I was just a simple stay at home mom or so I thought, until the day the Luther's entered my life. They were part of a secret society called Veritas. While most of them thought they were only awaiting the traveler there was much more to this story that I found myself in the middle of.
It all started the day one of Lionel Luther's men showed up on my door step while my children were still at school. He pretends to be some sort of door to door jewelry sales man. I said I wasn't interested but he insisted I take a look at some of his jewelry. The minute he opened the case I fell to the floor in pain. It was kryptonite, not that I even knew what that was at this point. All of the sudden two more men coming rushing up to me, one has a syringe. I feel it pain fully jab into my arm and start becoming very drowsy before I slip into unconsciousness.
So why did they kidnap someone as ordinary as me, well I wasn't ordinary; I just didn't know it yet. I mean for my small size for a girl I had always been pretty strong and fast but nothing extraordinary.
The Veritas Society was made up of the decedents of Kryptonian women that had visited earth over the centuries and had children with humans. A human woman had never survived a pregnancy with a Kryptonian man though; the babies were just too strong for their body. The Veritas Society tried to control who their children married so as to keep the bloodlines strong as they await the next Traveler from Krypton.
But several families had left the society long ago wanting to live normal lives. My mother and father both came from these bloodlines that had left, which is where I come into the story.
So the kryptonite jewelry was actually a test to see how strong the Kryptonian side of me was. They had not expected much of a reaction but my reaction was so strong, I was immediately taken. Apparently the more Kryptonian DNA we had the more we reacted to this green looking gem called Kryptonite.
I start to wake but my eyes are still very heavy. As they finally fully open I find myself in a large room hand cuffed to a bed. My heart starts racing and I start to cry. I nearly jump out my skin when a man in a very nice suit walks through the door and begins to introduce himself as though there's nothing odd about this situation.
"Hi, I'm Lionel Luther. I'm so glad we finally get to meet. I've been watching you for some time now."
I scream, "HELP"
Lionel "No one is going to hear you Lucy. So you should just stop straining yourself and listen to what I have to say."
I scream, "Who the hell do you think you are? How do you know my name? "Then plead, "Please let me go. I have children that need me." I begin to cry again.
Lionel "Well you are not going anywhere any time soon and I will try to explain but, if you don't calm yourself, I will have you sedated again."
Pleading and crying again I say "Please don't."but I quiet down for fear of what will happen if I don't.
