Chapter 11: Restoration
Dr. Emil Hamilton stared at Kal-El as he was in the chamber. He had been cryo-frozen in stasis at a LuthorCorp Sleeping cylinder by Tess Mercer at some point in the past and had been revived by the future version of Trinity Jean Knight and had become the Doctor for the Justice League, and had locked onto Kal-El's DNA signature and had transported him via the Fortress of Solitude where Clark's team was. Clark's team had been comprised of Trinity Jean Knight, Hannah Melvin and Clark himself. Hannah had been bringing up Clark's Kryptonian DNA to try to override the kryptonite. Dr. Emil had injected Kal-El with the Purple Kryptonite, but now Kal-El's powers had to be to be restored, but the purple Kryptonite had the double edged response of knocking him out.
Dr. Hamilton stared at Hannah as she was trying to lock onto Alyssa Drake who had drugged Kal-El with a Kryptonite concoction that his body had been stripped of his powers. Hannah stared at Kal-El and had been praying for him.
"So any news from Clark?" Dr. Hamilton asked. She stared at her iPhone and stared at the text message from Clark. She then stared at the video link that was sent via a text. She had linked her iPhone to the Fortress control panel. She touched the video and through it up to the holographic projector. It was Lionel Luthor's DNA strands…It was exact except the fact that it would be over the exact DNA strands from Lionel Luthor that lived in the 20th Century.
"A genetic clone," Hannah said disgusted. "Are you sure," Dr. Hamilton asked. She nodded.
"I saved Lionel's original DNA when Jor-El had created his body exactly from Lionel's body," Trinity Jean Knight said.
"What did Jor-El do? Save it into the Fortress the database?" Hannah asked. Trinity nodded. She had wondered how the video had matched Lionel Luthor.
"This DNA match came from 1989. A Kandorian who had lived here was a doctor in Metropolis back shortly before the Meteor Shower. This doctor had taken blood from Lionel Luthor and handed it to an assistant to Jor-El as Jor-El was creating his body. Both the Kandorian and Jor-El who was inhabiting a businessman at the time had decided to replicate Lionel Luthor's body so exactly that no one could tell he's Alien. But what is this Lionel? Is He a Mirror Universe resident?" Trinity asked. Hannah shook her head no.
"No, this is pure genetic matching, but the decay from being cloned happens when you keep cloning…Lionel has been doing this and doing this and from what I can tell, the longer you keep cloning the same DNA it affects everything…Lionel & Lex won't survive anymore cloning. The difference with Clark Luthor is that the Kryptonian DNA can stand up to genetic replication like cloning," Dr. Emil Hamilton said as he studied the DNA markers.
"How can you be so sure?" Hannah asked.
"Because it's what Lionel did," Spoke up a voice that only Kal-El would know. The voice of Alyssa Drake. They all turned to see Clark Kent and Alyssa standing there.
"You've seen the cloning chamber?" Emil asked. She nodded. "That was one of Lionel's best kept secrets until your team in the past destroyed it. I have recorded documentation that Clark Luthor is in fact a clone. A cloned hybrid of Lex Luthor's DNA and Clark Kent's Kryptonian DNA. The problem with Lex is that his mind is unstable. The Meteor Shower that hit Smallville unleashed the darkness in him but it sat in the corners of his mind all those years since, and apparently when Lionel revealed his cloning labs to Lex He went over the edge. He killed Lionel, but Lionel had started a clone of himself, unknown to his son. Lionel took the cloned body that Jor-El made and removed the Kryptonian DNA. The vigilante Registration Act would have prevented anybody from having powers," Alyssa said.
"So wait a minute…if we can prove Ultraman is a clone then does that mean we can end the VRA?" Hannah asked. Clark nodded.
"So instead of us waiting for Ultraman to come out into the open, let's get him to reveal himself," Alyssa said.
"How do we do that, Ms. Drake?" Dr. Hamilton asked. Clark nodded.
"It's simple. We do a debate between Clark Kent & Clark Luthor. That will surely drag Ultraman's secret out…It'll also reveal Clark Kent's secret out as well," Trinity said.
"Wait a minute, Trinity. Doesn't the World already know Superman?" Dr. Hamilton asked.
"Yes, but Superman hasn't been around for centuries. What was the event that sparked my Brother to reveal himself," Trinity asked. Alyssa pulled out an access card. She then swiped the card onto a laptop computer that was much smaller than the modern ones from the early 21st Century.
"I took the liberty of gaining access to The Daily Planet's Historical database. According to this, Superman was revealed when Darkseid came to Earth. He protected Earth despite the VRA's was being enacted during your time period. I think if Superman reveals himself it might inspire hope instead of fear," Alyssa pointed out.
"Let's do it," Trinity said. Clark watched as Kal-El stepped out of the chamber.
"Are you all right?" Clark asked. Kal-El stared at him. He shook his head no.
"We must become one in order for our powers to be completely restored," Kal-El said. Both men who were the same closed their eyes and in a couple seconds Superman stood in civilian clothing where two men formerly stood.
Clark began to tug at his tie, and rip open his shirt to reveal the House of El symbol that was on his Superman costume. Alyssa placed her hand on his chest and said, "no, Clark. Not yet," She smiled.
"How do we do this then?" Clark said. Trinity smiled.
"I have a plan and it will require you separating yourself again. Let's go and stop this man before He gives us Heroes more trouble," She said. She held out her hand. Dr. Hamilton laid his hand on top, then Hannah, then Clark. Then Alyssa.
"I will keep this super hero team going after you're gone. I'm ready to put this liaison with the Luthor family behind me," Alyssa said. They nodded.
