********************

It was raining in New York. It always rained in New York. At least, it did lately. It wasn't a particularly heavy rain, it was more of a light drizzle, but a constant drizzle, and the dark clouds never seemed to leave the skies of the metropolis. Meterologists couldn't explain exactly why the weather patterns had become so erratic, and especially over this particular spot of the east coast of America. It was summer time, and constant downpoars like this wern't supposed to happen. Still, they constantly claimed that "winds would shift", and that "it would soon pass"

It never did.

That is because this particular storm was apart from nature. A man controlled it. That is, if a man can control the weather. Few knew him as he was nearly always alone, and fewer still knew why he was alone, why he spent most of his time with books, or searching out obscure internet sites. Even had they known what this man was doing, no-one would know to look at him.

The rain was bad, but things had gotten slightly worse over the last couple of days. There was the odd report of small, half-seen creatures in alleys, gargoyles that moved, and even one of spontanious combustion. But, as with most unexplanable things in the big city, they were put down to tired minds and general phenomena, and left for "paranormal investigators" to look at.

Not that they did.

And through all of the happenings, the man laughed. And something else laughed with him.

********************

It was happening again. The alarms were blazing, and people were running down corridors to and from armoury stations. Jack groaned as he sat up in bed and looked at his watch. 8:32. Another day, another 4 hours sleep. This was really starting to annoy him.

Clambering out of bed, Jack pulled his jumpsuit on over his athletic frame. With the constant attacks all over the world, luxurious clothing had become a comodity in high demand, and military types like him had to make do with the basics. Strapping a holster to his hip, he picked up an old six-shooter off of his bedside stand. It had served him well in the past. Flicking open the chamber, he counted the bullets. 6. Excellent. Fully loaded. He'd give those alien freaks something to think about if he had to get up close and personal.

Opening his dorr, he sprinted off down toward strategic command. He didn't need to get there this time, however, as the corridor shook. "Damn Venemoids. Don't they know how to sleep?!" Turning, he saw something that filled him with both terror and anger. A huge claw had burst through the wall, and impaled a young woman in the side of her head. "Shit! They're here?! This is bad!"

Breaking into a sprint, Jack hurredly made his way to weapon storage delta, and to something he knew he'd use to make these freaks pay dearly!

The door slid open with a hiss. A the far end of the room, Jack saw it. His teknoarmour. Oh yeah! Now he'd make 'em pay good! Looking up, however, there was a crack forming in the ceiling. That definatly wasn't good! Darting over to the armour, he hastilly climbed inside, the armoured environment combat suit closing and locking in place. A mere second later, the systems came online, and he stepped off of the storage platform. "Time to blast you back to..." Jack's idle comment faded as everything went white.

**

Blinking, Jack tried to clear the spots from his eyes. "Damn freaks! What sort of trick was..." Again, he stopped mid sentance. What was this? He wasn't in the weapon storage bay anyomre, nor was he even anywhere near strategic command! He was out, in the open. Looking around, the tecknoarmour's advanced sensors could detect lifesigns nearby. But they wern't Venomoid. They were human. That was very stange. Humans? In the open? On a farm? Panicking slightly, Jack activated his radio. "Teknosoldier 5 to strategic command. Come in please, over". Nothing. Without warning, a soft voice entered his mind. It was gentle, yet commanding. {you must stop them all}

"Oh. Swell"
 
It was a fine day in Metropolis. Not too hot, with a slight breeze blowing through the city. Clark Kent stepped out of the taxi and bounded up the steps of The Daily Planet. He stopped briefly at the small cafe inside the foyer and got a cup of coffee. It was the taste, he knew. The caffiene did nothing for him. He supposed he drank it because he had first become accustomed to the stuff at the Talon in Smallville.

He stepped out of the elevator when he reached the office floor. He said his usual good mornings and headed into his cubicle. He was about to sit down when Lois Lane burst into his little alcove.

"Smallville," she shouted in her usual greeting, "where have you been?!"

