Drinking Tea Down the Rabbit Hole
So, the story of Lois sitting in her hole?
Brenda Muldoon was working in her office,
Or maybe not.
but who also hated everything about women, except what he could take from them.
So, he likes their sanity, their husbands, their children?
He used his charm to become intimate with women, and once they fell for him he used that obsession to control them.
Then why is she boinking him?
BETSY: Why wouldn’t she?
Brenda had noticed this about Lex the first night that they met five years before.

Sally, a woman Brenda had met and admired at a previous hospital function, had bragged about Luthor’s interest in her.
Brenda had asked if she had drunk too much. In actuality, she had really been worried that the woman had taken some of the drugs she pushed.
Brandy is circulating in some strange circles. Or is Sally a drug company sales rep?
‘No,’ replied Sally, before begging Brenda for some medical advice – as a gynecologist – on the best way to ensnare him.
In terms of how to get rid of her crabs?
He had recently told her that he loved her, and she now was ready to rocket their relationship forward.
Oh, on how to prevent getting crabs?
Dollar signs shining in her eyes, Sally had insisted that Brenda tell her the best way for him to get her pregnant.
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/e010.gif)
Does this…qualify her for an opportunistic golddigger and borderline sex-for-money contractor?
If they did happen to get a woman pregnant, they threw money at the problem until she went away.
Wouldn’t it be more cost efficient to hire a death contractor from one of the former Eastern Block nations?
the man had essentially taken what had once been a driven and successful businesswoman and turned her into a whore.
LEX: Everyone needs a hobby?
If Sally had been serious about catching this prize fish, she shouldn’t have opened her legs to him in the first place. Men desired more that which they could not have.
LOIS:
Good riddance, Brenda had thought, knowing Sally wouldn’t be the last person to come to her for free advice.
She’s quite…anti-social?
Oh, sure, there were the occasional exception to the rule, but by and large, men were scum.
So, had some failed relationships in highschool and college? Maybe a highschool teacher who wouldn’t give her an A afterwards?
Men got sex that made all other varieties pale in comparison, and Brenda regulated the when, the where, and the how.
She sounds like a very special kind of call-girl.
She had long since discovered that if she dressed in leather and snapped a whip, men frankly didn’t care what she did to them or had them do.
/scratches head/ You don’t mean…Nah…couldn’t be…
BATMAN:

