Chapter 1 Markus Rheon

2003 Metropolis Airport

"Taxi" Yelled a British voice coming from a small teenage boy maybe sixteen years old, with short dark hair and dark almost onyx eyes he looked quite muscular underneath a buttoned up black shirt with a green shimmer when the light hit it right, his sleeves was rolled up revealing several silver looking rings on his fingers, He had not tight but not baggy black jeans on accompanied by old black timberlands. He threw is black sports bag down sticking his hand out and whistling. "Bloody Yanks" he muttered as the yellow airport Cab pulled up and he got in.

"where to boy" the cab driver asked suspiciously eyeing the lad.

"Smallville, please mate" He replied ignoring the look.

"Yeah that'll be nearly sixty dollars not 'pounds', mate" the cab driver said switching the car off not letting this foreign boy scam him. The lad pulled out a wad of hundred bills.

"That exchange rate, hey. Oh and call me Markus" The boy said as the driver turned and drove towards Smallville.

Smallville Sunny-side Motel

"thanks Clark, I don't know what I would of done if you hadn't of came just as you did like you always do." Lana smiled as Clark untied from a motel room chair as two teenagers, who were both affected by the meteor shower so the big muscular boy could have rock covered skin and his twin sister can create a high pitch voice which can rumble sound waves, was both unconscious on the floor. "Who knows what they was going to do if you weren't here" Lana continued as they stepped outside of the motel room.

"yeah well, Krystal wanted be popular like you and Lucian wanted to help his sister" Clark half smiled as they entered a stopped Metropolis taxi. "The Talon please" Clark said as the man started to drive.

"Excuse me why is a metropolis taxi in Smallville?" Lana asked as she noticed it wasn't a Smallville taxi.

"Oh, I was bringing a British kid from Met Airport. I think he was a Student." The man began to drivel on about Marcus "Yeah just dropped him at that motel"

Smallville Sunny-side Motel

"So how long will you be staying with us" The young desk clerk asked

"As long as it takes" Came a muttered British response. "A few weeks" Markus smiled as she just stared at him.

Smallville High School

"…And she didn't clock on that you used super powers" asked the black boy who was dwarfed by the size of his friend as they went to there lockers conveniently next to each other.

"No, she was just relieved to be saved. I mean Lucian and Krystal aren't that bad but who's knows what they could do with there joint powers, you think Pete?" Clark replied as he retrieved some books and shut his locker to see Pete staring behind him.

"Chloe wassup girl." Pete said hugging the reporter.

"Nothin' hi Kent, what are you talking about." Chloe hugging Clark.

"Just how lucky Lana was how I got there before things got messy" Clark grinned but inwardly cursed that Chloe had another fact to add to her wall of freaks which lead to dead students last time. "So Chloe, Pete did here about the British ex-change student coming here, he got dropped off at the Motel where I found Lana last night" Clark said changing subject.

"British that's hot!" Chloe smirked.

"Well I heard he went mad at the Principal when he called him British saying that it was like an American being called Canadian. Apparently he is English." Pete saying eyeing Chloe seeing if she noticed the change of conversation.

"English Super hot!" Chloe full on laughed this time.

"So you like super guys" Lana said creeping up on them. They shared a girly laugh while the lads shared a worried stare.

Smallville High School Principal office

"So mister…..Rheon you are here for 4 weeks on a standard leaning program and you'll work part time as an orderly at Belle-reve as you have got a glowing reference from Arkum Asylum" The Principal concluded as he looked nervously at the Student who seemed a very angry young man especially when calling him a Britt instead of English.

"K, oh and call me Markus" Markus said leaning forward off the chair ready to leave.

"I see your dad was American Mr….I mean Markus" The principal shifted nervously.

"Yeah he was from Gotham and was killed when me, my mom and him was on holiday but my mom was English so moved there after his funeral." Markus replied unemotionally standing and walking away.

"eerm Mr Rheon….Mr Rheon your lesson plan….Mr Rheon….Markus" He called after him while too scared to up and chase him.

Smallville High School Journalist Room

"See you later Guys" Chloe called as she rounded the corner to the torch "Oh Hello?" Chloe said staring at the back of some one.

"Hello" the British accent dripped off the welcome as he turned to face her. I hear you are the one to come to, to find information?" Markus asked sinisterly.

