Match stared out the window as the sun rose, his eyes still thick with sleep, and his mind still half awake. He smiled as he saw the sun, the great big yellow star gave him strength, so he closed his eyes and basked in it, leaning against the wall behind him, feeling the star's strength flow into him.

"mmph" The girl beside him mumbled in her sleep

Match smiled and gently caressed her face with his hand. This young girl qualified as his only real friend, no ulterior motives, no secret agenda, and no orders. Of course he supposed he qualified as her only real friend as well, but that was the price of this line of work, no personal life. Stretching, Match got out of the bed and strode over to the window, staring straight past the snow capped mountains and into the glow of the yellow sun.

He turned his head to the left at the sound of a door opening and was surprised to see Lex Luthor walk in, smiling "Mr. Luthor, a pleasure to see you." Match said "I didn't expect to see you today."

Lex raised a hand "Pleasure's all mine. How're you doing Match?"

Match smiled mischievously and returned his gaze to the sun "Better everyday." He told the man

"That's wonderful to hear." He glanced at the girl sleeping on the bed "And how has Lela been treating you?"

Match smiled, a distant look in his eye "She's been kind." Match's face suddenly darkened "Unlike your friends at Cadmus."

"Again I must apologize for that." Lex said

"Apologize all you like." Match said "Its in the past now."

Lex nodded, knowing better than to push the genomorph's patience with the subject "I hope you two haven't been having too much fun."

Match chuckled "Don't worry about that Mr. Luthor. We've kept it clean."

"Excellent. How has your recovery been?" Luthor asked

Match looked and him and smiled "I don't know," He said turning to face Luthor and raising his hands "You tell me" a fierce white glow suddenly appeared in both of his hands

"Astounding." Luthor said as Match powered down the glow

"Indeed." Match said, placing his hands behind his back

"I assume that means you're at full health?" The CEO asked

"You assume correctly. I must thank you again Mr. Luthor, the treatment Lex Corp has given me saved my life." Match said moving to stand by Lela "And you've provided excellent company" he said, running his fingers through her hair

"It was in my best interest to save it." Luthor said "After all the money invested in your birth, we couldn't just let you die now could we?"

Match smiled "Now we reach the topic I've been awaiting to discuss." Match said "You wouldn't come here unless you needed my help with something."

"Match you completely misunderstand-" Lex started

"Oh save it Mr. Luthor." Match said "I'm happy to help."

"Really?" Lex asked, mentally kicking himself for preparing blackmail in advance

"Of course." Match said "I've been cooped up here for so long its gotten boring. So tell me, what's this job you have for me?"

Lex smiled "One I think you'll enjoy."

Lela yawned as she stretched, waking up after a peaceful night's rest. She felt the bed next to her and noticed an absence. She looked around and saw Match staring out the window into the sunlight. She smiled, walking over to him and draping her arms over his shoulders and across his chest "You're up early." She said

"Or you're up late?" He offered, smiling smugly

"You're in a good mood. That's unusual." She said

"Mr. Luthor came by, he had a job for me." he told her

"Does it concern... him?" Lela asked

Match smiled maliciously and nodded

Lela returned his smile "You gonna kill him?"

Match's smiled turned demonic, perhaps into a smile only the Joker could've rivaled in malice "Of course."

Lela chuckled "That's my Match." she said giving him a peck on the cheek "Just don't get hurt."

Match screamed "Are you ready little brother! Big bro's going to kill you!" Then he started cackling, a dark malicious sound that came straight from the pits of hell itself, its malice and evil tangible in the air around the psychopathic kryptonian, powerful enough to make even a green lantern quake in fear. This laugh, was among one of the things that earned Match one of his many titles... The Demon of Steel.

Metropolis City, Outside the Kent residence

September 12th, 2012, 15:00

"So your cousin just pops in out of the blue and you have to let her live with you?" Kyle asked Conner as they exited the elevator

"I didn't say it made sense." Conner said as he fished into his pocket for the keys to the apartment

"But I mean she just shows up and your Dad's like 'she's going to be staying with us' and you just roll with it?" The art student asked in shock

"That about sums it up." The Boy of Steel said, smiling in triumph as he found the key

Kyle rolled his eyes "Well anyways, thanks for inviting me over."

