章節 82: Chapter 82 Bereft Rewritten
The heavy thud resounded throughout a vast area of the desert.
"Now then dear...". Amari dusted his hands together and turned to look at the little Green Miss.
"... You were saying?"
"You.....". Megan's eyes were wide open in shock.
"Who... I'm sorry, Who are you?" She said staggering up to her feet. She took several steps back, watching Amari with a hint of confusion and wariness.
Looking at the slightly tense green female in front of him, Amari tilted his head slightly, looking like he had found a new toy.
"Well... If I said I was your Lover on Earth, would you believe me?"
"You... You are what?" Her eyes widened in amazement at the words that came out of his mouth. It sounded somewhat incomprehensible.
The next moment, her green cheeks took on a red hue as she blushed and lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.
"That's…. That can't...". She muttered, stammering with her words and made nervous gestures with her fingers.
The thought of finding a boyfriend after coming to earth, visiting the planet she always dreamed of was..... Strangely embarrassing.
"... But that can't be. I don't .... even remember coming to earth much less having a ..... I can't even remember you, or where I am or what I'm doing here".
The embarrassment quickly faded as she got back to the fact that she had memory loss.
"Why do you tease the little Martian?" The voice of the red Queen sounded in his ears.
"I don't know. Guess I found the situation interesting. And..... Now I've lost interest".
"Oh! Does my boss now have a special quirk?"
"You can't be serious?". He said, slightly speechless.
"Also.... You haven't answered yet. Who are you? And is that... Superman?"
Seeing that Amari wasn't responding, Megan asked again.
"No, he isn't".
Amari answered the last and ignored the first. Then, his eyes glowed blue.
The vast expanse of land within hundreds of miles was instantly enveloped in his vision.
He saw many things.
The unconscious Robin, Aqualad, The conscious Kidflash, the Bialyan base camp, Supergirl....
Hold on a minute!
Amari's eyes widened in slight surprise.
What the hell was Kara doing here?
The scene that played out before his eyes were apparent.
A blonde female wearing the classic Supergirl suit and skirt with a long red cape.
Her body was being restrained with metal chains enclosing her hands and feet.
She laid on the testing table, her skin was pale, and her figure looked feeble. She laid there unconscious, mumbling words constantly that didn't seem to be any native language on Earth.
In the area around her, there were several men and women in white lab coats, name tags on their chests and most carried charts in their hands.
Of course, that wasn't the most eye-catching thing he saw.
In the same room, standing a considerable distance away from the blonde kryptonian and the dozen or so scientists, was a machine that shone with a silver luster under the light.
It wasn't human but once was one. As the live representation of a cyborg, it stood there unmoving, eyes colored green and a glowing rock of similar color could be seen embedded in his chest.
This Cyborg was one of Superman's greatest enemies, George Grant John Corben.
Also known as, Metallo.
"Seriously?" Amari at this point honestly felt speechless.
In the original timeline, Metallo had nothing to do with Bialya. He wasn't supposed to be here, but then again, neither was Supergirl so... There's that.
The fact that Supergirl joined the team was not surprising. Amari had expected it to happen.
But the thing is...
In the Superhero business, Kara was completely green. It hadn't been particularly long since the parasite incident.
What the hell was Clark thinking, letting her out again?
And on a dangerous mission to Bialya?
Amari frowned for a moment, seemingly lost in thought.
"Um…. What are you doing?" Megan looked at Amari with curious eyes.
Seeing the way his eyes glowed blue, she couldn't help but ask. At this point, she was almost comparable to an innocent teenager who hadn't seen the world.
"Nothing..... I'm looking for something". Amari said lightly.
Seeing Kara's situation, a frown appeared on his features. At the moment, Supergirl was situated in the same base camp that held Psimon and the reason the JL Proteges were here in the first place.
The piece of technology with artificial consciousness that belonged to the Forever people, Sphere.
Well, this was what the Proteges would come to know her as in due time. For now, she was the New Genisphere.
Technology stolen from the Gods of New Genesis by Desaad and sent to earth.
The energy signature released upon her entry into earth via Boom tube was what had alerted the watchtowers monitoring systems in the first place.
Amari watched the Supergirl and the New Genisphere.... And then, he turned his gaze elsewhere.
Their situation couldn't catch the interest of the Energy Sapien. Like he said to Miss Martian, he was looking for something. The whole reason why he even bothered coming to Bialya in the first place.
And it certainly wasn't to play the role of the hero rescuing the beauty.
