The United States of Lex
Part One
A bald man sat quietly looking down at the many documents spread across the extravagant desk before him. One hand rubbed along his forehead as the other slid a page from the stack. He read down the new sheet and then swiped it aside as well.
"No wonder America fell so easily, these bills are a joke. Who thinks this horrid trash up?" the man said, groaning.
He reached down and took the thick stack from the desk and cast it into the trash bin beside him. Things were going to be different now. The laws would be simple, and easy to follow; the law of Lex.
The door to the Oval Office slowly opened and a thin man in an expensive black suit entered.
"Mister, um, president, sir?" the man said, his voice trembling.
"President? There are no presidents in the USL, my dear friend," Lex said and then folded his hands on the desk.
"You may call me," he paused for a moment dabbling in his intellect, "his royal brilliance, the greatest master mind of the world, the father of the future."
The scrawny well dressed man looked around nervously, unable to look Lex in the eye. Bits of sweat beaded around his brow and dampened the hair line of his messy brown hair.
"Um, okay, mister future sir," the man said.
Lex sighed and then chuckled to himself, "close enough. What is it?"
"They are ready for you sir, as you requested."
Lex stood up and brushed his hands down the threads of his own finely crafted gray suit, flattening out the wrinkles.
"How do I look Stanly," Lex said to the man in the door way.
"Good sir," Stanly said.
"Do you know why that is Stanly?"
"No sir."
"Because I feel good," Lex said and a wide grin formed at his lips.
Lex moved from behind the desk, on his way he ripped down the red white and blue flag of the former United States of America, and then carried it over to Stanly. He tossed the flag into his arms and then walked past him.
"Burn that Stanly, the new flags will be her shortly," Lex said over his shoulder as he walked down the hall. It was now time for the show of the century, and his public awaited.
The bitter cold December air chilled Samantha to the bone, even through the thick feather jacket she wore. With her gloved hands clasped tight, she blew hot air into them and the steam of her breath fogged around her before the chill choked it away. The snow covered the lawn of the White House leading up to a massive stage that had only been constructed recently.
Samantha looked around at the crowd that collected around the stage. They all stood in the snow, a mix of every person imaginable, waiting for the villains arrival. Samantha know why she was there, why they all were there. Since Lex Luthor's rise to power few weeks ago, the US Government brought forth it's last failing effort to stop the mad man from seizing the entire country. Lex had made many attempts in the past to crumble the government, but nothing as well planned and successful as his last. It would appear that all the attempts before were mere distractions from his ongoing extortion of local law officials into crippling the financial state of America and waging enough wars to thin the military enough for internal hostile takeover.
The peoples last hope laid in the hands of two super powered aliens that had gone missing a few days ago. Many speculated that they ran from failure to protect the country and now hid some place in the depths of space, but Samantha disagreed with those accusations. They were not the running type, and she feared the worst for them.
The sky up above was as gray and gloomy as Samantha's spirits when the first round of fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded with bright green embers that fell down towards the earth. Green, Lex Luthor's new favorite color, or so it seemed, had been proudly displayed on the new flags posted throughout the city. The United States of Lex, is what he had called the nation now, and the flag was a lime green with two silver L's linked together in the center. A magnificent display of his arrogance for the whole world to see and fear.
Crackling came from the speakers followed by an energetic voice, "Ladies and gentleman, with great pleasure I am proud to introduce, your new leader, the prince of intellect, the greatest criminal master mind of our time, Lex, Luthor!"
The crowed conversed among themselves in a chaotic rumble, before the large overhead monitor displayed the words: Clap or be punished.
Slowly the crowd brought their hands together in a swelling torrent of applause. The monitor flipped over to a live camera focused on Lex Luthor himself as the much smaller version made his way to the center stage. He held a microphone in his hand, and stood on the edge of the stage like some sort of rock star. Samantha wondered if he had announced himself with such enthusiasm.
"My fellow Ex Americans," Lex said into the microphone which carried his voice with authority throughout the yard, "I am Lex Luthor, your new leader. Now I know what you are thinking, what was wrong with the old leadership? Well, let me tell you."
Lex began pacing the stage, with one hand on the mike, and the other tucked into the pocket of his suit.
"This country fell, not because it was weak, not because it was broke. It fell because it lacked quality leadership, and more importantly it excluded one very important element. Does anyone know what that element is?"
He paused a moment and looked at the crowed, who whispered among themselves. He smiled and looked at them like a parent might look down to a child who tried to comprehend things greater than they could possibly understand.
