I was watching TV, while that girl was out, and couldn't help, but think.
I'm still having trouble coming to terms with all of this. Also, Kratos's memories and experience are playing a large role in my decision making and attitude. Though I'm still me, the masseuse who just lived a simple life, I've also felt everything that's happened to him, as if I've lived to lives. Having the powers is cool and all but who actually want to fight with their life on the line.
Even in "old" age kratos was tired of fighting and just wanted to get away from it all. Settle down, have a family, and be at peace.
Sigh, now I have to deal with Supergirl too, hopefully, she just leaves me alone and doesn't tell the League about anything. It would be to much of a hassle, and it honestly has nothing to do with me.
...
Back with Lex Luthor
Lex POV
"Well that went rather well, don't you think Mercy?" -Lex
"Of course, and I'm very thankful you told me not use full power against him. From my assessment of his strength he would've killed me and without hesitation." -Mercy
"Mm, true, he is yet another alien life form appearing on my earth. When he arrived in the city and I received the alert I skeptical. He looked like any other man, just that the radar picked up massive fluctuation in magical energy from him and his weapons." Lex says putting his hand to his chin.
"What really caught my eye, were those weapons, if I could get a hold of them and conduct some research we could have a breakthrough in some of our experiments." Lex thought aloud.
'The entire reason I approached him personally was to see if I could win him over, and give him a generous deal. Plan B was to test assess his powers and get an idea in what he can do. I've been observing him since he came and it seems as if he was trying to stay low and blend in the entire time, turning a blind eye to all trouble, not like the so called heroes who jump into action. Interesting, what's his purpose? Why want to blend in? What is he after? These questions only lead to more.
I've looked for his profile and nothing is up, not even his name. He even went as far as to register for citizenship. True, meta humans have been popping up all over the place, but everything about him is foreign.
I won't get any answers anytime soon, so I'll keep him monitored. I'll also sell this information I have, to the mystics and mercenaries, and see what all he can do, because I'm sure that what he showed today, was only a drop in the bucket. He's trying to stay underground, but the ones who will come after him won't allow for that to happen.' Lex thought with his mind racing at the possibilities that this new 'alien' could bring for him.
He continues his way back to metropolis, now that his work, in this area is done.
...
Back in the Sanctuary
Kratos POV
I was searching for food in this place and believe it or not, I couldn't find a single thing. You would think, if this place is underwater, there would at least be food somewhere. Sigh.
"What do you think you're doing?" -???
"Looking for food, you have none here, you're a terrible hostess." I say without turning back to the girl.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't prepare to have a random viking in my base today!" she yells out.
" Girl, I'm not a viking, and quit with the theatrics, and get to the point, where I get to leave here." I correct her statement and ask directly, what I want to know.
She narrows her eyes, "You caused a spectacle today, luckily no one was around and I'm not the type to arrest you, for protecting yourself. What you need to do is get yourself together and leave my city."
"It's as you say, however, I would've left long ago had you not dragged me down here." I respond.
"I took you here, since I didn't want you in my home, near my family. They would take you in, for questioning and possible detainment." she says
I just nod at her.
"Now, I can't help you out that much, but I do know some people who can. They can get you a new identity and let you lead the life you want." she continues.
I raise my eyebrow, one second she's telling the next second she's trying to help me out. She has to be bipolar, that's the only way to explain this, I don't know if kryptontonians have periods or if that's a human girl thing, but bipolar is still the best guess.
"Fine, a place with no gods or high crime rates, no mystics, no metas in general. I don't want to be bothered with such things." I lay it out to her. I liked to watch the movies and play the games but I'll be damned if I get involved with the League and the constant multiversal crises they have.
"Not up to me." She says and walks away and goes to some machine.
BOOM
"Step in, this is how we get to our next destination." she motions me.
'No wonder it's called a boom tube.' I thought to myself and walk though.
...
As soon as, I get to the other side, in in an open deck area. I already realize I'm on the Watchtower.
A metal man with only half his face being human, walks up to us.
"Yo, Supergirl, got your contact and got everything he needs. A new ID, citizenship, and everything else he'll need. I don't know who he is, but I trust your judgement." -Cyborg says.
"Thanks Cyborg, don't worry, I already gave him the rundown on what's happening." -Supergirl
"No problem, as long as he stays low, he won't have any problems. Well, I've got more to do, I'll leave you guys to it." -Cyborg.
He walks away, and Kara opens up another book tube to the place I'll be living now.
...
We land in an alleyway.
"Where are we now?" I ask her immediately.
"Civic City, former base of the League, safest city since no one knows the League isn't on Earth anymore." She says folding her arms.
I just sigh at her answer. It doesn't matter, it's not like I gained Kratos's luck when inhabiting his body.
"Here's everything you'll need to start a new life. We got you into a job as a Bartender in the city. Much better than where you were at first. Atleast now you get to wear a suit." she says giggling at the thought of me in a suit.
"It's pretty classy, and you'll sometimes get to meet important people when they come down for conventions, and things." Then she just rushes off.
"That girl is no help at all." I voice out. I take a look at my ID, "They did a poor job at giving me a new ID as well, I still have the same name. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I'm hard to miss, and k was on the news."
They gave me a new phone, and I use the GPS to find my apartment location.
Making it in, I look around, it's fully furnished. They gave me a card with an account number with money to get me started.
"Not good, but not bad either. I'll take this as a start, and if it's like she said, no enemies will show up." I say then, start to set up runes markings around the place runes around the place for protection, noise and such things, then I eave to shop for clothes and groceries.
Enjoy, And before you ask, no his life won't be normal, and no be won't stay a bartender lol, remember he's a normal human too, and doesn't want those problems.
