DC X LOTM: A Beyonder in DC

CTHULHU_YOGSOTHOTH
Alexander Kent is the younger brother of Clark Kent (Superman), raised in Smallville. However, his life changes when he discovers he is a Beyonder, a being with access to 22 Pathways of godlike power. After a mysterious event freezes time and space, Alex awakens to these new abilities, recalling a novel he once read—Lord of the Mysteries—that explains his transformation. Now, in a world filled with heroes and villains, Alex joins the Justice League but remains neither a hero nor a villain. Instead, he plays both sides to advance through his Sequences. With multiple secret identities, including that of a genius inventor running a company that uses his Beyonder abilities, Alex’s true goal is to ascend through the Pathways and become omnipotent. As he manipulates events, creates allies and enemies, and hides his true nature, Alex walks a fine line between loyalty and deception. His mission is clear: to unlock the full potential of each Pathway while ensuring his identity remains a secret from the Justice League and his family while also protecting them from all the dangers of the world

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
