-1Chapter 4- Reborn
"How did the extraction come?"
The soldier stopped and saluted. "Yes sir. The Kent boy was buried earlier this morning. No one will notice anything."
The captain nodded and saluted back at the solider. "Good work. Begin the program. Dismissed."
"Have you made progress?" Lex asked as he watched something on his computer.
"Yes sir. The prototype is complete and 100 operational." His minion said standing tall, holding his briefcase.
"Good work. Let's begin on a human subject." Lex said.
The suit nodded and left.
6 months later
"The reanimation is complete, sir."
The captain watched through the large glass window. The super-soldier project was coming along well. So far they had successfully completed three super-soldiers. However each one developed different abilities. One failed in physical properties and was fixed by mechanical parts. Another was only successful underwater and the other was….he liked to eat a lot.
"Let's begin." The captain said.
The soldier began the process. Inside the room on a metal slat was Clark Kent. The machines attached to Clark began to whirl and start up.
Clark began to jerk and spasm. His lifeless skin began gain color as his blood began to circulate. Large amounts of electricity poured into his body recharging the organs and bring life back into his body.
Clark opened his eyes and struggled to break from his bonds. He didn't know what was going on and what happened to the hospital room and Lana?
Two military dressed men walked in and undid his straps. They helped him to his feet and he tried to break free unsure of what was going on. He pushed on of the soldiers away from him but ended up sending him flying into the wall 20 feet away. The other soldier backed off and Clark rushed to the door.
Instead he was moving faster than anyone else. Two more soldiers were moving toward him but once he started to run they stopped still as he rushed past. He was heading straight for a wall and tried to stop but instead crashed right through.
He stood still surrounded by rubble. A general type looking man and two scientist looking men stood in the room looking at him in shock. Clark looked down at himself expecting blood instead not a scratch.
"Clark Kent. I'm general Williams and you're inside our high-tech military training facility. You've been selected to be a prototype super-soldier." The general said.
Clark stared at the general in shock, "I just want to go home. I want to get back to Lana."
"I'm sorry son. This may come as a shock but you must know. Your dead and we've brought you back. It would be unwise for you to return." The general said.
Clark started at him in shock. "Dead?" he softly spoke leaning against the wall.
"I'm sorry to tell however we must begin your training right away. Take him to Oliver to get started." The general said to one of the soldier who just stepped through the large whole in the wall.
"Yes sir." he said taking Clarks arm and leading him out of the room.
They traveled down 12 hallways until finally reaching the living station. He led Clark to a large living area. The room was laid back with two overstuffed couches and a pool table along with a T.V. on the wall.
The room was occupied with three individuals. Two were playing pool and the other was on the couch with a large bowl of ice cream topped with everything. One of the pool players was wearing orange and green. The other was dressed in normal clothes and setting up for a complex shot.
"Hey, don't be using your computer to cheat man." The orange and green said.
"Attention." The soldier said. The three stood up and saluted. Another person walked into the room and walked past Clark and the soldier.
"At ease." The fourth said. He was dressed in a suit and waved the others back to what they were doing. "Who is this?" He asked turning back to Clark.
"This is Agent Kal-el, civilian name Clark Kent. He's just been reanimated and needs to go through ability placement although we've already noticed a huge increase in strength, speed and invulnerability." The soldier said.
"Oh is that all." He said sarcastically. "Fine, let him settle in tonight we'll begin tomorrow." He said dismissing the soldier.
"Welcome Clark I'm Oliver." He said holding his hand out to shake. Clark refused afraid he might break his hand. "I understand. New abilities can be terrifying but by the time were done with your training you won't be afraid of anything. Let me introduce you to the others."
He led Clark over to where the rest of the group could hear him. "Guy's this is Clark Kent, code name Kal-el. He'd just been revived so go easy." The group turned and waved to him. "The one in non matching colors is A.C. code name Aquaman. The buffet table is Bart codename Impulse. The other one who looks normal is Victor codename Cyborg." Oliver said.
Clark nodded to the group still trying to absorb what was happening. "Impulse can run super fast, A.C. can control water, breath underwater and speak to fish. Cyborg is half machine so he can tap into any computer, not to mention the hardware makes him super strong and have ultimate stamina." Oliver said leading him to the sleeping rooms.
"So what can you do?" Clark asked as Oliver showed him his room. It was a simple small room. A military cot covered one wall, the other wall held a dresser with military clothes.
"I help with the training and leading the missions. I mostly use gadgets and a bow. I was a military brat chosen to lead this operation of super-soldiers." Oliver said letting him into the room. "We'll get you up super early so get some rest and don't worry everything will be okay."
Clark stepped into the room and just stood their not knowing what to do. Oliver closed the door to leave him to his thoughts. He sat down on his cot and stared at the white wall.
He was dead in Smallville and that meant that Lana and his friends and his parents thought he was dead as well. He couldn't possibly go back; after all he didn't know how long he'd been dead. He just couldn't waltz back into their lives. He would go along with this military thing he'd been sucked into. Besides the others didn't look unhappy.
"Wake up soldier."
Clark jumped awake and rolled of his cot. "What?" He asked finally realizing what was going on and where he was.
"Time for training." The soldier said.
Clark stood and grabbed a pair of the only clothes he had to choose from. A pair of combat pants and military green t-shirt. Once dressed he pulled on his military boot and followed the soldier to a large room a couple of hallways down.
The others he'd met the day before were waiting for him. Oliver was dressed in a green leather outfit while A.C. wore water pants, Bart wore a red suit with a lightning bolt on his back and Victor wore a blue and black leather combat suit. Clark felt underdressed as he joined the line-up.
"Morning Clark. I have a few tests for you today to find out where you are and what needs to be done." Oliver said breaking line and motioning to the rest. They broke away and went to their separate stations for training.
Clark had to do test in speed, strength and weather or not he could survive a bus falling on him.
He passed with flying colors in all three. Midway through testing they discovered Clarks other abilities. When the bus fell on him he saw through the bus to find the easiest way out of the ruble. Then his vision changed and he melted his way through the ruble.
Afterwards when they were testing his speed he actually lifted off the ground and floated. So once the training was done all he needed to work on was control and he would be a super-soldier.
