-Dur-El waited for the food to be made as he found the computer system she was running scans on and he began to read over it kept finding this red system being repeated. He went over to another terminal is the second brain ran his fingers over the keyboard till he found the red lanterns used the power rage. He then found the blue lanterns that were there counter opposite and it pulled up the info and correction that could be made to the red to make it pull its power from hope instead. Dur-El reading this went back over to the terminal she has been working on and punched in the data to change it unsure if it would work.
Now with that finished he decided to explore more of the lab finding himself drawn back to the weapons bunker where he found a sword made of what seemed to be the spikes that grew out of his own skin. He picked it up finding he enjoyed the feel of the blade in his hand before giving it a swing and without meaning to cuts one of lex’s droid suits in half. Dur-El smirks at this finding that he finally had a real weapon to use on anything that got in his way but he had more planned now as he need to get stronger to take this city back from braniac and at that moment something clicked in his head and he walked over to the weapon terminal and began to go over all the information gather since the beginning of time starting with learning how to read and write and ending in what many believed to be kryptonian.
He now had a mind set that better suited his age and he walked back into the armory and found a machine that tested how strong you were by adding weight by the second until you back off so he walked over to it sitting the blade by a tank and going under the machine before turning it on and instantly the machine starting pushing down and as the second passed more and more weight was added until he had almost three thousand pounds pushing down on him nearly crushing his body to dust but as his heart was about to beat its final beat his body adapted and he stood pushing back up on the machine until it broke.
He went to a shower and washed away the blood from his body from where he had broke apart and now that the blood was gone he was shocked at what he saw that most of his skin was covered in the jagged bone like spurs and what wasn’t the spikes seemed to be made out of steel from when she had shot at him. He was slowly growing stronger like his father but he had to overcome his father be something that was superior if he ever wished to defeat brainiac.
He went and found Sandra and if the new look or the sword didn’t surprise her the way he spoke would”you have three days to finish your work then we move out, we have wasted enough time here this planet has long since seen a true hero and it has payed because of it so finish your work and we move out back to gotham, oh and the computer picked up motion outside but it cant detect what it is so one of the droids may have a stealth ability, or were not the only living things in this war zone which means they could be worse things then brainiac to worry about.”-

As she cooked she started setting the meal out on the table and smiles humming softly. As she finished working on the meal she watched Dur-El return from where he was and blinked tilting her head then watched him look at the computer figuring he was investigating and checks the meal to make sure everything was fine. She then saw it was done and heard what he had to say and smirks. “So I see you have learned a thing or two while I was cooking.” She said then crossed her arms as she was given three days. “Alright so three days? I should be done by tonight if everything goes well.” She then walked over and checked the sequencing not what was input into it seeing it was 90% complete she nodded and walked over to a second system and started to pull up the specs on the cloning pods and the software needed to run them and waited. As she was hitting buttons she acedintly hit a transfer button and sent the completed dna sequence to a cloning pod and it set to work silently. “Alright so I guess it’s time to download this.” She then pulled out a data chip and plugged it in as the information was downloaded down to it and hummed. “Foods ready you can eat if you want just leave the lone sandwich alone that is mine.” She told him and continued to work. “Also I think you have grown quite a bit but are you sure you’re ready to start fighting? We haven’t even completed your training.”

