Chapter 2

"So," Andrew said with a giggle, "I guess Jafanite is a big success," pointing at a picture of him standing near the newer body armour type in a popular science magazine. He sighed, 'Prime Defence Mechanics, I like the name that we came up with and Buffy's right, the name is cool.'

Buffy laughed, "Three months and we got four contracts for the stuff."

"Indeed, wait until I introduce the creepy armour mentioned in Anubis's plans," Gol'Tok laughed, "Light and truly energy resistant and, with a couple of new factories, we should be able to make the first prototype."

"Baby steps," Buffy cautioned, "Baby steps, remember?"

"Yeah," Andrew laughed, "Can't do too much at first," and he suddenly smiled, "I may have found something interesting; Gol'Tok asked if we could look at it some sort of meteor rock from a town in Kansas."

Buffy shrugged and said, "Sounds nice, but Andrew we can pay someone to go there, we can't just go around the country looking at things that catches your symbiote's eye."

Andrew snickered and said, "Yeah, thank god Gol'Tok hired those men to help the company though I think they don't quite trust a kid yet or his plucky second in charge. But I think we're winning them over slowly, but anyways about the town in Kansas, would you care to join me?"

She smiled and said, "Why not?"

As they got ready Andrew wondered what happened to his friends in Sunnydale, he kinda wanted Jonathon in the company, and Warren? Well he could probably do without Warren and the fact that Warren would be drooling over the technology of the Tok'ra and the stuff Gol'Tok stole from Anubis's files.

One of his accountants ran up and said, "Mr Wells, I have good news; we have another contract."

"Umm," Andrew said, "I'm going to check a couple of things out in a small town, I'll look it over on the plane."

"Of course Mr Wells," the man said respectfully.

"Wow," Andrew said shaking his head, "It's still hard for me to hear people call me Mr Wells."

"It's a sign of respect, people will respect you but Andrew, you must remember to watch out for what your world calls 'yes men.' You must learn to see the difference those that follow blindly, not questioning those are the fools, a good leader listens to his followers," Gol'Tok said, "Remember that Andrew, your own history is full of records like that."

Andrew sighed and nodded and said, "The company has been growing rather quickly, hasn't it?"

"Yeah," Buffy sighed, "The Jafanite armour and the material itself is in high demand Andrew."

They left for the airport and Buffy sighed, "When do we get a company jet?"

"Umm, when I become a multimillionaire," Andrew giggled, "And that's at least a couple of years away."

"Not fast enough," Buffy frowned, "But at least we're taking first class right not coach, right?" She suddenly stopped herself and said. "I really just said that, didn't I?"

Andrew giggled and said, "Don't worry, I kinda want to try first class at least once in my life."

Gol'Tok chuckled at his children's words as they were amusing; Andrew had odd thoughts, his imagination was extremely fertile, an excellent place for new applications for Goa'uld technology like the idea for mobile force field emitters, they would be most effective and the idea for a rapid fire Zat gun only futuristic looking and not looking like a coiled snake but one of those phasers from Star Trek.

On the plane Andrew sat around in a business suit and he frowned, 'Why do I have to wear this monkey suit anyways? We were just going to get some rocks, even some fancy green glowing things.'

'Andrew,' Gol'Tok said disapprovingly, 'The son of Luthorcorp does live there and you can't walk around in dirty jeans and a T-Shirt while meeting him because, from what I know of him and read of him, he is very well informed about such things.'

'Oh,' Andrew frowned as he looked at Buffy and asked, "Do I look good in the suit?"

Buffy looked him over and said, "Black silk suits you and Armani looks good on you."

"Well, I guess it suits anyone," Andrew frowned, "But do you like Gol'Tok's dress choice? I mean a bit short but yeah."

"He has taste," Buffy shrugged, "And besides I like the dress."

Andrew ignored the smug feeling from Gol'Tok and sighed, "Okay, you do have good tastes."

As they flew to Kansas Andrew looked over the town's history and he frowned; meteor showers and some people suggested that the rocks were probably responsible for some odd mutations, he whispered mentally, 'Why are we after these possibly dangerous rocks?'

Gol'Tok chuckled, 'The stones are reportedly very bright green and they glow, according some people's words and that means they might be used as a energy source but we could also use them as a power source for energy weapons or shields and even the medical device.'

Andrew made a face he didn't want to put himself, Gol'Tok or Buffy in danger, he heard the symbiote give a mental chuckle and went back to work studying the town's history.

"So," Buffy said, "What town calls itself Smallville? I mean it's a nice name but you know?"

"Better than Sunnydale," Andrew giggled, "I guess, who the hell named it Sunnydale anyways?"

"Someone with a warped sense of humour Andrew," Buffy gave a snicker of her own.

"Well one day," Andrew said almost nobly, "When I get rich enough I'm gonna buy the land in Sunnydale and bulldoze it to the ground."

"Would that work?" Buffy giggled, "I mean, really?"

Andrew shrugged and said, "Who knows? It'd be nice to try, right?"

When they got to Metropolis Andrew grinned and said, "Nice city, isn't it? Almost as large as LA. Maybe when we get big enough we can get a corporate office here too?"

Before Buffy could say a thing they heard a voice say, "Now you have ambition, that is impressive; already thinking of moving your company here."

Andrew stared in shock as did Buffy because in front of them was Lionel Luthor.

Andrew thought, 'Holy shit!' and realized that he was about to pee his pants, only to hear Gol'Tok wag his tongue and take over and say in his voice, "Mr Luthor, now what can I do for you?"

'What the hell,' Andrew whispered mentally to Gol'Tok, 'Are you doing?' he asked nervously.

