Billionaire Boys Club

Unpleasant Revelations

Deep in the Artic Circle the AI blinked to life. Reading the data sent it almost puzzled the results. Kal El was proving himself to be a most interesting subject. The last son of Krypton had chosen his consorts wisely.

“Return to me Kal El,” It intoned. “You shall see what you have wrought.”

~o)0*0(o~

There was a meeting at Lex’s penthouse in Metropolis. It wasn’t a usual event and power brokers around the world trembled when they found out that Alexander Luthor, Bruce Wayne and Oliver Queen were alone, together. They would also been relieved when they realized the topic of discussion was nothing about their companies.

“I don’t get it. I just don’t!” Oliver ranted as he paced. “There Tiffany is, gorgeous, blonde, T n A to die for and so willing I could cry and I couldn’t get it up if I took a month’s supply of Viagra. I have a reputation that I am failing at miserably since I haven’t been able to get it up for the last eight months!”

The other two just listened to the rant with sympathetic eyes. It seemed that what ever had happened all of them were affected. Actually, they could pin it down to one instance and they were sure that despite his verbosity, so could Oliver.

This was all Clark’s fault.

While this was an unusual thought for Bruce, it was a far too comfortable groove for Lex. They had a few conversations about this exact subject, Lex would blame and Bruce would explore. The reason they were here was that Bruce had finally found a legitimate medical reason.

“There’s foreign genetic material in mine and Lex’s blood.” He announced.

“Well that’s a news flash!” Ollie batted back. “I’ve known about it for six months, but it went away and that doesn’t explain why I can’t get hard around a beautiful girl!”

“Well, you can get hard, but my calculations point out the fact that you can only get hard for exactly three people.”

“What the hell are you talking about, and how would you know?”

“Lex and I experimented.”

“Perfect, you two ‘experiment’ your little brains out and I’m stuck out in the cold.”

Bruce exchanged glances with Lex and started, “At this point and time I’ve looked at all three samples of our genetic codes,” He ignored Oliver’s sputtering. “And it seems that we have all changed in some fundamental way from the basic human genome.”

“Stop breaking into my labs!”

“You’re lucky I did. The foreign DNA never left your system, I replaced all your samples with older specimens. If I hadn’t you’d be locked away somewhere in a laboratory while there were experiments of a far harsher nature taking place.”

“One of these days you and I are going to have a talk about your ‘extra curricular’ activities. They keep interfering with my business and it’s getting annoying.” Oliver Queen was nobody’s fool despite the act he put on. “You’re saying that Clark changed us somehow.”

“I’m not sure of anything until I get a hold of his blood to measure it against ours, but yes, that is what I am saying. At this point.”

Ollie turned to Lex, “This is all your fault. If you hadn’t done the whole ‘love turned to hate’ thing I’d be on a beach in Australia sipping a Mai Tai with whatever flavor of the month.”

“No, this is all Clark’s fault, and he isn’t even here to take the blame!”

“See, there you go again!” Ollie yelled. “This whole thing was an agreement! One love, one hate, and one neutral for the greatest amount of excitement, you said. It’s a no lose situation, you said. That was the idea you put out there, and now look at us! We’re all gay!”

The snort of laughter from the window of the penthouse had three head whipping around. Clark had finally shown up and was nearly breathless with laughter. It seemed the last person of this little quadrangle had shown up, and they were entertaining him. Good thing looks couldn’t kill.

“God, I could hear you three from the Arctic Circle.” He said when he got his chuckles under control.

“Is that where you’ve been hiding?” Lex’s voice was ice. “I was getting tired of turning over rocks.”

“Oh stop that.” He chided. “I would have been back earlier, but it was time for my training.”

“What? You couldn’t leave a note? ‘Dear Ollie, sorry I fucked up any chance at a normal relationship, but I’ll be back when I feel like it.’ Gee, doesn’t that make us special?”

“Actually, right now you three are the most special beings on the planet.”

“Let me guess,” Bruce interjected. “Because you made us this way.”