Two days after the cocktail party, LexCorp bought out her acquaintance’s pharmaceutical company and Sally had been fired.
So, he…Sally, she didn’t…
By the end of the week, Brenda heard through the hospital grapevine that Sally had swallowed too many pills and never woke up.
Maybe it was cleanup?
It wasn’t a surprising twist, after Sally had realized that Mr. Luthor was only using her to gain privileged information about the company where she worked.
Oh. Does that mean Lex traded sex for money? Doesn’t that make him a joyboy? What if the company’s executives are all comprised of men?
LEX: I contract that one out to my personal assistant.
After that, it had become a game for Brenda to guess at each party she attended whom Lex Luthor was going to bed.
Okay? That doesn’t sound healthy.
She had made many a pretty, silver nickel with her bets by buying and selling stocks at just the right time.
She’s quite the conniving little bitca?
She had never coveted what her sister Claire had – a mortgage in the suburbs, motherhood, and a couple of sniveling leeches.
So, she not into the whole 2.5 kids and a picket fence scene?
It was also one of the reasons she had expunged from her medical records the fact that she was barren.
Oh.
If Luthor ever came to her, Brenda would let him know from their first interaction who really was in charge.
Nigel?
True, those were activities polite society usually publicly frowned upon while acting upon them in private, but the men who knew about her charms weren’t likely to talk, as doing so would put them out of her favor.
Plus, divorces are costly?
Bending a man such as Luthor to her will was a challenge that caused Brenda to salivate.
Awww…she’s such a fine match for Lex. Much better than that harlot reporter he tried to ensnare.
Clearly, Nightfall had been even too much for the Man of Steel to handle.
No, actually, Lois was…
controlling everyone underneath her by pulling the strings of the king.
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/e055.gif)
LEX: No one *ever*! That’s not… *string*?
Brenda didn’t need such a drug to make a man addicted to sex with her.
The drug was never meant to keep them interested in sex *after* they had sex for the first time.
LOIS: Doesn’t work to get them to have sex in the first time, either, so it’s useless.
in case she herself needed to give birth as queen of New Earth, as the name had been changed to.
Would they use ‘king’ and ‘queen’ in an electoral form of government? And how often would they hold votes? Every four years as was common top-side? Or would they go with a more Athenean model with all the able-bodied free men allowed to take part in the discussion and voting on issues of public concern.
LEX: Yes, we’d use the Athenean model, where all the free men are allowed a vote.
He had done whatever she requested to prove to her that he was a worthy alpha male, as she knew he would. As if he could convince her of that; however, it had been fun knocking about his ego so.
She doesn’t sound entirely stable.
Brenda had to admit that she found a kind of freedom to not caring for a jerk she made crawl naked across the floor or beg for mercy when she had him tied down.
He *agreed* to that?
Suddenly, the strong man who had fought against every one of her demands disappeared and was replaced by a docile, nervous, and modest man.
LEX:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/a050.gif)
Controlling such a man took another set of skills.
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/verschiedene/f030.gif)
?
When Lex’s eyes began to mist up when she told him that she didn’t sleep, let alone cuddle with patients, she should have known she was in trouble.
Aaaawww her maternal instinct got spiked.
She volunteered to send him one of the women she had chosen for him to impregnate, despite the fact that sex after surgery wasn’t recommended.
She does sound like the Sultan Mother.
She couldn’t recall the last time a man had wanted her in that way; maybe it was because he was the first.
I wonder if that might not be that after her father and his brother had abused her, she went to sex as her go-to interaction with men?
When he finally placed his hesitant lips to hers for the first time after being shot, her heart was already his.
Awwwww…she’s into frogs
He even came up with a ridiculous nickname to call her.
Which would be…Brandy?
The only problem with either of these theories was that St. John was the man pushing the wheelchair.
They don’t have much security downstairs, do they?
NIGEL CoS: Why do you think I’m back?
removed a large set of keys, and started to unlock the door.
All locks are functional?
LEX: The better to keep Lois from picking all the locks.
This person had also received medical services Topside, so the entire civilization wasn’t gone, as Luthor had said it was.
Maybe the apes had learned to dress wounds by now?
“And what are we going to tell them? That Mr. Luthor’s fiancée was rescued from the no longer existent Topside?”
Well…it would explain her injuries?
but Brenda’s knees had already buckled at the word “fiancée” and she had slid down the wall out of sight.
Aaaawww…now with love comes jealousy.
Who would want to marry that insane man?
ARI:
However, his money meant nothing now, just pieces of paper to burn.
Yes, but he got a lot of it. And in the cold nights of the nuclear winter, warmth can be a very valuable commodity.
but that was before she had learned about his multiple personalities.
And you never know what a good lawyer could do when you got married to only one of the personalities.
Such as the time he backhanded her across the mouth when she complained about him closing the Luckies’ sex room, but later, he cowered in fear when she brought out her whip to teach him a lesson.
So, Lex came back for a visit? And then Brandy went all Daenerys on him?
‘Lexy’ was a strange thing for Asabi to call his boss, especially since it was the same romantic nickname that Lex had asked Brenda to call him in private.
Maybe Lexy and Asabi have a more than professional relationship?
“Don’t, and you’ll receive the same exit plan as Devlin and the others.”
What kind of ‘exit plan’ was that?
![[Linked Image]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/28/Bob_Dylan_-_Knockin_on_Heavens_Door.jpg)
On the other hand, maybe St. John had meant that Lex Luthor planned to kill the entire Luthor Underground Community.
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/verschiedene/c050.gif)
Why would Luthor kill all one hundred and eighty-nine of them?
For fun? Maybe a re-enactment of Doom or another first-person shooter computer game?
and preselected disease-free people too.
Then why bring in people with mental diseases?
She knew enough about how elevators functioned to know that they needed pulleys and other electrical equipment, wenches, engines, motors, steel cables, all of which should have been knocked out by Nightfall’s impact, or so they had all thought.
Maybe the elevator only goes into a hardened bunker 50 meters below the surface. Or maybe a tunnel 300 meters below the surface before coming up topside in the mountains to the northeast of Metropolis?
St. John, Asabi, and Luthor would have to permanently go.
I’m not sure this action would be legal. Besides, if they are caught, their actions would be akin to a coup d'etat and treason and might have them put in front of a firing squad.
For the first several weeks, she had fed Lexy hints that he should punish St. John for not protecting him and letting Devlin shoot him, as well as to Asabi for treating him as a child.
Sounds like she’s dealing with him like he’s got the mental and social capabilities of a child.
It explained why they looked so much alike and why Lexy was twice as enthusiastic in bed.
LEX: Leeeeeech! Did you put bunny-DNA into the mix?
Of course, since Luthor was Lexy’s father it would make it more difficult to convince him that the old Luthor needed to go.
Not really, no. They already have quit the Oedipal situation going on there…
Lexy had responded that Lois Lane was an absolute angel of a woman, and that he was sure his father would leave Lexy and everyone else in the L.U.C. alone afterwards, because he’d be too busy with his new wife.
Awww…he still got his first crush and thinks all men are controlled only by the strings their love interests pull.
Scrolling through the video archives, Brenda soon realized that the woman had employed the knees-together form of enticement.
Yes, Lois is a very smart woman when it comes to ensnaring wealthy and powerful men. Also explains why she hasn’t yet been able to ensnare the First Lord of Krypton, what with her being all wanton and stuff towards him.
He took a woman’s ‘no’ as a challenge.
A man’s, too.
SUPERMAN:
Step one of their joint plan became to convince Luthor that Lexy had fallen in love with his father’s fiancée. This had been all Lexy’s idea, which he implemented without consulting her.
Awww…Lexy also likes to boink a Lois.
If nothing else proved to Brenda that she was indeed the brains of their operation, this move had. She had thought at the time, Lexy would be lucky if he made it out of the ark alive.
Because Lexy would diddle in his father’s place?
But he had. The morning of Luthor’s wedding, the groom had unexpectedly arrived and whisked Lexy Topside.
Oh, right. He made it out alive, but that was it.
A small group of men in flak jackets had knocked over the palm plant blocking the secret elevator.

There they are. And all still alive and well…