"It's no problem, besides I owe you after I canceled on you Saturday and Sunday." Conner said inserting the key into the lock

"Just remember that we have homework too, as much as I want to totally kick your butt at COD, we have that AP Bio project we have to get started on." Kyle reminded Conner as he opened the door

"Thanks a lot Kyle, I was trying to forget." Conner joked as the duo walked into the apartment.

"Is that you Conner?" Kara's voice asked

"Yeah, its me Kara." Conner told her

Kara walked out of the bathroom and Conner could have sworn he saw a tint of red appear on Kyle's face. Kara had purchased a brown wig at the shopping mall on Sunday and was wearing it, she was also wearing a blue shirt with a flower on it, a pair of blue jeans, and a red jacket.

"Hi Conner, who's your friend?" Kara asked

Conner could hear Kyle's heartbeat speed up "Um... Hi my Kyle is name." He facepalmed "I mean Kyle my name is hi." he facepalmed again "I mean...hi." he said

Kara giggled "Hello Kyle, my name is Kara." She said

Kyle nervously scratched the back of his head, his face as red as Clark's cape "N-n-nice to meet you."

"Well anyway, I promised Clark I'd go stop by the planet today. Later Conner." Kara said, grabbing her bag and heading out

As soon as Kara had left Kyle planted his face into his hand "I acted like a complete idiot."

"And that is different from your normal behavior because?" Conner asked grabbing an Xbox controller and tossing it to Kyle

The controller hit Kyle and landed on the floor "Did you see her? She was amazing!" the artist asked

"Dude, she's my cousin." Conner said picking up the remote and handing it to Kyle "I don't give three cents."

"Say hello to Conner Kent, with his infamous Skull-of-steel" Kyle said tapping Conner's forehead

Conner laughed turning on the Television "Just get ready to play."

Kyle reluctantly consented and grabbed his controller and the two proceeded to play video games in the dark for seven hours straight.

Metropolis City

September 12th, 2012, 22:30

Conner scanned the city with his eyes, searching for even the slightest hint of trouble. He sighed not finding anything, and proceeded to hop over to the next building. His father had told him he needed to begin Kara's paperwork for a transfer to Metropolis High, which meant he'd be on patrol tonight. He didn't mind so much, except for perhaps having to quit his game with Kyle. But he figured it could be worse, he could've had a team mission. So, counting his blessings, he put on his Superboy shirt and leapt into action.

He paused after landing on a building roof, he could hear something... he wasn't quite sure what he was hearing. He closed his eyes and concentrated, filtering out the sounds of cars, heartbeats, and machinery that filled the air of nocturnal Metropolis, filtering out each one until he found the sound he was looking for, it was a fluttering sound, like a cape, flowing in the wind... and getting louder. He located the sound as being east of his position and turned, towards the direction it was coming from. His eyes widened as a streak of black flew towards him, stopping only a few feet in front of him and floating onto the ground before him. The strange being was wearing a black suit, with a cape flowing in the wind, his face was covered by a featureless helmet, with only two slits for the man's bright blue eyes to see out of, on each hand he bore a gauntlet, and smack in the middle of his chest, was the S-shield.

Conner narrowed his eyes "Who are you?" he asked

At first, the being gave no reply, then he broke out into laughter. Conner froze, that laugh, he had only heard a laugh filled with such insanity one other time. It was not the laugh of a sane man, it was erratic and insane, but this man... he couldn't be.

"Who are you?" Conner asked, clenching his fists

Still laughing, the man removed his helmet, causing Conner's eyes to go wide with shock "No, it can't be, not you."

The man continued to laugh "What's the matter?" He asked, still laughing "Don't you recognize your own brother?"

Conner felt like he was looking at a ghost, the man standing before him had a face exactly like his. Who else would be insane enough to wear the S-shield and mock his father's name.

"Match, is that... that really you?" Conner asked

"Of course it is." Match said, finishing his laugh only after the word "is" left his mouth "Who else would it be?"

"You can talk." Conner said "You couldn't talk before."

Match chuckled "I suppose that is a bit shocking." he agreed "But I can talk now."

