Rarity

[Space]

[Collector ship : 1993]

POV: Third

Lobo looked at his client who was none other than an Elder of the universe, one of the most powerful beings in the cosmos due to their long existence, they are the last of their species and gained cosmic powers, in this case this was the Collector due to their obsession with collecting rare things or individuals, as each elder had an obsession.

"Lobo!! I knew you would make it."

"Yes, yes your Krytack just take your prize and give me mine."

"Oh !! by the stars , I could finally get my hands on it, you, Mr Lobo, have no idea of the rarity in your hands."

Collector said as he walked down the stairs to get closer to the two individuals, he walked around the last two race members in the universe.

"A fully developed male Kryptonian would already be rare to have one of them outside your planetary system, but now that your world has burned down in fireworks that rarity has become unbearable."

He ran his hand over the young Kryptonian's cloak as he stared at his booty, Lobo looked uneasy at the entire interaction, he really didn't feel comfortable around this Elder.

"Ok enough of your Krytack manias!! my money now!!"

"Oh sure how could I forget, but see Mr Lobo I'm a collector, my eyes just can't resist having something rare in my collection."

"Yes, yes yes, you and your duck who think you're special and with your sick obsessions!! everyone knows you, now what the hell is there!?"

Collector smiled and walked away further irritating Lobo, but when he saw Collector pick up a large box he perked up and threw Superman to the ground anyway and approached his client. When he was about to pick up the box the Collector walked away.

"What the hell Krytack!!"

"You are the last Czarian right?"

Collector asked with a smile and Lobo frowned but soon realized who he was talking to and pulled out a pistol but it was too late when Collector opened the box and green gas was released on Main Man.

"Coff Coff!!"

"What a wonderful day, the last Kryptonian and the last Czarian in a single day, I hope you're comfortable, we'll need to stay in this system a little longer until it's free of Nova Corp."

The Collector explained as robots took the two away, they were both placed in pods next to each other, each with a different type of biome.

POV : Calvin Kent/Superman

Damn this plan could have been less painful, but it was necessary to use the Lobo to take me to whoever hired him of course I wasn't expecting the Collector and I didn't even expect him to arrest the Lobo too, I had to hold back a lot not to laugh and blow my cover.

"Hey super Kryptonian!! having a good night's sleep?!"

I hear an annoying voice and I already know who it is, I look in the direction where the Lobo voice is coming from and see that he is in some kind of beach biome with several female aliens in bikini taking care of his needs.

"Having fun?"

I asked sarcastically to the shallow idiot in front of me.

"Hey it's not my fault you got this boring and totally outdated cell."

He said and looked around, the architecture reminded me of the files you read about my world that my ship contained, it was quite vintage and futuristic at the same time, but I didn't fail to notice the red lamp above my head.

"A pretty cage is still a cage Lobo and I don't plan on staying here long."

I say looking around, but then a door opens and a man wearing really fancy clothes, that was the Collector who hired the Lobo to capture me.

"I must be sorry young Kryptonian, but you will be staying with me for a long time, seeing as your race has a long lifespan of course not compared to me."

"I don't understand, why the interest in me?"

"You my dear don't know but your race was very famous a few thousand years ago, even famous for their strength over a yellow Sun and that's why I took some precautions with this ability."

I looked up and frowned feeling my strength dropping in clumps until it was just a negligible fraction of its total, this lamp was probably red sun radiation.

"Now for some reason your species has decided to withdraw after a serious conflict with a mysterious force, to this day everyone in the galactic scope doesn't understand why, but well that's just history, please enjoy the trip soon we will be leaving."

After that he withdrew leaving the two of us alone I look annoyed and start to come up with a strategy, but an annoying sound of someone hitting the glass and I look back to where Lobo was looking at me.

"So how's it going to be Kryptonian? From your expression you must have some plan right?"

"Why should I tell you ? For all I know you're just going to turn me in for a few more cents."

"Haha don't worry about it, that Krytack broke a contract with me and if there's one thing I never break it's a contract my promise is my trademark."

I frown but for now it will have to do for a while, I then touch the center part of my belt and a piece of equipment comes out in the shape of the shield on my chest. This was a solar powered mini laser beam.

I smile and point the laser at glass and with a small beam of energy I started to cut the glass, little by little I managed to make a circle of also a head, I can be so strong but I'm still stronger than Captain America naturally and with a punch I break the glass.

"That's right!! now let me go so I can teach that Krytack a lesson!!"

"First I need to recover my powers, I need energy from the yellow Sun, not to mention there must be others trapped here."

"And ?"

"I can't leave them, nobody deserves to live as some kind of prize for a madman."

He grumbles but looking at the alien man that he accepted, and smiling I started to cut his glass too, it took a few minutes and a device discharged but Lobo also freed himself with the women.