Belle-Reve Mental Asylum

A muscular man is working out on the weights repping quickly and for every rep he counted. "….238, 239,240…" the boy was a teenager locked up for sniper shooting students and banding them freaks. But the only freak he wanted to kill now was Clark Kent for putting him in here. "I'll get you Super Boy" He roared as he put the weights down on the two hundred and fiftieth rep. "I'll get you super boy"

Kent Barn (Fortress of Solitude)

"Listen Clark he was asking really weird stuff and threatened to 'torch' me if I didn't comply or told anyone" Chloe said pacing around worried about her encounter with the new British student. "I know a cliché killing" she smirked as Clark gave her an off look from his seat.

"Maybe it's sociably acceptable to threaten people in Europe" Clark grinned.

"No Clark he knew exactly what he was doing, like he was a cold mercenary" Chloe said finally calming down.

"My god Chloe are you alright we came as soon as we heard." Lana said running up to her checking for any signs of physical damage.

"Yeah girl wassup wid Marcus man" Pete came straggling behind.

"Lana why don't you take Chloe home to her dad" Clark said ushering them both down the barn steps. "Pete stay here" He ordered as he helped the girls to Lana's car.

"Pete do you know anything about this guy, Markus and why he was asking questions about Van" Clark said walking up the steps.

"Yeah I heard that he is an orderly up at Belle-Reve, goes to Smallville and he got dropped off at the Sunnyside motel." Pete gave him a sideways look. "Y'all goin superboy on him or what"

"Of course not but maybe it wouldn't hurt to have a word" Clark said picking up his jacket. "But Pete go home you have got that test tomorrow"

"Sure Mom!" Pete called sarcastically as he ran to his car.

Belle-Reve

"Hey orderly I said I didn't want this crap you call food. I think I'll just stick to the protein shakes" Van said turing his back on the new orderly.

"What a shame Muscles" Came the British accent as Van turned into the fight for his life.

Sunnyside Motel

"Excuse me I'm looking for a Mr. Rheon, I heard he was staying here" Clark asked flashing a smile.

"Are you with the Sheriffs department?" Came a lazy reply from behind the desk.

"Eer no" Clark asked confused.

"then I'm not allowed to release information about our guests although he might not even be a guest." She said in a bored tone.

"Well can you a least tell me if he is here so I know to wait or not, please" Clark said smiling again.

"No!" she replied "Now leave"

"….They were your friends and you mercilessly killed them, I mean how could you 'coz frankly mate I can't seem to bend my noggin 'round that." Said Markus who was donning a long black leather duster over the top of his green orderly garb.

"THEY WERE ALL FREAKS!" replied a beaten and burned Van who was lying on his cell bed nearly dead.

"No they were normal people with gifts" Markus yelled getting angry "but me" he continued calmer now "I'm an insane person with gifts" he said as his right hand was engulfed in green fire, he balled it up into a fist and backhanded Van into the wall knocking the bigger teenager unconscious. "Now to waste you, Muscles"

"Wait no" said Clark as super speeded into the room "please this is not the way, if you do this your just like him" Clark pleaded seeing Van on the floor.

"Like him?" Markus laughed lighting up a cigarette with a match scratched off the floor "No Clark, I'm worse" and with that he sent a green fireball into the ceiling making it fall on Clark. "Come on I know that won't kill you, only a meteor rock will" Markus said taking a drag. "Well so Van tells me, 'Coz your invincible" throwing the fag away "I will let him live so next time I go to kill him you will have a even playing field" Markus said standing on the rubble "Hey Muscles this superboy looks down for the count, any hew I need to finish my shift C Ya" and with that he took off down the hall.

"Van are you alright" Clark said as he burst out of the rubble. "damn" Clark cursed as Van was still out cold. He ran over to check his pulse. "thank god" He super speeded after Markus.

Luthor Mansion

"So he posed as an orderly and nearly burned a man alive, which you just happened to visit that day and this is the same man who shot at both me and you. Yet you want me to catch this Markus Rheon" Lex Luthor asked as he played pool with his friend Clark Kent.

"Yes, and thank you Lex only god knows how many lives you will save if he is caught." Clark said not really playing just doing it to humour Lex.

"No" Came the all to chilling British accent. "God has no power here Clark, you should know that" he strolled out of the 'secret' stairway of Lex's "You didn't look very hard for me Clark" He had changed out of his orderly outfit into a dark green tee-shirt and black jeans with his long black leather duster on.

