Chapter 32:

Cado sighed, dusting his hands in his newly created underground bunker. Stored inside it were different Kryptonian technology that he was going to give to the renegade Kryptonians as a peace offering. And while he would take some of it, none of it would be made available to the people of Earth. They weren't ready for that kind of power.

His eyes then veered towards the Black Zero that contained the Genesis Chamber. He narrowed his eyes, hoping that the news would be good. "Kelex, what's the damage?"

In drone form, Kelex answered his questions. "According to my analysis, the structural damage seems to be negligible. The cut that you had made severed the intrinsic pieces, but the hull itself was not damaged."

Cado sighed in relief. "That's good. Anything else?"

"From continued scans, the command chair and controls in the cockpit are still functioning normally. The Genesis Chamber itself seems to be somewhat cracked, however."

He froze, the news causing a sinking feeling to enter his gut. "What happened?"

"It appears that the shockwaves from your fight with General Zod damaged the ship's external structure," Kelex explained. "The ship's A.I. rebooted itself at an astonishing rate, but not in time to raise the defences in the Genesis Chamber to protect it from the fall. As a result, the structural damage was considerable."

Cado closed his eyes, hope blossoming in his chest. Still, the necessary questions had to be asked. "Is it lost? Could it be restored?"

"It can be restored. The glass container have been shattered and the fluids have been drained, but they can be repaired and restored."

Cado smiled, happy to hear some good news. "And the embryos inside?"

Kelex was silent before answering that question. "Some of them were destroyed, but hopefully with the Codex stored inside Kal-El, they can be regrown. This can all be done once the Genesis Chamber is rebuilt and sterilised, of course," answered Kelex. "The reconstruction will take time, however."

Cado scowled at hearing that piece of news. "Just great," he remarked sarcastically. He sighed. "At least all of the Kryptonian materials, armour and resources were all captured. A majority of that will join the Kryptonians on their new planet, along with a proper burial being made for General Zod."

The last choice brought a spark of controversy with him and his mates. They were on the side of discarding his body to rot, however Cado wouldn't go through with that for two reasons. One, despite his misgivings, Zod was doing what he did for the sake of Krypton. Something that Cado could completely understand. He really was a villain in the eyes of the humans, but a possible saviour to the Kryptonians.

And two, leaving his body behind could lead to someone experimenting and tampering with it. There was no greater shame than having your gifts - your own identity - robbed from you for some abomination. And he knew that would be the result if anyone - much less humans - mess with a Kryptonian's body.

"Sir, if you are unhappy about the long possible reconstruction of the embryos, I'd suggest to look on the bright side," Kelex offered, a manufactured hint of humour in his voice.

Cado raised an eyebrow. "And what is that?"

With your unique genetic makeup of Saiyan and Kryptonian genes, you could create your own offspring the 'fun way'. At least, that is what is referenced by humanity as a whole."

Blushing slightly, Cado coughed slighty. "Yes, that is true. Thank you, Kelex."

"No problem, sir."

Dismissing the A.I., Cado made his way upstairs, going towards his main office. Bulma sat at the desk, occasionally writing down something while glancing at the TV screen.

"How's my favourite little blue-haired woman?" he asked cheekily, getting her to roll her eyes.

"On this Earth and our own, I'm the only blue-haired woman you know," she remarked, making him chuckle.

He kissed the crook of her neck, getting her to shiver. "That just tells you why you're my favourite. But really, what are you looking at?"

Bulma twirled her pen around. "Just looking at the news. The damage done is... intense. And with no Dragon Balls, there's no way for people to just suddenly cope." She turned her head towards him. "They're talking about you, you know."

Cado rolled his eyes. "Of course they are. Even after offering dozens of people new jobs, helping to construct destroyed buildings and saving the occasional life, there are still annoyances to deal with." He sighed. "Well, what are they?"

Bulma shrugged. "Oh, you know. The occasional threat of arresting you from the president, people telling you to go back to your planet, the government issuing warrants for you arrest and to freeze all of your accounts, etc."

Cado nodded, lips curling in displeasure. "I see. And your response to all of that?"

Bulma frowned. "Why should I be the one to give the response?"

"Because my response would probably consist of 'Fuck off', followed by me flying away."

