In Metropolis-
"Do you know where I can find a scientist by the name of John Rocks?" Clark asked Mr. Bob, one of Luthor Corp.'s secretaries.
"Does he work for Lionel or Lex?" Mr. Bob asked.
"Lionel," replied Clark, "he used to work with a robot but the robot got..."
"incinerated, right Clark?" interrupted Mr. Bob as he searched for Rocks on his computer.
"Yea." Said Clark.
"Well, here," Mr. Bob pointed to the screen, "John Rocks."
"Does is say where I can find him?"
"Hold on... ahh here, you can find him on the second level, room #501. Better be careful. According to his schedule, he's currently studying a highly poisonous meteor."
"Thanks, Bob."
"Anytime." Clark left the room and headed for the elevator. He entered the elevator and pressed 2. Soon he was on the second level. Making sure that nobody was around him, Clark used his super speed and x-ray vision to find the room. In no time, he was knocking on the door of room #501. An old man answered the door.
"I'm looking for John Rocks." Said Clark.
"I'm John Rocks." Replied the old man. "And you are..."
"Clark Kent. I need to ask you a few questions. Do you mind?"
"Actually, no. Go right ahead while I put these substances away. My years in prison have taught me to let others ask me and be more truthful. How can I be of service?"
"You were in prison?"
"Yes. They thought I killed a little boy named Devon Greer. I didn't even kidnap him."
"Look, Mr. Rocks, Devon Greer kidnapped my wife and shot her in the arm. She is currently recovering in the hospital. If you want to be of service, you need to be completely honest with me. Where is Devon Greer and what happened to him? Why did he kidnap Lana? Is he still alive or is he a ghost?" Mr. Rocks sighed.
"I'll tell you my story if you promise to help me take down Devon and drain his powers, so he won't commit any crimes."
"Okay, I promise." Clark said. "Okay Clark, What I'm about to tell you is something you need to keep to yourself until further notice. I can't hide it anymore. I did in fact kidnap Devon Greer. But it's not what you think. I didn't kill him. The meteor shower had changed him. He was given the brains of a genius and the qualities of a robot. I helped him feel his true self by changing him into a real robot. Oh, did I forget to mention that he was also given the same ability as his sister, Tina? I advanced his morphing powers so he can change his DNA also. Devon wasn't incinerated. He stopped working with me because he wanted a life of his own. I let him go, but I didn't know that he would turn bad and commit crimes. I thought that he might become good, but somehow, I knew that his powers may give him the urge to show the world how powerful he is. I made up the story that he was incinerated so Lionel Luthor wouldn't bother me about his disappearance. Now I think that it was a big mistake to give him a life."
"How do you plan on draining him?" questioned Clark.
"With this," Mr. Rocks opened a small box and revealed the green meteor rock. Clark stepped back. Mr. Rocks closed the box.
"I have one more question."
"Go right ahead."
"Did you marry Allison Greer, Tina Greer's aunt?"
Mr. Rocks paused.
"Yes, I did." Admitted Mr. Rocks.
"One more thing. Did you learn about Devon through Allison Greer?"
"Yes."
"I have to go now. It was nice talking to you."
"Goodbye, Clark." Once outside, Clark used his super speed, and fled back to Smallville.
