CyberTech Worlds Clash
Chapter XXXVI
Alien to the World
Clark Kent was dressed in a neat brown-beige suit with black rimmed glasses. He was walking beside Harry, the young man was wearing an expensive looking black suit that looked like it was the sort of thing that would cost a man three months wage easily, and Clark thought that even though Harry was minus the jacket. Harry wore his white shirt with the sleeves rolled up just above his elbows, and shiny black shoes that would probably cost another months wage.
Clark found himself curious about the strange white marking on Harry's neck and behind his ear, peaking up through his shirt ass the top two buttons were undone, as it was a bright and sunny afternoon. That was tech on a level far above normal humans. They walked up the dirt road to the large farmhouse up ahead. However, Clark didn't want to pry; he already knew roughly that it contained Harry's powers, but even comparing that kind of tech, or even the android girl with alien technology they had seen, it was aweing, and most likely in some areas more advanced.
The android had been left on the Watch Tower as she was running some cross-dimensional scans and research to try and get more information on their situation. Though, she would keep the Martian Manhunter company as he worked with her and didn't do out much these days since there were plenty enough heroes to go around, Justice League or not.
"So… this is where you grew up?" Harry asked as they had been too quiet for too long. "I've never stayed at a farm before."
Clark smiled. "I have some great memories in this town, and working on the farm," he said looking proud. "B-but since dad passed away, I had to pick up some slack and help mum out. But, super speed, super strength, so I can't exactly complain. Though, it is easier now since Kara's been staying with mum, she can do anything I used to have to do."
"Kara?" Harry asked in curiosity.
"Yeah," he answered with a smile. "She's my cousin. She's only been on Earth for around a year, and she's just turned seventeen – she was in a form of suspended animation on-board her ship before she crashed here, but it malfunctioned, so she aged a few years, but luckily the ship kept her alive; she's technically ten or eleven years older than me, and I worry you know, but luckily Kryptonian's are somewhat smart enough – well – they were an intelligent and highly advanced race, so she's doing well catching up mentally. She and I aren't exactly the last of our kind… it just seems that way as the others are… well, some of them are in the Phantom Zone… oh, right, you don't know what that is. It is a… pocket dimension created to be a prison by my people for the worst kind of scum in the universe."
"How has she been settling in?" he asked sympathetically. "I know it can be hard, especially on Earth as its always changing, and its cultures vast and always moving and new pop culture's come and go all the time. We haven't advanced enough to slow down any time soon, and we are humans, so even then I wouldn't expect us too."
"Tell me about it," he growled lowly in his throat, startling Harry. "I think she's finally started noticing… 'boys'," he growled out even more clenching his fists. "She had been about eleven when she was put into a deep stasis sleep on her ship, and when she crashed she was sixteen, and now she has had long enough to grow into herself more mentally – and I don't know how to deal with that as she can still be quite naive-."
"Whoa man, calm down," Harry said laughingly patting the man's forearm. "I'm sure it's nice that you care that much, but as the saying goes, 'the heart wants what the heart wants', and teenagers tend to what to do the opposite of what the adults say is against the rules. You'll have to suffer the fury of a pissed off super strong girl who you'll be too soft to defend yourself against. I'm sure if you're the cool supportive big 'brother' she'll be more likely to talk to you about… whatever, and you'll be able to be there for her," he said shrugging.
Clark sighed while rubbing his eyes under his glasses. "I know, but… I worry, you know. She doesn't seem to understand many humans, or human things; maybe you could talk with her."
"I'm twenty-five," he answered with a frown. "But I do age slower than normal humans because of my powers, so I apparently look younger. I suppose if something was brought up, I can talk with her, it could be easier since I'm not family, but she might be more open to someone younger."
"Thanks, I would ask other members of the League, Titans, or Young Justice," he said shrugging sheepishly. "But all of her girlfriends… well, they…" he trailed off and Harry nodded that he understood. "And the boys… well; they're boys so they're pretty useless."
