Fractured Spirit

** Story takes place at the beginning of Season Seven's 'Fracture" but has a Mionel twist. **
Chapter 1:
In a Detroit junkyard, two people were quickly moving around the former glories of a past automotive industry & the torrential rain pouring down on top of their drenched heads. The night was foul, dark & dank with the sky constantly opening up & soaking them both to the bitter bone.
"No one asked you to be here Ms Sullivan," the eldest of the two complained as he cautiously jogged down the lane of massacred cars nearby.
"What makes you think Kara's here?" Chloe, the younger of the two, questioned.
"Lex gave something to Kara that emits a GPS signal. She's within one hundred yards of us."
"Lex is stalking her?"
"Let's just be grateful for my son's need to control all possible situations. Otherwise, my technical analysts wouldn't have had the chance to advise me of the missing equipment & I wouldn't have had the thought to review Lex's travel records."
"Right. Well, you take this way & I'll find my own way around Pocahontas."
Lionel continued on his way. A little further up, Lionel could see Kara's cuff bracelet near a grimy puddle. He continued on until he heard the staccato strains of an argument up ahead. He couldn't tell what was being said, but one voice did sound familiar. Kara was locked in a lean-two with a fence wrapped around it & another man was talking to her through the fence.
"Let her go," Lionel demands holding his gun close to his side.
The young man raised his gun & Lionel does the same.
"Finley, please don't do this," Kara begged as she tried to reach through the fence.
"I won't let you get hurt Linda," Finley exclaims.
The boy turns to the older man & without hesitation fires his gun. Lionel shoots back, but it's too late. The gun slips from his numb fingers & he stumbles to his knees as blood slowly drips down his face. He falls, oblivious to the world, down to the ground.
"Nooo!" Kara shouts as Finley walks up to the body of the older man & rolls him off his side. He takes aim & fires twice more into the body of Lionel Luthor.
