Mr. Weisman,

In the episode, Usual Suspects,...

#1. How exactly did Lex Luthor figure out that Superboy ran out the red shields? I mean, did that little container that holds the red shields have some kind of chip or something that transmits to Lex Luthor and informs him when Superboy uses a red shield and how many he has left in inventory?

#2. If Superboy, Artemis, and Miss Martian did not tell the rest of the Team about their respective secrets, what would have been the original outcome of the meeting that occurred in Santa Prisca; considering they were supposed to go somewhere? I mean, would those three have been given the Starro-tech at wherever place they would go, like what the mind-controlled Red Arrow did to the Justice League? Or, would there have been a far worse fate that would have awaited those three?