"Hey, don't worry about it, man," he answered with a grin. "At least you didn't have to deal with this while she was younger like normal girls. You know, twelve, thirteen plus… well, I guess all girls are different like boys are, but…"
Clark blushed a little and quivered at the thought of trying to deal with this if she was younger and more hormonal. "Yeah, I see your point; I remember how confused and vicious she was when she first got to her after the crash. I wonder if dad felt like this while dealing with me, mum always seemed so much more in control, but he still managed to fake being calm."
Harry laughed shaking his head as he patted the older man's shoulder just as they came to a stop outside of the Kent farmhouse. "Don't worry too much, mate, just go with the flow and everything will fall into place eventually."
"Thanks," he chuckled as he opened the house front door and led Harry in.
Harry closed the door behind him as he looked around as Clark called out for his mother and cousin. He had never been in such a homely house, and it made him feel a little crappy that he never grew up in a loving home like this.
"Clark!" an older woman cried out with a huge smile as she came down from upstairs giving her son a hug. She had greying auburn hair and that motherly vibe as she pulled away from the hug. She smiled at Harry. "You must be Mr. Avalon…"
"Please, my name's Harry," he answered smilingly. "Mr., is for people I don't like, or those who just foolishly refuse to call me by my first name, but I'm sure we'll get along brilliantly. Plus, you have been so kind as to let me stay here for a short while."
"Well, Harry, it's a pleasure to have you," she said shaking his hand. "You're welcome to stay as long as you need. I'll be making dinner soon, Clark will you be staying?"
"Sorry mum, but I can't stay. I have some… Superman business to take care of," he answered kissing her cheek. "Then I have a report on Star City's disappearance, and Lois will kill me if I stand her up again."
"Okay, dear," she said smiling as he bid them both farewell and left in a blast of super-speed. "Well, Harry I think I'll get started with dinner, why don't you go and find Kara. I'm sure she'll want to meet you."
"Oh, sure… so where can I find her?" he asked with a smile.
She returned his smile. "I think she's in the barn out back."
"Okay, Ms. Kent," he replied as he headed off. He found the backdoor and walked a little until he just entered the huge barn out back. He loved the place, so much space, open up. It was why his buildings in London, New York, and Tokyo were so open plan, and the only reason he had such a large office.
"Come on… just a kiss, and a feel." Harry started as he heard a male voice and frowned.
"Why… I don't understand what purpose it serves." The female voice replied softly.
Harry walked around a huge desk in his way to see a stunning blonde-haired-girl, her blue eyes looking confused as some bulky muscled guy was on top of her on the floor trying to connect his lips to hers. It looks like he didn't have the courage to try groping her yet, but she was holding him away by his shoulders and looked like she might shove him away any second and likely hurt him.
"I suggest you get off of her now before I call the cops!" Harry growled out angrily. He has always hated pricks like him who tried to take advantage of someone's ignorance and naivety. "Or better yet, stay and I'll take your head," he added as he grabbed an axe from the many large tools on wall racks.
The boy was quick to scramble to his feet looking panicked. "I umm… I err… sorry," he whimpered out.
Harry just continued to glare more swishing the axe around his hand, only briefly noting Kara still on the ground looking baffled. "If you come near her again fucktard, I'll use this axe on your… little you," he hissed, which caused the boy to pale more and nod his head vigorously and ran out of the barn; it seemed like seconds later that a car screeched off.
"Who are you?" the blonde girl asked as she finally climbed up to her feet, her beautiful blue eyes scanning him up and down in curiosity.
Harry looked to her, his cheeks lighting a little. Her blonde hair is light and down to the middle of her shoulder blades, tied back out of her eyes, and she was about a head and half shorter than him. She wore some silver framed glasses over her crystal blue eyes. She was wearing a pair of tight blue jeans that hugged her firm tight butt, and a white long sleeve top that hugged her body loosely, but he could still make out her muscles and the slight outline of a white bra. She was just wearing some white converse trainers on what he just knew were perfect small, slender feet. Her hands were small, and he could tell deceptively delicate looking with perfect nails. She had a small nose, and slim pouty lips painted red with light shadowing over her eyes. Her bust was a nice size, firm, and noticeable. Harry had never been one to care too much about bust size, but hers was big, but not overly so, as they fit perfectly.
