[enter Lex Luthor from DC Universe]
Lex Luthor stood, looking out the window, silently plotting how to get revenge on Superman, and Supergirl. X had teleported him back a moment ago, but Luthor wasn't sure if that meant that the being was finished with him or not. If he wasn't, Lex would find out soon enough. He had his kryptonite ring, locked away in a small lead case inside a drawer of his desk; he had learned from his mistake of wearing it all the time, so he kept it nearby instead of constantly on his person. His battlesuit was stored in a similar case, much larger, hidden behind a bookcase in his office. His battlesuit had never caused him the radiation poisoning that the ring had, but he wasn't taking any chances of developing that terminal cancer again. That was part of his genius; he always learned from past mistakes. He knew that the two were out there. If he needed to make another Metallo, so be it. Another Bizarro, or Blockbuster, so be it. He had rebuilt his company using funds he had 'reallocated' from his time as President, tax payer money that he had hidden for 'protection'. Now, soon, he would strike. And this time it would be different. This time, a reckoning was truly take place. This time, he would win.

{Enter Supergirl from Latveria}
Suddenly, and without any sort of warning, Lex was slammed painfully against the wall, an immensely strong hand pressing back on his windpipe. The owner of the hand regarded him with frosty blue eyes, her expression remote. "Hello, Lex."

((Enter Doomsday by Eastern Bloc Outpost.))
"It's her...She's attacking Luthor...Defend him at all costs...Wait for a moment...If you act too slow she could kill him...It's up to him to weaken her before we can step in...Or we might loose him..."
Doomsday listened to his communicator as the Commissar gave him directions on how to act towards the situation. Doomsday wasn't so stupid that he was just going to charge in there; even if he teleported, Supergirl was also quite fast and judging from past events, she probably already heard him using the stairs on his way up to Lex's office. Unit o78 was behind Doomsday, disguised as Doctor Doom and he was going to go in first; Doomsday was being kept docile due to some new tech the Scarecrow had created. Using a mixture of toxins being pumped into Doomsday by a small machine hidden under his top back plate, Doomsday was rendered unable to sense Kryptonians, meaning he couldn’t go into a berserk rage when in the same area as one and making him an effective minion. Doomsday didn't mind; he still had hatred for Kryptonians but now he could focus on why.
Opening the door to Lex's office slowly, Unit 078 entered and closed the door behind him, trying to not make any sudden movement as he spoke, trying to calm Supergirl down. Dr. Doom had reported Supergirl’s trajectory back in Latveria, since he was too late to meet her himself and try to make her a pawn in his plans. Symbiotes confused emotions and whatever that thing was, it probably did the same. This whole situation could reflect the Dark Phoenix mishap and like Magneto, Doom could convince this powerful being to join him despite her immersive abilities.
"Supergirl, you don't want to take out your anger on Luthor...He isn't the one causing your distress...Scapegoats aren't the answer..."
Unit 078 didn't know how Dr. Doom would react to this situation, but he did his best to imitate him to the farthest reaches of his artificial intelligence. Luthor would be a valuable ally and having Supergirl kill him would be such a waste; if his brain survived, maybe they could do the same treatment they had on the Commissar, but their species were totally different and clones never work out.

Lex's expression was a strange mixure of pride and hatred, something that could only be accomplished by being around a Kryptonian. Through strained breath, he managed, "Supergirl... Are you going to beat... me half to death... already?... I haven't done... anything to you... or Superman... since my return..." Luthor regarded the arrival of this new robot with confusion; it wasn't one of his, and his face showed it.

With the kind of annoyance most people would exhibit while squashing a fly, Kara briefly turned her head and unleashed her heat vision on the robot, leaving it as little more than a puddle of metallic goo. Turning back to the man she had pinned against the wall, she spoke again. "No. Not this time. No robots, no talking your way out of it, no city in peril, and no Superman to save you with his moral posturing. Goodbye, Lex." The centers of her pupils glowed ominously red.

Lex's face immediately read victory, a victory that he'd been waiting for for ages. "So... a Kryptonian... finally shows their... true colors... Just be careful... You never know who's... watching..." Lifiing his arm up slightly, he pointed at a small surveillance camera posted in the ceiling in the corner of the office. "It sends to... various recording stations... in the country... You kill me... Or if you destroy it... after what you said... you and Superman... will be hunted... by the very... country you sought... to protect..." Another gimmick paid for by 'appropriated' tax dollars, but tax dollars well spent.

