DCU Superman #13

"Just a few hours ago, there was a robbery attempt that was once again prevented by our very own caped crusader. However, there was also a fight with Superman and a strange robot dubbed 'Metallo', who was taken-" I turn off the TV.

 

 

"I'm sorry that it didn't work Mr. Luthor. But don't worry I'll deal with Henshaw, painfully." I let out a minor chuckle before replying.

 

 

"Mercy please, I appreciate your effort to amuse me, but I'll handle it myself." We then stop by the place, my driver gives me a nod to confirm it. I leave the car and head there myself. I'm greeted by the tired, yet nervous professor.

 

 

"M-mr. Luthor, if you just let me explai- " I interrupt as I strike him in the right cheek, resulting in a bloody mess.

 

 

"Mercy!" I yell out. She hands me a handkerchief. Which I wipe off the blood with. "You have to understand something Mr. Henshaw, I'm a simple man who expects results of success, not failures."

 

 

"P-please do-." I silence him as I pull out a pistol unload a round into his chest.

 

 

"Hank, you of all people should know the most important thing about being a savior is not accepting other people's failures, that's why Lexcorp was built, for successful ideas to help the next generation, not to fail." I then stand up. "Mercy!" She leaves and returns with gasoline, and lights up the lab. Hank struggles to breathe. "I'm so sorry it had to come down this way, I really am. But hey, you'll be one of the many examples of not crossing with Me." I leave the building.

Hank struggles to move, his breathing getting weaker. Until he hears someone approaching him.

 

 

-/Hello Hank/-

 

 

It says

 

 

“Who…. are-” is the last thing he lets before he gets his head slammed into the ground, knocking him out.
