France, 1604

A woman tried to open a lock that kept her and 2 other women trapped in a carriage, "It won't open." She said looking to the other panicking woman as the other was composed with her red cloak covering her face

"We must escape before we reach the pyres. Isabelle…" woman2 said

The woman in the cloak, Isabelle, replied unconcerned, "They've taken the book and with it our powers. What would you have me do?"

"Anything. We're running out of time." Woman1 said

"Time is the one thing we do have. If we fall this night, I promise you, we will rise again to finish our quest." Isabelle assured

A crowd with torches and pitchforks stood in front of 3 pyres, all yelling for the death of the 3 women calling them witches, the 2 women screamed in fear as the carriage was unlocked amd they were dragged out of the it into the crowd Isabelle's cloak was removed revealing a woman that looked like a perfect doppelganger of Lana Lang,

The women were dragged to the pyres and tied to them, as Isabelle was held back, as a man walked over, "Magistrate Wilkins. Come to enjoy your handiwork?" She asked only to be backhanded by Wilkins

"Tell me the three stones of power, Countess. You may yet escape the pyre's flames." Magistrate Wilkins said

"In my book, there's a page marked." Isabelle said and quickly Wilkins presented the book to her as he found the page where the mark of Transference was

"What means this?" Wilkins asked

"It means that the stones of power shall be mine, and once I possess them, you shall tremble at my feet and never again persecute my kind." Isabelle said before she spat blood onto the page, "Anima Renito."

The Mark of Transference appeared on the small of Isabelle's back as she began to laugh while Wilkins glared at her, "Demon. Join your confederates."

Isabelle continued to laugh as she was dragged away, as her friends pleaded for mercy, "Madeline Evans, Briana Withridge, Countess Marguerite Isabelle Theroux... You have been found guilty of committing the darkest art -witchcraft. For this affront against God, I hereby condemn you to burn in the fires of Hell in which you so eagerly seek communion." Wilkins said

"You think this ends with a lick of flame? I sleep but a while... and when the time is appointed, my heir will awaken me, and I will have vengeance! Heh heh heh heh!" Isabelle laughed before the pyers were set aflame

Present Day, Lana's Apartment

Lana was opening a box as her boyfriend sat across from her, "So you found it on eBay?"

"Nate got it from this old guy in Nice who was planning on auctioning it off."

"Why would he give this to you?" Jason asked

"I told him about the tattoo, he thought it would be best to investigate everything about the Countess." Lana said opening the box and she smiled, "Looks like he was right, the spellbook of Countess Isabelle Marguerite Theroux. And look it has the same symbols in the cave."

"Yeah... maybe it will help explain what happened in Paris when you touched Isabelle's tomb., About the tattoo and the missing 12 hours…" Jason said

"Mm, so, uh, how's your Latin?" Lana asked as she looked through the book

"About as good as my Italian, which... I don't speak." Jason said

Lana sighed as she turned into a page where Isobel's blood-splattered stained amd the fire in the fireplace went out, "I'll get it."

Lana ignored Jason as he got up to tend to the fire as she saw the Mark of Transference, "Oh, my God."

"What?" Jason asked

"This is the symbol from Isabelle's tomb." Lana said as she touched it before it glowed purple along with her tattoo causing her to gasp as her eyes glowed purple as the fire ignited causing Jason to jump back

The glow in Lana's eyes diminished as she smiled, as Jason got up, "You okay?" He asked

"Never been better." Isabelle said now in possession of her heiress, "I'm going to look through this, I'll call you later.'

"Um, okay.' Jason said watching as his girlfriend left not seeing the reflection of Isabelle in her red cloak as Lana passed by the mirror

Morning, Naruto's Home

Grunting was heard as Naruto trained Cyn, in hand to hand combat, "That capsule you got from Kem. What is it?" She asked throwing a jab

"It houses, 5-U-93-R a Kryptonian nanotech drug." Naruto said parrying her punch and leaning away from her kick

"Seriously?" Cyn asked

"Names aren't really a strong suit amongst Kryptonians. The pills are performance enhancers that Kem developed after my mom took the guild to a planet with a yellow sun and taught them to use their powers. Kem thought it would be best to have that power 24/7. When taken, the drug increases the tensile strength of bone and tissue structures by a factor of several thousand percent, giving an average non-powered person superhuman strength and durability to the level of a full-powered Kryptonian. Effects are almost instantaneous after the pill is swallowed."