“Kinda,” Clark shrugged. “You guys might want to get some winter wear. It’s cold where we’re going.”

“I’m not going anywhere.” Lex stood defiant.

He blinked and realized that Clark was deep inside his personal space.

“Lex you will get that coat, provide the others with one and you will do as I say for once in your miserable life or I will force you to do it anyway, and Lex? You don’t want me to force you.”

The dangerous edge was back. There were definite pheromones in the air as each man readjusted themselves, mouths dry. Clark as the alpha male was a sight to behold, an incredibly hot sight to behold. They did as they were told.

The fact that Clark could fly was interesting, the height and speed of that flight left them breathless, but it was the Fortress that left them in total shock. The palace of ice and light was a sight very few had ever seen, and if the AI had it’s way, no one else would ever see it. Kal El had his mates, and his memory of the lost planet. He would behave as a proper Kryptonian should.

“Clark, would you like to explain what this is?” Lex asked.

“Umm, the latest in alien-ware programming?” He said sheepishly.

“You’re an alien? I don’t know why, but I want to call you a liar. I can see it, see what you do, but I still don’t want to believe it. It feels so odd, and yet fantastic at the same time. Are there more of you? Where did you come from? What is this place? Why didn’t you tell me? Are you the more intelligent? Do you know of any other races?”

“Lex!” Clark had to yell to stop the rapid fire questions. “We kind of have a lot of time, you might want to take it slow and really process the information as it comes. If you want me to start with those we’ll take them one at a time.

“The AI calls me the Last Son of Krypton, but that’s not exactly true anymore. There are the Phantom Zone people and some others. Obviously I come from the planet Krypton, but it exploded when I was an infant. Yes, we are the more advanced race, but I wouldn’t necessarily call us the more intelligent, after all the planet blew up. There are more races out there, but they’ll probably find us before we find them, but the AI is keeping an eye out. And lastly, welcome to the new Fortress of Solitude.”

Lex glared at him, “That is no where near enough information.”

“No, but you can tell the AI how unfair it is while you’re in the MER box.”

“Woah, what is a MER box, and why the hell are we getting in one?” Ollie protested.

“MER stands for Medical Emergency and Resuscitation. No, you’re not dying or anything.” He forestalled the questions and protests. “The AI just needs to do a check up, and get you three into the system.”

“Clark, man, I love you and all, but I’m not into freaky alien experimentation.”

“Coming from Kansas I can assure you that people are unconscious at the start of any experimentation, and wake up half way through.” He said straight faced, “Therefore you are in no danger since I brought you here and you’re all awake. What, no protests, Lex?”

“What can I say?” He shrugged. “You had me at AI.”

“What about you, Bruce?” He looked to see a blank space. “Oops, lost one. Lara?” He called.

“The one with the electric signal of Bruce is attempting to access my programming through the corridor panels.”

“Is he actually getting anywhere?” He asked curiously.

“He has not made any real headway, but shows some progress. You have chosen well with this one, Kal El.”

“I chose well in all of them.”

“We shall see.”

“Who’s Kal El?” Ollie asked.

“I did come here as a baby,” He said rolling his eyes. “That means I had two sets of parents.”

“Does your computer have a problem with us?” Lex asked.

“Well, Lara will reserve judgment, just be glad that Jor El isn’t putting his two cents in. He wanted me to take over the world and remake it into the Kryptonian society. Then again he had been corrupted by the Brainiac program, but either way he’s gone now.

“Hold on a minute,” He zipped out and grabbed Bruce. “Good, now that we’re where all where we belong we can go to the MER, and get you all checked out.”

He took all three of them and flew to a wall of man-sized black boxes. At the Kryptonian command word three of them opened. The interior held a padded bottom, but no other comforts.

“You’re sure this is safe?” Ollie asked.

“You didn’t turn us into Kryptonians, did you?” Bruce said suspiciously.

“Of course not, I would never do something like that to my bonded.” He protested.

“Bonded how?”

