The Man

Chapter 29 // Dad!

Kyle couldn't believe it, in front of him was Jeremiah Danvers, his dad. Kyle gasped and quickly pulled the chains of the man. He looked terrible, but he was back and that's all that mattered. He slapped the man, after the fifth slap the man awoke. His voice was quite raspy as he spoke "Son?" 

Kyle slowly pulled the man up to his feet while saying "Yes dad, it's- it's good to have you back."

With that they quickly flew to the DEO, he needed to be safe. Kyle landed and let Jeremiah's body rest by holding him up. Alex ran towards them "They told me but I didn't believe it." Alex hugged the man who was completely silent. The man motioned for Kyle to join the hug, which he did. Alex took over bringing him to her lab, which was great. 

Kyle suddenly saw Lena walking towards him, with a irritated face. He quickly walked towards her and asked "What is wrong?"

She pulled him aside, to somewhere a bit more secluded "You need to lock him up whenever you can, he is probably brainwashed. This is all Lillian's doing to get back at you." Kyle slowly nodded, taking the information in.

He stopped nodding and said "Are you absolutely sure?" He didn't want to believe it- it was his own dad for Rao's sake. But- His relationship was built on trust, so he was going to trust Lena. The woman nodded and that's all it took for Kyle to know something had to be done.

Kyle quickly walked away from Lena, ran up the stairs to Alex' lab, taking two steps at the time. And walked inside. "Alex, make sure he is alright. I need to talk to J'onn," Alex nodded and with that Kyle walked out of the room again to a consultation room. Kyle knew J'onn was following him so when he got inside he said "Close the door please."

"Kyle, what is this about?"

"Lena said that it would be smart for Jeremiah to be locked away. He is probably brainwashed or something- did you already look into his brain?"

J'onn shook his head, he put his fingers to his head and tried "I can't."

"Lock him away, he needs therapy or a complete x-ray for some kind of influence-thing in his body. Because that man might be my dad- but his brain isn't it anymore. But for now, we need to act like he will be free so he can do whatever they planned for him to do. And so that we can get information out of him."

J'onn nodded and said "I'm putting my trust in you- if Lena is really right she has really helped us." Kyle nodded and with that he walked outside again, going to the lab. He was surprised to see Lena standing there. He went to his place by her side and held her close.

He put his lips by her ear and said "It is done."

She curtly nodded and with that Jeremiah spoke "I'm so lucky you found me. I'm so lucky to be back with you two."

"Well, it's more than luck." Mon-El commented, Kyle didn't know when Mon-El came inside but he was suddenly there.

J'onn stood up and said "What do you mean?"

"We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon and we don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video or we catch them red-handed."

Kyle tried to act that he didn't know that it was too fishy and said "But we did catch them red-handed." Kyle did something between a scoff and a chuckle.

"Though... No, they were waving their red hands around in the air literally like they just didn't care."

"No..."

"No, Mon-El is right," Jeremiah said, Kyle hoped for answers, but he couldn't show it. "You need to keep your guard up. 'Cause Cadmus does have a weapon."

J'onn was the first to speak "What is it?"

"A nuclear fusion bomb, they're going to destroy National City and blame it on hostile aliens." Kyle shared a knowing look with J'onn.

"How did Cadmus get their hands on it?"

"Well, they didn't steal it. They built it. Using the radiation they mined from your heat vision when you were in their custody." Kyle slowly nodded and looked at J'onn who gave him a small nod.

"Mon-El, hold Alex."

"Why?" Asked Alex.

"Because, you Jeremiah Danvers are under arrest until you are ready to be put into society again because you are stable and not brainwashed." With that Kyle walked forward and grabbed Jeremiah from the stretcher. From the corner of his eye he saw Alex yell and struggle but Kyle was already gone.

He walked to the cell Mon-El was held in, with Jeremiah over his shoulder, and put Jeremiah in there. He closed the door and said "I'm sorry dad, I wanted to believe you. But when the love of my life says something and I know it's true I have to follow it. And that means making the world save by locking you away."

Jeremiah nodded and said "You're right. I should have known I couldn't fooled you or Lena. I did fool Alex though. But I will see if you find a way to 'save' me." Kyle nodded and with that he walked outside. 

He knew Alex couldn't go inside but his sister needed him. So he walked back to her lab and saw her still struggling in Mon-El's arms. Kyle walked up towards her and pulled her into a hug, making Mon-El let her go. Kyle turned to J'onn, while holding Alex, and said "Remove her clearance to that cell. Make sure you do a x-ray or something. But in the end call Eliza, she needs to know he's here. For now," He looked around the room "If you could all leave us and close the door behind you?"

They nodded and with that they left. Kyle was holding a trembling Alex, he moved a hand to her head and slowly rubbed it. "I'm sorry Alex, but it had to be done."

"I-I-I wanted to trust him- he was back and it was him... but- he wasn't him." Kyle nodded and held while Alex cried. It broke him from the inside that this was happening to them. But they would get their father back, it might just take some time but they would get him back.
