"Clark? Is everything okay? You've been in there a while." Mrs Kent called from her place by the door to the bathroom. Two females stood with her, awaiting for the male to come out so they could prepare before going to the fair. And the male may or may not have been told yet so he was going to be dragged off against his will either way. The elder female had long brown hair tied up in a high ponytail and chocolate-coloured eyes, slightly tanned skin and a tall stature. The one next to her had long raven hair in a braid over her left shoulder and bright blue eyes with a small body stature and pale skin. The two females looked at each other with slightly amused looks as Mrs Kent got an answer.
"I'll be right out!" Clark's meek voice came from behind the door. The smaller female them sniffed the air slightly and rolled her eyes. The taller one glanced at her with questioning eyes, asking if it was what she thought it was. The smaller nodded. Then Mrs Kent smelt it.
"Do I smell smoke?"
"Everything's fine, ma!" Clark called. They heard a flush and the door opened.
"Have you packed yet?" The eldest woman asked, earning a smie from the tall boy in front of her.
"Bags are packed, hay's in the loft and you've got new posts from here to the barn." He informed, counting off on his fingers.
"Hey, cous," The black-haired female smiled. "Big time reporter, huh?"
"I just know you're going to love Metropolis," Mrs Kent cleaned his glasses for him. "My son the reporter!"
"Come on, ma, Kagome. Just a copy boy." He said sheepishly as his glasses were placed back on.
"Oh, come on, Clark. Don't sound so modest. You're gonna do great!" The tall female said cheerily. Clark chuckled.
"Thanks, Sango." He replied.
"It's your last night. You should be out having fun." His mother reprimanded.1
"So we're dragging you off to the fair!" Sango stated, clasping her hands together as she linked arms with him, Kagome joining on the other side. "We'll see ya later, Mrs Kent!"
"Just be careful, you three. You're not like the rest of us." Mrs Kent replied and the trio exited the house together. They hurried over before coming to the brightly coloured fair filled with laughter and chatter, the scent of foods and confectionaries hitting their noses all at once. They looked up as they heard someone call over to them.
"Hey, what about you, son?" A man called, gesturing to his game.
"Clark Kent?" A blond jock snorted. "He couldn't hit the side of a barn!" Clark glared at him and stalked over, putting his money down and getting a ball. He threw it but sadly, it missed, and the group laughed at his failed attempt. "Nice try, Kent. Might wanna stick with pitching hay." Kagome growled lowly.
"If I could maul him, I so would." She grumbled quietly.
"Just leave it." Clark sighed but the two both perked up once hearing something. "Something's not right." He muttered, looking over at the Ferris wheel to see it was starting to fall apart. The trio hurried over and Clark started pushing against the side to hold it up.
"Clark, what do you want us to do?!" Sango asked with worry. His feet started sliding across the ground.
"Help me!" He cried and the two girls started pushing against the side as well, the combined strength of them together holding it up for the time being.
"Need a hand?" A voice caught their attention and they looked up to see a rather large boy in a weird blue spandex suit with yellow tinted goggles resting on his head. He had onyx eyes and black slicked back hair.
"A hand? Oh, uh, no, we're fine! Everything's fine here!" Clark said quickly. Sango let out a yelp as the metal jerked forward and they pushed back once more. They looked up to see it was coming apart even more.
"Go, Clark!" Kagome yelled at him and he hurried beneath the wheel and held it up before it fell as the two girls pushed against the metal.
"It really is you." The large boy stated as two other odd people walked over. A female with blonde hair and a pink and white suit, as well as pink eyes and large pink earrings and a boy with green skin, strange black markings across his body, a trio of circles on his forehead and on his purple and black suit and shaggy blond hair slightly hanging over his purple eyes.
"I'm Saturn girl, this is Brainiac 5. We can help." The girl stated, smiling and looking at Clark before glancing at the two rather strong females helping him keep it together before the side collapsed as well.
"Seriously. I don't need any-" Clark was cut off when the weight on his shoulders was lifted. "...Help." he looked back to see the large boy had inflated into a ball. Kagome and Sango stared in shock.
"The first time I saw him do that, I did the same thing." The blonde girl, Saturn Girl, commented casually.
"Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Kagome asked sternly. So far, she didn't like the look of them. The large boy held out a hand to Clark.
"I'm Bouncy Boy. It's a real honour to meet you!" He said in awe. Clark shook his hand.
"I'm Clark." He replied. "That over here is my cousin, Kagome,"
"Hey." Kagome called, grunting as the metal started to fall back on them and they pushed back once more to hold it up. It was heavy. But it was better than letting it fell on people.
"And Sango." Sango waved at them just as they spotted a croowd forming.
"I'll handle this." Saturn Girl stated, pressing her temples as a pale pink ripple washed over everyone, their eyes glowing the same colour as she spoke in their minds, washing their memories.
"How did you do that?"