Clark winced. Lex was too quick for his own good sometimes.

“The question was simple, so don’t you dare try playing the farm boy now. Because, if you decided to lose your mind and marry three grown men in an alien ceremony without asking them words will not describe what I will do to you. You might even say I’m beginning to empathize with my homicidal ex-wives.”

“He’s not the only one.” Bruce joined in.

“C’mon, guys! This is Clark, Mr. All American… kinda. He wouldn’t do anything like that.” Ollie turned to him, “Would you?”

“No! I would never do anything like that.” He started. “Kal El, on the other hand, has different priorities.”

“See, I… What do you mean Kal El has different priorities? You’re Kal El!”

“Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. He’s my Kryptonian side.”

“Clark, you are going to start talking now, and I mean right now, or this little farce of a marriage will end with a glowing green arrow right up your ass!”

“We’re not married,” He protested. “We’re bonded.”

“My stocks are going to plummet. I can see the headlines now ‘Oliver Queen Takes Brides! Find out how the business mogul married his two bisexual lovers and an alien in secret ceremony!’ That will go over well with the share holders.”

“Why would you get top billing?” Bruce asked.

“Because I’m the best looking.” He deadpanned.

Lex rubbed a hand over his face, “Clark/Kal El, what ever you are, maybe you should explain exactly what this bond entails. The words bond, bonded and other derivations are used in several ceremonies marriage being one of them!”

“Well, since you divorced all of your ex-wives, I don’t think that being bonded means the same thing!”

Have you ever noticed that silence can be heard from outer space?

“What exactly does that mean?” Bruce’s voice was low and mean.

“Um, that it’s a Kryptonian thing?”

“That is not an answer.” Lex ground out.

“Well, there are lots of good things, we share our strengths now. You are all faster and more powerful now. Lex and I share the ability to heal so none of us will get sick. Things like that.”

“So we are all Kryptonians now.” Ollie said.

“No, I’m still the only full alien here. You are yourself with enhancements.”

“Then there are others here that are partial aliens here on Earth?”

Looks like Bruce was just as fast as Lex, Clark winced. “Yes.”

“From Krypton?” Ollie caught the wince.

“No?”

“Are you asking us? Because the last time I checked you had the answers here, not us.” Lex attacked.

“Any questions you have can be asked after you have been examined.” Kal was sick of waiting for his weaker half to placate their bonded.

“Kal El, I presume?” Lex guessed.

“You may address me as Kal. El is the name of my father’s clan, and as my bonded it would be ridiculous for you to keep such distance between us. That was the last question I will answer until you are examined.”

All three men found themselves in the boxes before a protest could emerge. Kal wasn’t nervous, if there were any better prospects on the planet for the bond, well that didn’t matter. No, he had chosen well in all three of them. They had no idea of what the bonding entailed, and that was both good and bad. Perhaps he should tell them before they did something typically human and tried to reject it.

The AI had muted the bond while he was in the intense training, and that had allowed the humans to function normally for the most part, but now he was awake nothing would be the same for them. Any of them. The AI had kept an eye on the three of them and some of what was revealed was a definite surprise. Bruce’s beguiling bat secret both Lex and Ollie were aware of, but Lex was not aware of Ollie’s affinity with arrows.

These humans were so curious in their quirks and habits. They were so concerned with hiding themselves from the world. Just as Clark’s parents had taught him when he was a child; the others he had bonded with hid their shared talents. They tended toward fighting the injustices, yet worked alone when they could join their talents in a far more productive endeavor. It was confusing for the alien. Their road was already paved, why not take advantage? It was up to him to show the path that must be taken.

The multiple bonding was unusual, but not unheard of in the society of the past. When going through training he realized that his weaker side had facilitated the bonding by bringing the others to him. It was not a method he would have chosen, but more effective as it gained him three bonded with far more potential than thought of in the human race. Even if they failed in their endeavors there were others waiting to take the place of their forefathers.

