Freak of he week

I was planning on finishing „Second Chance" ( check it out under "Crossovers with BATB") and then starting with this one.

highlander348 however had some ideas for the crossover I am currently writing. I couldn't quite use them in that story so I promised to use part of it in another I was planning to write. So for my reviewer's sake I am writing this first chapter now. I will let you know what the idea was when time comes. I am not taking credit for an other person't work. :)

In this story Clark is saving Smallville from meteor freaks like in the series. He has never met Lana, though. After the meteor shower her aunt took her with her to Metropolis. What will happen when their paths eventually cross? Clark is currently in a relationship with Alicia Baker. No one knows about her abilities except from Clark, her family and his. Will their relationship last?

I chose Alicia because she was my second favorite with Clark. Yes she was too obsessive at first, but who could blame her? Her parents were locking her up for years. The fact that she was able to fight her psychosis showed how much of a strong and good person she was. She changed for his sake, became a better person. In my opinion a much better one than most in Smallville. She took a bullet just to protect his secret. Who does that? I think that it is a shame that only Lana and Lois are always mentioned. He might not have loved Alicia as much as he did Lana, maybe not even as much as he loves Lois (yes, I believe he loved Lana more), but he deeply cared for this woman. And she truly loved him. Also, they looked great as a couple. So no matter how this story ends, Alicia will be respected and I won't make her obsessed. (Alicia was in season 3, so yeah it is in a kind of AU but apart from Lana it is season 3)


Prologue – Clark's deserved happiness

Clark was exhausted. Another meteor freak had prevented his sleep. He just wanted to go back to bad, but that wasn't going to happen- school.

'Hey, handsome,' a familiar voice said while he was hugged from behind.

He turned around to face the most beautiful smile he had ever seen.

'Alicia,' he breathed his own face also lightning up with a smile.

'I missed you,' she pouted, 'I really wish your parents wouldn't be so strict about me staying over. It is not like we would do anything without their permission in their house.

'Nope, we would never do that in their house,' he smirked.

She playfully hit him on the chest. 'Idiot,' she said but her eyes were melting in his with love.

They were together for six months now. Despite Alicia's abilities they respected the house rules and she never teleported in his room. Outside the house though…

Clark put his arm around her as the bell rang. He didn't care about sleep deprivation. As long as he thought about their date later in the Kawatche caves he was going to stay awake. He just had to get through the day.


Alicia was lying on his bare chest. She was drawing circles with her finger on his stomach. His eyes were closed.

'You didn't sleep much again, did you?' she asked. She hated to see him so worn out.

'Well, I wish every meteor infected person would do as great as you do. But not everybody is that amazing,' he said with a smile and kissed her.

'You are not doing so badly yourself,' she winked.

He flinched at this. It was the only lie he had told her. He has told her that he always had his powers. That he didn't know how or when he got them- maybe he was born this way, but he couldn't be quite sure. Alicia had just assumed that it was during the meteor shower and he was too young to remember it. He didn't correct her. He hated himself for that, but he thought that it was safer her this way. Besides he couldn't be sure how she would react about his true identity.

'Hey, don't look like that!' she complained when she caught his mood, 'What's wrong? I don't like seeing you troubled.'

She gave him her warmest and most sincere smile and Clark already felt his mood lighten.

'Nothing is wrong when you are smiling at me,' he honestly answered. He smiled at her.

'You are the most beautiful thing in my life,' he confessed – not for the first time. He rolled them over, placed himself on top of her and looked her deep in the eyes.

'I love you,' he whispered and kissed her softly. It didn't take them long to turn this gentle kiss into a more passionate one.

Right there in her arms kissing her, caressing her soft skin, Clark Kent was happier than he ever thought he could be. He could spent eternity in her embrace.

Just for a view hours he would forget about his problems, his origin, his secret, the meteor freaks. He would just cherish the precious moments with her. The moments that gave him the strength to continue.


So yeah, highlander348 will have to wait a little bit for the idea to be mentioned.

Will the couple's happiness last? Will Clark really spent a lifetime with her?

I know that Lana's fans might be upset that Clark had his fist time with Alicia. Others will be upset it wasn't Lois. But I believe he had feelings for Alicia, so why not?

Let me know what you think so far. I promise there won't be only romance! I am planning to bring some meteor freaks in the game. The story is called "Freak of the week" after all! ;)
