Billy Batson Gets Adopted AU, but the adopter he’s avidly avoiding is Lex Luthor.
When Lex first heard of Captain Marvel, he was… unenthused, to put it lightly. Another Kryptonian? It was bad enough when that second one, “Supergirl” had entered the superhero stage; Lex had few hopes for the appearance of a third. Superman even paid Fawcett a visit, and Lex’s grim worries were all but sealed. Except… he started hearing rumors. Different rumors, of the world’s “Mightiest Mortal”. Of a man, human and magic and power, who could stand up against Superman and maybe come out on top. A match. A defense. A man Lex most certainly wanted on his side.
Which turned out to be difficult, since Marvel was impossible to get ahold of. He was nowhere. Sure, he showed up to every disaster, every moment of peril and sign of distress, but he never stayed. He was there precisely long enough to get the job done, and not a second later. It was irritating. It was infuriating. It was giving Lex a migraine. Even Batman, you could occasionally catch at crime scenes or flag down on the rooftops of Gotham, not that Lex had ever tried—Gotham was a beast best avoided. But Marvel? Nothing. At least when he was battling his rogues gallery you could see him flying through the streets, but on his off time? It was like the man stopped existing. Lex Corp’s agents couldn’t find hide of hair of him. The man didn’t respond to public requests for contact, nor any of the more discreet methods Lex and employed. It was astounding. And Lex did not like astounding. He liked answers, and he liked aces in his pocket, and neither of those things would matter if he couldn’t get the Big Red Cheese to talk to him. So he sent Mercy to investigate. To either get Marvel on their side, or get the idiot to speak to them. Mercy marched into his office two weeks later with no contact point, no progress, and a video. a video of a man, a flash of lightning, and then a small, malnourished child.
“Ah,” Lex thought. “Ah.”
So. Captain Marvel was an orphaned, homeless ten year old with inexplicable powers and absolutely zero support system.
Lex was going to steal him.
Steal wasn’t quite the right word, since everything Lex was doing would be completely legal and above-board. Unorthodox, sure, but he had far more than enough money to make it happen in a way that even Big Blue couldn’t dispute. An application, some pressure and a few favors, and suddenly Lex Luthor was a registered foster parent. Now all he needed to do was find the child and ensure he ended up in his care
Billy doesn’t know what the hell is going on or why Lex Corp is suddenly flooding the streets of Fawcett, but he figures this is as good an excuse as any to punch a billionaire in the face
Que several thousand words of Kevin McAllister level evasion tactics, tomfuckery, stranger danger, weaponized baby face, (attempted) manipulation, a very confused and concerned League, telling Superman to fuck off for wildly different reasons, identity shenanigans, and the slow, begrudging mutual understanding and sort-of respect that Billy and Lex are furious is happening
(Luthor and Billy are locked in a battle of wills and guile while the League stands there like “is Luthor… trying to kidnap a child?? Marvel, are you doing anything about this?? We can help, this seems like a multiple hero situation—“ and Marvel is very nicely telling them to mind their own fucking business. They do not. Billy is mad at everyone except Cyborg, who let Billy know he was coming to Fawcett ahead of time)

