Chapter1-man of tomorrow
On a small road a few miles away from a carnival a circular light appeared out of nowhere then transformed into some sort of pod. A door opened and four people stepped out.
"AWESOME!" yelled a blue haired female who was admiring the place
"Smallville? Brainy did you plug in the right coordinates?" asked an overweight male
"I have a twelfth level intelligence Bouncing Boy, I don't make mistakes." Stated green skinned... what looked to be a robot of some kind
"But I thought superman lived in metropolis." He replied bewildered
"Eh, I'm off to that carnival." The blue haired female stated and flew off
"Does she ever stay put?" asked a blonde haired female in a pink and white costume
"Not that I know of... and Bouncing Boy, we're here for a reason." The android stated and took off after the sapphire haired girl, Bouncing boy looked at the blonde and she shrugged then followed Brainy.
"Step right up! Come on win a prize!" a man called and the blue haired girl ran over as a jock won a girl a prize he called a black haired male over to him "How about you son?" he asked the boy
"Clark Kent? He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn." The jock mocked and Clark payed for it as she watched , he seemed to think for a minute then throw and purposely missed, she walked up as the jocks walked away laughing
"HEY WAIT A MINUTE, I'LL SHOW YOU!" she yelled and they turned around and walked back, luckily she'd found some money from that time period "here, I'll try it." She smirked and he handed her a ball as Clark looked at her funnily she smirked and threw the ball with such speed that it knocked every can over as well as piercing the back of the stand "...? Oops, my bad." She apologised but the man was speechless so he just gave her the prize she'd won and she scowled at the now shut up jocks then walked off, but then heard something.
"Something's not right." Stated the boy and she heard it again then looked over to the Ferris wheel, she looked closer and saw a bolt snap
"THE WHEEL!" she yelled and saw the boy speed off as she looked in shock "that was... SUPERMAN!" she yelped and ran off. The blonde haired girl, Brainy and Bouncing Boy were walkin through the crowd
"Can you believe it? FOOD ON A STICK!" and he took a bite out of a corndog "Mmmm, primitive, but DELICIOUS!" he exclaimed and the blonde put a hand to her temple
"No-one seems to be alarmed by our presence, they think we're performers." She smiled and the blue haired female ran over to them
"Ah there you are Roxy." Brainy smirked
"Over...by... the...Ferris...wheel, it... broke... Superman." She stated out of breath and Brainy's Eyes switched and focused on that area and saw Clark with his back pressed up against the side of the broken wheel
"You're right! That's him!" he smiled
"Are you sure...? 'Cause I don't see a cape." Bouncing Boy stated and Roxy walked over to Clark with Bouncing Boy "need a hand?" he asked
"You sure look like you do." She grinned
"A hand...? Er erm, no. Everything's fine here." He smiled
"Sure it is..." Roxy smirked unconvinced as the Ferris Wheels side collapsed Clark sped over and caught it "COOL!" she exclaimed
"It really is you." Bouncing Boy commented as the other two walked over
"I'm Saturn girl, this is Brainiac Five and Roxy, we can help." The blonde smiled warmly
"Seriously, I don't need any-" and he stopped as the Ferris wheel lifted off his hands "help." He finished and looked behind him in shock then backed away; Bouncing Boy had become a large ball to support the weight of the wheel
"The first time I saw him do that... I did the same." She smiled at the shocked male
"Who are you people?" he asked shocked
"I'm Bouncing Boy, it's a real honour to meet you." The ball smiled
"Er... I'm Clark... o oh" he stated looking at the crowd
"I'll handle this." Saturn girl responded and walked closer to the crowd and put both her hands to her temples and thought 'you will forget, what you've seen here' and she smiled and walked back to the four others
"How did you do that?" asked Clark
"I'll explain later, right now, those people need our help." She replied pointing at the Ferris wheels Passengers as it began to break at the top.
"Come on." Roxy smirked and few up with Clark as he jumped up and put the bars back into place and she used fire to weld it closed
"Super strength, just like in the history files." Brainy commented as he hovered in mid-air
"Oh and I get no credit?" she stated annoyed as he ignored her,
"Oh... yeah, I was just...? You're floating!" he stated shocked
"Flight ring... one of my inventions." He responded
"Yeah... he rocks he knows it, I know it; everyone knows it." She smiled and he smirked at her
"If you three are done impressing one and other, I think we're done here." Saturn girl smiled and flew off to the floor as the three looked at each other. (Cut to outside of fair)
"I don't know who you are... or what you are, but thanks. Whatever you do... could you not tell anyone about this?" he asked uncertainly
"Our lips and whatever Brainy has are sealed." Roxy smiled as Brainy scowled at her
"It's ok, we know all about you." Brainy smiled
"You know how freakishly stalkerish that just sounded?" Roxy commented earning another scowl.