"Bet those were a hit with your people.'

"For a time they were until a Nobel partaking in a fight club took to many and went into cardiac arrest. They were banned but members of the military guild grew addicted and continued to use them. Including Kem." Naruto frowned before he gave a sigh, "How are you doing with our new tenants?"

"They still love you." Cyn said right off the bat as Naruto raised an eyebrow, watching as she walked up to him amd placed her taped fist to his chest, "How do you feel?"

"I'm fine.' Naruto said walking over to a table

"I've been learning about your biology. The yellow sun radiation, the speed force, and the chakra from your Ootsutsuki genes, what it's doing to you."

"..." Naruto frowned

"Your body is being supercharged and if you dont find a way to continually burn off that excess energy it will poison you and you can explode. Literally."

Naruto sighed running a hand through his hair

"But you knew that.' Cyn realized as he kept his back to her

"Its called Supernova." Naruto said turning to her, "I constantly absorb radiation, have been since I got here. My powers fully developed but I kept absorbing radiation and while I've grown stronger the excess energy needed to be burned off, working out, and sex helps. Though I calmed down on the sex since I got into a committed relationship with you. Alternating between my Chakra, Speed Force and Kryptonian abilities helps me keep it contained enough. Like I said before, I'm fine."

Cyn looked at Naruto in shock as he kissed her cheek and left or tried as she got in his way, "Hey! Are you telling me that deciding to commit to me could prove fatal to you?"

"Cyn, I have it under control. Dont worry about it." Naruto said before he left as Cyn watched him go frowning

Meanwhile

An armored truck sped around a corner with a squad car pursuing it, a masked gunman stood up out of the hatch in the roof and opened fire on the car

The cop ducked as a bullet pierced through the windshield causing the squad car to swerve onto the sidewalk and slam into a fire hydrant, another squad car arrived and went after the truck

The gunman climbed back down amd extended a hand to his partner and received a canister of tear gas before he pulled the pin and tossed it into the street

The second squad car rounded the corner and saw the tear has blocked his vision and quickly slammed on the breaks causing the following squad car to slam into him

Powerman flew overhead amd saw the smoke before he paused, "Yea, we lost them on 3rd and Chumage, they are headed for the warehouse district."

Powerman sighed and flew away

Warehouse

The armored truck pulled into a warehouse, and immediately the 4 criminals climbed out celebrating as they took off their masks, "We scored big! Forget Powerman!"

"Hello, boys." The four men stopped celebrating and looked to see a man bouncing a green ball in hand with a creepy smiling mask on his face, "I have a message for your boss, Mr. Mannheim. Tell him the Toyman is calling a timeout on his little games, and dont be tardy."

Toyman dropped the ball and backed up into the shadows, "Grab Pinocchio before he escapes!" A man said

The four rushed after Toyman not noticing that the ball was steadily bouncing higher, as Toyman looked at them before he walked through the door and closed it

The four men tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge before the ball hit a rafter and bounced right into one of the men knocking him to the ground,

Looking to the ball they watched in horror as it began to ricochet off the ground in walls making large craters where ever it hit, "Back in the car!"

The men ran to the car dodging the ball that began to get faster and strike with more force before they found themselves huddled in the car trying to wait for the ball to stop bouncing

Powerman flew through the ceiling and landed raising an eyebrow at the ball that he caught with one hand, walking forward he tapped on the window causing the criminals to look at him as he waved, "Let's take a ride." He said

Grabbing the truck, Powerman flew out of the warehouse toward the precinct

Lana's Apartment

Isabelle was preparing something when there was a knock at the door causing her to sigh in annoyance before she hid her work the proceeded to open the door and her eyes widened seeing Naruto there, "Hey Lana." He said walking in and kissing her cheek

Isabelle in a daze looked at Naruto as he walked into the apartment pacing not paying attention to anything he was saying more focused on the well of power she was sensing from him,

"Cyn found out that if I dont burn through my energy I could explode." Naruto said as he paced, "Lyta and Nyssa took her shopping to get her mind off of it but I know this isn't going to go away. I wanted things to be normal, you know. One girl, like a normal human. I really care about her I was even willing to not go through with rebuilding Kryptonians seeing as there is a lot of them still running around,"

Naruto continued to rant as Isabelle with some scissors walked up to him and cut his hair or tried to as the scissors snapped, "Aye!" Naruto yelled backing up clutching his hair, "What're you doing?"

