Marshal Lang
Clark really screwed up this time, now he was in witness protection. He was the prime witness against his old friend Lex. His duties as Superman were being scaled back at the Justice League, because he was the star witness at Lex's trial in three month's. Lex sat in a cage in the high security prison funny part was this prison once a long time ago held his father after his murder trial. A long ago Clark and Lex were good friends almost brothers one could say, but Lex screwed that up too. Never in his wildest dreams did Clark envision himself in witness protection, the laughter from his fellow Justice League members still rang in his ears. Three weeks ago there were daily multiple attempts on Clarks life, from those events the feds have kept him in hiding. Now Superman sat in a nondescript building waiting to meet the Marshal that was going to be responsible for his safety. It was going to be more like Superman was going to be protecting the person that was assigned to him. The absurdity of it was almost enough to make him laugh.
The door opened the director of this US Marshal office entered followed by a short and very beautiful woman, Clark sat up straighter in his chair. "Clark you're no stranger to police procedures but were going to mix it up on the guys hunting you, please meet Marshal Lana Lang she is the most successful Marshal we have in witness protection she hasn't ever lost someone under her care, there have been close calls but never a loss.' Clark looked at Lana he could feel his pulse race a little. "Thanks that's great to know I'm sure I'll be handled safely, I mean I be ok in her hands, no, no I mean she will make it safe". The director laughed "I never thought I would see Clark Kent tongue tied". Lana was turning a little red at his comments,good lord he is cute just the kind of guy she would want to have in her life. Lana stood "ok nice, Mr. Kent, lets go I understand there have been multiple attempts on you life so far, let's not have a third ok." "Boss we need to go". The director pushed an envelope across the table, "Lana inside you will find new ID's you both need to change your look and get photos taken then get out of town". "The credit cards are unlimited just remember this is a government operation and the goal is to have Mr. Kent here get to the trial and testify alive". "Right" said Lana as she opened the packet looking at the contents nodding a couple of times "any questions Mr. Kent"? "Please call me Clark all my friends do" he smiled turning on the Kent charm. Lana sat there lookingoh my god that smile should be a registered weapon, "right Mr. Kent shall we go". Clark looked at the director with a you have to be kidding look on his face. Clark Ive known your reputation for years as the best reporter the Planet has short of having superman as your body gaurd Marshal Lang is you best bet on getting to the trail. Lets go Mr. Kent, if theres problems I'll call the number boss. They got up and Clark followed Lana out,good lord she is cute, if things were different, I would like to date her. Lana turned half way down the hall "and don't let me catch you staring at my ass'. A shocked and red faced Clark could only say 'yes ma'am'.
They got in Lana's car she handed him a hat and dark glasses put these on it will help hid you until we change your looks and they took off to their first stop a hotel, they went directly to the 10th floor Lana knocked on room 1121 the marshall opened the door letting them into the room. Everything is set up Lana good luck as he left. their cover was Mr. and Mrs. John Jones. Lana was Alicia Jones his wife of 6 years the background was very complete they would pass a homeland security inspection without tripping any alarms. Clark removed the dark glasses Lana had him wear and said don't think I need these. Lana looked at clark the first order of business was Clark's glasses they really stood out. She asked "can you see ok without the glasses"? "Uh yes I can why"? "You're going to lose them there almost a signature to your face and the hair how about blond or ginger". "Not ginger anything but that". Clark handed over the glasses which she put in the envelope she handed him a upper end hair dye for men "you can handle that yourself right"? "I can get through it." "Good I have to figure out what hair color I'm going to have" smiled Lana. "Why change it you're beautiful. It's me they're looking for not you". "Mr. Kent" she sounded exasperated "they can find out I was assigned to you then they will be looking for me to find you capeesh"? "Oh I didn't think of that". "That's why my charges remain alive and get to court to testify". "This is just fluff to throw them off our track and keep them busy". Clark took his shower and came back to the room Lana approved "it looks good on you Clark" she said. He is so hot I would just like to jump his bones Lana laughed to herself. Lana was next she came out blonde also. Clark busied himself as Lana got clothes together and went back to the shower to change out of the hotel robe to street clothes. After they were both dressed Clark noticed her eye color had changed instead of the lovely almond shade of brown Lana had it was now blue. "Aw, I liked your eyes the almond color was enchanting". Lana thought he noticed my eye color that's a first. "Well not many blondes have brown eyes the standard is blue eyes hence the contacts to change the color or should I have green like yours"? "Blue works, good that's what is on my identification papers, little late to change it now". "Pack it up we need to move to a room three floors up were upgrading". They took the papers with them and left everything else behind. The new room had matching luggage and full wardrobes ready for them "as soon as we crossed that door way we're the Jones a moderately rich couple from Florida you were a stockbroker who made a killing in futures and retired earlier than should ever be possible, I'm your doting wife". "Remember the story, make up a several stories of what you did to get rich and you should have enough conversation to get us through"."I'll be a bit of an airhead to everyone but I'll be watching, one thing when I say down, you go down, when I say run you run got it, if I saw jump, jump now, not later." This woman was all business and stunningly beautiful Clark was going to like this. He could feel his heart pitter pattering faster as she spoke. "Ok what about kissing". "Keep it to a minimum please and no tongue ever." "Ok, got it". "Affectionate pecks on the cheek should be
the norm for us". "Right" said Clark while he was thinkingI'll never be able to stop once I start kissing heras he licked his lips swiping his tongue back and forth. "One more thing we'll be sleeping in the same bed, no funny business". "I've taken down and eaten guys bigger than you for breakfast just try putting hands where they don't belong". Clark took a deep breath "I won't give you any reason to eat me for breakfast and take me down" he smirked. Lana turned beet red.