"Yeah, you're Super-" Bouncing Boy was cut off by Brainiac 5
"Super with all you're powers." Brainy intervened
"Nice save." Roxy whispered
"I'm guna go now." Clark stated a little put off
"This is probably guna sound crazy, but we need you to come to the future with us." Saturn girl commented
"WHOOP WHOOP! CRAZY ALERT!!" Roxy yelled smiling
"You're right, that does sound crazy." Clark smiled
"You're the only one that can help us." Brainy stated desperately
"I... you have the wrong guy." And he sped off
"CLARK WAIT!" Brainy yelled but Saturn girl stopped him
"Brainiac 5 stop, he knows we're right, let's just give him some time." She said. Clark had ran to his home and walked in the door when
"CLARK, YOUR FRIENDS FROM THE FAIR ARE HERE!" his mum yelled, he stopped in his tracks then looked in the kitchen to see the four
"Hey Clark! Pie?" asked Bouncing Boy offering him some of the slice of pie he had
"How did you get- never mind. Ok even if you are form the future, and I'm not saying that you are... why me?" he asked confused as Roxy smirked
"We belong to the legion of Superheroes; we want you to join us." Brainy smiled
"Wow, that was forward," Roxy commented and Clark laughed
"Yeah right, Clark Kent... a superhero. The only normal acting one out of the four of you is her... and her hair isn't really normal." He stated gesturing to Roxy and she raised an eyebrow and took her necklace off revealing her Fish –like forma and he jumped back shocked "never mind... I still couldn't be a hero."
"Why not, super strength, super hearing, heat vision, you can fly." Bouncing Boy commented counting them down on his finger,
"First, how do you know about all that... and second, I can't fly." Clark replied
"We know this is a lot to take in, but you've got to believe us." Saturn girl urged
"I can't help you, I'm sorry. You guys better go before you get into trouble." He stated
"Don't you want to know more about your powers... come with us and you won't have to hide them anymore." She responded
"Even if I wanted to, I can't just leave... What about my job?" Clark asked
"They won't even notice you're gone." Brainy smiled
"Yeah... this part confuses me too." Roxy stated confused
"What do you mean?" Clark asked
"Come help us and we can return you to the exact moment you left." Brainy replied
"You can do that?" he asked
"Just in time from chicken and dumplings." Bouncing Boy smiled
"CLARK... DO YOUR FRIENDS WANT TO STAY FOR SUPPER?" his Mum asked
"Ooh, can we, can we, can we?" asked Roxy grinning only to have everyone annoyingly ignore her
"Haven't you ever wondered what the future holds for you? Now's you're chance to find out." Saturn girl smiled. He thought for a moment and Roxy smiled hearing his thoughts as he smiled
"I'M GOIN TO THE FUTURE MA... BE BACK IN A FEW MINUTES!" he yelled and Roxy clapped
"TAKE A SWEATER!" she yelled back and Brainy typed on his arm and the Time pod reappeared, B5 Roxy and Bouncing Boy walked in first and Saturn girl held out her hand and Clark took it as they stepped in. The door closed and they disappeared in a flash of light.
"Future?" asked his mum who'd just walked into the kitchen. The legion Head quarters were being decorated by Phantom girl and Triplicate girl for Clark's arrival, Triplicate girl hung up a banner
"Walla!" the three smiled as the banner showed the words 'welcome Superman'
"Good job triplicate girl." Phantom girl commented smiling
"If you ask me, digging up some old hero from the past, makes us look desperate." Lightning lad stated folding his arms
"Maybe that's because we are desperate." She replied and roller her eyes "Lightning lad, this is the fatal five we're talking about, Roxy has trouble with them, AND even the science police are afraid of them, we need all the help we can get."
"You tell him Phantom girl." The three triplicates stated in unison as a light shone behind Lightning lad
"It's him!" Phantom girl exclaimed the flew through Lightning lad and the three triplicates just pushed past him , the light shone brighter and the pod appeared and opened, Saturn girl and Brainiac 5 were the first ones out then Bouncing Boy, then Roxy jumped out and turned around
"Welcome to our humble home dude." She smirked and helped him out and as soon as they saw him, Triplicate girl merged and looked depressed as well as Phantom girl looked depressed.