"I needed a lock of your hair for a scrapbook I'm making." Isabelle said

"Well all you had to do was ask.' Naruto said

"Well, where is the fun in that?" Isabelle asked before she held up the scissors, "What happened to these?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow, "Something that always happens when you fail to catch me by surprise. Here.' He said picking the lock of hair and handing it to her

"Thanks.'

"Yeah, see you later." Naruto said before he flashed away causing Isabelle to gasp in surprise and awe

Examining the lock of hair she saw it wasnt that of a virgin but the power flowing through it was enough that she didn't need the hair of 2 virgins any longer before she got a call,

With Naruto

Naruto sped through the city when he heard an explosion amd immediately headed there to see toy planes flying after a man and shooting at him, as Lois was huddled behind a bench, "Of course she's here." He said as his Powerman suit appeared on his body before with wind chakra cloaking his hands he sliced through the planes amd paused beside the stuck Mannheim grabbing his ankle he snatched him out and dropped him, "You okay?"

"Y-yeah." Mannheim said looking up as Powerman looked down at him before he walked off

"Nice save.' Lois said as Powerman frowned

"Thanks. You should learn to protect yourself or stop being in the wrong place at the wrong time by yourself."

"Well with my guardian angel, I'm never alone."

"I'm serious Lois. Putting your life on the line for a story is stupid." Powerman said before he flew off as Lois watched him,

"What's his problem?" Lois asked herself

Later,

Cyn smiled watching as Nyssa and Lyta tried their shakes, it been a week since they moved in and Cyn liked spending time with them, "Dear Rao, how did we not have these on Krypton." Lyta said as Nyssa continued to drink hers

"Glad you like it.' Cyn smiled before she frowned, " So the reason I asked you guys to come out with me is because I found out that, "

"Nar's body is fighting itself." Nyssa said

"You knew?"

"Gree up with him, of course, we knew. It's something his family has dealt with for generations. Kryptonians are beings that absorb radiation from all manner of sins, yellow, blue, even our red sun. Naruto and his family are descendants of the Ootsutsuki clan, a clan of celestial beings that travel dimensions. As a child Naruto's chakra grew at a fast rate and he was unable to sit still at all, it was assumed that he had what you humans call ADHD but after more observation, it was just that his body was storing too much energy to handle, so he began to train and for a time it helped before puberty kicked in."

"What happened?"

"While sleepwalking he almost raped me.' Lyta said causing Cyn to look at her in shock, "We were together at the time and taking our relationship slow since we were only 14. His body and mind wanted him to mate but he held off and when it became too much he lost control. I snapped him out of it and he was horrified and distance himself from me."

"What happened?"

"He moved to another unit in the military and got with a Coluan." Nyssa frowned

"Well got with is a bit of a stretch, Indigo taught him about sex, then we went to war with Daxam and Faora got with him. Faora taught him to use sex as a means of control and he loved it so much that he began to have a lot of it with other Kryptonians, married, single it didn't matter Tamaraneans, Almeracian, Martians, Thanagarians, before she settled him down and their relationship grew stronger with the war forcing them to spend a lot of time together then he quit and went off-world to get some peace of mind. When he returned we reconnected and helped him come to terms with Faora's death before we entered a relationship."

"You didn't feel like you lost your place in his heart?" Cyn asked

"Rao no, Nar loves powerfully and he doesn't play favorites. Anything he does comes from a place of love and he would mever intentionally hurt anyone he loves. Him not telling you is his pride getting in the way, him wanting to find a solution before he burdens you with his troubles." Lyta said

"Something he does a lot.' Nyssa added looking at Cyn, "If you love and trust him then love and trust him."

Meanwhile, Gotham, Wayne Manor

Alfred Pennyworth loyal butler of the Wayne family carried a serving tray up the stairs, toward Bruce's bedroom, balancing the trey on his palm he used his free hand to knock, "Master Bruce, your dinner Sir."