"understanding" please!
Match knows who Lex Luthor is, obviously. 
He doesn't know why he's here, though. 
"If you don't give me your little side project right now, I'm going to burn you to the ground," Lex Luthor informs the directors pleasantly. Director Beta looks sour. They were married to each other at some point, Match is vaguely aware somewhere in his information uploads. Or might still be? Legally, anyway. 
He really doesn't know. 
Lex Luthor walked into this Agenda lab with just his chauffeur and a single apparent bodyguard who are both wearing miniskirts and high heels and minimally armed at best, but seems absolutely unconcerned about all the guns currently trained on him or the directors' dark expressions. Match expects to be told to kill him shortly, but no one's given any orders yet. 
"And why would we do that?" Director Beta asks dubiously. 
"Really, Erica," Lex Luthor says dryly. "Do you think I'm stupid, or are you just producing any random clone now without so much as glancing at their DNA?" 
"What?" Director Gamma frowns. "What does the project's DNA have to do with anything?" 
"Ironic question to get in a cloning lab," Lex Luthor observes still more dryly. "It's mine. I designed it. You're currently in possession of my intellectual property. So either hand it and all its files over, or I will, again, be burning you to the ground." 
Match has the odd thought that he isn't convinced Lex Luthor won't be burning the Agenda to the ground no matter what they give him. 
Though–he couldn't. Could he? Not even Lex Luthor. 
"Will you now," Director Beta says frostily, and Lex Luthor looks vaguely annoyed and fully exasperated. 
"Hope. Mercy," he says, adjusting the cuffs of his jacket and the knot of his tie. "Keep Project Match from getting himself killed, won't you?" 
"Yes, sir," the chauffeur replies with a smirk as the bodyguard dips her head in a silent nod. They don't seem remotely concerned that Lex Luthor just told them to go take on a half-alien metahuman clone. 
No one tells Match to do anything, so he waits. 
"This really didn't have to be difficult," Lex Luthor says with a put-upon sigh, and four point five seconds later the room is full of robot drones with glowing energy gun barrels and Match is pinned to the floor with the chauffeur and the bodyguard on top of him. They're strong. Stronger than him, he's pretty sure. And definitely better-trained than him too. He can't move his arms or legs or get any leverage, though obviously he could still use his TTK. 
But no one tells him to, so he just keeps waiting. 
"Spence!" Director Alpha shouts, and Director Beta snaps, "Lex–!", and then the shooting starts.
A lot of screaming and chaos happens, but Match still doesn't get given any orders. 
"This brat's concerningly agreeable, actually," the chauffeur muses. 
"Given his genetic profile? Yes," the bodyguard agrees dryly. 
Match could kill them, technically. He's much better with his TTK than his useless "genetic profile" is, and they're both stupid enough to be touching him right now. It wouldn't matter how strong they are if he triggered a stroke or heart attack, after all, and he knows exactly how to. 
But no one tells him to do anything, still, so he doesn't. 
The drones whir and buzz and keep firing. Spence screams. So does Director Gamma, and then a few different guards too. The whole room is all chaos and noise and irritatingly loud. Match wishes everyone would keep it down a little better. 
He doesn't like loud noises. 
He waits with his face pinned to the floor. He can feel most of what's happening in the room with his TTK anyway and hear the rest, so it's not like he actually needs to watch. 
A lot of things happen before the last body hits the floor, but still, no one tells him to do anything. 
And then everything is quiet again, finally, and Match doesn't have to deal with any more loud noises. 
"Anti-climatic, but effective enough," Lex Luthor observes like there wasn't just a screaming firefight in the room. Match feels him adjusting his cuffs again, though he's pretty sure they don't need it. Lex Luthor didn't actually do anything but stand there the whole time his drones were tearing through the guards and the directors were fleeing. Director Gamma didn't make it out; he's dead in his seat. So is Spence, on the floor. 
Match doesn't care about people dying or not, but Spence being dead is . . .
He didn't like Spence. 
Not that he likes anyone, but he didn't like Spence even more than that. 
Lex Luthor turns towards his chauffeur and bodyguard and, incidentally, Match. He tilts his head. 
"You know, I really assumed he'd be more trouble, all things considered," he says as he tucks his hands into his pockets, sounding mildly annoyed about it. Match doesn't understand why he would be. Whatever side project the man's here for, it's all his now. No one's left to stop him. 
Except Match, obviously. 
But no one told him to, so he doesn't. 
He does wonder why Lex Luthor picked him to leave alive for whatever presumable questioning he has in mind, though. A guard would've been less risky, and also easier to threaten. 
They'd care about being tortured or dying, for one thing. 
"Let him up," Lex Luthor says, and the chauffeur and bodyguard get off Match and let him go. He considers just staying on the floor, but the order is implicit, at least. 
And also he doesn't feel like dying on the floor, if he's going to die. He assumes Lex Luthor has questions, and then some sort of kryptonite. It's Lex Luthor, so of course he does.
Match should care about that, probably.

Hey I did a thing and remembered!
Okay, so, here we stand at the first Artificer subclass that I did. This one is all about becoming a cyborg.
Tumblr media
This was a fun one to build, and I absolutely had John Silver in mind while I wrote it, as well as some other cyborg/android inspirations, like Android 16 and Mercy Graves.
I also threw in a few Artificer infusions that I felt were fitting for the subclass.
As usual, the homebrewery link to this subclass can be found here and I welcome any feedback, especially if you play it!
Stay fresh, cheesebags!

Three vital things happening on this page from Superman (2023) #5:
Tumblr media
1. Mercy’s jetpack action outfit is indistinguishable from a Team Rocket Grunt in the Pokemon games, and I must know whether it was her or Lex who came up this.
2. Clark smashing the fancy gun like a beer can on a frat boy’s forehead, along with the unspoken, “I know you’re hiding guns that shoot Kryptonite bullets, Mercy :) I’m not an idiot :) This isn’t my first rodeo with Lex :)”
3. Lois filming on her phone, both for important journalistic reasons and also so she can LOL about it later and set it to music.