She found a spot on the roof of the building to land. After a quick look around the roof she dropped the shadow from around her. She walked over to a vent and smirked. After cracking her knuckles, she reached her hands out towards the vent and jerked her wrist to the left and the screws slowly made their way out. The screws floated the short distance from the holes into her palms, she made a pulling motion towards her abdomen and the cover of the vent flew at her. She caught it real quick and laid it and the screws quietly next to the new opening. She looked at the opening and sighed. “Why does everything need to be so dark?” She whispered aloud to herself. She snapped her fingers and a small lick of fire appears above them. She whispered sweet nothings to the tiny flame and pushed it into the vent. She crawled in after it, letting it light her way.
-
-Dur-El turned back to the computer while he thought about her question and he saw the woman appear on the roof and he tapped the keyboard a few times even though he was a bit smarter he wasn’t any type of genius yet. He found a code to seal the vent on the roof so nothing could follow her. He then sealed any route that would divert from where they were located they didn’t need her in the arsenal till he found out if she was friend or fiend. Dur-El turned back to her”anything worth fighting will teach me but there is a few things from here we will need and ill get that together before we leave. He brings up a system built into the building and he makes it so every few seconds a flash of green kryptoknite would flash through the room they were in which made him sick but he needed to get stronger before he pulls up another system and a huge basin of water rose up in the middle of the room just missing the table. He walked over and picked up some random things making sure not to bother her sandwich. He ate it all quickly before walking over to the basin feeling the radiation building up around the basin which made him guess this was made to cage superman.
Once he entered the basin it sealed itself shut not that he was scared if something went wrong he could bust out but then his eyes burst open as he realized that he couldn’t because of the radiation going through the room which made him gasp at the thought allowing water to enter his mouth and lungs and he steadied himself as he made two fists and let the water fills his lungs and body and his vision began to turn black as he passed out and a minute later his heart beat slowed nearing close to not being detectable. It reach the point where it beat one every ten seconds before it began to beat with power.
His eyes snapped open and he took a deep breath not through his mouth but the gills that formed on his chest and small holes formed on his back that pushed out the water that was already in his lungs so he could breath through his gills and his skin no longer was rock like but breathed and looked more like that of a shark and his mouth opened wider and his teeth grew longer and a film grew over his eyes so he could now see.
He still felt the radiation pouring into the room but luckily the system he had created had detected his death so the top unsealed and he was able to crawl out more fish like now then a man having fins coming off his elbows and webbed feet and hands and his spurs now appeared as perfect black spikes instead of the jagged stone like appearance.
His skin shined green from the radiation knowing it wasn’t enough to make him immune but he now wouldn’t drop the second he was exposed to it. He made his way over to the computer and shut down the system thinking this would have given the woman in the vents enough time to make her way down to where they were currently located so he picked up his sword which was weighed a little to him meaning he lost a little bit of his strength he had gained prior so that he could now swim easily. He swung his sword cutting the vent that the woman was in so that she would fall into the basin of water so she wouldn’t hurt herself.-

She munched on her sandwich as he ate away and blinked then watched the green filtering in and glanced about thinking and them wondered. once he climbed into the tank she watched it seal and she stopped in front of the computer tapping away at the screens and smirked turning to watch him.”I see what you are doing there.. Lets see how this plays out. This actually saves me having to set it up back home but now I wont piss you off doing it.” she thought this would be a life saver. Watching him start to crawl out after a time she smiled and heard the crawling and looks up then back down at him thinking. “Well lets see here. that’s a new look radical change but I dont see it being a problem for now.” she walked over as she watched him cutting the vent and the woman drop down into the tank and tilts her head. “Well what do we have here?”

Amelia fallowed the light, surprised to find that there were not very many paths. It seemed like there was only one passage through this giant building. Still she followed her light up to a point that a blade sliced in front of her, extinguishing her flame, seeing as it swung straight through it, and she slide face first into water. Her mouth filled as well as her lungs with water as she gasped in shock and then she quickly shut her mouth and swam disorientately towards the top of the water. Eventualy she climbed out of the tank of water and coughed up water. Her eyes watered and she gasped for air. She stood up and looked at both the creature and the woman. She waved her hands behind her and all the water that was on her flew behind her and back into the tank. “I… I saw food,” She said, bashfully looking down at her feet. She felt foolish for not thinking about her actions sooner.

-Dur-El decided this woman wasent worth killing so he turned to the table of food then to Muse and nodded before he walked over to the corner and placed his sword down before he start smacking in commands on the computer and he scanned the are seeing that braniac was drawing closer seeing as he must have followed this woman most likly without her knowledge. He turned to muse once more and spoke to both “hurt muse and you be walking back to Gotham stubs”. He pressed a button and the floor opened reveling a passage that was full of water that lead to the river that ran next to this building and he leaped in with a splash and now he swam with the speed he ran and came out behind the robots so he slowly snuck up and once he was five feet from them they sensed him and he smiled as he leaped forward pulling out the cord that ran up the robots spine paralyzing it. Four more of them turned and he lifted up the body using it as a shield as they shot and he punched another in the face and it fell over as it cybernetic skull crushed. Dur-El then picked up one of there guns and shot the other two in minor cords so that they would be broken but still able to be examined and he had plans for them. He noticed a master droid was walking up this thing stood at nine feet tall and was fierce with power what shocked Dur-El was the crest on the creatures chest was of the house of Zod so this thing was from the Phantom Zone. Dur-El felt anger that someone of his homeland was controlled like this and he felt a burning feeling as the symbol of El was on his chest and he shot fire into the eyes of the cyborg but it smacked it away. Dur-El ran and jumped slamming his fists into the top of its head but it smacked Dur-El away where he was impacted into the building knocking the breath out of him. He looked up and the creature picked him up and began dragging him to back to his base for processing. Dur-El waited until it was close to the water before he used his massive strength to knock the cyborg and himself into the water and it began to short circuit. He swam over and ripped the wires out of its head making the phantom regain control over its cybernetic body. Dur-El picked it up and swam out of the water and back to the river bank laying the man on the ground as he waited for the man to come to terms with what had happened. It jumped at Dur-El which made him sigh as he held up the disk that had been around the creatures wrist and it realized what was happening at the last second so it stopped and dropped to its knees and begged so Dur-El put the disk away for now. It began to rip wires out of its body while it watched Dur-El”ill follow you if you dont send me to that desert hell again”. Dur-El smirked as he nodded”you could become a good ally if you dont try and kill me or my friend”. It nodded and followed Dur-El into the base and back to Muse which he knew would make her freak out so he began to explain”i broke the control Braniac has over this guy and I figure he could come in handy getting back to Gotham and he will help us anyway we want because if he dosent ill send him to a place worse then hell”.

