Chapter 4: Power play
The White House, 2491: President Lex Luthor stared at the visual feed from the East Wing. The alarms had begun ringing around midnight waking the security team. Then Lex awoke from his sleep and immediately went to the main office and as a result noticed that several his computer screens went blank. As he stared at the visual camera and saw The Green Arrow taking out the security camera feed but He wondered was it Green Arrow or someone else. "What the hell is going on?" he said as he stared at his Security chief. Mason, a powerfully built man stared at Lex.
"Mr. President, the security feed detected what we thought were burglars, but then we saw this," Mason touched a button on the computer keyboard that was built into the President's desk. What came up on a holographic emitter was the symbol of the House of El, The family Crest of the House of El the one Superman used as his shield on his costume.
"Superman. How is he powered? I thought that was taken care of," Lex said staring at the image from the past. He then pulled up a 300 year old Daily Planet picture of The House of El symbol being burned into a building in Metropolis.
"This started back in 2007 when a super powered being who called himself The Blur started leaving this symbol around Metropolis, Kansas. It is rumored that The Blur got his start in Smallville, but again that was a rumor," Lex said.
"Well, obviously Mr. President, this Superman is not a rumor. How do we keep this being from stopping your attempting to take over the world? LuthorCorp has thousands of agents arranging for you to become leader of the world. No One will stop you, Mr. President," one of his aides said. Lex smiled.
"My genetic ancestor Lex Luthor stripped him of his powers, He is powerless so I do not know how this symbol came to be, but if this Superman got his powers back, I would be in trouble," Lex said wondering how this came to be. He then heard his wife Arianna come in.
"Honey, its 2:30am. What's so important that you had to get up," Arianna Luthor asked sleepily. She smiled at her husband, as she stared at the House of El Symbol.
"You reviewing ancient history, babe?" Arianna asked. Lex shook his head no. Mason, Lex's Chief security officer still looked grim.
"Mrs. Luthor, this image was taken less then two hours ago," He finally said….