Harry swallowed the lump in his throat and tried not to stare. She was looking at him so intensely, continually scanning up and down his body and looking along the white marking she could see on his skin. He could tell that though she didn't seem to realize it she was appraising him, in other words checking him out, and from the beautiful smile that crossed her lips seemed to like what she saw, so he couldn't help but gulp.
"Oh, right," he spoke out as he realized they had been staring at each other and she was still waiting for an answer, but with a butt and bust as great as hers - and face - and body - well, he could stare at her for a long time. "I'm Harry Avalon, a friend of your cousins. I'll be staying here for a while. You're Kara Kent, right?" She nodded. "I hope you didn't mind that I chased that guy off," he said chuckling nervously as he put the axe back on the wall.
"It's okay," she answered, her lovely smile still in place. "I didn't really want him touching me. Ms. Kent has told me that I should enjoy a boys company and that a boy should treat me like…" she trailed off in thought.
"That you're special?" he asked to her surprise, she nodded. "Well, she's right… you shouldn't just give up something like your fist kiss to some jerk who pushes it on you like him, or your first lovers touch… or… whatever," he smiled as he got a blush out of her, and tried to hold his own in.
"Umm… well, thanks I guess," she answered impishly. "Are you going to share my room, or use Clark's since he doesn't live here?"
Harry laughed and let a grin slid onto his lips. "Though, I think I would like to share with a beauty like you." She blushed but looked pleased by his compliment. "Clark said I'll stay in his old room before he started staying out here in the Barn. Boys and girls don't normally sleep together unless they…"
"Love each other," she answered nodding. "Ms. Kent told me that, but I still don't really understand…" she trailed off for a moment. "Oh, Ms. Kent's calling us to wash up for dinner." Harry just looked at her baffled and she grinned showing off here perfect pearly white teeth. "I have super-hearing. I can always notice when someone calls either of my names, Clark did earlier, but I was around someone who doesn't know I'm Supergirl."
"Well, allow me to escort you to dinner, Miss. Kent," he said grinning as he offered his hand out to her. She smiled and took it. She surprisingly held his right hand very softly. Her skin was smooth, like velvety silk; perfect.
He led her back out of the barn and into the house, into the kitchen where Harry was surprised by the delicious smell of Ms. Kent's home cooked meal. She smiled at them both before sending them off to separate washrooms, Kara upstairs, and Harry down to wash up for dinner and Harry could barely wait.
Harry returned first and Ms. Kent showed him to his spot at the head of the table. "So… Ms. Kent, you wanted me to get rid of that boy, Kara was with. I feel both used and satisfied to throw the… guy out."
"Sorry," she replied sheepishly. "But I don't like that boy. He's not good enough for Kara… no ambition or brains. Though, compared to you or other heroes he can't even compete to have much Braun either…"
She stopped speaking as Kara returned from upstairs and sat next to Harry smiling at him as Ms. Kent started dishing out some beef and chicken stew with some buttered bread. The three of them sat back and ate while talking. Harry told them some about his world, and they went and told him about theirs in return.
They then went on to jokingly compare the worlds and enjoyed their time together before they settled down. Kara wanted to watch a movie and 'forced' Harry to watch it with her on the couch while Ms. Kent retired to her room to read a book and get some rest.
"Hmm… I am curious," Harry said as they settled down together on the same couch opposite the TV. "I wonder whether your Matrix movie is different to mine."
She laughed as she pressed select on the DVD players' remote control. "Well, you'll soon find out. I love these movies. I bet we can watch all three, tonight," she said smiling as it started.
Harry couldn't help but grin. It's not every day he meets a girl who loves the same kind of movies as him. It would be halfway through the second movie that he realized he had his arm around her as she hand hers around his waist cuddling with him with her check on his chest as they watched. Normally he would be averse because she's so much younger than him, but right now he couldn't bring himself to care as they were just friends.
