any way to make this cleaner?

unclean creator in companion.scala

abstract class SuperClass {
	var initialized = false

	def initialize {
		initialized = true
	}
}

abstract trait SubclassCompanion {
	def create:Any
}

object Subclass1 extends SuperClass with SubclassCompanion {
	def create {
		val obj = new Subclass1()
		obj.initialize
		obj
	}
}

class Subclass1 extends SuperClass {

}

object Subclass2 extends SuperClass with SubclassCompanion {
	def create {
		val obj = new Subclass2()
		obj.initialize
		obj
	}
}

class Subclass2 extends SuperClass {

}
