Ch.3

By the time Lionel's scientists found the dagger's container and asked the professor/chief and his assistant to look at it, Bonnie and Ayana had already taken over most of the work at the Talon.

I watched from the sidelines as Clark fought Jeremiah Holdsclaw repeatedly. When Clark was about to be stabbed, I super spartan kicked Jeremiah through the wall of the barn. I told Clark. "Stop messing around. The blade is damaging his body worse than what Jor-El did to your father. As soon as he lets go of it, he'll be lucky if it doesn't kill him. If he keeps it, odds are he'll kill a lot of people."

Clark asked. "Why haven't you helped before now?"

I snorted. "Because I'm not Naman. That's your path not mine."

He went to argue but I stopped him saying. "You fight to protect everyone from harm. A true symbol of peace. I fight to protect those I care about, I'm a selfish bastard that way. I'd rather watch a stranger die than let someone I care about get hurt even a little. That is what make you the savior from the stars, not some dumb ass prophesy Clark. That's what makes you better than me and everyone else. Cherish it, because the moment you give up, this world will be doomed."

He shut up at my words and I sighed. "Go rest, I'll repair the barn. He's long gone by now. Know that I won't be helping to fight your battles Clark. Your destiny is your own to walk, and neither I nor Jor-El can decide it for you. You must ultimately choose the path you walk. I am merely a guide post in the road to be seen when needed."

I blurred and tore the shattered wood off the side of the barn and repaired it in under five minutes, including painting the new wood. When I was done, I went to work in the fields. I watched from a distance as Clark and Jeremiah fought again over the dagger to save Lionel's life.

When Jeremiah and Clark collided, the dagger was sent flying and landed in between Lionel and Lex, who freed him from the ropes binding him. They both touched the dagger at the same time and it crumbled into dust. I left as Clark blurred away as well. When Jeremiah was sent to the hospital, I had him transferred to the secure medical wing of Heretic industries.

I went to check on Ryan who seemed to be doing great in classes and even had a little crush on a girl. I spoke to him in different languages until I stopped on one he couldn't speak in yet then spent the rest of the day letting him learn from my thoughts.

A week later Martha went into labor and had a baby boy they named Sam after Johnathan's father Samuel. I presented them with a baby gift of having my bots do a remodeling and making them a larger house while Martha was in the hospital with the baby.

In the course of three days, their small three bedroom house went to being a ten bedroom twelve bath mini mansion. When they came home with the baby, I handed them the new keys to the place saying. "I had it rebuilt to accommodate a bigger family now that yours is growing. If you don't like any part of it, you can say the word and the builder bots will change whatever you want."

Johnathan spoke. "You really didn't have to-"

I stopped home saying. "It's only my gift, besides, you both have offices if you need to work on something and there's a den for your man cave now. Like I said, if you don't like anything, the bots can change it."

Bonnie appeared beside me saying. "The house has everything a baby needs including diapers and a room set aside for a nursery you can work together to build. We thought you'd want to do that part as a family. That's my gift."

Ayana blurred and appeared on my other side. "I've set aside three college funds for Clark, Ryan and Sam under their names but in your control just in case of another red K incident. That's my gift."

Clark smiled. "So this is a big deal for you guys isn't it?"

I chuckled. "Before you, there wasn't a Kryptonian born naturally on Krypton in thousands of years Clark. We, like them, were born from artificial womb pods with both parents DNA set in. You're the first of a new generation Clark, and to see your family grow is a blessing to us all."

Johnathan pointed out. "The baby isn't Kryptonian though."

I chuckled. "But he's still Clark's family, and that's all that matters to us. We're happy that he's happy."

We blurred together and left them together to explore their new house. A day later all the bots returned and dissolved into the ground becoming fertilizer for the plants in the garden.

We received a thanks from the Kent's the same day as they invited us to their new house for a meal. After we enjoyed the meal, Clark asked. "How many times have you watched from afar to save me. I noticed when you saved me from taking the dagger my chest that you were there again during the second fight."

I sighed. "I've been there in case you've needed help at every occasion since I revealed myself, and when I wasn't, the girls were. We've also stopped a couple meteor infected from even coming close to you. We stay away from the strictly human things though, like Summerholt. I can't be seen doing anything there any more than you would want to. But every single one of the- lets call them meta-humans, every single one that you fought we've been watching to protect you from fatale blows. Now that you know though, we'll stop. If you know we're there, you'll become reckless and begin to rely on our saving you. That's no way to go on as one day we may not be there to help."

Clark nodded. "I get it, thanks though for being there before. But what's so wrong with you helping me?"

I chuckled. "Every hero has to learn to fight alone or he-"

Bonnie snorted. "Or she."

I smiled. "Or she, is doomed to fail. Consider this your origin story Clark. The beginning of a hero that could one day lead this world to a brighter future. You don't have to be of course. But that path will always be open to you for when you're ready."

Clark frowned. "I don't feel like a hero though. I just do what I think is right."

I chuckled. "And you've been instilled by a true moral compass from two of the best parents this world has to offer. Clark, your choices and actions define you. You saved a morally wicked man from an unjust death because of those same morals. That's something very few could do knowing what you do about Lionel. Hell, if it were me, I'd be tempted to end him myself if I thought he was a threat to my girls. I'd not flinch as I lit him on fire. You could never do such a thing and that's why I'll never be a hero while you, you have the makings of the best there is. Like I said, a true symbol of peace."

The conversation died after that. Johnathan and Martha looked proud of Clark who was speechless. I sighed and stood up. "Thank you for the meal Mr. and Mrs.Kent, but it's time I got to the field work."

I left while the girls stayed to chat about the house and it's new features. I stayed in the background as school let out for the year. Lana has set her travel date and Lex had given her a first class open ended ticket to Paris as a going away present.

A girl came by the Talon looking for Lana and Bonnie told her politely that she was just looking after the place until Lana decided to come back from Paris. When the girl tried and failed to shove her hand in Bonnie, Ayana bitch slapped her out the door.

She didn't come back after that. The week passed and when the girl was eventually caught, Lana postponed her trip for the following day. When I heard Lionel was arrested and Chloe was a witness, I sent the copies of the recordings to the FBI and Lex.

Chloe was still a key witness as her voice was on the recording asking the questions. When she testified that it was her voice, the judge made sure he didn't receive bail while he awaited his arraignment.

When Chloe's house blew up, I knew it was Lex and General Lane's plans to keep her alive. The same day a sniper tried to take me out but 'accidentally' fell from his perch and broke his neck. My truck blew up though so I was still annoyed. I heard Lex was poisoned as well.

With Pete and Lana gone and Chloe presumed dead while Clark was in the wall of the cave, and Johnathan in a coma, Martha turned to me for help.

When she came over begging me to do something, I told her. "You can relax, Clark will be back I'm sure of that. As for me getting him out, that's not physically possible right now. I suggest you focus on raising Sam and Ryan. Clark won't be in there more than a few months as even the AI can't keep a real Kryptonian in there for more than that. It'll spit him out when it's done whatever it plans to do to him. As for Johnathan, his life force has been linked to whatever Jor-El is doing to Clark, if I try anything to help, it may kill them both. You'll forgive me if I stay out of it. He will get better I'm sure, until then, his hospital bills are on me. Just take care of Sam, Ryan and visit Johnathan for now. I'm sorry Mrs.Kent, but that's all I know."

She cried and went home still disappointed. I worked the fields all summer while Bonnie and Ayana worked the coffee shop. They had big name bands like Linkin Park and Nickleback play there to pull in the crowds. I even went there when Bon Jovi came to town.

All summer people were coming from all over to check out the bands. This summer also happened to be the biggest pay off yet for the Kent's when they sold several semi-truck loads of fresh organic vegetables to the markets and even sent a few trucks to Metropolis.

The Kent's were up over eighty grand along with all the fully grown cattle they sold off to meat markets and butcher houses. Jarvis replaced the ones that were sold with younger ones after they were gone. All the time he was helping raise Sam to keep Martha healthy as well. I stopped by every day to make sure she rested and ate something.

One evening as summer was close to ending, a lightning storm came out of nowhere and I knew Clark was coming back. While I was doing chores the next day, I saw Clark and Martha speaking in the driveway.

When he shoved her, I caught her and growled at him. "Do that again and it won't matter if you're Kal-El or Clark, I'll take your ass to the woodshed a give you the beating of your life."

