This story is a direct sequel in the InnerSelf Series, a series of three stories, all revolving around Clark Kent and Alicia Baker. In Part 1: InnerSelf Fortorn, Clark and Alicia have become a serious item. So much has their love has been told across Smallville, the cause of which Alicia gets pregnant, and they agree to get married. The majority of the community doesn't like them being together, especially after Lionel announces that both Alicia and Clark are meteor freaks, that then addresses the cause of Alicia's kidnapping. In an effort to save her, Clark gets trapped in the living hell that is the Luthor-Corp experimentation labs. If you haven't read InnerSelf Fortorn, please read it before reading this, it makes a lot more sense.

NOTE: In InnerSelf Fortorn, Clark has not been on Red Kryptonite. The red light in his eyes is a sign of extreme anger and tragedy. Just to answer some questions...

In this sequel, InnerSelf Revealed, this tells the story of the big surprise at the end of InnerSelf Fortorn. I have decided that every other chapter will be a journal for what happened to the surprise... that made it the surprise... if that makes sense at all...lol...if you read the first part, this will all make sense. Thanx for reading!

Prologue

(Ties in with Epilogue of InnerSelf Fortorn)

Beyond that which is infinate...is always something that lingers...a feeling that, when hidden, starts to eat away at the host. A parasite, a monster, that feeds on what is living, to make anything it touches dead...just like the rest of the world. Most people are not infinate. Some are leeches, driven only to eat. Eat and conquer. But some stand out among the rest, driven angels, who's only idea is a peaceful coexistance around the world. Alicia was and still is an angel. I used to be one. This is the story about how I became who I am today, to save my beloved Alicia. To stop what God has wanted for so long. To take her away from me. I had to follow in my father's footsteps. To rule the world, following his own destiny. To the other humans of this world, I am God.

Hello Journal.

How are you today? I know, what a weird question for a notebook. I'm still thinking about Alicia. It's been two years since I did Jor-El's bidding, and still, nothing. I rule Earth now, a living, walking God. Except this god can't even have a lawful father. Or a wife. Jor-El tricked me... why couldn't he just give me back Alicia? It wouldn't have been that hard...he had all the power of the Kawatchee caves at his disposal. I'll tell you what I did, the things that led to my ruling of this planet.

Well, Jor-El reprogrammed me... sending me into my alter- ego, Kal-El. I decided to take over Smallville, and then work my way up. I recruited some of my friends, Pete Ross was the first. He wanted a high paying job, and powers, so I gave him both. I mutated him with a red Kryptonite injection I found at Luthor-Corp. He gained some super strength, and a unique ability to exert a red energy blast from his hands. Then I gave him a very easy job when I began my ruling... Leader of the United Nations.

And I bet you're wondering about the other people of Smallville... I started with Chloe. She pissed me off by publishing Alicia's and my secret about our powers, so I thought she would like to see what she started. She made it worse by appearing at Alicia's funeral, along with Lois and Lana. They acted nice, but deep down, they hated her, and the despised me. Fuccin' humans. The only good one was Alicia. But she was almost a kryptonian. I went to the Talon, thinking it would be the first place to find Chloe, if not Lana. But she was lucky. The Talon was closed. Now, when I was reprogrammed, I didn't know who was who, until Jor-El downloaded various images of the people that caused me pain. Many were of Lana, Chloe and Lois, along with Johnathon and Martha Kent.

"Destroy these people, they stand in your way of ruling the Earth" Jor-El stated, sending the message deep within my mind.

The next stop was the Torch office, and sure enough, there was Chloe, writing a follow-up story to the Luthor-Corp Scandel, which involved Alicia and I. She didn't even publish a memorial article for her, even though the principal asked for it. I guess she decided she wouldn't do a story dedicated to a "Meteor Freak."

I entered the Torch office, wearing nothing but a black robe, a matching hood covering my face. Chloe looked up, and put on her fake smile, trying to look happy. I could see right threw her, literally and figurativly.

"Wow, what are you wearing Clark? You look like you just came out of a cult."

"I am not Clark, Chloe Sulliven. I am Kal-El of Krypton, and you will pay for your crimes."

Chloe backed away as I came forward, scared of what I could do to her.

"Your really starting to scare me, Clark. I know you missed her, but-"

"Missed who? I am doing my father's bidding."

"Johnathon? What does-"

"JOHNATHON KENT IS NOT MY FATHER! HE IS A PATHETIC HUMAN, AND HE WILL COWER IN MY PRESENSE!" I screamed, picking up one of the few remaining computers, and throwing it against a wall to my right. Chloe cowered at my strength, and started to cry.

I continue to walk toward her, driven only by Jor-El. She screams as I pick her up by her arm, breaking several bones in her wrist, and I walk out of the school, several of the students watching as I made my way outside. Chloe continues to cry, and scream when I drop her on the pavement.

"You see all that is around you, Chloe Sulliven? I will rule this.. this and everything in the world. And it all started with you. You had to publish that article, and it was your actions that started this all."

"Clark I didn't mean to do it. I just-"

"LIES! You wanted to find out about me! You wanted to know what made me so different from the rest of the world, and you wanted to know why I loved Alicia, and why she loved me! You didn't care how much or how many people got hurt, you just wanted your job at the Daily Planet! Isn't that right!" I screamed at her.

Chloe started to cry louder, and most of the school had surrounded me and her. They stared at me with eyes full of suspicion and hate.

"Fuccin' freak." said a person, not twenty feet away from me.

I turned my head towards the voice, and sped over to him. A Smallville Crows football player.

"You got something to say to me, huh? SAY IT!" I screamed at him, pulling his hair.

"Your a fuccing freak and I hate you. You people need to burn in Hell!" He said, many of the people stare, shocked beyond words.

"Really? You want me to burn in hell? Let's see how you burn!"

Immedietly, I ignited him with my heat vision, making the pathetic human scream at the immense pain I was giving him. I continued the heat, burning him beyond eternity. I dropped his charred carcass, the scorched bones break on impact with the pavement. The group of students, along with Chloe, stare in horror, and I turn to them, smiling.

"Anyone else want to say their opinion?" I ask the terrified group. No one speaks, until a police siren roars through the air.

Sherriff Adam stops her car in front of the school, and I ignite my heat vision, directing it to the gas tank, exploding it in mere seconds. I turn back towards Chloe, and easily pick her up. The goup moves back as I throw her into a yellow suburban, breaking her back. A scream is heard, as Lana runs up to me, and starts punching my chest. Her punches mean nothing, and in one quick motion, I break her neck, her body falls in front of me. I walk away, and down towards the parking lot, past Chloe's dead body, and speed off in a flash, leaving the school behind.
