Ch.1

We stepped through on an even more alien planet than we left. We found a small tribe of aliens surrounding a god! The first we'd ever met with flesh not forced on them. He sensed our arrival and turned to us. He spoke in a language that sounded vaguely familiar but incomprehensible at the same time.

I frowned and touched the minds of the villagers and found the language. When I finished, I could understand him completely. He had asked. "Who are you, friends. This planet was just made by me for my chosen people. If you've come to be friends, I welcome it, but if you've come to do harm, you're in for a fight."

I shared the knowledge of the language with Bonnie and Ayana before answering. "We are exploring realities. We aren't here for battle, only to understand this reality and perhaps find some gods of death and magic to consume. All other gods are irrelevant to our needs. As I can tell you are a sun god we mean you no ill will."

He seemed relieved. "In that case you are welcome to join us for a time at least. I intend to see my people off on the right track before letting them grow on their own."

I nodded. "As any god should."

We spent time among them and when I recognized their chemical makeup I asked the god of the sun. "What is your name?"

He smiled. "I am Rao, the god of the sun and father of the Kryptonian race."

I went wide eyed before nodding. "Do you mind if I copy their physical body into my own, I'd only need one drop of blood."

He pierced his own hand and a drop of blood flew out. It hovered before me and I took it before giving him a drop of my blood with it's full essence in tact. He smiled and accepted. We both took each other's blood. I used my curse to absorb it and changed my physical body to add the Kryptonian gods aspects into my own. My physical body became many more times improved. Bonnie and Ayana did the same.

Now that my physical body could absorb the power of a yellow star, we stuck around and taught the Kryptonian god and his people all we knew of technology and sciences. We set the basis for their future foundation then, after fifty years, we left when Rao finally did.

We went to earth in its primordial state and hid ourselves deep in the earth. We had stored hundreds of billions of potentia for a moment like this when we could safely absorb them. Time lost all meaning as we entered the vault and started the process. Our curse purified the energy and it grew, strengthening our physical bodies further than ever before. Eventually it no longer effected us as much.

When I looked at the half empty vault room now, I sighed. "It's time we tried entering the sun. We'll have to sleep a long time as our bodies grow further."

They nodded and stood up. We were currently at the peak of the average Kryptonian under a yellow sun without including our god strength. The potentia sped up the process, and should allow us to keep the strength under any star now.

I broke us out of the ground and saw a foggy swamp world with prehistoric bugs. We flew up into the very young star and as we entered, our close burned off except our rings and necklaces, those I'd left in the ground with a barrier around them.

We entered the suns outer layer and stopped to absorb the energy, going asleep. I'm unaware how long it took for us to wake up, but when we did, we moved to the inner layer next, falling asleep again. One last time, we entered the core and there, it was barely tolerable by our physical bodies. It was almost painful as it burned us. We fell asleep once more after adjusting.

When we woke up, it no longer affected us at all. Our bodies felt full and unable to surpass our current form as we were. Our physical form now almost matched our god strength, making it double over all. Now our spiritual energy and soul strength had a lot of room to grow and strengthen.

Feeling like I could multiply my territory in the realm of death by hundreds of thousands of times, I left it as was for now as I had a plan for it. Where as Bonnie began reaching out into the territory of other gods and goddesses of magic, killing and absorbing them and their territory.

I followed her over and watched her work. It was beautiful to see her in action. She declared war on a hundred gods and ate them all. When she finished, her territory expanded my a great deal. Many worlds that worshiped the gods she killed, now worshiped her by proxy. Including several Buffy realities as she killed several versions of Hecate.

Those that now worshipped her by default, helped stabilize her power more. When she was done and meditating, Ayana asked for my help to watch over her as well as she decided starting with the death realm. After Bonnie was done, we watched over Ayana as she killed and consumed nearly a thousand gods of death. Her territory was right next to mine now and hers was even larger than mine by many times.

While she meditated to steady her realm, Bonnie asked. "Are you going to do it as well?"

I shook my head. "I have a plan, but it will take a while to come to fruition. For now, you girls will be far stronger than me. And that, I can get used to, love."

She smiled a smile that promised domination of me in a way we'd both enjoy. When Ayana stood up again, we descended to our bodies and left the sun. When we landed on earth, I felt around the planet for a time reference. It took us almost nine billion years to reach where we were.

Our bodies were to the point that if we were not absolutely in control of them, the planet would be space dust when we landed. I found we were just at the point where Clark Kent was just joining freshman year. We went to the closest diner and I got online.

I used my years of advanced computer experience as a leader of the Alteran's to make a bank account with the largest banks in the world and steal billions of dollars from cartels and terrorists all over the world, emptying all their accounts but one dollar apiece into several Swiss accounts and back out, bouncing it all over the world in a random chaotic way that cleared any possibility of them tracking it. When it finished bouncing around, it landed in our accounts while I used my powers to give the three of us fake IDs.

I created a cover story for us as three orphans of rich families that were killed on a boating accident in the southern China sea. It had accident reports and everything. We were covered in all aspects, Bonnie and Ayana got to be neighbor's of Lana Lang as they were taken in by a nice family there and I was living with a butler that moved me out here to teach me the meaning of hard work.

Said butler was actually a bot I'd created to look human and act as a real tough butler and mentor. He bought the farm right next to the Kent's from an older couple. I would take over the field work after school and do chores around the farm.

I spent the weekend getting settled in. My younger form was uncomfortable at first and took some getting used to. I spent the weekend doing farm chores and getting used to it. I scanned the fields and dug up all the kryptonite while storing it all in separate vaults.

I found a little blue, tons of green and some red. They each tried to effect me, but my time in the sun made it practically useless against me. On the bright side, I took that time to turn my fields very fertile and added the same effects to the Kent's fields next door.

My butler bought twenty heads of cattle and five horses for me to take care of. On the bright side, it was easy enough to complete. While he spent his time enrolling me in school with my fake school records. Not that anyone could actually tell the difference, as it was real enough to human eyes.

I got up early for the bus and found that Clark was missing when I went to the stop. I handed the driver my papers to prove I was apart of this stop from now on before heading to the back of the bus. I sat not far from Pete and Chloe as Bonnie and Ayana made room for me.

When I sat down, they slid on my lap and started making out with me. After a few minutes we were interrupted by Chloe. "Excuse me, but are you three new to town?"

Bonnie pulled away and explained our background and that we grew up together and were supposed to be married to each other when we were older as our parents planned it all. Pete muttered something like 'Lucky guy' while Chloe blushed and looked away as we continued.

She notified us we were at school and that we might want to stop. I chuckled and they slid off my lap to stand up. I joined them saying thanks for her efforts as they were insatiable. Pete was cursing me under his breathe before he asked. "Are you going to join the football team?"

I chuckled. "Pass. I take martial arts to deal with any anger issues I may have and learn to control my body and mind. I don't think running into a bunch of sweaty guys is necessary to release my pent up aggression."

Bonnie smirked. "Not when there are other more pleasurable ways to do so."

I rubbed the back of my head and followed her as she grabbed my shirt and pulled me forwards. Ayana said goodbye to them for us before following to the office to get our schedules. When we were done, we joined Chloe, Clark and Pete in math. After a boring class, Chloe offered us a job at the torch. Bonnie and Ayana decided against it in favor of cheerleading while I took it up.

She smiled when I told her. "I'd love to. I already have an idea for my first story. I emptied my fields of these weird rocks that seem to glow. There all kinds of them, I found a lot of green and red, and a few blue as well. It's weird, I'd never heard of these things before I came to town."

Chloe nodded. "They're meteor rocks, though I've never heard of blue or red. They must be rarer then the rest."

I shrugged. "I'm thinking we should fund a movement to have all rocks cleaned up out of our fields. I haven't a clue if they're radioactive or not, so I'm playing it cautiously. My butler/guardian is talking the mayor into a city wide cleanup and hopefully, if the townspeople agree, the rocks will be checked for radiation and sent to the labs for testing. I'll fund the movement of course and all the cleanup and any loss of time on the townspeople's part. I just don't want to grow a third arm out of my forehead or something."

She laughed. "You're crazy you know that? I've lived my whole life in this town without any health problems."

I shrugged. "Knowing my luck, it'll be me that proves it right by becoming a human unicorn."

She snorted in laughter and before sighing. "Alright, I look forward to your first story."

I nodded and she showed me to the torch computers and assigned me one. I typed up the a story around it and saved it before heading to my next class. I spent my lunch period with Bonnie and Ayana in an intense make out session.

Several jocks made derogatory remarks and a few cheerleaders as well. We ignored them in favor of each other's lips. After lunch, I spent my gym class getting grilled by the guys who I ignored like they weren't there.

After school, I was told about the scarecrow tradition by Chloe and I suggested she do a piece on it to shame all those that've ever done it. I figured If she was that angry about it, then she should express it in the story. She thanked me for the suggestion and we got to work. I got a call on my Nokia cell phone, from my butler bot, saying it had struck a deal with the mayor.