Sandra listened to the girl and watched Dur-El leave. She smiled to her and handed the girl the other half of her sandwich. “Alright well here is something to eat. Sneaking around is not always the best idea. Maybe letting us know you were here would help. Would you like me to help you train?” She asked the young woman she had offered her sandwich as Dur-El was gone. She then walked over and saw everything was finished and downloaded it onto a data chip and slipped it into her belt then deleted the file from the computer. Turning to see Dur-El come back with the monstrous thing she shifted some. “Okay so you have control of the situation good… Um yeah we probably should leave I have what I need and have erased it from the system so that it can’t be stolen.. Seeing how I’m the only one who can’t fly who is going to be carrying me?” her back had actually strengthened some as she had been here working.

Amelia shyly took a bit of the sandwhich and her eyes widened. She then downed the rest of the sandwhich in a few seconds. She recoiled a bit when she watched Dur-El come in with the cyborg. “My levitation ability isn’t the fastest, but I could try to fly, unless you want to go really fast, then you could always carry me. I don’t want to be a bother. I have been too much of one as is.” She gave a half smile and shyly put one of the locks of her hair behind her ear.

-Dur-El looked to his kin before walking between Sandra and Amelia reaching his slick foamy skin making sure the sandpaper outer skin didnt touch them with fear it would rip there flesh. Dur-El then nodded to his kin and in a flash of lightening he was running out of the building and then on the water itself as his fins extended out and he felt the humid air around him made his eyes slit and a film covered them as he dived into the water but with his fins out in front of both of the girls no water would touch them because an air pocket formed around them and he could hear the vibrations above them telling him his kin was following. He was outside of Gotham within two hours of the swim and as he launched himself out landing in the Wayne Manor placing them on the couch before he walked back outside to find his kin was no where to be found and he was suspicious of this. He then looked to them both before he spoke”ill return shortly im heading out to see if ive been followed and to see if anyone needed my help while we were away”.

A woman sat inside of a panic room in the bottom of the Lex Corp. She had been in the same dress for days just because she didn’t want to go and get her stuff. Her hair was only on half of her head, drooping long over her face. Her makeup was rubbed off as she looked at the door. She took in a deep breath and decided it was time to come out of the panic room. She walked over to it and peeked out through a tiny hole. She saw a drone go by and she backed off quick. She went to a spot out of sight of the hole and curled back up. She had to think of a plan to go and get some of the things, including materials to get a way out of there.

