The associated press had been gathered for the better part of an hour waiting Lex Luthor to arrive and announce his latest weapon to be pushed to mass production. Among them sat Clark Kent, mild mannered reporter sitting patiently for the illusive Mr. Luthor. Finally at long last Luthor walked calmly to the center stage with a sense of pride that bordered on arrogance. As he took his place at the podium cameras began flashing wildly trying to a front page cover.

Clearing his throat, Lex began his prepared speech,

[I]“Ladies and gentlemen of the press I welcome you all here today for the unveiling of my latest line in defensive military equipment.”[/I]

As his voice trailed off Lex pulled out a remote from his inside jacket and pointed it towards the ceiling, splitting it in two and folding like the roof of a convertible. Behind him, on a rather large monitor, a local radar image of the area with LexCorp Tower being the center point.

[I]“As we speak there are two side-winder missiles fired from an F-15 Raptor are headed on a direct collision course with this podium.”[/I]

The myriad of concerned murmurs erupted from the crowd, while Clark simply narrowed his glare at Luthor prepared to move at a moment’s notice. Luthor turned his gaze to the left hand side of stage and pressed another button on his remote, bringing up the focus of his press conference.

[I]“I present to you the LexCorp Sky Sentry. It fires concentrated microwaves able to completely scramble the guidance systems of any missile.”[/I]

As the technician took his seat in the mounted turret the monitor behind Luthor began beeping fanatically indicating that the missiles that he had mentioned were coming into range. His confidant smirk and demeanor undiminished, Luthor turned to his technician and gave a single nod. As the machine whirred to life two bright balls of light formed from the ends of the barrels of the turrets, all was going according to plan. Without warning, the machine sputtered and shut off and the balls of light vanished. Before Luthor had a chance to begin criticizing his employee, Clark had already taken off, already taking off his suit.
