Prologue

In a universe where everyone has a tramp stamp that is branded onto their skin on their 12th birthday the pain opening a door to their soul mate. Soul branding was earth's way to show you what was at your core. Like the earth's core the branding was hot, everyone knew about the brands, but very few were prepared for them, they didn't give you everything you needed as such. Colours, and symbols were clues but the writing was the defining characteristic or desire at the core of the individual. You were matched literally by your soul the inner truth that defined you and guided your actions. Not everyone had a kind soul, or a loving soul, and some people were matched because of the darkness within.

Clark Kent had a soul brand but it didn't arrive until he was nearly 13, there was no real explanation why unless you counted not being born on earth. Earth had accepted him as someone who belonged and he had a brand there was two small globes either side of the words truth, justice and the American way. His new motto since adorning his super suit, although this meant when Kara arrived and he found her he needed to find somewhere for her to go. She was all ready 13 although she was confused about this; Kara had explained she had been stuck for a long time in space. Clark asked the Danvers to look after her and help her integrate.

Kara knew about the soul mates, but also knew she was not going to have one here on earth, she had no brand and was now in her 20's she was moving to national city to work at Catco, she would be near Alex the only person that truly made her feel like she belonged. Clark was her blood but he didn't understand her he was more human than Kryptonian , Alex though she loved Kara and helped in every way to accept her and make her feel comfortable. Alex had a Soul Brand here said "dedicated to the protection of others" it was lovely the guns either side not so much, it was chocolate colour and written in Spanish, but it was easy to translate.

The infamous Lex Luthor had a soul brand his was "strength, power and domination" His showed the truth about his soul, but Clark wouldn't believe it, he said that Lex had been so great to him, a loyal friend, that no words in themselves were negative, and he deserved a chance. Lex tried several times to kill Superman and the collateral damage before he was stopped was shocking.

The youngest Luthor, Lena was moving to National City, there were rumours that she had a soul brand that no one had ever been allowed to see. So she was a wild card, not actually a Luthor by blood but brought up by them, was she going to be evil like her brother or would the new CEO of Luthor Corp be a good addition to national city, although there was no evidence to support it the youngest Luthor was already considered just another Luthor. Over the years many people had tried to get glimpses of her soul brand, there was a significant amount of money offered for a clear picture. After all why keep it secret if it didn't point towards an evil intent.

Both now in national city Lena and Kara develop a friendship much to the dismay of all those close, Lena, helps the city but is never fully honest, Clark is sceptical as are all the super friends, because after all a Luthor and a Super have clashed before and the fall out was costly.
