I gulp my saliva down "What did you say, mother?" She smiled weirdly "We got you another planet to rule. Earth? Your home, right?" I nod and look at Lena. She has an equal shocked expression. "All the armies are crushed. Every country has fallen. It is all ours, our banners are all around the world. So, son, or King I think it is time we bring you and your wife to your 'palace'. I think they call it the White house here? Your children will be brought to you shortly after that." The guards walk towards me. I look to Winn who looks scared but he gives me some sort of small nod "Mother, this is Winn. My adviser. Take him with us."
And with that we are off, taken away by kryptonians. Once at the White House they walk us to the oval office. Once arrived I see the president. Or ex president. I mouth 'I am sorry' to him and he just nods. I speak up "Bring this man to my old home with his wife and children." The guards surrounding him nod and bring him roughly away.
I sit down on the desk and look around... a couple of guards, Winn and Lena. "Guards please leave, I have something to discuss with my wife and adviser. Just stand outside by the door." They say something like 'Yes, your majesty' and leave the room. "Winn use it." He grabs a device from his pocket and turns it on. I put my hands on my ears from the high sound and yell something like "Come up with a plan quick."
Not five minutes later they are finished. A let out a relieved breath and smile again. "So, I hope you discussed all good things?" They nod "It is a wonder the guards didn't storm in." There is some snickering from Lena and Winn just sits down on a couch. "So the most important question of today. Does anybody know how to rule?" Lena bursts out laughing. Jup... my wife is probably stressed. "That's enough, honey. I know we are doing something impossible but we have to. Otherwise we can't take back what is ours." I mouth to her 'for humanity'.
She just stares at me, with this face of wow, okay. But finally smiles and gives me a small nod. I look around the desk for paper and find nothing. So I walk out the room where I instruct one of the guards to fetch me a pen and paper. I walk inside and say "We are officially fucked." "What now?"
"They are standing outside with eight fucking people. Jesus I am cussing like there is no tomorrow. Lena could we make that rule about my tongue brushing with soap again?" She just chuckles and agrees. "But I am getting my way to talk and make notes." Almost like clockwork there is a knock on the door and the guards drops the stuff off. Quick service. Good to know. "Winn, could you turn on the television. I think it is time we see what is happening in the world. Since this blitzkrieg."
Winn does as told and zaps from one channel to the other. It is a mess. Literally. The people are scared. Luckily no public executions. That would have been the hell, but every news outlet sends out the same stuff. "I could really use my laptop right now... for some problem with our employees." Winn points at the laptop on the desk "Is that enough? Using the laptop of the President"
I chuckle and take place on the chair. It is still logged in "Well here goes nothing." While I log in on our system to mail everybody, to make sure they are going to fight back, I say "It is quite strange, didn't we marry in equality? And now they address me as king and you more as my wife." I finally enter the Catco online work space "Well, I don't really care. If you see us as equals then that means we are." I nod and start my email 'Dear workers of Catco,
I am sorry for that life has to be this way. And you probably will think we are behind this. But we aren't. We don't want to be. We don't want to harm another human even when they are bad. But we have a request. One that may cost your life. Don't speak about it. Just write. Never, ever speak a word about it. Otherwise they will hear it. And I can't protect all.
But fight back. Don't give up on humanity. We will win, we will come back.
Greetings from Kyle Luthor. A fellow human, your equal.'
I quickly send it to everybody and say "I may or may not have done something truly smart." I turn around the laptop for them to read. A smile grows on their face with each word. Winn even comments "You may even be better than Cat Grant. Even though most of it is a complete lie."
"Yea, I think I have outdone myself. Now we just have to wait for them to take action. Lena, do you want one to all the employees of L-corp?" She nods and I stand up from the chair. I sign for her to sit down and walk to sit on one of the couches. "This is truly an awful place for an office. Way too much chance for death. It is almost as bad as Lena's since they apparently always want to kill her." I earn a chuckle from Winn and a mad gaze from Lena. "Wait... what happened to the D.K.A.? Are they alive?"
That moment the world faded. For me, not for everybody else. That white light was back. The girl stands in front of me again "I think I have had enough, Kyle. I will improve your life a bit more. Making it a bit the same as Kyle's." I nod and say "Thank you."
The light fades, and with it the girl. When I focus my eyes I again I see that I am on the ground. Lena is crouched in front of me. She looks confused and scared like hell when she speaks I hear something great. Even perfect "Kara, honey? Are you alright?" I nod and chuckle. It is good to be back.
