Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Once Clark, Dinah and Bart had finalized things he just couldn’t seem to focus on much more than the upcoming showdown. Ariel had come back cooled off but not talking to him.
“Nice going Clark your own daughter won’t talk to you,” he thought to himself as he made supper for them.
After they ate Ariel went up to sleep or so she said Clark didn’t really know and he really didn’t care at the moment. He couldn’t focus his thoughts at the farm like he usually could so he left for Metropolis and the Daily Planet. He felt he had to say goodbye to the people of Metropolis if he couldn’t change what Ariel’s history says would happen tonight.
“Was it already the day, the night he died? How quickly time moves when you don’t want it to?” he thought to himself as he slowed down about a block away from the Daily Planet and continued to walk. Watching the city around him with a new fascination.
A few hours later…
~My Wish by Rascal Flatts starts to play~
Found a serious and determined Clark focused completely on the “goodbye letter” he was typing to the citizens of Metropolis that he would get Lois to print up in the paper if the unthinkable happened. He was so focused he didn’t even notice when Lois’ footsteps entered the building and headed his way.
Clark had just taken a moment to contemplate everything and look at the Legion ring Ariel had given him thinking maybe he should use it when fighting Doomsday but as quickly as that thought came to mind it left. He was not about to set loose a monster on an unsuspecting people Lord knew when it was bad enough he was doing it in his time now.
He had just put the Legion ring back in its box and put it in his drawer and was typing up the last bit of the letter when he heard a voice he had come to know well but still grated on his nerves every once in awhile. Clark looked up from typing to find Lois standing in the doorway with her arms folded across her chest. She wore a black suit jacket and pants with a pink suit shirt underneath.
“Chloe’s missing with some beasty boy and you’re doing what exactly?”
“Oh, boy she’s pissed. How stupid could I be?” he thought to himself, “I knew I should have focused my super hearing to what was around me but I didn’t. Stupid Clark!”
Even though he knew why she was acting out he so wanted to yell at her for her inconsiderate words but what came out of his mouth was, “No one wants to find Chloe more than I do.”
“Except maybe me. Clark, I haven’t slept for days and I am dangerously close to a caffeine OD,” Lois stated as she stepped over to desk with a seriously worried tone to her voice.
“I hadn’t noticed,” he replied looking down at his desk feeling a bit of shame. Here he was worried about his best friend and what he might have to do when her cousin, her family, her blood was just as worried if not more so than him.
As he focused again on his letter to check it over once more for spelling or anything like that he heard Lois let out a breath as if to calm herself and then she said in a kinder voice, “Okay, do you want to at least tell me about this little Nobel you’re working on that’s so important,” as she walked to stand beside his chair leaning over his shoulder to look at his computer screen. Though when she went to read what was on the screen he closed out of it quickly to which she replied hurt by his actions, “Great, another ricochet off the impenetrable force field.”
He kept his eyes on the computer screen but thought to himself, “You have know I idea Lois, but I’m not as impenetrable as you think.”
Getting mad at Clark more and more she huffed, “Forget it,” and headed for the coffee machine to get another cup for herself so maybe she could work on something. Just as she took a deep breath to calm herself one of the phone’s began to ring. She looked over at the desks to find Clark gone and the phone still ringing so she quickly forgot the much needed coffee and went to answer it.
“Hello?”
“Ms. Lane,” Clark said into his cell phone which had a voice changer on it from within the phone booth right outside the doors to the room Lois was standing in right at that moment.
Lois let out another breath and answered, “Its you.”
“I’ve been searching for your cousin Chloe…I am going to find her,” he stated as he watched from within the booth as Lois stood with her back to him in the other room on the phone.
“How did you even know she was missing?”
“I’ve been keeping an eye on you,” he replied. “Not that I’m into you or anything Lois but now that you’re a report I want to make sure you don’t learn about me and if you did you were safe. Being around me and knowing my secret not a good thing for people,” he thought to himself sarcastically.
“Huh, to be honest was kind of hoping for that, but I didn’t know how to call you and...then now here you are…out of…out of nowhere to save the day and I just…” she rambled as she moved from standing by the phone to her chair, but stopped herself and took a breath and continued talking on the phone, “I’m rambling again. You just make me so…uh…I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to repay you for this.”
He watched her collect her nerves as best she could and when she finished talking looked down at the floor thinking for a moment how sorry he was about having to do things this way but replied turning around in the booth to look at the letter he had printed off, “You could do me a favor. I need you to publish a letter for me.”
“What letter?” and just as she finished asking the question a gust of wind passed her and as she looked around her to try and see if she could see the Red Blue Blur something in her side view caught her eye. There on her computer sat a white envelope.
She got an excited smile on her face and turned around to face the back of the reporter’s den area asking, “You’re here aren’t you?” and then she excitedly turned back to the letter beginning to open it even though Clark who she thought as the mysterious Red Blue Blur said, “You’re not supposed to open it yet…Can I count on you to publish that letter if anything happens to me?” he asked seriously as he watched Lois read it even though he was frustrated that she had opened right away like that.
“Goodbye? What do you mean goodbye?” she said as she read the letter through.
“Sometimes we can’t outrun our destiny,” he replied moving away from watching her.
“But I thought you were invincible?” she asked softly.
“So did I,” he said with finality in his voice.
“I want to meet you. I have to see your face. I have to see you. I…I want you to show me what you can’t show anyone else. You can trust me, please,” she said standing again gaining a desperate but excited tone in her voice.
“I’m sorry that’s not a good idea.”
“Look you can come through this. You have to. And when you do…how do you feel about phone booths?” she asked at the end of her little spiel.
He looked around him at the phone booth he now stood in and replied, “There fine.”
“Um…There’s one on 4th and Main. Let’s say midnight. I’ll be there…”
He opened his mouth to say something but she went on to say, “I hope you’ll be there too. And thank you, if anyone can save Chloe I know it’s you.”
After this he hung up the phone and thought to himself, “Your God damn right it’ll be me saving Chloe. I want her back just as much as you do. But I wonder if I’ll survive to see her, Metropolis, Smallville, the world again?”
