Introduction
For Clark Kent, the thing in her life that just happens to be the most complicated and gets in her way a lot of the time just happens to be Billionaires. And she is terrified of them because they have money and that they can use that money to abduct her to experiment on her because of what she is, an alien. This was something that was planted in her head when she was a child usually by her Dad that was worried about her safety and wellbeing. Others he would warn her about was also the government with their top-secret labs wanting to dissects her, which would give her nightmares.
So, she grew up not really trusting the richest of the rich but where she lived no Millionaires or Billionaires lived in the nearby area because it was after Kansas, and a place called Smallville. And she liked most of the people in her town because they were all locals they all knew each other and there was no stranger between any of them so there was nothing to worry about.
Let me tell you something about Playboy Billionaires.
Let's start with the one with the black hair and the ice blue eyes that are hauntingly beautiful and yet also terrifying at the same time, like they can see into your soul and you are being swallowed whole as you are drowning in them.
Bruce Wayne was The Batman. The Dark Knight, Caped Crusader and known by other many names given to him that are just as dark and describe him very well. And he is the most complicated person that she had ever met and such a split personality from each of his personalities or personas thinking about them would give you one hell of a migraine.
Now the second one. The one that has sandy blue hair that has golden locks which you could never buy. And he had got his hair cut or rather shaved it off, which upset many of his twisted and adoring fans that just love had his hair and mourned for it. They mourned more for his hair than they did when they all thought that he was dead for five years.
Instead he was stranded on an Island for five years because he was shipwrecked and managed to get there and he was very lucky he did not drown with the other. Whatever happened to him made him the person he is today. And that is a whole new story that she knew nothing about and respectfully she did not want to cross that line into his private life, stepping into his past and just crossing a line that no one should.
And back to describing him physically he had puppy dog eyes that would melt your heart has changed into emotionless eyes if you looked carefully enough and if a certain person did not keep saying things like this making her notice and having it stuck in her brain forever. Oh, there was also the fact that he was also Green Arrow another Billionaire vigilante but he does not wear a cape on his back just the old bows and arrows.
And they also happen to go by the nicknames of Brucie and Ollie nicknamed by their loved ones, fans and the media in a pain staking hilarious way which only a few people would actually call them face to face. And if they did and they did not happen to like this person or liked being called this by person or were not allowed as this person was thinking of it as joke or a subtle dig. This person would likely to receive a deadly glare and/or a bruised arm because of 'light' punch to the arm that was just meant to be a joke but was not.
They also had a lot of anger issues which they kept concealed at bay in the inside which would just make them more violent when they were angry and in a fight. Which would explain the bruises, the black eyes broken bones and just everything that was broken or cracked.
The secrets about them being Vigilantes would be a secret that people would kill for or pay a King's or rather a Queens ransom just to know one of them. And many insane people would definitely kill for it to be kept a secret from everyone and kill anyone that get in their way and some that they the secret would.
And unfortunately, she knew both of their secret identities. But it was not like that they knew that. It was a secret that you wanted to share but at the same time you did not want to share or anyone else to know.
But these two secrets were nothing compared to the secret or rather secrets that she had depending on how you look at it. The secret that she had was big no massive and was the secret that would change everything, how you would look at everything and it would change history.
And there also happened to be Lex Luthor also a Billionaire that kept many secrets from the world but unlike the other two his secrets are of the murderous type, secrets that the world should know about. But if anyone happened to come across this secret they would likely end up with a bullet right in the back or front of the skull. Nut more than likely disappear like smoke as if they never existed and so would everything they ever owned, along with their complete background and history.
She was convinced that he was pure evil and just maybe there was not anything good about him inside or not because there was never a shred of humanity in him. No matter how little it was or how deep and twisted it was she believed that there was good in everyone and she wanted to help everyone find it. Even if he was a shark dressed in a suit there was some kindness in him there just had to be because that was what most of the world had seen and she wanted more than anything for them to be right.
Chapter One
And thinking of this made her remember the first time that she told someone the truth about herself. It was to her best friend and was something that she could never forget ever.
It was tearing her apart inside and out she could physically feel the pain and she could not live like this so she had to tell someone, she just had to. So, she chooses her best friend Pete Ross to be the first and possibly only person that she would ever tell because she knew she could trust him with the truth.
" Pete, you are not going to believe what I have to tell you because it is pretty shocking and I have no idea how you are going to react so please keep an open mind when I tell you Ok! " said Clark.
" You are starting to worry me Clark " said Pete jokingly but still concerned.
