Brother and Sister
Charm wondered where they were going. Could this possibly be a trap? But no, she thought, Superman is too naïve for that. He believed her little sob story 'faster than a speeding bullet'. She smiled.
They had been flying for about an hour when Superman began to descend. They broke through the clouds and Charm gasped when she saw where she was. The Artic. The whole place shimmered and glowed. Charm caught herself in awe and quickly rid herself of the emotion. They landed on a ledge with a welcome mat in front of a large metal door. Superman lifted the corner of the mat and pulled out a key. Charm assumed there was something special about it, else he wouldn't leave it lying around. He opened the door and gestured for her to enter. She walked in cautiously; and couldn't help but stare in awe. Famous art covered the walls, Kryptonian relics on pedestals everywhere, an enormous sculpture of a Kryptonian man and woman, whom she assumed was his parents, and, to top it all off, a semi-fixed Titanic. "Is that, that the Titanic?" she said. Superman smiled, "The one and only. I haven't quite finished renovating it yet, but then again, I haven't had much time to spend on it lately." Charm turned to face him and said, "So, where is this person you wanted me to meet?" "I have to go get him," Superman said, "I thought it'd be best if you two met here, Then maybe he wouldn't make a scene." "Why would he make a scene?" she said curiously. "Well," he said, "I'll let him explain." He walked back to the ledge and said, "Wait here. You can explore a bit if you want, just obey the robots." And with that, he flew off. Obey the robots? She thought. She floated down onto the deck of the Titanic. It glimmered like it was new. She flew through the rows of art and read the engraving on the Kryptonian couple statue. They were indeed Superman's parents, technically her grandparents. She had never really thought of Superman as her father, although she guessed it was true. She wondered who the guy was that he wanted her to meet. She tried to go in some lab-like room, but a couple robots shooed her out. So that's what he meant by obey the robots. She thought about contacting Luthor, but decided against it. One of the robots would probably catch her and she'd be done before she even started.
She was fiddling around with the navigation controls on the Titanic when she heard the door open. She walked out onto the deck. "Connor," Superman said, "Will you please just talk to her? She's technically your sister." "Conner, please? It would be so sweet," a girl said. "Fine," someone said, "Since you already dragged me here." Superman flew onto the deck followed by a pretty girl with green skin and red hair. A boy who looked a lot like Superman and a little like Luthor jumped down to the deck, landing beside Superman. "Hi," he said bluntly. "Um, hi," Charm said back, "I'm Charm." "Superboy," he said. "And I'm M'gann," the green girl said, "Superman said you had some questions that could best be answered by Superboy and he said he didn't want to go until I told he should and I'd come with him." Superman put a finger to his ear and said, "I'll be right there." He looked at Charm, "I've got to go," and flew off. Superboy stared at Charm emotionlessly. "Um," M'gann said, "So, you had a question?" "Well, I asked Superman what I was supposed to do. I mean, I can't help but to do what I was made to do, right?" "Wrong," Superboy said, "We can help you. M'gann can remove any subconscious programming from your mind and the Young Justice League can give you a home." "It'll be great!" M'gann said, "You'll live in the Cave with Zatanna and me and we can be friends and play games and…" M'gann continued to ramble on about wonderful things they could do together. Superboy leaned a little closer and whispered, "I have a friend who found out recently that he was a Cadmus clone made to infiltrate the Justice League and turn them over to Vandal Savage. He was devastated afterwards. We haven't found him since, but I wouldn't wish that upon anyone. If I hadn't been found, I don't know what Luthor would have done with me, but it wouldn't have been good. We want to help you, Charm. "Ok," Charm said, catching M'gann's attention, "I'll do it. Take out all the stuff Luthor's put in my head." "Great!" M'gann said, "I'll tell Superman and then we'll head to the cave. A few seconds later, "Done! Let's go. I can levitate you both to the-," "Uh," Charm said, "Actually, I can fly." "You can?" Superboy said. She answered by floating above the deck a couple feet. "Ok," M'gann said, "I'll levitate Connor and you fly." As they flew out of the Fortress of Solitude, Charm couldn't help but think how well this was going, it was working like a charm.
