Chereads / Crossover Naruto Fanfics / Chapter 237 - Chapter 15

Chapter 237 - Chapter 15

It's been 3 months since everyone found out what happened to Chloe, and for her own safety, they thought it best to not go looking for her.

After Lana told Naruto and Cyn about her missing time and tattoo they began to help her uncover why it appeared on her.

Leaving Metropolis, Naruto and Cyn headed to Midvale to meet the Danvers family and they were alright people that reminded him of Johnathan and Martha a lot though they were a family of scientists instead of farmers.

Heading back to Metropolis the two just enjoyed each others company, crime was nonexistent in Metropolis as regular criminals didn't want to run up against Powerman, and there haven't been any metahumans in town,

Currently, Naruto was in his office working on ideas for his new energy with the clean energy reactor he had installed a month ago after taking Kent Industries and his home completely off the power grid,

"Sir. Are you sure you wish to create another Omegahedron and Alphahedron?" Gideon asked

"In the aspect of powering Metropolis, yes. The orbs will only function as a source of clean energy nowhere near the scale of the one's on Krypton." Naruto said before an alert went off causing him to blink, "Gideon?"

"Shortly after take-off, Metropolis Airlines, Flight 237 bound for Geneva, began experiencing some loss of altitude."

"Cyn.' Naruto said wide-eyed before in a blitz's of lightning he flew out the window

Cyn had been preparing this trip to a fundraiser out in Geneva for weeks, and when she boarded she had been surprised that Alex Danvers was on the plane, apparently she had a convention in Geneva, the two had been making plans to get to know each other better when the first engine exploded and panic ensued,

Lex stood in his office as he along with the people of Metropolis watched, but Lex grew worried as he saw the plane lose another engine before it began to lose altitude quicker and was now on track to crashing through his office

Powerman flew toward the plane as an flaming engine was detached and came toward him but a backhand sent the engine out into the sea before he flew beneath the plane and placed his back against it and had his chakra stick his hands to it before he began to vibrate his body along with the plane

Everyone gasped in horror as the plane struck the building but watched in awe as it went completely through LexCorp with damaging the plane or the building as it began to ascend and the news copters and police helicopters shined their spotlights onto Powerman causing cheers as he flew the plane safely above the city back to the airport

Flying around to the door, Powerman ripped it off its hinges and entered, "Is everyone alright?" He asked only to be met by cheers

Emergency services had been en route soon as Powerman began to fly toward the airport and arrived to help anyone injured, news footage showed Powerman helping any way he could the ambulances and the airport employees before he flew off,

Morning, Diner

A man watched as the news recounted last night's events and grunted before he left, and headed to his rig, before he looked around and proceeded to enter the rig and walked to a computer at the back, "What happened with the plane, Vartox? You were ordered to bring it down."

"Our trap worked. The DEO agents were on board and the bomb detonated." Vartox frowned

"Then why aren't they dead?" The man asked

"Nar flew into the sky and caught the plane." Vartox spat in distaste,

"We knew that making a move in Metropolis there was a high possibility he would get in the way."

"To make sure it doesn't happen again, I am going after him." Vartox said

' I would counsel you otherwise. But the General's arrival is imminent, and hiding in the shadows has lost its appeal. Nothing must interfere. You are instructed to eliminate human operatives. You can add Nar to the list. I will be sending you back up."

"I dont need it.'

"Yes, you do. Even on Krypton, Nar and his family are notorious in the art of combat. Its why they led our armies for generations. Attacking him physically and mentally is the way to overcome him." The man said before he ended the transmission

With Naruto

Powerman was overlooking the plane engine and frowned as he saw signs of alien materials, "Gideon, any luck with finding Fort Rozz?" He asked

"Negative. It is still being cloaked from all sensors."

Powerman grunted in annoyance before he flew off, as he was flying a kryptonite dart came flying at him but he caught it and looked down to see a man in tactical armor aiming a rifle at him

Landing Powerman held up the dart, "That wasnt very nice.' He said walking forward before more soldiers came out of the woodwork, "Hope you guys brought something better than Kryptonite darts. Not that it'll do you any good anyway."

