This is a Superman Fanfiction only.

She sat down and ate the food that was prepared for her, for some odd reason I gather she is actually studying the food more than enjoying it, I could say she is either curious about the ingredients or she is a picky eater, Faora is too, so I should not really find that surprising at all.

I simply waited to hear her questions, which I am sure she would have.

"So how would I feed when I am in the chamber?" Faora smiled, "Through the liquids that fill the chamber your body will be healed and all your physiological needs will be met. As for boredom, I shall be with you during the time you undergo the treatment, I could talk with you, show you scenes of the worlds that form the alliance, even answer questions."

I looked at Kal-El and I have to say I find the emotional distance he is projecting to be hurtful and understandable. "Godson, your friend can read my mind, he knows I mean you no harm, I would never actually cause you harm. I would say that is something that worries me, this planet could very well choose to use you to get me to give them access to the scientific knowledge of the Alliance."

The Green Lantern looked at me with a glare, "You never explained why that would be such a horrible thing? You technology that you showed us could be used to put things like diseases, poverty and social ailments in the past so you might want to explain to us that reason."

I looked at him, and I could not help but to shake my head as I remember a friend in the Alliance and what he told us, "Knowledge beyond your means leads only to destruction. You should know this better than most present Lantern, I have seen what happens to worlds that are introduced to new scientific knowledge and advancement when they are not ready, they have no concept of the harm they can do to themselves and end up causing their own destruction."

"I said this thing on the table can create anything, and I do mean anything, they could be used to create weapons, cause wars that would kill millions, diseases and pathogens that could end entire life on this planet from a simple error, the rule states that only species that are space-faring may join the alliance, only a species that has this level of advancement would be able to show the responsibility and restraint in using something as simple as this replicator."

And so everyone began to look at me differently, I should not be surprised, this was bound to happen when I explained why I always knew it. The foolish will think of me either as cruel or greedy, that I don't want to share because I want to be selfish and keep all the toys to myself, the intelligent people will understand but will feel that this is a thing to motivate them, and the greedy will think they only need to find the price I will be willing to sell them this knowledge, for them everything has a price.

"So how else would my life change?" I was actually happy to hear her question now, who would have thought we would get to this?

"As I told you, you would be one of my kind. Every benefit and every weakness, all the good and all the ill, your view of your world might even change due to your new strength, your abilities, you will need to have regular training sessions with either me or my wife, to help you get used what you can you after the treatment."

"What you called easy once, such as picking up a cup of coffee will be extraordinarily hard, every time you do it will shatter in your grip, every time you try to open a door, you will either crush the door handle or simply rip off the door off the wall depending on how the door usually opens, a single trip can cause you to kick a rock and that rock would fly off with such strength it could kill someone."

I would not exactly put it like that, but my godson is right. "So it pretty much boils down to get the procedure or I should pretty much give up on ever having a relationship with Superman, cause it will cause my death or I will never know the joys of being the mother of our child or children?"

Again not exactly how I would put it, but again Miss Lane is pretty much correct. Faora knows that feeling well since we been told by every member of the alliance that we simply will never be able to have a child of our own. I can not thank her enough even after hearing this thank her for always being there for me.

"Miss Lane, yes our people can have phenomenal powers, but as we told you those powers can, in fact, make living harder, many people here would think that my godson is blessed beyond measure, but right now he must constantly be controlling himself, if he gets a little too excited, well a hug from him without him holding back, well he could literally snap you in half."

"Can you imagine the force your baby's kick inside you would do to you? Not a pretty picture to imagine, but unfortunately, it was something that had to be said." Louis looked at Kal-El and then at the people around us, I could feel that she had come to a decision, what that decision I could not tell.

"She also has the option to remain human and marry someone else." Well, the man dressed in the bat-themed uniform was also correct. "I wouldn't be here if I was willing to consider such a thing, thanks to Batman, I know you mean well, but I already made my choice, I am undergoing the treatment, I will not let anything ruin the chances I have to be with the man I love."

