Hi guys, here is the next update.

Chapter Ten

Parasite

Fortress of Solitude

Lara came to stop when she arrived inside the large fortress she had gotten from her father Kal-El. She noticed that the place was dimming as if something was causing the Fortress to use a lot of power…

"Kal-El," she called out, "What is going on?"

"Something had caused a malfunction," Kal-El's voice said, "This caused a lot of power out of the mainframe."

Lara frowned.

"Can you trace where the malfunction is coming from?"

"The Phantom Chamber," Kal-El answered.

Lara's eyes widened slightly.

"I thought nothing could escape from this place?"

"They can't…and shouldn't be able to," Kal-El's voice echoed from within the Fortress.

"Can it be fixed," Lara said approaching the main control of the Fortress where the crystal's where.

"Do not worry yourself Leia-El, they will need the blood of someone from the House of El to open the portal and escape the Phantom Zone."

Lara looked up toward the large Fortress a sudden worry coming over her.

"We don't have anyone like that in there do we, Kal-El?"

"No," Kal-El answered her, "We do not."

Lara let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She had learnt in her studies of the dimension prison that her grandfather Jor-El had had created, a place where the worst criminals of Krypton were doomed to roam. She wouldn't want any of the prisoners to escape and cause destruction in the world, and worse having the same abilities as her.

Star Labs

It had been a few weeks since the doctor was in Smallville to collect the meteor rocks and he was studying them, trying to identify the rocks property. He was amazed with it since none of its minerals could be found on Earth making him realized that it was an alien rock…a meteor rock.

It could be pieces from the ones that crashed into Smallville during the shower, he thought to himself.

It was curious to seeing them glow that greenish color whenever they came in contact with sunlight which was another strange feature that was added and probably the sun had a strange effect on them.

Checking his watch, the doctor realized how late it is and took the rock from where it was and put it on the shelf, but before he let go the rock glowed briefly in his hand. The man didn't notice any of this for he was already walking toward his effects so that he could get home for the night.

As he walked away, Dr. Sanders noticed that he starts to feel strange…hungry at most. He dismissed it since it was usually how his body works. When his mind had finished working, his body react making him realize how tired and hungry he was, so he hurried home to get something to eat.

When he got home, however, the feeling that become so unbearable that he launched himself toward the fridge and took out a piece of lasagna, wolfing it down, but instead of appeasing, the hunger grew stronger…

"Harry?"

His wife had appeared in the kitchen, and she gasped seeing the mess that her husband had created.

"Harry what's wrong?"

She approached him, putting a hand on his shoulder but Dr. Sanders found his hand closing around her throat. Then the terrible hunger started to appease, and he breathed in relief, dropping the woman on the ground…or at least, what was left of her.

Then his attention was drawn to it, and relief turned to horror.

"Oh, God," he whispered.

His wife was dead.

"Oh my God," he said again looking at his hands.

The hunger was still there…

"I need…more," he whispered, "More..."

Smallville

Lara walked down the stairs for breakfast, she was still turning over the feelings she felt for Barbara. She had wondered if the girl liked her, maybe, she just wanted to stay friends…or maybe it was all in her head.

Should I talk to her about it? Lara thought.

Her ringing phone dragged her out of her thought and she answered it, "Hello."

"Lara, can you come to the Planet, right now?"

"What's wrong Chloe?"

"Something strange happened last night," Chloe told her.

"Strange," Lara repeated, "How strange?"

"Like…kryptonite meteor rock strange,"

Lara groaned.

"I'll be there in a second," she said, "But seriously…Kryptonite?"

"They needed a name," Chloe said, "But can you come?"

"Yes, I'll be there soon," Lara told her before hanging up and then she took off in super speed.

Daily Planet

She arrived at Chloe's desk, finding the blonde down on her desk as she read the morning paper.

"Chloe?"

"Seven people were killed last night," Chloe told her, putting down the paper.

"Seven?" Lara said, shocked, "How…?"

"No one knows," Chloe told her shaking her head, "They were perfectly healthy except that they were dead."

"Er…heart attack?"

"With twenty something years old?" Chloe asked with a raised eyebrow, "I don't think so."

"I'll patrol the city then," Lara told her, "Maybe I'll be able to find whoever…Oh! Hey, Jimmy."

Jimmy Olsen waived at her, a stupidly large grin on his face.

"Don't you have class today," Chloe asked her.

"Next week I'm taking the exams," Lara said, "It's my last week in Gotham University."

"Wow, see I told you it would be over before you know it," Chloe told her smiling, before she noticed the thoughtful look on Lara's face.

"What is it?"

Lara simply waved it off.

"It's nothing…"

"Lara," Chloe started.

But the dark-haired girl was already walking away.

"I'll tell you later."

Supergirl hung over Metropolis, listening to the hundreds of voices that were overlapping in her ears. She hoped that she'll hear whatever caused the strange murders…

"Help…me,"

The girl of steel plunged downward toward where the voice came from, finding an unconscious guy on the ground and standing above him was a man but something was off with his skin all waxy in color.

"Are you alright?" she asked him.

"S…stay away from me," the man yelled at her, backing away.

Supergirl glanced at the person on the ground X-raying him and widened her eyes.

He was dead.

She refocused her eyes on the pale and waxy skinned figure.

"It was you. You killed those peoples."

"I…I didn't mean to," the man told her, "I…I don't know what's happening to me…everyone I touch kept falling…"

Supergirl relaxed a little. Maybe this guy was just scared and he didn't know what to do.

"Okay," she said, "Let's take it easy. I'll take you to a hospital, and maybe they could fix you."

"Don't hurt me," the man said, his voice sounding close to crying.

Supergirl approached him, cautiously.

"I won't hurt you," she said, "I'm here to help."

"That's right," the man said his voice changing from tearful to malicious before taking hold of her shoulders.

Then a light started from Supergirl's body and made his way toward the man. The girl of steel screamed as she felt as if her very life was being sucked out of her body.

"Ah, yes," the man said, his skin slowly turning to normal, "Your energy is more potent than all of the rest."

Supergirl kicked him in the chin, forcing him to let her go and she was dropped down, stepping away from this…Parasite. But her legs where shaking and strangely weakened as she falls down on the ground, huffing and gasping for breath.

"You've got the stuff Supergirl," the Parasite said grinning madly at her, his eyes glowing red, "My thanks."

Two blast of heat vision were fired from his eyes toward Supergirl. She tried used her super speed but, to her shock, it was like she didn't have any powers anymore and that somehow…the Parasite across her had stolen them…

How did he…she thought.

She could continue her thought for she was hit with the blast straight into her chest sending her backward unto wall behind her, feeling the skin burning where she was hit. Through her blurred vision, she saw the Parasite taking flight toward the sky.

W…what just happened? She thought.

That's her last thoughts before she passed out.

Her first encounter with Parasite. Remember i never watched the cartoons or read any of the comics so don't flames, i'm simply writing a story that i came up with.

Jacques0 out.