Alfred opened the door and sighed seeing it empty

Moments later

Alfred took the elevator down into the bat cave where he saw Bruce creating weapons out of kryptonite, "Long night, Master Wayne?" Alfred asked placing the tray down as Bruce remained silent focused on his work

Sighing Alfred looked to the Bat computer amd saw on the monitors was Powerman displaying a power from super strength, his speed, his flight, invulnerability, and his elemental powers while the news talked about a statue to be unveiled in his honor

"Master Bruce," Alfred frowned

"He's too dangerous, Alfred.'

"He is not our enemy." Alfred said

'Not today, but what about later on? He has the power to wipe us out and if there is even a one percent chance that we believe he will that is enough for us to go ahead with plans to destroy him.' Bruce said before he turned his back to Alfred and continued working on his kryptonite arsenal

Alfred looked to the monitor of Powerman walking a kid to school and listening to his story, "You're going to war with this man out of jealousy?" He asked causing Bruce to pause

"What do I need to jealous of, I've worked my ass off to become the Batman.'

"And someone comes along stronger than you ever dreamed and you feel slighted because everyone loves him." Alfred said erasing the footage of Powerman using his powers and calling upon the footage of him with children, signing autographs and with celebrities, "You chose to be a symbol of fear to the criminals amd is regarded as a nut by the people of Gotham. Powerman was forced into the light and is regarded as a hero. He allows people to get close, when's the last time you helped a child being bullied, by walking him to school or helping the elderly carry their groceries. Powerman has done nothing but exist and that has drawn your ire. Your mother and father would be ashamed."

Alfred left the cave as Bruce stood frozen and with a shake of his head he reached for another piece of kryptonite but found he had none left so walking to the bat computer he hacked into Lex' systems to find more,

Meanwhile, Naruto's Home

Naruto sighed as he sat in the couch as he flipped through channels, as Nyssa and Lyta arrived with bags of clothes, "Hey, how was shopping?' He asked

"Fun actually." Lyta smiled before they placed her bags down and sat beside him

"See why you like it here. It may be primitive but lots of things that Krypton didn't have exists here." Nyssa said as Naruto smiled at her

"What're you watching?" Lyta asked

"Trying to find something." Naruto said before he frowned at a CNN panel with Powerman in the headliner

Sitting up he watched as they played footage of a rescue he did in Juarez, Mexico. As the burning factory crumbled, Powerman glided down carrying the girl who was trapped in the fire. The people watching took off their hats in reverence. As he knelt before a happy woman to deliver her daughter back, the crowd, many of whom were dressed in Dia de Los Muertos skull make-up, extended their hands in adoration.

"We, as a population on this planet, have been looking for a savior. 90% of people believe in a higher power. And every religion believes in some sort messianic figure. And when this savior character actually comes to Earth, we want to make him abide by our rules? We have to understand that this is a paradigm shift. We have to start thinking beyond politics." filmmaker Vikram Gandhi said as more footage played

As Powerman dragged a stranded boat in the Arctic by its anchor, author Andrew Sullivan is talking one the panel with the caption "Powerman's Actions are Political".

"Are there any moral constraints on this person? We have international law. On this Earth, every act is a political act."

Charlie Rose, who was also in attendance looked to Senator Finch, "Is it really surprising, that the most powerful man in the world should be a figure of controversy?"

"To have an individual engaging in the state-level interventions should give us all pause."

As footage of Powerman saving a spaceship after its rocket exploded on liftoff, blogger Glen Woodburn spoke, "Human beings have a horrible track record of following people with great power, down paths that lead to huge human monstrosities. We have always created icons in our own image. What we've done is we project ourselves on to him. The fact is, maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing."

Physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson spoke next, as In-between footage showed, amidst a flood, the people on the ceiling of a house have painted the Powerman shield. They look into the sky as Powerman floated down nearby, showing he had come to their rescue, "Were talking about a being whose very existence challenges our own sense of priority in the universe. If you go back to Copernicus, where he restored the sun and the center of the known universe, displacing Earth. And you get to Darwinian evolution and you find out, we're not special on this Earth we're just one among other life forms. And now we learned, that we're not even special in the entire universe because there is Powerman. There he is, an alien, among us. We're not alone.

