I've been revisiting the Outlast gameplay and it crossed into my Clex scrolling. So I cooked up an idea cookie:
Lex Luthor is one cold business bastard with a few attachment problems to a certain superpowered alien.
A bastard who works with a plethora of scientists to achieve the best possible weapons against the overpowered flying menace.
Now, what happens if a prototype - not even licensed under LexCorp, but just a tinkering of two curious scientists with a nice solid work conditions - ended up with a portal to a certain place with certain nutcases?
"I swear this thing was only a prototype, not even meant for anything, just to see if the wires crossed properly." The woman - one of the more experienced senior staff - was a mix of holy shit and a much oh well, which was surprisingly calm for someone who just sent their own CEO into another realm.
The supervisor could only sigh.
"Do we at least know where he is?"
Fidgeting with the ring like portal, the other spoke up, her face more of a grimace.
"Yeah, I think he's... There."
Or: Lex Luthor by pure accident ends up in Eddie Gluskins wing, has to survive, sees a lot, is forced to ruminate on his obsession with Superman and love is lost between the lines.
"Mr Superman, excuse me." The younger scientist is going places and she hopes it's not prison in case their CEO gets back. Cause man does this man have brains, better get him back themselves than if he gets back on his own. And then makes their life a problem.
Superman raised an eyebrow, but flew a bit down, floating casually in front of them.
Before he could politely ask what's the matter, she blasted out the
"Eehm, I, I mean me, I mean is we kinda-portaled-our-CEO-into-thenightmarerealm-by accident. Please help us out?"
The grimace was halfway a pained smile.
"You really asked Superman?" The older scientist sighed, but honestly better keep all options open.
"Yeah, I mean we could probably maybe get him back, though he ain't gonna be happy."
"Fair point, either way, good to have a superhuman shield when the CEO gets into a massive meltdown."
Meltdown currently in progress:
