Okay. Here is a what if story. We have seen in the comics describing Krypton as a cold and xenophobic planet. Kryptonians were perceived as arrogant beings who thought of themselves as Gods.

So what if instead of the Council of nine not listening to Jor-el's warnings but discreetly without anyone even Jor-el knowing built a ship to get out before it was too late.

Kryptonians are smart. Super smart in fact. So I refuse to believe they won't listen to Jor-el's warnings. However they are also arrogant so that could also mean that instead of saving their planet the council saved themselves leaving their own people to die.

It seems that Jor-el and Lara's son wasn't the only survivor that went to earth.

One thing for sure everything will change.

This story will have lies, deception, mystery, romance etc. It will contain all Genres since fanfiction doesnt let me XD.

Enjoy!

The legend of Superman

10 Years after the destruction of Krypton

As night descended on a beautiful city. Inside an office a beautiful long blond haired woman lit her cigarette and turned around towards her screen. The screen was situated on the wall and was sectioned into 8 different parts. Each of these parts showed faces which were unreadable.

The woman whose eyes could not be seen because she wore sunglasses stood there waiting.

Looking around her office discreetly she waited. Having enough the woman spoke.

"Is everything in place" she said. It looked like she spoke to nobody since she was alone. However when she spoke one of the screens answered her. It was a woman's face.

"Almost" The blond haired woman frowned and took the cigarette off her mouth "what do you mean almost"

The screen who spoke first responded "everything is in place...however he could not be found"

The blond haired woman put out her cigarette and turned around to the screens "then we find him"

Another screen spoke this time it was a man's face "yes you speak true. However the deed is done all we can do is try to uncover our tracks"

Another screen who was another man spoke as well "I agree but let's not forget if it wasn't for that man and his warnings we would have all perished."

The woman screen who spoke first interrupted them "and look at what happened now. In the end we done great injustice to the ones we should be thankful for"

"It matters not we are great beings. That man...Jor-el should be content that he saved his people"

The woman chuckled "do you mean what's left of us"

"Enough!" the blond haired woman shushed them. "The deed is done. We had to do what's necessary in order to save that child from being corrupted"

The woman screen spoke once again "but was it necessary. What if he doesn't become what we have planned?"

The blond haired woman smiled and took of her glasses. Her face still could not be seen "it doesn't matter. We have planned every detail. Whatever path he chooses in the end he will come to the same conclusion"

Silence ensued and then the screens all then turned off. The woman screen was on for a second like she was hesitating but then it turned off as well. Once the blond haired woman was left alone she sat down on her chair and then grabbed an insignia with an S crest on it.

"In the end you are the heir of the noble house of El and we must take good care of you..." she smiled as she caressed the badge.

" Kal-El"

17 years later

Clark Kent was sitting in a bus stop in deep thought. He sat there for a while when a bus went past him. Once it went past him showing that the he wasn't here for the bus.

A woman suddenly stood next to him holding flowers. If Clark sensed her he showed that he didn't.

The woman had auburn red hair dressed in clothes one would think it was way too expensive if she didn't design and make them herself.

She was Lana Lang born in Smallville Kansas and was one of the most famous fashion designers in the world.

She was also a beautiful woman but at the moment her pretty face was marred with sadness.

"Still couldn't face them" she spoke softly

Clark didn't bother to look up as he got up and walked off "I have league matters to attend to" however before he left Lana put her hand on his shoulder.

She was frowning "you can't keep bottling it all up like this. They wouldn't want that"

Clark flinched a bit as to what Lana said affected him but shrugged it off "I came terms of it a long time ago" he then left leaving Lana alone with a sad expression.

"Oh Clark. Why can't you see them" Lana's face softened. The man before her was the strongest man she has ever known. To think he became what he was today. A man of compassion and sincerity. A true symbol to the world

It was also a great facade and only she knew what lied underneath that great man's exterior. What lied underneath was a broken and sad man who truly suffered.

She was the only one that really knew Clark. Everyone believed he was raised in a farm by the Kents and that he had a healthy upbringing. It was something she too believed until she found out the horrifying truth. She truly wondered why Clark decided not to find out what really happened.

Not wanting to think about the lies and the deception Lana gripped the flowers she was holding and sighed.

It seemed that she was once again doing this alone.

A black haired boy opened his eyes. His eyes glowed radiant as they were an odd deep cerulean blue which one would not think any other person in the world had.

The boy once he woke up suddenly blurred out of the room. It was very surprising since no child nor could any being run that fast.

"MOM. DAD!" the boy screamed as he bolted into the Kitchen.

"Clark what did I tell you about using your powers" A honey coloured haired woman scolded as she was preparing breakfast. The woman held a humble and serene aura towards her.

"Lay off him Martha." Jonathon laughed as he put his newspaper on the table. Martha shook her head amusingly "why must you always spoil him dear" Jonathon chuckled "you know it's hard not to dear. He's our son"

Martha smiled brightly as she looked at little Clark who looked confused "yes. He is our son"

"Clark dear why don't you help your mom set up breakfast" Clark smiled and nodded as he went to help his mom.

The family soon started breakfast and enjoyed their morning.

"Alright Clark before you go to school. What do you do" Jonathon smiled at Clark as he held his wife. Their little boy looked so cute wearing his backpack.

Clark rolled his eyes and answered "never use your powers" he looked to be pouting like he didn't want to speak anymore

"And" His father asked getting the boy to answer.

"Help others so that they can help you" Jonathon smiled and ruffled his hair "that's my boy. Remember what we always taught you" Clark nodded as he still pouted "but I don't get it. How can I help people without my powers?"

Martha smiled and answered him "because dear if you used your powers bad things will happen" Clark just huffed he knew what his mother meant by bad things. Clark may be a child but he was super smart and was in a level beyond his age.

"Okay mom. Dad but can I go with my friends later" Clark pleaded making his parents sigh. Their boy desperately wanted to be with his friends Pete, Chloe and Lana they couldn't deny him.

"Okay after dinner Jonathon will take you there" Clark brightened and then hugged his parents getting them to smile.

"Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad you're the best" Clark smiled and then ran outside. His parents watched him as their little boy then blurred away.

"Every time I see that I get surprised" Jonathon smiled as he held his wife.

"Was it because you used to be a race car driver dear" his wife smiled making her husband laugh

"That too" he smiled.

Storm bellowed in Smallville as rain poured. In class Clark looked at the window with a sad expression.

He sighed. It seemed he couldn't go with his friends.

A blond haired girl touched his shoulder sympathetically she was Chloe "it's okay Clark we can play tomorrow" next to her Pete nodded.

Lana smiled "it will be all sunny tomorrow you'll see"

Clark smiled and nodded "yeah you're right" the teacher signalled everyone to go home since the weather was bad. Everyone then packed up and left.

Clark waved at Lana as she waved back leaving with her aunt.

The young Kent sat down and waited for his parents to come. He waited for a while now.

"You alright there Clark" his teacher smiled. Clark looked at her and nodded sadly "I hope they're not hurt" his teacher smiled "don't worry dear they will come" everyone in the school knew that although Clark lived very faraway his parents always came on time. His family was the cheeriest family around.

An hour has passed and Clark became sadder. The rain poured even more now as the boy's teachers were concerned.

"Clark why don't I drive you home" his teacher came out of the school to see Clark only to find him gone. She became confused but then called out for her colleagues to tell them that Clark disappeared.

Clark ran home at ultimate speed in worry. While he ran he saw a red car. He recognised the car. His eyes went wide.

It was his dad's car.

Smiling the boy ran towards it. He saw his dad pushing the car out of a ditch and his mom on the wheel.

"MOM DAD" Clark screamed getting his parent's attention.

"Clark" his dad smiled as he was suddenly hugged by his son. Martha soon came out of the car only to get a hug as well.

"Clark dear what did I tell you about using your powers" Martha scolded making Clark sad now.

"Don't use it" Martha nodded but saw Clark almost in tears. She knew what he was feeling and hugged him.

Clark feeling his mom hug him also hugged back.

"I thought something happened to you" the boy spoke softly within the hug. His dad smiled and ruffled Clark's hair.

"Nothing will happen. Okay Clark." He smiled but then looked at his car in thought "but it seems we don't have to pick you up after all"

Kent home

The rain ended now as inside the Kent home . Martha and Jonathon were in the living room while their son slept.

Inside Clark's room the window was open as wind breezed out.

However that wasn't the only thing the window let out as someone now stood before the kid. The man's eyes were red as he caressed Clark's face.

Downstairs within the living room, light dimly on. Both parents sat on the table opposite each other. They each had a concentrated look on their faces.

"How long can we keep this from him" Martha asked her husband who sighed "when he is older. We already decided that Martha" Martha nodded as she looked lost in thought.

"But to keep such a thing within the storm cellar" Martha said making her husband nod "where do you think we can put it Martha. Let's try to keep an open mind about this." He smiled as he took her hand and softly caressed it "besides we already met Clark's real parents when we first found him."

Martha nodded as she remembered that day all too well. They were informed by Clark's real parents on how they were from a destroyed planet called Krypton. Their son's real name was Kal-El and his real parents were Jor El and Lara.

Both Kents were also told...no they were begged to raise and take care of their son and treat him as their own.

Apparently their dear son was the heir of the Great House of El, the Great Architects of Kyrpton.

"Jor-El told us that one day the ship will awaken and will be transported somewhere safe that only Clark knows." Jonathon smiled "until then we will keep things as it is"

Martha nodded as she hoped everything will go fine.

Jor-El and Lara claimed that their son was the last of their planet. They also told them that everything was planned to keep him safe. However best laid plans were always ruined and that was something Martha prayed that never happened.

She then got up telling her husband that she was going to check up on Clark. "Alright I will be going to the barn to check with the animals" she nodded and walked upstairs.

As she walked in the hallway she noticed that her son's room was open slightly. Sighing thinking Clark was awake she opened the door.

Her eyes went wide as she saw a mysterious man standing before her son. The figure was all blacked out had his back turned. He then slowly turned his head showing his red eyes which made Martha scream out her husband's name.

"JONATHON!" Jonathon with a surprised expression ran upstairs to Clark's room only to see Martha being strangled by a mysterious figure.

"MARTHA" he screamed surprisingly Clark still was asleep as he was stirring.

The man's red eyes narrowed as he then smirked cruelly. Jonathon felt dread envelop him as he saw Martha looking at him in fear. She slowly tried to reach out to her husband as she softly called out his name and Clark's.

"Jonat...hon...Cla...rk" she gasped as then a sickening crack was heard and thus she fell to the floor. That was it for Jonathon Kent as he ran towards his wife.

"MARTHA!" the figure's eyes then glowed as Jonathon held his now dead wife. Fire soon consumed the whole room.

Clark opened his eyes as he woke up only to see fire. Surprised Clark called out for his parents "MOM...DAD" he yelled as he quickly got out of his bed. The boy looked around for a way to get out as his house was on fire.

Soon his eyes landed on two people on the floor who the boy noticed was his parents. Dread came upon him as Clark ran towards them.

"MOM...DAD" he screamed in tears trying to reach them however he couldn't because someone grabbed him and thus zoomed out of the house. Soon the house exploded and Clark landed on the floor in front of his burning house.

"MOM...DAD!" Clark became scared out of his wits as he ran towards his house.

He soon bumped into a man making him look up. The boy saw red eyes looking at him and soon everything became blank.

The last thing he heard was the man utter two words.

"Last Son"

"Argh!" Clark gasped as he woke up within the empty cafeteria of the Justice League head quarters.

Superman woke up sweating as he shook his head.

"That dream again" Clark muttered as that dream rarely came now since he decided to become superman and devote himself to the world.

"Kal" the son of Martha and Jonathon Kent heard someone call him getting him to look at the source. His eyes landed on Princess Diana also known as Wonder woman to the world. She was a very beautiful, so beautiful she looked perfect. Clark shook off the dream he had and answered her. He noticed that she looked concerned but dismissed it "Its nothing. Just had a bad dream that's all"

Getting up Clark walked past her and patted her on the shoulder and walked out. Clark failed to notice that Diana was within the room while he slept. She frowned as she heard him murmur in his sleep.

Clark walked through the hallway as he was greeted by his fellow heroes who all gave a nod of respect. Getting inside his room he walked up to his window to look at the planet he vowed to protect.

