The Titans were forced to restrain Lincoln with a small portion of kryptonite after he threatened to punch a hole in the side of their tire. Ever since Blackfire kidnapped Lucy, he's been livid and training like crazy to be at the top of his game so that he could get her back. But none of his friends wanted him hurting himself over this. They were already working on a plan to try find a way to get Lucy back, and they already could tell that if Blackfire was working with Chandler, that had to've meant that she was employed by Lex Luthor to abduct her.
"Superman will definitely not like the fact that Luthor has taken one of his kin." Damian estimated. "It would be wise to take into consideration that he will stop at nothing to try and save her."
"So, would it be best to team up with him, then?" Ronnie Anne asked. "We all work together, storm Lexcorp and take Lucy back."
"That sounds like a proper plan, if any." Donna commented. "But we'd still need a schematic of the Lexcorp building."
Haiku then said "Already on it. I called Lynn in Gotham, and she too was maddened by the fact her former sister was abducted by Luthor's bastard son and Starfire's horrid witch of a sister."
Starfire walked around saying "Hey, don't call her that...only I get to do that."
"Word of these turn of events may have reached the Louds, Lincoln, and Lucy's old family, as well." Haiku stated. "Lynn likely had told her family what had gone, and now they're wanting to take part in the rescue party."
"They're civilians. They would endanger themselves if they tried to intervene." Damian stated.
"Try telling them that." Raven said. "You can't stop a family that big from looking after their loved ones."
"So...that means we have Superman, Batman, ourselves and the Louds all coming together to save Lucy?" asked Sid.
"That seems to be the case." Ronnie Anne replied. "Just about big enough to be considered a small army.
Starfire then stated "Then it's settled. We must launch our assault on Lexcorp and rescue Lucy. Now."
"I'll go get Lincoln." Ronnie Anne said as she walked off to Lincoln's room. Inside, she found her friend staring at a mirror, and no longer was he wearing street clothes, but instead, a black suit similar to that of his father's. Having a silver metal lining and the symbol of the house of El on it. When he turned to see who entered, Ronnie Anne could tell that he has the most serious face she'd ever seen out of him.
"Lincoln? You definitely seem ready. More than us." she remarked.
"That Chandler messed with my friends, that witch kidnapped my sister. I'm taking the battle to them, and it's personal." He said in a dark tone with narrowed eyes.
Ronnie Anne was a little unnerved by this, but she couldn't blame him. It really was personal at this point and she could tell that Lincoln was more than determined enough to rip Lexcorp apart to save his sister.
"Ooookaaay...We leave in a few minutes. Be ready by then...and I promise you. We will get her back."
Lincoln nodded at that as his eyes started to glow red...
Meanwhile, Lucy had been sitting in some kind of containment cell, specifically designed to nullify her powers, if the red solar generators that made up the walls were of any indications. She had her arms wrapped around her legs and she hadn't moved a muscle or made any attempts to escape since it was hopeless. She felt as weak as even before she had her powers. Whatever her captors has planned for her, she could only hope that her friends and family come for her soon. Especially her brother, she had faith in the most.
Outside her containment cell, Lex and Chandler were looking at her through monitors. Both of them were looking at her misery with sinister smiles of satisfaction, for their plan worked better than they hoped as Luthor managed to get himself a Kryptonian half-breed. But Chandler didn't fully understand the reason why.
"Dad, not I don't enjoy this but...why exactly did you want to capture Larry's loser freaky sister here?" He asked.
"The fact that the Kryptonian was able to reproduce intrigued me very much." Luthor answered. "Not only does she have an immunity to standardized kryptonite, but an array of powers that were never seen from Superman. This cries out for me to research and help me understand such abilities. A Kryptonian can tested, measured, dissected if necessary. Once I unlock the secrets of their DNA, I can adapt them into future projects that will make my company thrive!"
"So, then she's gonna be a little gunie pig then?" Chandler said. "I wouldn't mind having powers like you. Something even better than Larry's, since I know for certain that he doesn't deserve it!"
"I know the feeling, son." Luthor said, putting a hand on Chandler's shoulder. "Superman's powers belong in the hands of those who can truly protect the world."
"And what better way to protect the world than to rule it?" His run replied with evil intention. Something, the two shared as Lex had a smile on his face.
"Couldn't have said it any better myself."
But as they were going over their evil plan, they felt the entire building suddenly start to shake rather violently. It was not natural, as they came in one large shock after another as if the building itself was being punched in the side. The monitors flipped to see that it was in fact being punched, not just by Superman, but his son, Lincoln. Luthor's security forces had themselves busy dealing with Titans, and Batman secretly managed to sneak his way inside of Lexcorp, with Orphan and Red Sparrow helping him along the way. It was full on plan, they attack Lexcorp, rescue Lucy and as a bonus, expose Luthor for all of his criminal activities...again.