But she took a deep breath in and began to speak the truth because she felt like she needed to tell someone about it so she could hear it out loud and so that she could finally take it all in. Once it was out in the open maybe just then she could fully believe it herself because deep down she was trying to convince herself that it was not true so she could look herself in the mirror and she would not be a monster or a thing in her own eyes because she was not sure just what she is yet or what the hell she should even call herself.
" I have evidence that aliens exist " said Clark.
" Are you serious Clark! Because of all people to believe in aliens I never thought that you would be one of them. Not that I am one of them but I am interested in what you have to say because I cannot wait to hear it " said Pete.
" I already know that you believe in aliens considering all the movies you make me watch with you. Plus, I have seen your room with all the books and you are a fanatic about aliens Pete. It is no secret that you believe in them and considering your favourite film is ET which you like to talk about constantly and make me watch every single Halloween and for some reason Valentine's Day " said Clark doing her best not to roll her eyes and nearly succeeding until the bitter end.
" Really so where is this evidence ? " said Pete rubbing his hands together excitedly.
" You are looking at it " said Clark gesturing to herself as she looked him in the face but not looking him in the eye.
" I do not see this evidence " said a clueless Pete looking around the room.
" It is me I am E.T from Kansas " said Clark.
She had no idea what the hell what she was saying at this point but she was just trying to get it out and it was all coming out all the wrong way and not like the speech that she had written. That was now upstairs in her room which she had so desperately wished that she had with her but had stupidly forgotten.
" What like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz ? " said Pete teasing.
" Dorothy ? She was not an alien " said Clark angry but then started to scratch at the back of her neck as she was thinking " But you could say that she an alien in OZ ? " said Clark as herself.
Interesting and fun fact Dorothy meaning: Gift of God.
She was so nothing like Dorothy Gale from the Wizard of Oz. Except the part where she is or was depending on how you look at they both are Orphans and sent to live with someone else. Dorothy was sent to her Aunt and Uncle's and she was sent to the with the Kent who would raise her as their daughter and they would be her Mother and Father.
Apart from the fact that she lived on a farm and that farm was in Kansas where her farm was located.
Also, there was the interesting way of transportation of getting to where she needed to go. She had a space ship and Dorothy had a pair of ruby slippers. And they both also had the whole Tornado thing in common as well if Dorothy was able to destroy the one that took her to Oz?
Also interesting fact red happens to be her favourite colour but sometimes it also could be blue depending on the kind of mood she was in at the time or how old she was. But both colours no matter what happened to be her favourite colour and if she really had to pick she could not pick, not really. Then she wondered what would other people's favourite colours because you could never really tell.
Pete would say that his favourite colour is the colour of the Metropolis Sharks and he would say this to his dying breath but she really knew that it was purple.
Lana was obvious pink.
Mum and Dad the sweet loved sick couple was also happened to be red because of the blanket that she was wrapped up in when they found her in.
Chloe whatever colour her mood ring was or the colour of a good cup of coffee or tea or the other caffeine drinks that the list just goes on and on.
Green Arrow and Batman do you really need to guess what their favourite colours are ?
And back to the Dorothy thing she also had a pet dog.
And there also happened to be the time where she dressed up as Dorothy for three Halloween's in common. Pete would always dress up as an alien, a friendly alien of course which also happened to make her very happy about that.
There was also the fact that Wizard of Oz also was her favourite film when she was kid and was all she would watch constantly annoying her parents almost into insanity because she knew it word by word.
Also "Somewhere over the Rainbow " was her favourite sing to sing constantly as she did her chores and hum it constantly. And her parents never did get fed up with her singing it because they said that she had a beautiful voice. But too bad for her stage fright and that she was too scared to sing in front of others that were not family or people that were really close friends that she would consider family. The one time she did get her solo in church and had a complete melt down and forgot her line and just forgot to sing, she was just glad that YouTube had not be invented at that time. Still gave her nightmares to this very day thinking about that moment of shame and embarrassment.
Stage fright!
The song also happened to remind her of her powers and the fact that she was really looking for something else something that she could not reach. And when she learned that she could fly was when it really spoke to her and each verse spoke to her more and more. And the part of babies crying she could hear them and so much more people crying and sometimes for help.
Also, she had a dog which she loved more than anything and her Dad did kind of looked like the Scarecrow but she was not going to tell him that. But she did tell her Mum in as a joke who just looked and then started bursting out laughing when she saw him put the scarecrow up in the field the next day. And he remained clueless to why the both of them were laughing at him and pointing because he had hay stuck in his hair. Still a funny memory to this day and still made her smile when she thought about it.