"Is see and Senator Finch, are you, as a United States Senator, personally comfortable saying to a grieving parent, "Powerman could've saved your child, but on principle, we did not want him to act."

"I'm not saying he shouldn't act. I'm saying he shouldn't act unilaterally."

"What are we talking about here then? Must there be a Powerman?"

"There is." Finch said

"Humans." Naruto smirked as Nyssa and Lyta looked at him,

"They're afraid of you."

"So were some Kryptonians." Naruto replied

"You and your parents snuck to Daxim amd took over the planet in 3 days." Lyta said

"Ending a war and saving many lives." Naruto replied as he stood up, "You guys been here long enough to see that not all of them are bad. I made Earth my home and I will protect it."

"And we support that." Nyssa said causing Naruto to look at them, "We love you, Nar."

"We want to live a normal life here, so we have decided to stay as Lyta Lopez." Lyta smiled

"Nyssa Diaz." Nyssa said

"I can find a place for the two of you at Kent Industries."

"Head of Research & Development?" Nyssa asked getting a smirk from Naruto

Meanwhile

Lois and Cyn were hanging out talking about Lois' latest story, when Isabelle arrived with a wine bottle, "Okay guys I got something for us." Isabelle smiled

Lois stood up as she and Cyn looked at Lana who grabbed wine glasses, "I'd like to propose a toast!"

"Why?" Cyn asked taking a glass

"When I was in Paris it was all about work, now that I'm back in the states, with friends it's nice. So a toast, No matter how much time passes, old friends are never forgotten." Isabelle smiled

"I'll drink to that." Cyn smiled

"Cheers." The three said tapping their glasses together before Isabelle placed the glass to her lips but didn't drink as she watched Cyn and Lois gulp down her potion before the fire in the fireplace intensified and with a purple glow Cyn and Lois were possessed,

"Madeline... Briana... Welcome to the 21st century." Isabelle smiled

Madeline looked over Cyn's body before looking to Isabelle, "How did we come to be here?"

"The last spell I cast before Wilkins condemned me to the pyre, my blood entwined with the symbol in the book which called to my heir. And when she touched it, I gained possession of her body and brought you back." Isabelle said

"I'm gorgeous. Look at these. Ha!" Madeline said squeezing Lois' 36 DDD breasts

"So am I, these hips!" Briana smiled slapping Cyn's ass

"Yes. They're very nice."

"The book. Do you have it?" Madeline asked smiling

Isabelle reached into Lana's bag, and pulled out her spellbook, "It is ours once again. And with it, our magics. Now we may continue our quest for the stones -"

"Oh. Uh...is that the same quest that got us burned at the stake?" Madeline asked

"That was not pleasant." Briana said

"A small toll to travel the road of ultimate power. You have your host's memories. Use them to navigate this world and help us to seize power." Isabelle replied before they saw the CNN panel on Powerman as footage of his rescues played, "It is as it was foretold, God will descend upon the world and I will be his Queen." Isabelle said smirking before there was a knock at the door

Isabelle opened the door and found a box that she picked up, "What is it?" Madeline asked watching as Isabelle opened the box to reveal a princess doll

"What is this?" Briana asked before the doll moved and its wand sprayed a golden mist that caused the three witches to frown before Isabelle tossed the doll into the flames and lifted her hand and clenched it into a fist before Toyman came flying through the door grasping at his throat as he was suspended in midair

"So you like to play. I have a game its called magical puppet." Isabelle said before she muttered a spell and Toyman stopped thrashing

"How may I be of service, mistress.' Toyman said

"Powerman, need his attention." Isabelle said

"I shall gain it for you." Toyman said

Later, Kent Industries

Naruto was at his office drawing up contracts for Lyta and Nyssa when Gideon got his attention, "The Batman is pursuing mercenaries en route to LexCorp with kryptonite." Gideon said causing Naruto to frown before he sped off

Metropolis Docks

Powerman arrived to see Batman drive his car throughout a building into a truck with the rig destroyed and men with rocket launchers in the back

Powerman sped beneath the car and grabbed the two before taking them to safety and slammed them into a wall outside the Metropolis precinct, "Check Interpols most wanted, thanks bye.' He said before speeding off