It would fund all meteor cleanup and the towns people could turn in the meteors they have for cash by weight. If they had any on their property, the town would clean it up and the people and the town would both be compensated richly.

I wrote it all in my article and showed Chloe it. She promised it would be front page news tomorrow and her scarecrow story would break next week. With that finished, I noticed the wall of weird. When I pointed it out, she explained it and I pointed out the meteor rocks may be behind the strange things.

She didn't disagree but she pointed out that we'd need proof and that was something we wouldn't have for awhile. When I left the torch, it was getting dark, so I had my butler bot pick me up. While I worked In the fields as dusk was setting, butler bot was making moves to purchase the local quarries and have all the meteorites dug up.

The story broke the next day at school and all over town. I made more bots to come in and help with the cleanup, while I made a history for Heretic industries in this world. It was a quiet but powerful company that was global in its reach.

Not much was known other than it had it's hands in the field of medicine and bio-agriculture. The employees were mostly bots while they were hiring qualified people to take their places slowly. This people would be screened by me before they were hired. After it was set up as it should be, I focused on my day at school.

Chloe was ecstatic that the torch was getting such a feedback and over the course of the day, many people were talking about it, most were afraid of becoming sterile from the radiation exposure. By lunch, the topic was on everyone's lips.

Towards the end of the day, I was at the torch doing my next follow up article on it. Butler bot had confirmed that radiation was active in the rocks, though in small amounts. I put it all in my article and wrote that long term exposure could have unwanted side effects.

I added in that Heretic industries was going to fund research into it to determine how bad it could get and what side affects could occur. I turned it in to Chloe and she muttered about possibly putting her out of a job as editor. I chuckled. "I'd never do such a thing. You're my first friend I've made here in town. Bonnie and Ayana don't count as we've known each other all our lives."

I went home not long after that before teleporting to the new Heretic industries location in Metropolis to scan the possible new hires. After weeding out the spies from other companies, I approved of nearly two dozen employees.

The bots hired them and I left. The bots spent time getting patents under my name for the things they're making and several broke off to make close friends with government types to push through new drugs that could save thousands of lives.

I spent my evening doing farm work for awhile before Ayana and Bonnie showed up. Then we had our first literal roll in the hey. By dinner time, we all sat down at the table in my place and the bot reported several tons of meteorites have been turned in along with the bots cleaning up a lot from farm lands with scanners to let them know where it all is.

The meteorites were shipped to Heretic industries where they were sent to a private lab where only bots worked at the moment. All they really did was store it all for now and guard it.

The next day at school, I heard many families received healthy sized checks and cashed them making a pretty penny off it all. The story confirming the radiation blew up the school with buzzing and noise. Several people like Lana, had pieces of it on them.

Lana herself had already given hers to Whitney for luck before the story broke. During lunch, a group of jocks once again tried to bug myself and my girlfriends. One of them went so far as to ask if I would be willing to share them like they seemed to be doing to me.

I turned to him and straightforwardly said. "Piss off. The last thing they need is to hear about your inadequacy and mommy issues."

That went over as well as a bag of dynamite in a bonfire. The other jokes had to hold their friend back while Bonnie and Ayana laughed along with the rest of the cafeteria.

The coach happened to be walking by the cafeteria and saw the jocks holding their friend back while everyone else laughed. He came over and asked. "Is there a problem here?"

I shook my head. "Football boy here was just leaving. I'm sure he has to go get ready for the spotlight at the dance tonight. Maybe do his hair or something."

The jock in question said I was dead and I raised an eyebrow. "Was that a threat? If that's all you're good for, save it for the spotlight Ken, I'm sure Barbie will be your friend."

More laughter rang out and I turned to the coach as he grabbed the jock and whispered the suggestion to make an example out of me in the cornfields later tonight. Towards the end of the day, I hung out with Chloe. When the jocks came to the torch to find me, she tried telling them off. When they wouldn't listen and tried to grab me, I opened up a can of whoop ass on them.

I had them on the ground in moments, groaning in agony. I kicked them each In the temple saying. "I'd stay and play doctor, but I've lost my patience with you. The next time you come at me, you'll all be visiting the hospital for a descent stay. When you wake up, piss off."

Chloe looked downright impressed with me. "Think you could teach me some of those moves?"

I nodded. "Sure, for now though, I've got a tux to pick up and some dangerously gorgeous woman to dance with. If you finish in time, why don't you join us? I'd save a dance for you and I'm sure it'll be the talk of the town if you want to dance with Ayana and Bonnie."

She smiled. "Thanks, I think I will. Besides, it'll give the people something else to talk about. Speaking of which do Bonnie and Ayana-"

I chuckled. "Enjoy each other?"

She blushed and nodded. I smiled. "Yes, they enjoy each other as i enjoy them and them me. Don't think of joining us though, we're a closed relationship, so no fun for you, sorry."

She shook her head laughing. "I wouldn't if I could, I already like someone else."

I nodded. "Clark."

She blushed again. "Is it that obvious?"

I nodded again. "To everyone but him. Just like how Pete feels the same about you. It's hard for most people to see what's right in front of them. I've seen the looks you all seem to miss. Clark likes Lana, you like Clark and Pete likes you. A weird train of sexual frustration is what I can make out of it. Good luck though, I wish you the best. And don't forget to join us for a few dances will you."

I left her speechless and stunned worse than the jocks on the floor. I went to pick up my tux at a local boutique and had it fitted before renting a limo from Metropolis. When the limo arrived, I went to pick up Bonnie and Ayana before heading to the school dance.

As with the car crash the yesterday, I ignored the obvious fight sounds between a demented scarecrow and Clark. I focused on enjoying my girls, dancing every other son as we changed dance partners with each song. Every now and then they'd dance together and draw looks and whispers.

Chloe showed up towards the end and had a few dances with us. When we came out of the school gym, the limo was waiting on us while the jocks, including Whitney, got a rude awakening. Their trucks were stacked on top of each other.

I got a quick laugh and offered Chloe a ride home with us. After we dropped her off, we went back to my place. Bonnie slipped out for a minute to destroy a perv cam in Lana's room while cloaked. She left just as Lana entered her house.

After an amazing night of relaxation and sex, I skipped school the next day to turn in the produce from the farm to the farmers market. I was busy setting up a stall and hearing the conversations going on. When it was all set up, butler bot, I'd taken to calling Jarvis, worked the stall while I walked around.

I found Clark and Pete outing up the stall sign for the Kent's and when Pete left, I saw Clark push the nail in with his thumb. I walked over. "Damn Clark, that's some strength you got there."

He looked freaked and mumbled an excuse that it was rotted wood. I chuckled and lowered my voice. "No need to lie Clark, you're not the only one that's different. Why do you really think my company is funding a meteor cleanup?"

He narrowed his eyes. "I thought It was because of the radiation the rocks give off."

I smirked. "That's true. It's just not the whole truth. The rocks have some weird effect on me. I found out over the weekend when I started working the fields. The green makes me feel sick. So I told my guardian, Jarvis and he started everything to fund a cleanup. Radiation from it must have some kind of ill effects on people and it's more subtle in most except for me for some reason. Anyway, I started feeling stronger once I was away from them, and now I could probably bench press a building."

I held out my hand. "Care to see whose stronger?"

He shook his head. "I think I'll pass. Though it is nice not to be alone."

I shrugged. "Suit yourself. If you feel like talking sometime, I live right next door. Oh and tell your parents if they want a full cleanup of the rocks, they can cash in a pretty big check if they have a lot of rocks on their land. My people are discrete."

He smiled. "I think I'll do that."

I left him as Pete came over. I walked around and ran into Lana. I made some small talk and she asked about Bonnie and Ayana. I told her of our unconventional relationship and she asked about several very pointed spots.

I chuckled. "You and Chloe are the same, very thorough in your questions. Yes they have their own fun together, no I don't feel inadequate as they come to me for our own fun, together or separate. That's all I'll be saying as you're far to innocent to hear more. How's the three way on your end?"

She frowned. "What's that supposed to mean?"

I chuckled. "Whitney clearly loves you, though he is a dick. Clark seems to have a crush on you, props for that, it's like he's head over heels sometimes. My point is, why don't you see about having your own double fun. It's not odd for a woman to need or have more than one partner at the same time."

She blushed deeply and her words went incoherent. I started laughing my ass off. When I caught my breath, I told her. "Not really the best feeling being poked and prodded for personal questions is it? I meant no harm by it though. It's just a suggestion that's all."

She finally regained her wits. "I think I'll pass on that. Thanks for the suggestion but I'm a one guy at a time kind of girl."

I nodded. "Maybe, but then again, Whitney may have his own needs. I saw him getting pretty close to Clark the other day, I even saw him put your necklace on Clark before taking off with him. I thought it was a lovers spat, but if it's not, then I should probably be calling the cops as kidnapping is a crime."

She went pale and tried explaining what they did. I nodded. "Then it's kidnapping and assault. Mental torture and physical assault is pretty messed up even in sociopaths. Whitney may be a study case."