"How, you're DNA, it was degrading, your eyes were black. How? Wouldn't you end up like-" Conner started

"Bizarro?" He asked laughing again "I'm much more valuable to my employer in a stable state. In other words 'me do better if me am not stupid.'" he said letting out another blood chilling laugh

"Your employer?" Conner asked

"Yes, he has a job for me to do." Match told him

"And, what job would that be?" Conner asked, a little afraid

Match stopped laughing and eyes began to glow red "Kill you." he said

Before Conner could say anything Match let loose a blast of heat vision, striking him dead in the chest. Conner screamed in pain as he felt his brother blast him with the heat. His knees buckled and hit the ground as the blasts began to penetrate a layer of his skin.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed as his nerves were burned and his skin blackened

"He's stronger than Kara!" Conner realized as the heat beams paralyzed him with pain

Match started laughing again, just like Conner had heard in his nightmare, except instead of frigid cold, he felt searing heat scorching through his skin, and Conner knew that Match would bore straight through him until the beams pierced his heart.

"Why...brother?" Conner choked out

Match just laughed again "Because I wanted to." he said "But the real question is, why not?"

Conner screamed again as he felt his brother pierce another layer of skin faster than he could heal it, causing his brother to laugh louder "This is so much fun, let's see how long you last!"

Conner screams only seemed to give Match pleasure beyond belief "You know, I've been waiting for this moment along time."

Conner's mind was spinning, maybe he could get some information out of him. After all, he was on the verge of death "What do you-GAH-mean?" Conner asked

"You see, after you and you're friends beat up the Justice League, I was extracted from Cadmus." Match explained "After that I was isolated, given extreme security measures, and I was even trained to fear green rocks from Kryptonite exposure so I wouldn't hurt my employers in my feral state. Then my employer began to give me genetic therapy, my genes stabilized, and my physical health was in perfect condition. But that wasn't enough, my mind was still feral, still insane."

"Not much has changed" Conner thought

"I needed something you had but I didn't, something important." Match said

"Which was?" I asked

"Love." Match said, his heat beams weakening for a moment "They gave me a friend. Or rather, they made me a friend."

"They...made you a friend?" Conner asked as he felt the heat vision weaken

"Yes...she's the only one that actually understands me..." Match said

It was now or never, Conner could feel the beams weaken, if he wanted to live he had to make his move now. He charged forward and grabbed Match's face over his eyes, twisted his neck, and threw him off the building. He knew that wouldn't stop him for long, but it would hold him long enough for Conner to access the fortress controls and ditch him.

"Access Master Control" Conner said into the computer systems, turning around and jumping to a nearby building in an attempt to gain distance "Code Red, emergency beam-out to location 0-0-"

But before he could finish, Match intercepted him in mid-air and held him by his neck, crushing his windpipe. He cackled "Surprised?" he asked, his eyes glowing red

"How? Even Dad...wouldn't-" he started

"Did you forget? I was made so Superman could 'meet his Match' I've got a faster healing time than he does." Match said "Now where was I?" Match loosened his grip "Oh that's right. So yes, I received one, true friend. She told me the story I was never told. The story of how my purpose for living, was stolen by you."

Match tightened the grip he had on Conner's neck "You are to replace the Man of Steel should he fall... But when I kill you... I'll replace him... right after I kill him too!" with that Match let out another bone-chilling laugh

Conner surrendered to it, he could not win. Maybe his father could, but he couldn't. He couldn't access the teleporter array because it would risk taking Match with him, not to mention he couldn't finish the activation sequence because he was being strangled.

"Goodbye... little bro" Match said while laughing

Conner closed his eyes, and braced for the end. But then he heard something, his brother screaming. He opened his eyes and saw his brother's face contracting with pain. He looked behind Match and saw the most glorious sight he could ever hope to see.

"Kara!" Conner yelled, joy written all over his face

"Hang on Conner!" his cousin yelled

Unable to hold onto Conner, the Demon dropped his brother as Kara blasted him with heat vision. Taking advantage of Match's distraction, Kara used her super speed and flight to catch her cousin.

"Are you alright?" Kara asked

"No..." Conner admitted placing a hand on his chest "His heat vision is stronger than yours."

"I'll keep that in mind." She said

Conner looked at his cousin and smiled, she was wearing a slightly altered version of his father's super hero attire, a blue top, the s-shield emblazoned on her chest in the original colors his father wore (red and gold), a red skirt, and a cape.

