The blast caught him full in the chest but he dove out of the way, chest still smoking and got behind her, getting her in a chokehold.
"Why do you think Luthor took such a personal interest in me?" he said in her ear. "Your president. The man who gives you your precious orders. The man you salute and practically lick the boots of. Do you really think he'd waste his time personally visiting someone who's nothing to him? How many times did he visit me in that dank little room and turn all the surveillance off?"
He tried to keep her heatvision directed away from the ground so that it didn't hit Mikey down there.
"Not only am I half human, you've been beating on a member of the first family this whole time."
All of them in the project practically worshipped Luthor. He wasn't ashamed of where his DNA came from anymore. She needed to know what it all was, what it had all really been for.
"Because the entire project? It's not to empower humanity. Lex doesn't actually care about anyone else. He told me his endgame. The entire project, the billions of tax dollars? It's not control a living weapon so the army can use it however they want. It's all to control me so that he can use me against Superman. To force Superman to kill me or to kill me in front of him. To break his heart. All of you were just pawns to help his obsessive little vendetta along."
