A few hours later Clark woke up with a splitting headache last thing he remembered was Chloe punching him with a green kryptonite ring? He got angry that she would do something like that. He raced home and walked inside going to take a shower. Trying to forget last night. After taking a marathon shower he walked downstairs to get some of his moms' famous apple pie. Kal felt alive no regrets no worries, he had the world was in the palm of his hand. His super hearing picked up on his mom driving up the road deciding he didn't want to be there when she came in. speeding out of there he ended up at the talon. After ordering his usual he turned around and came face to face with Lana.
"Clark hi" Lana said the weirdness settling in Clark just looked at her reliving old times till he saw the ring on her finger then disgust took over him. He grabbed his drink and started to walk away "Mrs. Luthor" Clark replied "Clark please can we just talk I just want things between us to be like before" Lana grabbed his hand and turned him around "well you should off thought of that before you got in bed with the devil" Clark started walking away again "Clark that's not fair" Lana said running after him "that's not fair! You know what's not fair I confess my love for you and you say you're going not go through with it then I wait for you at the barn and turns out you were playing me I come to the church and there you are I guess I should of known your already a Luthor!" Clark gave her a look of disgust. "Speak of the devil" Clark referred to the fact that Lex was walking up to them "there you are I've was wondering what was keeping you now I see why" Lex gave Clark that famous Luthor look. "How is Lois?" Lex asked, "I wouldn't know." Clark replied as he walked away "another failed relationship I see you might want to consider switching teams Clark" Lex shot at him. Clark stopped and turned around he felt the red k doubling through his system he wanted to use his heat vision on Lex but decided not to "hey Lex I got a question for you?"
"What is it?"
"How does it feel to know that Lana was going leave you for me on your wedding day?" Clark said with a smirk and walked away leaving Lex and Lana sitting there shocked." I've waited a long time to say that" Clark thought "serves them right who do they think they are I don't need them I don't need anybody not Lana not Chloe not Lois not even this town. I think it's time Kal makes a return to being the king of metropolis.
Daily Planet
"I can't believe Clark would act like that Chloe who does he think he is treating me like that?" Lois said as she was pacing back and forth in front of Chloe's desk "I know Lois I can't believe it either but he wasn't himself." Chloe replied as she was trying to get the article done. "So what did someone take over his body?" suddenly Chloe's phone rang "Chloe Sullivan oh hi Mrs. Kent what's going on? "No I haven't seen him in a couple days." suddenly Chloe drops the phone "Chloe what's wrong?" Lois asked. Chloe looks at her and says the two words she last excepted to hear Clark's missing." those two words rang through Lois head trying to coming to terms she drops to her knees and the tears start to fall hard.
Watchtower
"There has been eight
bank robberies' over the last two months in metropolis." Ollie
said as he was informing the team "so what's that got to do with
us I thought we were looking for Clark that is what Chloe asked us to
do." Bart said "it has everything to do with our mission first
take a look at the vault pictures" Ollie said as he turned on the
viewer bringing up the vault pictures "as you noticed this isn't
a normal robbery the vault door has been completely ripped off with a
arm sized hole in the middle where the keypad is." The whole team
stared in ah "so you think boy scout did this?" victor asked
"looks that way except from what Chloe told me about Clarks last
rampage in metropolis he was sloppy from the evidence I got at the
robberies there was no forced entry no broken doors the floor motion
sensors didn't go off I can't explain how he got in there."
Ollie replied, "He flew" Bart replied. "He what?" The
rest of the team asked ⌠he flew he knows how to fly at least now he
does he flew once before but he wasn't himself if Chloe is right
and he is on red k he has no fears usually he doesn't like heights
that is why he doesn't try. It's the only explanation for this a
clean entry and I don't think he is that good with hacking
systems." Bart replied, "Will let's factor that in it would
explain a lot on how he does it." A.C. replies, "I know that A.C
I've been throwing together a list of next possible targets and
from the information I got from my link in Gotham I think I know
where he is going hit next." Ollie pulls up the next screen "how
is the flying rodent doing" Cyborg asked "Bats aren't rodents."
a dark growling voice said a dark figure steeping out of the shadow
Bart jumped when he heard the voice "Batman you always got to do
that?" Bart asked still calming down. Batman turned to Bart
and gave him a menacing look "from the information you gave me you
guys are going need all the help you can get." batman said.