A beeping interrupted his train of thought, the examination was done and they were to be released. He decided to he would be the one to talk to them as the human half had not done so well. They just had to learn their place. They had a very long time together, and dissention would not be accepted.

Lex was the first to emerge. His looks to the box held vast amounts of greed, but also a resigned acceptance. He was far too intelligent not to realize the damage of integrating the alien technology into the present human society. That did not mean that Lex would not try to do his personal best to bring the world into that level.

Bruce was second. If Lex was the fastest healer then this man was at the peak of human physical potential. The AI and MER had removed vast amounts of scar tissue and evidence of broken bones that he apparently sustained during his night time activities. His look to the box was speculative and suspicious, there would be no threat unless the box decided to grow legs and try to take over the world.

Ollie looked like he had taken a nap. He was another who had far more scar tissue than was healthy for a human. The intense training of the human martial arts had increased the pain threshold and mental discipline of all three men, but Ollie was the one who ignored all warning signs that his body was beginning to fail. The MER had to fix his heart, lungs and spine, but for the first time in a long time he was pain free. The bond would ensure that he stayed that way.

“Now would you like to tell us what the hell that was about?” Lex asked.

“You needed to be at peak health in order to assure the bond would not adversely affect you.”

“Ah yes, this mysterious bond you and Clark keep referring to, would you care to explain it now?”

“The night I left you I returned to the Fortress to complete the training that had been started in my formative years. I allowed my human side the leeway he needed to arrange his affairs, but due to the unnecessary emotions he had been raised with it took far longer than wise. This need to love and marry is strange, but sufficient for our needs. However, due to the inferiority of the female species of this planet he could not meet his goals.

“Two of you were in his thoughts, but unacknowledged as possibilities for bonding. The third he had never met before. You allowed the possibility in his mind and I was able to bring about something that we needed.

“The bond is like and unlike the human concept of marriage. There is no breaking it. There is a physical need and craving for contact, but you are incapable of meeting the need without another of the bonded, as all three of you have discovered in your own ways. Now that I have awakened, the need will be far more pronounced.”

“So I really am married to you!” Ollie exclaimed.

“No, you are bonded to all three of us.”

The man keeling over in a dead faint was really very amusing to his human side. He could hear Clark chuckle in his head even as he caught the man before he hit the ground. For a debonair, suave, ladies man Oliver was none too steady at the moment.

“What did you mean when you said the cravings would be stronger now?” Bruce asked.

“None of us will accept being alone. We will have to be near at least one of the other, and have skin contact once a day. There will be overwhelming times of lust, and thanks to my human side needs for affection. The strange conjunction between the two of us has resulted in an anomaly of a basic need. There are very few instances where a multiple bonding occurred and usually those who are involved were far more attached than other bonded.

“I am not sure what results this will bring. Each case was individual with some growing into a psychic bond, an actual melding of strengths rather than enhancements, or a complete physical awareness of each other. There is no precedence in these matters.”

“So, basically what you’re saying is that we’re stuck with each other regardless of our wishes for the rest of our lives?” Lex summarized. “Well, that’s… inconvenient. Did you take anytime to think of how this would affect us? We’re all in different parts of the world, have competing business, not to mention we’re not exactly friends!”

“Amen to that.” Ollie had rejoined them.

“Well then, you shouldn’t have brought me into your little game. What was it Ollie said? One love, one hate and one neutral? You never thought that one day there would be consequences?”

“It was a game! We called it the Billionaire Boy’s Club. All it meant was that if there was some one who showed interest in two of us, considering our differences of opinion, he would get the night of his life. One night and that was all! You were the first in a long while to even get that, there was no harm intended, and there sure as hell was no permanency involved. That’s why there were rules.”

“When have I ever played by any rules, Lex? When have you? I broke your game and you’re pouting. Should I bring some stranger’s vehicle here and a golf club so you can beat on it?”

“Ha, ha, you’re not funny.”

