Chapter 102 - Chapter 102

"Well," Leonardo said with a yawn. "I didn't expect a bunch of weirdos the first thing this morning."

"Seyg, it's an honor to meet you."

Before Leonardo, stood three young adults who knocked on his door in the early morning. In front was a man of average height with olive colored eyes and medium length black hair with slight facial hair. He wore a stoic face as the other male of their group with orange hair smiled like a fool at him. On the other hand the blonde girl shifted her eyes between him and the smiling fool looking guy.

"Well, I don't know who you three are, but whatever. So what do you want? To get this lovely girl into modeling? AV? Movies?" Leonardo asked before shifting his attention to the leader of the trio. "You might also do well, but…"

Leonardo's eyes shifted from the one in front to the orange hair looking fool.

"Him, not so much."

"Woof!"

Dancer agreed from behind, but Leonardo saw their faces stiffen at his words. So he assumed it wasn't what they were after. However, he felt he was close, otherwise would they wear such similar outfits and knock on his door. Better question why were they even knocking on his door.

"We…aren't here for any of those." The leader of the trio said. "My name is Rokk, while he is Garth and last is Imra. We came from the 31st century."

"Oh," Leonardo slammed the door shut.

The trio fell silent as a stunned silence overcame them upon seeing the door slammed in their faces. Since this clearly wasn't in their expectations they looked at each other in confusion. Only after a few moments, did they nod and shift tactics as they decided to break into the house using their abilities.

Walking away from his door, Leonardo didn't want to deal with time travelers. One should simply not play with time in his opinion. The only time he might agree is if someone wants to manipulate time to their own wants or needs should another travel to stop them. Otherwise one should just let history play out.

Crack!

"Dancer, please tell me they just didn't destroy my door." Leonardo looked down at his dog.

"Woof." Dancer turned her head slightly with her ears down.

Clearly, Dancer was making an attempt to lie to him. However, her lying skills were terrible.

"Seyg, we need to talk with you." The one named Rokk stated.

"Just go back to your own time. One shouldn't play with time." Leonardo replied. "Now shoo, I got things to deal with."

"Why is this conversation going differently from what we thought?" Garth whispered to Imra. "History showed, Leonardo Kent loves telling bad jokes, smiling, and being patient with even the most disgusting criminals. So he should be willing to hear us out."

When Leonardo heard this, his ear lightly twitched in light annoyance. The issue with time travelers is they tend to look at the overall personality and not think the historic figure is capable of other moods. Not that Leonardo wasn't unaware he did the same thing from time to time.

"Dancer, give him a bite in the ass." Leonardo said.

"Woof!"

"Ahh!"

Placing some glasses of water before them. Leonardo looked at the trio who seemed determined not to leave. He could only mentally sighed as the plan of house looking had to be put on hold. Since the original plan today was the search to find a new house away from Gotham.

"Thank you." Irma replied to the glass.

"This place is very empty." Garth whispered.

"You know, breaking into someone's house and then complaining about the lack of interior is beyond rude." Leonardo said. "Besides, I am not much of a decorator so besides bare essentials, I tend to skip the other aspects of the house."

"That is completely different from history." Garth looked at Imra. "A few of his home's interiors are still used as references."

"Even if you flunked history, you should know it was Seyg, six Kryptonian wives and his half angel that usually decorate his house." Imra whispered.

'I am going to pretend I didn't hear that.' Leonardo thought after hearing that.

"So why are you guys here?" Leonardo interrupted. "Surely it's not for sightseeing and speaking bad about me."

"We need your help." Rokk replied.

'Really? I would have never guessed.' Leonardo thought boredly.

"A criminal of the 31st century stole a Legion Ring and we know he will come back here to assassinate you." Rokk continued.

Leonardo just blankly stared at the trio as they stared back at him. He didn't know if he should feel honored or something for not only having people wanting to assassinate him in this time period, but future people too. The question now, why did they want to assassinate him and not Clark.

"Why me and not Kal." Leonardo asked as he looked at the trio.

"Kal," Rokk looked a bit awkward. "While he is amazing and leads other heroes and is also targeted by this group of xenophobes who'd rather die than live in peace with aliens. They hate you more, since what you go on to do. You basically are the mentor to all heroes or ability users. For what you go on to do is teach those with abilities to use them in their daily life or in heroism."

Leonardo only raised an eyebrow at such a reason since he could practically hear Rokk's heartbeat speeding up. While not a lie, he also wasn't telling the whole truth either. So he just continued to stare at the young man and tap his finger on the table. He won't move until he gets the full story.

"They hate you more due to the harem you have." Imra jumped in. "Jealousy and envy fuels their hatred for you more."

Leonardo felt a bit surprised but at the same time not. If Aurora had her way, any woman who catches her interest might become a mistress for him. However, Leonardo still felt odd about it and not to mention. He is pretty boring in his own opinion so who would take an interest in him anyways.

"That isn't important. They have sent one of their top enforcers back in time to kill you." Rokk replied. "So will you help us track him and stop him from changing history." 

"History is always changing though." Leonardo replied. "Anyways, despite not caring if there is another assassin out for me or not. If it would send you back to your own time, then let's get this done."

"Great." Garth said excitedly.

After preparing to set out to look for this time traveler. Leonardo received a call from Clark.

"Leo, I need your help." Clark said urgency in his voice.

"Yeah, well, that's an issue." Leonardo replied. "I have my own issue at the moment."

"Leo, this could be a worldwide issue." Clark said. "Our uncle wants to take over the planet."

Leonardo flipped on the news and upon seeing a large rock landmass rapidly growing off the short of California. He felt his issue just got a whole lot harder since he saw the green glow between the landmass cracks.
