Chapter 30

Faraway from earth on an abandoned planet, there was a factory inside the core using up all the resources for a particular purpose.

The purpose was the creation of robots and cyborgs for Zor El. He was the survivor from Krypton saved by Brainiac and wished to bring back Krypton to show his brilliance.

In the start he had made excuses that it was for his daughter Kara but now he wouldn't even care about her life.

It was all about his pride that his brother had been the superior one from birth but now by saving the race and bringing them back, he would prove once and for all who was superior.

He was planning to bring them back as Cyborgs using the life of the human race as it matched Kryptonians and downloading the data saved inside the Fortress.

But meeting with H'el he had been enlightened about time travel and got the blue prints from the clone.

Unfortunately the clone was arrogant and got defeated easily while he miscalculated the response of the enemies.

Zor stood tall with his new robotic body since he had his brain downloaded into the system and couldn't die until someone deleted it.

At this moment he was filled with burning rage at what had taken place, everything was so close but his daughter worked with an outsider to stop him.

It was unacceptable but he couldn't see a way to do this directly anymore.

'Too many threats, the only way to win is taking them down alone. But first, this Dreamer needs to go.' Zor was clouded with anger and one target stood out from all of them

Naruto

The person that changed his daughter or she would have listened to his words and agreed to seeing his memories but now he doubted even that would work.

She was a disloyal dog that needed to be put down.

"Weaken them one by one." Zor muttered as he hacked into the system of the Fortress of Solitude to awaken the Eradicator

Eradicator was a Kryptonian weapon made to handle threats to Krypton and Zor had found out that it was inside the Fortress owned by Clark.

It was an A.I with intelligence so Zor gave it the information on the threats around the globe and to eradicate the Golden Dawn team.

Zor made sure that it took them down one by one instead of taking all of them since he would lose another pawn if that happened.

He really needed to take care of this before Brainiac decided to take care of him.

---------------------

Back on earth, Connor decided to meet Clark after the party for a private talk.

"Brother, I need your help." Connor asked as he sat opposite Clark in his apartment

"I am listening"

"I need a power increase since this was the third time I was taken down without any resistance. Even Cassandra has become stronger than me with her powers growing each day as she accepts her lineage. I don't like that I can only watch and do nothing."

Clark could feel the pain in his voice and the frustration as it wasn't alien to him since he had felt similar emotions few years back and trained to fix the problem.

"Relax there is a way and you don't have to feel bad since you are technically just six years old. The only way I can advise you is staying close to the sun for a month atleast if you want to build up some permanent power."

"But the heat would kill me"

"You can borrow my armor for that."

"Really!"

"Of course, you are my little brother."

Connor felt really happy at those words as that armor was a legacy of the House of El and made for Clark.

"Thanks bro, you are the best."

"No problem but you have to be careful as we don't want a repeat of last time. If you feel any pain, you ask Naruto to teleport back home." Clark warned as last time Connor's genetic structure had almost collapsed because of kryptonite and he had tried to handle it alone

"When are you going to let that go? I know I was dumb and a brute okay. I have learned my lesson."

"Also don't forget to talk with your fiancée since you need to at least stay away for a month."

"What about food?"

"Don't worry you won't need it when you are taking in the energy. It's just your human programming messing with you."

"So you don't need to eat?"

"I eat because I like it not because I need it."

"Great guess I won't be starving myself for power."

"But you will enduring the heat and the pain from the large amount of energy gathering inside your body."

"Okay"

"Okay, now get out since I have Lois coming soon."

"Why do you insist on a human woman?"

"Let's not go there because you might end up crying by the end."

"I doubt that and I would say that Diana suits you better." Connor said as he flew through the window leaving Clark to think about his words

Really the relationship wasn't going well, it feels like he is just afraid to move on instead of actually loving Lois.

He has to be always careful when they are having an intimate moment, meaning he can never allow a lapse of control. It makes it feel like a chore instead of a loving moment and of course because he is being so careful, it leaves his partner unsatisfied.

Sometimes these powers were a curse and love really wasn't logical.

He fell in love with a woman that could never follow through this journey because of her nature.

She loved him but even he could see that Lois was tired of this difficult relationship. She just didn't want to hurt him so awaited his words.