"Is that... Superman?" she asked and Brainy went to comment but Lightning lad cut him off
"Haha, Superman? More like super geek." And he put his arm around Brainy "Brainy you've out-done yourself this time. You really think this guy is going to help" He mocked and Roxy punched him
"Shut it ego boy." She stated threateningly
"I know what I'm doing, just give him a chance." Brainy stated
"Hi, I'm Clark." He smiled holding out his hand "nice place you have here."
"It's a keeper." Roxy smiled
"Thanks. Ok, let's see if he can keep up." Lightning lad stated to Brainy who noticed Roxy was threatening him behind Clarks back to make him say yes and now he'd noticed she was acting like she hadn't done anything at all. On the way to the weights room Clark was talking to Saturn girl
"What's goin on between those too?" he asked looking at Roxy and Brainy who were chatting
"Well, everyone knows this but Brainy so I might as well fill you in... even though they both come from completely different worlds, she has quite a crush on him." Saturn girl smiled
"And he doesn't know?" he asked
"He may know a lot of things... but when it comes to that, nope, he'd never notice it...ever." she stated
"Why doesn't she tell him?"
"She's afraid he would ignore her afterwards... also she's shy when it comes to that." She smiled
"Ah." He chuckled and they arrived
"Okie dokie Clark, you stand over there under them huge weight lookin things and we'll start this off." Roxy grinned he smiled and walked over to where she directed as she walked over to the control panel and stood next to Brainy as the weights came down
"They use these things to compress Tyrillium, hardest substance in the galaxy... let me know if it gets too heavy." Lightning lad sneered and pushed up to start it
"Don't hold your breath." Clark spoke with confidence
"We're just getting started." And he raised the weight level making Clark find it harder to keep it up then finally he pushed it to the max and Clark was straining himself to keep it up "oh... he's losing it!" he called
"COME ON CLARKY, DON'T GIVE UP!" Bouncing Boy yelled
"YEAH COME ON DUDE!" Roxy cheered but Clark couldn't take it anymore and ran out from beneath it before it crushed him and Lightning lad jumped over
"This... is your superman?" he mocked
"I have no idea who this superman you all keep talking about is... but it's not me ok? You don't want my help, then fine." He stated and sped off
"So... he's no superman big deal." He commented and Roxy punched him...hard.
"You're a jerk do you know that!" she exclaimed and ran out after Clark as he rubbed his very sore arm
"In your effort to test him Lightning lad... did you bother to check the scale?" Brainy asked and Bouncing Boy walked over
"Is that how much he lifted?" he asked shocked
"How much?" Lightning lad asked
"3000 tons... approximately." Brainy responded
"Oh... really?" he asked shocked
"I'll go find him... I'm sure Roxy already has." Saturn girl stated then walked off. Clark had sped around New Metropolis
"I'm definitely not in Smallville anymore." He commented and ran, he found himself at a museum... for Superman. He walked inside and a voice alerted him
"Things sure have changed eh?" it asked and he turned round to see Roxy smirking as she stood up from a bench like she'd been there for a while. "I read your mind and analysed your trajectory output, so I teleported here and waited." She smiled as he looked confused "in English; I read your mind and knew you were headed here." She grinned and he mouthed an 'oh' 'he's at the museum Saturn girl.' She thought
"You're right... they have changed, a lot." He agreed
"Lightning lad is a bit of an ego maniac...I take the mick out of him all the time for it... you just have to learn to handle it." she chuckled as he sat down in front of a costume
"I noticed that one." He smiled
"We did bring you here for a reason though." She stated seriously
"What reason?" he asked
"A team of villains called the Fatal Five... they were put away by the legion a while back...before I joined, my past is a bit of a dark one... I was one of them, but I left and joined the legion." She explained
"So they're really bad guys then?" he asked
"It's a lot to handle we know." Saturn girl stated behind them
"How did she find us?" he asked
"I sent her a mind wave..." she replied
"So what Bouncing Boy said was true then... I really can fly?" he asked
"Cool isn't it?" she asked and sat down next to the two "I'm sorry we brought you here... it's not your fight. We'll take you back... we can even erase your memory, you'll forget all about this." She stated and Roxy frowned
"So these Fatal Five guys are pretty bad huh?" he asked
"The worst. The giant Validus, probably as strong as you." she stated
"His feet reek!" Roxy commented
"Mano, he can destroy with a touch."
