For those of my readers who don't watch Smallville, Brainiac is played by the ever so wonderful James Marsters. He's one of my all-time favorite villains and he does a lovely job messing with people's minds in Smallville (as well as Torchwood but that's a completely separate fandom. *g*). This one turned out to be a little shorter, rather to my surprise, but that's okay. I think I left it on an appropriately nail-biting cliff-hanger. *evil grin* Whoot for three chapters left!

Story: Destiny In The Blood: Chapter 27
Pairing: Clex
Rating: NC-17 overall
Disclaimer: don’t own any of it but sure had a lot of fun with it!
Warning: Severely AU, consensual Slave fic, Matriarchal Kryptonian Culture, Altered Biology for Kryptonian males, underage sex and prostitution (not shown in great detail), D/s, Master Lex / slave Clark, lots of Sex or Die / Aliens Made Them Do It tropes, take a grab bag of ideas and throw them in a plot generator with Clex and this might be what you get. Also, plot heavy with plenty of smut thrown in for seasoning.
Word Count: Approx 3700 of 123,600 words so far
Spoilers: No specific spoilers for particular episodes but assume plot elements and devices from all seasons through S8 will show up, reshuffled and changed dramatically from canon. Starts right around S3.5 – Perry, but doesn't mention that fact anywhere.
Summary: Clark and Lex come to an 'agreement' after his Kryptonian biology demands that he become someone's slave or die. At first Lex assumes it's a temporary stop-gap until a 'cure' can be found, but everything that happens after that just confirms that they're made to be Master and slave.
Feedback: Comments (even if it’s just that you read) are much loved and concrit is much appreciated!

Jason sighed as he finished his last bit of paperwork at the Smallville High assistant coach. He'd turned in his resignation just after the meteor shower a week ago. He wasn't a teacher anymore. He wasn't in a position of authority. He was free to be with Kara officially now, though the Kents still didn't like him all that much. They were warming up to him a little bit but not that much. He hoped that they'd relax a bit over time, but he knew that it was possible that they'd always disapprove of his relationship with Kara.
"That's that," Jason said with satisfaction as he finished his paperwork and then finished packing the last of his personal items into a box. "Glad that's finished."
He dropped off his paperwork, taking everyone's good wishes. As far as everyone else knew, Jason was leaving his job to deal with his mother's murder trial. They all knew that Jason didn't support her, especially given how many men she'd murdered. It was nice having the town's support on that issue because he sure didn't have his dad on his side. His dad, Edward Teague, was on Genevieve's side, not Jason's side. He'd left his normal hideouts and gone to see Genevieve in the prison hospital. From what Lex's contacts had told them, his parents had a touching reunion in the hospital, to the point of Edward crying in relief that Genevieve was going to be okay. That had nearly been enough to make Jason sick.
Jason put his box of stuff in the truck, got in and headed for the mansion. There was so much stuff they needed to do. According to Lex, Brainiac was still contained in the Black Ship, which wasn't as reassuring as it should have been. Lara hadn't been able to come up with a weapon that would get through the ship's shielding, letting them destroy Brainiac at the source. Since they were dealing with a computer that adapted—both in programming and physically—it had to be one hell of a tough nut to crack. He was kind of glad that he didn't have to worry about it. He turned on the radio automatically as he pulled out of the parking lot, checking the traffic and more or less ignoring the sound pouring from his truck's cheap sound system.
"Jason…"
He didn't hear the scratchy little whisper the first time. In fact, Jason didn't hear it until it had repeated about six or seven times. When he finally did hear it he did a double-take, staring at his radio long enough that he drifted a bit in the lane. He frowned, turned off his radio and rode on to the mansion in silence.
"Jason…"
"The fuck?" Jason snapped, staring around the cab and then back at the radio that, yes, had actually been turned off. "Mom if this is your trick I'm really going to be pissed at you. I don't know where you put the speaker but I'm not falling for it."