"Supergirl huh?" Conner asked chuckling

Kara shrugged "I thought it was a good idea, and its good that I did. Or you'd be six feet under" she said

Match turned around, having recovered from his moment of weakness, to face the two Kryptonian teenagers "Well, well, well. If it isn't another one of the Superfamily." Match said, an insane look on his face "Guess I'll just have to kill you too!" he screeched, letting out another laugh.

Kara placed Conner on a nearby rooftop "Stay here, I can handle him" she told him

Conner knew that was a lie "No you can't" he told her

She ignored him and flew up so that she was at the same altitude as her demonic cousin.

"Its almost a shame to kill you, after all we're the last of the Kryptonians." Match said laughing again "But oh well, not like you can do anything about it."

Kara's eyes narrowed "Watch me" she challenged

Match smiled "This is gonna be fun!" and lifted his hands into the air

Kara narrowed her eyes and they started to glow red "No one hurts my family and gets away with it, not even you." She told Match

"Bring it on little girl!" he said, his hands starting to glow white

Kara scowled and fired a blast of heat vision at the Demon.

He laughed "I've been wanting to try this out!" he shouted

He brought his hands down in front of him and fired a ray of white light at Kara. Kara dodged the white energy blast, flying beneath it, and fired a blast of heat vision directly at the s-shield on Match's chest. Match screamed out in pain causing Kara to give a confident smile, however her smile quickly faded as Match placed a hand over her line of sight, blocking her heat vision. He raises his free hand and charges another white ray "You're good." He says firing the ray at her "But I'm better."

Kara screams out in pain as her body is engulfed by the light, she stops trying to fly and is merely held there by the strange power Match wields. He starts laughing again, raising his other hand, charging another blast, and firing it at Kara, causing her to scream louder.

"YES! YES!" Match screams "And so falls the last daughter Krypton!"

Conner looked up in fear "No" Conner whispered

"I feel my strength... leaving me." Kara moaned

Match smiled "So THAT'S what this does." He affirmed, cackling again

But before Match could finish the job, he was interrupted by a punch in the head releasing Kara from his grip and sending him flying several feet forwards. Conner's eyes filled with joy once again "DAD!" he yelled. His father looked towards him and smiled, happy to see his son unharmed... mostly. He turned his attention back towards Match.

"So, you're the infamous Match Batman's told me about. Hard to believe what he said was true. I'll admit I'm impressed," Superman said glaring at Match, his eyes glowing red

Match angrily turned around, his eyes also glowing red "I'm so FLATTERED!" Match yelled firing a blast of heat vision at Superman

Superman shook his head "I'll admit it, you're good" he said firing a blast of heat vision that met Match's head on "But you're not the one who's going to make me "meet my match"." He said

Match cackled "I'm better than you are!" he declared

Superman simply said "No Match, I am. You're just another madman." and his heat vision suddenly shot through Match's, striking him dead in the eyes.

"AIEEEEE!" Match screamed in agony "MY EYES!"

Before Superman could move to restrain him, a boom tube opened up behind the Demon and removed him from the area. Although confused, Clark and Kara shrugged off the Demon's absence to check on Conner. Kara flew up to the rooftop where Conner had been standing and she placed a hand on his chest, causing him to wince and let out an 'ow'.

"This is serious." Clark said "Better get you to the medical bay."

Not wishing to argue Conner simply nodded. But when he moved to take a step forward, his world began to spin "What's going on?" he asked, collapsing into his cousin's arms

"Will he be... ok?" Kara asked, worry written all over her face as she shifted him into a more comfortable position for her to carry

Clark looked at his son and sighed "I don't know Kara, I don't know."

"MY EYES!" Match yelled as the boom tube dropped him off at headquarters

After about a minute of yelling Match's eyes healed, and the pain faded away. He blinked a few times, glancing around the room. His eyes finally came to face the members of the light. He looked down, ashamed of his performance.

"I've failed you." He told them "You've wasted time, and money on me and I failed you."

"Non-sense my boy." Ra's Al Ghul said smiling "If anything you've exceeded expectations."

