Chapter IX: Future issues
2006-Metropolis, Kansas. Trinity walked out of the Knight Industries Technology offices where she was the CEO. She looked at her PDA and noticed she had a business lunch date with Wayne Enterprises CEO Bruce Wayne, son of famous doctor Thomas Wayne who was born and bred in Gotham City which was about 4 hours from Metropolis. Trinity stared at the gang who surrounded her.
"Give me your purse, bitch," one of the thugs said brandishing the gun in her face. He then suddenly saw her Wolverine boot kick the gun out of his hand.
"You so picked the wrong day to mess with me. Get out of my way," Trinity said to the 4 men who surrounded. She had recently colored her hair from blond to brown. Her own brown eyes changed to red, but she suppressed her heat vision. Her Powers had rapidly revealed themselves to her a lot faster than her half-brother Clark. But she knew she was still a woman, despite her Kryptonian heritage.
"Who do you think you are? Your just a woman," One thug said. She spun herself around and the four men were on the ground as her super speed was utilized.
"I am more than just a woman. I have a responsibility to humanity. You guys have 3 seconds to get away from my company's property before I turn you over to the FBI or the local police," She said as she pressed her foot down on one thug's throat. Another one stood up and took the knife in hand and tried to thrust it into her back to kill her, but he stared at the blade of the knife as it shattered against her body.
"You want trouble, you got it." Said a male voice behind them. Trinity turned to see the man she was going to have lunch with. The young CEO of Wayne Enterprises, Bruce Wayne. He was barely 18, but his face betrayed a much more mature sensibility. Darkness was underneath his face, as if he faced a horror that still plagued him.
"It's Wayne. Let's kill him," the thug said, as he turned to the CEO. But before he could pull out his gun, He was on the ground. The two were back to back as the thugs had tried to once again rob both of them.
"Thank you," Trinity said as they saw the thugs run off. Bruce offered his hand to shake hers.
"No problem, Miss Knight. I am-" He said, introducing himself to her. She smiled at him staring into his eyes.
"Bruce Wayne. I have a business lunch with you today. I am Trinity Knight, CEO of Knight Industries Technology . I need Wayne Enterprise's help to find my brother Clark Kent," she said shaking his hand.
"Your brother is Clark Kent? Is he related to a drifter who made a return visit to Smallville 23 years ago? How is he lost?" Bruce said as they walked around back of the Knight Industries Technology building to move to a limousine that would take them back to Smallville and the Kent farm where she was living and also helping Senator Martha Kent, after the death of Jonathan Kent 6 months ago.
"He's lost not in the traditional sense. He's misplaced in time," Trinity said as they were on their way to the Kent farm. She smiled at him, finding him quite handsome and likeable.
"Why do you want my help, Miss Knight?" Bruce said. He then glanced in the rear window of the limo and saw the Knight Automated Roving Robot following them out of town to the town.
"Your Company recently designed a time displacement device and I would like to use it to go back in time to aid my brother against a relative of mine," she said truthfully.
"Who is this relative of yours, and why?" Bruce said smiling at her. She was quite attractive and he was immediately attracted to her.
"General Zod is not my relative, but he was born on the planet my biological father came from," Trinity said, after a few minutes thinking of how to tell him the truth.
He stared at her with a look of awe and shock at hearing the name of Zod.
"Oh My Lord! Where do you come from?" Bruce asked after a moment of silence.
"I am Trinity Jean Knight born of Jor-El of Krypton and Elizabeth Knight, ex-wife of Wilton Knight," She said after a moment.
