22 Years Ago
"Are you sure about this, Lionel?" a woman asked.
The man nodded and walked briskly to an airplane,
carrying a bundle of cloths. He handed the bundle to
an older woman in the plane.
"You better take good care of him." Lionel snapped.
The women smiled. "Of course, Mr. Luthor. The
Japanese Government will take good care of your son."
"It better, Takahashi!" Lionel yelled as he backed up
and walked over to the other women, who was glaring at
the Japanese plane. Lionel smirked at her.
"Relax. Our son is in good hands. No more meteor
showers to hurt him."
"But Lionel! He's only a small child!"
"And he'll be safer over there than here! They're
predicting more meteor showers! You want him to get
hurt?"
"But, what about Lex?"
"I need one here to take on my business."
"I'll never understand you, Lionel."
Current Time
"Mr. Luthor!" Lex turned to see one of his many
secretaries running to get caught up with him.
"Yes, Ms. Line?" Lex asked.
"Sir, there was a phone call from the Japanese
Government. They were talking about...Lionel's second
son."
Lex raised an eyebrow. "There is no second son."
"Actually, there is."
Lex turned to see his father walking next to him.
Lionel smirked. "Your brother was sent there when he
was born because of the meteor shower."
"Why did I never know this?" Lex asked.
"There was never a reason to tell you. And it seems
that his Foster parents have passed away. That means,
he's coming home."
"However, you are an unfit father. That gives the
responsibility to me." Lex commented.
Lionel only smirked. He knew that Lex would have to
watch over his brother.
"Did you give him a name before shipping him off to
Japan?" Lex asked, dismissing the secretary.
"No. I wonder what they've named him. He should be
here today."
"Already?" Lex glared when his father nodded.
"I'm sure you'll get along with him. After all, he's
only sixteen."
"And here I thought you couldn't do anything else to
surprise me. Am I going to pick him up?" Lex asked.
"No. I already asked someone to pick him up for you."
Lionel answered.
"Who?"
Airport
Chloe Sullivan sighed, looking around for a boy that
would be related to Lex. No one stood out, but thus
boy was told who was picking him up...or so she was
told.
"I take it your Chloe?"
The blonde jumped. There was a teen boy standing next
to her. He had pitch black hair that spiked, if only a
little bit. His bangs fell over his left eye. The one
she could see was...crimson? He wore a black
knee-length coat lined with silver and black baggy
pants. She noticed he was wearing black boots.
"I am. Are you Lex Luther's brother?" she asked.
"Yes. I'm Kage. I guess now its Kage Luther."
Chloe noticed he had a bit of trouble saying his last
name, but remembered that the Japanese couldn't say
L's.
"Er, Chloe Sullivan. Nice to meet you, Kage." she
greeted.
(AN: NOTE! "Kage' is pronounced "ka" and "gay". Yes,
it's Japanese, and you'll understand why later.)
He gave her a half smile. "So, here I am in Nowhere,
U.S. of A. Anything about this place I should know
about?" he asked as they made their way to her car.
"Well, 'unique' is a word you're going to hear often.
The only popular place to go for teens is the Talon,
and you'll get to know every body in this town rather
quickly." Chloe explained as she made her way to the
Luther Mansion.
"Unique, huh? Why's that?" Kage asked.
Chloe smiled. "Well, there was a meteor shower when
you were born. Because of it, many people find out
that they have abnormal abilities."
Suddenly, she remembered something. "Crap!"
"What is it?" Kage asked, blinking.
"I have to see my cousin about something. Do you mind
if we hit a detour?" the blonde asked.
Kage shrugged. Honestly, he could care less. This
way, he could meet more people from this tiny place.
It may be the only time he could meet anyone.
Shaking his head, he looking out the window. They
came upon a farm. It was a usual farm, and even had a
dog to finish it.
"Hey Clark!" Chloe yelled.
Kage got out with her, looking to the barn, There was
a teen, most likely his age. He had dark brown/black
hair and wore red and blue. He could see the muscles
on him. It was obvious he worked here.
"Hi Chloe. What're you doing here?" Clark asked.
"Lois wanted something. And I wanted to make sure she
was alright. The meteor shower hit us pretty hard."
Chloe replied.
"Whose this?" Clark motioned to Kage, who he had just
noticed.
"Oh, this is Kage. He's Lex's younger brother."
Clark blinked. "Lex? I didn't know he had a brother."
"Apparently, neither did he." Chloe said, shrugging.
"Well, Lois is inside, sleeping, if you want to talk
to her." Clark said.
Kage sighed. Great, he had to stay with someone he
barely knew. He really wasn't a people person. Or, at
lease, that's what his foster parents kept yelling at
him before they died.
