Chapter Fifteen
Break-Out
STAR LABS-Room 504
Linda Franklin was in her room when her door opened, letting in a nurse which surprised her. She had expected to see Dr. Sanders which brought up the question considering she hadn't seen him in the last few days.
"We need a new blood sample," the nurse said.
"Where is the Doc?" Linda asked.
"He was transferred to the STAR LABS in Boston," the nurse told her.
"Oh! Really?"
"Yes, now about that blood sample?"
Linda inwardly grinned.
"Sure."
The nurse approached her, syringe ready. She leaned forward and that was when Linda struck, her left hand taking hold of the nurse's neck.
"Sorry, but not today," she grinned.
She threw the lady at the wall, and she was knocked unconscious instantly. Linda smiled feeling her entire body turning to ice.
"Mom, Dad, I'm coming home."
Lara entered the Smallville Mansion, glancing around a little. She walked in, toward Neil's office finding the young man working on papers, a bottle of liquor beside him.
"Neil?"
The guy looked up.
"Lara…how did you get in here?"
"Front door was open," Lara answered simply.
"I meant the gates?"
"I've got your message," Lara continued, "You said you wanted to talk."
"Yeah, of course I did," Neil told her, "My father is out of jail."
Lara paused, looking at him.
"What? How?"
"He paid off some of the years," Neil told her, "But he still had to spend six months in jail."
Lara frowned a little.
If Lex Luthor was out of jail, Deathstroke will be around more often, thought the guy had hardly made any real attacks against her.
"How come you didn't answer your phone?" Neil asked her.
"I…I didn't realize that I had it off," Lara told him, "and I was kind of busy."
"Who's your friend Neil?" a new voice said.
Lex Luthor was standing in the doorway, a slight grin on his face. He was dressed in a suit with a coat on him, thought his grin faded a little when his eyes found Lara.
"Dad…what are you doing here?"
"We are going to Metropolis Neil to take over our company from Tess Mercier," Lex told him, "But I don't believe I have met this young lady before."
"Dad, this is Lara Kent," Neil told him standing up, "She is a local here in Smallville."
"Nice to meet you sir," Lara said extending a hand.
Lex shook it, his eyes examining Lara's face.
"Have we met before Mrs. Kent? For I felt I have seen your face somewhere before."
Lara tried not to squirm underneath the careful scrutiny from the man's gray eyes.
"I would have remembered that encounter sir," Lara answered him, releasing his hand.
"I suppose," Lex answered, "Interesting…choice of clothing…color."
Lara looked down upon herself seeing that she was dressed in a blue shirt with red jeans, and mentally slapped herself in the head for dressing in her signature colors. She didn't want Lex Luthor of all people to become suspicious of her.
"Now, the conference will be in a hour Neil," Lex continued, "We best be going. It was nice meeting you Lara Kent."
"Sure, I'll get going in."
The two Luthor headed off toward a LuthorCorp helicopter which flew into the air, heading toward Metropolis while Lara stood there watching them fly away.
The two Franklins were having diner, thought no one spoke of anything. The atmosphere had always been tense to the point that the slightest movement might trigger dangerous chains of event, ever since they had given Linda to the Star Lab in Metropolis.
Suddenly the door bell rang.
The two looks at each other, questioning looks in their eyes.
"Are we having company?" Mr. Franklin asked.
"None of that I know of," Mrs. Franklin said.
"Probably the neighbor," Mr. Franklin said, standing up from his east, "wonders what he wants."
The man made his way toward the door as the bell rung again.
"I'm coming," he called.
He pulled the door open, and without warning, the door was bashed in, flying of its hinges sending Mr. Franklin flying backward with it. Mrs. Franklin came running and yelled.
"Allan...what?"
"Hello…mother," a girl said from the doorway.
Mrs. Franklin looked up, and her eyes widened. A girl stood in the doorway, dressed in jeans and dirty jacket. Her skin was literally blue, her hair like icicles but the face was a familiar one.
"Linda," she whispered, "Baby is that you?"
Suddenly ice grew out of the ground in spikes stabbing Mrs. Franklin's legs making her yell out in pain.
"Don't you sweet talk me," Linda growled, "I haven't come back for a reunion."
Mr. Franklin groaned as he pulled the door of himself, looking quite disgruntled. A deadly grin grew on Linda's face, watching them.
"I have come for my revenge."
"WHAT?"
Lara was staring straight at the newspaper in front of her.
"Something the matter Lara?" Ma Kent asked.
They were all in the kitchen with Pa Kent leaning over her shoulder.
"The Franklins were found dead in their homes," Pa Kent said, "My God…who could have done something like this?"
"I don't know," Lara said, "But I'm going to be late for work."
"You're working?" Pa Kent asked, "For whom?"
"Daily Planet," Lara told them, "Chloe helped me get the job thought, but I don't' really feel fine working into a newspaper company."
"What's your job?"
"Photographer," Lara told him.
"Go on then," Ma Kent said.
"Bye," She said disappearing with her super speed.
Daily Planet
Lara arrived in front of the boss's office, Mr. Perry White and she knocked.
"ENTER," the man's voice yelled.
She entered the room, finding the man looking over some papers.
"Mr. White?" she said.
"You must be the photographer I hired yes," White said.
"Yes, I'm Lara Kent," Lara presented herself.
"Good Kent, I will need some pictures of Supergirl for the paper, for that girl sell more news than most out there even the Justice League…thought no once can't get a good pictures without blurring it out."
"I can get you some more pictures," Lara said.
"That's what I like to hear," Mr. White said.
The door opened and a woman, Lois Lane, entered the room putting a stock of paper in front of him.
"Here it is on that STAR LABs break-out story," Lois said.
Lara frowned. Break-out?
"Ah, thanks," White said, "I'll print that this out on this papers news. Good job Lane as usual."
"My thanks, now get out of here, and get me more juicy stories and Kent, Supergirl's pictures."
"Yes sir," the two women said before getting out.
Once out of the office, Lois glanced at her, "New employee?"
"Yes, I'm Lara Kent, nice to meet you," Lara told her.
"Chloe's friend aren't you?" Lois told her.
"Yes," Lara said.
"Well, got to go Kent, maybe I'll see you around," Lois said.
"There is something I want to you about…that STAR LAB break-out," Lara said, "Whom did escape?"
"Some nutter, I think her name was Linda something," Lois said, shrugging, "They said she got infected by some meteor rocks…but I don't know, I just report the scoop."
"Oh," Lara said frowning, "Thanks anyway Lois."
Linda seated with her hood up as the people passed her. Now that she was out of that place, she was shocked to learn that her goddess Diana's disappearance and she cursed herself for not have been there to protect her love…when she caught sight of someone that by all right, should be dead.
Lara Kent.
Linda straightened up, blinking. She recognized the raven haired girl thought she was older, but how could she be alive? She had killed that girl herself.
She saw Lara disappear from a corner and a red and blue blur took off into the sky, so fast that if she had blinked she would have missed it. Then Linda had flashback of seeing such color at Diana's home before she was knocked out.
Could Lara Kent be responsible for her losing Diana? Linda felt anger growing at the girl who was stealing Diana away from her.
You've cheated Kent, but not for a second time, she thought.
Yeah, Linda from Supergirl's Beginnings is back and she is out for revenge.
Well hope that update was good.
Jacques0 out.
