A/N: Hey guys, I added more to the last chapter but I guess I exceeded the word limit, which sucks cause that was a good chunk of the plot. I had to continue it here. Guess I just have to limit my chapter length lol.

Conner just nodded his head,"I like you're attitude Pete, keep it up." he looked at a clock and gasped a little,"Well we better get to class. Later." As he walked away, he thought about what Pete said. He had never heard too much about Superman other than the fact that we was a Superhero. Some people talk about him as if he was real, while others have turned him into an urban legend. It seemed hard to imagine that at one time, there were people with extraordinary abilities that lived among normal citizens. What happened to them? Did they really just give up on the world, or is there something bigger going on that people either don't see or just ignore? Sooner or later, truth always comes into the light.

LuthorCorp

"Well Gentlemen, I hope you've all considered my proposal. Otherwise I got out of bed for nothing." Landon said as he sat at the end of his round table.

The board members talked amongst themselves for a few minutes.

"You guys know that I'm right here correct? If you have something to say, say it to my face."

Mr. Hayes cleared his throat,"We've been reviewing your plans and...we still have a few questions."

Landon took a long sip from his glass of water and set it down,"Okay, like what?"

"Well for instance...have you considered the consequences of all this?"

"Well of course I have Mike. Do you really think that I would just resurrect one of my father's controversially brilliant ideas without first asking myself whether or not it was even worth the time?"

"Well no...but..."

"But...but what? Look fellas, we can play this game of volleyball until the world blows up! Or we can look ahead to the future. It's your choice."

"Future? If this plan goes wrong we won't have a future Landon!" another board member spoke up

Landon laughed quietly,"It's good to have you back Tony. Look, here's the thing. My father dreamed...literally dreamed, of a world where humanity didn't have to look up in order to become who they were meant to be. He reasoned that if we only looked within ourselves, we could be our own heroes, or own saviors if you will. Do you really think any random joe schmoe around here wouldn't sell his whole family just to be as powerful as say...Superman for example? Well now that him and all the rest of those pesky super friends are out of the picture, we can be!" he stood up and pressed a button on a remote control,"Scientific Evolution! the key to unlocking humanity's potential. We were destined to be more advanced than we became content with being, but not anymore. This bad boy right here, is our future." he pointed to a machine blueprint that was being projected on the wall,"Think about it guys. No more weaknesses. No more inferiority, isolation, anything that would hold us back." he walked around to ,"Think of how happy your daughter would be if she could walk...even run."

"Don't you dare try to use our personal lives against us. This has to be an unbiased, fair decision." a board member yelled

"So stop being biased then!" Landon breathed in and exhaled,"Don't act like you all don't secretly want this. Like the world doesn't have diseases and weaknesses that it wants cured. It's up to you, but don't ruin it for the rest of humanity just because you got a case of cold feet." Landon turned off the projector and starting walking to the exit,"Think about it!"

"Wait!"

Landon turned around abruptly,"Yes?"

thought for a moment,"How exactly did your father find a way to improve genetics? Wha...what kind of research was he doing?"

A satisfied smile slowly formed on Landon's face,"Fellas...I think it's time we took a tour through the Luthor mansion."
