Chapter 4
Lorcan sighed as he cuddled into the younger version of his ieiu.
After his mom (Lena) had learnt of the fact that her son from the future had been injured, she had a mini freak out session where his ieiu had to tell her that he was completely fine now seeing as he'd been resting under the sun lamps.
"So Lorcan, how did you even end up in the past?" Lena had asked, being very curious about how he'd time traveled.
"Well I was fighting one of my usual rogues named Portal, he has abilities a lot like Uncle Cisco." Lorcan started off.
He saw that his mom looked quite confused at the mention of Cisco but his ieiu was nodding along, as if she knew exactly what he was talking about.
"Who's Cisco?" Lena had asked quite curiously. Seeing that Kara was nodding along as if she knew exactly who their future son was talking about.
"I keep forgetting that our Earth's aren't merged and that uncle Cisco and aunt Felicity doesn't collaborate with Mom on certain projects yet." Lorcan said with a whine to his voice.
It was Kara who decided to take pity on the older Luthor seeing as she looked wildly out of place in this conversation.
"Cisco is a friend from Earth 1, he's got powers that allow him to open portals, see into the future or other versions of you, and open portals to other Earths. He works primarily with team Flash, and is known as Vibe." Kara explained.
Lena nodded along, deciding that she'd get more information out of Kara later on, when their son wasn't in the room.
"So yeah, I was fighting Portal, and normally that's a simple task you know? He's not the smartest of the rogues, but then, out of literally no where as we're in the middle of a fight he pulls out a kryptonite gun, he ended up shooting me twice directly to the chest, and he opened up a portal directly underneath me, last thing I remember is my ieiu rushing to grab me before the portal closed. Now this hasn't been the first time I've gotten stuck in one of his portals, but this is the first time that I've time traveled without the help of a speedster or aunt Sara's and the legend's time ship the waverider." Lorcan said with a small sigh.
Meanwhile his mothers were staring at him with wide eyes, trying to digest everything that he had just told them.
It was a lot to take in, not only was their son apparently also a hero, but he was one so young.
"Wait, how did I let you become a hero so young?" Kara was the one to ask.
She knew that she'd wanted to be a hero from the moment she learnt of Clark being Superman, but no one had pet her, and probably wouldn't have let her until she forcibly outed herself to the world to save Alex's plane oh so many years ago.
It honestly felt like a life time ago to Kara if she was being honest with herself.
But truly it had only been two and a half years.
"Well, all heroes have proteges now a days. Like uncle Bruce has Dick, Barbara, Jason, Tim, Stephanie, Cass, Duke, and Damian to help out in Gotham, Jump City, and Blodhaven. Cass also helps out in Hong Kong from time to time. Aunt Diana has help from Donna and Cassie all around Europe. Uncle Barry has a uncle Cisco, aunt Caitlin, aunt Iris, uncle Wally, and then Nora and Bart to help out in Central City. Uncle Ollie (in my version Oliver doesn't die to create Earth Prime, instead he, Kara, Barry, and Sara equally created the new universe using their life force, which means no one died) has uncle Roy, aunt Thea, uncle Diggle, aunt Laurel, aunt Felicity, William, Mia, Connor, and Olivia (Laurel is alive, she is with Oliver like in the comics). And of course the Legends are teaching their kids to take over for them when they decide to retire. You yourself have mom, aunt Alex, grampa J'onn, aunt Sam, aunt Nia, uncle Brainy, Ruby, and of course me. And the uncle Clark has Jonathan and Conner. All of us started out young, but we have teams of our own, or are always with some adult hero to keep an eye on us. I only just started hero work about a year ago." Lorcan rambled on and on.
Reminding Lena fondly of Kara when she was trying to get her point across. Though he was also shocked because some of those names were extremely recognizable, even in this Earth.
Of course quite a few billionaires were super heroes too.
Cause why not?
"Wait me? Since when did I become a hero?" Lena asked her son with shock in her voice.
"Well you've always been a hero mom, your magic is extremely strong against quite a lot of our alien advisories." Lorcan said without thinking.
