Chapter 10
Chapter 10
When the white light the Fírrine also known as Ariel had been traveling in faded she found herself in a small town near Star City at night in an alley out of the way so no one could see her arrival. She walked across the street to a newspaper stand and bought a local paper to check the date. It was apparently a few days before “the problem” as she was calling it. She checked the documents Ganthet gave her and found at this time Chloe and Davis would have been just arriving here and going to a small hotel near the edge of town. So she stepped away from the stand and when no one was looking super-sped over to the hotel to check it out. Just as she was stepping through the door of the hotel she spotted Chloe and Davis arriving.
“Holy Mother! That’s my Mom!? She’s beautiful, tired and worn but beautiful. I can see why dad loved her so much. All that beauty and it’s not all outside. There’s a beauty in her that just shines out,” Ariel thought as she watched Chloe move confidently even though she was probably on her last legs.
“And that’s Doomsday? His human form’s not to bad to look at. I might have gone after him for a completely different reason if it wasn’t for that one thing. The one where he’s an evil monster bent on destroying everything in his path. I can see why Mom and Dad want to try to save him, I really can. To be condemned to live with a monster inside you your whole life is not a life, but to release that monster on the world so one person can find peace while millions suffer. I can’t agree with that. I can’t see why Mom’s sacrificing herself, her soul to help him. I can see the darkness in him and it’s not all Doomsday. There’s nothing there to save Mom, please just go home,” Ariel thought as she watched them head to the main desk to get a room and saw her mother struggling to smile while being eaten from within by worry. When they walked away with their key she stepped up to the desk and asked for a room that maybe had a shower area she could use, fending she had been on a long trip possibly running away from an abusive situation to get some sympathy and maybe free services.
Lucky her, the desk clerk believed her and called the manager. They said her room and the services she used were free. They asked if she wanted to call a safe house, she said no that wasn’t necessary she had family she was going to she just needed a room for the night. So they gave her the key to the room that subsequently shared the shower/bathroom Chloe and Davis’ room used.
“Damn, if I wasn’t a superhero already I’d make a fabulous actress!” she thought.
Chloe was worn thin and tired from all the moving around, secrecy and worrying. She was paler than usually and felt sick almost every second of the day with worry over how Clark was, if leaving was really the right choice, if staying with Davis was really doing any good. Her usually vibrant green eyes were dull and lost.
Davis asked her if she’d like to eat dinner in their room before or after taking a shower in the hotel’s facility across from their room. The shower/bathroom was only shared by them and whoever had the other room up there. She smiled brightly at him but she knew it was fake thinking, “He cares so much, but is it enough? Is his caring for me enough to keep the beast at bay, to keep him sane and safe from the monster?”
Apparently Davis didn’t think it fake and smiled back taking her smile as conformation she would love to have a long shower before they ate in their room.
As Ariel stood back and watched Chloe and Davis interact while she went to her room and them to theirs she could see that it was taking everything in Chloe to act happy and content for Davis’ sake. Ariel respected Chloe, her mother she only got to know for such a short time, for what she was trying to do. It took a lot for someone to forsake everything they loved and cared about to try and stop a monster. She may not have liked her mother sacrificing herself but she understood it. This need to sacrifice herself for everyone else was the reason why Ariel lost her so early, but she loved the mother she remembered and the mother she learned about in her dad’s albums and stories and she was beginning to really respect the mother she was seeing from afar here and now.
When the door to Chloe and Davis’ room shut she went into hers shutting the door tight. She sat down with all of her things. Ariel took her coat off hung it up put the things she could away. After she called for a light dinner, she sat at the small table in the room with a light and began to research and strategize a way to convince her father of what had to be done.
That night she listened in on what Chloe and Davis were talking about, maybe she could find out where they were headed. From what she could hear Chloe was submitting to whatever decisions Davis was making.
“She’s probably so tired, so worried that she can’t think straight. She’s so different from the mom I know and learned about when I began to forget,” Ariel thought.
A few hours after listening to them Ariel fell into a light sleep so if anything happened she would know and be able to help, stop, whatever was needed of her.
The next day found Ariel going about a morning routine to make herself seem a part of this time. She called for breakfast, got cleaned up, researched anything she could while listening to music on this little contraption with ‘ear buds’ called an IPod, but even through the music she heard Chloe’s heart beat stutter and race while she dreamed and awoke with surprise. She listened to the water in the shower as it ran and to Davis packing their things while Chloe showered. She knew she had to do something soon so she got dressed in civilian clothes as she called them and listened for an opening where she could talk to her mother in private without her mother knowing who she was.
Finally she found it. As Davis went down to pay for their night, dinner and the breakfast they were going to have and Chloe got things packed she left her room and wandered until she saw Chloe come out of the room.
She acted as if she was singing a song as she stepped behind Chloe near her door and watched as Chloe turned around and stepped back in surprise.
“That’s different? I thought I wasn’t supposed to be known by anyone here, especially mom and dad? Something else must be going on here? But Ganthet didn’t say anything but Mom possibly knowing me or anything besides the Doomsday thing so it must not be something that I can fix or that needs fixing at all. So I’ll leave it and do what I came here to,” Ariel thought with a mental shrug.
Ariel smiled kindly and using a calm voice said, “Oh I’m sorry. Did I scare you? I sometimes forget that I’m not the only one here when I’m playing my music sorry again.”
Ariel turned cool eyes in the direction Davis had walked and thought, “If I could get rid of you now I would, asshole. You’ve caused my family enough pain. It would be so simple getting rid of you right now, but I can’t. It’s not my place.” After a few moments of her quiet seething she faced her mother a young beautiful woman of her early 20’s again for a few moments in quiet contemplation, “Come on Mom your smarter than this. You have to get dad to stop him or stop him yourself, something. I don’t want to see everything you and dad worked so hard for disappear. I don’t want to disappear.”
When she spoke again her voice had gone from kind, embarrassed to fierce, determined as she said, “It may not be my place but…” and her eyes had a cool ferocity to them that her father said was all her mother when she was truly pissed.
“What?” Chloe replied curious but careful about what might be said.
Ariel was impressed her mother cool keep her cool so well even though her nerves were probably to their breaking point.
“That guy your with…he’s dangerous. I’ve seen that look in his eyes before, there’s nothing good there. Watch yourself.”
“You have no idea where I’ve seen that look, thank God,” Ariel thought to herself
“Well, um…thank you for the concern but I think I can handle it.”
“Okay Mom if that’s what you want to think. Your brave and smart but right now you’re definitely up there on the how dumb can I be scale,” Ariel thought with a smirk on her face but her reply was cool.
“Yeah that’s what they all say until it’s taken out of their hands, but if that’s how you want it just remember…”
“What?”
Her reply to this statement of her mother’s was meant to send a point that her other words had just hinted at, “You’re the only one that can stop him,” as she entered the room across from Chloe and Davis’ and shut the door.
“Okay, Ariel way to go. Now go make sure words made their mark and then leave for Metropolis,” Ariel told herself as she stood on the other side of the door listening to Chloe walk away to the breakfast area in the hotel. Once she heard her mother sit down to eat she went down keeping herself hidden and watched as Davis and Chloe ate their breakfasts. Davis looked calm but eyed people closely. She watched as Chloe ate a little bit of her food and watched Davis closely. Ariel could see her words had gotten to Chloe; that Chloe was thinking things out more clearly than she had been and she felt her job there was done.
“Now off to Metropolis and her stubborn father. Oh, boy was this going to be the hard one,” she thought as she turned back to get her things, returned the key – just as Chloe and Davis were leaving, and left at super speed for Metropolis when she saw no one watching her.
