Chapter 3 [Luthor Mansion]
Chloe tucked Ryan into the crib at the side of Lex's study and sat down in a tired heap. "Finally! He's snoozing. Wish Lana was here."
"Hard to believe a kid could tire you out like that, Sullivan," Lex responded almost glibly. He sat behind his desk and reviewed the security tap on the Talon's camera. "Sonnuva…! It was him! He almost looks like a mountain man!"
"Let me see. Rewind it, Luthor." Chloe watched the footage and shook her head. "He looks like a frontier guy all right. And given the Destroyer stunt, it's him. At least he took Zorpox down. Where are they now?"
"Heloise took them somewhere," Sasha indicated. From her worker bee spies, she'd watched the battle as well. "Agents Singleton and Petersen are still there."
"Any news on Kim or Yori?" Rick pushed.
"None although we know Dahak is holding them somewhere," Lex indicated. "That creep also took a piece of Dave too." He smacked the desk. "I hate this! I wish I could do something."
"Yeah and get that bald plate cracked further? Not a chance," Chloe disagreed. "Who's the glowing lady? She packs a mean punch but can't shoot straight."
"That's Shego. GJ got her out of Belle Reeve to help us," Rick explained. "Excuse me. I need to report in. Rufus, watch the fort, okay?"

Lex dialed the phone and spoke into it briefly. Then he set the receiver back down. "Paramedics will be at the Talon in a couple of minutes. Let's hope Clark and Lana are okay."
"I'll go and check on the agents," Alicia informed them before disappearing in a green flash.
Even as things seemed to turn around, more issues kept coming to light…