He snorted. "Ro-Em, you should be helping me on my quest."

I grinned. "I don't answer to anyone or anything, especially not an outdated AI. Piss off."

He frowned and did an impressive takeoff as he flew away. I helped Martha into the house before where Sam was crying. I calmed him down while Ryan made some tea for Martha. A little while later a woman showed up looking for Clark. I ignored her while Martha made up excuses.

I slipped outside and went back to work while they were talking. A little while later, the same girl came over to watch me fix the fences. I ignored her still until she spoke. "So what does a girl gotta do to get your attention?"

I raised an eyebrow and looked at her. "Be my girlfriends or family of my friends mostly. I'm sorry but you're neither as far as I'm aware."

She smiled. "That's a short list, I can see why I may not be on it. I'm Lois Lane, Chloe was my cousin."

I sighed. "Then you're on the list. Chloe was a friend of mine. I'm Alexander Mikaelson."

It was her turn to raise an eyebrow. "The richer than god teen that has two girlfriends and is set to inherit the worlds largest company?"

I chuckled. "The very same I guess. Not many people share my full name. Though I doubt I'm richer than god."

She snorted. "You're worth billions and that's before you inherit the company. Once you do, the sky's the limit."

I looked up. "The sky has no limits. It goes on for eternity into the abyss we call space littered with stars and planets just like this one."

She frowned at me. "You're a little weirder than I thought you'd be."

I chuckled looking at her. "Weird is only different and there's nothing wrong with being different, it's what makes us unique. It would be a boring world if everyone was the exact same."

She nodded. "I guess. So, think you could put those billions to helping me find out what happened to my cousin?"

I sighed. "I'll tell you what, you stick it out the rest of the day with me, and I'll tell you what really happened with your cousin."

She sighed now. "Fine, but I ain't mucking our stalls."

I chuckled and handed her a hammer. "Start by nailing the fence together while I hold it in place."

We got to work and several hours later we ended the day with hauling hay to the feeders. When we were done, I hopped onto the tailgate of my new truck and told her. "Take a seat, it's quite the story."

When she grabbed a seat I handed her a beer from the cooler and took one for myself. "So, your cousin was the key witness in Lionel Luthor's case. When she testified to ensure he couldn't get bail until his hearing, your father and Lex made a secret plan to plan her fake death."

I went on to tell her the details of the plan and when I finished she asked. "And how do you know all this? Clearly you weren't apart of the plan."

I chuckled. "The same day she was supposedly killed, Lex was poisoned and a sniper tried to take me out and died by falling from his hiding place. Right before I thought it was over, my old truck blew up."

I tapped my new truck. "Now Lionel would act once to try killing someone, but when my truck blew up, I wasn't anywhere near it. It seemed odd so I looked deeper into things and found the real plot. The sniper was sent by Lionel while the bomb on my truck was from Lex. His way of warning me to go into hiding. With that in mind, I turned my sights to him and Chloe. Lex survived barely and is severely sick right now. Chloe's was harder to find out till I had my own people go over it all the same day and they found a hidden tunnel that's under the house. That coupled with the bomb Lex used before, and I knew what happened."

She pointed out. "But why my father's involvement?"

I chuckled. "Both bombs were military grade explosives. The only one close to either Lex or Chloe that'd have that kind of set up is her uncle ie your father. I'd bet my entire fortune he's hiding her in a secure safe house while the wait is up on the trial. I'd suggest you not go looking for her or contact Lionel as he's libel to suspect she's still alive and try hurting you to draw her out."

She sighed. "What can he do from behind bars?"

I snorted. "Hire a sniper and poison Lex."

She nodded. "Good point, but it's just guess work with no proof."

I shrugged. "Do what you want, it was only a suggestion. I won't stop you either way."

She hopped off my tailgate and set her beer down. "Well, thanks for the information, but I think I'll do my own investigating."

I chuckled. "Suit yourself. Hop in, I'll give you a ride back to the Kent farm."

I downed my beer before closing my tailgate and hoping into the driver seat. When she got in, she asked. "By the way, where did you get the beer from? Aren't you like seventeen?"

I chuckled. "As you pointed out before, I'm rich and have a lot of influence. I could buy several bars on a whim. In this case though, I had a friend buy it for me."

I dropped her off at her vehicle and went home myself. Bonnie and Ayana were there waiting for me. We spent the rest of the day and night in each other's arms. The next morning I found Johnathan and Clark both at home.

I congratulated them both on their recoveries and did the chores at lightning speeds. I was done in just under a minute. I hung out with Clark fixing their tractor when Lois showed up with Lana. Lana gave me a hug and thanked me for Paris before turning to Clark and commencing awkward silence.

I tapped Lois's arm just before she could say anything and pulled her away saying. "They have history and it's not exactly either of our business."

She informed me that she went to see Lionel yesterday and dig up Chloe's grave today. She told me about the metal man and the soldiers and I laughed my ass off. I walked up to the loft in the barn with her and after a while Clark came up.

I informed him of my findings and he sighed. "We need to find her, she could be in trouble!"

I nodded. "Now I'm sure she is. Lois here tipped off Lionel and now he's sent a special Belle reve patient to track down and kill Chloe. Poor guy, he goes in for treatment and comes out a confused psycho under Lionel's thumb."

Lois frowned. "If you're talking about gensui boy, you can save your pity. He tried to cut me in half!"

I snorted. "I'm sure it would've been an improvement. Maybe then you'd have learned something."

Clark chuckled before Lois slapped me. I sighed. "My point is, the kid was probably scared and confused when he was sent to belle reve for psychiatric treatment and Luthor turned him into a living weapon that kills on command. He's as much a victim as Chloe or even you. And for reference, the next time you slap me, you'd better have a lot more than a bratty temper to back it up."

Before she could comment, helicopters flew overhead the barn and a spotlight shone in. I turned to see an old General walking up the stairs. "Lane, What brings you to my neck of the woods? Another training mission or are you on a retrieval mission this time?"

He grunted. "None of your business Mikaelson. Still not serving your country?"

I snorted. "Still choking down swill and puffing cheep cigars?"

He turned to his daughter instead of answering. "It's time to go Low."

She smiled. "Hey daddy."

Clark's eyes went wide and I laughed my ass off when I saw the black clothes his people were in. "So it was your people that got their asses handed to them by these two! This is great, if only I'd been there."

He grumbled before saying. "You'd have gone down like last time."

I sighed. "Not likely. If I remember correctly, I won that fight."

He snorted. "You nearly killed yourself and the training officers."

I chuckled. "Good times. Anyway, it seems your current crew would be dead if these two can take them on with impunity."

Lois spoke up. "Hey, I'll have you know I've been trained by navy seals."

I snorted. "I was raised by navy seals and taught nearly everything they could instill in me since I was four. But hey, if you want to throw down, I'd be happy to give you a spanking in front of the General."

I turned to her father. "What do you say Lane, want to bet I can't beat your daughter in under ten seconds? It'll be just like last time."

He paled and dropped the cigar from his mouth. "Now you listen here boy, you lay a finger on her and-"

I walked forward. "And what Lane? You can do nothing to me. In the halls of power, I guarantee they'd toss you out long before they toss me out. They're still hoping I'll change my company's policy on weapons once I officially take over."

He went quiet and his and went to his gun. I smiled innocently. "I think that would be the worst move of your career. I'd suggest you rethink it while it's still an option."

Lois stood between us clearly freaked out now. She stopped her dad from pulling his gun. "What are you doing? He hasn't done anything wrong!"

General Lane snorted. "He crippled thirteen of the best seals I've ever worked with!"

I snorted next. "I was ten and they were allowed weapons. It was your way of beating a child."

He frowned. "I was toughening you up just like your parents asked."

I sneered. "Your men got what they deserved and even that was light. If you'd have joined, you wouldn't be here today."

I walked passed him and left. It may have been a fake past but I still hated racists with a passion. As for the men that were paralyzed, they were random seals that were later healed by the company I set up when I arrived. They weren't apart of my history but paralyzed by battles and the illusion altered it to make it me doing the deed.

I was headed back to my truck when Lois caught up. "What the heck was that about?"

I sighed. "We don't see eye to eye. Just leave it. I'll never like your father and so long as he is the way he is, I'll never try to. I meant nothing by the sparing offer though. I wouldn't hurt you over something so petty."