Clark smiled.

"I have made the right decision. Right...Mom...Dad"

Wonder Woman, Hawk girl, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Batman. The Big seven were having their regular meeting where they catch up on recent major events. However they were waiting for one more.

Their major player and leader.

Superman.

While they were waiting Flash nudged Hawkgirl who was beside him.

"What" she said looking a bit annoyed.

"I was wondering it's rare for big blue to be late" Flash spoke quietly making Hawkgirl nod Superman was always on time. It was surprising he was late.

"Maybe he's tired" Flash nodded as he smiled "maybe that hot reporter of his is wearing him out. If you know what I mean" Flash winked making Hawkgirl sigh "whatever Flash"

Batman who sat next to Wonder Woman remained stoic and silent. Wonder woman however although she remained silent and serious she was inwardly worried as well.

Green lantern whose name was Hal noticed Superman come in and smiled. J'onn noticed and nodded.

The man the moment he entered the room everyone looked at him. It wasn't due to his greatly attractive physique or beauty but because of the respect he gained.

"Took you long enough" everyone looked at Superman who smiled "Sorry I'm late" everyone nodded while Flash whined "we waited 20 minutes for you. I'm going to be late for my date now" everyone sighed except Wonder woman and Batman who still looked at Superman.

"Sorry flash. How about I take the reports so you all can leave on time." he smiled "consider this as an apology" Flash became surprised and whooped for joy "you're awesome big blue"

Superman smiled at Flash's innocent antics and then looked at everyone else "you all agree" everyone nodded minus a few when Batman spoke "what was more important than this meeting superman" Superman looked at his friend and sat down next to him.

"No reason...just lost track of time" Batman didn't look convinced as did Wonder woman when Superman started the meeting.

"Why don't we start" he smiled making everyone nod.

Superman sighed as he just finished up the reports. Since everyone quickly left he decided to just head home and rest.

Before he got up he saw Diana walk towards him and smiled at her making her smile back "I hadn't expected to see you here. I thought you left." Diana slipped into the seat next to him and nodded "I wanted to see if you were alright"

Clark became confused but soon nodded as he thought she was worried because he was tired.

"I am...it's been a while I became tired" Diana nodded as she moved a bit closer to him something that didn't go unnoticed by her friend.

"Kal you have been a bit distant lately. Is there something wrong" Kal smiled as he was used to Diana's forwardness and nodded

"It's nothing really. Maybe the work is getting to me" Clark knew Diana wasnt convinced as she and everyone else knew that he was a workaholic. He always was dedicated to make the world a better place.

Looking at Diana he knew that out of everyone in the league he could truly open up to her. However like everyone else Clark wanted to keep things to himself. So he just told her his problems with his job and being with Lois. Likewise Diana told him about the embassy, meeting up with delegates etc. They both opened up to each other and soon time went by. Both of them didn't notice the time that time slipped by and were a bit embarrassed.

"It seems we were so engrossed with our lives and problems that time slipped by" Clark smiled as he was a bit embarrassed. Diana also noticed but still looked at him. The Kryptonian wanted to know what's wrong when Diana put her hand on top of his. Clark noticed and saw that she looked concerned.

"Kal...are you okay" Clark analysed her and knew what she meant but still relented "I'm just tired" he could feel Diana hold his hand a bit tighter.

"Kal." Diana stopped for a moment like she was thinking before she spoke "I heard what you were saying while you were asleep" she saw Clark's face turn to shock but then quickly turn back normal.

"Is it your parents" Diana pressed softly as she knew about Clark's parents dying in an accident when he was 16.

The Kryptonian smiled and squeezed her hand a bit "it's been 11 years" Diana nodded sadly knowing that if she lost her family she would have been devastated.

"Forget about me Diana. It's been 6 years since we've met. So how is the man's world treating you" he chuckled making Diana smile. She always liked his laugh.

She liked many things about him as he truly was what people said he was.

"Good. Creating the relationship of my people with the man's world is going well but..."

