Tampa, Florida, Primary Resident...
"An island, sir?" (Mathew)
"Yes, not too large nor too small; can you get it?"
Me and Matthew were in my house discussing my plan to buy an island.
"Yes, yes, I can, sir.(Mathew)
"Good, now how's business?"
"Everything has been running smoothly since our deal with Lex Corp.; the constant harassment from the government has disappeared, and thanks to that, we are moving forward in our acquisition and investment of our targeted companies." (Mathew)
"Excellent, but I need you to slow down the progress by a couple of years; if not, we will gain some unnecessary enemies."
"Will do, sir..."(Mathew)
"Well, if nothing else..."
"Yes, sir, I will contact you when I get news." (Mathew) He stood up and left.
"Got it"

The next day...
"Interesting development in Gotham; apparently crime rates have been dropping constantly each week. The commissioner said that is for the great police work, but others had something to say. More tonight at ten o'clock." (News Anchor)
"He really is working hard..."
I was in my living room watching TV when a preview of tonight's news was announced.
~{Batman is working fast in Gotham, catching criminals and busting drug deals}~
Suddenly...
*Rumble* *Rumble*
Everything began to shake a little, then it stopped.
{Hmm!?, earthquake?}
"Wierd, it was natural or..."
"Breaking news! Metropolis suffered a massive earthquake. The police and fire department have begged the people to stay calm." (News Anchor)
"Clark"
After a couple of hours, new developments were reported by the chief of police of Metropolis.
"Luckly, the damage was only material; there were no casualties." (Chief of Police)
"He helped in secret, why?, and more importantly, if this doesn't make him put up the costume, what will?"
********************
It's been a couple months since the incident in Metropolis, and as I expected rumors started to circulate on the internet.
"I'm a survivor of the earthquake in Metropolis, and let me tell you, the rumors are true. I was in my basement when all of that happened, and when my basement collapsed, I was transported outside my house along with my family. Someone or something saved us that day." (Anonymous)
I confronted Clark a couple of weeks ago.
"Did you do it?"
"You need to be more specific, Isaak" (Clark)
"Come on, Clark, Metropolis, earthquake, you need more?"
"I don't think that discussing this on the phone will be wise." (Clark)
"Oh, don't worry about it. I encrypted this line so no one can hear us."
"How?"(Clark)
"I own a lot of satellites and mobile companies, so did you do it?"
"Yes, yes, I did; don't tell mom and dad, please" (Clark)
"Sure thing, but be careful there, brother."
"Yeah, yeah"(Clark)
*Bep*
(Sigh)
"I'm willing to bet that he is already on the radar of a big, shiny, bald-headed genius."

Metropolis...
In a luxurious office on the top of a building, a bald, tall man and an old man were discussing something. The tall man was at a grand desk with a huge computer and chair. In front of him, the old man was sitting on a regular office chair.
"The miscalculations had been finally fixed, mister Luthor." (Head Scientist)
"What was the cause of the reactor malfunction?" (Lex)
The bald man interrupted.
(Gulp)
"Like I said, Mr. Luthor, there were some miscalculations in the formula that caused a chain reaction that made the reactor..." (Head Scientist)
"And who was the one who made the miscalculation?" (Lex)
He interrupted again.
"I...I.."(Head Scientist)
"Then the problem is not fixed, isn't it?" (Lex)
He stood up from his chair, overshadowing the old scientist.
"I want all the responsables fired today, understood?" (Lex)
"Yeah, sir(Head Scientist)
He made a leave motion with his left hand, which the old man obeyed, leaving the office.
*Thud*
Now alone, the bald man sat down again.
"Incompetent all of them..." (Lex)
He massaged his forehead with his left hand.
*Thud*
Suddenly, a six-foot-tall woman came through the door. She had brown hair and dark eyes, and she was wearing a blue suit.
"Mercy, any news?" (Lex)
"No, mister Luthor, I found the same thing, and some of the statements were questionable." (Mercy Graves) She stopped right in front of his desk.
"Hmm, truly fascinating..." He was watching something on the monitor of his computer.
On the monitor was a video playing on repeat of a building collapsing due to the recent earthquake, but before the building was completely destroyed, people started to disappear rapidly.
Only a blur can be seen of something moving extremely fast, and this thing was putting people on the streets.
"I want to know what this means." (Lex)
"Yes, mister Luthor(Mercy)