They watched Chloe go into the house. "So, you're
Kage." Clark began, trying to get out of the awkward
silence. "I'm Clark Kent. I help my father with the
farm."
"Interesting place...Never been on a farm before."
"Really? Where did you come from?" Clark asked.
Kage blinked. "Uh...I don't think I should tell you
how I came to be. Haven't your parents talked about
this yet?"
It took a minute before Clark understood what Kage
was implying. He blushed.
"Kage!"
"Sorry, sorry." Kage held up his hands in mock
defeat. "I couldn't help it. But I'm from Japan."
"That's quite a ways to go." Clark commented, leading
the dark-haired boy to the barn.
"A fifteen hour ride. Aren't I lucky? But I didn't
mind, as long as I had enough batteries." Kage
shrugged it off.
"Batteries?"
"Yeah. There those small round things you put into
flash-lights."
At the look he got, Kage grinned sheepishly.
"Kidding, kidding. I listened to my CD player for most
of the time. It's a habit I don't have the heart to
break."
"What does your name mean, anyway? Kage's a
bit...unusual." Clark asked.
"Well...mind you, I wasn't named by my foster
parents. The name means 'shadow'. The Japanese
Government thought it suited me."Kage explained,
looking around the barn.
"How so?"
Before he could answer, Clark, who had been doing
chores at a human pace, hit the column holding up part
of the barn a bit too hard. It toppled right over on
to Kage. The Krypton was about to run and save him
when something black stopped the column.
Kage was holding his hands up, eyes wide. He moved
his hands in a pushing motion and the column went the
other way. Kage looked to Clark, who was staring at
him.
"You-?"
"You can't tell anyone!" Kage interrupted.
"But...how long have you had powers?" Clark asked.
"Since...forever. When I was first brought to Japan.
It was hard...My foster parents told everyone that I
was dangerous, and no one would go near me. Soon, I
was caught in a fight. I tried not to fight back,
but..."
Clark gave him a sympathetic look. He knew that it
was hard for people knowing about his powers. Not from
personal experience, but he had many examples.
"Hey, having powers is nothing to be a shamed of."
"Even when you killed someone?" Kage asked darkly.
"That person you were fighting?" Clark asked, sitting
on a piece of hay.
"No..." Kage shook his head. "...My foster parents.
"I didn't try to, believe me, but they kept
yelling...And I guess some part of me snapped. They
blamed me for having these powers, and soon...They
just..."
"I'll make you a deal." Clark began, looking at Kage
expectantly, "I swear not to tell anyone if you can
keep a secret for me."
Kage blinked. "You? Have secrets? The world must be
ending." He looked to the sky expecting doom.
"Ha ha. Funny. But you also can't tell anyone. Got
it?"
"Sure. Swear on my Unique Twisted Demonic Oath not to
tell anyone."
Clark smiled. "Okay...When that meteor shower hit,
there was one that hit the surrounding land here on
this farm. Well, my parents went to look when they
found a baby in the meteor." he explained.
"You were that baby weren't you?" Kage asked, looking
at him in admiration.
"Yeah. I'm from a place called Krypton. It was about
to be swallowed up by the sun when my parents sent me
off to Earth."
There was a pause. Clark couldn't believe he told Lex
Luther's younger brother, who he had known for ten
minutes, that he was an alien.
"COOL! I know an alien!"
Clark almost fell over in surprise when Kage jumped
up. He laughed. It was amazing how childish Kage acted
even though he went through so much.
"So," Kage sat back down, looking at him expectantly,
"Got any awesome powers that I should know about?"
"Well, I can see through anything, except lead-."
Kage covered himself. "Perv!"
"Not like that! I can sorta fly..."
"What do you mean by 'sorta'? Either you can or you
can't." Kage said, pointing his nose into the air.
Clark smiled before going on. "I'll explain later. I
have heat vision, meaning I can melt anything. I'm
super fast. And I can't be harmed by anything...except
kryptonite."
"Hmmm..." Kage got into a thinking position. Clark
had an urge to push him over.
"What about the flying thing?"
"Well, I have only flown once, and that was when my
full kryptonian(?) personality took over. He can fly.
I can't." Clark answered. "What about you?"
"Well, I can control shadows, which is what you saw
holding the column thingy. Uh...I can fly," He stuck
out his tongue at Clark, "I can control dreams, and
the such. Oh, and telekinesis."
"How can you fly?" Clark asked, somewhat jealous.
When he flew, it was the most amazing thing he'd ever
experience.
"Well, I can manipulate things, like fire, shadows,
wind, and water. So, with it, I can fly."
Well, I hope you all liked it. PLEASE be nice.