Powerman was about to attack when "Wait!" Alex came forward causing him to narrow his eyes, "We aren't here to fight but we need to talk."

'Funny way of showing it." Powerman said crushing the dart in hand

"We have something to show you." Alex said

Powerman watched her for a moment and decided to see what they had to show him, wasnt like they could harm him anyway,

Outside of Metropolis

Powerman was taken to secret bunker miles outside of the city. Walking in Naruto looked around before he frowned seeing Kara's pod with scientists trying to open it, "Welcome."

Raising an eyebrow Naruto looked to an African American man that approached, "Who the hell are you?"

"Name is Hank Henshaw. And I believe you already know Agent Danvers. Welcome to the DEO, the Department of Extranormal Operations."

"The who?" Powerman asked with a raised eyebrow

"The DEO monitors and protects Earth from the extraterrestrial presence and/or invasion." Martha said walking up causing Naruto to look at her in well-hidden shock

"That means you." Hank said causing Powerman to look at him

"We realize we weren't alone in the universe and we might soon be getting more immigrants." Martha said

"Still doesn't answer the question of why you idiots tried to attack me and why I shouldn't play Kryptonian wrecking ball in your playground.' Powerman said annoyed his eyes flashing red for a second

"We just wanted to talk." Martha said stepping up to Powerman who looked down at her, "Our Intel has gathered a structure called Fort Rozz is on Earth."

"Krypton's maximum-security prison. Banished to the Phantom Zone, guess not anymore."

"When it crashed, the alien convicts, the worst criminals in the galaxy, they all escaped."

"And you brought them here." Hank said

"How do you figure that?" Powerman asked with a raised eyebrow

"Same way your theft of the ship found in Ellesmere Island brought Zod and his army." Hank said

"Theft? It was Kryptonian tech, like that ship there, which reminds me.' Powerman said before he spoke in Kryptonese, "Ship head to scout ship in Antarctica."

Kara's pod beeped causing everyone to look as the scientist jumped back before it shot through the roof and into the distance, "Call it back!" Hank yelled

"No, you fiddling with tech you dont understand would've activated the self destruct sequence."

"Self destruct?" Alex asked

"10x more power than a nuclear warhead." Powerman said before he turned around and began to leave,

"We aren't done here.' Hank called

"Oh, but we are. Fort Rozz, alien criminals, I get it." Powerman said with a dismissive wave, "You tried to attack me with kryptonite to capture me as a show of strength. You failed now you want to act like you own me. You dont, and never will." Powerman said forcing the door open before Martha rushed after him

"Senator Kent!" Hank yelled causing Martha to turn to him as she backed away

"We need his help, and I'm not going to let Earth's greatest defense walk out of here with a foul taste about us because you wish to have a dick measuring contest." Martha glared before she rushed after Powerman

Martha ran to Powerman as he was about to fly off, "Wait!" She yelled diving and wrapping her arms around him as he took off through the air

"Hey!" Naruto yelled in surprise as he flew

Martha hugged herself to him tightly

Moments Later, Rooftop

Martha sighed as she placed a hand to her chest to calm her heart, "New friends, ma?" Naruto asked

"New organizations have been created behind Zod's invasion. I was to handle the meet and greet between you and the DEO. To show we are allies."

"How did they get kryptonite?" Naruto asked

"Lex." Martha said causing Naruto to frown, "He ran tests with the blood samples left by the Kryptonian invasion and discovered just how poisonous they are to Kryptonians."

Naruto sighed, "You think I should work with the DEO?"

"Unless you have a prison capable of holding these people then yes."

"Right now, I don't. The phantom zone portal I used for Zod was a one-off." Naruto frowned, "Fine. I'll give working with them some thought, but I dont trust the green Martian."

"Martian?"

"Hank Henshaw." Naruto said

"He's a Martian?" Martha asked

"A powerful one as well. He almost got through my mental shields." Naruto said frowning, "Be careful."

Martha nodded

Powerman flew Martha back to the DEO base and left,

Naruto's Home

Naruto in plain clothes walked to his front door and frowned seeing an invitation to Lex's presentation tomorrow, with a sigh, he walked into his building and in a blur of lightning sped up to the penthouse just as the phone rung, "Answer." He said causing the call to be picked up, "This is Nathan who is calling?"

