Chapter 48

Looking around the house that was with basic decoration and pictures mainly filled with Aurora, Trixie and Chloe. Leonardo really wanted to drift away from the conversation at the moment. Introductions were done for the most part, now that awkward conversation that he tends to dread in television or movies was about to begin. Not to mention he has heard horror stories.

"So let's start off easy, how old are you? Where are you from? What are your dreams of the future? Finally, what can you provide for Aurora?" Chloe began.

Leonardo sweatdrops at all the questions and if this is considered easy. He is slightly scared of what was considered hard questions. So he lightly coughed at these questions as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"I am…seventeen maybe?" Leonardo started unsure.

He really gave up trying to keep track of his age since it didn't matter much to him at this point. Though if he is considered the twin brother of Clark then he is the same age as him. So after thinking quickly, he guessed he should be around seventeen or eighteen at the moment.

"From Smallville, Kansas. As for dreams, I don't know yet. I am currently just traveling the world to see what it has." Leonardo shrugged. "For what I can offer? Depends on what she wants since I tend to be relatively simple in needs."

"My man, you answered and at the same time didn't." Charlie whistled lightly. "Also you're only seventeen? Cousin, prepare to wear those silver cuffs."

"She won't be wearing those, also I really hate that gray area of that law." Chloe said.

"You don't dream of becoming a bestseller?" Trixie asked.

Shaking his head, "The only reason I wrote a book is to help my brother's family finances. The books that follow are just a hobby and stress relief when I'm not painting."

"You write quite a bit? Is your family that bad?" Linda asks.

"Them no, it is my brother's first love that is the issue." Leonardo replied honestly. "It made the few months I transferred into a nightmare as I was basically watched at all moments. For a while I couldn't even sip water before being searched for drugs or alcohol because a little miss perfect said I had them. I also couldn't enter the coffee shop without being escorted out or having food and drink thrown at me. For she ran the place."

Trixie just let out a small whistle. "She really hates you. What did you do to her?"

"If I recall, I just called her a prostitute and Lex Luthor her pimp. Not so far off since she does serve him with her body as she runs the coffee shop they are business partners in." Leonardo said as a few laughed. "After that it was just one attack after another on her end. So I must've hit close to home."

"There are more of you here?" Amenadiel asked.

"A few." Leonardo stated lightly.

He felt weird since it felt like the two were speaking some sort of code or doing some inside joke. Judging by a few looks and Aurora looks, he wasn't the only one. Yet he really wasn't comfortable opening up about being a Kryptonian or someone from another universe. Even if those at the table are either a demon, Adam second wife Eve from biblical times, or half angels or even an angel turn god himself.

Hence he decided to change the topic. "So Miss Trixie, I heard you are interested in becoming an astronaut?"

"Did my sister already tell you? Well I hope to go into space one day and see the planet." Trixie smiled. "It is quite the sight or I hear."

Leonardo smiled as it was quite the sight. Maybe he should try to take a picture, then it got him wondering. Can Angels go into space?

While Leonardo continued to chat with them and answer questions thrown his way. He suddenly heard a loud pitch sound that nearly made him rub his forehead. Him and Clark really need to work on a sound that wouldn't give them a near pounding headache when they hear it.

Turning his head to the side slightly. He turned his super hearing so he could hear Clark's voice who was all the way in Kansas.

"Leo, I need you to catch a plane." Clark said which made Leonardo pause for a moment.

Excusing himself at the table for a moment, he stepped out of the room. Then in a curious whisper and annoyed tone as he whispers so softly that the others in the dining room can't hear. Even the ones with enhanced hearing.

"Clark, now is really not a good time."

"It's Pete's plane and I would go there myself, but…I still can't fly." Clark replied. "It should be easy after the training."

"Fine, but you go to the offshore oil rig down in Mexico. The one that is subpar in what is legal. It has issues and will begin leaking into the sea soon if not fixed." Leonardo said. "Also, we need to work on getting you flying."

Looking over to the dining room, Leonardo vanished in a small gust of wind. Unlike Clark who tends to make paper fly each time he enters the room more because it is fun. He didn't and he rather tried to make his small disappearance not as noticeable.

Rocketing through the sky, Leonardo put his glasses into a pocket while he raced towards the plane in question. An engine seemed to be on fire and quickly engulfed the right wing thrust sending the plane spiraling out of the sky.

Then he looked over to the side and saw two jets racing there with missiles. Which he knew was a protocol set in place due to the terrorism attack a few years ago by the government.  Hence, Leonardo sped up his flight causing a series of sonic booms.

While taking a deep breath, Leonardo scanned the plane window to see that it was no accident. It looked like someone put an explosive in the wing and some sort of liquid that made the wing burn quickly. It's just they didn't count on the plane material to be that great. It slowed down the burning otherwise, he wouldn't be saving the ones inside but burnt corpses.

Freezing the wing as the fire was put out. Leonardo grabbed the other wing to stop the plane from spinning. Just while one wing was great, the other was terribly built as it nearly instantly snapped off. Which made him wonder if they put the explosive on the wrong side.

Now facing the plummeting plane, turn a large missile. Leonardo raced down and got in front of the plane. Then braced himself as he placed his hands on the nose and pushed up to counteract the plane force and weight.

'Catch a plane he said. It should be easy.' Leonardo thought. 'Easy my foot.'

While getting up and close to the nose on a very uncomfortable level. Leonardo knew the plane was slowing down and came to a stop about a dozen or two feet from the ground. Looking around, he looked around for a spot to drop the plane as he was above an expressway and lines of cars before him. Leonardo notices an officer staring up at him in shock as a donut in hand.

"You wouldn't happen to know where I can put this down. It's a bit heavy." Leonardo asked him.

"There is a field about a mile or two that way." He pointed to his left.

"Great, can you get the medics and everyone else there? Thanks." Leonardo said as he flew in that direction with the plane.

The officer numbly went over to his radio and did as he was asked. Still not believing seeing what he just saw as it is hard to believe a teenager by the looks of it can fly and lift an airplane.

--

Sitting the plane down, Leonardo went over to the door and ripped it off, before stepping inside. While dozens of faces looked at him, he simply scanned them all to see if anyone was seriously hurt. While most have a couple cuts and bruises, he didn't see anything wrong that requires him to fly them to the nearest hospital. Then his eyes drifted over to Pete and his mother were fine.

"Just stay in your seats, the rescue team will be here soon and help you off." Leonardo spoke loudly, hating public speaking. "Also, personally I would ask for a refund on this rollercoaster of a flight."

A few laughed which was a good sign as their tension and fear dwindled. After which, Leonardo waved them by and left. He had to run back to dinner though he would need to clean up first.