She nodded. "I get the anger but why the threat?"

I shook my head. "It wasn't a threat but a fact. I was so very angry back then and when he told them to teach me a lesson, if he'd have joined them, I'd have killed him without a second thought. I was a kid Lois, a ten year old that didn't want anything to do with the horrible parents that adopted me as a trophy and their insistence that I be their personal weapon. When your father agreed to help train me, I begged him to take me away. Instead he ordered his men to deliver me a beating I wouldn't forget. I shattered the spines of every one of those navy seals in an attempt to get to your father for those orders. If I didn't have a very unique shock collar on when I got to him, he'd be dead now."

She looked at me with fear. I sighed. "Now that I'm no longer an experimental toy, I've grown beyond my anger. I had my people at Heretic industries heal those soldiers and offer them compensation for the past. I just can't look at your father without all that anger bubbling up inside me and feeling the urge to snap his neck. I spent another six years like that because of his refusal. And he wasn't the only one telling people to tech me a lesson."

I leaned against my truck and sighed. "Life's weird that way. I'm free and he's got the balls to stand in front of me and taunt me. That alone should tell you how far I've come. If it were even three years ago, I'd have emptied that sidearm into his head. Now I can walk away. That's all I ever wanted, the ability to walk away. Anyways since he's in town, I guarantee he knows where Chloe is being kept. I suggest you take Clark along as he knew her best."

I hopped in my truck and she spoke up. "Thank you for walking away."

I smiled. "No problem Lane. Take care, I'll be staying out of this mess."

I drove home and met Bonnie and Ayana in the doorway. I grunted. "The racist prick is in town."

They nodded and dragged me to the bedroom to relieve some stress with a message. When they were done being massaged, they returned the favor.

A week later school started up again and we were officially seniors. I had more than enough credits to pass and go to college now but I wanted an easy year so I planned to rejoin the torch and join the football team as I only had two official classes each morning.

When I arrived in school, I saw Ayana walk up to the plastic surgery girl Abby and give her a kiss. She removed her flaws from her mother's surgery practice and walked over to me.

Lois was with Clark watching them and I heard her ask. "I thought she was straight?"

Bonnie walked up behind Clark saying. "We prefer each other if we decide on females, but we have Alex if we want a man. She was just exploring, what's wrong, jealous?"

Lois and Clark turned to Bonnie and she grabbed Lois's ass. "Not bad yourself, if you want to try a kiss, just ask."

I barked out a laugh at the face Lois made while walking over with Ayana on my arm. "Lois, are you trying to take my girlfriends away from me?"

She raised a challenging eyebrow. "And if I were?"

I grinned. "You'd have to do a lot more than a simple kiss to accomplish that."

She backed down. "Yeah, that's not going to happen."

I chuckled. "So Clark, I hear you're trying out for the team again. Mind if I join you? I'm hoping to fill in all my spare time as I only have two mandatory classes. I'm hoping Chloe will take me back at the torch as well. Otherwise this year is going to be boring."

I was wearing my school ring when when I asked and he was staring at it. "Are you sure it's safe to be wearing that?"

I chuckled. "It's a real ruby. I had it replaced so I could wear it. Here, try it on for yourself."

I took it off and handed it to him. He slid it on then took it off. "Huh, think I can get mine the same?"

I chuckled. "Easily."

I slid off my bag and opened it up. Inside was full of school rings from our year with real rubies. I took one out saying. "Trade me. I want mine back."

Lois exclaimed. "Holy smokes, that must be worth a small fortune!"

I nodded and handed her one. "You'll have to get it resized but otherwise the band is the original while the red meteor rocks were replaced with real rubies this time."

She frowned. "Not that I'm complaining, but what's wrong with meteor rocks?"

I shrugged. "Other than the fact that they're radioactive and tend to mutate people's biology, nothing."

Her eyebrows shot up. "Yikes, I think I like the rubies better then."

I nodded and zipped up my back and slid on my ring. "So, who wants to help me distribute them, I sent Pete's in the mail and everyone that couldn't be here will be sent one as well."

Chloe walked over hearing the last part. "I'll help."

I smiled. "Good to see you're here. Actually, I wanted to talk to you about rejoining the torch as well. If you want, you can send out the notice to pick up the new rings at the torch throughout the day."

She grinned. "I'd be happy to take you back. I was kind of sad you quit last time."

I sighed. "I was swamped with school and farm work. Now I have all my credits and I only need to take two classes in the morning so I'm joining the football team and now the torch to take up some of the free time."

She nodded and Lois grumbled. "That's not fair, I got sent back to high school because I didn't have enough credits, but here you are already done with them."

I chuckled. "Actually, I could've been done with them my sophomore year but it would've made both junior and senior year boring so I stretched it out and took extra classes."

I tossed my bag in my locker before heading to my first class with most of the group. When I finished both classes, I went to the coaches office to ask to join the team while handing in my permission slip. Assistant coach Teague gave me the go ahead to try out after I told him my situation.

He seemed surprised. "That's amazing actually. You don't see many academically talented people built like you are. With so much free time why don't you just graduate early?"

I smiled. "My guardian wants me to experience life with people my own age. Teague, that name sounds familiar. Any relation to Genevieve?"

He frowned. "That's my mother's name."

I sighed. "Then your mother and my parents were in the same circles. The Mikaelson's, ever heard of them?"

He nodded wide eyed. "I thought they all died in some ship wreck though."

I shrugged. "I wasn't there, I took a separate vacation and didn't hear about the accident until long after they were gone. I'm the sole heir to Heretic industries and at the end of the year, I'll have the option to take control of it or go to college first."

He shook my hand. "So you're a legacy as well?"

I shook my head. "I was adopted to be their ornament. As for the rest of their friends, I couldn't care less what they're up to. I know Lionel's in prison and Virgil is sick in New York, I hadn't had word of the Teague's since before my parents disappeared."

He sighed. "My parents kept me at arms length to protect me, I think. Not a real fan of my father anyway. As for my mother, I haven't seen her in months."

I chuckled. "Well here's to hoping I make the team. It was nice meeting you coach."

I said my goodbyes and went to the torch to write a story on the rings and their real rubies replaced. I wrote that all seniors from my year would receive one for free and all they have to do is come pick it up themselves from the torch."

The issue ran by lunch and the torch became swamped after that. I took down names while Chloe handed out rings and told them to get it resized if it didn't fit. Lois was there doing an article on Abby about plastic surgery.

She seemed to be having fun at least. By the time tryouts were held, I was on the field doing warmups. I saw Clark's arm San chuckled inside knowing he wasn't actually that good without his abilities.

I was going for wide receiver anyway so it was fine. When I was up to try out with Clark as quarterback, I hauled ass at the peak of human speeds. No one could touch me and when I caught the ball, I score a touchdown. It was a beautiful play if I do say so myself.

The coaches tried me for all the other positions and I performed a little weaker to show where my strengths lay. I got the position by the end of practice after another ten touchdowns. At the end of the school day, I drove home to start the chores.

Bonnie and Ayana informed me that Martha took over managing the Talon for them as Lana didn't want to continue working it. Johnathan met me in the fields saying. "I'd better get used to the labor again or I'll be screwed come next year when you move to college."

I chuckled. "Don't worry, you can sell most of the herd by then or hire a few hands as the land has tripled over the summer. I bought Lana's old land as well as the old mill and the land around it and turned it all into farm land connecting it all to this on. The herd has went up to seven thousand heads. It would take a lot of work for even a well oiled team of farm hands just to do it all. That's not including planting and harvest seasons that'll be coming up. I'm having a lot of semi's come for the crops that are about to be replanted to sell them all off."

He nodded. "Martha told me between the crops and the cattle we got nearly eighty grand after costs."

I shook my head. "That was before I expanded. You're looking at close to five hundred grand this coming harvest season. Consider it my going away gift to you. As for the land, I can have houses and stables built before I leave for college so you can sell it to whomever you please."

He frowned. "But-"

I held up a hand. "I don't need or want the money. This gives me something I enjoy doing that's peaceful to me. Out here in the open air, there's a lot of time and room to think. I find it refreshing. As for hiring hands to take over the farm, that's up to you and Martha. If you want, I suggest subcontracting the work out to families that need the house and are willing to work. Just remember, I'll be graduating with Clark so he won't be around a lot to help anyway."