"I'll explain later." Saturn Girl turned to Clark. "Right now, those people need our help." She pointed up.
"Sango, cover for me!" Kagome hurried towards Clark and got down, hands held out. Clark stood on her hands quickly and she flung him in the air with surprising strength for her small body and he landed up before fixing the problem.
"Super strength. Just like in the history files!" The other boy, Brainiac 5, looked intrigued.
"Oh, y-yeah, I was just-" Realisation hit Clark. "You're floating."
"Flight ring." Brainiac 5 held up his fist to show him the device. "One of my inventions."
"If you guys are done impressing each other, I think we're finished here." Saturn Girl said with amusement. Sango stood up straight and cracked her back.
"Aaah! That hurts. I'm gonna be sore tomorrow." She mumbled.
"Woah, that lift was amazing!" Bouncy Boy looked at Kagome. "How did you do that?! I've never seen anything about you before!"
"Just training. I look small but I'm not weak." Kagome shrugged and the fair went on as the group left.
"I don't know who you guys are, or what you are, but thanks." Clark smiled at them. "Whatever you do, please don't tell anyone about this."
"Cous, I think they're all right." Kagome admitted, making them look at her. "Their auras are different. Not evil but good. I think they're like u-you." She corrected herself quickly before she said 'us'. She didn't know them truly so she didn't let on that there was something about her and Sango, too. Brainiac 5 narrowed his eyes slightly at her slip up but turned back to Superman.
"She's right. We know all about you." He said.
"Yeah! You're Super-"
"Super with all your powers!" Braniac 5 cut Bouncy Boy off, sending him a look.
"We're... gonna go now." Clark mumbled.
"Awh, c'mon, Clarky. These guys are wackos, I love it!" Sango exclaimed.
"This is probably going to sound crazy, but we need you to come to the future with us." Saturn Girl spring upon him and the trio stared. Kagome tensed up, fists clenching. Sango noticed and rested a hand on her shoulder comfortingly.
"The future? You're right, that does sound crazy."
"You're the only one who can help us!" Brainiac 5 exclaimed, looking a bit desperate.
"I... think you've got the wrong guy." Clark grabbed into the other two females, lifting them up before hurrying off with his super speed. They got home and entered through the door just as a voice called out to them.
"Clark? Your friends from the fair are here!" Mrs Kent called. Kagome sighed. They certainly were persistent. The trio got into the kitchen to see the three sitting at the table, Bouncy Boy eating some pie.
"Oh, no." Clark mumbled as they walked in.
"Hey, Clark! Pie?" Bouncy Boy offered a slice but Clark declined.
"How did you get-never mind." Clark sighed. "Okay, if you are from the future, and I'm not saying that you are, why me?"
"We belong to the Legion of Superheroes. We want you to join us." Brainiac 5 stood up, smiling. Clark laughed.
"Clark Kent. A superhero. Right." He leaned against the counter.
"Why not? Super strength, super hearing, heat vision, you can fly."
"First, how did you know about that stuff? And second, I can't fly." Clark muttered.
"We know this is a lot for you to take in but you've got to believe us." Saturn Girl pleased. Kagome looked them over.
"Clark, they're telling the truth." She said.
"Do you think?"
"No. I know. I can see it. Feel it." Kagome said simply.
"I can't help you." Clark frowned. "I'm sorry. You guys better go before you get in trouble."
"Don't you wanna find out more about your powers?" Saturn Girl stumped him. "Come with us and you won't have to hide them anymore."
"Even if I wanted to, I can't just leave. What about my job?"
"They won't even notice you're gone." Brainiac 5 informed.
"What do you mean?"
"Time travel I'm guessing?" Sango shrugged, earning a nod.
"Come and help us and we'll bring you back to this exact moment at this exact spot." The green-skinned boy smiled at Clark's gaze .
"You can do that?"
"Just in time for chicken and dumpling!" Bouncy Boy said after inhaling the scent of the food .
"Clark? Do your friends wanna stay for supper?" Mrs Kent questioned from upstairs.
"Haven't you ever wondered what your future holds for you? Well, now's your chance to find out." Clark thought deeply.
"I'm going to the future, ma! I'll be back in a few minutes!" He yelled.
"Take a sweater!"
"Hey, if you're going, I'm going." Kagome demanded.
"And me."
"No, that's too dangerous." Brainiac 5 stated.
"I'm not taking no for an answer. Clark is my cousin and I'm not letting him go without me." Kagome growled deeply. "Plus, he isn't the only one with unique traits." Her eyes flashed red for a second and her body started to glow pink before the glow disappeared as quickly as it came. Clark stated at her in awe. He had never seen her powers before so this was something new.
"Intriguing." Brainiac 5 looked them over. "Fine." He fiddled with something on his wrist and a portal appeared before a large bubble materialised out of nothing. They clambered inside and headed off, into the future.