Batman grunted as he shot his way out of a boat his car was stuck beneath before he drove after the truck and drifted around a corner to see Powerman walking out of the destroyed truck before he gunned the gas to slam into Powerman who put his foot up and the Batmobile dented from a head-on collision as Powerman didn't move from the car slamming into his foot,

Batman groaned as his sensors were going off before the roof was ripped off and he stood up to look at Powerman who raised an eyebrow, "Bruce Wayne? Wow." Powerman chuckled as Bruce glared, "So your way of making Gotham a better place was to dress up as a bat with your underwear on the outside to beat the shit out of criminals and not create more job opportunities or be more lenient in hiring criminals of circumstance so that they do go back to the life of crime they had to rely on."

Batman glared at Powerman who grew serious, "That was quite the violent car chase you just had, so I'll say this a politely as I could. Whatever you do in Gotham won't happen here so drive back across the river. There's nothing here for you." Powerman turned to leave

"Hey." Batman called causing Powerman to look at him, "Do you bleed?"

Powerman raised an eyebrow before in a blur he punched Batman in the gut causing Bruce to fold over with a wheeze as his eyes lost focus before he began to hack up blood and bile

"You mean like that?" Powerman asked looking down at the panting Batman, "Go back to Gotham, Bruce. Won't say it again.'

Powerman flew away as Batman glared up after him

Powerman dropped off all the mercenaries to the police some were hurt badly and whimpering about Batman, "Powerman, we can use your help with something."

"Lay it on me." Powerman said

"Mannheim has been kidnapped, the Toyman seems to be involved."

"I'm on it." Powerman said before he flew off high into the sky above the city before he began to listen

"You just made the biggest mistake of your life you little freak!" He heard before he sped toward the warehouse district and burst through the ceiling to see Mannheim strung up with you soldiers aiming actual rocket launchers at him while Toyman had a remote control in hand before Powerman snatched it while a chop to the back of his head knocked him out

Powerman was about to go to Mannheim but a large pipe flew at him and sent him flying out of the warehouse

With a grunt, Powerman pushed it off of him before he looked behind him and his eyes widened seeing Cyn, Lana, and Lois dressed in all black, "Cyn, Lana, Lois? You guys okay?"

"You're familiar with my heir? This makes it all the sweeter.' Isabelle said

"Heir?" Powerman asked before he loomed at the three and his eyes widened before he frowned, "Isabelle Thorough."

"Thoreaux." Isabelle corrected

"Whatever. What have you done to them?" Powerman asked before he saw the spellbook, "That blood splatter on the Mark of Transcendence was yours."

"Smart boy." Isabelle said

"Yes, meaning if it were to be destroyed they go back to normal." Powerman said his eyes red before he looked to the book as Isabelle and the witches eyes widened, heat vision struck the book that glowed purple before with a white flash sent the three flying away

Blinking the spots away from his vision, Powerman walked over to the three as they sat up, "Why are we laying in the dirt?" Lois asked

"And what the hell are we wearing?" Cyn asked

"What happened?" Lana asked

"Ancient witch, possession. I'll tell you later." Naruto whispered getting a nod from Lana

30 Minutes Later

Naruto raised an eyebrow at Cyn, "What?"

Cyn dragged her hands on her thighs looking at Naruto, "I love you and I trust you 100%. I appreciate you wanting to commit to me but I can't let you if it's at the cost of your health. So I agree to share with you." She said

"But if that makes you feel uncomfortable then-"

"It doesn't. Like I said I trust you." Cyn said causing Naruto to nod slightly before he scooted over to her and kissed her

"I love you." Naruto said

"I love you." She said

The television turned on CNN, with Senator Finch at the microphone, "How do we determine what's good? In a democracy, good is a conversation, not a unilateral decision. So, I urge Powerman, to come to this hearing of the people tomorrow. To see those who have suffered. The world needs to know what he stands for. How far will he take his power? Does he act by our will, or by his own."

Naruto frowned, "This is getting annoying."

"What're you going to do?"

"Speak the truth." Naruto said

Next Day, Washington DC, Capitol Hill

Security scanned paralyzed Wallace Keefe with a metal detector as reporter Soledad O'Brien talked, and his wheelchair eventually approached her, "The Senate hearing is expected to get underway in any minute now. Of course, the big unknown in all of this is: Will Powerman show up? That is what they're really waiting to see." Soledad saw Wallace and got his attention, "Mr. Keefe. Mr. Keefe. Soledad O'Brien, "In the Moment". Quick question for you. You're heading in to meet with the senators. What would you tell them?"

