He had to wonder if this was how Luthor felt when an operation went off without a hitch. And not only went off without a hitch, but it seemed like things were going to succeed for him. Conner couldn't help the smile as he stared down at the city of Metropolis. And while he was glad for it, he also couldn't stop the small pang of regret in his chest at having betrayed everything he had once believed in and fought for. But he wasn't the naive boy he had been when he first took over the company.
With the success that had come with Miranda's time as CFO (she had since moved on), others who had wanted LexCorp for their own scrambled to get Conner out of the way. When doing it legally hadn't worked, they had tried to do away with him. But Conner had survived it all. But it had been the last attempt that had changed him. A few kids had been killed in the attack meant to kill him. Conner had held them in his arms as the life faded from his eyes. It had made him realize that the only way to keep everyone safe was to become powerful. And while he had power as being a clone of Superman, he knew he needed power that just didn't come from his alien DNA. He needed the power that came from money. Which meant following more in Luthor's footsteps than Clark's but it couldn't be helped.
Conner turned from the window and moved over to his desk and sat down, grabbing the tablet before him and bringin up the details of the latest weapon shipment he had agreed to. The money was already in his own account. Now it was just a matter of the weapons getting to the buyer. He was confident they would though. He was not going to be denied his power.