There was an evil little laugh in the same sort of scratchy tone and then nothing else happened. When he got back to the mansion, Jason asked Lex's security team to check out his truck for bugs and microphones. He didn't know what was going on but it didn't really matter. Things were crazy enough without his putting up with that sort of crap from her.
"You're sure?" Lex was saying when Jason walked into the office to tell Lex about the incident. "Damn it, I can't believe this. Yes. Yes, I know. Yes. No, that's not necessary. Yes, do that."
He hung up and sighed, rubbing his forehead. Jason set his box of stuff down on the coffee table, frowning at Lex. Whatever the call was, it was bad news. Lex nodded at Jason, making that wry little smile that Jason always thought of as an acknowledgement of how weird it was for them to be friends this way. After all the crap they'd gone through in school, it still felt weird to be on Lex's side.
"What's up?" Jason asked.
"That was one of my operatives," Lex said, leaning back in his ultra-expensive office chair. "Dr. Virgil Swann, Patricia Swann and Bridgette Crosby were just found murdered in their homes. I sent a man to talk to Dr. Swann and he found both Dr. Swann and Bridgette Crosby murdered. When he went to check on Patricia, she was dead too. The police are checking it out right now but no one's sure what happened or why."
"Brainiac," Jason said grimly. "Who else?"
"Yeah," Lex said, lips compressing into a thin bloodless line. "I thought we had him contained but obviously I was wrong."
Jason shuddered, looking back at his box of stuff. That left Lionel and Genevieve, both of whom were in prison hospitals, his dad and Jason. And his Dad was behaving strangely. Jason swallowed and looked back at Lex, feeling his face go pale.
"Lex, I heard a voice on the way home," Jason said, feeling like he was cutting his throat, but what could he do. "It kept saying my name. I asked your security team to check out my truck but what do you want to bet that they find nothing?"
Lex sat up straight, staring intently at Jason. There was something about his eyes that made Jason think that the might be using some of those powers he'd gotten but there was no way to be sure. Lex made a little sigh that was almost nothing but a forceful exhalation and then shook his head slowly.
"I don't see any signs that he's affected you," Lex said slowly, "but I don't know what Brainiac's powers are. I want you to stay at the mansion for a while, Jason. If Brainiac's decided to target you then we need to keep you safe. Other than the Fortress this is the safest place I can think of."
"Thank you," Jason said, shivering. "Can you let Kara know? I promised to come over tonight for dinner."
"No need," Lex said. "I hear Clark coming home. You might want to put your stuff away and give her a call her yourself. She should be back at the farm by the time you get upstairs."
"That is still the coolest thing ever," Jason laughed, grinning at Lex.
"No, flying is the coolest thing ever, right after not being dead," Lex said with a wry little smirk.
Jason nodded and grabbed his box. His room in the mansion was empty, thank goodness. He was going to be expecting to see ghosts and hear voices all the time now. Kara offered to come right over when he told her about the incident but he told her to finish her cores and do her homework first. He knew that wouldn't take his golden girl very long—she was way smarter than he was and could learn things much faster. Jason sighed and stared at his cell phone for a long moment once he hung up. This was kind of freaking him out. He totally understood why Brainiac would target him. He was the weakest link in the four of them. He was human. They were super powered. He was weak and they were strong. If it had been him, he'd have done the same thing which only made him shudder. His mom had trained him way too well if he understood Brainiac's thinking this well. Jason wasn't even slightly surprised when his phone rang just as he was putting it away. Of course it would be an unknown number. Of course it was the same scratchy voice when he answered it.
"Look, I'm sure this is as amusing as all shit to you," Jason drawled, "but do you really think that it's going to work? Come on, you're supposed to be some supercomputer. Isn't fucking with my mind a little juvenile?"
"I suppose you do have a point," a cultured man's voice said from behind Jason.