She sighed, knowing that that was exactly what he'd do. "Well, what is your non-violent approach?"

"Easy," Cado answered. "Removing all of our products and influence off of the market. That way, all the necessary advancements made by us that are removed would lead to them struggling to cope. That way, they'd come crawling back to me."

Bulma looked at him incredulously. "B-But that's cruel! And two wrongs won't make a right in this case."

Rolling his eyes, he grabbed a remote on her desk and clicked a button, changing the TV screen to show a set of statistics. "Since the Kryptonian Invasion, our stocks have dropped by 40% due to people trying to spite us. With a minor 15% increase in the Senzu Miracle Formula due to the numerous amount of injured resulting from the attack. Our Rao Glasses production has taken a minor dive, with people believing that they're communication devices to the Kryptonians, divulging all of their secrets." Cado rolled his eyes. "A stupid rumour, but one that circling throughout the globe."

Bulma pinched the bridge of her nose. "Okay, I understand that. But that doesn't mean that removing all of our products from all of the shelves from across the world is going to solve anything. Millions could suffer from those actions."

Cado paused, seeing the wisdom of her words. "Hmm, you're correct. However, if we do nothing, we'd be made a mockery of, and lose any semblance of credibility." He grunted, annoyed. "And going with the direct approach won't work..."

Bulma gave him a deadpanned look. "I think that throwing all of the people who complain into the sun would send a bad message all around."

Cado rolled his eyes. "If only..." He kissed her cheek, making to go away. "I'll think of what to finally do. You help keep things stable."

"And don't throw anyone to the sun!" she yelled after him, making him smile slightly.

He kept on walking, eventually heading towards the open area created for a dojo that he'd hope to fully complete. He smiled upon seeing Chun-Li there, performing a set of katas fluidly. He continued to watch her, slightly impressed with her determination.

"Are you planning on joining me?" she finally asked, stopping and wiping her arm across her forehead.

"Eventually," was his answer. Cado walked towards her, leaning forward to kiss her gently. She melted into the kiss, her body pressing against his natural. She removed herself from the kiss before things could get too heated, slightly annoying him.

"How are things going with the Kryptonians?" Chun-Li asked, getting him to snap himself out quickly.

"Good," he answered after a moment. "I'm still trying to locate a suitable planet, bring it nearby to oversee it, but not too far where there's some idiot wishing to kill or steal from them, and give them the necessary defences."

An eyebrow was raised by her. "And none of them are giving you any problems?"

The Saiyatonian hesitated. "A few are, but giving them several reminders is always helpful."

Chun-Li hummed, leaning into the crook of his neck. "At least you've found more of your people. I'm happy for you."

Cado smiled. "Thank you. I just wish the introduction went more... smoothly."

She hesitated, knowing that the question could set him off. Still, she had to ask it. "And how is... Kal-El?" Immediately, Cado tensed up, cold fury surging through him. "Cado-"

"Do not mention that... traitor in my presence," he snarled, frightening her slightly at the sheer rage emanating from him. She knew that he was angry, but he needed to see the bigger picture.

"He's currently grieving right now. He hasn't had time to mourn for his father. All he's doing is flying around, trying to help people but not himself. He-"

"If he wants to go flying around, ignoring the insults on his birthright," the Saiyatonian interrupted, "he can do so. I don't want anything to do with him. Jor-El's message was clearly wasted on him. So, I won't bother trying to do anything for him."

Chun-Li would've said more, but he held her more closely, trying to draw comfort from her. "Please," he begged reluctantly. "Let's not talk about this."

She slowly conceded, seeing that he was too moody to talk about his godbrother. She knew that he was hurting, despite his strong front. To have spent so much time pursuing Kal-El once arriving on their Earth, only to learn that he was in a different dimension. To have done so much and strive for too much and upon meeting him, he didn't meet his expectations at all.

When he did manage to talk to them about it, he usually complained about the similarities between Goku and Clark. About how both were so eager to adopt the human lifestyle and abandon their lineage, even if both weren't human, and wouldn't truly be, ever.

Ruffling his hair, she sighed. "I wish we could help you."

She could feel him smile against her skin. His hands drew circles on her back, slowly crawling down to her massive ass. "I know of one way..."

Chun-Li rolled her eyes, leaning back to give him a deadpanned look. "Really?"