Now she could Pete stare at her while she was in her deep thought and she then realized that she was making her confession to him.
'Oh, right the whole I am an alien confession' she thought as she guilty smiled.
" Clark ? " said Pete snapping her back into full reality.
She just twiddled with her thumbs and nodded ready for what Pete had to say.
" I do not believe Clark you are the most normal person I have ever met, well maybe too normal ? " said Pete as he was thinking about it.
But she gave him a serious and sincere look that made him think about it.
" So ? " said a curious Pete.
" If you really are an alien does that mean you have ...well ?..." Pete was now blushing for some reason at this point " Like extra things! Like powers or something that us mere human does not have ? " said Pete.
Then he started to look at her chest which immediately made her arms covering them.
" Do you have like three breasts or something ? " said Pete.
Her mouth just gaped open in shock and stayed that way as Pete continued to say the most inappropriate things that should never be said or even cross someone's mind. Especially when this person was meant to be their best friend.
" And what about you know down there ? " said Pete pointing.
Now his next line still to this day made her mad.
" Can I see ? " said Pete.
Now she was mad and she could see Pete had immediately regretted what he had just said because he was now backing away.
" Why are your eyes all red and scary looking ? " said Pete.
She quickly covered her eyes with her hands stopping her head vision coming out and just burning her heads.
And now when it stopped and she removed her hands they were now smoking or smoke was coming from them.
" Pete, you should really think about what you are going to say before you say it. Pervert " said Clark as she covered her chest again.
Awkward moment of silence as they were both turning red.
" So, my Best Friend is an alien " said Pete coming to the realisation.
She could not really muster a word to say because she was waiting for his reaction and let him do it on his own.
" That is so cool and I am sorry about ..." said Pete as his eyes started to lower.
Now she moved her arms and tightened them into fists angrier at Pete again but happy as well.
" STOP LOOKING AT MY CHEST...They are perfectly normal, two and all everything his physically normal about me " said a very loud and angry Clark in that moment.
Pete just gave her a cheeky yet apologetic look.
" You are still looking " said Clark.
" I can't help...believe me Clark honest to God I wish I could but I am going to need some time to take it all in. But I do think it is cool and you do not have anything to worry about I will not tell a single soul I swear on my entire comic book collection, cross my heart and hope to die and all that " said Pete.
She smiled happily " Pinkie swear " said Clark.
" Pinkie swear " said Pete smiling.
Awkward silence as they both looked at the ground looking at their feet.
" So, a quick game of basketball and you can show me what else you are capable of " said Pete.
She smiled and zoomed across the room grabbing the basketball in a blink of an eye making Pete rubbing his eyes in shock.
" Pete you have got no idea what you are in for " said Clark.
She told him her secret three weeks after her parents had told her the truth and because she needed to talk to someone other than her parents. She needed to be able to trust someone her own age and someone that she could talk to and trust. She just had to speak to someone or she would go insane with all the thoughts inside her head because she was feeling more alone in her life at this point. Even more so when she was told that she was adopted and things became clearer and less clear at that point. But also making her more distant from others and making her feel more isolated and more of a freak than ever because she had no idea what the hell she was.
She had not regretted telling Pete ever.
Well except when he spent the next four years of High School trying to convince her to become a Superhero and do a hell a lot more research on aliens and vigilantes. And getting Chloe involved in this and making it almost a daily thing for them and so much that it would drive a sane person mad. But she just got over it eventually and sadly she got a little interested in it after the nonstop and the digging that they did she had found what she wanted to do with her life to be a Journalist.
Chloe was the same except she was going for private detective and wanting to write books instead but journalism would be her stepping stone to the her ultimate book she could write the next undercover seedy dark type book she wanted to write an expose. The ultimate one and she would not stop until she got what she wanted even if it crossed some lines to get to it. Which would terrify everyone and make her less trusting which gave her less friends and was just bad.
But Chloe, she eventually stumbled upon her secret or rather spaceship and she had to tell her the truth and practically beg her not to tell anyone. And thankfully she did not tell anyone her secret but she left town after a year of knowing missing their senior year because she had finished early without telling anyone.
Pete, he wanted to join F.B.I or C.I.A so he could find out more about area 51 which was the happiest moment of his life when he found out it was real.
She could not help but laugh but she knew he was serious and that it would be something that he would be great at.