He sighed and nodded. "In that case, you wouldn't mind an old man helping while I get used to all the work again would you?"

I shook my head. "Be my guest, just remember to start off easy with your heart the way it is."

We talked about a lot of random things including the fact that I took out a health insurance policy on him and Martha for ten million dollars the day they signed the contract that gives them my land. He wasn't to happy about it until I explained that the money was for whatever part of his family didn't die. It was to ensure the farm and his family was taken care of.

He lightened up and I told him it was recommended by my lawyers to appease the company and give his family a safety net. He knew I wasn't like Lex as he knew my secrets already so he accepted it as the gift it was meant to be. Ryan and Clark came out to help in the fields as well.

I warned Clark against powers until after dusk. It was good hard labor and helped Ryan build his character. Once dusk hit, two blurs disappeared and the fields were taken care of as well as the cattle in moments. The cattle were used to the gusts of wind as it meant they were getting fed and watered along with a scrub down they seemed to enjoy.

We finished of the run by taking care of the twenty odd herd of horses. Lana's horse seemed to be the lead stallion of the herd by now. Even at his age, the others followed him. When we finished grooming them all and feeding them, we met the other two outside the stables.

Johnathan asked. "What took you so long?"

Clark shrugged. "There were a lot more than I remembered having growing up."

I chuckled. "That's alright, the chickens and milk cows can be on you from now on, I'll handle the rest. That way we'll get done at about the same time."

Johnathan laughed at my taunt and Clark asked. "Oh yeah? How about a race then."

I chuckled. "Any time Boy Scout."

I said my goodbyes and went home while they headed inside. The next day Clark saved Lois from a very angry plastic surgeon who was then sent to Belle Reve. I wrote an article on a donation of football gear that Lex was donating. I chalked it up to Clark being on the team and Lex trying to get in his good graces.

It wouldn't be released till tomorrow anyway so I spent the day going about my business. During practice, I showed the head coach what Teague was bragging about. During each play I was untouchable and I earned the teams respect when I volunteered to sit out so the starting wide receivers could continue to play as a team.

One of them gave up his spot so he could try for defensive linebacker and I became a starting wide receiver anyway. When the team started to act funny, I looked to the cheerleaders and saw them giving out Kryptonite Gatorade. When the quarterback quit to take a cheerleader to the mall shopping, I called a break by telling the coach the cheerleaders were poisoning the team.

I grabbed my phone off the bench and made a few calls. The police showed up with Jarvis and a lab scientist. The Gatorade was tested positive for meteorite poisoning and one of the cheerleaders pointed fingers at the ones that made it. Bonnie and Ayana gave the names of everyone involved while the football team was put in quarantine for testing.

I slipped told Clark to trust my people while they did the tests. He hadn't drank any yet and after a quick sweep with a Geiger counter he was let out. Only seven of the starting positions were infected. The cops sent a squad car after the head cheerleader that took her boyfriend to the mall.

Seven other cheerleaders were arrested because they knew some kind of drug was in it but they didn't know exactly what. Chloe got a hell of a story out of it. The seven players were put under observation while the lab specialists hooked them up to IVs and took them to the hospital.

The rest of the team was released to resume practice. Clark took charge of the team while I was speaking to the sheriff. She asked me how the cheerleaders got ahold of meteor rock when I had bought it all.

I sighed and pointed out. "LuthorCorp refused to sell any rocks or let my people take them. Hell, Lionel Luthor was refining them for some weird experiments last year. All the meteor rock Heretic industries owns is locked away and heavily regulated under armed guard. I have more security on what I have then Fort Knox, odds are they flashed a LuthorCorp guard and gave him a good time for a few rocks or their own supply. I recommend you have people raid their lockers and homes for any more of it and make them wear lead suits."

Chloe got the quote she wanted and the story was getting even better for her as she could embarrass LuthorCorp. I left the sheriff to do her own investigation while Jarvis gave her proof of my words about Lionel. I joined the team on the field while the area where the cooler was was dug up and shipped out to be disposed of.

After a few rough plays, the team smoothed out after Clark got used to leading the team. The next day Lex made his donation and my story broke along with Chloe's. It was the most widely received paper the school had made in a while. The players joked about Clark and Lex's bromance for awhile but it was mostly jest as he stepped up to lead when a lot of the team was sick.

A couple days later the big game was rough for our defense but otherwise our offense was untouchable. They blocked like they were warriors at the battle of Thermopylae. I ran my plays beautifully and scored sixteen touchdowns.

After we won, Lois announced that she was going back to college. I told her the torch would miss a promising writer and suggested she tried journalism as a minor college course to see if she liked it. I left her and Clark on the field talking while I went to get changed.

Two days later the original team members were let out of the hospital and told to be careful next time. The cheerleaders were still going to jail for poisoning the team members. The two responsible for the planning were tossed into Belle Reve as they were very disturbed individuals.

I met Clark's new friend Bart at the Talon one evening while he was speeding around. Chloe brought him over to introduce us while Clark went to check on something. I shook his hand and Chloe introduced me as Smallville's own billionaire farm boy. He raised an eyebrow. "No joke? You don't look the type."

I chuckled. "The billionaire or the farm boy?"

He smirked. "Either. You look like a jock."

I shrugged and took off my lettermen jacket. "How about now?"

He saw my ruby class ring and my black silk shirt with my golden vault ring before nodding. "Now I see the billionaire, but still no farm boy."

Bonnie leaned over and rubbed her hand up my stomach, pulling up my shirt to reveal my tanned six pack and my well muscled chest. I sat back and pulled her into my lap while she asked. "How about now?"

He looked a bit awkward when he answered. "I can see the farm work pays off at least."

Chloe commented. "Yes it does." Before stopping herself and receiving an annoyed look from Bonnie and Ayana.

I chuckled while Bart looked at me in envy but I could exactly tell what for without reading his mind. He pulled Chloe away and started flirting with her while I entertained my girls. The next day I got word that Bart left sometime after racing Clark.

I felt out where he was at and realized he was heading to Star city. Over the next week I wrote a few articles for the torch on bland subjects ranging from school curriculums to library maintenance. During that time I was putting real effort into other projects. I did a full sweep of Heretic industries before having Jarvis apply for several hundred patents ranging from liquid processors to crystal memory hard drives.

Ince those went through, I got my people working on smartphones and crystal memory servers that would speed up all computers around the globe to instant access. My trial run for the satellites was a success and now I had the makings of a free wireless phone company.

I spent an evening building the codes and firewalls beyond anything even krypton had. By the time I was done, I had an AI protecting the mainframe that could kick brainiac's ass back to the Stone Age. It was self aware and served me as its creator. It would only ever do its job to protect the servers. Nothing and no one could change that but me.

By the time Clark went to stop Lionel from hurting Lex, Jarvis was announcing a full systems upgrade to every country simultaneously. The US was the first to ask for the upgrades, Britain and Russia followed soon after and China wasn't far behind them.

They were warned that it was hack proof by anything as it contained a set of firewalls that would crash any hackers computer that tried. They could hack each other if they were skilled enough, but they couldn't hack the mainframe for Heretic industries or other nations servers that had the same upgrades.

Just like that, millions of servers were changed and upgraded. Heretic industries nearly doubled in cash flowing inwards. A couple days later the free smartphones with wireless internet access was announced and dispersed over every country that excepted them.

China held out as they had a government propaganda they were holding on to do their people remained clueless sheep. The rest of the countries that weren't under a dictatorship took them gladly. It reached all the way to Smallville by the time Clark was back in his own body.

I traded out my phone and all it's contacts to the new one that I custom built. It was even more advanced then the other smart phone as it was a crystal based phone all the way through. As it was, it could hold all of the worlds data in its memory storage and still only take up one percent.

My phone had a direct link to the AI as it safeguarded my privacy like a guard dog.

Over the next three months our football team was victorious in every game. I wore blue Kryptonite on a necklace constantly now a-days. I saw no reason not to as it could no longer effect me so long as my curse surrounded it.

When we won the semifinals to go to the state championship, I felt a force trying to make me fumble the ball. It was a sort of mind control on my body. But I was a god, no matter how well I hid it and no mortal could command my body against my will.