'Do you think this is funny?" Harrison Wells voice was heard with a tinge of frustration and anger

"Harrison, I see you got the news." Naruto smirked taking off his leather jacket and rolling up the sleeves of his vneck,

"You cant buy S.T.A.R. Labs!"

"But I did. Your stocks plummeted after your failed Particle Accelerator. I brought all those shares meaning S.T.A.R. Labs is officially Kent Industries property. Dont worry Harry. Kent Industries will do what you failed to do and become a beacon to the people of Central City. Now get back to work saving my cousin's life." Naruto said hanging up

"Everything okay?" Cyn asked walking in as Naruto smiled and hugged her, breathing in her scent,

"Everything is perfect, now that I'm with you." Naruto smiled before he kissed Gun and the two stood in the room for a moment, "You won't believe that days I've had."

"Tell me all about it." Cyn said stepping back and taking Naruto's hand before leading him to the kitchen where he sat at the island

"Well, I checked out your plane, and it wasnt an accident. Fragments of a Valeronian bomb was found on the plane."

"Valeronian?" Cyn asked making Naruto a plate

"Valeronians are a warlike race utilizing advanced weaponry, it's typical of their race to choose death over capture. It is why only one has ever been apprehended." Gideon said

"Really by who?" Cyn asked

"By Commander Nar." Gideon said

"Gideon we have been over this, I was mever a commander.'

"You held the respect of your men, you led them fearlessly and taught them equally. Because you resigned from the Sagitari before your promotion doesn't make you anything less than a Commander." Gideon said as Naruto sighed

"Like she said, the Valeronian, his name is Vartox."

"So he has an ax to grind with you."

"Funny You put it that way, seeing as his main weapon is an ax." Naruto said with a sigh before Gun walked over with the plates and sat down beside him and he told her about meeting the DEO

Next Day, LexCorp Bunker

Naruto sighed in annoyance as he was with Cyn at Lex's presentation, Cyn seeing his bored expression elbowed him in the ribs getting his attention, "What's wrong?"

"Trapped in a room filled with snobbish trust fund brats who dont give a crap about making the world better for the future generations. Everyone here is all about making money." Naruto said as a man with an earpiece in his ear looked over to him

"Well, they say money makes the world go round.' Cyn said

"And what good will that money be when all the humans do is profit off was, and sickness." Naruto said before he nodded to a man across the room, "Justin Hammer, sells faulty weaponry for exorbitant prices."

Looking to another man sipping champagne, he continued, "Harold Meachum. Twelve million people were infected with leishmaniasis in roughly 98 countries. He manufactured a pill to suppress the symptoms. Then proceeded to sell for $50 per dosage."

"Wow." Cyn said watching as Harold glared at Naruto

"He hates me because in a day Kent Industries cured the disease and gave it out to all of those infected for free." Naruto said before he looked to am elder gentlemen, "Obidiah Stane, guardian of the deceased Tony Stark, rumor has it Tony discovered Stane was selling weapons under the table and killed him for it. No one can prove anything."

"What about him?" Cyn asked looking to the man with the earpiece as he talked with his date(s)

"Bruce Wayne. He's fake." Naruto said causing Cyn to raise an eyebrow, "The way he walks tells me he's trained for combat, he makes it look like he's relaxed and enjoy the company of his ballerinas but in reality, this is the last place he wants to be. He has a lot of anger and guilt in him, like all orphans."

Bruce looked to Naruto who was looking at Cyn as the man had heard everything he said thanks to his listening device before he walked off

"Why are we here again?" Naruto asked Cyn

"Lex did right by Chloe. He's been trying to make amends and the least you can do is meet him halfway."

"Giving Kryptonite to the government doesn't inspire confidence that this is a good thing. What do I look like befriending someone who is giving out a substance designed to poison Kryptonians?"

"He doesn't know your Powerman."