"Ok girls find a safe place!! me and this scout have a Krytack to spank!!"

The women took his advice and went to a safe place, then we broke down the door and made our way to the control room, destroyed some security drones, it was no problem for both of us.

"That damn gas made me weaker, not to mention I'm out of weapons to pop these Krytacks."

"Don't worry, I memorized the path to the command base when we passed it."

"What!!, but weren't you unconscious?!"

"For a bounty hunter you are very gullible, I only pretended , to know who sent you after me."

"Haha!! good Kryptonian!! you've got more in you than it looks."

We arrived at the command base leaving a trail of destruction but as soon as we arrived Lobo was hit by an energy beam in the chest sending him away. I looked at the person in charge and saw the Collector with energy leaking from his hands.

"I must say I'm impressed, the Kryptonians' wit is very much alive by the looks of it."

"Apparently I'm not in Kansas anymore."

I say seeing my situation, I put my hand behind me and try to grab something from my belt but Collector hits me with a beam of energy that I barely deflect and I have the edge of my cape burned.

"My mom made this cape!!"

I say annoyed and throw two objects that quickly end up turning into mini rockets that create a smokescreen, this gives me time to get to the controls and quickly fiddle with them.

But at that moment I am hit in the back and I am thrown into the windows that were closed, I end up denting some of the metal and I feel my bones creaking and I end up almost losing consciousness.

"To think that two mere mortals could defeat me, an Elder of the universe.. ARGH!!"

He didn't finish because he received a blow on the back that sent him to the window kneading even more, making an arrow of light pass and that light reaches me.

"Hey Krytack I think it was going to kill me so easy!! Me?! Lobo the Main Man?!"

"Czarian worm!!, let's see if your regeneration saves you from being pulverized!!"

"Oh oh !!"

He dodged the attack that swept through everything in front of him, creating yet another smokescreen of burned-out electronics.

"Where the fuck are you?!, I'll be using your carcass as decoration for millennia! but not before I clone you and leave the copies in a jar like the animals you are!!"

However his screaming stops when he notices something, a golden glow behind him turning around he sees the windows of the ship open leaving the glass transparent, in front of him I was floating and with a not very kind expression.

"But how?! I destroyed the controls!!"

I point to the side where Lobo missing half his torso was pushing an emergency button with what was left of his hand, I could see that he was slowly regenerating, probably due to the gas.

"Damn it!! but it doesn't matter if you received your powers, it's still going to take time until it's completely full and by then you'll already be back in your cage!!"

"True, but tell me do you need to breathe or eat to be immortal?"

"Of course not you idiot!! I don't need those trivial things you mortals need to extend your miserable lives!!"

"Good, so I don't need to feel guilty about it."

Holding my breath I broke the glass behind me and the vacuum sucked everything in with great force, including the Elder of the universe who came out of the ship screaming and cursing at me and then Wolf whose body would have flown if I hadn't caught it sooner.

The ship's shields automatically turn on to prevent more oxygen from being sucked into space, I look at the now less injured Lobo.

"Haha, you showed that Krytack, Kryptonian."

"Is Krytack some galactic curse?"

"You don't need to know scout, now let's not spend any more time here let's blow up this ship."

"There are still life forms in a hurry here."

"Well and what do you suggest Blue."

I just smile at that question.

[Earth]

[North Pole : 1993]

I look around the large crystal structure containing various biomes where the alien races were, a sanctuary for all these guys who were taken from their worlds, I must say it was a crazy but fun adventure and I even got something akin to a friendship with Lobo.

After helping me with the ship he departed of course taking all the women to what he called his private world, apparently that was where he left the women of his harem, well it made sense for someone like him, he tried to invite me but I politely declined if my mother knew she would break me in two.

This fortress hidden under the North Pole will no doubt be useful in the future, and luckily I didn't end up in Savage Land, I think they're a little farther and deeper than my base, I think I can call it a day for now.

[New York]

POV : Third

In the area where the exchange of final blows was taking place, a large operation was taking place, several Shield agents were investigating the place.

Among them Nick Fury watched everything very carefully, especially the damage that would have been worse if it wasn't for the intervention of the so-called Superman, an uncreative name in his opinion but that was the media.

"Director Fury blood samples were collected, very few for analysis but likely from our target, what should we do."

Nick Fury pondered for a while analyzing everything around and Xavier's words, he came to a conclusion.

"Destroy it, I don't even want traces of that blood."

"But sir maybe we can learn something from.."

"Final orders Hill, I don't want anyone messing with what they don't understand, but have Doctor Franklin Hall get to work on his project, excused."

"Sir yes sir!"

What Fury didn't know was that a small sample had been stolen over the agents' noses, it wasn't much but it would bring future problems for all involved.