"The element, is you," He said.
The whisper in the crowd grew to a low rumble.
"That's right. You," Lex continued, "they made all these laws, rules, regulations, without ever asking you what you needed. Wealthy fat cats sitting up above, looked down on the people. They knew what was best for you, or so they thought. But like a thief in the night, I crept in and stopped the oppressors. I freed the people!"
The monitor flashed back to the applause warning and the people clapped with more vigor than they had before. From Samantha's left stepped a muscular man in a black suit, with a large steel suitcase in one hand and a fully automatic rifle in the other. He looked down at her, must have been well over six feet tall, and thrust the suitcase towards her. She gripped it with both hands.
"Lex wanted multiple angles on this show, here is your camera. You know what to do." the beast of a man said.
Samantha nodded, she knew exactly what she had to do. Being a new reporter, she could operate a camera like a pro. The question was, did she want to record this moment in history; broadcast it to the homes of every American?
"We will be watching the live feed, miss the action and the boss won't be happy. He is not a forgiving man."
The giant stalked off and Samantha bent down and opened the case. While she hurriedly set up her camera and tripod Lex continued to speak to the people.
"Furth more, they would rather put the trust of the nation in the hands of aliens! Aliens, can you believe that? A country who spends billions of dollars a year kicking human illegal aliens over the border!"
Samantha snapped the camera's battery in place, flipped on the power, and removed the lens cap. She was now ready to record and broadcast this event, for better or for worse. The camera has superior zoom capabilities and she zeroed in on Lex center stage.
"Well my new Lexinites! I have quite the show for you tonight!" Lex went on, this time the over head monitor did not have to switch over to the applause sign, the people clapped on their own. How easily the masses were controlled by a man with a silver tongue. Samantha reluctantly pressed the record button and instantly she was in the homes of every man woman and child.
On stage a group of black suited men escorted two prisoners in shackles towards Lex. She zoomed in on them and they were unmistakably the aliens she feared for only moments ago. The tall fit male wore a thick blue body suit, with red under garments just below his bright yellow belt. The kind of costume a dorky school kid might wear when he was looking for a hard ass kicking. He stood tall and proud as he always had in his knee high red boots, with his long flowing red cape draped over his shoulders. On the center of his chest was a red diamond shaped logo with a winding S in the center, and a backdrop of yellow. His bright blue eyes looked on the crowed with compassion as the wind caught a black lock of hair over his forehead and tossed it around.
Beside the male known as the Man of Steel, the slightly shorter woman stood. Her costume bore a remarkable resemblance to his, but instead of a full blue body suit, her stopped at the waste and tucked into a red pleated skirt held up by a similar yellow belt. her long toned legs descended from the end of the skirt, at the start of the knee, and vanished into calf high red boots. She also wore a long cape that danced in the wind, and the same diamond S logo molded over her shapely chest, which stuck out proudly, slowly rising and falling with her breath. Her long blond hair played behind her in the breeze as she too looked at the crowd confidently. Little was known about the woman alien, other than she was somehow related to the Man of Steel and had adopted the appropriate title of Super Girl, due to her equally impressive super human strength that she shared in common with the Man of Steel.
Both of the aliens had their wrists bound in front of them in metal cuffs. Strange green necklaces were choker tight around their necks. It almost looked like a joke to Samantha after all the video she had seen of the two lifting entire trains, she half expected them to rip their arms free and shoot up into the sky. But they didn't, and only stood there as Lex welcomed them to the stage.
"Here are the guests of honor now," Lex said as the two caped heroes were escorted beside him, "though they are hardly guests now are they? More like puppets of a corrupt government helping to oppress it's people. Let's see what they have to say for themselves shall we?"
Lex placed the microphone in front of the Man of Steel's face and he began to speak.
"The only thing that is corrupt around here Lex, is you. Give up this twisted game before more lives are ruined for your amusement."
Lex took back the mike, "Do you see how brain washed this alien is? Or perhaps he isn't brain washed at all? Maybe he is the one doing the brain washing, luring the once good men and women of this country into total slavery?"
Super Girl yelled something, but it was lost in the sound of the crowd. Lex quickly moved over to her, like an excited child eager to continue his game.
"What was that Super Girl? You had something to say?"
"You're a liar Lex, we only seek to help the people of this planet. You are the one who seeks to enslave!" Super Girl said, her angelic voice rang through the loud speakers and the crowd groaned at her statement.
"I don't think they believe you alien, I think they no longer want to be a part of your evil plot to rule this world!" Lex said, now holding the mike for himself.