"Jesus, don't do that!" Jason snapped, jumping to his feet and whirling to glare at the apparently normal man standing behind him. He gave the guy a once over, cocking his head. "Somehow I expected you to be a lot more impressive but I guess choosing a shape that blends in makes more sense."
"Quite true," Brainiac said with a little grin at him. "I'm surprised you're this calm, Jason. You know that I'm going to do horrible things to you."
Jason squared his jaw, staring defiantly at the supercomputer masquerading as a human in front of him. He did know it. It was inevitable. He was the weakest link so of course Brainiac had to target Jason. He wasn't sure if Brainiac could affect Kara or Clark, or Lex for that matter, but Jason, yeah, it was obvious that he could hurt Jason. The thought of how him being hurt was going to upset Kara made Jason mad. There wasn't a thing he could do about it but that didn't change the fact that he wanted to pound on Brainiac.
"Yeah," Jason said, hands in fists. "That's a given. Look, dude. I've done this stuff on a human scale before. Just get on with it, will you? You're not going to drive me crazy and I'm not going to give into you like my dad did."
"Oh, you know about that, do you?" Brainiac said, pursing his lips and nodding admiringly. "Very good, Jason."
"He made nice with my mom," Jason said, rolling his eyes. "Fuck you have no idea how obviously out of character that is. They haven't made nice with each other since I was six! Hell, I don't think they made nice to each other except when I was conceived and apparently that was when they were both drunk and high."
Brainiac was suddenly right in front of Jason, just inches from his face. The guy should have been radiating a little heat. His breath should have been puffing in Jason's face. He at least should have been doing those little swaying things that people always did when they were standing—ankles and feet adjusting position to keep him upright. He didn't. He was cool, radiating a little wave of cold air like he was refrigerated. There was no breathing, no twitches, no swaying. He was like a statue that had been given movement and awareness.
"You are seriously creepy up close," Jason confided in a low voice. "You obviously don't have looking like a human down yet."
"Really?" Brainiac said, blinking as if surprised.
"Yup, got the temperature wrong and all the little ticks of humanity aren't there," Jason said, standing firm. "It's kind of obvious that you're not a human."
"Pity," Brainiac said, suddenly grinning at him. It was one of the most terrifying things Jason had ever seen. "I'll have to work on that. Not that it matter right now. You're going to go away for a while Jason."
Jason let out a sudden scream to warn Lex about the attack that was cut off when Brainiac grabbed his throat. He saw Brainiac raise a finger that grew into a long black probe aimed at Jason's forehead. He blacked out as it touched and then pierced his skull. The last thing he saw was Lex appearing at the door behind Brainiac's back. Then there was nothing but fiery pain driving his consciousness away.
+++++
Lex heard Jason's scream and was in his room in less than a second. He didn't try to talk Brainiac out of whatever he was doing to Jason's brain. He just used his heat vision to try and fry Brainiac. It appeared to work because Brainiac shouted and dropped Jason, whirling to glare at Lex. Jason fell like a ton of bricks, his eyes rolled up in his head and body completely boneless. Brainiac smirked at Lex and then they were flying through the window and out onto the lawn, Brainiac on top of Lex.
"So nice to see that I'm just a hair stronger than you," Brainiac said with a smirk that would have rivaled Lex's worst.
"Maybe so but you're clearly not as smart as you think you are," Lex said, smirking back at him as Clark appeared with Kara right behind Brainiac's back.
Clark grabbed Brainiac by the neck, hurling him into a big granite sculpture that decorated the lawn. His expression was one of fury with none of Clark's normal submission. The sculpture shattered into pieces. Brainiac rolled to his feet calmly and laughed at them all. He took flight and disappeared into the sky in less time than any of them could manage. Lex caught both Kara and Clark, not letting them pursue him.
"There's no time for that," Lex said, holding Kara firmly. "He attacked Jason, Kara. We need to take care of him first. Brainiac can wait."
