The of Superman and the Rise of a God

It was apparently a hard choice, he take several minutes, “Okay, I will be Clark Kent.” You knew would attempt to come back, to take back his power. You did what you had to do. He starts to leave, and as he does so, you cast your spell. “Adiys-nunskeion-de-twemun!” In that moment, his mind was wiped of all knowledge of ever being Superman. No matter who told him he would not remember anything about being Superman or Kal-el.

The next course was to kill superman in the mind of the world. You cast another spell transforming yourself into the visage of Superman. You fly to the United Nations Office. It was a strange thing, had to will every cell in your body to defy gravity. When you arrive you call for a meeting of all the delegates. Within the hour they had assembled.

They all waited for you to speak, it would be so easy to control the world, they could do nothing, and they knew it. You were in complete control and that was why you had to do this. “People of Earth, I must leave. Now. It may be years even decades before I can return. There are forces I must deal with for the betterment of humanity, I will protect you, I swear. Human beings your are strong do not forget this, you can survive, you will, the world doesn’t need Superman, everything I have done was only lessen the burden, but it is time for you to stand up as I know you can. Thank you. With that you flew through the roof and left the atmosphere. You felt like you were forgetting something.

You knew they would be watching. You flew out past Mars, past Jupiter, past Pluto, out past the farthest reaches of the solar system. At last, in the cold, dark solitude of space you finally drop your illusionary visage. There is a burst of lightning and before you appears a tall statuesque if hoary man in a fine white pin strip suit. In a burst of black flames

He smiles. “By Jove, I think you have done it, Leo,” he says with a fake British accent.

You stifle a small laugh and nod your head, “‘by Jove,’ funny, but I think I agree. I hated lying to them, but it softened the blow. I don’t think could have understood the truth.” You look longingly back at the Earth. After a moment you look at the man in the white suit, “Zeus, did you ever question using the power you have?”

He laughed jovially, “Oh course my boy, the slightest nudge and I could have start a war or a new wave of genocide, I questioned it all the time.” The two of you were silent for a moment. “Where is Hades?”

“There was a reason I ruled Olympus, I was the strongest of us. He will be here, do not worry, he is not so easily destroyed.” He laughed.

He laughed because he and Hades had had be thrown down by his children and Hades slain by Ares and now you had done only Orpheus had dared before you, and journeyed into Tartarus to free on of its keep. You had used ancient dark magics to rip a hole in the fabric of Tartarus’s reality. I had come a great price, and taken you over a year to recover from the act, and that had taken the power of the Olympian who sat with you here in the Void. He had aided you in your quest to save the world for the task you had performed had performed for his brother. But it had been Zeus who had to gone into the Grecian hell to get his brother, for you were still too weak. Now the three of you would restore the world to its rightful rule. They take back their thrones and you would unite the world as one people. That is why you believed in humanity, here you were the unclaimed bastard child of Lex Luther and without any help of your family, you had freed a damned god, mastered the secrets of the kryptonite, infiltrated a massive and surprisingly clandestine society, and defeated your father’s archenemy. Yet it still felt like you were forgetting something.
A burst of dark swirling shadow appeared before the sun. It was Hades. He heaved; it must have been an effort just come here. “Brother who is this?”

“This is a mortal who has sacrificed much to free you and restore me to my full power.”

Hades looked at you. “Why?”

You were surprised, “Why? Because the Titans your fathers conquered their father to claim his thrown, but they were petty and cruel you threw them down, but then his children over threw you through guile and treachery; whom do you think I find the more noble.”

What could you be forgetting, it was driving you crazy. “I have a world to save,” you smile, “if wish to perform a formal challenge to regain your thrones I shall be happy to champion, but since your killer seemed happy to ignore formal rules I’ll understand if you don’t.” You start to fly back, but the feeling you were forgetting something was too great. You turn back, “I have this feeling I am forgetting something, either of you know what it might be?”

Zeus shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. “I don’t know? Getting the girl?” he suggested.

Oh Shit! He was right. You just left Supergirl and Powergirl next to an **** Green Lantern. You turned back and fly at full speed to the apartment.