It was humbling how gentle she was with him, knowing how strong she was. He had promised to look out for Kara, and it wasn't like they were doing anything. He often sat with his sister and Ginny while watching movies together.
He held back a sigh wondering what the next day would bring but knew one thing. The Earths were going to get so screwed up in the next three years. On the other hand, at least they'll both become a very different interesting, and he had a new several billion potential customers.
Harry smiled as he realised that Kara had fallen asleep as he arms tightened just a little on him, but he could manage as his improvements allowed for him to be stronger than the average human.
Meanwhile, the City of Dakota was not having the good night Harry was as explosions racked the city streets, shaking the roads, car alarms blurring, and patrons to the nightlife were screaming and pouring out of bars, clubs and pubs as cars blew up, and the early night was lit up, and people screamed as a mechanical roar shook the city windows of several dark office buildings.
"Aw, man, what the heck is that?" Static was a young black man with his hair in a spaghetti like braid with black mask around his eyes and dark blue glasses on his forehead and a black tee with yellow lightning bolt in a circle, and dark blue trousers and boots with a long blue coat with yellow details, and floating on a thin metal disk that was sparking with purple electricity.
"I think it's a robot dinosaur!" his partner Gear said. He was wearing tight lime and white with a mechanical backpack strapped to his back. Then he was wearing a helmet and shield over his face while he hovered next to his partner using rocket skates. "A robot Tee-Rex, to be more accurate – or a small Mechagodzilla – in blacks rather than more silvery metal colours-."
"Yeah," Static interrupted as they split up and moved as rounds of automatic canon fire flew their way. "And it is armed to the high heavens!" he yelled as its tail cut into the side of a building.
Static didn't wait for a reply to that as he needed to do something, so he flew in, shooting blasts of purple electricity from his gloved hand, smashing into the huge dino-bot thing and dodging beams of lasers from beam things either side of its face. He span and flipped, flying upside down as he fired a beam blast of purple lightning and one after the other, he cut the lasers off the massive machine where they crunched down to the ground at the things feet.
Throwing a few shock grenades, Static fell back while Gear tried to get closer and attempt to hack the machine using his robot backpack, Backpack. However, he froze as a side canon aimed at him and fired from the things leg joint. Gear thought he was dead when out of nowhere a large green dome of energy pulled up around him and took the shots while a brown-haired man floated down in front of Gear within the dome and wearing a green and black outfit with a green glow.
"You okay, kid?" Hal asked while Gear could only nod readily in agreement as his heart re-start. "You didn't build this, did you, because Seraph is adamant that she has never seen anything like it either?"
"Yeah, I don't build war machines!" Gear said sheepishly.
It was with that that the machine collapsed down into the side of a building leaving Superman floating behind it with pieces of metal crumbling from a large engine core he tore out of the machines back.
Superman placed his fee hand to the earpiece in his right ear. "Yes, thank you Seraph, is this-?"
"No," she replied. "That's nothing like my energy core. Its not our technology. I can contact Stark, and see if he knows anything, but cybernetics are Harry's forte. But we have no animal form mech."
"I see, then we have to find out who this machine belonged to," Superman said while he ignored Static with a gesture to be quiet for a moment while emergency vehicles were charging in. "I'll get the pieces of this machine brought to Star Labs. I have some sway so they should let Harry have first look - we can speak to him in the morning."
"Good idea," she answered before the line cut out.
Superman turned a smile to Static. "Can you help, or do you and Gear need to get home?"
"Yeah, sorry, Supes," Static said sheepishly. "But Gear and I kind of snuck out when we heard the ruckus. But if you need Gear's help with the science stuff, I am open to loaning him out for a good cause."
Superman laughed. "I'll keep that in mind."
"Yeah, any time," Gear agreed as he flew up to their level with Hal. "I would really love to check out under the hood of this robo-dino."
"Maybe when you're older," Hal answered while both teens pouted.
