[hr][b]July 11th Metropolis, United States of America[/b][hr] Lex Luthor stared blankly out of the window of his office. It had been half a year since Lex Luthor found himself in the mantle of another man. Undoubtedly, it didn't take long for Luthor to find his way to Metropolis and assume ownership of LexCorp. The different shareholders and managers squabbled and the company was soon to fall, making it an opportune moment for Luthor to take "back" control of the company. Since then, using his business knowledge from his own world, Lex Luthor had brought his company back from its momentarily chaotic state, and with some work, ensured at least an income for himself in this world. In his office, Luthor read about the version of himself that inhabited this world- that is- the one he had appeared in. In this world, he was known as Alexei Luthorenko, and he was the son of Ukrainian migrants and committed suicide. Fortunately for this Luthor, the previous one's body was mysteriously never found. Luthor knew that none of this was correct. This world was wrong- a perversion of the comic books he knew and loved- and had already started on his plan of making everything as it should be, but not before learning everything he could about this new world. That is, learning what exactly was different. The only question was where to go from there. He spun around in his chair before flicking on the television- and that's where Luthor's first divine message seemed to come from. "MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY! SHOWDOWN OF THE RISING SUNS! CFM FACES OFF AGAINST THE RAW INVADERS AT THE ARENA COLISEO" an announcer excitedly announced. From there, he knew that he had to travel to Mexico...

Using LexCorp funds, Lex Luthor booked himself a flight from Metropolis all the way to Mexico City, and using the connections Luthorenko had, managed to get himself a seat in in the Arena Coliseo. There, he sat patiently, watching for what he had come for. When darkness enveloped the room, Luthor waited patiently before it was revealed to the audience: the masked man. Bane. The show was as amusing as Luthor could hope for. After all, back in his home dimension, Luthor was no stranger to sweaty men fighting in the ring. In fact, he had a pay-per-view fight on every night that had one at the comic book store he ran. The fights were clearly one-sided, though Luthor expected no less from Bane. As the show went on, Luthor was greeted with much more carnage than he had first anticipated. Though this was okay- it gave him a much better scope of the situation until it finally concluded. Lex Luthor appeared before Bane and Lord Death Man. "Gentlemen" he greeted, reaching into his suit for two business cards. "I believe that the three of us can do business with one another..." [hr][b]October 28th Queens, NY, United States of America[/b] [@DragonofTheWest][hr] Following his Mexico trip, Lex Luthor found himself in New York. That is, he booked a flight to New York hoping to find a proper ally there. Petty crooks, thieves, and otherwise criminals... completely useless to him. He needed to find a super villain- one that he recognized. Walking through the streets of New York, Lex Luthor stuck out, many people recognizing him. Of course, being New York, nobody really cared, more worried about going on their daily commutes. Then, out of nowhere, a woman screamed. A man had assaulted her. Lex Luthor immediately ran in the direction of the screaming. He may have been a super villain in this world, but where he came from, he was still an ordinary man Lex Luthor clotheslined the assailant, knocking him down and against the brick wall in front of him. Getting his bearings, the man ran, Lex Luthor quickly pursuing him. During the chase, Lex Luthor took out his phone, immediately dialing 911. He knew the city's police was busy, but he wasn't going to let this one criminal get away while he was there to stop it. Eventually, through a maze of alleyways, the man grew tired, Lex Luthor in spite of his somewhat advanced age managed to keep up, knocking the guy back down. He turned him over, picking the criminal up by the scruff of his beard, looking menacingly at him but not speaking. He would have waited for the cops to arrive- that is- until he heard a loud thump. Something else? Spousal abuse perhaps? Lex Luthor tossed the man onto the concrete floor, turning him around again to tie his hands to keep him restrained until the cops arrived. Meanwhile, Luthor moved to investigate the particularly loud smack. It was a boxing gym- so the sound may have just been a friendly fight. Nonetheless, Luthor entered the building to investigate, keeping an eye on the criminal through his periphery.