Nor was he interested in the technology of the New God's. Honestly, he would rather not be disturbed by them.
His vision extended further to locate exactly what he was looking for.
Hidden underground many miles away from here, a secret facility disguised under the cover of desert sand that camouflaged the entrance point.
Underneath was a moderate facility with a layout similar to Cadmus labs.
It wasn't very large though. And there... Just right there, he found his prize.
Miss Martian, who hesitated to speak again, was a bit startled when Amari rose into the air, defying gravity.
"But..... Hey.... Where are you going?" She similarly flew upward to stay at equal height with him.
"To find what I came here for. You should probably do the same". He answered nonchalantly.
"But I..... I don't know what I came here for. I don't remember anything?"
"You're a telepath, I don't think I need to tell you what you need to do". He replied.
This was the truth. She would find out what she needed soon enough.
"I'm a telepath.....". She muttered to herself and her eyes lit up.
"Of course, hello Megan. I just have to reach into my subconscious".
And so, she immediately sat cross-legged in the air and fell into meditation.
"Honestly, I'm surprised how these kids survived the first few years doing this". Seeing Miss Martian instantly enter into a meditate state, completely unguarded and ignoring the fact that there was a stranger next to her, she didn't remember meeting, Amari couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Was she always this trusting of others in the initial stages?
Miss Martian had no idea what was going through his mind.
"Concentrate... Remember...".
And so, various scenes flashed in her head as her eyes turned pure white. She remembered the strange Superman....
A talkative ginger haired male in a yellow suit.....
"I made you cookies".
The scene of baking snacks, of burning them accidentally.
"You're next".
The terrifying face of what looked to be a demon pointing towards her.....
They weren't complete in the slightest. Just mere fragments.
But even those fragments were enough to tell her a lot.
"I'm on a team!" She exclaimed as her eye color returned to normal.
"I have friends, and a Superboy who might be...". Megan was puzzled, worried and a little frightened.
That last fragment was particularly scary. At the same time, she couldn't help but have some doubts.
"Hey, didn't you say that...". She didn't remember having a boyfriend, or a relationship for that matter. She sensed a bit of emotional ambiguity with The Superboy but....
She turned around to ask Amari some of her doubts, only to find no one flying where he once was.
.....
Secret Underground Facility
Bialyan Desert.
Unlike what one would expect, the whole place wasn't filled with armed forces patrolling every nook and cranny.
There were no heavy carrier guns, highly advanced weaponry, or fleets of advanced technological aircraft.
Sure, there were a few planes here and there, but that was about it. Save of course for the special one that had transported the most important thing of the night down here a few hours ago.
The space around a secluded area swirled and Amari's figure popped up from thin air.
Looking at the soldiers moving in an orderly fashion, security cameras in several directions and whatnot, he couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
Of all places, why the hell was I brought down here? Watching the soldiers walk right past him without registering his presence, Amari didn't think much.
Currently, his silhouette was blurry and translucent, giving the feeling that he was there and yet not there at the same time.
Of course, that wasn't the only reason why they couldn't notice him.
Amari disappeared from his spot and appeared in the lower levels of the base. Standing in front of a wide, heavily armored door at the end of the hallway.
"So this is where they're keeping the old timer?" He muttered softly to no one in particular and walked right through the defensive doors that could withstand a missile explosion.
Passing through the obstacle in front of him, what laid on the other side which was now before him looked a lot like Cadmus labs.
There were two tube pods.
In each one, a male and a female could be seen floating in a liquid substance.
Both wore no clothes on them. Their bodies floating bare the same way they came into the world.
For any man, the naked body of a female would be a pleasant sight to behold. Especially since this female was one with a particularly good figure, moderate assets, smooth skin, pleasant complexion and a young age.
The fact that she would be the future wife of Superman was the icing on the cake.
The same, however, couldn't be said when looking at the naked body of a man surpassing his fifties, with an abdominal region that had a belly flab and a noticeably small penis.
The gray hairs on his head, side burns along his cheeks and dignified expression that never left his face even when unconscious gave his identity away.
The long-lost General Sam Lane.
Currently, the two of them were in cloning pods. What for? Amari could guess the whole thing.
"Too bad..... I'm not here for you either".
And with those words, he lifted his dimensional state and appeared in his real body.
At that moment, a mechanical sound was triggered and something with glowing red eyes seemed to sense something that was not supposed to be here, causing it to wake up from its dormancy.
