Different World [1]

Chapter Twelve

"My sister can create weapons and reveal memories through emotions" Mal grunted as a pillar of rock began to rise. "I can take memories at my own will and terrakinesis, manipulation of earth and minerals" She finished as Emma's body appeared on the pillar. Her skin was paler than normal and the bandage on her arm turned a dark red colour. "What have you done?" Superman gritted his teeth and he gently picked Emma up bridal style.

"Borrowed some blood" Mal shrugged before flying away from the hero with a dangerous laugh. Superman was fast to fly away to the makeshift D.O.D base outside his house.

He landed in between the house and the tents that were made up. Sienna was the first to run to Superman, her eyes filled with relief. "Emma!" She called out, reaching for the unconscious girl. "What happened?" She asked Superman, seeing her niece looking like a corpse.

Jordan sat beside Emma as monitors beeped in the desperate silence. The sun shining through the small cracks in the tent. She was hooked up to an IV drip, her skin looking more lively then when she was brought back. A nurse came in to take the last blood bag only moments before, giving the boy a sympathetic smile.

"She'll be okay son, she's strong" The nurse told him before leaving. Everyone was affected by Emma's state, some more than others. Clark and Lois seemed to be busy themselves with finding Tal-Rho and Mal's whereabouts. Sienna had been back and forth between the farm and her home with Alor heirlooms hoping to figure out what Mal wanted from Emma.

Jon, he did what he always did when he was afraid. Throw his football at the tire swing. His grandfather was preventing any tests that could reveal Emma's unique hybrid genetics, already having copies of NDAs incase of the worse.

"You're brooding"

Jordan looked at Emma, the girl looking at him through half-opened eyes. "It might suit your Dad, just not you" She spoke. Her voice was soft, like petals of a flower had been made for her lips. Her eyes were glowing through her lashes, even though she wasn't in use of her powers. To Jordan, she looked like an angel.

"Just worried about you" He answered simply, scooting his chair over towards her. Emma mustered a smile, reaching for Jordan's hand. "Would you believe that this is the safest reason I've ever been in a hospital bed?" Emma asked him, making Jordan smile and roll his eyes at her. "You're ridiculous" He told her. Emma only smiled at him.

The silence spoke volumes as Emma closed her eyes, the smile on her face slowly fading.

"I'm sorry Emmsie"

"Mam, that's enough"

"Find me little sister"

"Conner" Emma whispered, opening her eyes. They glowed, as did the two dots under each eye. "Emma? What's wrong?" Jordan asked her, seeing the back of her hands begin to glow. Emma was quick to rip the needle connecting her to the IV. "I need to stop them" Emma answered vaguely, jumping off the bed.

She had never been more thankful that she wasn't in a shitty hospital gown. "Stop who?" Jordan asked, following after Emma as she left the tent. She looked back at him, the glowing dying down slightly. "Your parents" She answered before running towards the Farm house.

Jon has noticed Jordan's mop of hair running, he was curious until he noticed the washed out blue his twin followed. Discarding his favored football, Jon ran after them from the tire swing. He knew that Emma was about to do something, Jon was trying to figure out what.

Lois, Clark and Sienna sat in the kitchen, brainstorming ideas and theories to why Tal needed Emma and why. The trio of guardians had laid out many pieces of translated Kryptonian scripture from both El and Alor archives. A small little device that projected more knowledge in the mother tongue of the latter. And the box that Kara gifted Emma, only knowing that Naeza had given it to Kara for the next protector.