She looked ashamed and begged me not to turn him in. I sighed. "Tell you what, if he asks Clark's forgiveness first, then he's a jock stereo type and mostly just a dick. If he asks for your necklace back and doesn't even apologize, then he's a sociopath that's trying to fix your trust and couldn't possibly care less."

She frowned and I held out my arm. "Let's go listen in on which it is, they're about to meet over there."

I led her over just within earshot of them and out of their line of sight. I put a finger to my lips and we listened in. I turned the volume up a little around us by exciting the vibrating particles in the air within a decent distance around us. It made it sound like they were talking not but a few feet away.

We listened in and walked around stalls while we listened in on them. Whitney called it a prank and demanded the necklace back. Clark told him to look for it in the cornfield Whitney left him in.

When they walked away, I told her. "You have your answer. Your with a sociopath or a psychopath. Either way, it's not a good sign. Good luck with that, if you want, I won't turn him in, but if he pulls that crap again, I'll make sure he's locked away where he can't go from torturing people mentally and physically to murdering them on a whim."

I saw a guy I recognized coming towards us. I covered my voice with static as I told her. "You have another stalker coming over. This one seems harmless, but they all do until they don't. I hope you have a better day from now on."

I left her to that and went to see Lex helping Clark while talking to him. I walked over. "Lex Luther, playboy extraordinaire. It's been awhile."

He turned to see me and snorted. "Been awhile indeed. How's the parents? Last I heard they were fixing to sail around the world with the other billionaire snobs."

I sighed. "They died. Some freak storm in the middle of the sea. The Queen's went with them to do some business or the other. So whose your new flavor of the day? Don't tell me you hit on Thea again? Not after she nut checked you last time."

He snorted and looked away saying. "I'll see you around Clark. I prefer not to stick around Mikaelson's if I can help it. They have a tendency to get violent."

I chuckled. "Only against dumb ass party boys that grab my girlfriend's asses and ask for a ride."

He looked sour as he left. Clark asked. "What was that about?"

I smirked. "Nothing much. I gave him a beating in front of his daddy after he got drunk and tried to convince Bonnie and Ayana to give him a fun time. I don't like to be touched by others not them, and when he grabbed their asses and shoved his finger into my chest telling to go whine to someone who cares when I told him to piss off, I went off on him. His father lost a big deal he was trying to rope my parents into and was to embarrassed to file a restraining order against a fifteen year old at the time. Lex was punished then from what I hear, he was sent here when he screwed up again not long afterwards."

Clark suggested. "Maybe he's changed?"

I chuckled. "Sure, people can change, but he also knows I'd beat him half to death if he came after my girls again. Unlike him, I don't need my parents to clean up my messes."

He looked at me confused and I sighed. "Rich kids like myself and Lex are usually raised by maids and butlers. He was shipped off to boarding school while I was given personal tutors to train me in everything from basic math and science to business and languages. I speak nearly every basic language out there. My only stopping points are the different regional dialects of them. I could go to college right now and major in business if I wanted to. But my guardian and parents agreed I need a real school life with people and experiences instead of being a child prodigy. So when my parents went missing in the storm and were presumed dead, I was sent here where I'll stay until I'm eighteen and either take over the company or go to college."

Clark frowned. "I'm sorry about your parents."

I shrugged. "Don't be. They adopted me to make themselves look good and left me to my butler, Jarvis. He's great, but parents wise, I barely knew them. Hell, I've barely said a few words to them my whole life."

He asked. "You were adopted?"

I nodded. "I was when I was four, before that I was in an orphanage. They reminded me of it every time they saw me. Like I was supposed to be grateful they picked me to be their photogenic child. They kept saying I should be grateful they found me when I did or I could have ended up a Luthor. Anyway, long story short, me and Lex have a short and violent history. Be friends with him all you want, but I want nothing to do with him or his thuggish father."

I left him to think on that and went to pack up the stall as we were sold out. Our produce was simply better than most everyone else's but the Kent's. After I finished taking down the stall, we left back to the house. Jarvis was busy buying up all the land in and around Smallville, including an old foundry and a certain land above some Native American caves.

The rock quarry was already bought and was being cleaned out of all the meteor rocks. Jarvis's next project was donating money to the city to fix up any damage done by our people and donating to the hospital to upgrade everything about it.

Heretic industries was busier than ever as they branched out to computers and electronics and upgraded the basic technologies of this world. They spent billions to clean up third world countries and do the same as they did on the previous earth. All over the world they acted as one to bring this world truly kicking and screaming into the twenty first century.

The company released an atmosphere cleaning and repairing system that the government's all over the world bought to clean it all up. Heretic industries released a few cures for diseases with some senators and congressmen pocketing a lot of money to push it all through.

Smallville received millions to fix the town and upgrade all its town facilities and even school computers. Figuring that was enough for the first couple months, I had Jarvis tone it down while keeping the funding for the meteor rocks going and holding an open drive in town where people could turn them in for cash, no matter the color of rock they turn in.

It took on a life of its own from there. I heard the next day that Whitney was in the hospital from a car accident. When I saw Lana was going to go back to him, I gave up. I tried and I'm not her minder, if she chooses a douchebag, she gets a douchebag.

Over the next week I kept my head down and worked at the torch releasing stories on school event while Chloe's story on the scarecrow broke finally and named names. A lot of people were in trouble including the coach who was given a last warning and told any further trouble and he'd be fired. The only reason he wasn't already fired was because of his pull with the school board as former members of his teams were on it

The jocks who were participants this time were suspended including Whitney who was still in the hospital. Clark was offered counseling along with an apology by the school board and coach. The school board was pressured into kicking the jocks that participated off the team as well to cover their own asses from past mistakes.

When the news spread to the town, the people were outraged and many former football players that participated in the past, lost their jobs and some friends. It just goes to show small towns can carry big secrets.

I heard about bug boy's death after he murdered his mother. I found my new story in the social hierarchies of the school. I wrote about each group of people from an outsiders perspective and gave my personal thoughts on each one. That lasted for a week until the coach did his bit by giving some of the jocks test answers.

Principal Kwan's car was set on fire while he was in it and I was there to take a photo of Clark saving him. I made sure it looked normal, but he still looked pretty heroic when I printed it the next day along with the story.

Clark showed up at the torch during lunch the next evening to ask me about what I saw. I chuckled. "You were pretty heroic Clark, I caught the tail end of your save but even still, it's pretty brave if you. That was intense."

He let it go and I went on with my day while keeping an ear out for him.

The week passed and everything went back to normal. Or at least as normal as Smallville got. The coach burned himself alive in his office trying to stop Clark from exposing him during the football game. Chloe did an exposé on it as a meteor infected coach that started fire with his mind.

I spent my days in school and my evenings in the fields after stopping by several Heretic industries world wide, screening for moles in the company and hiring everyone clean.

One evening I went inside to find both Bonnie and Ayana waiting for me in my room. When I walked in, Ayana waved a hand closing and locking the door while throwing up a barrier. Bonnie spoke. "We've been here nearly a month now and we want that domination you spoke of. We've decided to take it."

Chains appeared out of the walls and strung me up. A gag appeared in my mouth when I went to speak and things escalated quickly from there. By morning I was covered in hot candle wax and whip marks all over while my back looked like an angry cats scratching post.

I swore to myself never to look at the room in a black light. I shifted a little and drew moans from both of them while they slept like satisfied sex demons snuggled on my chest.

Their powers blocked mine from healing me automatically while it came with an almost orgasmic pain and pleasure mixture. The next day we got up for school and cleaned up the mess. They forbid me from healing my wounds and let them heal like a mortals.

School was awkward and eventually gym happened. While I was changing, I heard several people whispering about my love wounds. When Pete got up the nerve to ask about them, I said loud enough for the other guys to hear. "Just great sex. They'll heal eventually, but I'll get more over time. Bonnie and Ayana seemed to like it rough."

That got people talking and I joined them on the gym floor for laps and dodgeball. Whistles went out and rumors spread. When they heard them, Bonnie and Ayana smiled and looked at me like I was in for more.

I smiled back and whispered. "You said not to heal them and I can't go around saying I have an abusive guardian. Best you get used to it."

Bonnie and Ayana confirmed the questions saying it was fun and very satisfying to let out their inner lioness. Rumors pretty much spread like wildfire from there. I kicked ass in dodgeball even at human speeds my reflexes were at their peak.

My story for the torch was basically a cover piece on education versus sports scholarships. I encouraged jocks that think they can slide through high school and college on sports alone to pick up a book and think about their futures as it wasn't to bright for thoughts that fail at getting a football scholarship or get injured while playing, even in college.

I argued that America needed more doctors and scientists than steroid pushers and fractured skulls. It was a powerful piece in my opinion and Chloe seemed to like it, but the jocks in question seemed to ignore it all together.

The beginning of December rolled around and Chloe told me about a party at crater lake the next day. So that night I went to the lake and emptied out all the meteor rocks from under the ice. As I left, I froze the lake solid and went home to shower. I'd gained a small hill of green meteor rocks from inside that lake.