"And staying away from him ensures he'll never find out." Naruto frowned

Suddenly Lex arrived in a helicopter getting everyone's attention, he walked to the stage and grabbed a glass of champagne, "Hello, Id like to thank you all for coming. The last couple of months had seen a big change to this little blue marble we call home. Aliens came down and would've laid waste to us if not for the efforts of Powerman. I dont know about you guys but I'm not comfortable being indebted to something like that. The invasion opened my eyes that our technology and weapons are outdated by alien standards so its time to think bigger and better so that if aliens come knocking at our door again we can kill them all with having to rely on one of them. This is but the first step to this.'

Lex motioned to a large battle suit, "Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you to the Lexi-Skel Suit 5000. The Lexo-Skel is armed with a rotary cannon, a very large anti-armor cannon, and anti-tank missile launchers. Jet packs mounted on the suit enabled it to make long, rocket-assisted jumps, though it is not capable of true flight. It is heavily armored, surviving several shots from tanks and a giant explosion. It also has a flamethrower, a wrist-mounted missile launcher, and the capability of producing an electric field around itself. This is the first step into advance weaponry, this suit gives one man the fighting potential of an entire armored division."

Naruto sighed before he motioned for Cyn to leave with him and the two slipped out the bunker and headed to his 2015 Ferrari 458 Speciale before they left and while on the way down the street 3 high-tech hoverbikes flew passed them, causing Naruto to narrow his eyes

"Go." Cyn said crawling over into his lap and taking the wheel as he created a clone to sit in the passenger seat and phased through the car and in a blits of lightning ran to see Lois about to be crushed as the men on the hovercraft stole the Lexi-Skel

Powerman rushed in and picked up Lois in a bridle carry just as the piece of wall collapsed, putting her down Powerman flew through the hole after the thieves

"Oh shit! It's him!" One of the thieves said

"Cover me!' The head thief with the Lexi-Skel ordered as he ascended into the clouds

The two hoverbikes turned and began to fire on Powerman who blinked in and out of sight before he appeared about one and punched through the hull before the thief ejected but Powerman caught the seat and tossed him through the second hoverbike taking the front half off before Naruto flew and grabbed the parachute and wrapped the two men in it and dropped them in front of the precinct before he rocketed back into the air looking around before he saw the other hoverbike and shot for him

The leader seeing Powerman approaching cursed, and deployed flairs, with a spin Naruto went around the flairs and continued to cut the distance between him and the man short before a boot to his back sent him flying down to an island

The thief looked on in shock as a man floated in midair looking at the island where Naruto crashed before he glanced at him with red eyes ready to fire of blasts of heat vision and quickly he rode away

With Naruto

Naruto grunted as he got to his knee and rotated his arm as he stood up in the middle of the crater he created before he looked up and his eyes widened, "K-Kem?" He asked pulling his facemask down

"Been a while Nar." Kem smirked

Kem was the best friend of Naruto, even though Kem was a rankless, the lowest in Krypton's social hierarchy before Naruto befriended him and Kushina got him into the military guild, and Naruto's parents were planning to name him a member of their house before Kem 'died'

"No, no, no, you're dead." Naruto said shaking his head

"Is that what they told you?" Kem smirked

"Daxamite assassins gunning for me killed You, Lyta, and Nyssa.' Naruto said causing Kem to raise an eyebrow

"We were sent to Fort Rozz for reporting our findings that Krypton was in danger of exploding to Zor-El and Alura if we kept depleting energy from our core. We were sentenced to Fort Rozz for speaking blasphemy."

"No." Naruto whispered shaking his head

"You and your parents abandoned us Nar. The first mission is to protect Kryptonian life. You've sided with the humans against Zod but Im willing to chalk that up to a personal vendetta since you loathe that prick. But I'll ask you this once and if you say anything besides the answer I want to hear, you will be considered an enemy. Will you side with us?"

"Like I told Zod, I dont do genocide. Kryptonians and humans can coexist." Naruto said

' Why would we want to coexist with a race of people who can't even get over something as simple as skin color?" Kem asked causing Naruto to nod understanding that

"There are some good people here, just like Krypton wasnt all sunshine and rainbows." Naruto said

"That why we will make a new Krypton. One that orbits a yellow sun, a society of prosperity. Unfortunately, brother, you won't be apart of it."