"Bruce" Clark smiled getting Diana to nod "he's a difficult man"

"He's lost his parents. He may never get over that" Diana nodded as she still held Clark's hand "I know Kal but he must move on and allow people to help him." She sighed and carried on "Kal you lost your parents and still try to move on." Clark winced slightly like he was hurt. Diana noticed as she never saw Clark have that kind of expression before. Soon however the last son of Krypton covered it all up with a smile. It was so fast that nobody would have noticed. But Diana did and she made a mental note of it.

"His parents were murdered in front of him. Some people never get out of that trauma." Clark spoke as he smiled at her.

"Diana...Bruce is strong just show him that you care." Diana nodded when Clark got out of her hold and got up.

He then smiled at her "it will work out. Bruce may flirt a lot but he's a nice guy underneath" Diana nodded when he walked off.

Daily Planet

Superman flew in at the daily planet to see Lois looking at him with a frown. "You're late" he smiled apologetically and nodded "sorry I was held up" Lois frowned as she knew he always made an excuse like that. She knew he was held up talking to that princess friend of his.

Sighing she spoke "Superman when we decided to have this relationship we promised to always have time for each other" Superman nodded and walked closer to her "yes I know that's why I'm with you Lois regardless of who I am I still want to be with you"

Lois nodded as she felt affected to what Superman had to say. She knew that he had a way with words and that was something she liked about him the most. He knew how to cheer her up.

Walking up to Superman she kissed him as they then hugged "I want this relationship to work Superman. I want it to go deeper" Superman nodded as he knew what she meant.

She wanted to know his identity.

"Lois...I know being with me is hard thanks to my secret. But you know I can't" Lois frowned and then got out of the hug.

"I just can't seem to get it. If we can't get over this than what's the point of this relationship" Clark's eyes went wide which Lois noticed as she then put her hands on his cheeks.

"We can get over this superman. I'm strong to handle your secrets." Clark's face softened and he looked away a bit. Lois slowly brought his face to her and then smiled "besides your superman. There is nothing you cannot beat"

Clark's face remained soft but inwardly he frowned.

Lois didn't need to know that even he had things that he feared.

Superman in the end alien or not also had nightmares.

"Alright Lois. Give me some time to think about it okay.

Bat cave

Bruce was on his computer doing his usual research as he watched over Gotham when his butler Alfred came.

"Master Bruce. Princess Diana is here to see you" Batman nodded when Alfred went to get Diana.

Princess Diana, wonder woman.

Inwardly the dark knight was glad to have her by his side. He was involved with lots of beautiful women in the past but Diana was the one that always stood out. She was perfect in every way possible. She wasn't just beautiful but was gorgeous from the inside. Out of everyone in the league she was the purest even purer than superman.

Superman, Clark Kent and Kal –El.

That man was a mystery to Bruce. Call him paranoid but he was Batman. He had lots of skeletons in his closet. So when he met Superman he knew Clark was hiding a lot of things. It was also the fact that he hid it so well that even he the greatest detective didn't notice.

It was thanks to his instincts on trying to find out everything that saved him.

Clark Kent was an enigma. He was this world's saviour. Children all inspired to be him, everybody in the world wanted to meet him.

In a sense if Diana was a champion for her gods. Clark was the people's champion.

However being a hero isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It was tough and cruel. Everybody had a past. Bruce knew everybody's past. They too knew his but for the life of him he could not find anything wrong with Superman.

He was truly perfect and it greatly scared the dark knight. Nobody in this world was pure other than Diana but nobody could stay pure and innocent for long something even she knew.

So why could he not find anything wrong with Clark.

The answer was that his life was being closely watched. Somebody was protecting him.

Or someone wanted to hurt him and soon Bruce will find out.

Diana finally came in getting Bruce out of his thoughts as he got up to greet her. The two hugged and kissed softly and then sat down.

Bruce went back to his computer while Diana sighed. Why was this man so secretive? She wondered why nobody can be open. She realised that only Kal was open. However ever since they spoke she was beginning to see things differently a little.

Bruce heard her sigh and asked what's wrong. Diana wanted to start a conversation since Batman was hard to talk to. So she brought out what she and Kal spoke about.

Batman listened to everything she said. He knew she and Clark were best friends and knew that if she didn't know anything about Clark then nobody knew.

Bruce turned towards her and spoke "so you think Clark is hiding something" Diana nodded as she looked to disagree with herself.