The next evening I had Jarvis buy me a truck and two kegs of beer from Metropolis. When I showed up at the party with the kegs I was hailed a hero. I brought out blankets and started a bonfire. It was cold to the mortals and a good enough excuse for me to snuggle up with my wives.

I cast a small warming spell ten feet around the fire to help those around us get comfortable. When Chloe and Clark showed up, I passed Chloe a blanket saying. "Last one, if you two are cold, you'll have to share."

Chloe gave me a thankful look but was disappointed when Clark said he was fine. A jock came over and started flirting with Chloe and when Whitney called him away to play a game, Bonnie got up and took Chloe's hand saying. "Come with me."

She led her away to listen to the douchebags words in the tree line. I heard her tell the jock to lose her number. She came back with Bonnie with tears in her eyes. Bonnie sat down and cuddled with her while I did the same with Ayana.

When the pizza got here, I grabbed my order and set it between the four of us. We had a better night from there as I pulled out the makings of s'mores from my truck a little after the pizza was gone. I had a few beers before finally deciding it was time to head home. I dropped Chloe and Clark off before taking Bonnie and Ayana back to my place for more fun.

I've decided that if rooms could talk, mine would scream 'no more!' or become a voyeur. The next day Clark earned himself a date with Lana and a limo ride curtesy of Lex. That day the Kent's sold most of their meteor rocks that amounted to nearly double what I got from the lake for fifty-seven grand.

A fair price, I think, considering they weren't really doing anything with them. It helped them pull out of the debt that was hanging over their heads and encouraged others to do the same. The nursing home sold what was in their pond and the money funded repairs and upgrades to their facilities.

A month later Heretic industries launched their new product lines of smartphones and tablets. The medicine side got the medical beds with hologram scanners to see what was wrong with the patients in real time. And finally the agriculture side got super crops that grew in any environment.

The best part was the new waste cleaners. All over the world, oceans and rivers were now being cleaned up as the cleaners turned all materials it came across into raw nutrients for the plants. Entire landfills were emptied out over night. Sewer systems were being cleaned as well as cities bought the cleaners for themselves.

In a dark city far away, the smog that covered it began to clear as the atmosphere was cleaned up. Back in Smallville, I was volunteering at the health care facility with Lana and Clark. Bonnie and Ayana were busy with cheerleading practice at the moment.

I noticed Lana going for a walk outside with an old man in a wheelchair. I on the other hand went into a certain blind woman's room where Clark just got his future told. He didn't look pleased when he left. I sat down in his chair saying. "You sure spooked him."

She nodded. "Are you here to get your future told as well?"

I chuckled. "Sorry love, but you can't see mine. I'm not from this reality. Even if you could see it, it would stretch into eternity, farther than even Clark's."

Her eye's went wide. "If you don't mind, I'd like to ask-"

I smiled. "What or who I am? It's ok, I'm not like the old man that would've gotten his youth. No, I'm not a serial killer or a sociopath. Though I may be crazy after living so long already."

I said it in jest and continued. "The answer is simple and complicated. I am a god for lack of a better term."

She snorted and I chuckled. "How about I prove it to you. I'll restore your sight and let you keep your visions."

I waved my hand, sending a pulse of power into her optic nerves and repairing them to perfect condition. When she saw me, she panicked an I chuckled. "Don't be alarmed child. I mean no ill will to anyone here. I am merely observing while saving a few lives from needless deaths. Speaking of which, I'm afraid you don't have long before your heart gives out. Your body is failing you I'm afraid."

She nodded. "That's what happens when we mortals get old, we die."

I nodded solemnly. "I know that all to well. I've lost many I care about to time and death. Funnily enough, I'm a god of death myself and I despise my own powers most of the time."

She nodded. "Understandable. To be constantly watching mortals die. It would take a toll on the stoutest of souls."

I sighed. "Have a nice day then. And when you pass, remember to tell Lex Luther the white wolf god is watching. Do that and I'll help you cross the domain into a land of peace where your loved ones await you. And remember-"

She nodded. "Don't tell anyone. That's a given with you being what you are."

I chuckled. "I guess it is. Anyway, take care and I'll see you when it's time."

I walked out to help with the other patients and heard one of the residents was electrocuted and drowned in the pond. I saw Lana crying and went over. I comforted her when she told me what happened saying. "You couldn't have known he'd send you away so he could smoke."

She cried a little longer before I took her home. Seeing as taking the rocks out of the pond was successful, I sent Jarvis to Dr.Hamilton's place and had him buy up all the real meteor rocks and hire the doctor for the labs to find cures for those afflicted by them. I made sure to include a healthy bonus check and various safety procedures added on as I knew they were dangerous to handle.

He almost didn't agree when he saw all the precautions he'd have to take while handling them. Such as a lead lined hazmat suit and anti radiation pills. Plus searches in and out of the labs to make sure none of them got out. He led my people to most of the impact zones that we'd missed and they cleaned them all up while giving him a very large check.

I scanned all of Smallville when they finished to fined the rest and sent bots to clean each sight that was unowned. The owned ones were given offers and many took them. The bots harvested everything from black to red and green with some gold mixed in. I put the black and gold in my vault immediately and let the rest be taken to the labs.

A few days later the seer passed while speaking to Lex. She saw his future but instead of becoming president and standing on a mass grave while the sky rains blood, she saw my wolf form tearing him limb from limb and eating his body and soul. She told him to beware the white wolf god just as she passed and I was there waiting for her soul.

I guided her to her friends and family as promised before going back myself. Over the next few weeks I tried buying as much of the meteor rocks as possible and managed to acquire nearly ninety percent of them.

The only family holding out was a garden farming one that was using the rocks in their vegetable garden. Their land was hit by one of the biggest meteorites. I left it for now but the day Jodi started getting thinner, I waited until she was trying to lure the jock in the basement and I stuck. I knocked both of them out before draining the meteorite abilities out of her with my curse.

She threw up the mixture from the diet she was on and I made it incompatible with her body. She could no longer take any more without throwing it all up. A couple days after Lana's birthday party, that Clark escorted her to because Lex pulled some strings with a scout to try out Whitney even though he was kicked of the high school team, I made an even steeper offer to buy all meteor rocks on Jodi's land for three times what I'd paid before.

They agreed when I told them it was my last offer before I just wrote off the cleanup as finished. A couple days after that, I had several tons of green meteorite and about a ton of red while the rest was far less. When I scanned Smallville again, I couldn't find any on lands I could get to. The rest was on Luthercorp properties.

I let it go for now while compelling the workers to keep secret records of the experiments and the original blueprints of Luthercorp's facilities. When Clark came to school one day talking about a party at his place, I suggested he pack away anything breakable before the party.

When we arrived at his house, I unclogged his toilet pipes with a wave of my hand to prevent any trouble. I kept to the couch while making out with my girls and listening to music. I ordered a hundred pizzas for the party in case people got hungry. They showed up just as the fireworks started.

When I saw him talking to Clark, I unhooked the tailgate of my truck and hopped on while pulling my girls up to me. I unfurled a blanket and we watched the fireworks in peace. Eventually I saw Clark following Lana to the barn. The party ended a few hours later.

Clark was at the hospital so I chased everyone out at three in the morning before cleaning up. When I was done, I pulled Bonnie and Ayana to the couch for some light fun. We left a little later to finish our playing at my house. Honestly, the house was completely clean and fixed when we left.

Even the bathrooms were working fine. I came over in the early morning when I knew Clark would be arriving. Clark let me in when I told him Bonnie left something here. I searched around and couldn't find it. I scratched my head then turned to the Kent's at the bottom of the stairs.

Johnathan was holding a bra in his hand. "Ah, there it is. Bonnie lost it not long after Clark left."

I took it from him and stuffed it in my back pocket. Martha was angry and mentioned a party. I put on my best bullshitting face and lied to save him. "Actually, you'll find the people you talked to were me and my girlfriends. We speak four dozen languages between us so it's rather easy to disguise our voices."

I repeated the same words in various languages before stopping and saying. "The reason we did it was because Clark invited us and his close friends over for a quiet night in with pizza. When he left to check out something in the barn, I may have gotten bored and turned on some music and decided to mess with you when you called several times."

Martha retorted. "Where were your manners messing with people like that? What would your parents say?"

I sighed. "I don't know, they're dead. But if you're worried about the bra situation, I may have been dared to wear it while standing on my head. When a girl that kisses like Bonnie does, dares you to do something-"

Johnathan chuckled. "We get it. Anyway, we'd like a word alone with Clark."

I saluted and turned around mouthing. 'Good Luck' before leaving in a hurry to my place. I found both girls bra-less and naked to boot. It may have set me in a mood. After an hour of constant sex, we had to get ready for school. We were sent on a field trip to Luthorcorp where we were given the nickel tour.

Clark asked about level three and Chloe's dad spoke of alien research. I snorted. "Well aren't you a racist."

