Author's Note: Hi ppl, this is my very first fanfiction ever so I apologise if the storyline is rubbish. Sorry in advance for any typos. It may seem a bit crappy but please at least read the next chapter because I think it will be better. So without further ado, let's begin.

Prologue

The alleyway was dark and narrow as two people walked along it.

Sheets of corrugated iron lay discarded all over the floor and wanted dripped down in some places filling the air with a monotonous dripping sound; drip drip drip.

The alley stank of stale water, dirt and of poverty.

All the windows that opened into the alley were tightly boarded up with what ever people could find; sheets of corrugated iron, rotting planks and even cardboard and paper in some cases as a desperate attempt to stop anyone from breaking in and taking any food or money that they might have.

It was extremely dark and the alley was only lit by the rays of light from a candle on the windowsill where the boards had cracks in and where the occasional beam of moonlight peeked down from above the clouds.

One of the people was was female and the other was male, they looked like they were in their thirties and they wore a ring which signalled that they were married.

They both were trying to stay as clean as possible but were finding it hard because of the water, dirt and rusty iron on the floor.

"Why are we here?" asked the woman.

"You'll see," came the reply as the man lead the woman down the alley.

The woman looked around and saw something was wrong.

Her husband was strangely tense and was actually yanking her hand to get the the end of the alleyway.

The alley itself was creepy and dirty and her feet were covered in dirty water and flakes of rust.

"Daniel I don't like this, let's just go home," protested the woman, and she stopped walking.

"No Catherine," Daniel replied, pulling her along,"It's not that far."

Catherine slipped and stepped into another puddle of dirty water, 'Ugh, I've had enough!' she thought to herself.

She stepped out and tried to wring the water out of her her silk dress as well as she could.

Then Daniel took her arm and started pulling her along.

"Look, if this is about what you said earlier, I already said no and nothing you can say will change my mind," Catherine jerked her arms out of Daniel's hold, folded them and stopped again.

He looked back at her and attempted to pull her towards the end of the alley but she stepped back.

Catherine remembered when Daniel had come to her with a strange request.

He always came up with new weapons and designs for his suit, but she was always the one who made them.

All he ever did was say 'I want an explosive disguised as a pencil' or something that sounded cool and he always left her to actually plan how to make it and he never helped her make the item.

Catherine didn't want to make these weapons for him because she hated what he did for a part time job; he was the feared supervillain Rect, mass murderer and had always escaped capture.

Everyone wanted to know who he was so he rarely worked with anyone in case they betrayed him and managed to take off his mask.

Also, any failures of the equipment were always blamed on her; if a bomb failed to explode on time, all the blame was placed on her.

Catherine was usually ok with what level he did things on, but as soon as he started working for this new organisation, he had demanded more equipment and he killed many more people on a daily basis.

She wished she could tell someone but something stopped her, she knew she was being abused and used against her will but inside she hoped that there was some good in him left and that some part of him still cared.

But last night Daniel had come to her with such an absurd request that she thought that he was joking but when he said that he was serious she had point blanc refused.

And now where was he taking her?

Daniel was growing worried.

Usually Catherine would follow him wherever he went and did what he wanted her to do but he knew the last request had been over the top.

How had his organisation ever thought that Catherine would willingly agree to help them create a bomb that would destroy an entire planet?

Catherine was a kind soul and had always been reluctant to use her genius to create the weapons and suit he used as the supervillain Rect.

But still, he had only one option and it lay at the very end of the alley and he needed her to get there.

"Come on, Cath, please," he pleaded hoping she would fall for it.

"I said nothing you say of do will change my mind!" Catherine raised her voice a little.

"Ahh yes, Mrs. Blackson," a cold voice sounded behind them and Daniel turned to see his boss,"but what about something I say?"

His boss held up the mind control ray and activated it.

Catherine fainted and Daniel caught her before she hit the ground.

His boss nodded to him and spoke to the unconscious Catherine in a cold voice "You are going to help us destroy Krypton."

AN: So that's that people, please review and let me know what you think.