Naruto turned and elbowed Vartox who was behind him in mid-swing. Grunting as he fell Vartox, and looked up to see Naruto duck a blast of heat vision from Kem before he punched Naruto in the face

Naruto grunted as he went flying into the air before his ankle was grabbed and he was slammed into the ground.

Vartox yelled as he brought his ax down on Naruto but the blonde grabbed the handle holding it at bay before he ate a punch from Kem causing blood to fly from his lips as he was punched in the torso and ate another punch to the face

Frustrated Naruto with his free hand grabbed Kem's shirt and pushed him to the side sending him through a few trees before he looked to Vartox and used his heat vision on the ax causing it to explode

Vartox went flying back as Naruto got to his feet and spun around the charging Kem and grabbed his ankle before flinging him into Vartox

The two tumbled away as Naruto rolled his neck as he made his way toward them. Kem got up and looked at Naruto before they both shot forward and suddenly Kem tossed Vartox at Naruto who slammed a Rasengan into his face causing his head to explode before Kem appeared and punched Naruto in the gut causing him to kneel over before a punch to the jaw sent him to the dirt

Kicking his legs Naruto spun and swept Kem off his feet and landed on his own before he punched Kem in the ribs sending him back

Flying after him Naruto punched Kem again, before Kem three a hook but Naruto ducked it and grabbed Kem's head and slammed his knee into his face,

Growling Kem tried his heat vision but Naruto spun beneath the rays of fire and struck hard with an uppercut before 50 punches at super speed to Kem's torso caused him to hack up blood before a right cross to the face sent him flying off the island

Kem grunted as he opened his eyes to see Naruto's fist slam into his face again sending him deep beneath the ocean,

Naruto pursued Kem and was relentless with his attacks as he pummeled Kem to the ocean floor before he flipped them around before Kem actually struck the ocean floor and delivered a full-powered punch that sent Kem rocketing out of the ocean into the air

In a flash of lightning, Naruto reappeared and with a growl stomped on Kem sending him to the island, grabbing Kem by his collar he lifted him up, "Had enough?"

"You haven't changed at all. Still ferocious in battle." Kem smirked before he yelled causing Naruto to shout in pain as he clutched his ears that began to bleed from his ruptured eardrums

Beams of heat vision slammed into Naruto sending him to the ground and hid his form from view, Kem growled in exertion as he turned up the intensity of his heat vision before Naruto appeared behind him having phased through the attack underground, and a suplex sent Kem crashing on his head and quickly he scrambled up but a boot to the face sent him flying through a mountain

Naruto took off after Kem, tears in his eyes as he fought his brother with the intent to kill like he did all his enemies, even though every blow he landed felt like a stab to his heart

Kem spat blood as he growled and reached into his chainmail suit and removed a pill that he swallowed and he groaned in distaste before he saw Naruto approaching and he caught Naruto's punch causing a shockwave to destroy the mountain

Naruto put up his hands in an x pattern as Kem attacked him with three jabs sending him flying back before Kem tackled him through a tree into the hard rock of a mountain,

Grasping Naruto's left shoulder, Kem punched him in the gut, then the face, and tried again but Naruto ducked and got from between Kem and the mountain, and once Kem turned around, 3 quick jabs to the man's gut cracked the wall

Naruto gave two more jabs to Kem's torso, before a right hook to the head caused Kem to shout, as the right hook struck again before the left sent him reeling, Naruto saw the sloppy hook coming and sped back slightly out of reach, and sped forward slamming his shoulder into Kem sending him flying through the mountain

Kem burst from the mountain. Naruto grunted as he was punched in the jaw before he went flying away but his leg was grabbed and with a twirl, he was sent flying into the air with Kem growling as he pursued Naruto who slammed into the ground and skidded across the ocean before he pushed off the water and met Kem halfway

Naruto ducked a hook and fired off his heat vision but Kem powered through it and punched him into the ground but a log landed instead of Naruto who reappeared and punched Kem in the face

Slamming into the ground Kem tried to get up but Naruto grabbed his face and dragged his head through the ground before Naruto grunted while shaking his burning hands as Kem fired off his heat vision,

