Luther Log 004 - Population Control/Nervous Breakdown

[greatestmanll40]

 [Lex now remembers.

Or rather, he forgets. His mind is a mess. Filled with patches. He's now been 'updated' to current. When he gained absolute omnipotence... only to lose it to his own hatred of Superman. 

His deserved hatred! But why... he can't remember... something about a friend. 

Lex walks downstairs in a stupor and finds a starnge package...]

A. Phone

Hello... Mayfield... I am Lex... Luthor? The package that arrived helped remind me. I need to rememebr more. I had all the power.

Everything I could ever dream. And I lost it! To that damn alien! The alien, who was he? Just... anger. Fury forever! I need to do this.

I need my power back. I need it all back.

 

B. Action.

 

[You can find a seemingly dazed and despondent lex laying on a hammock outside, re-reading the letter. He looks like a wreck.]

[Lex is lying on his back with a look of unnatural stoicism on his face.

He notices the bible.]


Do not mock me further with the words of a false god when it was I who held the power of omnipotence over this Universe.

[She raises an eyebrow, but gives him an amused smile.]

Thats quite a bold statement from a man who looks so very troubled by his life's circumstances.

But no. I merely came to talk. And to tell you that I wasn't planning to hurt you.

[Lex's eyes bulge.

The assassin.

He jumps behind the hammock.]

Don't you even think about it!

My genius has already deduced over a thousand ways to defend myself from the likes of you!

Oh, come now, don't be ridiculous. Why on earth would I want hurt you? I don't even know you.

[She tries a gentle smile and extends her hand.]

Now stop being silly and let's talk like civilized adults, alright?

[greatestmanll40.livejournal.com]

Then speak.

Or I will b forced to strike.

[She raises an eyebrow.]

Well there isn't any cause to be rude, Mr. Luthor.

All I really wanted to do was set your mind at ease. I won't do anything to hurt you. Or anyone else. No matter what.