That got everyone's attention. He spluttered and I continued. "You'd joke about doing experiments on someone just because their different? That's messed up. I think Dr.Mengele would be proud of you."

Chloe paled and he tried defending himself. "It was just meant as a joke. Aliens aren't real."

I nodded. "I'm sure that's what the British thought of the blacks before they found and pillaged Africa for slaves as well. Next you'll say they aren't people and shouldn't have rights. My point, is that you shouldn't joke about experimentation on any sentient creatures. It's crude and very messed up and until you can prove aliens aren't real, maybe you should keep those thoughts to yourself."

Chloe bit out. "But aliens aren't real."

I chuckled. "How could you possibly know that? Humanity is barely able to get out of our own gravity well. There are billions of galaxies out there and millions of worlds at the very least that must be able to sustain sentient life like humans. That's not including those races that don't need our specific environmental qualities. To assume there isn't life out there is the night of stupidity and small thinking."

Chloe's dad sighed. "You're probably right. What I said was not intended to be offensive and if I meet an alien, I'll apologize sincerely for my words."

I nodded slowly. "So long as you're aware words no matter how innocent can lead to deviating consequences. Imagine if you'd joked about experimenting on the Jews like Mengele did, it could have lost you more than an argument."

He nodded slowly before getting on with the tour. Chloe pulled me aside when everyone was passed us and asked. "What was that about?"

I sighed. "I made my case as to why even small minded bigotry is bad and he agreed. I'm sorry if you're offended Chloe, but imagine if one day we do meet an alien. You can imagine my not wanting your fathers words to be their first impression of us."

She pointed out. "You didn't have to tear him apart like that in front of everyone though."

I shook my head. "I did. When he made his words so casual like that, it meant he thought nothing of them. By challenging his words publicly like that, he'll think twice before saying something like that again so casually."

Chloe was angry now. "But he's my dad! And you compared him to an Nazi angel of death! He could lose his job if this gets out!"

I smiled. "I did and he is and I'm hoping he does."

She went to hit me and I caught her hand. "Relax, I want him out of this place because I want him free to accept a higher position in my company. If he accepts, he'll not be working for the Luthors and he'll have a higher paying job with less hours he has to work."

She calmed down and I continued. "I don't want to be seen poaching Luthorcorp employees or they'll try and turn him into a corporate mole and I can't let those in my company. This way it gives them a legitimate reason to fire him and once he's clear, I can higher him. I don't screw my friends Chloe. I've thought it through and we can both agree being in Lionel Luther's pocket is a bad place to be. I'm just trying to help him without being seen doing so."

She sighed. "Don't do something like that to my dad again without telling me first."

I nodded. "When you both get home tonight, fill him in on the details and tell him while I meant my words on aliens, I didn't mean to compare him so closely to a Nazi. I just needed a quick and decisive verbal victory. He's welcomed to a hundred grand signing bonus if he chooses to join after he's fired from here. Tell him if this incident wasn't enough, then he'll have to do the rest himself."

When Mr.Shakes arrived and started holding us hostage, I slipped away and broke the wall to the elevator to level three. I cleared it only enough to get through as it could still be seen. I slipped back in with the group and meditated while things outside were taking a turn for the worst for Luthercorp.

When Lionel declares there was no level three, Jarvis came forward in front of the reporters saying. "Actually, I have proof your lying to cover your own ass Lionel. These blueprints are the originals made before you had them doctored and fed to public record. It clearly shows a near football field size level three with an elevator going down to it."

Lionel tried to deny it, but he continued pulling out documents. "These here were volunteered by your own employees showing you authorized the testing of a fertilizer on corn crops made from meteorites found here in Smallville. You know, the ones that were found to be radioactive. They must've made your fertilizer unstable as I have an explosion and accident report you bribed the EPA agent to forget about, right here. Everything including the blueprints has your signature on them. I'm offering my lawyers to the people of this town that you put at risk and the poor sick man in there that you tried to make seem crazy. I hope your lawyers are in for a hell of a fight, because mine have been waiting to kick your environmental hazard out of this town since I brought the young master of my family here to live."

He sneered then went to make several calls. I'm sure it's to find out how fucked he is because as it has Lionels legitimate signature all over the documents and they were handed in by the employees to the police before being presented here, he was caught red handed and they could be used against him in a court of law.

Right now my lawyers were actually making a list of demands, starting with them closing and destroying the plant. It was environmentally bad with all that green Kryptonite running through it's pipes.

Lex talked the guy down by coming inside and showing him level three. I took the opportunity to take the worst of it out of his body before leaving with the rest of the students. When Mr.Jenkins gave himself up, my lawyers fought his murder charges as the cameras showed it was an accident brought on by his condition that he had no control of.

He was let off on the condition that he survives the massive seizures. I had my bot doctors look him over and perform emergency surgery to remove all meteorite particles. Luthercorp was massively sued for one point two billion. Most of it went to the people while the rest went to the environmental cleanup as the factory was temporarily shut down.

A week after the shut down, Lionel was forced to tear it down and rebuild it. I managed to hire Chloe's dad as a manager of Heretic industries headquarters in Metropolis.

He got an office with a view and a massive pay raise while only working four days a week with salary. His only job was to ensure containment of any lab accidents and report them to Jarvis and the city in case of emergencies. I found no reason he'd be bought by Luthercorp in his mind so he was hired on the spot.

By now most of the bots had been replaced in all the headquarters with staff that were loyal to the company. They especially had no reason to steal or turn traitor for other companies with their current pay and benefits.

With the company being run smoothly, I turned my attention to other projects. I took a trip to Metropolis the night of the gallery opening at the museum and watched Clark stop the bus. I convinced the the cop with an illusion that it was Lionel Luther that stopped it.

He went after Lionel to blackmail him and was never heard from again. A few weeks later the invisible boy ruining was going down. I stayed out of it except to have my people sneak in and take all the roses that produced the chemical that allows for invisibility.

After the kids were locked up, everything went back to normal, or as close to it as it was before. When Rickman industries came to buy up the Kent farm, I watched from the side lines until Clark came to me asking for help with the contract.

I told him it would be dissolved in a few days when my lawyers got ahold of it. It truly was iron clad, but I spent millions to retain those same lawyers that took on Luthercorp and won. They were eager to please when I gave them the contract to look over. I poised my company to tear apart Rickman industries while they got to work.

When Rickman's death was announced in the papers, my people acted and bought up Rickman industries before tearing it down and having it disbanded. The contracts it was under were picked up by my company and they cleaned up the environment where Rickman's company destroyed it.

I spent a few hundred million on clean up and offered free medical treatments to those effected. My company provided clean solutions to the contract providers as well. I managed to higher Kyle Tippet who received the same powers as Rickman. He became the CEO of my environmental cleanup sub company.

He found it peaceful and rather easy to convince congressmen to let our people go in and save the environments around the world. My company's next big reveal was an unlimited clean energy power cell.

There was a big push back from the US as they wanted to keep it for themselves, but my company held many contracts with governments around the world and we sold cheap on it. There was no way for them to stop it from being sold all over the world.

The whole world had an equal voice now as my company had laid the foundation for every country to rise to the superpower's standards. Starvation and homelessness was cut down to almost non-existence. Schools were built all over the world and education was no longer a privilege, it was a mandatory right.

Back at Smallville high school I was currently on a school field trip to find and learn about geology up close. It was a scavenger hunt. Bonnie and I were partnered together and Ayana and Eric were partnered together.

When we were almost done, I mad a cracked meteor rock fall next to Eric to move events along. He took it and kept it with him. Ironically even Lana had stopped wearing her meteorite necklace around, yet this kid picked it up and pocketed it like it was nothing with no compulsion on my part.

When we headed back to the bus, Eric had slipped away and everything went like usual. After the lightning strike, I noted Clark's body was drained of solar energy. He was still able to take In more, but it was to slow a process after the strike. This all brought me to the conclusion that Eric's body would eventually fail him as it couldn't stand the power for extended periods of time.

We watched on as everything went down and when Eric went to go after the jock again after he threw Clark I walked in front of him. "Think this through. You're abusing these abilities for personal gain. This won't end well if you continue. Look around you."

I waved a hand to the scared crowed. "You're setting a bad example and terrorizing people. This isn't the way to get what you want."

He back handed me and I joined Clark on a nearby car roof. I let the blow do damage to my body by putting power into the damaged area and I passed out just as he fled. Bonnie and Ayana would watch over everything and see to it everything was taken care of.

I woke up in the hospital getting my ribs wrapped and my head checked out. After a scan with the bed scanner, I was deemed ok to leave with some painkillers. The police asked if I wanted to file an assault charge and I turned them down saying. "He's just confused and on a power trip from a bad reaction to a meteor rock. Once it's out of his system, he should be fine. I'll have my lawyers take his case. He doesn't deserve to be punished when he's unwillingly under the influence of radio active rock my people failed to spot."

Jarvis was right next to the bed when I said that. He spoke. "I'll see to it he's taken care of and released once he's clean of it's effects."

