"Beautiful, isn't it, Asabi?" Lex Luthor asked, turning to his faithful man-servant.
Okay?
He put his back to the large window in his office that afforded him a stunning view of the bustling city of Metropolis.
Ah yes.
"One simple firework," Lex replied, smiling at the brightly colored paper of the tube.
Huh.
Lex smiled, an evil light in his eyes. "Very good, Asabi. No, it's not. It's not ordinary at all."
Oh dear. It’s filled with Kryptonite.
Make sure it's mixed in with those to be shot off during the grand finale."

Edit:
Yes, Luthor really is a necessary evil. But that's okay, because life for Superman without villains would be boring and make for very short fics indeed!