Match looked up in shock "I have?" He asked

"Oh indeed my young friend." Vandal Savage said "Not only did you almost manage to kill Superboy, but if you hadn't been weakened by Supergirl's heat blast, you may have been able to fight her off."

"How can you be so sure?" Match asked

"We've been funding you're recovery my dear boy." Lex said "This was merely a field test."

"And you passed" Ra's Al Ghul said smiling "The results were most favorable."

The door opened and Lela could be seen standing in the doorway "I do believe we are keeping our friend occupied." Queen Bee noted

"Indeed we are." Vandal Savage noted

"Just relax for now Match. I'll be sending some Doctor's over tomorrow morning to preform some tests and make modifications to your life support systems." Lex said

Match nodded "I'm surprised it's still intact" Match noted "It took a direct blast from Supergirl's heat vision."

"It would take quite a bit to dent that thing" Vandal Savage informed him

With that, all members of the light faded from their view screens, and Match turned to face Lela, smiling. The black haired girl ran over to him and wrapped her arms around him, tears streaming off of her face.

"I thought I told you not to get hurt?" She asked him

Match suddenly felt bad "I'm sorry Lela, they were stronger than I thought they would be."

Lela sighed and looked up at him, she reached a hand up and caressed his face "I guess I can't blame you." she reached up and pulled him into a gentle kiss "Come on, let's go to bed."

Match simply nodded and followed suit, not wanting to argue.

Metropolis city, Lex Corp building, Lex Luthor's office

September 13th, 2012, 0:10

Lex Luthor smiled as his view screen of Match faded "What did I tell you? Obedient to a fault." he said

"I'll admit it Lex, I didn't think you'd be able to do it." Klarion said "But hey, that's life for you, never expect anything."

"I'm quite relieved we didn't need to go to the measure's of Queen Bee using her mind control on him." Ra's Al Ghul said

"What's wrong with my method's of control?" Queen Bee asked

"Nothing under normal circumstances... except maybe for-" Ra's started

"The way you talk to your victims is completely inappropriate for us to even consider allowing you to preform your control on this boy." Vandal Savage stated bluntly

"Yeah." Klarion agreed

Queen Bee just glared "And the way he's doing it is any different? I bet the girl emits a Psychic signal that corresponds with a psychic transceiver in the boy's brain, or she has mind control herself! That's why he took so long with the genetic alterations!"

"Nothing so crude." Lex said putting his feet up "That girl was genetically altered for beauty alone.."

"Then how is her influence over the boy so... perfect?" Queen bee asked, intrigued

"Simple, its because he truly believes she is the only one that will accept him, fully and unconditionally, no matter what he does, or how insane he behaves. So he trusts her, listens to her, and obeys her. He's too enamored of her to do anything else." Lex said " And she obey's us, just like we programmed her to, and we've arranged it so that they've spent virtually every moment together since his genetic therapy ended, they even sleep together. We have almost total control over the boy through her."

"You don't keep camera's in that room right?" Klarion asked

Everyone glared at him "What? I'm just saying it would be inappropriate, Lord Of Chaos not Lord of Perversion."

Ra's Al Ghul said "He raises a fair point."

Lex laughed "We don't need camera's. There's no need. Besides, Lela is programmed against that kind of relationship. She believes true intimacy is spiritual."

"Well then. I'm sure we can count on both of their help in the future." Vandal said, raising a glass of wine "To the light."

"To the light." The other members echoed

Watch Tower, Medical Bay

September 13th, 2012, 2:00

Conner woke up gasping for air and noticed two things, a respirator attached to his mouth and bandages wrapped around his chest. He looked to his left and saw Kara and his father standing next to him and talking to Martian Manhunter.

"Hey Guys, what's going on?" Conner asked

"Conner!" Kara yelled flying over to him "How are you feeling?"

"Like there's a giant gaping hole in chest." Conner stated bluntly

"We'll talk later J'onn." Superman said

Martian Manhunter nodded and flew away.

"What was J'onn doing here?" Conner asked

"He brought me." a familiar voice said

Conner turned his head to the right and smiled "Hello M'gann"

The martian smiled "How're you?"

Conner tried to sit up but felt pain shoot through his body "Pretty bad."

M'gann's face saddened "I know..."