"Jason!" Kara gasped and ripped out of his hand, disappearing into the house.
"What happened?" Clark asked, looking worried.
"Somehow he escaped from the Black Ship and he's taking out the Veritas Society. Obviously that includes Jason," Lex said, pulling Clark into the house. "I'd assume that he's taking out rivals to his power but you never know. It may be to take away allies or simply because they know too much. And taking out Jason takes out Kara."
His security team was just arriving to see what had happened. They looked like they were getting pretty shell-shocked, which wasn't too much of a surprise given everything that had happened lately. Lex made a mental not to make sure that they were all given appropriate time off and to have them evaluated for signs of excessive stress. He'd only just gotten a good team. He'd hate to see them fall apart. Lex got them to work on fixing the broken window in Jason's room and headed upstairs to see if Kara had managed to wake Jason up.
"How is he?" Lex asked, frowning at seeing Kara kneeling on the floor with Jason in her arms.
"He's been, he's, he's, it's not," Kara whimpered, looking up at Lex with tears in her eyes. "I can't get through to him, Lex. Whatever Brainiac did, I can't fix it."
"Let's take him to see Lara," Lex said gently. "I'll check the security feed and see if I can see what he did. The more information Lara has the more likely it is that she can help him."
"Yes, please," Kara whispered, picking Jason up easily.
Jason's little chat with Brainiac was chilling. Lex wouldn't have expected that he'd be that calm but then Jason kept surprising him. Lex copied that clip of the surveillance onto a chip and then they headed to the Kawatche Caves together. Kara looked at them impatiently when they headed into the caves. She wouldn't let Clark or Lex carry Jason, holding him herself.
"Come on, hurry up!" Kara demanded. "We need to get to the Fortress, Lex!"
Lex scanned the area before pulling out the Key. He didn't want Brainiac to find this shortcut. He didn't see anything but then he didn't know what sort of sensors Brainiac had. It was quite possible that he could monitor everything they did in the same way that Lara did, but Lex wasn't sure so he was cautious. He nodded slowly, taking Clark's hand and having Clark touch Kara's shoulder. Once they were linked up he triggered the transporter, taking them directly to the Fortress.
"Auntie Lara!" Kara called, hurrying towards the same place where Clark had been treated when he'd been affected. "My boy's been hurt. You gotta help!"
"Place him on the bed, dear," Lara said. The temperature in the Fortress immediately rose to a level that wasn't threatening to Jason's health as the treatment bed rose. "I will do what I can to help him but it may be difficult. Brainiac's ability to lock down a nervous system is unparalleled."
"But…Auntie!" Kara whimpered, tears welling up in her eyes. "I promised to protect him!"
"Shhhh," Lex said, pulling Kara into a hug. "She'll do her best and we'll do our best to destroy Brainiac, Kara. I'm sure that once he's gone Jason will be fine."
Clark rubbed Kara's back as Lex held her. Lex hoped that he was right. They couldn't afford to have Kara lose it. Given how strong Brainiac was (more than a little bit stronger and faster than Lex, which mean he was stronger and faster than Clark and Kara), they were going to need all three of them to stop him. That plus Lara's still-unfinished Brainiac killing weapon should hopefully make a difference.
"I can't lose him when I just got him," Kara whispered into Lex's shoulder. "Sweet Rao, Lex! I can't!"
"I know," Lex whispered back to her, resting his chin on her head and meeting Clark's worried eyes. "I know. The world wouldn't be big enough to save Brainiac if he harmed Clark. We'll save Jason. Trust me, it's not over yet."
Kara just whimpered.
+++++
Interesting, Brainiac thought as he observed them. He knew better than to try and go anywhere near Lara's Fortress, but it wasn't necessary for him to do so. He could tap into Lara's sensor network and see whatever he wanted, anywhere in the solar system. He truly hadn't expected Kara to be so distraught when he'd struck Jason down. From his observations of their relationship since he arrived, he'd assumed that they weren't that serious about one another. Perhaps it was simply that he didn't understand relationships but the laughter and severe lack of discipline towards Jason had made Brainiac assume that it was a casual relationship, not a serious one. General Zod had always emphasized that submissives needed the discipline far more than the affection.