"It has been a while," he muttered, caressing her ass. She moaned slightly at his ministrations. "And I know Mai's been bragging ever since me and her did it..."

She bit her lip, considering his offer. It had been a while since they'd been alone, and she was still annoyed at the way Mai acted somewhat bitchy because she'd had sex with Cado. "Fine," she relented. "But only if it gets you to stop acting so moody."

*LEMON WARNING*

Cado quickly kissed her as he groped her ass roughly, making her moan loudly. Her large breasts were pressed against his chest as the two moaned deeply. Chun-Li's hands were curled into his shaggy hair as the two enjoyed their intimacy.

Growling, he whispered into her ear. "Since you got me so worked up, you're going to do your damnedest to make me feel better."

She grinned, responding in kind. "Oh, and how am I meant to do that?"

"I can think of a few things," he responded, fondling her ass with glee. By Rao, he loved this woman's ass. Sure, she had many desirable qualities about her that he loved. But her ass drove him mad. It was so tight, firm and big that his hand barely managed to grab half of her ass cheek as his fingers sunk into it. He grinned as she moaned lowly and wrapped her arms tighter around her.

Cado blinked in surprise as he felt her kiss at his neck, trying to nip at the flesh, only to grunt at finding resistance. Grinning, Cado pushed forward, both of them landing on the floor. "It's cute, the way your trying to take control," his whispered huskily.

"I-It's not... fair- AH!" She squealed near the end of her complaint, Cado having smacked her ass hard enough to make her go weak in the knees. He chuckled lowly.

"Life isn't fair, darling," he whispered, kissing and nibbling at her earlobe while he ripped her qipao at the top, quickly going down and feasting on her breasts.

Face flushed, Chun-Li bit her bottom lip hard as she silently moaned under him. Grabbing his face, she directed his focus on her mouth as the two lovers kissed in a sensual and slow manner, returning his ongoing caresses with her own. Their tongues danced as Chun-Li tried her best to fuse her own voluptuous body with Cado's sculpted one. The need for air became apparent when she retreated from the kiss, face a deep and eyes clouded with desire.

Pushing off her slightly, Cado unbuttoned his trousers to reveal his large cock. He leaned against one of the few benches of the room, gesturing towards his appendage.

Rolling her eyes, Chun-Li raised her ass up and crawled sexily towards him, her ass swaying with each movement. The Saiyatonian stared at that thing like a drunken man, slowly realising that she was close by when she palmed his cock in her hands, making it swell even more.

Smirking sexily, Chun-Li gave the head of his cock a wet kiss before she began to lick up and down his shaft, making sure to occasionally massage it with her lips.

Cado groaned, the friction created causing his eyes to roll into the back of his head. His hands caressed her two buns, occasionally thinking of untangling them. However, he decided against it. Oddly enough, she looked sexier as she did with them as they were.

She looked up at him, making him growl silently as his lust spiked. "You like that, don't you?" she whispered huskily. She used one hand to massage his balls tenderly and the other hand played with her tit, occasionally pinching her nipple. "You, ah, like it when I play with your balls like this? You love - AH! - me teasing you like the dirty boy you've been?"

A soft "Yes," was the response that followed, making Chun-Li slightly more enthusiastic. Her subtle method of going fast with with the sucking and rubbing - while alternating between the two - and moving with slow, agonising strokes left his tail shaking in anticipation. Growling, his tail shot out, wrapping itself around her throat, startling her.

Smirking, Cado held her in place while he used his tail to drag her forward, deep-throating her until he held her to the base. Watching her gag and go wide-eyed made him grin even wider. He moved forward, hips and tail moving in tandem as he fucked her throat deeply. Her throat struggled to contain his cock as he thrusted back and forth, the 'glurk', 'glurk', 'glurk' sound echoing across the dojo.

"That's it... that's it... a couple more seconds!" came his warning. Grunting as Chun-Li's response was a quick but meaningful hum of her throat, Cado yelled as he came, filling her throat with his fluid. Cado made her bob her head up and down slowly, milking him as he continued to paint her mouth white. After a few seconds of constant orgasming, Cado removed his cock from her mouth with a sloppy pop, watching as Chun-Li puffed her cheeks out, struggling to swallow the whole thing. Eventually, she did, only dribbles of cum landing on her breasts.