Bruce nodded as the idea of superman hiding something would be very surprising to anyone.

"I too feel the same way" Diana's eyes went wide and then it narrowed a bit dangerously "explain Bruce" Bruce nodded and turned towards his computer. He needed to tell her everything as Diana truly cherished Clark's friendship.

It was something he envied and was jealous of but he quickly dismissed it due to Clark having Lois and him having Diana.

Bruce brought out Clark's file to his large screen getting Diana to look at it and spoke. The princess saw his attractive face and inwardly smiled.

"We both know everything about Clark. Parents died in a car crash 11 years ago. Clark then was raised by the Kents family friend Bill Hubbard who also soon died." Diana nodded as Bruce turned towards her "soon straight after Superman was born and his battle with Lex Luthor was known throughout America"

Diana nodded "so you're saying that's the only thing you could find" Bruce nodded "Yes apart from the things we know like his Kryptonian heritage and the villains we faced...thats it." Diana looked at him and then suddenly laughed getting the Batman irritated "is there something funny Diana"

"Yes Bruce. You just cannot admit that Kal is just a man who wants to save others. He doesn't need to have a reason to become superman other than the obvious" Bruce nodded in agreement he knew Clark's passion all too well.

"Yes but they are things that don't make sense. For instance everyone that knew Clark are dead" Diana's face softened once Bruce said that.

"Kal is alone Bruce he lost his parents like you. So just leave it" Bruce became silent as that was something he and Clark had in common but the difference was that Clark really was alone. Being the last child of a dead race and now being the last child of a dead family must have hurt his friend.

"I care for Clark Diana but I just think something is wrong here" Bruce's face turned soft as he really looked concerned. This got Diana's attention as she nodded "I try to speak with him" Bruce smiled as Diana got up "once I do I want a date. Understand" Bruce nodded "crystal" Diana smiled and left.

Clark's apartment

Clark was preparing his dinner alone in his apartment when he heard his house phone ring. He ignored it as he wanted to get his dinner done in peace when it went to voice mail.

"Clark! You can't keep bottling it all up. Please do this if not for me but for them" Clark's face softened as he heard Lana's plea. Once the message turned off Clark had enough and flew out of the window.

Soon Diana came knocking when she noticed Kal fly off. Waiting for a while she decided to follow him.

Clark came to the graveyard and landed on the entrance. It was dark so nobody could see him. Looking at the entrance Clark with great courage walked inside.

As he walked past the graves Clark felt several of emotions enter him. He refused to look around as he knew this place was a place where his past mistakes were. So he refused to look around and only decided to just look forward. Now standing before his parents Clark looked at the tombstones and seeing their names brought out a great emotion within him.

Martha and Jonathon Kent.

Proud parents and the most kind of us all.

Tears enveloped Clark and he fell to his knees as he finally cried.

It was his fault they were dead. It was his fault people died in the first place. In the end even with his great power he still could not save anybody. Feeling this Clark let out his emotions and since nobody was there he let it all out. His sobs can be heard in the graveyard as the lights shined on his crying form.

Diana was watching everything in the air. When she saw Clark cry unknowingly she cried too. She saw how Clark refused to look at the other tombstones as his face showed regret.

There and then she knew Bruce was right. There was something going on here.

But right now she wanted to go to Clark and comfort him and to dry off his tears. Seeing Superman cry was a first to her and it was something she greatly wished to never see.

With great regret Diana flew off.

Clark was still on his knees as he remained frozen. While he wallowed in his self pity he suddenly heard someone humming.

The Kryptonian looked at the source and saw a beautiful blond haired woman. Her hair was short and a bit curly. She had stunning blue eyes that attracted Clark. In a sense to him she was an angel which was sent to take his pain away.

The angel turned around and looked at him. Their eyes met and Clark gasped when the woman smiled.

There and then Clark felt that maybe things were going to be okay.

Maybe...

Well Chapter one is done. What do you think?

This will be a different Superman/Justice league. I for one always liked Superman so I wanted to make him in my own image.

I hope you liked it. If you all wonder who the woman Clark saw was. Then research her. But let me give you a clue her initials is also LL.

Thanks for reading.

Ihateheroes.