"Damn...Unit 078 was my favorite...Kill her...I don't care what Victor says; she is too chaotic to become a pawn."
Doomsday nodded in agreement, wanting this more than anything else other then the second death of Superman. Shifting to the inside in a mere second, Doomsday appeared in the air right beside Supergirl, giving his all into a right hook punch towards the side of her face. Even with that Blood on her, not even Darkseid could withstand Doomsday's strength and no parasite was going to make any difference. The death of Superman was worldwide news, but that never lasted with his return; this time, he was going to make sure this Kryptonian died for good. Doomsday cared nothing about the Commissar’s robot and was glad it was gone; it wouldn’t hold him back. What Luthor had said would make Doomsday look like a hero to the people of Earth, people he harmed so many times in his rage, now he could make amends and be a person to be worshipped, not feared.

Lex dropped, his mind already coming up with ways to turn this to his advantage. He stood up, brushed himself off, and said, "Doomsday, if you can understand this, stop." Even Doomsday HAD to have some kind of rudimantary intelligence capable of understanding him, but Lex believed that he was smarter than most people thought.

Supergirl appeared completely unharmed. In fact, she was smiling. It was not a particularly pleasant expression. "You wanna play, Doomsday? Fiiiine by us." Again, she did not even begin to notice the pronoun switch. "But don't expect it to end up like last time. And we will be back for you, Luthor," she added, turning to look at him. "Make no mistake about that." Returning her attention to Doomsday, she tackled him, punching him back through the wall and into open air. If she was at least twice as powerful in the suit as she was naturally... Oh, yes. This was going to be fun.

Lex sighed; he needed to do something. He knew that Doomsday had the potential to destroy the world, this world that he wished to have control over, while the worst that Supergirl would normally do would be throw him in jail. Not much of a choice. He walked up to his bookcase, feeling slightly disgusted with himself. He was about to help Supergirl. He took out a particular book halfway, and it slid open, revealing his battlesuit. He put on the suit, and took off, flying out into the open air. He spotted Doomsday, and aimed an arm at him. As much as he'd like to see him rip Supergirl limb from limb, Doomsday had endangered Lex with his assault. Luthor pressed a button, and a small explosive rocket with a small Kryptonite warhead launched, locked onto Doomsday with a self-automated tracking system. He needed Supergirl alive to fend Doomsday off, so just to be on the safe side... "Supergirl, take cover! That's got a Kryptonite warhead!"

Kara's eyes widened as her she spun to stare at him, then narrowed with deep suspicion. The next second, she was nowhere to be seen.

What?!? She is stronger than Darkseid...This can't be! It must be…Me…No, it's the damn suit...
Doomsday couldn’t figure it out; how strong was that infernal parasite on her? It couldn’t have been him being the weak one; before, Supergirl was easily knocked out with one punch from Doomsday, but she barely flinched with that attack. Doomsday could only assume the machine hidden in his body was making him weaker by not allowing his rage to build and kept him docile. Worse yet, Lex was turning against him and that meant his mission was over; hostile allies weren't made for recruiting. Doomsday didn't need to be here anymore, so, he stared down the warhead as he tapped his communicator.
"Lex is hostile, Commy; requesting retreat."
Doomsday just smiled as he waved by to Lex, knowing that he was going to get ripped apart now or at least brutally beaten by Supergirl without him. Despite their common hatred, their alliances was what seemed to separate them. Vandal Savage would easily replace his spot in the organization, though the Commissar would predictably give Lex a second chance, but only after things had settled down. In a flash of red light, just as the projectile closed in on him, Doomsday was gone of sight and out of Metropolis. The Commissar was wasting time with fools and would rather let Lex get killed then risk a more valuable pawn and Doomsday knew this as well as took advantage of it.
((Exit Doomsday to Eastern Bloc Headquarters.))

A split second after Doomsday disappeared, Kara had Lex pinned against the wall again. "Thanks for that," she said pleasantly, "Now where were we?"