In the Wayne Enterprises meeting room, Bruce was watching this broadcast, "Um. I've come here to tell them to wake up. This is flesh and blood. He's delivered a war here. And this... (pointed to his wheelchair) This is what war looks like. I have nothing."

"There are plenty of people, sir, who would say he's their hero."

"He is not a hero!" Wallace yelled

"Grace, can you get Greg up here please, right now." Bruce frowned

After a moment Greg approached Bruce with a stack of papers, "Greg, why hasn't he been getting our checks?"

"He is, Mr. Wayne. He gets a check from the victim's fund every month. He returns them." Greg said as Bruce took the paper, with an attached check onto which "BRUCE WAYNE, OPEN YOUR EYES" was scribbled in red ink.

"An employee of Wayne financial who suffered a spinal injury in those horrific events in Metropolis."

The next paper reads "Bruce, NO TRUCE"…

" Jesus. …" he said as the next read "B WAYNE, I HAUNT YOU", " BRUCE WAYNE = BLIND"… "Why haven't I seen this?"

"I'm sorry. I'll get to the bottom of it." Greg said

In DC, the crowd is ecstatic as something approached from the sky.

"And there he is. Powerman is here. He's actually at the United States Capitol. This is really a historic moment."

Martha Kent was at the capital watching worriedly

"Nor we expect that Powerman would give some kind of a statement to the Senate to the American people, and of course to the world."

Inside the capitol, Senator Barrows gets a text message, "He's here. He came. He's above the Capitol."

A cop tries to stop Lois before she shows her press pass and lets her go. Lois eventually gets by the barricade separating the people from the Capitol stairs, where Powerman landed. The crowd was divisive: along with supporters with "Powerman Saves" shirts and chanting his name, there are angry people screaming "Get out!" and holding signs reading things such as "POWERMAN=ILLEGAL ALIEN", "THIS IS OUR WORLD, NOT YOURS!", "EARTH BELONGS TO HUMANS", "GOD HATES ALIENS", "GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT!", "WHEN INVASION BECOMES REALITY, REVOLT BECOMES DUTY!".

Powerman wearing black jeans over his chainmail suit walked with his hands in his pockets, making everyone's heads turn.

WAYNE Enterprises

"Another one came this morning, Mr. Wayne." Greg said handing Bruce an envelope

As Finch talked to Senator Kent, Powerman entered the room walking heading to the defendant's post, as everyone sat down, "Let me say at the outset that I am grateful to our witness for coming before us today."

Powerman noted Wallace on the corner and raised an eyebrow making note of the tinking in his seat,

"This is how democracy works. We talk to each other. We act by the consent of the govern, sir, I have sat here before to say that shadow interventions will not tolerate by this Committee. Neither will lies. Because today is a day for truth. Because only by speaking…"

Powerman raised a hand causing Finch to stop and everyone watched as he walked over to Wallace, "You're a demon." Keefe said

"Well, demons have the most fun." Powerman said before he grabbed Keefe and lifted him up and placed a glowing hand at his back

A ruckus immediately started as Naruto grabbed Keefe but everyone was shocked when he placed Keefe on his feet who looked at him in shock,

Picking up the wheelchair, Powerman looked to Finch, "A day for truth, right? Okay, you want the truth, I give it to you. If you'd be so kind as to join me outside while I dispose of this bomb.'

Powerman took a step in a blur of lightning he was gone with the people rushing him as the cops apprehended Wallace

Outside

Everyone gasped when Powerman sped out of the building and launched the wheelchair into the sky before it exploded causing them to scream,

Looking at a camera Powerman walked to the top of the steps, "I am here, to tell the truth at this Hearing of the People. So people hear me as I tell you a few things." Powerman said as everyone stood up watching him as the senators arrived, "I answer to none of you or anyone for that matter. I owe you, people, nothing. My parents died to let me live and I have been blessed to count some humans as my family. I have asked you all for nothing, I dont lord myself over any of you. I am proud of who and what I am.