"We're in Oracle." said the Dark Knight as he and his proteges sneaked through the floors while the action was happening outside. In security they faced was taken down silently and swiftly.
"Make sure to head to the lower levels. Target the generators and then find the main terminal console before the whole building goes dark." said Oracle, Batman's eye in the sky.
But then, another voice could be heard through the com. One with a very familiar dental lisp. "Once you've reached the terminal, it should be left to Barbara and I to hack in and search for evidence regarding Luthor's illegal activities. That bald, narcissist, meta-physicist will rue the day he-"
"Barbara, get Lisa off the line." remarked Batman.
In the Batcave, Barbara Gordan was busy trying to pry Lisa Loud away from the Batcomputer. It took some effort, but she was able to do so.
"Lisa, I appreciate helping out and all, but Bruce does not think he should let a child, even if you are gifted, get involved with this sort of work.
"That's a bit hypocritical if you ask me." Lisa remarked. "And it's not like it's dangerous here! My family is already involved! They're up there as we speak!"
"Wait, they're doing what now?!" Barbara quickly turned back to the monitor and saw what was happening right now.
While the Titans were taking on Lexcorp's security, they didn't really need all that extra help. They were handling just fine, doing what they did best as superheroes and kicking the heck out bad guys with their variety of skills and talents. But when they knew the Louds were going to be taking part in all this, they weren't expecting...what happened here.
"Hey, isn't that the Loud's van in the distance?" Sid pointed out, and Blue Beetle turned to see that it was, in fact, Vanzilla, but she was looking a little...industrial. Having armored plating welded around its frame, new tires that were much bigger, meant for construction vehicles, a rammer in the front bumper, and what the Titans could only guess was a cannon of some sort mounted on top of the van. Lori was in the driver's seat, looking like she had road rage, while the other sisters were inside, armed up with makeshift weapons that Heather helped build with Lana.
The Titans were shocked and confused to see this happening when they saw the cannon firing projectiles that were blasting away at the guards and the side door of the vans open to have the Loud Girls, and Heather, jump out with makeshift guns.
"Eat hot tennis balls, you jerks!" Lana said as her gun fired tennis balls and pounded the guards in the face. Their weapons looked to have been made out of a variety of various things. The Titans were still shocked by this happening.
"They shouldn't be here!" Damian cried out. "This is way too dangerous for civilians!"
And then, he got hit in the face with a Tennis ball himself.
"Well, too late to stop them now." Said Blue Beetle, bringing out his arm cannon. "Let's go crazy!"
"Agreed!" yelled out Starfire as she slammed the ground and sent a shockwave the blasted away the guards...
Meanwhile, Superman had finally managed to break through the exterior of the building and was now in the building, where he was almost instantly fired upon by security guards, robots, and sentries. Lex was pulling out all the stops to at least try and slow the heroes down. It was not even close to being enough as the bullets bounced off of Superman, who wasted no time firing his heat vision at everything that was automated and unmanned. The guards were taken care of by Lincoln, using his super strength and speed to slam them away and render them unconscious. The fight was over in seconds.
"Let's find my sister."
Superman nodded silently in agreement. He too was peeved at the fact that Luthor stole his daughter and had no doubt he planned to experiment on her. But he wouldn to have it. He will save Lucy, if it kills him.
(GETS HIT WITH A BLAST OF KRYPTONITE)
Although, when it comes to Luthor, that's just about the idea. As the founder of Lexcorp himself showed up in his giant warsuit, a massive mech that allows him to go blow for blow with superpowered individuals and hold his own, and even defeat some of the most superpowered beings.
"Insurrection does not suit you, Superman." He taunted. "Though, perhaps I should thank for giving me exactly what I needed to turn the public against you."
"They'd sooner accept the truth than whatever lies you can think of!" said the Prime Kryptonitan.
That made Luthor chuckle "Clearly, don't know humans as well as you'd think. Once you and your accomplices are defeated, the world will turn to me to see you detained."
"We can make this easy and have you give me back my sister!" Lincoln shouted, his eyes glowing hot red.
"Or perhaps, you can join her!" That is when Lex activates a gravity beam that pulls Lincoln towards him before he launches them back. But Superman intervened and brawled with his most hated enemy. Luthor seemed to have upgraded his suit, however, since he was taking more blows than he ever could before. He was able to grab Superman with both hands and toss them over his shoulder face-first into the ground.
"Must I really remind you of my superiority?" He joked. But before he could make another attack, Lincoln came in front behind and launched his fist into the back of Lex's warsuit. Luthor was caught off guard by this and thus, was not ready for the beatdown the son of Superman was starting to put him through. But that was cut short when Chandler showed up with his own mech. That was something Lincoln was really starting to get annoyed over.
"You just don't know when to quit, do you Chandler?"
