The future,
“And I told you Lois doesn’t have that kind of time. You get Doctor White in a helicopter and get him to Gen Met now.” He hangs up and is about to call Chloe to let her know when tall and intergalactic walks in.“Clark I have three of the country’s best neurologists on their way”
“It’s too late. Lois is already missing”
“What do you mean she’s missing?” what good is it to have a 6’4’’ super powered bodyguard if he can’t even keep an eye on a comatose girl. “You took her to the hospital. You’ve been with her all night, Clark”
“I was. I step out to see if you called. When I got back in she was gone. There is nothing in her chart. There is no release and there are no witnesses” and suddenly it clicks. Very few people can get someone to disappear like that.
“Hospital said someone called and requested a copy of Lois’ tests results. Emil”
“Why would Emil care about Lois?”
“He wouldn’t. Maybe the person he’s working for would”
“Chloe” and with that he turns around and super speeds out. Dammit, he knows that look in his face.
“Wait Clark!” he would bet half his fortune that he is going to barge in and say something stupid.
***
When he walks into the Watchtower, Chloe is on the phone and Clark is pacing like a caged animal. “Judging by the looks on your faces, I’m going to venture a guess say that we still don’t know where Lois is” and that Clark said something stupid he finishes in his head
“No unless you count a wrongly accusation of kidnapping” she snarks and he can’t help but look with incredulity at Clark who has the grace to look down shamefully. “Apparently having Emil send me copies of my cousin’s test results clearly indicates that I would grab her and hide her” she raises an eyebrow at him when Clark looks at him accusingly.
“Hey, don’t look at me.” He raises both hands in defense. “All I meant was that you probably knew more than us considering you’re her next of kin and, you know, Chloe” really he can’t be held accountable of how Clark’s mind works.
“It doesn’t matter.” But he knows it does. Clark just casted her in Lex’s role, and it hurts her more that she would ever admit. “My contact tells me that Tess has Lois in this location” she brings up a map in the screen. “Clark wait, there is-” Before she can add more, Clark is gone.
“Let me guess, green rocks are involved” he is sure that it is this stupid habit of running unprepared onto every situation thinking that just because he is Clark the world would just bent to his will that would get them all killed.
“Bingo. I’ll have Emil meet us there.”
***
The scene that meets them at Mercy’s newest secret lab is sadly predictable. Emil jumps at the computers, Chloe goes to the bloody body on the floor while he checks on the Ice Bitch. “He is still alive, barely”
“So it’s she. We better call an ambulance”
“Already on it. You better ride with Tess, find out what she knows” he nods. Whatever the situation, he knows he can always count on Chloe know what to do. She’ll get Lois and Clark back in one piece and figure a way to avoid D-day.
“Keep me posted”
***
There are few places that feel like home for him, but Watchtower is one of them. So much so in fact that he has half his stuff in here and his own drawer in Chloe’s desk. He looks up from his files when Clark walks in with a goofy smile on. “You know, for a guy who just got a mount dose of kryptonite you do seem happy”
“Well the sun is shining. Lois is gonna be alright”
“She should be fine. Doctor Emil ran every possible test on her and she is healthy and doesn’t remember a thing.” Hips swaying, blonde hair shinning like a halo under the sunlight, green leather bringing out those pretty eyes, watching Chloe walk is quickly becoming one of his favorite pastimes. What? He has always appreciated beauty and grace. He looks down when she gets to their desk and tries to get back to his files, but he can’t help but look back at her “Except of course the flowers sent to her hospital room, but who could forget five dozen roses”
“Five dozen roses… wow, that’s subtle” next thing you know Boyscout will start writing sonnets.
“Look I really don’t get why the two of you are grinning considering the fact that we are all about to die very tragic deaths in the not so distant future” she looks down at him and he grimaces. But that was then and now he won’t let that happen.
“That’s because if we do something in the present we change all that” finally they are on the same page. It’s time to take action.
“Well I vote we take down Zod right now. That way he doesn’t have the chance to take the sunshine out of our shoulders” It’s the simplest solution really. Eliminate the enemy before he kills us all.
“No. In the future that I saw I tried to fight Zod. All I did was turning him into a more powerful enemy” okay, scratch that about being on the same page. Clark is as always in a completely different book, probably the Disney version of the fairy tales. Crap.
“Clark just because you learned a lesson in teamwork doesn’t mean that we have to stop fighting Zod” Most of him is so proud of her for standing up at Clark, but some part of him is sad for how far those two are of being the friends they used to be.
“But going against Zod would only force him to come out with everything he has”
“So, what? You think you two can just hug it out?” he can’t hide the incredulity on his voice. This is his plan, really. What the fuck is he smoking?
“When my father said ‘save Zod’ what I think he meant was ‘save Zod from himself’ If I can befriend him and show him how good life could be here-
“That would be a mistake. Clark, if Zod gets his solar tower online that gives him all the power in the world and us none, including you.” Chloe tries to reason with him, but there are things that seem to be even beyond Watchtower’s abilities. “Zod will fly psychopathic circles around you.”
“Chloe I’ve seen what happens when I treat Zod like the enemy. This time I’m going to do things the right way” and with that he walks out. Typical.
“How many times exactly has he tried this oh so brilliant strategy” he looks at her questionably.
“More times that I care to count” she sighs. Disappointment is clear in those green eyes of her.
“And it has worked, how many times exactly?” she raises an eyebrow. “Right, so what’s the plan, boss?”
“Boss?” she gives him a half-smile.
“I figure I better start getting used to my new status as your sidekick” she rolls her eyes at his antics, and he smiles.
Chloe types something on her computer and a file of the solar towers comes up in the screen. “I was able to access Tess’ files on our red-sun ray towers. I figure we better get a head start on that virus. We might as well make it impossible to get the technology real. Also, I gave a heads up to Lana. If we are going to have superpowered Kandorian army coming after us, we better have a superpowered kryptonite radioactive weapon on our side”
“Let’s get to work, then”