"But he sucks at telling jokes."
"Tharok, as smart as Brainiac 5 and armed to the teeth."
"...ok you is wrong girl... his teeth and feet ain't armed and he ain't as smart and the green dude."
"The persuader... his atomic axe can cut through anything."
"He's ticklish."
"And the Emerald Empress their leader... her Emerald eye of Ekron is the source of her power and the tool for her cruelty." She finished
"But she makes nice pancakes."
"It took the entire legion to put them in jail... they've escaped and now they're comin back...for us." She stated dejectedly
"What about the police or the army can't they help?" he asked
"Those wimps? They couldn't harm anyone." Roxy stated seriously
"To put it in my terms, not against criminals like these, we're on our own... and they know It." she stated sadly and both Roxy and Saturn girls rings beeped then a holographic image of Lightning lad appeared
"Roxy Saturn girl, get back to the base now! They're coming." He stated and the ring went back to normal
"Well then, it's time to kick some backside." Roxy smirked stretching her back then she teleported away.
"You should stay here." Saturn girl urged
"Ma and Pa always say never turn your back on a friend in need, you brought me here for a reason, I'm coming with you." he stated. Back at HQ Roxy had teleported back and shocked Brainy when she landed on him
"You should seriously work on your landings." He stated and she laughed nervously and blushed as she'd landed directly on top of him into a rather awkward position.
"I've sent a code red to ever legionnaire." Phantom girl stated
"And?" Asked Lightning lad
"Shrinking violets under cover..." stated the white triplicate
"Colossal Boy is still on Brall." Stated the orange one
"What about Cosmic Boy?" he asked
"At the outpost, he'd never make it in time." Saturn girl commented
"We're it sparky." The purple one stated
"Do I not count?" asked Roxy annoyed
"What can I do?" asked Superman as Brainy talk to Roxy
"If your smart you'll go back home." Lightning lad replied
"I'm here, I wanna help. I have superpowers." He responded
"You've never used them."
"I have used them!" he retorted
"Not like this you haven't."
"Oh let him help you ego prune." Roxy stated folding her arms. Meanwhile outside the base a large explosion was heard and through the smoke came the Fatal five. When the Emerald Empress saw the ten heroes she sneered
"This is it? I would've expected a bigger turnout from the legion of superheros." She spoke nastily and the ten got ready to fight
"There's five of them and ten of us... nooo problem, right Clark?" Bouncing boy asked as he put his shades over his eyes Clark responded by speeding off "...we may have a problem."
"Hmm, looks like you're a little short handed this time." She sneered
"Bring it on green queen! We put you away once, we can do it again" Lightning lad exclaimed and Roxy took her necklace off revealing her Zorainian form
"Take 'em down boys." She commanded and they charged at the legion
"Whatever you do, don't look directly into that eye." Saturn girl instructed and they flew off into battle. Phantom girl phased through the persuader and pulled him to the floor then Triplicate girl span her other selves round and launched them at him which he countered back smacking them away with his axe then they were forced together when Validus squished them with his hands then he went after Bouncing Boy who was then hit by his Laser and hypnotised by the Eye
"Your mind is mine." She sneered
"Do you mind?" Roxy asked and launched rocks at her which were covered in fire but they missed and she was smacked by Tharoks laser gun as he tried to hit Saturn girl. Phantom girl was smacked away by the Persuaders axe then Hypnotised by Empress's eye. Brainiac 5 was fight Mano and Launched his arm forward but Mano grabbed it and flung him round into the Eyes ray hypnotising him
"BRAINY!" Roxy yelled and shot the eye but it bounced off and hypnotised her too and she plummeted towards the floor and landed with a hard thud whilst Lightning lad tried his hardest to fend Validus off Empress aimed for him, he flew down and then was shot by Tharok and fell next to Roxy as Saturn girl was dropped on the other side of him
"Where's Superman when you need him?' he asked. Meanwhile Clark had took the costume from the Museum
"Up up, and away!" he exclaimed then flew up and crashed into a pipe "gotta work on that." He stated then flew off. Empress was tryin to hypnotise Lightning lad
"It's kind of sad really, watching you struggle like this... you're just going to end up like the rest of them." she sneered
"No... I won't." He struggled then was made to open his eyes and was hypnotised. Saturn girl awoke and Brain blasted her making her cry out in pain
"Strong mind, but your body is weak, and when that goes, it's lights out!" she stated and the Eye lit up and blasted her as Clark crashed into the floor and came out of the smoke coughing
"Let them go Empress." He ordered
"Love the cape... very 21st Century." She chuckled
"Last chance." He stated
"You're braver than you look, but I'm afraid you're too late... teach him some manners guys." She instructed and Tharok shot him but it bounced off, then Persuader smacked him into the floor but he punched his way back up, Mano picked him up then blasted him to the floor (what is the point in that?) then Validus stomped on him with his big smelly feet and Mano covered his mouth as the eye shot a green beam down to hypnotise him, as he struggled Saturn girl woke and broadcasted a mind wave 'look at Clark, if he's not going to give up, we can't either you have to fight it!' and they all woke up,
"ALRIGHT GO CLARK!" Roxy cheered then got dirty looks from everyone "...too much?" She asked and they all nodded as Clark tried his hardest to keep his eyes closed
"Now play nice and look into the eye." She instructed
"If that's... what you really want." He struggled and opened his eyes letting out his laser vision which shot the eye then became stronger and shot them all. When the dust cleared he was stood there with his eyes shining red and the five were on the floor
"Hey, they're getting back up!" Brainy called
"Then lets put 'em down for good." Lightning lad stated as his eyes shone and his scare lit up.