"What
it to you bats?" Bart said "Lois lane" batman replied "how do
you know Lois" Ollie and A.C. ask "she saved me once a long time
ago I talked to her a couple days ago and found out she knows Clark."
"Well that explains it. Let's get suited up." Ollie tells the
team. Batman throws a package on the table. "What's that?" Bart
asks "Insurance" batman replies in a cold menacing voice.
First bank of metropolis midnight
"Arrow to league
position check?" Ollie asked "affirmative green arrow downloading
security codes and floor plans now" Cyborg replied "securing the
area" impulse replied "on the building across the way watching
the roof top" batman said in his usual voice Ollie turned to A.C.
"I hate when he does that" referring to batman voice "alright
listen up league from the information batman got boy scout should be
here any minute when he does arrive move in but don't deliver the
package until ordered. First impulse try and snatch the necklace if
that doesn't work Cyborg were going need you to try and restrain
him. My arrows won't work against Boy Scout so we have to think on
our feet. We all know how strong he is just be careful" "batman
to green arrow, boy scout has arrived and impulse theory is right"
"alright it's show time Cyborg shut down the security systems"
Ollie said over the communicators "system shut down" Cyborg
replied "alright impulse move in" Suddenly Bart took off running
inside towards Clark he got within a foot of him when Clark quickly
turned around and grabbed him and threw him.
"Impulse report
impulse come in" Bart tried to get up but he was to groggy after
going through a table "move in repeat move in its going be harder
than we thought" Clark turned to Bart "how cute Bart trying to
stop me but you don't realize" Clark grabs Bart by the throat and
gets ready to punch him "no one can stop me" "wrong Kent!"
Cyborg came out of nowhere and speared Clark through the office
wall.
Both of them got up "nice hit Cyborg but it's going be
your last one!" "We will see about that Kent" they ran towards
each other Cyborg catching Clark with a quick uppercut then a body
shot hoping that it would do some damage but it only moved a Clark a
inch at most. Clark threw a right and connected with Cyborg sending
flying through the roof.
"Finally no more interruptions" he
started walking back to the vault to finish the job when he heard
"sorry to disappoint you" a cruel voice said behind Clark he
turned around and the last thing he saw was a fist connecting with
his face before blackness took over.
Few hours later Watchtower
"uhhhh my head!"
Clark said as he slowly opened his eyes starting to get up. Looking
around he started to recognize his surroundings he was in the
watchtower. How did he get here? "Wakey wakey boy scout" Clark
turned and Oliver was standing behind him "Oliver what happened?"
Clark pondered, "You don't remember anything not the whole last
month rampage through metropolis?" Oliver asked "the what?"
Clark stopped in the middle everything coming back to him he reached
for his neck and felt the necklace gone. "What have I done"
"oh about eight bank robberies, a month of wild nights, and a
couple club fights not to mention the damage in Smallville and Lois"
Oliver told Clark "it was the red k" Clark got up walking to the
window "was it Kent from what I heard you out it on yourself"
victor said as he walked up Clark noticed that his ribs and left
shoulder was tapped up "you have one hell of a punch" "so do
you didn't think you could knock me out" Clark replied "oh that
wasn't me Kent" victor replied "then who was it?" Clark
wondered A figure stepped out of the shadows behind Clark "it was
me" Clark turned to the voice seeing a man in a black rubber suit
his face was cold and full of anger his chest donned a symbol of a
bat.