I smiled and winced. "Thanks Jarvis."

Clark must have heard my words because he declined to press charges as well. The lead officer spoke. "He's still on the hook for massive property damage and the kid he hit as well."

I sighed. "The property damage is an easy fix, I'll have my lawyers draw up the papers so I can replace and fix it all. As for the kid he hit, I'll see if my lawyers can talk him down from pressing charges and just pay for any pain and suffering. I blame my people and I wouldn't fight a reasonable case if Eric sues me after this. I won't let his life be ruined by a stupid rock."

The next day after Eric was finally brought in, my lawyers cleared the charges and paid off the jock's family and property damage. I had my personal doctors see to his health when in reality I healed the damage to his body and mind. After a clean bill of health, his dad tried to sue me for billions. Eric himself was just grateful to be alive and wanted no part in the lawsuit.

My lawyers fought the case and settled immediately on a million. I ignored the lawsuit mostly as my company was in a hostile take over of Hardwick Enterprises before LuthorCorp could take part. The next day Lex showed up at my place clearly agitated.

When he got out of his car, he demanded. "How did you know?"

I shook my head. "Not a clue what you're talking about."

He demanded agin. "How did you know I was taking down the Hardwick's?"

I chuckled. "You flaunt around town with her and expect me to believe you're not at each other's throats? Please, we both know I'm not that stupid. I hadn't a clue who would win in your little battle, that's why I was poised to take out both companies if necessary. Or should I say, Jarvis was anyway, as I can't legally lead my company yet."

He snorted. "Don't give me that to young crap, my father and I've known for a while now that you've been playing puppeteer with your little butler."

I smiled. "Why are you really mad Lex? The fact that I beat you to it? Or the fact that it wasn't your father that was taken down?"

He seemed to calm down then. "You know, if you want to take down my father-"

I held up a hand. "Save it. I'm not about to sleep with or fall for your ploys. I'm not Victoria after all. Speaking of which..."

I grabbed a file on the table and handed it to him. "Apparently you're not the only Luthor that she was satisfying to try for a take over. By the way, smart move on screwing her like that, she'd have turned you over to Lionel when she was done even if you managed to take over your father's companies together."

He opened it up and saw pictures of her and Lionel together in a romantic embrace. I grabbed my tool belt saying. "Now if you're done being judgy, either help me fix the fence or go away."

I went to repair the fence and he left not long after that. A couple weeks later Lex was robbed by a some bandits that could walk through walls. When I heard Chloe was in the hospital, I payed her a visit and sat with her.

I listened to her talk about the bad food and curfew imposed by the staff. When she was done ranting, I told her I had a meeting with Lana and Lex at the Talon. I arrived just as Lex did. He saw me and asked. "Was this your idea?"

I shook my head. "We're both competing over the property, I have no reason to set up a meeting here. If I wanted it bad enough, I would just double the price instead of coming to see you."

Lana met us at the door. "I'm the one that asked you both here. I wanted to speak to you on keeping the Talon as it was."

I listened to her proposal with Lex and when he finished telling her it's not good enough, I agreed. "Lex is right on this. You're coming to businessmen with wants and needs. While I'm not apposed to buying things on a whim and all that, I'm not going to buy this place just to add it to your memory album. If you want me to find a renovation and revival, come to me with a business proposal, if you do the work and it looks like it'll be profitable, then I'll take it into consideration."

I left right after Lex while sighing before turning around and saying. "If that wasn't clear enough, that was a challenge. Show me I'm not getting into business with a girl, but a high-powered business woman."

I left her to it and went to my house before teleporting to my company to check the stock on meteorites. I found none missing so I made a few calls and a quick scan and found the ink being made was made from meteor rocks on LuthorCorp land.

After doing a quick scan of the company's employees to be sure none have turned traitor, I left to head home. Three days later Lana called for another meeting with Lex and myself. She gave us folders of her project and told us the benefits of reviving the Talon as a coffee and book shop.

When she was done, Lex asked her a few business questions and she answered finally with. "This only works if one of you buys it outright."

I turned to Lex and grinned. "How bad do you want it?"

He shook his head. "I have a different idea in mind. I propose we both buy it and her family runs it. Think of it as paying me back for Hardwick Enterprises."

My face turned sour for a minute before sighing. "Alright. But I'd like to add the clause that if either of us backs out or otherwise uses this business to cause problems for the other, Lana here gets it all without paying a dime. Taxes will be taken from the screw up for the next ten years as compensation for turning on the others as well."

He frowned then nodded. "I'll have my lawyers draw up the paperwork."

I chuckled and tossed out a folder from my briefcase. "Already done by my lawyers. Have yours look it over and know it's iron clad, screw me on this Lex and I'll do a lot worse than snipe a company you wanted from you."

He grabbed it and I turned to Lana and handed her a copy of the paperwork. "Have a lawyer you trust go over it. When he or she does, tell them to bill me for the trouble. Congratulations Lana, you've just convinced two very powerful people to sit down and behave, for however long that last. The only person to have ever pulled it off before was Lex's mother, and that was before we came to power."

Lex nodded slowly. "Except this time hopefully it'll last."

I sighed. "Like last time, it'll depend on you and your schemes. Like I said Lex, don't screw me on this. Lillian isn't here to break us apart and you know I've very little patience for lies or word games."

I left them to talk while heading out. A week later we signed them and toasted to our business relationship. I volunteered my company's construction crew to remodel and fix everything at no cost to them.

I made twenty bots and they got to work over the next two weeks. They replaced all the plumbing and rewired the whole building before remodeling it to fit Lana's ideal view of it. Over that time, a repair man tried offering his services but my bots shut him down quick saying they were under company contract and anything he did would be marked against them.

At the same time, I had Jarvis bring in five hundred heads of cattle for our land. A few days later they were all killed off by drinking water that ran off from the Kent's farm. I came over pissed off and found them going over their own dead cattle.

When I saw Lex come over, I grabbed him by the shirt and slammed him into the hood of my car. "If I find out this is your fault Lex, you're going to have the worst month of your life! I just lost five hundred and twenty heads of cattle and Jarvis is calling me weak because of whatever game this is."

The cops came over to separate us but I let him up and told them to piss off. They were about to try cuffing me when Jarvis came over. "I wouldn't do that if you value your jobs or lives. He's special forces trained and doesn't like to be touched. And if you survive, I'll be here to ensure you're fired from any and all work for the rest of your lives."

Lex held up his hands to the cops. "It's fine, it's just a misunderstanding. I'm not responsible for this and I sure as hell am not stupid enough to pick that fight. I'll get to the bottom of this I swear. Pay for-"

I snorted. "Keep your hand outs, I neither want nor need them."

I turned to Jarvis. "Have our people clean this shit up and buy a new herd for myself and the Kent's. It's the least I can do for causing a scene here. Buy the best, as usual and the next time you call me weak, be damned sure you can back it up."

I turned to the Kent's. "I'm sorry for this, I wasn't exactly thrilled to hear my heard was killed, and I was coming over here to get an explanation for it. Take the new herd as an apology for thinking you did it on purpose. As for the cleanup, my company will do it. This isn't the first Luthor mess we've had to go in and clean up. It should be done by next week."

I glared at Jarvis before heading home in my truck. I made a few calls and had the EPA take my cattle in and get rid of them before heading to my room for a nap to get rid of the mounting headache I was getting for some odd reason.

While I slept, I scanned my body for the problem and found that my curse and soul had strengthened with my body, but my domain itself was weakening. It seems the stronger I grow, the less my domain can contain my power. I felt a small urging sensation letting me know I needed to expand. Since I didn't plan on growing any stronger anytime soon, it should be fine for now.

When I awoke, I headed to the Kent farm with Jarvis. He carried a briefcase with him that contained my next business proposal. We passed the Heretic industries cleanup crews that were cleaning the ground with special pump devices that turned all the poisonous sludge into fertilizer.

When I arrived, Clark was gone, so I knocked on the door and Martha answered it. When she asked. "What can I do for you?"

I smiled. "A lot actually. I'm hoping I can speak with you and your husband Mrs.Kent."

She let us in and showed us to the living room. I sat down and Jarvis waited behind me while she went to fetch Johnathan. When he came in, he asked. "So what's this about?"

I smiled. "Jarvis here has brought something up and I'd like to have all my bases covered so here it is."

Jarvis handed them a contract and they looked it over while I explained. "I'm here in Smallville because Jarvis, as my legal guardian, wished to punish me-"

Jarvis chuckled. "What young master Alex means is I wished to instill him with the understanding of a hard days work and better work ethics than what he could learn being coddled by nannies and maids. I started his training for languages and martial discipline when he was old enough to walk. His considered a prodigy in nearly everything he does and has mastered everything I've thrown at him, except a decent work ethic. I feared he'd turn out like Lex, so I brought him here after his parents accident at sea. Since then I've had him working the farm and increasing his work load steadily and occasionally in great quantities. All in an effort to make him understand that at the end of the day, he's only one man."

