Hey there another update. Enjoy
Chapter Eight
Luthor Problems
Dr. Sanders had headed off to his office so that he could research something about Smallville, and quickly figured out why the name had sounded familiar.
It was the small town that had suffered against the meteor showers some years previously, and decided that he will head off to Smallville in hope to find the strange green rocks that Linda had spoken off and possibly study them and their functions to maybe see what had caused the mutation on the girl.
Lara paused in what she was doing hearing the smooth and powerful engine coming closer to the farm and instantly knew who it was.
Neil Luthor was coming over for a visit.
Lara had become accustomed with those visits, and her and Neil found themselves becoming friends. She was still amused by the idea and she wondered if Neil will be as friendly if he knew she was Supergirl?
She stepped out of the barn, and sure enough Neil's Mercedes had come to a stop in front of the house. The young man stepped out, glasses over his eyes with long sleeved shirt and pants.
He was dressed importantly as usual.
"Hello Neil," Lara greeted him, then, she noticed the hard expression on the young man's face.
"What is it?"
"Just having some problems at Luthorcorp," Neil said, "It would seem that dear Tess isn't having a lot of luck taking over my father's shoes."
"Oh," Lara said.
Neil chuckled, "I wonder what dear old dad would say about all of this. Probably tells me that I have to wrench the company from Tess's control."
Lara frowned.
"Why would he want that?"
"Because Tess is not a Luthor," Neil said, shaking his head, "Tell me Lara, do I look like a man to run a company."
Lara stared at him.
"Maybe not right now," she said, "But nothing I'm sure a little experience wouldn't fix."
Neil laughed.
"You always look to the positive of every opportunities," Neil told her, 'Maybe that's why you're such a good friend."
Lara smiled a little.
"So do you have a cell Lara?" Neil asked, "That, way I can just call you whenever."
Lara chuckled, "Actually…I don't."
Neil stared at her as if he couldn't believe what he'd just heard.
"Get in the car Lara," he said putting his glasses back on.
"What? Why?"
Neil smiled, "We're going to get you a cell phone."
Neil drove her toward Smallville's electronic store and the two stepped out of the car.
"You…You seriously going to buy me a cell phone," Lara asked him.
"I'm putting you on radar Lara," Neil said, "Think of it as a gift."
Lara stared at him.
"How am I even going to pay for it?"
"Lara, let me take care of it alright?"
"Fine," Lara said sighing.
A couple of minutes later, the two stepped out of the store, Lara carrying a cell phone box in her hands.
"Neil…"
"What?"
"Are you sure this is a phone, not an I-Pod?"
"It's a phone," Neil said sighing, and he stopped noticing something over Lara's shoulder, a flash of recognition crossing his face.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing," Neil said.
Lara glanced toward where Neil had looked and sure enough there was a guy across the road, which was looking in their direction, dressed in a suit. Lara used her X-ray vision, seeing the concealed gun within the man's coat, making her narrow her eyes at him.
"Lara let's go okay," Neil said, unlocking his car's door.
Lara did so and Neil got them back on the road. It was a tense silence in the car, and Lara saw Neil's knuckles whiten at how hard he was gripping the steering wheels.
"Neil, relax," Lara told him, "What's going on?"
"It's nothing for you to worry about Lara," Neil said, giving her a forced smile, "I'm just going to get you home and then take care of some business."
While they were on the road, they passed near the Smallville Mansion and Lara noticed that a car was there, hidden behind the bushes that surrounded the Mansion. It was thanks to her X-ray vision she was able to see it, and she wondered who it could be and why were they hiding. From the man who she had seen in the city and now a car hidden behind the Mansion, she had the feeling something bad was going to happen.
Neil dropped her off in front of her Farm, and with a nod he was turning back and heading back toward the Mansion. Lara knew they must be a reason he was acting so strange…and she was going to find out.
Neil drove back to the Mansion and parked his car in the driveway quickly getting out and making his way toward the front door when a voice stopped him.
"Neil Lionel Luthor."
The young man turned around. There standing was a man dressed in a black suit, his hair all slicked back.
"Tony," Neil answered, "What a surprise?"
"Not really a surprise since you knows we are here," Tony told him.
"Having me tailed…"
Tony pulled out a gun holding it straight to Neil's face.
"Stop bullshitting me Neil," Tony said, "Your father destroyed my business. Luthorcorp had been doing some pretty bad dealings and I' m fighting back, not cowering like the spineless assholes."
"Take the problem to my Father Tony," Neil told him.
"He is in jail, so I can't kill him there," Tony said, "But with your death…He'll learn to watch his back. Take him boys."
Two guys that Neil hadn't noticed took him from behind, one slamming a punch against his guts, dropping him down with a groan, cuffing his hands behind his back and pulling him into a big SUV that was parked there. Neil cursed himself for not having noticed it. The SUV got on the road, and Neil saw Tony pulling out his phone and dialing.
"What are you doing?"
"Checking on how things are going with your little girlfriend, we saw you with today."
Lara, Neil thought.
"You stay away from her," Neil snapped at him, "She had nothing to do with this…"
A punch was slammed into him again, making her groan in pain.
"Course she does," Tony grinned, "She is involved with you."
Tony had put the phone in his ear and slowly frowned.
"Not answering," he murmured, "Oh well, they must be having fun with the girl…"
Suddenly, there was a loud crash of something being dumped upon the roof of the SUV which slammed to a stop.
"What the fuck was that?" Tony said.
The driver got out of the car and was suddenly pulled out of sight with a yelp. Neil blinked, wondering who was doing this when the top of the car was ripped off.
A girl was there, hovering above them holding the car's hood over her head in only one hand. She had a red cape, red skirt and a blue top with the red diamond encasing the red S in a sea of yellow underneath it. It didn't take a genius to figure out who this girl was.
"Supergirl," Neil whispered.
"You know, I could hear you guys from across the town right," Supergirl told them with a raised eyebrow.
One of the guys beside Neil pulled out a machine gun and started unloading the bullets upon the girl of steel which were bouncing off her skin and ricochet off in other directions. Supergirl dropped the car hood and grabbed the guy out of his seat and threw him into the road which he falls hard on, knocked unconscious. Neil was suddenly grabbed from the back by Tony and had a gun pointed at the young Luthor's head. Supergirl noticed this and narrowed her eyes.
"You stay away from us okay," Tony said, "One move and I blow his head right off."
"Why do you want to kill him?" Supergirl asked.
"His father ruined my business…"
There was a whooshing sound, and before Neil could blink, Supergirl had removed Tony and his hand's restrains. The next second, Tony was on the ground unconscious with his hand tied behind his back.
"You're alright?"
Neil turned toward the Supergirl who glanced at him, and he frowned slightly, seeing at how familiar the face was.
"I'm fine," he answered curtly.
"Police should be here any minutes," Supergirl continued, "Gotta fly."
"There is a girl," Neil started, "she was…"
"The farm girl," Supergirl said, "She's fine…she is the one that told me that you might be in danger…look like she was right. I'll see you around, Neil Luthor."
With that the girl of steel took off into the air with a whooshing sound as Neil stood there watching her zoom up toward a direction as he looked at the red dot becoming smaller and smaller as it flew in the distance.
Hope that was good.