She panted, coughing a little as she glared up at him. "At least fire it outside! I nearly choked on it!"

"Sorry," came the half-hearted apology as Cado scratched the back of his head sheepishly. He grinned. "Guess I got too carried away."

"Ya think?!" was her sharp retort.

Smiling, Cado quickly moved, grabbing her thighs from under her as he flipped her on her back, making her yelp in surprise. Grinning, Cado placed his cock at her leaking pussy, massaging it for a few seconds.

Whining slightly, she bucked her hips at him, pleading for him to thrust inside. He took his time, however, knowing how much she wanted it.

Growling, Chun-Li yelled at him. "Hurry up and stick it in, you big-dicked bast- AH!" She froze as she orgasmed from the sudden intrusion of his cock being rammed inside of her. The force literally knocked her breath away, causing her eyes to go wide at the speed. However, the thrusts caused her to quickly moan like a woman possessed, her whole body rocking back and forwards as Cado's almost animalistic thrusts sent her over the edge constantly.

"Y-YES!" she screamed out, making him smirk as he gripped her ass, the force rocking her body and causing her breasts to bounce. "FUCK ME! FUCK ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT, YOU BASTARD!"

Cado leaned down, ravishing her mouth with his tongue as her big, hard nipples were rubbing against his own chest. The two were being rocked back and forth, due to his movements. Like a man possessed, he began to massage her tits more roughly. Judging by the screams her Chun-Li, she was really enjoying it.

Cado disengaged from the kiss as he watched his dick disappearing into Chun-Li's cunt. His grin widened and his moans became more pronounced when he groped her ass roughly, giving it a squeeze so hard that her ass cheeks parted and her asshole was opened a little. His right hand smacked her left ass-cheek hard before he did it to the other one, alternating between the two.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, that's it! Keep going!" she pleaded, a look of deranged pleasure on her face as she bucked her own hips, trying to match his mighty thrusts.

The Saiyatonian leaned down and took one of her nipples into his mouth, teasing and biting down on the hardened bud. He grunted as Chun-Li's constantly tightening walls took him to the pinnacle of pleasure. Putting more power into his thrusts, Cado roared as his eyes narrowed. He grunted, cum sprouting from his cock as he fucked her good. Chun-Li screeched loudly as she felt his hot seed painting her vaginal walls white. Cado milked himself for all it was worth for a few seconds, prolonging his and Chun-Li's orgasm for as long as he could.

After a few minutes of watching her stomach bloat slightly, Cado pulled out slowly. He watched some of his cum seep out of Chun-Li's well-used pussy, some seeping down her ass-crack. Cado panted as he tasted blood. Confused, he looked down to see Chun-Li's nipple bleeding from him biting too hard.

"Whoops," he managed to say, seeing that his mate's body was shivering in delight. He even saw the fucked stupid smile on her face as she collapsed completely, looking like her bones had disappeared.

Grinning, Cado scooped her up, warping away to continue their sessions in the bedroom.

*END LEMON*

XXX

Lex Luthor slammed his fist on the table in front of him, frustrated to no end.

It had been two weeks since the invasion. 'The Kryptonian Invasion' as the event had been dubbed by various members of the media, had resulted in catastrophic damage. Millions, possibly billions, worth of damage had been done to the city. The entertainment sector and the bay were in complete shambles.

Now, normally, Luthor would have taken immense pleasure in his words coming to light. The so-called superheroes had caused as much, if not more damage than they had prevented. Lexcorp satellites had recorded all of the mayhem, thankfully from a safe distance. Well, what he could use, anyways.

Despite the large amount of damage, casualties were kept to a minimum. Largely, in part due to the Flash intervening and saving a large amount of people. Still, at least he had something to work with. Superman's battle with most of his kin had resulted in some losses that some couldn't keep quiet about. Not as much as he'd like to use, but it'd be enough.

The bald man almost smirked at the pathetic attempts that the Man of Steel did to try and 'atone' for his sins. Rescuing people who cursed his name, flying across the world like a lost child, solving problems caused by natural disasters... Luthor would've laughed if he were any other man.

Speaking of which, he'd hoped to gain some treasures from the Kryptonians themselves. Perhaps some scraps of armour, blood samples, even a whole body... however, he'd found none. Worse, all data regarding that he'd recorded of the event from his main spy cameras had been wiped clean.