“What do you have to complain about? You will, for the first time in your life, receive complete acceptance and love. The bond will ensure that. You will have all the sex you want the only trade off is that you have to accept us. The problem of different locations is easily solved. We’ll install transport pads at each of your permanent residences and each night you’ll come here to be together.”

“It’s not that simple,” Lex protested. “I, we are all business men. That involves travel, appointments, late nights and at the very least the same time zone! Why aren’t the two of you saying anything? You know it’s true.”

Bruce shrugged, “I don’t see how this bond could be as bad as he says. It hasn’t affected us before.”

“I wouldn’t try that if I were you. The bond was not complete before and is capable of causing far more pain than the human body can withstand.”

“According to you we’re not exactly human anymore anyway. I won’t be tied to one place.”

“And when the cravings hit?”

“What about them? I’m male in case you haven’t noticed, it’s not like I haven’t been denied a sexual outlet at some point and time.”

“The exit is there,” Kal pointed to a doorway. “You will find it transports you to Smallville. I assume you can find your way from there, but I doubt you will get that far.”

“One should never doubt the will of the human race,” Bruce stated with dignity. He turned and walked to the door.

It was noticeable in the first few steps. He began to shake with fine tremors, but that didn’t stop him. As the shakes began to increase he threw his arms around himself in order to make them stop, but continued his advance. Kal’s sensitive ears picked up how ragged the man’s breathing was, as he was as stubborn as all the other counterparts, but when the man’s heart began to falter he called out to him.

“The bond will cause physical damage if you go any further.”

“Why?” Bruce gritted out. “Why did you do this to us? There was no harm involved in what we did. How can you expect this of us?”

Kal shrugged, “If I had been human great harm may well have come to me, if not physically then mentally. I had the AI look for any of you past ‘victims’ and she discovered that two have attempted suicide, one tried to tried to kill you, and three have restraining orders for stalking. Do not judge me by your morals, human. I merely took advantage of the situation presented.”

He flew over and hovered close by. Bruce noticed the lessening of the pain immediately, and took a slow, even breath. He looked to the others and then to Kal.

“All three of us took less care in the beginning, and we have all paid to rectify the situations in their lives. It shaped us into the men we are today. It’s strange how events shape each moment of the future. We became poster playboys on the outside and led a different life in reality.

“You were the first in a long time. Something that was so distant, yet hitting the gut with a visceral punch. I was hungry; I admit it, hungry for the thrill of the hunt, the prey, and the satisfaction of coming out on top, but this has backfired in the worst way possible and the hunter became the prey. What do you want? My surrender? I’ll give it to you. You win.” His face was grasped and he found himself firmly kissed.

“That was a wonderful performance, and it needed a reward. I didn’t believe the last part at all.”

“Why not?”

“Simple, I already knew about the bat issues in Gotham, Ollie’s arrow fetish and Lex’s little projects. The three of you lie like you breathe, but there are always tells. Right now you’re stuck between the two sides of yourself and that makes it easier.”

There were protests from the other two that he squashed ruthlessly. “You two would voice your objections to the God of this planet if he came down and solved the problem of world peace. Lex, I showed you my secret, and Oliver, no secrets can exist between the bonded.”

“Still, Clark!” Ollie protested.

“What did my human mother say again? Oh yes, the mouth goes shut, Ollie. It’s time for listening and then fucking.”

Silence can be golden as well. There wasn’t even the sound of breath as each human stared in stunned shock. A trick to remember indeed.

“As I was trying to explain to Bruce, I know that each of you have different lives, but until the bond is completed with another mating each of us could go no further than an estimated fifty feet from one of the others. This would be unreasonable to all, which is why after the bond is completed we should only need to connect once daily.”

“By connect you mean sex.” Lex commented.

“No, actually it could be as simple as skin contact, but I doubt anyone would complain if sex came at regular intervals. Especially since the bond prevents infidelity.”

“If there only needs to be sex then why are Bruce and I not immune?” Lex asked.

“Two words, Luthor; Group Orgy.” Ollie smarted off.

“Exactly,” Kal agreed.