I scored the winning touchdown and enjoyed the victory. Seeing as no one got hurt, I hit the showers while the team celebrated on the field. When I was dressed, I headed out but was stopped by the assistant coach. He handed me a cup and I chuckled. "I take it I was doing to well for you to believe it's all skill?"

He smiled. "Coaches orders, you know how it is."

I smiled. "You want to give watch or are you going to Trust I can piss in a cup without supervision?"

I headed to the bathroom toilets. He followed and I chilled while leaving the stall door open. "I'm not shy, just don't look me the eyes and we're good."

I pissed and turned it into human urine as I did so. Not exactly a water to wine trick, but I try. I handed him the cup while I zipped up and went to wash my hands. "Let me know I'm clean whenever you want."

After using a test strip, he wrote down that I was clean then spoke. "So was it all skill?"

I chuckled. "No, some of that last play was sheer willpower. Towards the last run I felt like I was in quick sand. I started to get tired, hence the hot shower and me heading home for some sleep."

He nodded. "Well, I was impressed. Though I imagine I'll have to do Clark's test next as there are going to be some scouts coming for the championship game."

I sighed. "You can tell them not to pay attention to me as I neither need nor want a football scholarship. After this year, I'll probably never play the game again."

He nodded slowly. "So it's still just to pass the time for you?"

I sighed. "It's fun, don't get me wrong. But I don't picture myself playing this game for the rest of my life. I have a company to take over when I'm done with college. You know how it is I'm sure."

He nodded sadly. "I wasn't exactly meant for being a coach myself either, but here I am."

I chuckled. "Life's a mysterious thing isn't it. Three young billionaires finding their way to a small town in Kansas. One already taken over his family's company. One is disgraced and the last hasn't even done anything of note. I wonder what it is about this town that attracts us so."

I walked off as he told me to be ready for Sunday's game. I found Clark getting changed in the locker room on my way out. I passed him a blue kryptonite bracelet and told him to wear it when coach asks him to get drug tested. He slipped it on and asked me why he felt so tired.

I sighed. "Blue kryptonite takes away the powers of the yellow sun. It took me a while to find enough to make us something. My people had to sift through a lot of meteor rocks to find it. It will only take away your powers, so once they test your urine, be sure they dump it out afterwards. I was just tested by coach Teague. He said you may be next. Let me know if you have to give a blood sample, I can switch it out faster than they can see."

He nodded. "Thanks for the heads up and the bracelet."

I nodded. "No problem. Though I wouldn't wear it on the field until you adjust to having no powers."

I showed him I was wearing my necklace while saying. "It takes some getting used to so I recommend doing so in the off season. It's not like you need the scholarship, but I'd hate to see us loose the game because you're not used to playing in harsher conditions."

I left him thinking on that and headed to Lex's mansion. I walked in like I owned the place and sat down on the couch. He looked over from the pool table. "So what brings you to my doorstep?"

I chuckled. "I'm bored and I want to make a wager, one you couldn't possibly refuse."

He stopped playing and came over before pouring himself some scotch. "Oh, I'm intrigued. What kind of wager?"

I smiled. "Nothing fancy. The high school state championship game."

He cocked his eyebrow. "And the stakes?"

I grinned. "If the we win, you give me that nifty little piece of paper you found the hidden map on when you X-Rayed it. If we lose, I'll tell you all of your fathers hidden secrets you still don't know about. Trust me, they would be illuminating even now."

He thought for a minute. "I'd like to add something to the stakes. If you win, you join me in a joint venture we can both agree on. I'd like another shot at building a working relationship between our companies now that my father's in prison."

I sighed. "Very well, but we will both have to agree on said venture and it'll have nothing to do with weapons or human testing."

He nodded. "Agreed. So, we have the bet down, let's celebrate."

I chuckled. "Not today, I have to tend the herd now, I'm late as is cause the coach insisted on a drug test. Weird people, really, who would use drugs for a game? Crazy people."

I got up and headed for the door before saying. "If you try and make a fake of that paper to pass it off as the original to me Lex, I'll see you in a far worse position than your father is in now."

I went home thinking on the future before doing the chores. I wrote an article in the torch about the new student being below average in grades and test scores and yet making it to the LuthorCorp scholarship exchange program. I even added a picture of him making and taking bets. It was headlined the Foreign Exchange Bookie.

I had it on file for the next mornings print. When I arrived at school to turn it in, I met Chloe and the bookie himself in the torch. He was daring her to take a bet when I walked I .

I chuckled. "Even if she does take the bet, it won't be for much. How about I make a bet instead. I'll bet if you don't leave right now, I'll have the principle in here to kick you out for illegal gambling."

He scowled. "That's not a very good gamble."

I smiled. "Try me."

He backed away and tried whispering commands that I brushed away like swatting a fly. He left when he realized his words were not affecting me. I handed the flash drive to Chloe saying. "I've completed my article. It's about how the new kid got the LuthorCorp scholarship even though he has horrible grades and is one of the biggest bookies this town has right now. I have a few photos for you to look over of interesting people making bets with him. Including you."

She was like a dear in the headlights when I mentioned her. "That was only for undercover reporting work. I was-"

I waved it off. "Save it. The picture isn't apart of the article itself, it's just a friendly reminder Chloe Sullivan has a darker side as well. I think I'll name it watchtower. As she's always watching for the next scoop even when she has to get her hands dirty."

She shivered as my tone shifted into something more sultry. I wasn't hitting on her per say. More like teasing with interest. I felt Ayana and Bonnie paying attention and when I was about to respond to their curious thoughts, Chloe spoke. "Since my story just ran out on me, I might as well print yours for the front page."

I sighed. "I wasn't trying to blackmail you Chloe, I would never do that to you. No, I was just teasing you as Ayana and Bonnie seem bored with just the three of us now. They want another lover and I was testing the waters to see if you were interested."

She blushed deeply and looked away. I sighed. "I know you have feelings for Clark, but I figured I'd offer an alternative that goes beyond Clark and his secrets."

She seemed put on the spot so I backed away. "Keep the article or not. It matters very little to me. If you want, you can put your own name on the byline. I'm not really interested in journalism anyway, it was only to take up time and spend some time getting to know a potential lover."

I left after that and headed to breakfast to wait out the time till my classes start. Bonnie and Ayana showed up and Bonnie asked. "Are you sure about this?"

I smiled sadly. "We have eternity my loves. I can't expect to keep you all to myself all the time. I will always love you both, but I've felt your enthusiasm waining each time we've made love lately. I can't stand for a male to touch you, and I'll understand if you want to separate because of it, but I'm only trying to keep you both happy. Sex is one thing sure, but I've felt distant lately each time we connect to share our core selves. I'm hoping since the both of you approve of her, it may bring us closer again."

They were silent for a while before Bonnie nodded. "We are willing to try, but it wasn't just us that was losing interest. We've sensed your mind elsewhere and felt you growing more distant. The lack of enthusiasm is because we've been fearing you'll pull further away without even noticing it. The fact that you thought it was entirely us means you've pulled further than we thought."

I frowned and rubbed my temples. I did a search of my soul, body and mind, before turning to my domains. I found the magic domain easily enough as it had very little connection to myself.

I found the speed force even easier as it was a constant steady connection, but my domain of death was shaky beyond belief. My soul connection to it was becoming more and more unstable as my soul was to strong for the little domain to handle.

I saw the death gods looking at my boarders with terrifying fear as if i would burst forth at any moment and consume them all. I turned by gaze to them and they shrunk back in fear.

I sighed and told them. "I'm not after any of you. I'm trying to hold on as I'm going to try and find a relic or two and maybe take on one of the stronger death gods. If you help me keep my realm stable, I'll allow those that do so to become my minor pantheon of death gods. They'll be able to feed on the weaker gods that die challenging me. I'll even today in the location of a few relics to those that are truly loyal."

Anubis, Osiris my neighbor since the Buffy verse, and Hades came forwards to the boarders and added a barrier as one to help steady my domain. When they bowed, I nodded. "Very well. Once I've taken the next step and consumed a higher god, I'll tell you of the locations of the relics. As for the more immediate reward-"

I waved a hand and the ten odd death gods around my boarders started to struggle then die. "Feast and grow stronger. I've no use for weak pantheon members. If you have enemies, tell me of them when I take the next step and I slay them for you."