"Hey how did you get in here?" Lex said just before Markus blasted the pool table sending Lex flying through his piano.

"Lex" Clark cried as he turned to see his friend unconscious. "What's your problem?"

"You know McNulty has dreamt of killing you and you fellow meteor altered brethren yet you try and defend him, you know what mate, your lucky I don't turn you crispy" Markus replied igniting both his hands in the familiar green flame.

"You know that can't hurt me Markus" Clark said confidently as he stared intensely enough that his heat vision went straight into Markus' hand dissipating his flame.

"Woah you're the only one I've met with two abilities." Markus said stunned "But I'm not a quitter" and with that he blasted the roof making it cave in on Clark "Twice, come on mate" Markus chortled at the pile of rubble.

"trust me I'm not your mate" Clark Said from behind Markus

"what? How?" Markus stuttered out in disbelief

"Super speed. I have a few abilities" Clark said grabbing the jacket and hoisting Markus off the ground. "Like super strength" He smiled as he threw him next to a now semi-conscious Lex Luthor.

"Alright this is not fun" Markus said lighting up his hands "Come on super boy let's see if you can take the heat." He unleashed a soccer ball sized blast charging right for Clark who let it hit him.

"Aaargh" Clark wailed as he flew back.

"Wait I thought…" Markus said looking at his hands then at a partially burnt farmboy

"Clark" Came a groggy call from Lex just before he hit a floor switch revealing an alarm button and a pistol.

" 'K gotta go, c ya cherub's" Markus flashed a grin before charging towards a nearby stained glass window blasting it and then jumped through it.

"Clark" Lex repeated as he went to check on his friend who was a little less burned than when he first came to.

Kent Farm

"Listen Mom I'm fine" Clark snapped as his Mom went gave him some ice.

"Clark don't snap at your mother" Jonathon Kent said firmly.

"Yeah, Clark they just want what's best for you, since you thought that you didn't need to stay at the hospital"

"I know Lana but I just feel fine I don't need help, okay?" Clark said to his friend.

"Come on Lana do you want a ride home" Lex said getting up to leave.

"yes please" Lana replied turning from Clark.

"Can I have one as well?" Chloe chimed in as they were leaving.

"Sure" Lex said with a hint of annoyance. "Pete do you wanna?"

"Nah I'm good my mom's coming" Pete called to Lex.

"Okay hope you feel better clark" Lex said getting into the car with the two teenage girls.

"Thank you again Lex"

"My Pleasure Mrs Kent."

"Okay so what happened" Jonathon said as Lex's Mercedes drove off.

"Yeah Clark, Lex said that new British boy threw a fire ball at you but how could it?" Martha Kent asked worriedly.

"What hurt me, I've been thinking that since I felt the pain of it hitting me." Clark said looking dazed and a little sore from the experience.

"Well now you know what it feels like when you let off those eye cannons of yours" Pete joked.

"Yeah but that does not help us, Jor-El said I'm invulnerable to all except of that wrought from my own planet." Clark said contemplating the statement.

"Well maybe he is affected by the meteor shower" Martha suggested as she poured out some coffee.

"And that would explain he went after McNulty I mean he tried to kill them all, Thanks" Pete said as Martha rounded the table with the pot.

"wait didn't Lex say his Fire was green" Jonathon added

"Kryptonite Fire?" Clark concluded.

Luthor CorP

"I don't care! I want him found!" Lex shouted at his grunts looking for Markus. "It says in his file that he stayed in Gotham city for a while so lets phone around to…." Lex began but was interrupted by his cell wringing. "Yeah what?"

"Lex Luthor" Came a mechanically altered voice.

"Who is this?"

"I am on behalf of Markus Rheon, He isn't going to bother you again so don't look for him other wise you will be finished meaning your business down the toilet and your life in danger. Goodbye Mr. Luthor"

Smallville Train station

"Markus" Clark shouted as the train pulled into the nearly abandoned station.

"Superboy, came to wave me off mate" Markus smirked as he walked towards the train.

"I don't think so you will not harm anymore people" Clark said super speeding in front of the doors and gripping Markus around the throat.

"Sorry, but I'm not a free man like you I do what I'm told to do." Clark saw Markus' onyx eyes glow dark green iris' and then he laid a blazing hand on Clark burning him to the point of letting him go. "We will finish this BOY" Markus growled as he strolled past onto the train and just stared at the superboy as the train departed.
