Chapter 9: Destiny
Odessa, Texas- Claire Bennett stared at the sight of herself as she had jumped off the edge of the construction site. She was born with a gift, an unusual gift of spontaneous regeneration, to heal her body instantly, as if she had never been injured. She was 16, pretty and didn't have a boyfriend. The only friend she had was a gay guy she knew at school who truly understood what it was to be different. At least it seemed that way to her anyway. She replaced her leg into it's socket. It was the second time she had attempted it. She had spent her time running away from who she was. She had been a cheerleader at Union Wells high School in Odessa, Texas, adopted by the Bennett family at a really young age.
"Are you alright?" Her Friend asked as he had video taped her attempt to push her powers. She had landed on the ground only a few minutes ago and was walking around as if her leap from the construction site had not happened.
"Yes, I am. As always," She said bummed by the curse that her powers were. But she had to know. What were her limits...if she had any, that is. She then heard a rush of wind and a young man whom she did not know landed near her.
"Claire Bennett?" The Young man asked her as he landed. She nodded.
"I am called Kal-El. My name given to me by my adopted parents is Clark Kent," Clark said as he began to walk with her and her friend, Zack.
"What kind of a freaky name is that?" Zack said, suspicious.
"I am from another Galaxy and another planet that has since been destroyed. The planet is or was called Krypton. I live in Smallville, Kansas," Clark said.
"Wait a minute, I remember reading about that town. Some kinda meteor shower hit that town in '89 wasn't it?" Claire said as she stared at Clark.
"Yes. The Meteor shower hid my arrival to Earth. It was prophesied that I would come from a rain of fire. I need your help, Claire," Clark said.
"What for? I'm just an ordinary girl who-" Claire said but was interrupted by Clark.
"Who has an extraordinary gift of regeneration. I have only seen this in one man. A man the world believes to be dead. There is a woman who is here on this world who is an assassin who has some special gifts of her own. She is the evil mirror image of my half-sister. She killed a man named Lionel Luthor at the request of Lex Luthor. My cousin is fighting her now in Houston, Texas. I need your help in getting her away from a project that has implications for the whole world," Clark said.
"How do we stop it?" Claire asked. Clark just smiled.
"Grab my hand miss Bennett and I'll show you," Clark said. She did. He crouched and leaped into the air, and Clark Kent and Claire Bennett was gone. Zack just stared in awe. He then heard a deep voice behind him speak.
"I am looking for Kal-El of Krypton. Have you seen him?" The voice said. Zack turned around to see a dark skinned man with white eyes looking at him.
"He just left with my friend Claire for Houston. Who are you?" Zack asked.
"I am from Beyond your realm. You may call me the Beyonder. I have come to settle a conflict long and coming between this universe and the Mirror Universe. Thank you, my child," the dark skinned man said and he jumped into the air and he too was gone, but in pursuit of the Chosen One of Krypton.