His parents hadn't yet told him of the fact that his mom Lena didn't always know that she had magic. It just had never come up in casual conversation.
Lena and Kara's eyes widened at the unintentional spoiler that Lorcan had just spilled out of his mouth as is Lena having magic was common knowledge, and that they should have known this already.
"I have magic?" Lena asked in shock disbelief.
Lorcan looked up at his mom with confusion on his face.
"Of course you do, how else do you think I'm half wizard and half Kryptonian? Because of your DNA, I don't have as much of a weakness against magic as other Kryptonians. Though my weakness against kryptonite is much worse due to every being having to have some type of weakness. Kryptonite hurts as much as if I was a full Kryptonian as opposed to being the half Kryptonian that I am." Lorcan said.
Kara winced, knowing just how terrible kryptonite felt. She gave her son a sympathetic look when she saw him running his chest where he was injured previously.
"Huh." Is all Lena could say to that. She had no idea how to process that info bomb, she'd have to ask him about that later on.
...
After the massive info dump from Lorcan, the three headed out of the sun room and headed towards the main command center.
As soon as Lorcan stepped into the room, he saw his aunt Sam there who had wide eyes and was staring at him as if he were the eighth wonder of the world.
Of course Lorcan, gaining the friendly, trusting, and excitable qualities from his mom immediately gave her the patented Sunny Danvers smile as he surged forward to bring her into a hug.
"Aunt Sam! Is Ruby here?" Lorcan asked as he looked around for his favorite cousin, who is normally always around when his aunt Sam is, unless she was out and about with patrolling or hanging with her friends.
Sam just couldn't stop staring at him, then towards his moms, and then towards him again with the same wide eyes that she always spotted when she was in shock.
When she finally seemed to gain her bearings, all she said was "Oh God there's two of them." With a look that seemed a mix of horror and pity as she looked at his mom and aunt Alex.
Lorcan furrowed his eyebrows, a crinkle forming between the crease of his forehead, one that all of his siblings seemed to have gained, as he and his ieiu shot identical offended looks towards his aunt Sam and gave indignant "Hey what's that supposed to mean?" Complaints in complete unison which sent a shiver of dread down Alex, Sam, and Lena's spines.
"Good luck Luthor." Alex said with a small smirk.
Lorcan gave the world famous Danvers pout as he sighed, wishing that Olivia was here. Olivia Lance-Queen was his best friend, and his secret crush. She and him were only three days apart in birth, with Olivia being slightly older than him.
They'd grown up dreaming of being a hero duo, Krypton Knight and the Emerald Canary, they'd promised to marry one another when they were 3 years old, something which their parents found funny at the time, but as they grew older, their closeness never diminished and honestly, Lorcan was missing her at a time like this.
She'd know exactly what to do in his situation.
"Luthor, how did you conceive a mini Kara?" Sam asked with a smirk on her face.
Lena threw her hands up in the air exasperatedly.
Though secretly she found the idea of Lorcan being like Kara to be quite adorable.
"Don't worry mom, Alura is exactly like you. And then Elizabeth is more of a combo between you and ieiu." Lorcan tried to reassure her.
This information only causes everyone else to freeze in shock once again. "Three kids?" Lena mumbled to herself.
"I'm really not good at this time travel stuff." Lorcan said with mortification on his face.
Curse him and his ieiu for having loose lips!
He really needed to learn when to keep his mouth shut, but he'd always been someone who talked freely whenever his family was around.
He was taught that he could talk about anything he needed to get off of his chest, especially during stressful situations like the one he's in now.
Hopefully his parents wouldn't be too angry at him when they'd eventually came to rescue him. They'd have their memories erased anyways, so there's no point in not giving them some future knowledge.
And if something truly goes wrong, his aunt Sara will fix it.
"How about we get you settled at my place and we can start figuring out how to start getting you home." Lena said.
Lorcan nodded, that would be preferable if he was being honest with himself.
He missed his home back in his time. Being in the past wasn't as fun as he ever thought it could be.