The descended on the dead gods and started absorbing their essence to strengthen their own souls and eventually expand their domains. I smiled. "Be sure to stay away from my wives domains. They're cranky when other gods get to close."

I closed my eyes and descended back into my body. I took a gasping breath before steadying myself. "My soul was and is in a state of flux because it is to strong and large for my domain to handle. My bodies current state of power is forcing it to try and escape my will to expand my domain without my permission. If it does that, my soul would split and become a separate god that would fight for dominance of my body. It would take on a mind of its own."

I sighed. "I need peace in my mind and body to steady myself and find my center again. It will last a few more years since three gods decided to help for fear of me consuming them out of desperation."

I left them to head to class a little while later. Chloe must have went ahead with the story because by the end of my first class, the school was abuzz with rumors of illegal gambling. The head coach was fired as his picture was the one Chloe went with.

She took the byline like I suggested. When my second class ended, I heard coach Teague was stepping up for the big game. The new kid was pulled from school before lunch and LuthorCorp made the announcement that they were revoking his scholarship and deporting him.

I got a call from Lex just before practice asking about the truth behind the foreign kids gambling. I told him to read the article because it was all true. I left it at that and went to practice. After running the shit out of suicides, I found Clark sweating with the rest of us. I saw his bracelet and asked how the drug test went.

He smiled saying he was clean to the coach's shock. We finished practice with rundowns of the plays-throughs. Over the next few days I saw less and less of the girls as they were getting to know Chloe better in case she decided to join us.

The day of the championship game I arrived ready for anything, or so I thought. When I arrived at the locker room, Clark was already there being threatened by the foreign kid. I walked up behind the kid and knocked him out with a punch to the back of the head. I blurred and took him away to a ship bound for Hong Kong before coming back in a flash.

Clark asked. "What'd you do to him?"

I smiled. "I left him in a shipping container to Hong Kong without a wallet. Don't worry, he's fine, the container is open and he can get out at any time."

Clark frowned. "How did you move so fast without your powers?"

I smiled and showed him my necklace had a small iron clasp. I opened it and the blue kryptonite was revealed. "I made a change for emergencies. I can't have some disaster happening while I'm powerless to stop it can I? You'll probably want to make the same changes-"

He shook his head and showed me that he wasn't wearing the bracelet. "I've decided that since I'm going to play, I'm going to play fair for myself as well as everyone else. These abilities are mine to control and I need to have full control of them at all times rather than shirk responsibility for them with meteor rocks."

I smiled and took my necklace off. "I was waiting for you to catch on. You were born Kal-El but raised Clark Kent. I suspect it's time for you to be both. It was never a choice of one or the other, but adding one to the other."

He smiled. "Something like that."

We changed and got ready for the game. When we went out with the team, Johnathan stopped Clark and they did their father son growing up speech. I followed the team out on the field as they said our names. It was a rough game as this team was marginally better than the last one we stepped on to get here.

Every throw from Clark to me resulted in a touchdown while our defense fought for it all the way. By the end we were tied for the last fifteen seconds on the clock. Clark pulled a runner after throwing the ball to me as I was about to be swarmed by the linebacker and rest of the potent's defensive line.

He made it to the touchdown line on the opposite side right before I was about to be tackled. I through the ball as I was hit three ways from the defensive line. I heard the buzzer go off and the crowd cheer as I ate dirt. Luckily, I was just when I got up with a flip.

Clark was holding the ball with his hands in the air and a big goofy grin on his face. The team went wild as the scoreboard showed our win. I smiled and told the other team. "Congratulations, that's the first time all season I've been caught let alone tackled. That was a truly inspired maneuver."

I held out my hand and meant it hole heartedly. The first two turned away but the linebacker took off his helmet and shook my hand. "Thanks. I came up with it when I saw two of us wasn't enough to take you out."

I chuckled. "Only position I was any good at really."

He nodded. "But your damn good at it."

I sighed. "Well, with a play like that, I'm sure you should at least think of joining a business class for college. You'd be surprised how close both rely on strategy like that."

I went to hit the showers while the team cheered and the crowd joined in. When I was out, Lex met me in the locker room where I went to change. "That last play looked like it hurt."

I nodded and showed him my bruised ribs. "It was the only chance we had to win because they sure as hell weren't going to allow me to score the final touchdown. Sacrifices had to be made. Not like I need the glory or scholarships though."

He smiled. "Speaking of which, the foreign exchange student Chloe did an article on went missing on his way to the airport."

I shrugged. "Maybe he caught a different flight. Not my problem anyway. So, my winnings?"

He held out a rolled up old piece of paper. I unrolled it and did a quick X-Ray of it. When I found it was the original, I nodded and slid it into a tube I'd brought for it. "Since I'm in a good mood, I'll tell you one of your fathers secrets anyway. You have a sister named Tess Morgan. She's Oliver's ex-girlfriend I believe."

His smile went away and I sighed while turning and getting dressed. "That's all I'll say on it. So, what project do you have in mind for our collaboration?"

He smiled again and held up a book. "What do you know of the symbols on the paper and the cave wall?"

I chuckled. "I can point you to your fathers old cell mate. He can read some of it from what I understand. I'll tell you right now Lex, I'm not joining your obsession of the cave walls."

He handed the book to me and I opened it up to reveal the printed map from the page I just won. He asked. "How about a treasure hunt then?"

I chuckled. "Sure, why not. I'll bring Clark along since he stares at the same language for hours on end like it's a picture."

He nodded. "I'll let you know when my people have something then."

I nodded. "I'll await the call or what ever."

He left while I was stowing my gear and I was surprised by the girls coming in with Chloe. Chloe was still blushing and shy when she spoke. "I think I'd like to try things your way for once. I've come to realize Clark will never see me that way and I want more from life than a pining love that'll never be."

I nodded. "In that case, why don't you three meet me at the Talon and we'll take things slow. I don't want to spook you."

Bonnie dragged the other two out and I put the scroll away in the vault before following them in my truck. We sat there for half an hour talking about likes and dislikes, wants and needs. The girls changed the subject so often my mind was reeling to catch up and I'm a god!

Bonnie tapped her necklace and pulled out some sage to burn while the conversation turned towards sexual acts we've done or tried out. I saw Chloe glancing at me every now and then while blushing. When the football crowd started rolling in and everything got loud again, I suggested. "Why don't we go to someplace less loud."

Chloe blushingly asked. "What do you have in mind?"

I chuckled. "Nothing so serious yet. I'm thinking the movie room in the back. I can see about reserving it for us and watching a movie or two while chatting more."

She looked a little down. "I thought the point of being lovers or whatever was to be open and honest."

I sighed. "Every relationship starts with steps. We're in the getting to know you step. Once you're comfortable with us we can move further, but for now I can tell you're nervous and a little excited to try something new. The nervousness will pass when you feel less like a piece of meat and more like one of us. The excitement on the other hand will continue to deepen until it becomes something more. It could be lust and passion or could just as easily turn to fear as you may decide to back out of this. We're just giving you time to adjust and once you have, you'll feel things no one other than us could possibly understand. Pleasure and intensity beyond what poets write of."

She seemed content to hang on my every word. I led them to the movie room and told Martha I wanted it to be a private showing and to bill me for any inconvenience. We watched some random movies while answering all of her inane questions about our sexuality and preferences.

She became confused when I told her I'd just as much enjoy the girls together and apart as they would. "Isn't there some guy code that says it's better with more girls?"

I chuckled. "I'm sure there is for certain people that don't really love the girls their with. But you see Chloe, I could be just as happy sleeping with either girl as without while they sleep with each other. I love them enough to put their own pleasures and wants above any I could possibly have. It gives me pleasure to know that they're satisfied."

She bit her lip before moving on. We spent the length of the entire Harry Potter movie series in there just talking. And when we were done talking, we took Chloe home to her house and went home ourselves. Two weeks of talking and getting to know each other better went by and Soon enough it was Chloe's birthday.

I heard about Lois throwing a surprise party at Clark's place. I volunteered to keep her busy as I had my own plans for today. Bonnie, Ayana and I picked up Chloe and took her to the gorge for a reveal. When we got there, Bonnie started. "It's time you knew more about what we are. To start with, we aren't from around here."

I walked to the edge of the gorge and jumped. Chloe screamed. "Alex!"

I flew up to where I jumped off. "Yes?"

