Thanks for the compliments, I didn't think anyone would read the story, especially since there's already two other people trying to recreate the storyline, JopJosh and Blue Eyed Devil. Then you have Crazyboy862 taking a swing at it. All three of these writers are really good, I only hope my writing skills can compare to theirs.
To Ghost Rider 2099
Yeah, I'll try and run though the Robin line-up, I was originally going to start with Jason Todd, cause im pretty sure Batman had been their just alittle longer then Superman. But I guess I can try and twist that to give them a better beginning. And of course I'm going to have Supes go against Dooms-day! I wouldn't dare miss the opportunity of trying to take on one of Superman's greatest battles. Thanks for reviewing

Ultimate Battles:
The Kents Gift, Smallvilles Nightmare
(June 15, 1980)
The Sun had just started to settle of the horizon, which symbolized that night fall was just around the corner. The folks of Smallville are usually on their way home, to prepare supper and begin relaxing for the long night of sleep. Despite the events soon to occur, Smallville, was a rather boring place. Nothing every happens here, nor was there ever much to do. The place was filled with farms, and small café's with a couple of markets around and few flower shops to top it off. There are only two schools within Smallville, so everyone pretty much knew each other for the most part.
One of the most well--known families within Smallville, was that of the Luther's. A couple of years ago, a mansion was built within the city and Lionel Luther and his wife stayed there. Soon enough, they gave birth to two young boys. Though tragic events, the mother killed the second child they named Julian and then later killed herself. Which left Lionel Luther and his first born son, Lex Luther in the mansion.
Lionel Luther owned most of the shops and plants that surrounded the outside of Smallville, which was what brought in most of the money to keep the place alive. Of course, no one was really happy about this, those who worked for him feared for their jobs. Nine out of ten, Lionel usually closes down a place to open another, which puts most people out of work. Then a serious of crimes was always close to the name of Lionel Luther, so his popularity wasn't a good thing.
One family that wasn't to found of the Luther name, was that of the Kent family. The past generations always had some run in with the Luther's before they became rich. The Kent family presently consisted of two people, Jonathan and Martha Kent. Another residents of Smallville, who like everyone else was on their way to the Kent farm, they called home. To them it was just another day, with the same routine they usually follow.
Jonathan looked over at Martha, who was slumped down in seat gazing out the window in deep thought. Jonathan couldn't help but to feel that something was wrong with Martha. She hadn't said anything since they left the flower shop earlier. He looked back to focus on the long black tar road as they hit a bump.
"hmm..are you thinking about what I think your think about Martha?"
Martha sighed some and continued to look out the window. Him and Martha had been trying to have a baby for long time now, and no matter how hard they try, nothing ever happened. Several visits to the doctors didn't help either, the dreadful words, "Sorry not this time, but maybe next time." Became such a pain and an instant key to send Martha crying. The doctors believed she couldn't have children, but the tests took time.
"Martha, I know you feel, I feel the same way, but you can't keep breaking down. You have to be..."
"Jonathan LOOK!" Martha interrupted him.
Jonathan quickly looked to the passenger window, that Martha was looking out of, and saw a large storm of meteors headed towards them. His eyes widened, as Martha screamed, his foot became heavy as he pushed down on the breaks. The meteor's were never low enough to hit them, but the after-shocks of the meteors crashing was enough to send the truck rolling over to it's wheels again.
------------------------------------------------
The sky lit up as a heavy storm of meteor's as they came down upon Smallville. The attack was short and swift, not to much damage, but enough to count bodies and over pack the Smallville medical hospital with patients. A couple of fires broke out, but wasn't to much of a match for the local fire departments. The Smallville welcome sign was heavily damaged in a matter of seconds, as over half of it destroyed.
The storm had hit so hard it was like a nightmare to many. Love ones was lost, especially to alittle girl at the tender age of 3. This particular little girl was dancing around as happy as she could be in her little fairly outfit, waiting for her parents. The parade had just passed as she stood there hand to hand with her Aunt. Her eyes quickly racing amongst the crowd looking for her parents, it didn't take long before her eyes ran across them as they stood there beside their car. Overwhelmed in her joy she couldn't help but to jump around and wave her arms till the moment she was reunited with the people who gave her life.
"What the!..." Her Aunt started to say as a large shadow begin to cover them. The little girl's parents looked up in the sky at that very moment, only to be engulfed by a large meteor seconds later! Several other meteors crashed around them and the impact sent everyone scattering and the little girl and her aunt into the wall of their flower shop. Dirt covered the girls face as she cried her lungs out in fear.
"Lana it's ok!" Her Aunt Nell said to try and calm her down.
On the other side of Smallville, a power planet stood, where Lionel Luther was giving his speech on the closing of the power plant, while his son walked though the high grass fields that surrounds the power plant. Before he knew it, he was on the ground crying, shaking and fearing for his life. Meteors has ran past him at such speeds it literally tossed him to the ground. During the storm it some how cause him to lose his orange hair.
-------------------------------------------------
"Martha where you going?"
Martha didn't answer; she was in a trance. It was like a calling, she had no control over her legs that was steadily carrying her towards the meteor that almost hit them. Her eyes widen as she peered within the crater. A spacecraft half burnt came into view, as smoke slowly continued to raise from it. She couldn't imagine what this could mean. Thousands of things ran though her head. Then thought about aliens and adduction's came to mind. A hand quickly dropped on her shoulder, which sent a shriek from her mouth as she turned to face her adductor!
"Jonathan! Don't YOU dare scare me like that!" She screamed at him.
Jonathon showed no facial expression as he stared down in the hole. His eyes where locked on the ship that was slowly opening.
"Martha, look!"
Martha looked back down at the ship, which was soon covered by a gray mist. The loud cry of a small boy soon filled the ears of Martha and Jonathan.
"Ah My God!" Martha screamed as she slides into the hole racing towards the baby.
"MARTHA KENT! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" Jonathan screamed after her.
Martha glared back at him, which made Jonathan feel somewhat stupid for asking the question. Martha pushed within the smoke until her head peered into spacecraft. Her eyes widen as she saw the boy with in it. The small boy stopped crying as he saw the women and slightly smiled and begin to laugh. Jonathan soon appeared side to side with Martha and stared at the baby boy. The boy held his hands out towards them in acknowledgement to pick him up. Martha and Jonathan looked at one another and then back at the boy.
"Where do you think he came from Martha?" Jonathan asked.
"I'm not sure Jonathan, but I think this may be god's gift to us!"
Jonathan looked at Martha with a blank face. Martha smiled gently as she picked the boy up carefully, and examined the blanket he was carefully wrapped in.
"L..a..ra..." The boy said before his head slowly laid on Martha's shoulder.
Martha looked at Jonathan with her right eyebrow slowly raised. "What do you think Lara could mean?" She asked?
Jonathan shrugged somewhat as he grabbed Martha's hand.
"It could be the boys mother maybe? We need turn him in."
"What! You can't be serious Jonathan! What mother would send their child in a spacecraft?"
"Maybe it's some military test or something?"
"I doubt the military could be that mean Martha"
A ominous green glow began to emerge from the ship, as a hiss sound entered the air. The cockpit hub slowly began to close and the ship morphed into a smaller like form that closely symbolized an egg. On the cockpit window a large shield with S in it formed. Martha and Jonathan couldn't do anything but stare at ship.
"This is getting freaky Jonathan.."
"Yeah, lets take the child and the ship home and we'll decide what to do from there."
