Superman's previously-mentioned doubt completely washed away as he heard Finitevus' apology. This was exactly what he wanted to hear and he was glad to hear it.
Superman: You don't know how happy I am to hear that, Doctor. Apology accepted, and I'll accept that dinner offer.
Character: Lex Luthor
Lex Luthor had just finished fixing up the dinner table for Superman and Finitevus. He was just about to go back into hiding since his master [Finitevus] had previously told him not to disturb him and Superman but then he forgot what Finitevus wanted for a beverage. Crossing his fingers that Superman hadn't arrived yet, Lex walked in on Superman and Finitevus' conversation.
Lex: Forgive me, Master Finitevus. I've forgotten what beverage you wanted. Can you-
Lex was about to ask his question until he saw the Man of Steel next to Finitevus.
Lex: I-I'm terribly sorry, Doctor. I h-had no idea h-he was here!
Superman stared in awe at his arch-nemesis, Lex Luthor, standing in front of the two of them in an apron. Beaten and bruised. Superman turned toward Finitevus and asked him what had been ringing in his head since Lex first appeared in the lair.
Superman: Is that who I think it is?

Dr. Finitevus[blushing]: Well, if you must insist, I tried to recruit him, but he refused. I almost killed him when the unthinkable happened. His memory was wiped during the 345th or was it the 435th, I forget.... anyway, Luthor's memory was wiped during a torture session. He looked up to me like I was a god, sent in to save him. Even though Luthor didn't even remember his own name, he insisted on serving me as a way of repayment for saving him,
Superman turned to look at the pitiful sight. Luthor was beaten, and bruised. He could tell Finitevus was telling the truth about the memory-wipe (even if he was sure the mind-wipe was intentional) but he could tell Lex was forced into being Finitevus' servant.
Superman: Lex Luthor was a bad man. But he didn't deserve this. I'm taking him back with me, sir. And you can't stop me.

Morpheus: Actually, Batman, I've been meaning to talk to you about this: I really don't think you should go in like that. Vampires don't really appreciate it when people remind them of their bat powers. Trust me, I learned the hard way....
Superman grabbed a warp ring and warped him and Lex back to the ship.
Not wanting to keep everyone in the dark about Lex, Superman approached Morpheus.
Superman: We're ready to leave as well. By the way, this is Lex Luthor. You may know him as my arch-nemesis but, for now, he's on our side. He had his memory wiped so now he's not much of a threat.
Lex: Please, Morpheus. Superman told me who I was on the way and I want to reform. I can help with cooking if you need a cook!

Morpheus: Hey, chill out. I'm not interested in slaves, yet I never said you couldn't stay on board.
He tosses the former mastermind a set of keys.
Morpheus: There's a rec center, computer room, showers, and bedroom in Floor 22 of the Left A-wing. It's not the most advanced of technologies, b ut it'll get you up to snuff with the stuff we have here.
Out of nowhere, the captain grabs Lex by the collar.
Morpheus: Just remember this: don't ever think you have the upper hand in my ship.
He lets go of Luthor and orders everyone to debark off the left deck doors.
Lex: Oh I'd n-never think that, Morpheus! Thank you s-so very much f-for allowing me to stay! May I come with you and the others wherever you're going?
