Smallville: Kingdom

Chapter 2

4/23/11 - 12:01AM - Kent Farm - Smallville, KS

The Kent farm was quiet, as the house had been emptied after so many years of having a family under its roof. The Kent family from Nathaniel and Mary Kent in 1871 had built the farm and its successors had lived here for years until this year when Clark Kent and Lois Lane had decided to sell the farm.  Clark Kent believing that there was no place for the farm in his new life with Lois and in Metropolis.  There was already a buyer for the house but until then some people were renting the house though currently the farm didn't have a tenant. But tonight it was occupied.

All of a sudden the barn was filled with a bright light as a sound like thunder had reverberated inside the barn as before in the city of Metropolis.  Yet more than one ball of lightning had filled the barn, but three.  As soon as the bright orbs had landed on the ground a person exited from the each of the orbs.  The first produced a young man in a dark suit, dressed in a dark blue coat and hat, wearing white gloves and a golden medallion around his neck.   His complexion was fair and his hair was white.  Just like his eyes were shining as white as lightning until it dissipated like the lightning.  He then grasped the medallion in his hand that then caused his eyes to become a dark royal blue and his hair rich ebony.  He turned around and looked next to his fellow traveler. 

His fellow traveler that touched the ground was a young woman dressed in a long blue tunic that came at her knees.  The garment looked metallic but looked light and comfortable on the young woman, fitting her well-formed figure. She had on long red trousers that also appeared in the same style of the tunic.  Her red boots displayed a blue double 'W' pattern, with one foot she wore a gold ankle bracelet around her shoes, a bracelet that matched with the symbol on her chest.  Her complexion, eyes and her hair were very much like that of her fellow traveler in his current state, though her hair was tied in a loose ponytail with a small curling strand in front of her face. She looked around the place appearing more than familiar with it.  She smiled happily as she looked over her shoulder and noticed her fellow traveler but then looked around her other shoulder as she saw another traveler.

The other traveler was much younger than the other two, for he was still a boy but had a look of determination as solid as his companions.  He touched the ground softly as he continued to glow brightly for a moment, as his clothes were black and green.  The green was on his boots, his torso and his mask.  Yet he wore gloves that were a crisp clean white with the exception of a glowing green ring on the right hand of his finger.  The ring was in molded in the image of the patches on his shoulders.  On his chest was the same symbol on the young woman's ankle bracelet and on her tunic.  He also had a third symbol emblazoned upon green gauntlets and boots, a double 'W' symbol. His hair was as dark as that of his fellow companions but his eyes shined green for a moment until his mask vanished from his face.  Yet they still appeared green but with a rich shade of blue.

Looking at these three one couldn't help but notice a similarity between these three. There was a reason.  They were siblings.  Once they all realized that they were all well and good they came together in a group hug that was warm and strong as the sun.  A sun that glowed with great fraternal love that didn't ever wish to be extinguished, but they eventually broke their hug as the eldest among them in the dark suit spoke up first.

"So little brother what does the ring say?  Did we make it?"

The young boy looked at his ring and tightening his fist as he closed his eyes in a brief trance as he opened them up and spoke.

"We made it, with 'it' being April 23, 2011.  Precisely three weeks before Darkseid attempts his first invasion of Earth and around the same time before Clark Kent and Lois Lane's failed attempt to get married after he came back from the Phantom Zone."
