Chapter Thirteen- Resettlement
The metahumans that were freed from their prison were in shock and awe and had so many questions for their saviors. Lena had bought up many safe houses via various shell corporations to hide her own trail, and as a precaution, used cash. Lena was pacing back and forth and ultimately decided to keep her identity to herself. It was for their protection anyways. If the safe houses were compromised, at least they would have plausible deniability.
Lena decided to face them still in her armor, as they looked at her pondering what she was going to say, or worse.
"First off, please relax. We did not rescue you, so you can all be afraid of me and my partner. Trust me when I say this, that we are your allies in this fight."
One of the metahumans, a child, bravely decided to speak. "How do we know that we can trust you? How do we know that you will not lock us up, or betray us in anyway?"
Lena sighed as she closed her eyes, and remembered how the Incident left its own mark on her soul. She would be damned if she let innocents pay a price for things they have no control over.
"I was there, on the day of the Incident. It left a deep mark on my soul because I lost something very valuable that day. And I will never ever have it back. I know what it is like to lose something valuable and precious to your heart. You all have each other, and that is greater than anything. I would never do anything to separate any of you; men, women, children, families. I am not the monsters who kept you caged and shackled. If we work together, we can live and survive.
The metahumans were quiet as they listened and absorbed what Lena was saying. The child simply titled her head in Lena's direction, as Lena nodded right back at her.
"How can we help you?"
Lena smiled now. "You can all help by keeping a low profile. I know it will be hard, but I ask you for your own safety, to not leave the house unless its absolutely necessary. I have left clothes and food here that can last you quite a while. And by chance that you need to go outside, do keep a low profile and do not wander longer than you should, I cannot emphasize this anymore."
"I am not God, I am Omnipotent or Omniscient. I am just someone who is trying to do the right thing. Believe me, you are free. And the monsters who did this to you, they will come looking for you."
The metahumans sat in contemplation for what seemed like an eternity, debating amongst themselves. Finally, one of them decided to speak.
"Very well, we will listen to you. Whatever you need us to do, we will do it. It takes a lot of courage to help those who are not your own. I hope what you are doing can lead to more people following your example."
Lena sighed, as she let them pick out their rooms, and showed them how to use and operate everything in the house. As another precaution, she had fake Id's made for them, and provided them with a way to blend in. Things had gone okay so far, but she was prepared. The submarine hidden in the waters bordering the City had been kept well hidden, and could be used as a retreat. The ship was a ways off, and she would need to develop a great cloaking device.
The next step was to wait and be patient. Lena knew there were more warehouses out there, more secret places where the metahumans and aliens were being kept. She had to wonder what her mother was truly up to.
Six Weeks Later
Time had passed, as it became a regular occurrence for Lena and Naruto as they freed many a metahuman and had them kept safe in housed hidden in the city, right under her mother's nose. Today, Lena decided to celebrate, as she was sitting on Naruto's lap, as they were involved in a steamy make out session. She was going to tear his shirt from his body, when Hope materialized and cringed.
"Ugh, mom and dad, get a room."
Lena and Naruto huffed at being interrupted.
"Cheeky little brat." They both responded in unison as they laughed.
Hope shook her head. "Great, now there are two of them. Look, you are young and adults, sex is how you communicate with each other. However, get a room. I am your daughter, and I do not want to be scarred for life.
"Okay, we will be more careful. I have found another location. This one is worse, a great deal of women and children have been kept here. And it seems your escapades have not gone unnoticed as there is a much greater presence of activity here. I know, I should not be worried, but I do worry for the two of you. Please, stay safe."
"We will darling, we will."
Lena and Naruto separated, as she was left in contemplation. This was too much. What the hell was her mother doing with women and children?
She opened a special briefcase, pulling out a very experimental weapon known as a Railgun, but handheld. Instead of explosives, a Railgun used electromagnetic force to launch high velocity projectiles. Using mass, high speed, and kinetic energy, a Railgun could deliver significant damage. With the use of a small tungsten rod, there would enough impact and penetration power for a show. The muzzle velocity was decent enough for high impact damage.
The ammunition and power had to be severely scaled down though. A Railgun had the power to wipe out a city or even a neighborhood with ease. Hope had helped her to scale it down to take out a large area like a building or facility, but nothing higher than that. It would then attract far too much attention.
She looked at Naruto who was already dressed for the occasion. Lena gave him a grin. It was time to go hunting again.

