章節 91: Chapter 91

Erupting in strength, Leonardo who was in serious pain and felt blood running down from his forehead and lip glared fiercely at Aldar. He summoned his boundless strength and in a fierce counterattack that outmatched his previous series of strikes. Leonardo didn't care anymore of the land around him as the ground trembled more fiercely with each strike.

One hit after another, he brought Aldar down to his knees as the man also seemed to feel the pain this time. Since the amount of force between each tore the ground and made various people think an earthquake was happening.

"It's time for you to return to the Phantom Zone, Aldar." Leonardo said as he kicked Aldar unconscious.

Pulling out a small bracelet looking device from his pocket, Leonardo tossed it above Aldar's body. Where it was soon put into a mirror looking thing that shot off into the sky. Where Leonardo limped out of the large hole he made as he punched Aldar repeatedly.

'Well, whoever investigates this area will think someone is playing with explosives.' Leonardo looked around.

The area he was leveled and it wouldn't be wrong to say something exploded. So walking away from the scene with a limp in his step, Leonardo felt tired and exhausted as the sun ray began to work in healing him. However, it felt slow as while his physical pain healed rapidly, the phantom pain did not.

So he simply returned to his hotel room that was assigned to him in Seattle. Where he did a light wash before crashing down on the bed to sleep. For how to explain all the deaths he was sent to investigate. He would think of an explanation later and maybe put it in an underground cult or something and they blew themselves up instead of risking being caught.

Three weeks later, while sitting on an iceberg in the arctic circle with sub zero temperatures in a t-shirt and jeans. Leonardo was sitting with a pail beside him and a fishing pole in hand. While watching his bobber float in the vast ocean waiting for a fish to bite.

During the past few weeks since taking care of Aldar, Leonardo was taking a small vacation again. While not so much he wanted it, but others felt he needed it again. Since Amanda Waller and a few well connected millionaires 'meant well' in forcing him onto vacation again, he might as well enjoy it.

Hence Leonardo has been traveling the globe fishing, playing or exploring uncivilized areas. Which led to him being hacked or shot at with stone weapons and arrows or rough iron ones a few times. To list a time while exploring the Amazon Forest, he stumbled upon a few groups who lived cut off from the rest of the world. They didn't take kindly of him stumbling into their land and chasing after him with their weapons.

However while he was enjoying himself, he didn't cut off complete contact with Clark and others. He just wasn't around since not once did he rush to Smallville to help on the farm nor keep an eye on Clark's adventure. Which led to him and Chloe having a bit of a headache as their not well trained time management skill suddenly became an issue.

Especially since what they jumped headfirst into was Lex's 33.1 projects and began running with Oliver Queen group. During which Clark seems to discover a slightly extreme aspect in his friend Oliver Queen in his ways of bringing Lex's down. So while he called Leonardo about it, he only gave a few words of advice to Clark about the matter.

It's not that Leonardo didn't want to give more, but he truthfully didn't have sound advice. While he could say, one shouldn't blow up buildings, but when it comes to their own matters and fights that require them to be serious. Buildings were basically scrap paper and it is amazing if four or five buildings are the only thing destroyed.

Just thinking back to his fight with Aldar, their fight was so destructive that others easily believed it was a cult with explosives. So Leonardo couldn't really take the high ground outside saying one shouldn't blow up warehouses. Though he did point out that besides blowing up some equipment and forcing Luther Corps employees to be transferred or find new jobs. Queen's group hasn't really done all that much in putting a halt to Lex's plans.

Since then, Leonardo didn't know what Clark wanted to do, but he knew Clark would just dwell on it for a while. Despite a few attempts, Clark still tended to dwell on things, but he wasn't too bad, just a bit slow on moving forward on a few matters. Even Jonathan's death which Clark dwelled on for years in the show, this Clark was moving forward at barely a slow walking speed but moving forward none the less.

As for Aurora's side, he offered for her to join him on his travels. However, her studio was on the rapid rise with various projects coming left, right and center. Thus, she couldn't break away even if she only accepted half of what was coming in. Since the amount she was making was enough to open branches in half the globe and still have enough to pay employees for years even if there were no projects.

Which he won't lie, but saddens him a bit, but his idea was more of a whim. So he didn't blame her, but he wishes he could see her more. However, at least he got Aurora to stop trying to get him to begin a career he wasn't really fond of beginning. For it was one thing to watch porn but a whole different thing to act in one.

"Ah, I caught something."

Giving his fishing line a small tug, a fish soon flew out of the water and into his hands. Tossing it into the bucket beside him, Leonardo recast his line and began waiting for the next fish.

While Leonardo was enjoying his time fishing in subzero temperature by himself and away from the rest of the world for a bit. Clark was facing his nightmare. Inside the barn, Clark found himself attacked out of the blue by a phantom that is able to control minds.

Inside his nightmare, Clark found himself in an Asylum where he didn't have superpowers, his mother was married to Lionel Luther and Lana was there saying he wasn't crazy but kept asking for new drugs for him. It really took him on a roller coaster truth be told and he couldn't find Leonardo to help him since Leonardo was some big billionaire who ran a worldwide company and was the most popular part time male porn star.

He saw various papers and magazines inside the asylum where they discovered Leonardo as the sexiest man alive, the smartest or basically the most perfect person. Well, if not for the various scandals to go alongside it all of various movie stars and models.

'Does sleeping with your boss if you're a porn star really considered scandal material?' Clark wondered since there was an image of Aurora and Leonardo.

However, he soon tossed such strange thoughts out of his mind since he needed to focus.He didn't know where he was nor an idea how to escape from here. Since he felt a sense of crisis and if he didn't solve it soon, then something bad could happen.

Soon, while he is in line for medication. He soon meets someone who claims to be from Mars and tells him to trust no one. Which was a bit strange, but as he moved forward through his day and escaped from the asylum. Where he discovers that Dr. Hanson was the phantom.

Luckily, his nightmare soon came to an end with the help of a Martian Manhunter who was keeping an eye on him. So soon the phantom was sent back to the Phantom Zone.

So when Clark woke up from his dream, he saw a dark skin man he saw within the dream standing above him with a crystal. Clark went to say something, the man just shot off into the sky. Right before Chloe appeared, telling him despite spending so long within his dream less than a second pass for her.

'Leonardo did mention that the mind moves faster than we realize.' Clark soon connected a few dots.

"So, Chloe, what ups that you drove all the way out here." Clark asked.

While he knew that Chloe was on her way out, she didn't actually tell him what she needed on the phone. Hence, he was a bit clueless on why she came to him since as far as he knows. She didn't have any leds on any more phantoms.

"Well, since our resident law enforcement went off the grid. I finally got my hands on papers for Raya. She is now a legal citizen of Earth." Chloe smiled proudly.

Clark felt a bit awkward about this since he remembered telling Chloe that Leonardo already had the handle within a few days of her arriving. It had seemed to slip her mind or she didn't pay attention when he told her. However, Clark didn't bother to inform her and decided to fix it later.