By that damnable Cado, no doubt, he thought to himself, spewing curses upon the Saiyatonian's name.

He sighed, rubbing the bridge of his head to calm himself and get back into the zone.

The government didn't want to panic an already frightened public, and were doing a pitiful job, if he were to say so himself. Aliens were of course nothing new, having been revealed by Cado himself. The revelation that the Man of Steel was an extraterrestrial did ruffle a few feathers, but was carefully digested by the people. But alien invaders was not something the US government was well-equipped to handle.

"They can't even control the one alien in their line of sight," he mumbled to himself, having seen the scene where Cado had essentially manhandled the Minister of Defence.

As he was deep into his thoughts, his phone rang on his desk. He raised an eyebrow, resisting the urge to toss it aside. This phone was connected to a private line. Only few people had the number. And even fewer were actually able to have the balls to call him after such a disaster. He sighed, picking up the phone.

"He stole another ship. Again," came the irritated voice.

Despite himself, he smiled. "Good afternoon to you too, Amanda."

"Don't greet me with that pleasant bullshit, Luthor," Amanda Waller cut in sharply, an annoyed tone ringing through the phone quite clearly. "You know why I'm calling."

"If it's to complain about our own alien menace, then trust me. I've already got some wine to mull it over. You can share some if you'd like."

"Pass," the obese woman denied. "We had plans for that ship, Luthor. With all the destruction brought upon us by General Zod, that was the one good thing to come out of this. And now it's gone."

"You don't think I know that?" he snapped. "The technology isn't the only thing to draw from this disaster. It's shown us the potential doom for mankind. Humanity is on the brink of an event that could alter human history. It's was a stacked deck against the Earth, a battle we haven't even begun to fight for."

"You're not the only one who's pissed, Luthor. Believe me," Amanda agreed. "But to win the war for humanity, let's start small. The alien tech. How do we get it back?"

Luthor curled his lip in frustration. "We can't," he simply said, defeated.

"Are you seriously giving up?!" Amanda accused, furious. "We aren't going to have our authority challenged by anyone! Especially some monkey freak!"

"And what would you have me do?" he whispered. "Fight him? Send robots after him? Pay assassins to go kill him? We're not dealing with that fool, Superman, Amanda. Cado isn't like the foolish heroes. Once he suspects that it was one of us trying to attack and kill him, he'll strike immediately and kill us with his bare hands. Like the Neanderthal that he is, he'd think with his fists first and strike with no subtlety. Simple in nature, but terrible to truly predict."

"So you are admitting you have no plan to counter the alien?" asked Amanda.

"I am running simulations," was Luthor's answer. "And until I find the perfect counter and think of a way to finally bring him down, no. And last I remembered, Amanda, this was a team effort. What exactly do you have planned to deal with him? Lead with your precious 'Suicide Squad'?"

Amanda's silence said it all, making him snort.

"Please, Amanda. Leave the planning to genii such as myself. You go and boss the grunts who actually fear you because you hold a leash over their heads."

He hung up the phone before Amanda could say anything. He sighed, mentally controlling himself before he did something unrefined.

"Well, time for the drawing board," he muttered, standing up. He had a sardonic grin on his face. "Humanity survived two World Wars. Hopefully, with my guiding hands, it can survive an extraterrestrial war."

"Alright," Cado stated, looking upon the uninhabited planet. The other Kryptonians stared back at him. Some reserved, others infuriated. A crevice was formed beside him as he gently laid the body of the deceased General Zod inside, placing the rocky material upon his body. He sighed, dusting his hands.

"There's enough of the Kryptonian technology to terraform this planet into something similar to Krypton," he explained to the Kryptonians. "Of course, I'd have to help rebuild most of it, but that should be no problem."

"Like you actually care, traitor," Faora hissed out. Nam-Ek elbowed for her to be silent, but she didn't listen. "Choosing a planet full of insects over your own home. You've truly fallen far."

Cado ignored her, something that annoyed her even further. However, Jon-Vex grabbed her shoulder and clenched her, subtly telling her to drop it.