The crowd went wild with cheer and began to chant, "Leave our planet, we don't need you."
"You heard the people, aliens, they don't want or need you, but we can't just simply let you go can we? You will just come back and terrorize them. No, we have to send a message to all the aliens in the galaxy that Earth is off limits!"
The crowd boomed once more cheering to Lex's speech. Samantha did not like where this was headed. She knew the heroes meant to do only good in the world, and they had even saved her once from a nasty bus crash. She remembered how safe she felt in the Man of Steel's arms as he scooped her up and carried her off into the sky. He was like an angel taking her to heaven, he spoke to her telling her she would be alright just before she passed out. She later awoke in a hospital bed and it all felt like a dream until she turned on the news and saw the report.
Lex was the real monster. His rise to power had already cost thousands of lives, but yet the crowd still cheered in blissful ignorance.
"I am not like the President of the ex America, I will hear the people! Would anyone like to share their story? Anyone at all?" Lex said looking down at the crowd.
Many hands shot up into the air and Samantha swung the camera to film it. She didn't wish to encourage this web of lies, but didn't want to end up dead either. Besides, the heroes would escape, Lex could not hold them forever, and when they did, he would be sorry.
Lex pointed into the crowd and two armed men went down and escorted an older woman on stage. She had gray hair, tangled around her shoulders, and was bundled up tight in winter clothing. Lex handed her the microphone.
"Hello," the woman said in a quiet tone, "I am Angela Connor, and that alien over there let my grandson die." Angela pointed at the Man of Steel.
The crowd gasped at her words and they disputed it amongst themselves.
"My sweet, sweet grandson was only 8, and that alien was too busy chasing some reporter girl to spare his life. The reporter always cast herself into danger, and this villain let the innocent die for the stupid and reckless!" Angela's voice shook on the last words and be began to sob. Lex pulled the mike away from her and guided her over to the male alien.
"Show him what you think of his, help," Lex said. Angela looked up at the hero with tear soaked eyes and then spit in his face. The Man of Steel cocked his head to the side and did not look at the woman. Super Girl began to shout again.
Lex escorted the woman to his guards and they brought her off stage, then he returned to Super Girl, "You had more to say?"
"We can't be everywhere at once, there is only two of us!" Super Girl said, then looked up at the Man of Steel whose look had faltered from the proud expression he wore earlier.
"We do our best to pro--"
"Yeah sure you do, when the people are worth your time," Lex cut her off pulling the mike away then moving to center stage once more.
"Does anyone else have a story to share?" Lex said and then selected another member of the audience.
A man was brought up on stage and Lex held the mike in front of him, "Hello, I am Chris. A few months ago I was about to end my life when Super Girl showed up. She saw me standing on the edge of a building and flew down to me. I just wanted to die, but she stood there with me. Talked to me, and showed me I could make a difference in the world."
The crowd grew quiet listening to Chris speak. Finally someone who could show the true nature of these heroes.
"If it wasn't for Super Girl I would be dead right now. These two people are not villains, they are true heroes and--"
Lex pulled the microphone away and laughed into it, "Well now, it appears the brain washing still has hold of a few people. So the heroine spares the life of a man who does not want to live, at the expense of how many who begged for a savior and got no reply! Good luck in the crowd friend, you will need it."
Lex shoved the man into his guards and the drug him down into the crowd who became violent with kicks and punches. The country had fallen into total darkness.
"Next speaker please, and do make it a good one," Lex said and this time the guards went down and picked a person. They returned from the masses with a man in a dirt brown coat who staggered alongside them. His face was covered in stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot. Lex held the mike out for the man to speak and then recoiled from what Samantha assumed was the stench coming off him. He slowly leaned back in.
"Hello friend, what's your story?"
"I lost my job, my woman, and, " the man paused thinking, with every item on his list he struck a finger on his hand with the other, "my car. All cause these super ass holes like flying round breaking stuff. Smashed up my job fighting something."
The drunk man swayed back and forth then looked at Lex with a blank expression.
"Sounds pretty rough there friend," Lex said, "what would you like to say to these two aliens?"
"Say? I want say nothing. Lost my woman, don't get no more pussy. I want to fuck the pretty blonde one." the drunk said.
Lex grinned wide, "Now there is an interested request ladies and gentleman. What do you say, should we help the man out?"
The crowed ripped with excitement and screamed up to the stage demanding the man get what he is owed. Samantha's gut spun over on itself. This was not going to end well at all.
