Chapter 11: Connor finds Lachlan

Gotham City-a Dark and desolate city faced a lonely sunrise as its citizens were gripped in a crime wave that had been going on for years. Connor Kent, dressed exactly as his "brother" Clark Kent had been in 2002 when he scared Mayor Billy Tate into confessing that he had ordered a drifter who later turned out to be Jor-El of Krypton, landed in an alley. He stared at the glowing planetary that was the planet Apokolips, home of the being known as Darkseid knowing Kal-El was being tempted by his own vanity and pride. He walked around the darkened city, walking with a sixth sense that told him that the citizens of Gotham were under a semblance of Darkseid's control due to a marking called "The Omega symbol" which was related to the Anti-Life Equation, which was what gave Darkseid his god-like powers. Connor knew the power was strong, but considering that he had his own darkness, He had been programmed to keep it at bay. He had the brilliance of Lex Luthor but not the madness that had infected him at a young age. He had heard that the power of the "Omega Symbol" as it was called would start as a leaning toward pride, but He didn't learn much before being sent to the past by the daughter of Lionel Luthor, who was also known in the 21st Century as Watchtower.

"Kent to Trinity Jean Knight, I'm in Gotham. Are you receiving my signal?" He said as he activated a blue-tooth device he had attached to his ear. The device synced up to the Queen Industries satellite that orbited Earth.

The Kent apartment-Trinity heard the beep of the blue-tooth and she removed the device from her pocket and attached it to her ear. She then pressed the red button on it and heard Connor's voice.

"Yeah I got you, Connor. We're running a DNA sample off of the jacket that Jor-El wore when he originally came to the 1960's and found a bullet casing on the jacket and it had fingerprints that matched Lachlan's. Jor-El's running the fingerprint through the Kryptonian computer that the crystal can become. Give us a few minutes, Connor," Trinity said as she stared at her Kryptonian father who was using super speed to run the fingerprints off the bullet casing at a remarkable speed, and the alien scientist said, "I got it. He's at the 4 fingers pub off of Clinton drive. I'll send a holographic map to your blue-tooth device, "Jor-El said. He touched a couple of holographic buttons and sent the data encrypted using Knight Industries encryption systems.

"How did you know my company's encryption sequence?" Trinity asked.

"Daughter of Krypton & Earth, I used the same Encryption to send your brother to Earth. Your mind absorbed some of my subconscious memories when Elizabeth Knight conceived you. It wasn't my fault or hers. That's just what happened," Jor-El said. She smiled, and then re-clicked the blue-tooth device and reconnected the call.

"Connor, your blue-tooth device came designed with a holographic emitter. Press the button 3 times and it will project the image of where Lachlan is. Only you can see the image. Find him and bring Mr. Luthor here," Trinity said.

Gotham City-Connor Kent nodded and then disconnected the call and pressed the "call" button on the earpiece 3 times and the device began showing Connor's current position in relation to where Lachlan was. He was in a bar not far from where he was. He then began to use his super speed and arrived at the bar. He walked in and began to look at the people clearly getting drunk off of the alcohol they were consuming. He saw another man that he recognized from the data file that had been sent along with the holographic map sent which was a picture of the dead body of Lachlan Luthor of the day that Lionel had set the tenement fire in Suicide Slums. He saw Lachlan drinking a beer, his 4th one.

"Lachlan Luthor?" Connor asked him. Lachlan looked up and stared at the young man. He looked exactly like Clark.

"Oh My God! You're the drifter! Get away from me, "Lachlan said, removing a pistol from his jacket. People moved away from him as they saw him welding the gun. He shot off two shots but didn't affect Connor as his Kryptonian DNA caused the bullets to bounce off of his chest.

"I need your help Mr. Luthor. This planet is in danger and you're the only one who can help me," Connor said. He grabbed Lachlan at the collar of his jacket and grabbed and crushed the gun. He then dragged the man outside and pointed to Apokolips, the planet of Darkseid.

"I need your help to save a man who would be the world's greatest hero, but I can't do that without you. Will you do it," Connor asked. He stared at the man.

"No," Lachlan said. They then heard another voice. A voice of a boy. "Why not? Why not help the world," the boy asked.

"Who are you?" Lachlan asked.

"Thomas Wayne. I live in Gotham. I wanna live to see tomorrow and not worry or feel fear. I want to live in a world where I can live in peace with others," Thomas said. Connor smiled.

"Listen to the boy, Mr. Luthor. Do you want to live in fear of your neighbor? Do you want to go on being a criminal living in fear for your life? Or do you want to help save a world so you can live another day free from an interplanetary tyrant who doesn't have humanity's desires at its best interests?" Connor asked. Lachlan stared at him.

"I don't believe you," Lachlan said. He then stared at the fire that surrounded the planet.

"Do you believe that planet that is near Earth? Darkseid brought his home here, and screwed with the time line causing Nazi Germany to begin to do something they never had done. They will begin an invasion of North America taking New York, and moving toward Washington DC to take over the United States in Darkseid's name. The only hero who can bring things right, The Last Son of Krypton has gone over to the other side, and unknowingly is serving Darkseid," Connor said.

"What do you need?" Lachlan finally said. Connor smiled.

"Thank You Thomas Wayne. You will be an awesome man and your son will take up the mantle of The Batman," Connor said. Thomas stared in unbelief of Connor Kent's words.

"Thank you, who ever you are," Thomas said. Connor smiled at the 10-year-old.

"Let's go, Mr. Luthor," Connor said, as he grabbed the man, threw him on his back and he leaped into the air…