Kent looked at her with a shrug, "At home?" he replied.

She shook her head. "God, you don't even read your own paper!" And she threw the early morning copy down on his desk. He read it, word-for-word, faster than any man should have been able to. The paper column detailed something about Earth being under attack. Metropolis's sister city, New York, was already feeling the effects of a strange weather phenomenon. And strange creatures had started showing up all over the globe.

Kent stood up and started to leave.

"Where are you going?" Lois asked.

Kent stopped, and turned to face her. "There's something I have to do," he said in a completely serious tone. Lois looked at him with a raised eyebrow, but didn't utter a word.

Kent didn't leave by the elevator. He opened a window in an empty break room. Stripping off his suit and tie, he was no longer Clark Kent. Instead, he was his true self......the Last Son of Krypton...Kal-El.....the one the world knew as Superman.

He dove out the window, but instead of the streets below him, there was an incredibly blinding whiteness. And then, Kal-El was no longer in Metropolis. That much he knew, as he landed softly in a field. There were others around him. At first, the place he stood looked much like his home farm in Kansas. But the air didn't feel right, the gravity was slightly different, and Superman knew the molecular structure of some of the things around him wasn't quite the same. He was no longer on Earth.

{You must stop them all}.

Superman looked around him, to the sky above, and listened again. The voice was inside his head. He shook his head slightly, yet he could still feel it there.

There was an armored warrior of some type not far from where he stood. The Man of Tomorrow willed himself into the air and headed for the armored man. Perhaps he had some answers?

A warning light flashed on Jack's HUD, alerting him to an incomming lifeform of undertermined origin. Whatever it was, it was moving in fast. Combat reflexes taking over, he activated his shoulder-mounted cannon systems and spun around, searching for the target. He didn't have to look far.

Ther was a man. Hovering. In the air. Without the use of equipment! Even the Teknomen couldn't do that without being tecknomorphed! Was this soe sort of new trick by the Vemonoids? No. No it can't be. The man was clothed, although a tad strangely, and the Venomoids didn't use clothing at all. Hesitant to remove the targeting lock, Jack spoke up. "That's far enough friend. Who are you, and how the hell are you floating like that!"
 
The Man of Steel regarded the armor-encased one with a nod of his head. Clearly, the suit was some type of battle armor. Superman was aware of the weapons now targeting him.

"Easy," Superman said, "I come in peace." Now that sounded original. He smiled, almost laughing at himself. "My name is Kal-El, and I am the last survivor of Krypton. My home is Earth, where I was until I came to be here". Superman looked around. "Where ever 'here' is," he gestured. He hovered a bit closer. Superman used his hyper-sensitive vision to take in all aspects of the suit. It was a strange alloy, far superior to anything he had encountered before.

He offered his hand to Jack. "People call me 'Superman'," he said.
 
Jack waited for a second before deactivating his weapon system. The shoulder cannon flipped back and locked into blace behind him. From what Jack's suit sensors told him, this 'super-man' could probably tear through his Teknoarmour if he wanted to. He sighed and relaxed, reaching out and shaking the man of steel's hand.

"My name's Jack. And, uhh, I'm not from around here. I mean, I'm from Earth, just.... uhhh... not this one. I think. That is, of course, if what I'm guessin' is right"
 
Superman watched as the armored suit's canon retracted. The Man of Steel was impressed with the technology. The Kryptonian scientist in him wondered how the suit was powered. He could have scanned the suit with his x-ray vision, but to do so would have probably triggered the suit's sensors, and he had no wish to alarm his new friend.

Kal-El regarded Jack's statement for a moment. He nodded his head.

"Then both you and I were obviously brought here for a reason," he stated. "There again, where ever 'here' is." Superman turned a complete circle, and when he once again faced Jack, he seemed to be looking beyond him. Superman placed his palms out to his sides and closed his eyes. "Vibrations in the space/time continuum...shifting out of phase..very similar to what I felt before I came here. I think others are coming," he told Jack.