Dodging a right cross, Naruto kicked Kem away sending him into a mountain, but Kem appeared from the top of the mountain and tried to strike Naruto with a hammer fist but Naruto in a trail of lightning ran around Kem and punched him in the jaw,

Frustrated Kem tried to land a punch but Naruto ran around him in a circle and gave an uppercut that sent Kem into the air,

A capsule fell from Kem's suit that Naruto grabbed as he was in pursuit of Kem before he began to punch him repeatedly before flying around him and calling upon a Lightning Blade, "Sorry." Naruto said before he went to kill Kem but beams of heat vision slammed into him as Kem was grabbed while Naruto was slammed into the ground

The heat vision let up to reveal Naruto with a shield of lightning around him that came down, and his eyes widened seeing 2 of the Kryptonians out of the 8 that came to save Kem,

"You've truly have fallen far, Nar. To think you would've been Primus, one day."

Naruto closed his eyes took a deep breath before he looked up to reveal the cold expression on his face causing the Kryptonians to flinch, "Non. My mother your Primus and my father sent me to Earth to live. It took me a while to accept that Krypton is gone along with my parents but my life on Earth is the gift they gave me. You try to take that from me and harm Earth in any way. I'll kill you." Naruto swore as his chakra exploded around him causing the sky to darken as killer intent washed over them, "Try me and see."

Naruto flew up to their level looking at Lyta and Nyssa for a moment before he lifted up his facemask and shot forward grabbing them and speeding off into the distance

"After him!" Non ordered before 4 Kryptonians pursued him but wouldn't be able to catch up

Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Danakil Desert

Naruto flew over the desert with Lyta, and Nyssa's collars in hand before Lyta grabbed his arm and kicked up her feet while turning her hips sharply to flip so that she was now sitting on his back before she punched his spine

Naruto crashed into a sandhill before he and the girls rolled down but he got to his feet watching as they flew up and looked at him, "Why?" He asked

"Why what?" Nyssa asked

' Why wouldn't you guys get in touch with me soon as you got off Fort Rozz?" Naruto asked

"We thought you were dead." Nyssa said

"But we were wrong, your young still, and with someone else.' Lyta added

"When Krypton exploded the trip through the dimensional void affected me and my body deaged to cope with it. I had to grow up all over again.'

"Meaning you been replaced us." Nyssa said

"Replaced? I've replaced anything! I mourned both of you! You dont know what it's like being told by the High Council that your enemies killed your brother and the women you love with a bomb meant for you!" Naruto yelled his eyes glowing as the two frowned, "I was wasting away during the last years of Krypton because I blamed myself for what happened to you guys.'

"You think your the only one that's had it easy? We were tossed into that Rao forsaken prison because we were pregnant! Those old bastards killed our babies and tossed us in a prison for years." Lyta frowned

"Pregnant." Naruto whispered

'It was meant to be a surprise but Daron found out first." Nyssa said

"Daron and the High Council are dead. Why are you working with Non?'

"Kryptonians are stronger together than apart.' Lyta said

"We always talked about getting away from Krypton. Living our lives the way we wanted, now that Krypton no longer stands in the way, you want to help create a new one?" Naruto asked walking up to them,

"No, we want to see what's so special about Earth."

"Stay with me, I'll show you." Naruto said

'And your girlfriend, Cyn?" Lyta asked

"I love her. She knows about every aspect of my life before Earth, and she supports me. I won't force a relationship between you both and her. I almost killed Kem I can't bring myself to doing the same with you two."

Nyssa and Lyta sighed and placed a hand on Naruto's arms,

Minutes Later, Naruto's Home

Cyn was sitting on the couch with a pen and notebook, for the last 3 months Naruto has given her full access to Gideon, anything she wanted to know and learn was available,

The Dominican woman had taken to learning about Krypton history and the Ootsutsuki clan as well but it that information was scarce since Hashirama and Madara Ootsutsuki were the only full-bloodied members of the clan to settle down on Krypton before and their family lines merged with the union of Naruto's parents.

She also had taken to learn their science and math, whatever she could do to help Naruto, she was willing, a gust of wind caused her to smile as she looked up but frowned seeing Naruto with Nyssa and Lyta,

"Cyn, I'd like you to meet Lyta Zod and Nyssa Vex. Lyta, Nyssa meet this is Cynthia but you can call her Cyn."