"I've installed several drones to oversee the atmosphere of the planet. Not only to let you know if it will suit the terraforming well, but also to alert me if any intruders come by and try to invade this planet." Cado gestured to several flying miniature droids. They were quite non-threatening, reaching only to about his waist in height. They also had a circular head with a purple outline, and two metallic tentacles to act as hands.

"If the latter occurs, I will be alerted and warp to you to aid you in repelling the force."

Jon-Vex grunted, bowing his head slightly. "Thank you, Van-Ur. You have saved us, and given us a chance to allow Krypton to be reborn."

There were similar thanks from all of the others. Even Faora was forced to thank him, though that was because both Jon-Vex and Nam-Ek had to physically force her to bend her head.

Cado nodded, a small smile on his face. "You are welcome. Do not worry, I will deal with the Codex and restore it to its full glory. I will not stop searching for a way."

There were some murmurs as many eyes drifted to Nam-Ek, who had the decency to look ashamed. Cado had pulled him to one side and told him that he didn't blame him, but it seemed the larger Kryptonian still had the shame weigh heavy on his shoulders.

Sighing, the Saiyatonian quickly distributed the necessary items (powerful solar lamps packed with the necessary rays, archives for all of the necessary Kryptonian technology, communication drones and the necessary weapons to defend themselves if necessary) and warped away back to Earth, arriving in a generally quiet part of Metropolis.

He cracked his neck, walking through the streets of Metropolis. He needed time for himself to think. He was relaxed after his 'session' with Chun-Li, but he was still mulling over different ideas on how to get his business back to where it was.

Cado could hear the whispers of the people that watched him walk past him. Some confused, some annoyed or even angry, others fearful, others filled with lustful comments, etc. Cado rolled his eyes as he went about his business, although his eyes narrowed upon seeing a café nearby. He could sense different ki signatures that seemed... odd, for lack of a better term. Different than the other normal ki signatures.

"How intriguing," he muttered to himself, curious. While the signatures felt human, there seemed to be a sort of seediness surrounding the place. He frowned, knowing that it was of no concern to him.

And yet... he found himself drawn to it. Not against his will, of course. But the more he thought about it, the more he wanted to look at it for himself, to confirm that there was nothing for him to be concerned about. So, he headed for the café.

Entering the café, Cado saw a man at the main counter-desk. He had black hair and eyes, tanned skin and wore an expensive suit, dark brown and white in colour. Cado immediately scowled, thinking he was some sort of normal crook. But he studied his face and eyes. The man seemed to have a large amount of experience and knowledge, visible to any who could see it clearly.

This man was clearly no ordinary criminal.

Cado stepped forward, drawing attention to himself. The man saw him, raising an eyebrow as he did so.

"Well, well," he said, sarcasm dripping from his words. "The great alien has descended down from his throne to grace us lowly humans. An honour, sir. It truly is."

"Cute," Cado remarked. He scanned the space behind the man, using his X-ray vision to do so. He talked while he did so, acting casual. "You usually this so warm in greeting customers, or am I just special?"

The man smirked. "They don't give you special treatment from where you're from? And here I thought you were a one-of-a-kind thing, huh?! Your buddies from two weeks ago kinda broke that mentality."

"Yeah. They had business off-world that they brought to Earth. I'm sure that you'd know something about that, wouldn't you?" Cado remarked, done with his scan.

The man behind the counter stilled, before chuckling with a force edge. "I don't know what you're talking about, pal."

"Oh?" Cado smiled coldly. "I'm pretty sure you do."

It was silent for a moment, before several men burst out from seemingly nowhere, armed with what looked to be alien technology. However, a simple kiai had them all blasting back, knocking themselves into the nearby walls and tables with groans. Some tried to scramble up, but the main man held his hand out. "Stop. If he wanted us dead, we'd be dead."

That managed to calm them down, although all of them were still cautious. The man stared at Cado. "How'd you know?"

"I have good eyes," was all he said. "Now, you seem to be... what, a crime lord? Working and selling stuff off-planet?" He scanned the place with his X-ray vision, whistling. "Gotta say, I haven't seen advanced tech like that. Your suppliers must trust you a lot."

"Something like that," the man agreed, shrugging. "You gonna bust my chops, or what?"

Cado hummed. "Usually, I would. But your kind of merchandise is... intriguing, to be honest. I've never dealt with a crime boss who smuggles alien technology."