Inside a facility in Metropolis some….thing has been found and brought in for study within the wasteland. It has been strapped to a table and is being looked over by research bots. It is being scanned over. A remote control even. It has organs, and yet it also has circuitry. It appears to be a cyborg. However, it’s organic parts do no appear to be like any terrestrial creature that exists. IT’s entire anatomy seems to in fact be made to work well with it’s inorganic parts. It has blood even. And a nervous system. It is large and has hidden weapons in it’s arms and torso. It doesn’t have a mouth that can be seen. But…it also seems to breath. There is within it, a large presence of bacteria and fungus. Which seem to not be a disease of any kind. They seem to actually help produce fuel for the organism. From water. It appears to be partially nuclear powered. With thorium reactors located within the torso…
The extensive overview and scanning takes place for hours as research bots analyze it. However. Eventually. It’s eyes glow. And it looks about. It itself observing it’s environment. The machines around it. It tries to move at first but is restrained. It makes a Gorilla like noise angered. And jerks in its restraints as it breaks free through its reinforced restrains easily and gets up. An alarm sounds. It hears drones flying and footsteps.
The creatures crouch and jumps leaving behind a dent in the ground ground. It goes through floor after floor. Until it shoots out the roof. It goes 200 feet into the air and then lands. It’s landing makes a large crater as the ground shakes for a second. It picks it feet and walks out. Looking around. Taking in it’s surroundings. It gets blasted in it’s side and pushed into a building.
A large robot aims it’s energy beam at SR causing it to fly in through a buildings wall. 2 more of the bots land. They all aim at the hole in the building. There is a shaking heard as SR comes from the 5 floors up and pounce one bot. SR53 mercilessly smashes him into the ground with his fist and picks up the remains of the bot. It uses it to shield itself from anothers blast. Then just tosses it into the other. Another blasts him in his back and this time SR does not get knocked back.
SR turns around and runs through the laser the ground shaking as he makes footprints with each step. SR grabs the bot by the face and picks it up. It bashes it face first into the ground repeatedly. It does so multiple times in quick succession. A very simple yet effective means of destroying it. It then throws it over a block away with a swift toss. It turns to the remaining bot who is getting up.
It gets right back down as SR lands on it. SR picks it up and holds it over it’s head. Then over a few seconds, it tears the bot in two. It roars triumphantly into the air. Drones fly over and it throws the bots torso at it to knock it down. Then the lower torso at another.
It roars as more appear and jumps away. It lands on the wall of a building. It looks back at the drones then jumps off the building into the distance as drones fly after it to chase it.

-Cassandra heard distant sounds and noticed all seemed to go quiet outside of her immediate door. She had a feeling the drone took off into the distance to solve the possible issue going on. She took her chance and opened the panic room door. She looked around at the various things in her lowest lab be semi destroyed. She figured some of the sounds earlier were what destroyed most of it. She went looting around for a battle suit, her delicate hands stroking over cases of broken glass and destroyed stuff galore. She couldn’t really find a full one so she took the top of one, the legs of another and drug them with much strain into the panic room.
She returned out of her hidey hole in order to search out some more parts, gathering circuits and tools. She gathered up enough to work with in all of them and brought them into her hiding hole. She foraged for food, water, and dared to go upstairs once all of it was safely in the panic room and sealed.
She looked at all of the broken bits of offices and such. She took the stairs because the elevator seemed to be whining. She walked the whole way to the top, the office that was supposed to be hers. She stepped into the closet and grabbed some clothes, her hearing a whirring sound behind her. She turned and saw a drone looking right at her. She gazed at it and was shivering. “GO THE FUCK AWAY!” The drone swooped at her and she rolled out of the way.
She ended up under the desk and noticed a gun under it. She grabbed it and got out from under the desk and aimed for where the drone had swooped. It was gone. She panted out of fear and couldn’t hear the whirring. She screamed, “SHOW YOURSELF!”
She was shivering and when she silenced herself she turned around to see the drone coming at her. She hit to fire at it but only got the empty click noise. “WHAT THE HELL!” She turned it to hold the muzzle and smacked the drone away with the butt of the barrel. The drone floated away a bit and seemed disoriented. It came back at her, though.
She threw the gun away and raised her leg up to kick the drone with her stiletto heel. It punctured through the drone into its hard-drive. But the last look the eye of the drone would have gotten was a peep under her dress. She walked away from it and took the clothing down and relocked herself into the panic room.-

SR lands in the street making a crater and looks up at the drones. It growls and walks into an alley. Then backhands a hole in the building and walks through into it. Drones fly in after it two get punched away by SR, it waiting for the drones to fly into it. In a cramped space. Their air superiority gone, SR grabs two and smashes together into another. He puts his arms into the ground, and rips up a chunk of ground and hurls it at the drones like a the drones. The fly back into the wall broken.
More drones appear soon. But by this time. SR is already gone.
SR in the sewers trudges through the tunnels.

-Cassandra stayed in her panic room and made sure everything was in place. Food in a refrigerator, the parts in a nice cleared out work space. She began putting together the upper and lower halves she found and connecting the wires as properly as possible. She tested the functions and tried to get them to work but suddenly the panic room door got blasted open. She guesses she was seen. Drones came in and tried to grab at her.
She screamed and tried to batter them off with a wrench, her leg finally starting to feel the pain from kicking that one drone earlier. She kept trying to bash them but didn’t see one of them come behind her. She felt a short electric shock and she went to the ground twitching. She was still alive but she had never been tazed before. The drones then lifted her and drug her out of Lexcorp. She gained her bearings and started screaming and trying to get loose from the attacking drones.
She made their flight path alter with their struggling so they stopped to hover until she wore herself out. She kept trying to get them to let go and was screaming at the top of her lungs, “GO THE FUCK AWAY! PUT ME DOWN! DIE!”-