Cyn stood up and smiled, "Naruto has told me so much about you both." She said in fluent Kryptonese catching the two by surprise

'You speak Kryptonese?" Nyssa asked

'Naruto and Gideon have been teaching me.' Cyn said

"Cyn could you show them around please. I have to get Lex suit back before it's gone." Naruto wondered getting a nod from Cyn

"Sure." Cyn smiled before with a nod Naruto sped off, "So would you like to eat before taking the tour?"

"Lyta and Nyssa shared a look and nodded before Cyn led them to the kitchen

With Naruto

Naruto flew high above the city, and released a deep sigh, "What a day.' He said to himself before with his hearing he began to search for the thief

"I can think of a few questions."

"Lois?" Naruto asked himself

' I bet." A male voice said before the sound of a gun cocking was heard and Naruto took off pulling up his facemask as he did

Metropolis Harbor

Powerman flew above the Harbor and with his x-ray vision he saw Lois on a Kaznia smuggling ship being held at gunpoint

With a grunt, Naruto flew down and phased through the ship to land in front of Lois with his hand on the thief's gun that he crushed, "I believe we still have a date.' He said

The thief yelled in fear and ran off as Naruto looked to Lois, "Lois, your a real trouble magnet aren't you?"

"Comes with the job." Lois smiled before Powerman picked her up and after a gust of wind she found herself on the docks

Powerman back on the ship looked around for the Lexo-Skel Suit 5000, when said machine burst through a wall trying to take his head off but Powerman ducked and punched through the machine and ripped the thief out of it, "I know you. John Corben, you're a mercenary. Who hired you?"

"I aint telling you shit!" Corben said

Powerman gave an eye smile, "Let's get some fresh air." He said before he rocketed up into the sky

"H-hey! What're you doing?"

"I'm going to show you the world!" Powerman chuckled as he flew into the clouds and above them and gave a refreshed sigh looking at the sun, "Magnificent, dont you think John?"

John was panting as the air was thin,

"Can't breathe John? Well tell me what I want to know and we will head back down before you suffocate.'

"Y-your a hero!"

"And?" Powerman asked with a raised eyebrow

'You can't kill." John gasped

Powerman began to laugh hysterically, "W-who told you that," he asked still laughing and released John to wipe the tears from his eyes, "So funny John, you should've been a comedian."

John was yelling in fear as he fell as he saw Powerman looked down at him but make no move to catch him as he fell through the clouds,

Seeing the ocean coming fast, the still screaming John yelled "It was Lex! Luthor paid me to take the suit! Help me!"

Powerman caught John before he struck the water, "That wasnt so hard was it?" He asked

Powerman flew John to jail before he made a beeline for LexCorp tower,

LexCorp

Lionel looked at Lex with pride, "I'm impressed, Lex. You have become a successful businessman and learned the truth of the world. Power is everything."

"Make mo mistake dad, you still have a long way to go for forgiveness but I will tolerate you until Powerman is no longer breathing." Lex said

"I'll show you that I'm ready to put our past behind us, so we can truly be a family." Lionel nodded

Lex sighed and made to sip his drink, but frowned as he saw Powerman floating outside his window before he and Lionel stood up, "I'm afraid we already ha e a window washer." Lex said

"..."

"Silent treatment, huh? Lex asked before he shrugged, "Well I dont know what You thought you heard out there but I do know what you can prove. Nothing. I know of your little weakness, and I can make sure no one else finds out about your little rock allergy. If your willing to play ball, a being with your abilities would do good for my plans on a global scale. Why don't you float on in and we can talk about it."

Powerman scoffed, "To think Kent believed you were trying to be a good man. I'll be sure to let him know just how rotten you are." He said before turning away, "And word of advice, it would be in your best interest to stay away from kryptonite."

Powerman flew away as unknown to the two of them a man in a Bat themed costume snuck out of LexCorp with a large amount of kryptonite

Later, Naruto's Home

Naruto sighed as he walked into his home and saw Cyn waiting, on the couch, "How was your day?" He asked sitting on the floor and laying his head on her lap as she smiled.
