The biping of the machine was the first thing that he became aware of as he slowly regain consciences. He looked around only to find he could only see from one eye, he notice he was in a hospital. 

"Damn, must have really ran into that car hard." He could vaguely recall the accident.

His head was still dizzy, but he could still find some small bits and pieces of the incident. He remember the heart pains he was having as his foot slam down on the gas petal and lock in place as he rammed into the car infront. The first responder must of brought him to the hospital, he looked around not seeing any signed of his familly coming to check on him.

"Well, not like I can be angry, ive not exactly been easy to approach al, these years. Especially since Marie wanted a divorce, not that I really was appose to it, with the kids all grown up. We just, couldn't find are way back to each other." He tried to shake his head as a dool pain shot up his spine. He wince at the pain, he tried to recall anymore, but instead he found some weird dream of him in another car that was blow up by a missile.

The door of the room open and a doctor came in. He look over and smiled when he notice him awake.

"Sir, I happy to see you finally awake." He said with a smile on his face he grap the charts and started to note some thing on it.

"Finally awake? Wait, how long was I out?"

"Well you've been out for a week. You have alot of healing to do, broken legs, arm, ribs and lets not forget damage organ, it a small miracle your alive at all. You should really thank superman for bringing you here in time."

"Wait, What now? Oh I see, your joking. Right superman, nice one doc." 

"Mr Luther, Im not kidding you really should change your view on him. He's put up with your crap for years, maybe it time you burried the hachet."

"What did you just say?" 

"Are you ok Mr luther?" 

It was right after that a new flood of memory came crashing down, he was seeing himself as a child, in an abusive home and then him plotting and carring out the very murder of his parents. Foster parents doing everything in their power to get to his money, finally killing their own daughter, causes she refuse to help in their plot. Years go by as he became a heartless rich tycoon, convince he can get anyone with money, he believe himself above all so he is surprise when one of his laboratory malfunction while he's on a visit. Only to be barely save by superman, but in the process he gets splash with chemicals and looses his hair he then blames superman for his lost. 

More memory surface as his body is shaking in pain and he cries out. It feels like some other personality is trying to overwhelm him into submission. Turning him into a mean vindictive man who blames anyone but himself for any short coming, unwilling to see past his envy and jealousy toward superman, an alien from outher space that seem more human then he could ever be. The second personality is trying to take back control, but Brian is not letting go, he's barely come to understand what is going on. He just know one thing by instinct if he let the other win he will die. So he fight with everything he has to win control, but he's not strong enough.

So he changes track instead of pushing the other him away, he bind it to him making the other part piece by piece apart of him. He swallows every part even the dark bit, the fears the self denials. As he consume the other, no as he consume himself. The old part the flawed part of himself grown weaker as more piece fall to him, the battle last for what seem for years but its only really a few minute since he started to go into this seizer. 

The doctor at this point has already called for help, and is trying to figure out what has gone wrong, he check the vitals. Every machine is going wild it like the body is suddenly figthing for his life. But as far as he sees their no visible wounds anywhere, in all his years he has never seen anything like this. The nurse and other doctor rush in the room, they all panic when no one has a clear answer for what is going on, the best idea they have is to give him some sedative.

As the needle goes in and the sedative starts working, inside the battle has ended the new single soul cries out in victory, it has won. But its no longer sure who it is, is it Lex or Brian but it seem it will come to an answer later as sleep claims it into darkness.