Kara sensed M'gann's discomfort "Hey, he's a Kryptonian, he'll be back on his feet in no time, just give him some yellow sun energy and he'll be better in no time." she said smiling

"No, he won't be." Batman said walking in

"What do you mean?" M'gann asked, fearfully

"He's only half Kryptonian M'gann, he's going to be off duty for a while, at least until he recovers from those injuries." Batman said

"Will he be able to leave the station?" Kara asked, worried about her cousin

"Conner will be able to attend school tomorrow." Batman said "But only if you let him sleep now."

M'gann and Kara nodded, the two of them flew over to the Zeta tubes "Recognize: Supergirl B09 Recognize: Miss Martian B05" The computer said

The Teen of Steel smiled "You registered her?" He asked, looking at his father

Clark nodded "She's scheduled to join the Team tomorrow." He told Conner "Seeing as how you've been taken out of commission for awhile, perhaps it was a good thing too."

Conner nodded then he stared out the window, his gaze falling upon Earth "Batman lied didn't he." Conner asked

"Yes, he did." Superman said "You're going to be here for several days Conner, we don't know exactly how long, or how bad the damage is. And you may be in a wheel chair for a couple of days."

Conner looked up at him, confused "But I thought-" Conner started

Clark put a hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry, but since you're only half Kryptonian you're body may be as invulnerable as mine, but it heals much, much slower, and from a wound like this... we just don't know."

Conner nodded his eyes fluttering "Hey Dad... I'm kinda tired."

Clark smiled "Its ok Conner, sleep, you deserve it."

With that, the Boy of tomorrow closed his eyes and drifted off into peaceful sleep. His father clenched a fist, if he ever got his hands on Match... he would kill him. Ok, maybe he was being a little melodramatic, but he wanted closure, this was his family we were talking about, he wasn't just going to stand back and let another deranged psychopath threaten the people that mean the most to him.

Batman walked up to the Man of Steel and placed a hand on his shoulder "Its going to be alright Clark." Batman told him "He's hurt, not dead."

"... is this what it feels like when one of your kids are put in a cast?" Clark asked the Dark Knight

"...yes." Batman admitted "Most often with the Joker. So I know what it's like to have a deranged psychopath after your family."

Superman chuckled "I guess so." He said standing up "I'm going back to Metropolis to finish Kara's transfer papers. Ask Hal to cover for Monitor duty tonight."

"Hal's been recalled to Oa." Batman said "I'll take over for you"

Superman smiled "Thanks Bruce." He said heading for the Zeta tubes, but then he stopped mid-flight "What's Hal doing on Oa?"

Oa, Chamber of the Guardians

September 13th, 2012, 3:00

"Welcome, Hal Jordan, Green Lantern of Sector 2814." The Guardians said, almost in unison, as Hal Jordan entered the chamber

"Good to be here, now if only someone could tell me why I was here." Hal asked

"Its time we told you the truth." A guardian said

"The truth? What do you mean?" Hal asked

"Years ago, when you were chosen to be Abin Sur's replacement. There were two other individuals on Earth that could've been chosen as Lanterns in your place." The guardians told him

"Yeah, John Stewart and Guy Gardner." Hal said

"That is correct." The Guardians confirmed

"Well then I don't see what the big deal is?" Hal said, shrugging "They both already have Lantern rings."

"What we did not tell you is that there was a fourth member of your race, who could become a Lantern." They said

"What?" Hal asked in shock

"He had not reached the state of maturity that the ring requires in order to choose a lantern. He has since reached that state, and is ready to don a ring." The Guardians told him

"Well then we gotta get this guy a ring and bring him to Oa." Hal suggested, waving his arms in the air

"We had initially planned to, however, a Lantern recently died in sector 2814, and his ring is already headed to Earth, for the one chosen to become a Green Lantern." The Guardian's explained "You need to head back to Earth before the ring reaches him, we don't know how much time you have before he finds him."

"He?" Hal asked "You mean-"

"Indeed, Sinestro will no doubt target this young lantern... and not hesitate to either eliminate him, or recruit him into the Sinestro Corp." The lantern's said fearful

"Alright" Hal said levitating a few feet into the air "What's this boy's name?"

"Kyle Rayner." They said "And if we are correct, he may turnout to be the most powerful Green Lantern we have ever seen."