Under the cover of night, and with the use of the Hiding in Mist Technique, Naruto and Lena masked their presence, as they got to work. Naruto hid in the Earth to hide his trail and entered the facility using stealth. Meanwhile, Lena decided on a more bombastic approach. Using the HUD, she targeted the guards, and activated the Stun function, as she rained crimson bolts down upon them, as they had no idea what hit them.
She then ripped the door off its hinges, as she burst through, unleashing all manner of smoke bombs, frag grenades, and bolts of energy as the screams of the guards and the scientists could be heard. Once everyone was subdued and defeated, Lena noted a scientist trying to run away. After knocking him to the ground, he was scared shitless.
"Please…, I have a family."
"Yes, just like all these captured individuals. They have families too, they have people they are longing to return too. That must have slipped your mind. This place is interesting. And, its been decorated like a warehouse for carpets and such. Now, if you don't want to die, take me to where you keep them. If not, I can guarantee I will make your end slow."
The scientist was scared out of his mind, listening to Lena's cold tone. He quietly nodded as he took her to the secret elevator, as they rode down in silence.
"How many guards are waiting for us down there?"
"Many."
"That's too bad. They chose the wrong day to get out of bed."
If the scientist could see through Lena's helmet, he would be able to see the shit-eating grin on her face. Lena began humming a small tune, which unnerved the scientist. They had no idea what was coming for them.

A flurry of well-armed and armored guards had been positioned in the room were the cells were, as the steel doors were closed shut. The guards has been searching for their second intruder, as some were placed near the secret elevator.
The guards moved quietly and calmly, searching for Naruto. As they moved through the floor, they saw bodies of brutally knocked out guards littering the floor, and one of the doors open. As they entered, they saw one of the guards on the floor. As they tried to help him up, he looked at a corner of the room in pure fright.
The guards looked up and saw what looked like an Eldritch horror looking at them, a creature from a nightmare, something that should not be seen. They kept firing but the creature was moving closer to them, shaped like a malevolent fox. Out of pure fright, they screamed, as Naruto attacked viciously and with cruelty.
The screams permeated throughout the floor, as the guards were scared. The steel door was suddenly blasted clean of its hinges, as the guards fired. It failed to work, as they suddenly saw the same horror. The guards fell to the floor, as they screamed, soiling themselves, as they fell unconscious.
Naruto made quick work of the guards at the elevator, before he stared at the cavalry who was lying on the floor, disgusted by the smell.
"Pathetic."
Naruto saw the door of the secret elevator open, as Lena walked through with a scared scientist, admiring his handiwork.
"I see you have been having fun."
"So have you."
Lena knocked out the scientist out cold, before she opened the doors to the cells. The women and children refused to leave, until Naruto spoke.
"Its alright, you are safe. No one can harm you now. I promise, you are in good hands."
Time had passed, until the decision was made. The metahumans were rescued and taken far from the facility. Naruto wanted Lena to come with him, but Lena wanted to test out her new toy. Naruto smirked as he would wait for her back home.
Lena soared high in the air. Once they were safe, Lena pulled out her Railgun, locked on, and fired. Once the rod had penetrated the facility, a sizeable earthquake had occurred swallowing and crumpling the facility to pieces, as smoke billowed in the air. It was indeed a powerful weapon, one that made a severe statement.
"You keep building them mother, I will keep knocking them down."

"This is the National City News; Once again, just like six weeks ago, what looked like the remnants of a facility were blown to pieces with the only signs of evidence being a smoking crater and golden flames. Authorities are trying to determine what these facilities are, and what was being done here. These incidents have led to an increase in anti-metahuman and anti-alien activity and protests. The Incident that occurred in National City is still fresh on the minds of many. One must wonder who or what is responsible for this, and what the end goals are."
A remote was thrown into the TV, as Lillian Luthor threw away her coffee, and flipped over a table.
"God Damn it!"
Lillian Luthor woke to some unsettling news. In the past six weeks, many of her prisons and facilities had been turned to ashes. Her hard work was being reduced to nothingness, as her grip on the metahumans was starting to weaken. Someone, very powerful was making a mockery of her, and she had a clear idea who it was.
"Well played, daughter, well played. This is just a battle you have won, not the war."
The sound of a phone ringing had Lillian alert. This was not an ordinary phone; this was a phone which led to a secret number. She opened the phone, as she gulped a little. The voice on the other end, while sounding like honey, was actually a voice belonging to an individual she could not cross.
"Ms. Luthor."
"Sir, I can assure you, we have this situation under control."
"That's what you said to me six weeks ago. I have given you my aid Ms. Luthor and provided you with what you needed to wage your crusade. I have been working with you in helping you eliminate metahuman and alien scum. And you cannot even safeguard your own prisons. Perhaps, I should have given my aid to another."
"I assure you, sir that this will not happen again. I will find who did this, and they will suffer the consequences of interfering in our work. I assure you, this will not happen again."
"See to it that it does not, Ms. Luthor. I expect results, not disappointment. I would hate for you to anger me."
The line went dead, as Lillian slumped to her chair. She would deal with her daughter and her friend soon enough. Perhaps, the timetable needed accelerating.

The person speaking to Lillian Luthor smirked as he chuckled to himself.
"Humans, so easy to intimidate and manipulate. This fool has no idea that she will be responsible for the end of her own kind."
The man got up from his chair. He was dressed in a fancy suit, his hair slicked back, as he stared at the night sky, with a cold, evil smile on his face.
"it's all going according to plan. Soon enough, this world, no all of existence will be yours, my master."