'You aren't ready,' Gol'Tok whispered back and walked towards Lionel and said, "Mr Luthor, do you personally greet all guests like this?"

Lionel gave an easy smile and Gol'Tok sighed, 'Yep, this guy could pass for a System lord,' and suddenly gave a little shudder as he wondered who'd be the dominant one there: Luthor or the Symbiote?

"Mr Wells," Lionel said, "Two months ago I never even heard of Jafanite, a most interesting material. I would love to know more about it and you and your lovely companion as well."

Gol'Tok laughed and thought, 'Ah, this guy is no system lord, he's a larva compared to them but still, given enough time.'

"I am afraid, Mr Luthor, that I am quite busy today," Gol'Tok said, "Perhaps tomorrow?"

"Of course, but if you need anything do not hesitate to ask, Mr Wells. I would so much like to be friends with you," Lionel said as he walked away, "And you may take my limo anywhere you wish to go."

Gol'Tok frowned, "That man is a shark."

Buffy nodded as they left and looked at the limo and said, "We taking it or what?"

"No, I would sooner take a ship from Sokar himself than that man," Gol'Tok laughed, "In this case Andrew's age is a benefit; Lionel Luthor expects him to be easily manipulated, which is why you'll be letting me talk to Mr Luthor, Andrew, until you learn, alright?"

"Yes," Andrew muttered as they got into a taxi and gulped, "I nearly ruined my pants, that man is scarier than Wallace; the man who used to pull my pants down in gym."

"Yeah," Buffy said, "High school bully versus Lionel Luthor? No contest."

As they got to the bus depot a man in a suit came over and held out a cell phone and said, "It's for you Mr Wells."

"Umm, okay?" Andrew said confused and put the phone to his ear and said, "Umm, hello?"

"Hello yourself Mr Wells, I'm Lex Luthor. I heard you talked to my father today, how did that go?"

Gol'Tok took control and said, "Mr Luthor, it well enough; your father has expressed an interest in me and my company."

"Mr Wells," Lex said over the phone, "You cannot trust my father, ever and I understand that you are heading to Smallville, might I ask why?"

"Simple," Gol'Tok said with a large smile, "I'm thinking of buying land there and I wanted to see for myself the land I'm interested in."

Lex was silent for a moment and said, "Certainly and I would be delighted if you stayed with me in my mansion and I won't take no for an answer."

Gol'Tok sighed, "Certainly, we shall be there soon enough."

"Of course," Lex said, "I have instructed my driver to take you here."

The man took the phone from Andrew and lead them to a limo and Buffy frowned, "Did we just step into it again Andrew?"

"Yes," Andrew grumbled as they got into the Limo and added, "Wake me up when we get there, okay? And I'm not sure if Mr Luthor is going to charge us to use the mini bar so don't touch it."

Buffy laughed and watched Andrew pass out; she didn't blame him hearing from the Luthors in one day and sighed as they drove out of the city towards Smallville. She wondered more about the town as she looked at the files on the town, 'Interesting? It was scary to see that they had the same weirdness factor Sunnydale had.'

As the car sped towards Smallville Buffy frowned, 'What the hell are we getting into?' She knew Andrew didn't want to deal with the Luthors.

Andrew began to snore contentedly when Buffy shook him awake and said, "Umm, we're here. I mean we just arrived."

"What the hell?" Andrew said, "I just closed my eyes, how can we be here already?"

"You've been asleep since we left Metropolis, Andrew," Buffy giggled.

'Crap,' Andrew thought as he got up and looked at the mansion and muttered, "Jeez, why the hell does anyone need a place like this?"

"Don't know," Buffy giggled, "I want a place like this one day. But you got a point; it is rather big for one person and his staff."

Lex walked out and said, "Mr Wells, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Smallville."

'Uh oh,' Gol'Tok moaned, 'Another shark and he's looking for his next meal and guess what's on the menu: it's not pizza or sushi, it's you Andrew.'

"Umm, hello Mr Luthor," Andrew said, "It's nice of you to put us up here but it isn't necessary, we can afford our own lodgings."

"Nonsense," Lex said, "I've been wanting to meet you and your very lovely companion," and smiled at Buffy.

"Oh, umm, wow," Buffy said, "Umm, I'm underage, sorry and I just got out of a really bad relationship."

Lex nodded and had them enter the mansion and said, "Welcome to my home and please don't hesitate to ask me or the staff for anything you need."

Andrew nodded and sat down, sighing nervously and whispered to Buffy, "You feel like we're in the belly of the beast here?"

Lex walked in and said, "Now Mr Wells, why are you here? Your company just has contracts with law enforcement agencies and some military ventures, are you venturing into farming?"

Suddenly Gol'Tok spoke with Andrew's voice and said, "Mr Luthor, I must admit to be somewhat surprised as my company has only begun its work, how do you know of us?"

"Easy, I have friends in the law enforcement agency Mr Wells," Lex said smoothly, "One who was nice to let me check out your Jafanite armour and it is interesting: light, durable and bullet resistant; he used a P90 on it took fifty rounds to pierce it."

"Really?" Gol'Tok said, "Now Mr Luthor, why are asking me about Jafanite? Do you need it for something?"

"Nope," Lex said, "But I would love to invest in your company."

"No," Gol'Tok said simply, "I'm afraid I have heard far too many rumours about the Luthors."

Lex smiled and said, "Tomorrow maybe," and walked off.

Andrew groaned, "Buffy, I do not want to talk to him anymore, we have to find those meteor rocks tonight."

TBC

The Smallville part will play a small role in this story.

Should Lionel Luthor be a member of The Trust? And should he try to recruit Andrew? Should Kryptonite be able to power some of Andrew's projects?

The pairings will be announced in later chapters.

Please rate and review.
