Chapter 4: Flashback part 1

Clark twisted and turned in the alien bed in his quarters. His mind wandered as he slept. He then woke up screaming Lana's name. Claire walked in.

"Kal-El, are you all right?" She asked, using his Kryptonian name. He shook his head.

"I still can't get over how I got here," Clark said as he reached for a T-shirt and reached for the shorts that he had put on the floor. Claire was dressed in her nightgown, or at least a nightgown that resembled hers that she wore in Odessa.

"Neither can I. Wanna share it?" She asked, as she sat on the edge of the bed. Clark smiled.

"Sure, why not?" He said.

A week ago: Clark stared at the prototype as he was doing some engine work on his sister's car to modify the engine. He then heard a voice.

"Son, I need you," was whispered in his ear. He then climbed into the car and deactivated the vehicle's Central Processing Unit. He didn't want Trinity knowing where he was going, nor did he want Kara knowing either. He then crouched, and used his powerful legs and he was flying in the air. Kara had shown him the gift of flying that his recent trip to Krypton had unlocked little over a year ago. He had flown to Metropolis.

LuthorCorp Plaza: Clark walked through into the Chairman's office to see the cloned body of Lionel Luthor, that Jor-El had cloned at a Knight Enterprises lab 3 years prior. With Lionel Luthor dead, Jor-El had accessed most of Lionel's personal files on his computer, and had discovered Lex's agenda with the last Phantom. To take the body and sample the blood to create a race of super soldiers to prepare a war between humans and humans with superhuman abilities.

"Yes, Father," Clark said. He saw the white eyes, and then saw the man smile.

"I've discovered the younger Luthor's plans. You must prepare a team to fight him, my son," Jor-El said. Clark then reached for his Cell Phone.

"I'll call Bruce Wayne and have him assemble the Justice League at once," Clark said, but he saw his father shake his head no.

"There is a being called the Beyonder who has prepared a team for you, Kal-El but you must fine tune the team to your liking. There is a girl in Odessa, Texas who has the ability to regenerate. Then there is the costumed adventurer called Spider-Man," Jor-El said.

"I'll check her out," Clark said. Jor-El then motioned for Clark to come to the computer.

"The Phantom has been found. You must find and defeat him. If not, all is lost, you must find the Odessa girl. She can aid you," Jor-El said. Clark nodded.

New York: Matt Parkman entered the house of Dr. Virgil Swann to see the scientist dead in his electric wheelchair. He reached out with his mind to hear the thoughts of the man but could hear nothing. He then heard a voice.

"I am Kal-El of Krypton. You have been Chosen to aid me in my struggle against evil," Clark said. Matt then began to listen to Clark's thoughts, but all he heard was a thought that was alien, not of this world.

He then stared at the cheerleader with him. "Wait a minute, you're that cheerleader in Odessa I read about. You have a gift, right?" Matt said. She nodded.

"As do you, Officer Parkman," Spoke another voice. Clark, Matt and Claire turned and saw a being with white eyes, but he was naked.

"Who are you?" Clark asked. The being just smiled.

"Kal-El, you are destined to do much more than worry about the citizens of Smallville. Your destiny is far greater than you can possibly imagine," The Beyonder said. "I am from Beyond your realm, Kal-El of Krypton. I knew Krypton from its inception, to its death. I saw you leave your world, just as Krypton died. You will be taken to a place beyond your solar system where you will face your greatest enemies, and meet your greatest allies. You three are gone," The Beyonder said, and white light shined around them, and the three were gone…