"Must, kill... Empress." Roxy smirked sounding robotic then flew off with the others, Brainy went up against Tharok and he blocked the first attack and Brainy transformed into his Coluan form and guns emmited from his shoulders and arms. Next this you see is Tharok running away then being blasted by Brainy
"Aww is the poor widdle Robot afraid of the big Coluan?" Roxy teased then helped Clark with Empress. Then Bouncing Boy and Triplicate girl smacked the Persuader into the wall, he stood up and Triplicate girl blew a raspberry at him and he swung his axe at her but she duplicated then he swung it sideways and she triplicated then merged as Phantom girl phased through him and took his Axe and Triplicate girl separated and kicked him away then merged. Saturn girl was against Validus, he roared at her and she put her hand against his head and thought 'help my friends' she instructed controlling him, he turned around and grabbed Man then flung him away as Lightning lad looked confused until he saw Saturn girl controlling him, Lightning lad turned around to see Clark fighting off the green ray from the eye, but he was blasted down to the floor
"Hit her with your freezing breath." Lightning lap instructed
"My what?" he asked
"Think cold and blow." He replied and Clark flew up and blew out cold air as Roxy fired water so they froze her and her weird eye. Clark landed on the floor and caught a frozen Emerald Empress and her eye in his arms as Roxy just stood there bored. Mano and Validus were the first to be put in front of him then the Persuader was carried there by the three triplicates then Brainy carried Tharok over and dropped him to the floor. Just then Empress closed her eyes and teleported them away.
"Hey...where'd they go?" Clark asked shocked
"Teleported, they could be anywhere in the galaxy at this point" and he smiled "... but I think they got the message." Back inside
"I knew he could do it." Lightning lad Stated and everyone surrounded him "ok... maybe not at first." He corrected
"Do you guys always have this much fun?" Clark asked
"Pretty much." Phantom girl responded
"I guess we'll take you home now." Brainy sighed sadly and Roxy nudged Clark
"Stay." She whispered and he smiled
"Wait a minute... you said you can take me back to the same moment I left right?" he asked and B5 nodded "you know I didn't get a chance to see new Metropolis." He smirked
"And you didn't really get a chance to try out all your powers." Saturn girl smiled and Brainy turned around and smiled
"Maybe I should stay a little while longer." Clark smiled
"Well, as long as you're here, you'll be needing these." Brainy stated and shown him a belt and ring. Clark clipped the belt on and put the ring one his finger
"Aright Clark!" Phantom girl exclaimed
"Yeah!" commented the three triplicates
"Way to go Clark." Bouncing Boy
"You know, Clark just doesn't cut it as a superhero name... if you're guna be on the team you're guna need a new handle, just like the rest of us" Lightning lad smirked
"What about me... I use my own name." Roxy stated only to be ignored again
"I already have one." He stated
"You do?" he asked
"Superman." Clark answered. (Cut to outside in mid air.) The team were outside flying when Superman fell out of the sky then came back up next to Brainy
"Turbulence." He stated
"Try it like this." Brainy smirked and put on arm in front of the other and he copied what he did
"Hey, I like it." he grinned and flew to the front
"Dude! That's my spot!" Lightning lad yelled.
"Shut it ego boy!" Roxy exclaimed.
