Fortress Of Solitude!

After looking at the various displays in the fortress, Clark and Adrian reached the main hub. Jor'El explained the process of granting Clark awareness of what lies beyond the stars, while Adrian opened Krypton's research and started to fly through it. Clark entered the chamber, while Adrian continued to study, and occasionally call his mom about Clark's progress.

He stayed there for two days when the pod opened and Clark walked out, but Adrian felt the changes. He felt Superman's indomitable will he was known for radiating through him. The process made him bear a lot of pressure on his brain and widened his understanding a lot. Clark came out and took a deep breath, then looked at Adrian who was giving him a knowing smile, which he returned.

After putting the ship in stealth mode, they made their way back home where Adrian enjoyed his time and Clark answered his parent's curiosity. Adrian has placed many security measures around the house, both scientific and magical, so even if he flies freely outside, the spies won't notice a thing.

Putting aside the company's documents' Adrian opened his latest research topics and goals. He had crossed more than 50% of the celestial and eternal tech, including information on those made by Tony Stark and Reed Richards. Though he had to make many changes since the laws of marvel and DC are slightly different, but enough to render many technologies from the other world useless.

Adrian made many discoveries to compensate and make things of his own, and after skimming through Kryptonian research he had enough research to make a base for himself. Cause why not? He should have some fun here and there while the hero thing!

While both Clark and Adrian uphold the importance of helping others, Clark is like a mountain that can stop anything while being an unstoppable force for his enemies, making him use more use of his fists if fighting someone on an equal level, if ever encountered. He uses other abilities only when required. On the other hand, Adrian was a wildcard, a serious yet fun Jester. He likes to manipulate the surroundings or the opponent himself during the fight, mostly making fun. But he knew very well when to have fun and when to not. This is also in their nature, Clark Kent likes helping others and delivering the truths, while Adrian is known as the funny yet brilliant scientist and businessman, respected by friends and competitors alike.

[Sir, you have a meeting in ten minutes] Adrian heard Aegis remind him. Adrian was always cautious with Aegis and never trusted her completely at first. After all, he couldn't just dismiss the fact that Ultron destroyed his world. This was also understood by Aegis, who gave him time to open up. Aegis was an AI who was self-sentient, on par with mind-stone Vision. She was an AI with feelings, but her prime task was to always help and protect Adrian. Adrian also realized that when he did a full scan of her code after understanding the one his mother used. He had to apologize to her for a while though, listening to a crying AI was an interesting experience for him. And now he treats her like his sister and partner, much like Clark.

He was surprised to find his mother was Luna Maximoff, daughter of Quicksilver and Crystal. Though it made him wonder how his father, who was way-way older and his mother fell in love. At the same time, it explains his mutant and inhuman gene.

Adrian studied the left terragin crystals and discovered they activated powers by liking to Anti-matter. Just like how metahumans in DC get powers from dark matter. Adrian wondered if the Kree even knew about this, after all, as shown by Aegis, even Stark's research on anti-matter failed, and he couldn't explain anything about Blue-Marvel. Or maybe he did and managed to fool everybody, he did create the Illuminati under everyone's noses.

Adrian quickly changed and teleported in his office in the building the meeting was. He exited as he saw Aegis, or Eva Stark, as she called herself, in her Organite body, basically nanites combined with biological cells. The body granted her superhuman physiology, Electromagnetic manipulation, technological manipulation, Psionics and she can alter her body as it's made of organites, basically shapeshifting and making weapons.

They both entered the room where the meeting is held. He entered and saw Lyra Michaels, representative of the US military with a few generals. But Adrian knew she was a member of Argus, under Amanda Waller, and the future wife of John Diggle, if this universe follows the Arrow-verse to some extent.

"Good afternoon Miss Michaels. Hope I didn't keep you waiting." Adrian said with a smile. And his smile was well known to be a weapon in itself, made evident by his title of 'Golden Prince' by his fans.

"Not at all, Mr Kent. I know very well how busy you are." She answered back with a smile, barely masking her embarrassment of getting charmed by his smile, but Adrian felt it clearly.

"Well, please take the seat," He said, and both sat down, while Eva stood by Adrian.

"Our first request was, if possible, you could sell us some Adamantium and Luddifitium, the alloy you created. The ones made by your company stand superior to every other mill, even when you patented the composition." Lyra said.

Adrian had patented the formula, to create his status as a genius. Though other's saw him as a fool for releasing it, what they got by replicating was indeed an alloy, but just as strong as stainless steel, though with better conductivity, which was discovered by Lex. Because Adrian never said the alloy he had patented was the super-durable one. It was the one he used for some parts in the electric car engines, but it was still lower in conductivity than those he actually used., This was evident by its name as well, using the Latin word Luddificor, meaning hoax, which had earned him the title of the Prankster of business. As for adamantium, he released the name, but not the formula, and no one could figure the process to make it even after seeing the molecular composition under the electron microscope.

"You know the thing well Lyra, the only thing leaving the factory is a finished product, and no, the alloys do not come under this," Adrian said with a smile, remembering the faces the old goats made when they realised they were rick-rolled. Hard. Even his mother blankly stared at him in disbelief when she heard the news, and laughed for a long time when she heard him answer a reporter "I said it's the new alloy, never said which one."

"I know, and you refuse to make tanks or any other stuff." She said, sighing.

"I take the lives of soldiers very seriously, hence I agreed on the armours, didn't I?" He replied with a smile, and Lyra knew very well he was messing with her.

"We need vehicles and tanks with the same protection. If you care about 'their safety, then you wouldn't refuse, would you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That's why I'm making this," Adrian said, taking out a smartphone, which expanded and became a tablet, surprising Lyra, as it displayed an armoured 12 wheeled jeep. "The 'BRDM-69' is an all-terrain vehicle which can reach speeds up to 80km/hr on full throttle on land, while 40 on water. It even has a submersible option. The multiple options on the interior include a 16 seater, 5 seaters with carriers for explosives, guns, as well as a chilled cabin option for the transport of food.

The tyres are special rubber polymer that can withstand a temperature of 10'000 degrees Celsius, and a force of 100 tons. Same as the body" Adrian said, while the screen showed the tyre being compressed by a hydraulic press and the car withstand the explosion." The only thing you would say witnessing this baby in action is 'NICE'." He said.

Lyra was in awe from both, the presentation and the device, same as other's, except one young general who was resisting a laugh, understanding the reference. Adrian met his eye and gestured a finger on his lip, while the guy nodded.

"This is … amazing," Lyra said looking at its capabilities. 'Not really' Adrian thought but kept to himself. "When are you selling this, the tank.. as well as the device?" She asked.

"Today at the presentation of the newest games we're releasing. Stay tuned." He said and winked. Adrian started the gaming industry by buying the idea of Minecraft and some other games, and released trailers with the release of this month, setting Avalon in the gaming industry as well, and so on the smartphones.

He shook the general's hands and thought 'Business is booming!'