'Guess I am being selfish.' Clark thought as the only way to fix the problem was to use the golden Kryptonite and strip his natural powers or let her go

'But what do I do after that? Letting her go means I don't have any goal left in life other crime fighting. I seriously haven't thought about my life for a long time, always just going with the flow. Outside of crime fighting, what do I really have?'

"Hey Clark, I hope I am not disturbing you."

Clark looked up to see Naruto entered through the window, "What are you doing here?"

"It's a funny case of eating what was not mine so I need to a place to hide and rest until Kara calm's down."

Clark stared at him.

"Okay, I kind of messed with her room so she wanted to hang me over a volcano in retaliation."

"Do you really enjoy playing around like that? I thought you would become serious because of your goal."

"Why should I? I want people to love each other and have fun not become cold and subdued. Where did that question come from?"

Clark wouldn't have shared such things with anyone but Naruto had showed that he was good with people and giving out good advice.

Even if he got nothing, he could at least get it out of his system before it developed into an issue.

"I am having relationship problems. I am unsure if I love Lois anymore or if she loves me."

Naruto took a seat as he heard the words. These things weren't rare anymore since he had handled these issues many times among friends or even when talking to the public.

"Let me say that this is something between the two of you and not for anyone else to decide because Lois is a good woman. She has compromised for you just like you have compromised for her.

Don't let other people's opinion cloud your heart and let it beat freely. I have noticed that you control yourself too much. Let it go, let your mind and heart free, and only then will you feel all these problems lessen.

You have been blessed with talent then use it for yourself and what if she is human, does it matter? Did you love her because you wanted sex? Obviously not, sex is not love but lust.

Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you've never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you.

When something wonderful happens, you can't wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around.

You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it's like being young again.

Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn't exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day's work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there's no need for continuous conversation, but you find you're quite content in just having them nearby.

Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.

You open your heart knowing that there's a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that's so real it scares you.

You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.��� Naruto bared his heart and used all his thought process to answer

"Finally, I will just say this. Put it all out on the table and discuss with Lois."

"How do you know so much about this when you have no experience?"

"Because I have always wished for it and I learnt it from someone that was a crazy lover. My master loved one woman for all his life and never gave another a chance in his heart. He taught me many things and respecting the sacredness of love was one of the themes explored so he had me work as priest at weddings where I got to see so much that all my misconceptions were finally cleared." Naruto replied with a smile remembering the fun times with Jiraiya

"He sounds like a good teacher from what you have said. You really love him."

"Of course and I intend to bring him back. Now I will be going back before Kara decides to burn my ramen." Naruto threw something at him before teleporting

Clark caught it and saw that it was jewellery set along with some flowers that appeared on touch.

Shaking his head, Clark opened the door to see Lois awkwardly standing outside but he didn't need any more words as he hugged her and took her inside.

------------

Getting back to the base, Naruto found himself caught by Kara.

"So how was it?"

"I think it went well. Clark just needed someone to lay out what he has been feeling. It's unfortunate but being around heroes has this risk."

"Good but you are coming with me now."

"I thought you had a big heart woman."

"It's big so you are cleaning it up."

"Ughh my brain it trembles."

"Stop overreacting" Kara hit his chest lightly and dragged him to her room to clean up as he had ended up making a mess by throwing a paintball inside by mistake

But mostly it was because she wanted to do something with him and show him her room since he had already visited Raven's room.

Before they could reach the room, Veritas finally seems to have finished with her place and she caught his hand.

"I am still waiting for my dance, Naruto. I hope you don't mind Kara." Veritas looked at Naruto before giving Kara a smile

"I will meet you after I am done."

"You really need to be straight with people or you will give them false hope."

"I am not giving up just because of words. I find Naruto very fun and nice to be around so unless that stops being a fact, I guess you could say I am enchanted by him." Veritas replied as she dragged him to the hall while the music started playing

Sexy Lady On The Floor, Keeps You Coming Back For More

He stole the heart

He charmed me with his magic

I remain neither awake nor asleep, I remain unaware of things

In his memories, in his dreams

My heart is dancing

Neither he knows, nor it's his fault (that he doesn't know)

I am dying in his love, may someone go and tell him

Neither he knows, nor it's his fault

I am dying in his love, may someone go and tell him

Slowly in my faithfulness for him, sometimes in his wait

Only in his love

My heart is dancing

Kara could only face palm at her choice of music. How much was she going to annoy them with this act?

A.N Hope you enjoyed and command

It will start on focusing on real threats now.
