A/N: Good day or good night to you. Wherever you are right now. Here's another Clois fic to read. I hope that you will like it the same way you followed my first serial fic, So Close and yet so Far. I planned to post it by the end of February or first week of March (when Infamous episode will be aired on US TV) because I really don't know what will be the outcome of this fic (most especially with everything that happened from Smallville Season 8's episodes 11-14). But carito suggested that we should do it, so here it is.
I'm open to your comments and suggestions. Any violent reactions should be sent through my PM. I have no formal training about writing fictions. So forgive me for my mistakes.
I want to say thank you to three of the most important people who made Serendipity to come true.
Carito_2p – Whew! I never expected that we did this CLOIS fic together. Despite of the eleven-hour time difference between Asia and South America, we managed to do it and we're almost done. Gracias for providing me your never ending ideas and being the energetic one. We always had this brainstorming sessions during nighttime on your part and daytime on my side. Your sleeping time is around three or four o' clock in the morning, that's a real sacrifice on your part. Thank you very much Sis, it's a great feeling to work with some one like you.
MShaharo – A very talented Clois friend from you tube who provided the Main Theme of Serendipity, the title of the song is Safest Place to Hide by Backstreet Boys. Thanks for granting my request. By the way, I'm still waiting for the full version of that Clois vid (lol!).
A friend of carito_2p – For helping us to correct all the mistakes we made. I really don't know who you are but I wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Special Dedication for Prologue:
Remey74 – thanks for boosting my confidence with regards to this particular story.
Lenie de Jesus – one of my closest friends since elementary. Who keeps on lending her ear while I'm talking with my non-sense ideas. And keeps on supporting me with my ambition of becoming a writer. Until now, I'm a frustrated one. Hahaha! Salamat ng marami sa suporta. *Sniffs*. Lol!

SERENDIPITY
Prologue: Fireball
It wasgetting dark, and the woman was afraid they might be lost. She wasn't the type to get scared, but she had her four year old daughter with her. The cold weather only compounded the nervousness she felt about being back in the old corn village.
"Mommy, where are we? I'm sleepy already," the little girl asked her mother as she squeezed her Bunny and caressed the soft white fur while sheclutchedit to her chest, yawning.
The lady looked at the side mirror of her car and saw the sign Route 31.
"We're almost there. Are you hungry sweetie?"the lady askedpinching her daughters little nose.
"Nope! Look Mommy. Shooting stars!" The young girl stared with wide eyes, totallyforgetting how tired she was. "I'll make a wish." She whispered inaudible words while hugging her favorite toy. The woman smiled a bit seeing how her daughter cherished the one last thing she only had from her father.
"May I know your wish?" the lady smirked. Her little girl was very smart.
"I hope that Daddy's here with us," the little girl smiled. Her long chocolate brown and curly hair was tied in a ponytail.
The lady smiled bitterly now she saw the signboard which gave her a sigh of relief... The signboard said, "Welcome to Smallville!"
"Mommy look out! Is that a fire ball?" The woman looked at 'the thing' her girl pointed out.
"Oh my God! Not again! Why does this happen everytime I come to this stupid town?..."
She made a sudden turn of the steering wheel to prevent 'the thing' from hitting them straight on. Then she covered her daughter's body with hers. When 'the thing' landed, it exploded "WHAAMM" followed by an aftershock.
Seconds after a man rose from the hole made by the fireball. He wore a blue suit with a red cape and boots. He looked around the surroundings, and he used all his senses. He heard a child crying. He paid attention to a familiar heartbeat. He never expected that after all these years; he was still longing on that specific rhythmic pattern. Using his super speed and x-ray vision, he spotted a car near the cornfield.
"Mommy… Mommy… Please wake up!" a little girl was trapped under the body of her mother. She probably used her own body to shield her child.
The tall man opened the car's door, "Are you all right?" The man asked the young girl in front of him...
The little girl is frightened of the blood flowing from her mother's shoulder. He examined both of them, the girl was physically fine, but still in shocked. The woman was bleeding because of the broken windshield, but no broken bones. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you and your Mom to the hospital. Don't cry, everything's gonna be okay," With the comforting words coming from the stranger, the child nodded and dried her tears using the back of her hand. He added, "Are you afraid of flying?" The girl just shook her head. "Okay, put your hands around my neck and I'll carry you on my back." The child followed his instruction. Then he gently scooped the woman and put away the locks of hair from her face. He blinked a couple of times upon seeing her facial features. She reminded him of someone. When he had the full and closer view of the lady's face, he finally recognized her,
"Lois!"
The woman in her blurry vision glanced up at the familiar voice before everything faded into black.
