Metropolis - Progression

I don't know where I am. It's like I'm breaking into a million pieces. And there's only one thing I remember.

And then I wake up

My idea notebook is an actual notebook. Pen and Paper. Old School, But It Can't Be Hacked. Digital Technology has come so far it has become unreliable. I Should Know. I Always Like To Start The Day With a Little Brainstorming. Then To Business.

7:30 AM: Pre-Breakfast Meeting

"Mu-M-Mister Lutor-"

"Luthor."

"Mister Luthor, you can't just buy out your company!" Dan Andridge cried out.

"Yes, I CAN, and all before breakfast, it's called Hostile Takeover, Mr. Andridge," he drank some coconut water, "This is terrible!"

"I know, we can talk this out," Andridge pleaded.

"No, this water, I'm sticking to cucumber," he sighed, "Now let's review the dirt I have on you. Knowing that I Won't Go Public with it will make your compliance with the Takeover seem like the sweetest deal you ever got."

Andridge sighed

"You know what," Lex said. Andridge looked up hopefully, "I'm sticking with regular water."

7:52-Shower

8:09-Manicure

8:29: Arrive at Office

"Mr. Luthor! Luthor!" A man calked me out.

"Please, call me Lex," he replied.

He entered his meeting with Sam Lane.

"So what are you going to do about these people, General," Lex asked.

"I've made my decision bout em," Sam Lane replied with a sigh, rolling his eyes. These super-heroes aren't a threat, just look at superman!"

Meanwhile Clark was helping a kitten out of a tree. Back at the meeting, Lex stared at the glass of wine in front of him, and then picked it up.

"I'm getting sick of hearing that name, General. Superman, Man of Steel, Man of Tomorrow," he panted, his voice trailing off.

"Are you sure this isn't about you, Lex," General Lane took a deep breath. "God Bless America."

"He has something to do with it. With the memories I've lost," Lex started to say, "But it's not just that. There's something wrong with that guy."

9 AM - Breakfast

Daily Planet

Clark was typing at his desk when Lois walked up to him.

"I got a message from the Toyman. It says 'I'm Coming.'"

"We know he's been planning something big. We just have to stay one step ahead of him."

Lois and Clark's Apartment, 3 hours later...

Clark looked outside to see the destruction. He changed into the suit and speeded over to Toyman's base, where army officers had arrived to take him away.

"I will destroy you city of tomorrow, and take over the world!"

"I won't let you. Out there my team is working, fighting yours and preventing damage to the area while you are carted away, to be dealt with once and for all!" Clark reminded him.

"Clark you need to see this," Chloe said over his earpiece. "He built it with the help of some guy called Ivo."

Superman flew into the city to see a giant robot attacking with laser vision, and used arctic breath to stop it.

That evening Lex returned to his room and slid his hand beneath the mattress to make sure the gun was still there. His fingers brushed over the trigger, and his throat tightened like he was having an allergic reaction. He withdrew his hand, then went to get something to drink.
