Chapter 178 - Medical Tests

Lillian soon arrives in her room inside the Leviathan base. It is the exact same room as before, and it looks just as pristine as she left it. Lillian even sees that her bags are already on the bed, with the Leviathan agent who put them there nowhere to be seen.

"Get settled here." The shadow woman says, "I'm sure Nyssa will be with you shortly."

Lillian nods her head at the shadow woman, and is then left alone in her room.

Once Lillian is alone, she spends the next few moments unpacking her bags, trying to get her nerves about meeting Nyssa under control. Admittedly, a part of Lillian is worried that maybe she is meeting Nyssa now because Leviathan has found out that she's betrayed them, and she is about to be brutally murdered by the Leviathan leader's sister. However, after thinking it through a little more, Lillian comes to the conclusion that it's unlikely that she has been brought back all the way to the Levithan base, which she is pretty sure is in a mountain range in Italy, just to be murdered. It would have been much easier for Leviathan to murder her, and dispose of her body, in South America, where there are a lot more remote areas and corrupt officials.

"Ah, I see you are unpacking." A voice suddenly says from behind Lillian.

Lillian jumps in fright and quickly turns around and sees that a woman dressed in mostly black, with some dark red here and there, is standing in the entrance to her room. The reason Lillian jumped was simply because she didn't hear the woman enter the room, and she knows from previous experience that her door isn't exactly silent when someone opens it. So, Lillian is very surprised to see this woman standing before her.

"Oh.... you.... you must be Nyssa." Lillian says, her heart still racing from being scared, and Lillian is pretty sure Nyssa meant to do that.

"I am." Nyssa replies, walking closer to Lillian, "It's..... interesting..... to finally meet you in person."

Lillian knows in more normal circumstances in this situation a hand shake would be offered, but she already knows Leviathan doesn't do things like that, so she doesn't even move her hand to make an attempt to offer Nyssa to shake her hand.

"Yes." Lillian nods, regaining more of her composure now, "I... honestly didn't even know Talia had a sister."

"Most people don't." Nyssa replies, not showing any form of emotion on her face.

As Nyssa walks closer to Lillian, the Luthor matriarch finally gets a good clear look at Nyssa, and she sees that the woman has dark hair, just like Talia, a rather clear complexion, and dark brown eyes. As for an age, Nyssa doesn't look more than 30 years old. From this information, usually people would come to the conclusion that Talia and Nyssa cannot be sisters, as Talia looks around 60, or older, while Nyssa looks at least 30 years younger. However, Lillian very much doubts that the ages that the two sisters look actually reflect their true ages. Lillian suspects they are much much older than they seem. Lillian just isn't sure if it's because they are alien, or due to something else entirely.

"I see." Lillian replies, with a nod of her head, "Well.... I guess I should feel privileged to have that knowledge."

After Lillian says this, Nyssa grows a smirk on her face for the first time, but it's not a friendly smirk. As Lillian looks at Nyssa's smirk, she can't help but be terrified by it, even after all her years of being a Luthor and controlling her emotions.

"You should be fearful, nothing else." Nyssa says, in a cool voice, "Usually if someone learns of my existence, and I meet them, they don't live much longer."

"So, you are here to kill me?" Lillian asks.

Nyssa now grows another smirk on her face, but this one is a bit more friendly.

"No. Why would I be? You haven't done anything to betray Leviathan, have you?" Nyssa asks, now beginning to circle Lillian, not taking her eyes off her.

"No. But I'm aware that Talia doesn't trust me, which I completely understand." Lillian says.

Nyssa grows another amused smirk on her face after Lillian says this.

"Well, aren't you knowledgeable." Nyssa says, and then approaches Lillian's face, "And a rather cute little thing."

Lillian is very surprised by this, because it seems like Nyssa is flirting with her, but she is pretty confident this is just a tactic the Leviathan agent is using to put her off balance.

"But that is besides the point of why I'm here." Talia continues.

"Then, why are you here?" Lillian asks.

"To inform you..... that Leviathan cannot afford for there to be any weaknesses, from anyone, even you. So, Talia has assigned me to train you in some basic combat skills, starting tomorrow." Nyssa says.

"Why?" Lillian asks, "I'm not fighting on the front lines with Leviathan. I don't have a death wish."

Nyssa chuckles.

"No. You are not." Nyssa says, "But it wouldn't do you any harm to actually learn some combat skills, in case certain situations arise that you'll need them."

Lillian sighs.

"Fine." Lillian says.

"Perfect." Nyssa replies, "We will begin your training at 5AM sharp tomorrow morning."

"Very well." Lillian replies.

"I will see you then." Nyssa says.

Nyssa then makes her way out of the room Lillian is in, and walks down several corridors, knowing the base like the back of her hand. Eventually, Nyssa arrives in a room where Talia is sitting in a comfy looking chair, going over some files on a laptop.

"Well?" Talia asks.

"It's done." Nyssa says, "We will begin our 'training' tomorrow morning."

"Good." Talia smirks.

"I still don't see why this is necessary. Why are we keeping Lillian Luthor alive? Why not just kill her and be done with it?" Nyssa asks.

"Because killing Lillian Luthor would do nothing for us right now." Talia explains, "Our single biggest threat right now is Supergirl, and Lena Luthor. Lillian Luthor's time will come, but when it is of best strategic interest to us."

"And I'm training her because?" Nyssa asks.

"Because I wish to know how capable she actually is. You may look at Lillian Luthor and think very little of her, but that is a mistake. She is an incredibly clever woman. Do NOT underestimate her. She has already managed to slip things by our agents, agents you have trained. So, it is best to know how capable she is in a fight, when her time does come." Talia explains.

"Very well." Nyssa replies, "But what of the scientists? Have they managed to adapt the 'kryptonite' Lillian made for us, for our purposes?"

"They have. They achieved that months ago." Talia explains.

"Months ago? Then why am I only hearing about it now?" Nyssa asks, in an annoyed tone.

"Because I am the leader of Leviathan, dear sister. And you have been off and about insuring our interests across the globe. How was I to contact you to tell you such sensitive information?" Talia smirks.
