"Kori, I'll handle this" Clark said calmly, weaving through Saturn Girl, Captain Thunder, The Demon and Blue Skies.
"Your name is Lung right? You can switch sides but know that you'll be a tin tyrant of nothing. If you do switch sides, we will strike you down with the force of righteousness. If you fight with us, you can live to fight in your reality another day. That's the deal, now take it or leave it because we don't have time for petty power moves" Clark told him, arms folded in front of Lung.
Kori's outburst fell on deaf ears. It was Superman who grabbed his attention, making him lower his hand and turn from Roy to meet this newcomer's eyes head-on. He could tell that this one was strong, strong like Alexandria. In prison, you learn to do a good once-over, and Lung didn't miss Clark's showing just then. Flight, strength, and some form of electricity-based emotion control?
It was too early. If he was going to take this group on here and now, he would lose. It would be the same if he wanted to kill this Anti-Monitor. The trick will be to orchestrate things so he doesn't die before he gets strong enough to do either, whatever choice he makes.

"Done."
Lung broke eye contact first with Superman, and moved only his eyes to the Suit. A Tinker? He'll be good for it, Tinkers need money to fund their inventions.
"I'll kill you if you lie."
That being settled, he relaxed his shoulders and gave a curt nod to Clark. Contemporaries for now. He ignored Roy Lincoln's jab at his priorities, and opted for a more open space.
I'll fight, he thought.
And with that, his power began stirring into effect. The scales began growing, slowly but surely, bristling like a sea urchin’s spines as they arranged themselves. The very anticipation of the fight was serving to fuel his abilities. When he changed, it would be rapid, accelerated by the sheer threat his opponent posed, though he fights lackeys for now.
The air around him rippled in heat as his body continued to grow and transform, and then a loud yell rang out from from behind him!
"GUESS WHO? IT IS ME COME TO SMASH YOU ALL AGAIN WITH MY MAHSL-"
A claw found this golem's face! It screamed as it melted under Lung's grasp, uselessly punching and grabbing, and then its efforts slowly subsiding.
Yes, he thought, everyone's watching.
A stone hand burst from the wall to grab him, dwarfing him despite his new size, but he burst through it in a splash of molten slag, slashing and tearing at its connection to the wall. He continued to grow and change, small spear-like growths stuck out of his shoulders, the beginnings of wings.
"What is the plan?" His voice would eventually be too altered, he should communicate essentials while he is still understandable.