"Speak for yourself, Larry! Once we crack the code of your freak's DNA, you and the Superloser you call a father is history!" McCann roared as he took action, trying to slam some of his mechanized fist into Lincoln, but Lincoln caught it and punched back with ten times more force. Neither Kryptonian was planning on losing to their most fear rival.
Back with the Titans and the Louds, they were able to finish up on the security outside the tower.
"Alright! Now, let's head and try and help out Lincoln, and find Lucy!" Ronnie Anne yelled out and they charged into the front entrance of Lexcorp...only to come across more guards and robots who were firing at them relentlessly. This forced them to take cover as Ronnie Anne shot her arm cannon at them with frustration "Oh...come on!"
Fortunately, Batman and his partners were in much better luck than the others, having gotten to where they needed to be in Lexcorp, the main terminal, and were working on disabling the entire tower and getting the evidence they needed.
"Oracle, shut this place down!" Batman ordered.
"On it, Batman." she replied. "Once the entire tower's offline, and tech that is connected to its defense will almost instantly be rendered useless."
And that it was, with the flick of a switch, they managed to power down the entire building, to which all forms of Lexcorp-based equipment, guns, tech, robots, suits, all were immediately powered down with the rest of the building.
Even Luthor and his son's mechs were disabled as they went limp inside their warsuits.
"Ah! What?! What just happened?!" Chandler yelled as he no longer able to control his suit as it fell to the ground. This gave Lincoln and Superman the chance to destroy the suits and pry the two out of them. Lincoln, taking Chandler by the neck and lifting him, choking up, not messing around anymore.
"Where...is my sister?!" He growled, eyes glowing red.
But Chandler, stubborn as he was, spat in his face. "Go screw yourself, you white-haired freak!"
Lincoln was ready to punch a hole through Chandler's head, when Superman quickly grabbed him and stopped him from going any further.
"Son, please don't." He said. "I know you're desperate to find Lucy, so am I. But we're not killing anyone here. Just let him, Lincoln. Let him go."
The intense glowing in Lincoln suddenly faded as he calmed down and dropped the choked out Chandler, who started gasping for air. Superman already took the liberty of getting what they needed out of Lex Luthor. Lucy was in a cell that was deep below the main building. So in order to get to her while the building's powered down...Superman used his heat vision to drill through down through every floor until it hit the ground. The Titans and the Louds had just finished with the guards in the lobby...
"So...what's next?" Luna asked before everyone was startled by a giant laser beam drilling through the floor.
"I think Superman just found where Lucy was." Donna stated.
When the drilling stopped, Lincoln wasted no time flying through the holes his father made and headed down to the secret lab in the lower levels of Lexcorp. There, he found the containment cell that Lucy was held up in and pried it open with his bare hands. And there was his little sister, still sitting in a fetal position and lifted her head, giving Lincoln a weak smile, happy to see him again.
"I knew you'd find me." She said. Lincoln didn't say anything though, he looked up set. Walking over to her, he picked her up bridal style and carried her out of there. Flying back up to the surface, everyone was there and was relieved to see that Lucy was safe and sound. Superman came by and looked sadly at his children.
"They just keep attacking us and even kidnapping us right at home." Lincoln whimpered. "We can't live like this."
"I'll make it up to you, son." Clark spoke. "...I knew just the place that should be fine."
Smallville, Kansas
Martha and Jonathan were more than willing to open their home to their grandchildren. For heir home would be the perfect place for Lucy to recover and for Lincoln to look after her and others while safe.
At the moment, Ma Kent had Lucy resting up in one of her guest rooms before coming down to see Lincoln in the living room, having fallen asleep while watching TV. Smiling, she gives her grandson a kiss on the forehead before turning off the TV and looking over to her son, standing by the doorway.
"I can thank you enough for doing this, Ma." He said with such care and softness. His adopted mother only smiled as she replied. "I'd do anything for you, son. And I promise that they will be safe here until the heat dies down. Okay?"
Clark smiled before the two embraced. But there was still much to do to ensure the safety of his children.
With a recent turn of events and proof of all the illegal activities the company is involved in, Lexcorp was forced to go dark to avoid any further persecution. They can handle the lack of physical evidence against them, but recovery time will be for a long while, with the public's view on Luthor's company already dwindling.
At the moment, he and Chandler were busy trying to pick up the mess of what was left behind during the battle. Both were frustrated, but his son showed it a lot more.
"Ugh! How could we not see that Larry has a lot more friends than we know how to deal with?!" He growled. "He had them right where we wanted them, and we let them slip through our fingers!" He kicks his down mech and anger...and immediately regrets when his foot starts to hurt.
With a stoned face, Luthor simply stares off in a distance, thinking over what he has already learned.
"Now is not the time to be focused on past mistakes." He said. "With plans I've already set in motion, away from the public eye, we will get those freaks yet." Luthor the turns to Chandler. "Trust me, my son. We're simply taking things to the next level from here on out..."