Well that was rather simple but somehow I don't think it is that simple, "And once she finished getting used to her body after the treatment your League no doubt will have another person to help protect your planet. As for me and Faora, well the Alliance and the populace of New Krypton are actually quite self-sufficient."

Faora looked at me and she was always able to tell what I was thinking, "What my husband means is that we might be able to stick around and help you in your what did you call it? Justice League. The only problem would be where could we live where people of your world would not try to either steal or force us to give our technological knowledge."

Kal-El began to laugh and for once in my life, I began to think that maybe my godson could at least share the joke. "I have that pretty much-covered godfather, I have a fortress that is pretty secure, and it has more than enough space for you, my godmother, Louis and all of our children."

"The Fabled Fortress of Solitude, I never been in it, but as far as I heard from rumors, it is somewhere in the Arctic, hope some of that Alliance tech is something that can help with freezing temperatures."

Actually, a few members come from planets that are mostly ice, so yes, the Alliance can make such a place quite comfortable to live in. I was not in a hurry to tell him that, but I am guessing that J'on is pretty much able to tell, and yes I can tell you are reading my mind.

"So Lois this way please, husband, you can remain here. You understand why I do not let these men come with me." I nodded my head and told her that it was alright, she walked over to me and with a light kiss on my lips, she and Lois went deeper into the ship.

"Is she going to be alright?" I guess the fact that she left with only Faora would make him worry, "I would not worry godson, the reason she is the only one that went with her is simply because she is the only other woman present, had any other lady that you trust been present she too could have gone with them."

"The treatment will require her to be shall we say in a manner of speaking in her birthday suit, so that would be rather embarrassing for her, so some privacy would be appropriate don't you think so?"

That made the men realize how she was going to be inside the healing chamber and I think they understand. "If you become members of the Justice League does that mean you will share with us everything like you would if we were a member of your Alliance?" I don't believe it, some people will simply not understand no matter how many times I explain it.

"Let me put it this way Batman, you have with you a member of the Green Lantern Corp, they have the collective knowledge of thousands of species from across thousands of worlds, did he share with you that knowledge? Do you know how to make the rings they use? Do you even know where exactly is the world that is considered their headquarters? I am guessing the answer is no."

I looked at the men present, and I felt the need to express this one last time, "We do not irresponsibly share knowledge with anyone, if we did, we would be responsible for the death and destruction of worlds. My homeworld was destroyed largely due to stupidity, do you honestly think I would want any other world suffering the same fate as mine?"

I guess this finally made the notion sink in I hope, "But it would be an immense source of wealth, your people are recovering, you might need that wealth to help rebuild your population on that new world your people now call home." I guess I was wrong. The man they called Batman had to prove me wrong.

"Look at this table, this replicator can make anything we need, do you honestly think we use any form of currency in the Alliance? Ask my godson to scan me for any form of currency no matter how strange looking and you will find we have no need of anything like that, I served for years as a soldier and then general of Krypton, I was never paid."

"I was born and was raised to be a soldier, I did my duty without a second thought to financial gains or even personal enrichment, it was my duty. Every member of the Alliance helps for the good of everyone that is a member for no other reason. The serum that is being administered to Miss Lane, took the combined work of every scientist in three planets."

"Do you have any idea how much they had to put on hold, all because I simply asked them for their help in order for me to help my godson? They were working on things that would make them the most famous scientist in the Alliance, but they put that on hold simply because I asked them a favor."

"Greed is not the reason we do not share our knowledge, it is because we do not want you to use it and end up destroying yourselves with it!" I hope this will finally make them understand, honestly, how does my godson live with these people?

I was ready to ask if my godson would rather move to New Krypton when the man I know to be named J'on finally stepped closer to me and placed his hand on my shoulder, "I imagine your godson is very patient with them, I understand your frustrations very well, my own world is much as you described of your Alliance. They simply can not imagine a situation where people help each other out for no gain."

I felt his hand lift and decided to ask them a single question? "Does that mean this Justice League only helps when they are given some manner of reward?" That made the entire room become quiet.