I snorted. "Anyway, the problem lies with my eventual college days when I graduate high school. After my torture is complete, Jarvis pointed out that I'd have to do something with the cuddle and land. So I came up with a proposal."

I waved a hand at the contract. "You connect our pastures and lands, when I'm to busy to work the land, you and Clark work it. And we combine herds. When I leave for college, you and your family get the land and herds to yourself, I'll keep the house and an acre around it, but everything else is yours. I know it'll be costly and take up more of your time to help with that many cattle, so I'm willing to pay five grand a week as compensation. Listen, to be honest with you, this punishment has an expiration date of three more years, then I'm out of here either way. I just don't want to have to sell off or put down a herd of cattle after I've seen so many die today. The offer is open until I graduate and feel free to have your lawyers go over that. I'm not a Luthor, but I am a corporate giant, like they are. It's a serious offer and I'd like you to take it seriously."

I said my goodbyes to the now stunned Kent's before heading home to Bonnie and Ayana in my bedroom with chains. A week later I visited my labs as I was told Dr.Hamilton was doing unauthorized experiments. When I saw the flowers, I asked him. "Has anyone been exposed?"

He shook his head and tried to tell me the benefits. I turned to the security. "Burn the plants in a furnace and see to it all his research is confiscated. As of right now Dr.Hamilton is no longer an employee here. He's to be given fifty grand as severance and sent on his way. Check him thoroughly for any hidden flash drives."

He begged and I shook my head. "You broke contract and you should be Damn glad it's me and not a Luthor you're dealing with. Instead of a severance pay, you'd simply disappear."

I read his mind and turned to the security waiting on my words. "Escort him out and search him. Send people to search his home in case he took his research home with him. If you find anything, feel free to destroy it. Check for seeds to these plants as well and wear hazmat suits when you go in and take care of the plants. They're toxic."

They escorted the struggling doctor out. All his research was locked away and all hard copies were burned. I was trying to prevent unwanted meta-humans, not create them. I spent the next couple days getting to interview Ayana on her fake past. Bonnie interviewed me and Ayana interviewed Bonnie.

Needless to say we spent the entire time enjoying each other before typing our pasts up. Johnathan stopped by with the signed papers Friday saying. "I've had my lawyer look it over and he says it screws you out of a lot of money if I decide to take it then back out as I get everything regardless."

I nodded. "I'm aware. I also would like to see what kind of man you are. I get that you see me as a kid like Clark, but I can assure you, I'm not. I lost my innocent ways a long time ago. This is simply a trust exercise for you and a judgment exercise for me. If I'm wrong about you, I loose some money and land, but if I'm right, and you're the type of man I think you are, then I may have found someone worth trusting after all."

He signed the last paper and handed it to me to sign. After I did so, I handed it back to him saying. "Once it's notarized, I guess I'll find out."

We left together to get it stamped by a licensed notary. Once it was done, I turned to look him in the eyes. "So what'll it be?"

He slapped my arm. "Let's go get the fences fixed, the herd is supposed to arrive Monday. I expect a check at the end of every week for five grand."

I chuckled. "Easy enough. Though I doubt Clark is going to like the extra work every now and then, most of the time I'll be taking care of them as my own chores."

The cleanup was done already so it was rather simple to fix the fence line between our properties. We spent half the day pulling up posts and filling in holes so the cattle don't break their legs. The whole time I was turning the ground more and more fertile. Soon enough the dirt itself was coal black.

When Johnathan saw the land on my side of the fence, as it were, was so fertile he couldn't stop smiling. "Planting seasons coming up and it looks like we'll be using this land for it."

I nodded. "I use non pesticide organic fertilizer and mix it with the cow droppings to create what you see here. It grows the crops a hell of a lot fresher and bigger than anywhere else I've seen. The fertilizer is something my company came across while searching for a way to enhance soil nutrients in third world countries as possible solutions to starvation. I'll have some shipped to your house if you like it. It's mostly an organic citrus blend of rotted fruits and a blend of ground coffee beans."

He nodded. "Sounds good enough, especially if it makes the soul this rich

I snorted. "It's a pain in the rear is what it is. Jarvis insisted I do it all by hand the first few times to get an appreciation for 'hard work'. It smells god awful and gets everywhere when you do it that way. I swear he just wanted to see me covered in it."

Johnathan laughed. "On the bright side, we'll be using tractors this time."

I nodded. "I bought a brand new John Deere 9520R the first chance I was allowed. Feel free to use it when you need it. It's yours in the end anyway. My advice, get Clark to do the mixing process as it's gotta be done by hand and it's rough to have that smell in your face. Even fresh cow manure smells a heck of a lot better than the finished product. But by all means, feel free to get a smell when he does it to be sure."

Johnathan nodded and we finished up the fencing before Clark arrived. He asked if we needed help and I pointed to the large boulder. "We can save that for tomorrow, we have a few days anyway. Why don't you help your dad carry the posts In and I'll grab the planks. He wants to save them for any repairs to the outside fencing."

I grabbed around twenty and headed to the Kent barn to store them. I took my time and I ignored Clark speeding around doing all the work. When I stored the planks, I noticed all of the others there as well. I scratched my head and went back to the fence line.

Johnathan was standing there next to Clark. "We took care of the rest, I hope you don't mind. You were looking a bit tired there."

I nodded. "Thanks, I think I'm gonna go grab a shower. Feel free to check the property and make any changes you see fit. After my shower I'm gonna make the call to have the fertilizer sent over to your house. I suggest you start blowing the fields, I'll join you when I get done in town. I have to sign off on the workers that were fixing up the Talon. They called earlier to say they've finished."

Johnathan nodded. "Take your time, there's two tractors and two of us. We can work it without you for a bit."

I sighed. "Alright, I'll see you when I get back then."

I headed to my truck and drove to the house. I made the shipment call on the way there. When I finished up signing the papers at the Talon, the shipment had already arrived at the Kent's house. When I got there, Clark was holding his nose and backing away from it all.

I looked to the freshly plowed fields and shook my head in amazement before smacking Clark's shoulder. "Don't worry, the next part is far worse."

I turned and spoke to the delivery people. "Have it all dumped into the fields. Then have the manure dumped onto the pile."

I turned back to Clark. "Grabs some shovels Clark. We have to fold the manure in by hand. Tractors can't mix it well and unless you want to ruin a cement mixer, it's the only way."

He scowled and Johnathan laughed, tossing us shovels. "I'm beat. Let me know when you're done and I'll use the tractor to spread it across the fields."

We spent the rest of the day and most of the evening mixing literal tons of crap and rotten fruit extract together. When we finished finally, it was nearing ten at night. We started up both tractors and started spreading it. Johnathan was still inside while we worked as neither of us wanted to have him work any harder.

We finished around three A.M. and put the tractors away. I spent the entire time while spreading and mixing it all, making it even more fertile like mine. By the next morning, grass was already sprouting from it in places.

Two days later the cattle arrived. A thousand heads of Texas longhorn cows and two hundred heads of Holstein milk cows. They settled in nicely enough. I put a docile charm on them and let them graze while starting up my chores again.

After the first week of doing it all at human speeds, Clark himself came to watch me to make sure I wasn't like him. He left again after nearly a day watching me. I didn't mind as I found it relaxing and peaceful to do the work like a human.

After the second week and the second check, Johnathan came to speak with me while I was working. I was loading bales of hay at the time when he said. "I gotta ask, is it always going to be like this? I'm starting to feel useless here and just taking your money feels wrong."

I chuckled. "I never said you had to stop or don't help if you're that bored, you don't have to either if you don't want to. Just so long as there's work for me to do, I don't think Jarvis will mind. Though he may buy more land and cattle if it becomes to easy for me. Don't worry, the contract says all farmland will go to you either way in the end. Though if he does, you may need that money to hire your own extra hands for when I go to college."

He grabbed some gloves and began tossing bales as well. We spent most of the afternoon in silent work. Eventually he spoke. "So why Smallville of all places?"

I shrugged. "I haven't a clue. Jarvis tossed a coin and it was either here, or Texas. Coin landed on heads and here we are."

We were currently loading up wood to fix a piece of the fencing that one of the cows backed into. Later that evening we were drinking some lemonade on the porch when Martha and Clark showed up with a kid. I schooled my thoughts and let the kid pick them up.

I mostly thought about school stuff and Bonnie with Ayana. I caught the kid blushing when a fleeting image of them both naked came across my thoughts. I changed it to my thoughts and feelings of love for them and offered the kid a hand to shake while thinking he looked familiar.

I thought of his mom as mine with a picture much the same of her holding me as a baby and the adoption to my rich parents she was forced to do. I backed away after he let my hand go and he went wide eyed. I ignored that and said my goodbyes to the Kent's before heading home.

I knew I was manipulating the kid, but I truly want a better life for him than just disappearing into obscurity. I figured he'd make a great person I could leave the company and all it's valuables to.