Chloe was in for the shock of her life. "But how? How are you doing that? Are you meteor infected?"

I shook my head as Ayana answered. "No, we just aren't from this world."

Flew over to her hand helped her sit down on the hood of the car. "It's a lot to take in, we know. But we felt it was time you knew something important about us."

Chloe frowned. "So where are you from? Mars?"

I shook my head. "Although martians are real, we aren't from their planet. We came here from a far off planet in another galaxy called Krypton. There we didn't have the same power as we did here. Under the yellow sun, we gained a lot more than flying. If you'll allow us, we would like to try sharing ourselves with you through a mind and soul bond. It shouldn't hurt or anything and it'll answer all your questions. If you decide you don't want to know more after that, I'll make it as if you never met us today."

Ayana spoke. "Just think about it. It's a lot to experience. If you like, we can change you physiologically to match ours over time and you'll have a lot more than a few flying tricks up your sleeve."

I backed away and waited for her answer. Chloe frowned then looked thoughtful before finally saying. "Fine, show me, but just remember I'm not saying yes to it all right now."

I closed my eyes and the universe appeared to stand still as Bonnie and Ayana did the same. We each touched Chloe with our minds and souls, sharing all that we are with her. Everything from my first life as a normal human to the day we stepped out of the sun as fully powered Kryptonian gods. She found out about Clark and his secrets as well as our feelings and emotions on every moment.

It was a lot for her to take in and she passed out. I healed her to be sure she didn't get brain damage from it all. She woke up an hour later with a headache. When she sat up, she looked at us with wide eyes. "So you're gods and Clark's from another planet! Oh god, this hurts. I thought you said it won't hurt!"

I sighed and took away her pain. "It seems your body isn't ready for so much. It's time you decide either way. If you want to join us, it'll take time as we alter your body to become like ours over time. If not, then I'll erase all you've learned today and take you back to your normal life, never again to interfere in it."

Chloe sighed. "What happens in my normal life?"

Bonnie smiled. "You have the answers, seek them for yourself."

She closed her eyes and after a few minutes she opened them and sighed. "That's a lot to take in. So my husband gets murdered by my boyfriend and I marry Oliver Queen in a drunk wedding."

I shrugged. "Life is strange I know, I was born twice and sold as a baby before being murdered by my father years later."

She snorted. "Alright, so I don't have the worst life, but I still want something better than that!"

I chuckled. "Join us and you'll walk across oceans of stars and see wonders you'd never believe. You'll have the power to do as you please so long as it doesn't turn you vengeful or mad."

I held out my hand and she bit her lip before taking it. I pulled her close and gave her a kiss while altering her DNA to help her become an advanced human. When that was done, I bit my tongue before deepening the kiss. Ayana and Bonnie were doing the curses that would give her our old body type.

When they finished, I pulled back and kissed Chloe chastely before saying. "Goodnight, when you awaken, you'll be a lot stronger and have a lot of our abilities."

I gave her an aneurism and she died instantly. Bonnie put her in the time vault and went in with her to help her finish the process. They came out an hour later from our perspective, but in reality it had been millennia. Chloe was practically glowing in her new upgraded Kryptonian body. When she saw me, she kissed me for all I was worth, something in us shifted and I took us back to my house with a thought.

She was insatiable and tore off my clothes before we even got to the bed. Her mind connected to mine and I felt a primal hungering lust. It washed over the girls as well and they joined us in bed. I disintegrated her their clothes and saw each of them as wet as I was hard.

Chloe being the eye of the storm made her demands known by climbing on top of me and kissing me before empaling herself on my length. She left out a shuddering gasp as I smelled traces of blood. My hunger went into over drive as it fueled my lust.

Chloe rode me at a gallop and Ayana was laying beside me while Bonnie was using her wicked tongue. I felt my eyes shift as a primal growl came out of my mouth. I rolled over and took position on top as I pounded into her with a friction that sent her over the edge.

She gripped my length like a pulsing mouth of muscle. I deepens my thrusts and leaned down to kiss her before biting her neck. While I fed, she did the same in my neck and we shared a mind numbing orgasm. I felt her gasp as she was filled to leaking.

Wen the orgasm eventually stopped, the bed below us had a descent puddle of our love juices pooled there. As I released my bite, I pulled out of her, drawing a moaning gasp. Ayana, who was coming down from her own orgasm, took my place as she lapped up the juices coming out of Chloe still.

I took position behind Bonnie and began thrusting like the devil possessed. She was letting out her own moans of pleasure now. Soon enough Chloe was joining her as Ayana delved deeper. The morning past quickly and our lust still hadn't wained. The orgasms got longer and eventually Lois interrupted us by showing up at my house.

I stopped the fun saying. "We have company. Your cousin is here."

That pulled Chloe's mouth of of my member. She wiped her mouth while I helped her stand up. As she wasn't a god yet, and she was just a virgin this morning, her body wasn't yet used to sex that lasted for some time. Her shaky legs made some primal part of me approvingly growl.

Ayana laughed and helped heal her while taking the girls to the shower. She told me on the way to the bathroom to. "Clean up and make sure the smells don't linger."

I grunted and cleaned the room with a wave of my hand before doing the same to myself. I made the room smell of lilacs while putting some clothes on in a flash and going downstairs. I was sitting in the living room when Lois nocked. "Come in."

A loud noise later and Lois was in front of me asking. "So where's Chloe? Lana wanted to meet up for a nightcap before the party."

I chuckled. "She's upstairs with the girls taking a shower, they got something on them earlier and wanted to take a shower before the party started. Don't worry, Chloe doesn't have a clue."

She frowned. "Why are they taking a shower together?"

I shrugged. "Small house, it's not really a Kent mansion and as you can see, I was in the other one a few minutes ago."

She seemed to accept that and went upstairs to hurry them up. I heard her every step until she walked in without knocking. I heard her shriek and come running back downstairs. She was blushing deeply. I turned my thoughts to the girls and they gave me a visual of Bonnie holding Chloe while Ayana cleaned her out with her tongue.

They sent back a smirking impression and I sent back an urge to do more. They blocked my connection and I turned to Lois asking. "What's wrong? Break a nail?"

She shook her head furiously before getting out. "I saw a side of my cousin I never wanted to know about. I think your girlfriends swing the other way, I'm sorry."

I chuckled. "I've known about their tastes for a long time."

She frowned. "So are you their beard? Like a gay best friend?"

I broke out into laughter. "Not even close. We enjoy each other. They have their fun together and they have their fun with me. It's not complicated."

Lois's eyes shot open. "Are you saying you had sex with my cousin?"

I sighed and heard. "Yes, he did. Why do you think we needed a shower. I'm a big girl Lois, and if you'd bothered to knock, you wouldn't have had to find out like that."

I turned to see the girls in bath robes on the stairs. Lois looked disappointed and went outside. I sighed. "Go get dressed, I'll talk to her. She's just hurt you hadn't told her about us."

They headed upstairs and I went out front. I found Lois looking down. "I know it's a lot to take in, but-"

Lois spoke over me. "I'm loosing her. She doesn't talk to me about things anymore and she's been distant."

I chuckled. "You're not loosing her. She just didn't know how to tell you. I mean, what would you have said if she told you she was thinking about joining a relationship that already had three people in it?"

She grumbled. "I'd probably have suggested she try one on one relationships first."

I leaned against my truck. "Every one on one romantic relationship she's ever had has ended badly. Even her longest crush doesn't feel the same way about her. Hell, Clark's more inclined to date you."

She snorted. "Me and Clark would never-"

I waved a hand. "Never say never. Besides, you have a better chance than Chloe ever did with him. No, she wanted this because it offered her a safe place to love and be loved. If it helps, we've spent nearly a month sharing everything with her and her us. We didn't just jump to sex. It's more than anything physical."

She looked at me like I was crazy. "You're enjoying this aren't you? The only guy in a relationship with three girls?"

I looked at her like she was stupid. "Yeah, I'm the chew toy while they have sensual fun. Sorry Lois, but it's not about the sex, while that's amazing for each of us, we have willing listeners to all the shit that goes down in our lives. I listen and offer advice to every problem they have. Hell, I've tried a few times to help Chloe and Clark get together. Nothing has worked as he's as stubborn as a newborn calf."

