Days later
Lex entered the Luthorcorp elevator with a hint of worry in his heart. Lana hadn't returned yet but that wasn't what was worrying him. Inside of his shirt pocket was a small handheld device, looking closely only would realize that it resembled a smart phone. Lex had gained all of Alex's memories and although most of it was useless it gave him ideas. So while this device resembled a smart phone it hadn't reached that level of advancement. It was more like the classic Ipod touch but larger. Inside of that device was brainiac. Knowing what such a being is capable it why Lex was being so careful. So far Brainiac had proven to be not only useful but loyal. Lex had decided to do as he hoped others would do for him in the future and give brainiac the benefit of the doubt. Were there security measures in place? Yes, Lex was giving him a chance not throwing away his own life.
Walking towards his office he took a seat at his desk before reaching for a usb. Plugging it into the Ipod he watched as Brainiac began to dive into Luthorcorp systems.

"Proceed with step 2," Lex commented.
[searching through the database to find discrepancies…]
"Mr.Luthor? You are Lex Luthor right?" Looking up from his chair Lex locked eyes with a man wearing the clothes of a delivery worker. The hat on his his head hid his expression but Lex found the fact that he was here odd.
"Who are you, who let you back here?" Lex asked confused standing up he reached for the phone at the desk.
"I wouldn't do that If I were you," Lex paused raising an eyebrow at the words. "The more people you bring here the more people you put in danger." Reaching behind him the man pulled out a gun. "This took weeks of planning, now that I have you I won't be letting you get away so easily."
Looking at the weapon Lex could only accept his fate, ever since the last time he had used his powers they hadn't reappeared. Even now as he hoped to save himself they refused to appear, swiping the ipod while the man couldn't see behind the desk Lex frowned.
"You said you've been planning this for weeks, why?" Lex hadn't made any new enemies and those that had hated him in the past were exactly that in the past.
"The fact that you don't even recognize me is telling enough, you're exactly the kind of man I thought you were. Evil, callous, and sick. But you're going to make up for all the evil you've done today." Walking around the desk the man grabbed Lex's shoulder.
"What's your plan? How are you going to transport me out of my own building with a gun to my back?" Lex asked still holding both of his hands in the air.
"Who said anything about leaving the building," Lex felt a squeeze on his shoulder before everything went dark.
In the blink of an eye the sun had gone down and the moons rays shined down on LuthorCorp. He was alone in his office now and for a second he began to wonder if the whole thing was a hallucination. Walking over to the glass windows he frowned upon looking outside, there were no other buildings. There was Luthorcorp and then space as far as the eye could see.
"How do you like it? I like to call it the shadowrealm."
Lex turned around and had to admit he was intrigued. This guy had some how transported him to some other reality. In some ways it reminded him of the anime Alex used to watch. This guy didn't have any fancy eyes but he could replicate the ability of Obito's sharigan?
"It's a wonderful ability, are you able to create exact replicas of the real world or are you limited to the building you're in?" Lex asked unable to contain his curiosity. In some ways this realm could be seen as a sort of inner world similar to ichigos.
"If only the doctors you hired for floor 33.1 saw it the same way. I've been heavily sedated for the past year and a half. Do you think i've had time to explore what i'm truly capable of, they treat us like lab pets. Dissecting us trying to find out which gene activates what ability, do you know how many people I've seen die because of you?" The kidnapper raised his gun as he looked at Lex.
"I cancelled floor 33.1 more than 6 months ago, not to mention I hired no one to dissect anyone. The floor 33.1 I created was designed to teach those with abilities how to go about living a normal life. Sure some have donated Dna and blood in the hopes that my people can find a cure but I can assure you I had no part in what happened to you." Lex already knew who the true culprit was. It amazed him that Lionel who was supposed to cleansed of his evil ways would resort to such measures. His search for knowledge had crossed a line and Lex could only blame himself for not keeping a closer eye on him.
"You're lying, I read the documents. They were all signed and issued by you." Placing the gun to his own forehead Jace tapped it against his head a few times closing his eyes in the process. "I know what will make you tell the truth. I'll bring your girlfriend here, if you don't care about your own life maybe you'll care about hers." Turning his back he took a step before vanishing.
"Wait!" Lex reached out towards him but it was too late he was alone. Seeing that there was nothing he could do he reached into his pocket pulling out brainiac. "I'm sure you witnessed all of that. How do I get out of here?"
[I would need more information before before I can make a judgement.]
[If you could activate your kryptoinian genes I'm sure you'd be removed from this world.]
Unfortunately they were both aware that activating those genes was currently impossible. Lex could only wait until he returned.
"B2 the moment he returns I need you to scan everything, the moment he arrives." Lex looked down at the device identical to an ipod touch in his hand.
[Understood, I will initiate a full-spectrum scan of all incoming data streams, including any physiological and behavioral markers associated with the individual in question. This will allow us to gather as much information as possible and make informed decisions moving forward. Is there any specific data or parameters you would like me to prioritize in the scan?]
"His mental state, the stability of this shadow realm and the energy released when he arrives." Lex wasn't sure how the shadow realm worked but he was hoping that because of his captors extended time in 33.1 he hadn't had time to truly understand his ability. If Brainiac could find a flaw in how the shadow realm worked he could come up with a plan and escape.
[Understood, I will scan the energy released upon his arrival and the stability of this alternate dimension.]
Seeing his response Lex knew that he could only wait and hope that B2 would be able to gain enough information when they arrived.
