She knew that hate was such a strong word. But she absolutely hated him. She couldn’t comprehend how the Justice League allowed for him to become a member. However, according to Kal-El, Alexander Luthor had turned over a new leaf.

She understood that he played a huge part in taking down the Crime Syndicate yet Tabitha had a deep feeling that something wasn’t right about it. The Lex Luthor she knew always had ulterior motives for every single thing he did. She wasn’t buying the sudden change of heart he was experiencing.

It made her grumble in her head constantly but she was a bit glad for the “alone time” with him. The two were patrolling the city of Metropolis and was keeping watch from the top of The Daily Planet.

“You haven’t said a sentence to me since I’ve been back…” Luthor brought it up casually. His voice made her hands turn into fists; she turned and glared at him.

“What made you think I’d have anything to say to you after all you’ve done to me?!” she nearly growled. He could only stare at her, swallowing hard. He knew all too well what she was capable of. At least, he had witnessed it. She had come dangerously close to ending his life in a blink of an eye… twice but the lightning woman always backed out.

Someone was present both times and while that gave him a bit of comfort, it wasn’t much. Tabitha Lyght was a live wire; he was pretty certain that she was capable of fighting the Justice League in its entirety by herself. Now that they were alone, he was definitely frightened.

“Tabitha…”

“Save it! I’ve waited so long to say this to you. To hell with you, Luthor! I’ve never liked you… ever! I hate the air that you fucking breathe! The only reason why I’m even here with you was because I was ordered to be! But mark my words: if you double cross any of us… I will end you. The only thing that will save you would be if…” she suddenly smirked, “Not even J’onn could save you. He’d have to kill me to stop me and we all know he ain’t gonna do that! Nothing you do will ever make me forgive you or even like you!”

“… N-Not even an apology…?”

“… What?”

“An apology. For all the pain I caused you.” he kept eye contact with her. Luthor knew that if he showed any weakness, she would hurt him. He wasn’t prepared for what happened next. She gave out a quick gasp as a tear fell from her eye. However, the life started to slowly leave her brown eyes as she narrowed them. Lightning formed around her hands and before he could take a breath, she pushed her hands out.

Luthor had braced himself to feel some sort of shock. But then he was quickly reminded that she had acquired another power. He felt his metal warsuit tighten on his body. When he tried to release himself, he found that he couldn’t move; she had him trapped using her electromagnetism.

“Shut up! You don’t care! You never did! You’re just saying that to save your own ass! What’s stopping me from crushing you right now?!” more tears streaked down her face. Another slight tighten made him gasp for air, “The only thing you care about is yourself! Maybe if I kill you right now, it’ll save all the trouble later!!”

“Tabitha, stop!!”

Never in his life did he think he would be glad to see the Martian…
