Retribution

Prologue

So many things had gone wrong in Clark's life, many of them my fault, but I did not care. I would take control sooner or later, but until that time came, I would wait.

Freshmen Year

Clark knew about most of his powers, and he had an uncontrollable urge to save people who were in danger. He saved my friends countless amounts of time from the so called "meteor freaks." But what did he get in return? Questions, endless amounts of questions of how, why, where did he come from… no one ever just said thanks and let it drop at that, they all had to know who he was, where he came from, how he did something, especially one person, Chloe Sullivan, his so called best friend. I could understand it to a point, her being a journalist, it made sense, but even after he asked her to stop, she continued on, some friend, huh? Then the twister came, this is when Clark came to realize no matter where he went, or what he did, bad things would happen to those around him.

Sophomore Year

Once again, Clark was the hero saving everyone from "meteor freaks" and keeping me and his past hidden away from the public eye. But, something happened this year, he finally told someone about himself, his best friend Pete Ross. At first he thought he had ruined my friendship, but it turned out it made them better friends, and it gave him someone he could actually be truthful to. This year, our father finally contacted us through our ship. Jor-El was his name, and he told us a little about where we came from, a planet called Krypton, which was destroyed, and I was sent here to rule. I always thought he meant for me to conquer this world, but later I realized he wanted me to protect them. But, I did not know this then, so when he told us we had to leave or everyone Clark cared for would be hurt, Clark decided then and there he wasn't leaving, little did I know that he was telling the truth. The only thing was, he didn't hurt them… I did. I decided to destroy the ship, using a kryptonite key that I stole from none other than, Lionel Luthor. The ship exploded, but it left a wake of destruction behind it. My mother had been hurt and lost the baby, his father didn't want to talk to him, his relationship with Lana was ruined… so we left, heading to metropolis, but not as Clark, as me, Kal, with a little help from a red kryptonite ring.

While I was in Metropolis I was free, I was well known, and no one asked me any questions. I had everything I ever wanted, freedom, money, and most of all acceptance. It was great, until Chloe found me… I told her to never tell anyone where I was, but I knew she would eventually. And surprise, surprise, Lana Lang showed up at my door, I wonder how she knew where I was… She told me that Clark's parents loved me, and that she loved me, but at that time I didn't care, why would I? I wasn't Clark, and I had everything I wanted at my disposal, but Clark's past kept rearing its ugly head. Not long after Lana left, Clark's "dad" showed up, and apparently he had a deal with Jor-El, to bring Clark home. After we fought, I finally went back to being Clark, the weak and mild-mannered farm boy from Kansas. Jonathan Kent, would pay for mettling in affairs he had no right to mettle in.

Junior Year

I never forgave my father for bringing me back, but I would bide my time until I was ready to leave again. My alter ego, Clark, went back to saving people from the "meteor freaks" while I waited. He pined over the same girl he had been pining over for years, Lana. I never understood why, she was to goody goody for my liking. Mid year, I met this beautiful girl during a boring field trip to LuthorCorp, he named was Alicia Baker. I instantly knew there was something there, especially after we learned of her powers and she learned of mine, we had finally met a girl I could truly be with, even if she was slightly out of her mind. But, Clark, he only had eyes for Lana… he had my only love sent to a mental institution. I never forgave him for that. Towards the end of the year a girl, named Kara showed up at the house, naked. Imagine my surprise when a beautiful, completely naked woman shows up at the door, and knew my name. She said she was from Krypton as well, and I believed her, as did Clark, but it might have just been because we were lonely and wanted to be with someone who would accept us for who we really were… like Alicia… Clark would pay for what he did to her. Kara told Clark that all his friends would leave or betray him… and lo and behold, they did. First it was Pete… who left because he couldn't keep our secret anymore… then Lana, she was leaving for Paris, I knew it was because Clark never let her in. Chloe had betrayed him to Lionel. What Kara said had come true, and we both knew we had to go with her. So off we went to visit Jor-El, where Clark was reborn, and I was finally out.

Senior year of high school, I was back inside of Clark… and I hated it. I was finally free… but Martha Kent had to intervene and use black kryptonite, she would pay. So I bided my time, waiting for the right moment to come that I would once again take control of Clark, and this time it would be for good. I found my time, when a certain woman came back into our lives, and her name was Alicia. I began to give Clark thoughts he didn't have before, thoughts of Alicia, and that he loved her. She said she was cured, and I believed her, but Clark had to check, and when he found out she was, I began to take control. She said she wanted to go somewhere that people didn't know her, and I said yes, but Clark, who still was in control said no. He would pay for that, but my love was smart and I knew she would find a way, and she did. She gave Clark a present, with red kryptonite in it, bringing me back to the front. I was back and I had Alicia, and I asked her to marry me… and she said yes. That is where we are today.
