Chapter 10: Clark Kent: Superman

Clark stepped out of the room wearing a costume with a cape. On the chest of the costume, was the family crest of the House of El. The symbol was an octagonal shape with a stylized S within that Octagonal shape. The shape was a red color. The rest of the costume was like a body suit but was colored blue. The cape that flowed behind him, attached to the costume was red. On part of that cape was the octagonal shape that was the House crest of the family of El. Around Clark's waist was a gold belt and on his feet were red boots. Clark stared at Trinity and then Jor-El and then Chloe.

"Glad Lois isn't here," Chloe said as she eyed her friend. Trinity turned and looked at Chloe with an amused grin on her face.

"Lois doesn't like Clark remember? She'd figure Clark out really fast," Trinity said.

"How long did it take me to find out about Clark? And no offense, although Alicia set it up, I long had my suspicions about your gifs," Chloe said. Claire stared at them.

"What are you going to call yourself, Clark. You can't use your birth name but you have to keep it mysterious, to avoid people knowing who you are," She said.

"Like when you called yourself the healer?" Clark said as he moved to a nearby computer screen and appeared a holographic mirror in which he stared intently at his image.

"Well you've got super powers and you're a man. Superman?" Trinity suggested. Jor-El stared at the friends of Clark Kent.

"My friends, that is good, but how do we conceal Kal-El from the rest of the world? Kal-El must have a normal life with you, his friends. He needs normalcy. Although he was from a planet that is technologically advanced than Earth, but even the people of the great civilization of Krypton needed normalcy to live their lives. Tell me, Sullivan, who is the phantom Zone Escapee?" Jor-El said. Chloe sat down at the computer and recalled the video link that they had received shortly after they had arrived to Battleworld.

"I recognize him," Jor-El said as he saw the crystallized face of the duplicate of Clark Kent.

"Who is he?" Clark said.

"Experiment 146. He was designed as an answer to General Zod. Zod caused an insurrection on your homeworld," Jor-El said.

"I've faced General Zod," Clark said. Jor-El nodded at the memory. He had aided his son in that battle between General Zod and Kal-El, but the battle had been Kal-El's alone.

"And we both know how that battle ended, My Son. You nearly lost your life fighting against General Zod and the alien Visitors that he betrayed and he died at your hands. Experiment 146 is a warrior where as General Zod was a soldier. If you think Zod was tough the being who calls himself Bizarro will be worse, my Son," Jor-El said.

"If I am to be Kal-El, then I must become more than a man. I can remember Lana asking me what was I? Was I man or superman? I had answered at the time that I wasn't sure yet. Now I know. I am both. The terrans had a messiah who was much more than a man. I came from a world greater than Earth in terms of technology. But the human spirit and their need for salvation makes Earth far superior than Krypton. I am Kal-El of Krypton, my Father and I am ready to accept my destiny. When I saved Chloe when she came to the Fortress, you said my destiny was much more than to save more than one human life. I will battle Lex Luthor and his team to save a planet," Clark said.