"Obviously I was wrong about their relationship," Brainiac muttered to himself. "Ah well, no matter. Turned out better this way."
He headed into Edward Teague's apartment, smiling to find the man on his knees praying to an image of Rao. Of course, that image was actually of General Zod and Edward was being influenced but that was all right. Lionel Luthor and Genevieve Teague were both worthless to him right now, though they'd probably be worth bothering with once their bodies healed. The Swanns and Bridgette Crosby had proven too resistant to his control methods. That left Edward, dear, foolish, devoted Edward.
"Sir!" Edward gasped, getting to his feet to beam at Brainiac.
"Glad to see that you're doing well," Brainiac said, going over and running a hand over Edward's cheek.
Edward shuddered, his eyes fluttering shut for a second. Brainiac smirked. Rewiring his brain had been fairly easy. He would do as Brainiac wanted, whenever he wanted, whatever he wanted. It helped that the man had already been half broken by Genevieve and completely obsessed with all thing Kryptonian. He'd taken a mild case of zenoworship and turned it into complete fanaticism with very little work at all. Pity he hadn't had the chance to do the same to Jason, though he would have been a much harder case than his father.
"Were you able to talk to my son?" Edward asked after he caught his breath. Brainiac's touch made him nearly orgasmic.
"I'm afraid so," Brainiac said sadly, shaking his head as if dismayed. "It's too late, Edward. I'm very sorry but the false Kryptonians have already gotten to him. There was no convincing him. He's theirs now."
Edward swayed, looking devastated. Brainiac made a little clucking sound, reaching out to cup his face with both hands, crooning wordlessly to him. Edward's knees gave way and he brought his clasped hands to his lips, whispering idiotic little prayers of thanksgiving and forgiveness. It was rather pathetic but that didn't matter. He had his newest tool and that was what counted.
"You can save him, Edward," Brainiac said softly. "You're the only one who can save him."
"Me?" Edward said, surprised. "But I'm just a human, Master. What can I do that you can't?"
"The reason that Jason is lost to us is Clark and Kara Kent," Brainiac said smoothly. "I have exactly what we need to be able to save him but they saw me. They know now that I'm here. I need someone who can get close to them, someone they don't know. That's where you're perfect, Edward. You can set up a trap, lure them in. You can do what no one else can. You can save the world and your son."
Edward's eyes got huge and his breath caught in his chest. He literally started crying with joy at the 'honor' he'd just been given. It dismayed Brainiac how easy these creatures were to manipulate. Their brains and bodies were so weak. At least the Kryptonians were a challenge. These things were barely worthy of being made into slaves. He didn't allow any of his thoughts to show on his face as Edward caught his hands and kissed them happily.
"Thank you, Master!" Edward cried. "Thank you! I'll do it; of course I'll do it. I'm so honored that you would allow me to help in this way."
"Excellent," Brainiac said happily. "Now, this is what you have to do. I'll give you a supply of green Kryptonite. We're going to set up a trap for Kara that will allow us to remove her powers. Then we'll lure Clark in. With him we should be able to do what we need to save your son."
Edward beamed happily, hanging on Brainiac's every word. He nodded and then took notes, coming up with some very cunning little additions to the trap that would draw Clark and Kara Kent in. Brainiac smirked. In a few days he'd have access to the Fortress, Kal-El as his master's slave and Lex Luthor would be General Zod's new body. It was so nice of them to provide a ready-made Vessel for his master. It should be fun to watch it all play out. The best part would be wiping Lara from the Fortress' systems and taking it as his own. So much power at his disposal. He was really looking forward to that.