"Clark Kent meet batman" Oliver introduced them both
"batman? Heard you were a myth?" Clark inquired "don't
believe everything you hear Clark wouldn't believe you existed if I
hadn't seen you in action" "how did you knock me out" Batman
showed Clark a pair of black gloves laced with green lines "my new
invention special made gloves with the meteors from Smallville"
Clark walked to the other end of the room trying not to get exposed
to the kryptonite "who told you about that?" Clark asked
getting angry "Chloe Clark I don't know what happened to get you
like that but I suggest you take care of the problem you can't just
run away from your family. Your mom has been holding on by a thread
Chloe has been pulling been pulling double time at the planet and
here and Lois has barely been talking and its Lois" "Lois"
Clark whispered and closed his eyes thinking about all the good times
and bad times with her. Clark eyes flew open and he was floating
"thanks guys" He said as he welded his mind to take him higher
and faster finally Clark Kent was flying. He flew high and fast
heading through the skies breaking the sound barrier finally he lands
in front of a familiar building he walks in and runs upstairs and
knocks on the door. He hears a voice "come in" Clark slowly opens
the door and walks in he see Lois her back is turned to him "took
you long enough thought you weren't going come" "Lois" Lois
froze recognizing that voice She turned around and stared at him not
believing he was there she walked up to him Suddenly the door opened
"hey Lois sorry were late but jimmy" Chloe froze dead in her
tracks. Clark looked at Chloe and she knew what he was doing "but
jimmy left his stuff at his house we got to go back see you later
bye" and ran out "Lois" "get out!" she replied "please
let me explain" Clark replied "please your explaining is old
news" Lois said and pushed Clark towards the door but he wouldn't
move she started pounding on his chest and breaking down crying "I
love you Lois I'm sorry" She looked up at him and Clark closed
the distance and kissed her like never before but its Lois lane of
course she does forget that easy. She pushed Clark away "you love
me! You love me! If you really love me you wouldn't of left me or
your family Chloe the farm I don't even know you" she ran out the
door down the stairs and out into the street she stopped and went
into shock as a car came flying at her she thought this is how it's
going end. The car came closer and closer the guy not seeing her as
he was drinking she closed hers eyes and braced for the oncoming
death but all she heard nothing. She opened her eyes and she was
shocked to see she was in the katache caves in Clark's arms. "What
just happened? Why are we here?" Clark then put here down
"I ran us here, your right Lois you don't know me, the true me that is, that is why were here."
Noticing the shocked look on her face he continued.
"Haven't you ever wondered where the meteor rocks came from and why did they decide to strike down in Smallville"?
" I just figured they were part of a asteroid belt or something" Lois replied "where are you going with this Clark"
"I found out a few years ago that those rocks belonged to a planet named krypton it was located in the furthest of the known twenty three galaxies. There lived a civilization more advanced than we could ever imagine; Instead of tall skyscrapers they built their buildings out of crystal. They have mastered time travel and they were peaceful race until one of their own betrayed them."
"How do you know all this Clark" Lois asked
" Well sit down its a long story, you see this one Kryptonian named Zod wanted to rule the world and started a civil war that lasted years. Eventually he was stopped; by a man named Jor-El he was krypton top scientist; he was the one that lead the battle in which the Great War was stopped and captured general Zod. But it was too late for the planet not so long after Zod was sentenced to the phantom zone the planet began to break down and start to implode. Jor-el seeing this he tried to convince the counsel of elders but they were a narrow-minded bunch. They told Jor-el that the planet was perfectly fine and made him swear that nor him or his wife Lara would not to leave the planet. The high counsel had doomed him to his death."
"Clark how do you know all this if this el-el died when the planet exploded"
"Jor-el had a son, you see the counsel forgot about that tiny detail. While he was a man of his word he never promised that his son would stay. So he built a ship for his son to come here for some reason he picked out earth for his son to live among us. He even left the caves and among other things for his son on earth. His son is supposed to be the savior for man kind." Clark rubbed his eyes " I know this has been a long story but it's worth telling. Kal-el is the most important thing that will happen to all of us only if he can accept his destiny in time"
"So where is he."
Clark walked over to the wall and turned around looking Lois in the eye and stretched out his hand and asked her one simple question "do you trust me?"
"Yes" Lois replied
Clark then punch in the code to activate the portal to the fortress; a blinding light enveloped them
" What's going on Clark" Lois yelled
A second later they were in the fortress. Lois opened her eyes not believing what she was seeing
"I know this place this is heaven" Lois said while taking everything in.
"No Lois this is my fortress of solitude" Clark replied walking away from her to the crystal console
"Huh yours"
Picking up a crystal from the console he turned around "I'm Kal-el the last son of krypton"
