ORION
Orion walks up to Superman, "Superman may I speak with you in private?"
"Of course. What is it Prion?"
Orion looks around to make sure no one is listening, "Do not trust Cyborg."
"Why he saved us from Amazo."
"His body has been altered by a Father Box…Apokolitan technology. Darkseid may be controlling him." That is when Orion's Mother's box starts beeping. He takes it from his belt and turns it on. "Highfather."
"Orion return to New Genesis now."
The hologram vanishes, "I must leave." He opens a boom-tube to New Genesis. "You summoned Highfather?"
"Yes…Darkseid has chosen your bride."
"A ploy to keep me off earth."
"Perhaps."
"Highfather there is a human on earth who has been altered by a fatherbox."
"Even so I am forbidden from interfering…Darkseid has the claim of first conquest…If the humans manage to thwart his plans then I can intervene."
For the next few days Orion prepares to meet his new bride. When the day arrives Orion stands with Highfather and the Nobles of New Genesis. A boom-tube opens up and Baron Vonderbol exits accompanied by Granny Goodness and Kassidy Savage, daughter of Vandel Savage.
"I am Vonderbol Baron of Apokolips and this is Granny Goodness."
"We know who you are servants of Darkseid…Get on with it!" Highfather commands.
"As you wish Highfather…Per the treaty between Apokolips and New Genesis…Lord Darkseid has chosen Lady Kassidy Savage to be the bride of Orion…The ancient ritual of New Genesis to be observed."
Kassidy steps forward and takes a knee, "I humbled to be your chosen mate Lord Orion."
He sighs, "Rise Kassidy Savage. I accept you as my intended." A feast is held that lasts six days and then Orion and Kassidy stand before Highfather who performs the marriage ritual. Orion takes Kassidy to the bed chamber where they consummate their union.
"Finished already?" She asks lying in bed.
He sighs, "Tell me…Why did Darkseid chose you?"
"First tell me what is the anti-life equation and why does Darkseid want it so much?"
Orion turns and looks at her naked form on the bed uncovered, "I know about your father…Vandel Savage…I also know that he and Darkseid have a pact. He would conquer the earth and then earth and Apokolips would conquer the Universe. The winner takes all. Problem is that Vandel Savage has failed so many times to tame the earth. The Persian Empire, Roman Empire…The Axis Powers…All thwarted by heroes and people who dared to stand up to tyranny."
"How do you know so much?"
"We keep a close eye on Darkseid his allies and their activities."
