Chapter 1

Lex Luthor woke up to the sound of knocking from outside his study. He'd fallen asleep over some LuthorCorp files, which were now plastered to the side of his face. Lana had been over for several hours last night, resulting in Lex's neglecting of important job statements for his company. He peeled the papers from his head, and looked around to find the source of the racket. He caught a glimpse of the clock. . .6:06, much to early for visitors. He walked to the window overlooking the main entrance, and saw none other than a small child throwing stones at his front door.


Here I am, walking down the streets of a hick town in the middle of nowhere. . . "Smallville" is what the humans call it. I normally don't do these jobs myself, I have plenty of able and willing minions to collect the Souls for me. But this job is different. I've studied this man, the one they call Lex. He's a hero down in my domain, and a 'madman' in God's frilly little paradise. His future may be my best work yet, if all goes as planned.

I transfigured a few hours ago, which basically allowed me to raise some hell in a few bars and gas stations before I started my job. I've been so high up in the Inferno for so long, I almost forgot the raw satisfaction of causing a little mayhem. Sweet nostalgia. . .

I took the form of a human child just for this occasion. Lex had a brother who died a while back, at my hands, nonetheless. A few whispers in his tramp mother's ear, and the boy was dead. It was beautiful. . . When doing a Soul recon, one must appeal to the individual's emotions, 'tug at the heartstrings' if you will. We can come to you as a gorgeous woman, a deceased loved one, anything, really, that'll get you to follow us. Occasionally, an angel decides to take the "moral high ground" and interfere, but I've fool proofed this job. Lex is coming home with me.

But I'm gonna mess with him a little first. . .