"I guess we see your point, very well we will not ask you to share any technology or research with us, but we would like to ask you to help us with some of the things the League does." I flat out told them we would be glad to help as long as they kept their promise not to ask us to share anything developed by the Alliance and the member planets.

That is when my earpiece began to vibrate, I touched it, 'Husband, Lois has finished the initial stages of the treatment, she asks if it is possible for Kal-El to join her, she wants him to see that she has not become as she called it a mutated monster.'

'Faora you know well that she is quite naked as the day she was born. I shall ask him.'

Well, this is going to be embarrassing for more than a few reasons. "Godson, my wife has told me through our communication system that Lois has made a request, a request to us and to you, she wishes to spend some time with you, to let you see the treatment is going well, it seems she believes you are worried."

"I will guide you to the entrance to the medical bay, but for obvious reasons only you may come, and I will not enter the medical bay, again for obvious reasons." He got up and it seems Lois was right, he really was worried about her, I don't know but I really do wish I could meet his adoptive parents soon. I have a lot of things to thank them for.

As we reached the medical bay, and I say we because a few of them tried to sneak behind us. "If you think you can sneak past me, you are sorely mistaken, when I said only my godson would enter I mean it, I will have to find an equal facility for those that try on your station, because believe me, if you try, I will knock some sense and dignity into that fool."

That finally got them to stop following us, as he entered Faora came out, it seems a little privacy was just the thing my godson and his lover need, and I am not one to be as rude as to deny it.

"Faora how long till the treatment completes?" She looked at me and smiled, "In about one week, she can start training thanks to the subliminal training equipment that our allies shared with us. You really need to relax husband, all this stress cannot be good for you."

I know, but this planet doesn't exactly make it easy for me to relax, let's face it, for all I know they have kryptonite weapons, and their constant inability to understand makes it almost impossible for me to trust them.

"I know, but aside from my godson and his bride, I simply can not let my guard down, something in the air makes me think that this planet or these people are not as friendly as we would hope. I hope I am wrong, but I simply feel it."

She walked near me and placed her arms around me, "I know as well husband, I know, you do not need to worry about me. I am not as frail as I may appear to them. Do you want to bring in more of our own forces to this station and this so-called Justice League."

I guess that could help me relax somewhat, but that could also be a disaster if these humans behave the way I would suspect they did, they would call our forces the beginning of an invasion, if only as an excuse to try and kill us to steal our technology.

"In time, we need to earn their trust or they will misunderstand our intentions yet again. Expect the worst and hope for the best. We have a long road ahead of us, and if that man they call Batman is any indication it will cause us both quite a few headaches before we gain their trust."

As we walked back to the conference room, they were all seated and it seems they got used to using our replicator, they each had ordered a drink. I am still on duty, otherwise, I would order an ale, gods know I need it.

I touched the table to access the communication array, "Sorry for the wait, I have some free time to tell me about the progress the Alliance has made in my absence. Send voice communication signal to my earpiece, for security reasons."

'Sir, we are happy to see that you are alive and well General, we have been quite worried about how you were since you left. As for progress, every project is progressing to the next stages of development, thirty percent of all military, communications, information systems and basic equipment we use has been improved, renovated and further research to improve is ongoing. We are sending you the schematics so that your ship can activate the auto-update protocols on it.'

I have to admit that is impressive and made me feel quite proud, "Very well, tell the science division that the treatment so far is a complete success, as for my person and Faora we are working towards obtaining the goodwill of a hero organization they call the Justice League, they have a member of the Green Lantern Corp as a member."

"I can review and provide advice but it seems that for the foreseeable future, I will have to take residence on the planet they call Earth. Be sure to pay the chief scientist our bet, it turns out he was correct in his estimate that this would occur, remind me never to bet with that guy again."

I heard a few people laughing as I finished saying that, well, in the end, I managed to do a few things, I hope that my other project is also progressing as planned, I rather not discuss it through the com, just in case Faora is listening, I do love her and as such it is only natural that I would want her to be happy.