Two days later they went to the valet to get their car instead of the police officer special they arrived in a brand new shelby mustang was driven up. Clark paid the kid to put the bags in the back as today was the first day of their trip to their new location and hide out. Clark as shocked to say the least. Lana smiled "honey get in the car we should get going, if going to make our next hotel by nightfall". Clark stumbled "you're so right Alicia, I just am looking forward to putting some miles on our new toy" he said. Clark got in and they took off, the car was a pleasure to drive and Lana looked beautiful as a blue eyed blonde too, he liked the brunette and the almond eyes better however he hoped he could see them again soon. They drove for most of the day stopping for gas and food only, the next hotel was nice but nothing to write home about.
Three days later they were standing in front of a mansion on the waterfront of Sarasota Florida. They had gates all around, armed guards, and a beachfront property with a huge cabin cruiser. Three more car's sat in the drive a GT 40, a Lambo, and an old time hot rod a 32 bucket coupe. Clark was in heaven. He thought it's time Superman upgraded, look at all this. They were met by the details head guard a blackwater employee all the guards wore Blackwater gear. "Welcome to your new home Mr and Mrs. Jones". Lana said "thanks Harry, but you can call me Alicia this is my husband John". "Pleasure I'm sure" he shook hands. "I'll have one of the guys take your bags out and place them in the master enjoy your exploration of this place we have covered everything no one can get in here we have an electric perimeter and then the dogs and finally the best Blackwater has to offer I've crewed this team for ten years we've seen action all over the globe, glad we got this assignment it should be a cake walk". Clark said "thanks Harry it's good to know we have an experienced team".
John and Alicia retired upstairs to the master bedroom. More expensive clothing filled the closet and the bed was the softest thing Clark had ever laid in. Lana took out a little black device and pushed a button on top Clark winced he heard the electronic squealing. "You ok Clark" asked Lana, "you used my real name"! "Relax this is a scrambler the latest in government inventory". "I wanted to tell you about this place it belonged to a drug kingpin and the cars and boat too". "If anyone asks you have a friend in the banking world when the property came up and was foreclosed on, your buddy sold it to you ok"? Right thought Clark. "Ok what about the blackwater guys". "They were hired because there are rumors of money and drugs being hidden in the walls". "We can't have you getting shot over a drug deal going bad now can we". "Oh wow a scarface guy really lived here"? "Yes" smiled Lana not getting over how attractive Clark was. "How about we go for a swim and then eat he suggested". Lana reached over and turned off the scrambler "that's a great Idea honey a swim and lunch brilliant". They settled into a routine quickly the weeks of waiting went by fast.
The house came with membership to some country club neither Clark or Lana had any interest in going to or doing the social thing, it was enough to get up every day and spend time together without ripping each others clothes off. Once in awhile they would go out but mostly they stayed to themselves. That was until the social director of the Club came knocking with half a dozen busy bodies in tow. Clark came down the stairs after spending time communicating with the Justice League secretly, he heard a lot of heart beats he wasn't used to hearing. The Blackwater guys had turned several curious people away in the last few weeks they seemed very capable of making the point nothing to see here. Clark approached the main room cautiously these could be Lex's people and they knew superman's weakness at least until he could get a hold of all of them and remove the knowledge from their minds. He entered the room ready for combat and was shocked to see Alicia sitting talking with several women he heard clearly a collective sigh out of these women, Lana stopped doing that a week ago she just smiled like the cat who caught the mouse. "Oh ladies this is my husband John his brain is the reason we're here, he's so smart at that stock thing" on and on went air headed Alicia.