Over the next couple of days I noticed him watching me work the fields occasionally. I heard Clark rescued him from a dumpster or truck, they weren't very clear on the details. Anyway, after the kid's stepmother showed up at the door of the Kent's house and threatened him, I knocked her out from behind.

Martha came out and I told her. "Call the sheriff. She just threatened him and tried to force him to agree to go with her. I highly doubt she's a social worker."

She went to get the phone and I told Ryan. "Once this is taken care of, I'd like to show you something."

I was thinking of the picture and he nodded slowly. Before saying. "You're my biological brother."

I snorted. "How the heck would you know that?"

He sighed. "Because I can read minds and every time you look at me you're thinking of a picture of my mom and you as a baby."

I backed away and my 'thoughts' went into disarray. I shook my head. "Could just be a coincidence or a lucky guess."

Clark came out. "He's not lying."

I scowled then sighed and rubbed my temples while thinking it could just be our moms looked alike or that the picture was just one of many adopted moms I may have had. I left the thoughts off thinking she may have just been a wet nurse that picked me up once and got a picture taken.

Ryan shook his head. "You're my brother, I can tell. My mom looked at me just the same as she did you."

My scowl deepened. "Then why'd she give me up?"

He went silent and I scowled. "What, no answers for that? Good luck kid. I hope your next family is better than the one I got."

I left him sitting there while heading to the sheriffs sheriff's car to give him my statement. He took the woman away twenty minutes later and Lex showed up not long after the sheriff left.

Ryan came over to me while I was walking over to Lex. "The driver is with the woman. They're my current step parents. They used me to help them rob people. I ran away when I saw them kill a defenseless old man. He wants to use me to rob Lex."

I turned to face him. "You'd better not be lying to me."

He looked sincere. "I'm not."

I nodded. "Go inside and tell Martha to call the sheriff again for another pick up. I'll handle this."

He ran off just as I walked into the sight line of the car. The driver stopped it and got out before opening the door for Lex. I walked up behind the driver and put him in a choke hold. He passed out after a small struggle. I tied some rope around his hands while Lex asked. "What the hell is going on?"

I chuckled. "Your driver is a professional robber and a killer. Odds are you were his next target. Congratulations, I just saved your life."

He snorted. "Do you have any proof of these accusations?"

I nodded. "I've got a witness to this man shooting an unarmed old man and robbing him. As for who it is, you'll just have to trust me till the sheriff gets here."

It was a rather long night that only got longer when I showed Ryan an old picture of his mom and me as a baby. Ryan eventually asked. "Can I stay with you?"

Martha shook her head. "Alex is only sixteen. You need someone that's old enough to take care of you. The state wouldn't allow it."

I nodded. "She's right. Besides, I don't have a spare room available and I'm way to busy to look after a kid."

Johnathan spoke up. "But we're not."

I turned to look at him at the same time as Ryan. "Are you sure?"

He looked to Clark and Martha before nodding. "I spend most of my days bored out of my mind now that we've combined fields and herds. Besides, you two just met. I can't let you separate before you've gotten to know each other."

I sighed. "I'll have my lawyers draw up the paperwork and I'll triple the checks I pay you each week. It's the least I can do."

He tried to argue and I pointed out. "I've seen Clark eat. Besides, it will give you spending money to spend on Ryan as well. "

They finally agreed and I made the calls. The next morning Jarvis came back with the paperwork for the Kent's to sign while I was at school. By the time I got home, the paperwork was finalized. Sometimes money is useful for personal problems.

I let the reaper kid play out while I went about my life. Occasionally Ryan would help out with small things while I did the chores. He'd do so while making light conversation and asking pointed questions. Eventually I started imagining meditating while I worked.

It seemed to relieve stress when he talked to me. I let mantra's fill my thoughts and eventually he stopped asking things. I volunteered the occasional thing from mine and my girls lives. He asked about them and one day I even introduced them.

When I did, I caught a glimpse of his mind seeing my thoughts of them naked. I tapped his forehead saying. "Keep imagining them naked and I'll send you back into the system, brother or not."

That snapped him out of it and Bonnie grabbed my arm saying. "He's only kidding. He wouldn't do that without getting put in the doghouse. And that's not where he wants to be. Though, you should stop thinking of us like that. It's rude."

Ryan blushed and Ayana chuckled. "Come on kid. We'll let you pick out what restaurant we order from."

They left me standing in the doorway while dragging him to the living room. The night Whitney went to play for the Metropolis sharks while his dad watched, I showed up and walked over to his father.

I handed him a packet of paper. "I have a gift for you. It's experimental and risky, but it's also your only real chance. Heretic industries is experimenting with cellular repairing technology. If you agree to be it's first off the record trial member, we can possibly heal you and give you the heart strength of a twenty year old. If you sign it and the trail fails, Heretic industries is willing to compensate your family ten million dollars because failure will result in immediate death. The only reason I'm offering this now is because it won't be out or even onto official trials until after you're long dead."

I turned to Whitney. "Consider this my apology for my part in assigning blame to those that did the scarecrow crap."

They asked a few questions and I sighed. "It's a fifty fifty shot. If it works, he'll have many more years to live. If it fails it'll kill him immediately. If you weren't so desperate and in an immediate need, I'd have suggested you waited. As it is, it's the best shot he has. If you want the treatment, sign it and come to Heretic industries tomorrow morning."

I left them there and headed to my truck. Johnathan Kent stopped me on my way out. "Will it work?"

I sighed. "Honestly, I haven't a clue. It'll be the first live trial not on mice. Most of them lived, though the ones that had cancer died immediately and in squealing agony. The device seems to promote all cell growth and regeneration. It basically sped up the cancer to stage ten immediately."

He asked. "And does it have anything to do with the meteor rocks?"

I shook my head. "Not even a little bit. So far it's the culmination of years of research meant to extend the human life expectancy. My company is trying to cure the world of sickness in the efforts to find a cure for the worst of them like cancer, AIDS and severe radiation poisoning. This is hopefully a significant step."

The next morning Whitney and his parents showed up at the head office of Heretic industries with the signed documents. The doctors led them to a secure testing floor and helped George into a medical bed. They scanned him for any cancer just to be on the safe side and when he came up clean, they activated the 3-D imagining sacanner and warned them one last time about the procedure.

They said their last goodbyes just in case and I pulled them back away from the bed when they were done. I told them while we watched. "Whatever reaction he has to it, do not interfere unless you want him to die. The process can't be interrupted without causing massive damage and nearly instantaneous death."

We watched as the doctor took a metal wand that was the equivalent of the hand held healing device from my last reality and began. It was rather quick, all in all. George jerked and thrashed a few times and I had to hold Whitney back, but when the doctor stopped, the scans came up perfect.

I let the mother and son go and they rushed over to the bed as the doctor announced. "Perfect recovery. His heart is now that of the average twenty-two year old. Once he wakes up again, let him know he can leave after a couple tests for any side effects."

They thanked the doctor and started crying in relief. I walked over and sat down before handing them a suitcase. Whitney took it and asked. "What is this?"

I chuckled. "Your father just proved my tech works by risking his life on a fifty-fifty shot of getting better. Every willing participant in my company's trials is paid for their risk. You should've read the fine print. This is half a million for providing us with valuable research data."

I sighed and continued. "Your father should be considered a hero, because now that it's been tested, we know where the kinks are and can work them out. In three years time, all but the worst conditions can be treated immediately because of this data. Your father just saved potentially billions of lives. Hell, I'd pay him more, but I'm not selling the technology when it's completed. It'll be given to the world for free."

They were stunned. They opened the case to look at the money before thanking me. I waved it off. "Next time you're given a contract, read the fine print."

I left them to head home. Now that I have proof the healing technology works here, I thought of something far more significant. Bonnie and Ayana met me at my house and asked me. "Are you sure you want to try this?"

I nodded. "If it works, it could potentially make us physically stronger than ever before."

We teleported to a remote mountain range in Colorado and I yelled at the sky. "3x2(9YZ)4A=?."

The sky opened up and lightning struck me. It felt more painful than almost anything I'd ever experienced. I felt a new realm of power open up to my body and mind. I was now linked to the speed force more so than almost anyone had ever been. As a god, I could feel it just like any other domain I was connected to.

I could see through it to other realities where speed force user were and if I was within a certain range of one, I'd be able to feel it in them. My gaze turned to this world and the speed force user already on it. I could see him running around and stealing things.

I pulled back to my body and took of my burnt clothes before saying. "It worked. Go ahead, one at a time to be safe."

Ayana did it first then a few minutes later Bonnie followed. When they were done, we changed clothes and went home. It was a rush at first and there weren't any downsides because we were gods. Our bodies didn't need fuel to keep up with the high metabolism as it was fueled by the energy of the stars and our domains.

I didn't pay much attention to the class president elections other than to help Chloe write articles on each candidate and their platforms. What I did pay attention to was the Talon's lack of customers. I made a few calls and the local beanery was shut down for health code violations two days later.

Most of my time was spent doing farm work and work for the torch now a-days.