She finally smiled. "If that's true-"

"It is. Alex has tried on multiple occasions to help me get Clark, even when I had no idea he was doing it. It didn't work each time because he isn't interested in me. Hell, every other guy I've tried to date has tried to kill me. He offered this chance to me not because he wanted to sleep with me but because he was afraid Bonnie and Ayana were losing interest in him and he didn't want them alone."

Lois frowned. "That doesn't make it any better. He's using you to mend his relationship with these two then."

I shook my head and Chloe sighed. "And I was using them all to mend my own broken heart. We're no different in that. Just let us be, Lois, for me?"

Lois sighed next and replied. "Fine I'll drop it, for now at least. Let's go meet up with Lana, she wants to talk to us about something."

I chuckled. "I've got farm work to do Chloe, why don't you and your cousin go without us. Besides, I'm sure Bonnie and Ayana need to check on the Talon."

Bonnie nodded and I mentally told Chloe the plan for tonight and what she could gain from it all. She agreed to play it out as Bonnie and Ayana would help her in subduing the spirit when it arrived. I got to work before they even left and Chloe came over to give me a kiss before she took off.

I spent rest of the day in the fields doing all the farm work before blurring towards the end and finishing it all and heading for a shower. When I was done in the shower, I headed to the Kent farm with the girls. They were a little preoccupied with helping Chloe stay in control of her body while hiding her Kryptonian nature as well.

When we arrived, I led them to the couch in the loft so they could lean on me and concentrate. It was difficult for them because they had to hold up the connection without overwhelming Chloe as she wasn't nearly as strong yet.

When the witch sisters arrived, I slipped away and Chloe passed off the spell book to me long enough for me to make a full copy of everything and give her back the original. She gave me a kiss before heading back into the crowd to find her 'sisters'.

I went back to the couch and covered us in a shield to block the coming spell. When they did their spell I helped the girls and Chloe by reinforcing what they were doing. I took over the connection by myself while they effortlessly suppressed the witch's spirit. My body went into a meditation position while my mind and spirit held the connection.

Luckily we were cloaked from all mortal sight and senses so we weren't noticed even by the two witches. Chloe of course knew where we were so it was fine. When the night passed and everyone left, I blurred and did the chores so fast wind didn't have time to create friction.

I took the girls home and we sat in meditation helping Chloe while everything went down. When they were trying to get Clark to tell them about the stones of power, I could tell Chloe enjoyed digging her nails into Clark.

I sent her an amused impression and she sent back the image of my chest while she was scratching it and applying her mouth to me. I smelled the arousal of Bonnie and Ayana and knew they got the image as well. I felt Chloe's thoughts turn towards it and I gave her a mental spanking.

She turned her attention back to the present of Lana kissing Clark and doing a spell to draw out the answer to her question about the stone of power. When they teleported to the caves and broke in, I watched and wondered why Jor-El never interfered in it at all.

I concluded it must be another test for Clark. When Clark destroyed the book, I helped the girls push the spirit to the surface and out as it was pulled away. Chloe pretended to pass out as Jor-El teleported them out into the anti-chamber. I stopped the connection as we got up and ran to the caves.

I helped Clark up while the girls help up Chloe and the other two. "So, maybe you should ask for help next time."

He nodded. "I thought you didn't want to get involved?"

I chuckled. "Are you kidding, dead witches coming back to life and possessing people? That sounds like fun."

Lana spoke up. "It's rather not!"

I sighed. "Only because you were possessed. But you're failing to see that magic is real and if it is, than it can be learned. I think I'm going to try it out myself after studying up on it."

Lana ignored that and apologized to Clark for the trouble and not telling him sooner. She told us where it initially happened and I apologized. "Sorry about that, if I knew there was a witch waiting to take possession of you, I'd have refused to fund the trip."

Lana smiled. "If I knew about it I wouldn't have asked. No, it's not your fault."

Chloe smirked and walked over to me and gave me a kiss. When we broke apart I whispered. "Happy Birthday."

She we to the girls and did the same leaving Clark wide eyed along with Lana. I rubbed the back of my head. "We're a thing now."

Clark looked at me weirdly and I smacked the back of his head lightly saying. "You snooze you're lose. You had repeated shots and failed spectacularly each time."

I walked up to the girls as they led me out of the cave. Lana was laughing with Lois smiling. We walked to the tribe and got a ride back to my house with everyone else. Lana, Lois and Clark went to his house while we continued where we left off.

The weekend came to an end and with it our marathon of sex. I came to school for my two classes and the torch now that football season was over. Like Clark and quite a few of the team I received a scholarship offer that I promptly turned down.

Luckily Bonnie taught Chloe to control and hone her powers in the time vault while she was giving her the Kryptonian upgrade, or Chloe would've killed the first person she touched. As it is, she could compel the truth out of people now and got some major stories throughout the day.

Everything from a cheating teacher to students sleeping with said teacher for higher grades. The teacher in question was the chemistry teacher, Mr.Barten. He was escorted of the school grounds when the emergency press release was out by lunch.

The students that were named were mostly cheerleaders and and a female science nerds. They were suspended and given counseling for their parts in it. My story didn't make the paper yet as I wasn't using my powers to investigate.

When Chloe went to taunt me, I pulled her into my lap and gave her a teasing kiss while sending the sensations to Bonnie and Ayana. I smell Chloe's instant arousal and pecked her lips before helping her off me. "Clark's on his way here, behave."

She smiled and ran her nails under my shirt before standing up. I started typing my story on the super fertilizer that grows the crops that end up in the school cafeteria. The school was one of the places that bought in bulk from the Kent's farm.

I wrote that it would be hitting the market in the week along with the modified fast growing vegetables. Clark came in and asked. "What's that smell?"

I chuckled and Chloe blushed. "The smell of success? Chloe here toasted a teacher over lunch, maybe it's his scuff marks your smelling as he was dragged out by the police."

Clark shrugged and turned to Chloe. "Good job on that by the way."

She smiled. "Thanks Clark, at least someone said it."

She looked at me and I snorted. "You were always good enough to pull off the story, no need to rub it in, love."

Clark looked between us and Chloe grabbed his attention. "So, what's your article about?"

He sighed. "I was thinking about doing a piece on the recruiters in town for colleges."

I sat back after I finished typing the last of mine. "Sounds interesting, but you'll actually have to meet them this time."

He blushed in shame. "I'm actually thinking about going to them for the netting as soon as I can set an appointment with the dean."

Chloe smiled. "Going straight to the source. I'll make a reporter out of you yet."

I chuckled at her words and sent her my file for tomorrow's article I did. Sh read it over and did her own corrections she preferred for the font and all before putting her name on the byline. I sat there and did searches on random things including the key to the orb of Kandor.

I sent the girls a thought before getting up to deal with it now. "I'm heading out, I'll see you after school, I want to finish my chores early today."

Chloe followed me to the door for a kiss I gave her the keys to my truck before I left. Once I was off school property, I teleported to Montreal Canada, to St. Christopher's Cathedral. I found the clock on the top floor and carefully took the piece of the orb hidden there before blurring away to the Kent farm and doing a full X-Ray to find the book of Rao.

I took it from it's hiding place and put it in my vaults with the Kryptonian things I'd found. I teleported to Switzerland and made myself invisible before finding the mirror box in one of Lionel's safety deposit boxes. I stole it and left a wooden version for them to play with.

When I was done with that, I teleported home and did the chores in a flash. When I was done, I went to help the Kent's take care of baby Sam. I stayed there most of the day till school let out for everyone else.

I spent the next few weeks in relative bliss with the girls while under solar lamps for Chloe. She started using the potentia to charge herself up as well when the lamps stopped helping. When the incident with Lex's sexual misconduct came to light along with his murder charge, LuthorCorp stock hit an all time low.

I was able to buy sweaty percent of the stock with various aliases from the sinking ship. I now owned almost half the available stock not owned by the Luthor's themselves and my bots were the decoy owners. None of it could be tied back to me, so when Chloe helped Clark with the case and Lex was proven innocent, the stock went back up steadily with my bots in place as investors.

The money made off of it was sent to charities I trusted. We watched and bided our time for when it got more turbulent. A couple weeks later the fear toxin was released and I made sure to cover Sam in a shield to be safe. I just made him sleep while everything went to shit.

The toxin didn't effect any of us except Chloe and she came right out of it after a twenty minute trip.
