"Mr. President, we got Luthor!"
Amanda had just pushed open the door and had not even finished speaking before the rest of her sentence turned into a cry of alarm.
Luthor was sitting in the president's chair, while Brainiac floated behind him. Cheetah sat at the desk like a female secretary from a third-rate movie, filing her nails while flaunting her figure.
Grodd and Sinestro blocked Amanda's retreat, completely surrounding her.
Amanda displayed a patriot's fearlessness as she demanded righteously, "Luthor, what are you trying to do?!"
"You know, Amanda, thanks to the loopholes in ARGUS's intelligence system, I was able to come up with my current plan. But I also know that some intelligence isn't stored in any medium. It exists in only one place."
Amanda understood what he meant, but she only had time to cry out, "No!!!"
Then Brainiac's mechanical tentacles seized her. Two tubes like washing machine drain hoses pierced her skull.
Luthor looked at Amanda, who had fallen to the floor, and rested his chin on his interlocked hands atop the desk. "Well?"
"The locations where all the most dangerous criminals on Earth are imprisoned or hiding have been acquired." Brainiac withdrew his tentacles, sparks flying as they scraped against the skull. "However, this is not a human. It is a primitive machine."
Luthor smiled. He stood, removed his armor, and revealed the suit beneath. "Amanda didn't reach her position by being an idiot. She must have sensed something. This is an OMAC Robot, a decoy specially modified by ARGUS."
These robots came from the Future. No one knew who had invented them, but they had come to this era to hunt and kill Superheroes.
They looked much like ordinary people. They would create dangerous situations for themselves, call for help, and wait for Heroes