"What can I say, I like to be unique," the man remarked. "Name's Bruno Mannheim. Nice to meet you, my alien friend. Now, since you're not going to turn me in, I'm thinking that you're interested in my kind of work."

Cado thought about his next actions carefully. Did he trust this man? Hell, no. From the shady looks this guy had, a priest wouldn't trust him. But he dealt with alien technology, something that intrigued him. As far as he knew, humans actually handling or even having alien technology was odd. If he knew how to smuggle and contain it, then he definitely had interacted with it. He was clearly skilled, if he was able to keep this kind of business a secret for a while.

Plus... an idea formed in his mind. "I'm thinking that, if you smuggle this kind of stuff, I'm sure you know how to trade it for a reasonable price?"

Bruno stared at Cado for a moment, before he laughed. There was some nervous laughter from the other henchmen, who did so out of confusion. They didn't know why their boss was getting along with the alien, but they didn't question it.

Bruno stopped laughing as he stared at Cado in a new light. "Well, well, looks like you did pick up a few tricks on this planet, alien boy. Luckily for you, the usual business trading is roughly the same off-planet. Only, it's slightly more cut-throat." He went over the desk to stand in front of Cado, clasping a hand on his shoulder. "Anything else you wanna know, my friend?"

"Could you possibly provide enough funds for Earth currency provided you had the... right merchandise?" Cado questioned, getting straight to the point.

Bruno grinned crookedly. "Well, here at Intergang, we'd give you all the necessary jewels(1) and dollars you'd need, provided you cough up some sweet technology! I'm glad you understand! Now come on, let's talk business in my office!"

Bruno helped guide Cado to the back, the two of them having smiles on their faces.

(1) - The currency I'll use for space-travel in the DC Universe.

Yeah, so I managed to get this chapter down quickly. Well, as quickly as I could do it. Hope y'all liked the chapter.

Also, good news: I finally got a new job! Yep, working at a small nearby cafe, where I can make enough money before heading off to uni. Fucking proud of that shit.

Yeah, like I said, the next few chapters will be somewhat filler, before I move onto the Themyscira Arc. Also hoped you liked the inclusion of Intergang near the end. I dunno, I just really liked their bit in the DCAU, and decided to put them here. It'll also help Cado out with his current financial problem, so there's that.

Also, quick note: the timeline I addressed back in Chapter 25... I was thinking of making a tiny change and having the Formation of the Justice League be replaced with the Darkseid Invasion, as I really liked it. I also really liked Darkseid as a villain, and I'm very eager to introduce him. That'd also mean I'd have to edit out the Darkseid Wars that I had initially planned out, which is sad. But, we move.

I'll also probably give a more detailed timeline next chapter, as I'm still brainstorming ideas. Hope y'all like it.

Guest Review time:

1.) Thanks

2.) I won't say 'blood-rage', but yeah. There definitely will be beef between the two.

3.) Great ideas and insight, thanks.

4.) I will

5.) I know, but I decided to include it because I found it would fit with my story.

6.) He won't match him for a while.

7.) That'd be a boring story if he never lost a fight. I get that you love the story, and want to go down that path, but unfortunately, no.

8.) Reasons are already explained in the story.

9.) Telling me to 'stop writing,' 'discontinue', or 'rewrite' the story is just going to motivate me to continue more. I don't care if you don't like it or think it's trash. Your opinion means jack shit to me.

I have said this numerous times; don't like, don't read. Simple words that you or others can't seem to follow.

But then you'd complain that 'It's my opinion to review your shit fanfic', or something like that. And that's true... so I can give my opinion that you're an annoying little fucktard who can't write his/her own story, so badmouths others to feel like you're the shit.

Make your own account and create your own fucking story if you have time to complain about mine or others. I ain't changing shit according to the words of a little bitch who wouldn't know how to write a proper fucking story if it literally pimp-slapped you in the face.

So, in short, fuck you. And piss off.

Sorry about the rant, was just in a pissed mood before reading that last review, so I sort of exploded there.

Next chapter's update may be slow, as I'm starting uni very soon, but I'll do my best to get it up quickly.

Thanks to all those who f,f,r and r the story. Appreciate you guys so much.

Flamers and haters can piss off, honestly.

Read and Review!
