Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
Lois was just putting of the finishing touches of her makeup when she heard the door bell ring. Already knowing who it was Lois yelled through the door "Come on in."
Clark heard her and walked in. Not seeing her at first Clark called out her name. "Lois, where are you?"
"In here and quick I need your help"
Clark rushed into Lois's bedroom not knowing the situation but was ready to help. When Clark came in it took a minute to register what was going on. He saw Lois in a red cocktail dress, like the one she wore when she went undercover on a date with a murder. Clark stood there with his jaw open and eyes ogling her every curve. Wow… she looks incredible… wait did I just say that…well it is true… no Kent get a hold of yourself this is Lois your thinking about… she's , bossy, rude, stuck up, amazing, smart, beautiful …Do I have feelings for Lois? Would it be so bad if I did...? Clark was brought out of his inner monologue by a yelling Lois.
"Smallville. SMALLVILLE. CLARK."
"Sorry Lois, my mind was somewhere else"
"You got that right, now I need you to zip" Lois ordered as she turned around to show off her slender and barley covered back.
"Y-ya n-no problem" Clark stuttered as he approached Lois slowly and began to reach for the zipper that was dangerously low and way to close to her skin. Clark put his fingers on the zipper and slowly dragged it up her back. He tried not to, but his finger grazed her soft skin. He could feel the warmth that radiated off her back. For some reason Clark didn't know, he liked it. And for some reason it felt right for him being this close to her.
Lois also liked it. When she felt his finger glide against her back she shuddered and felt her heart skip a beat. Clark hands are so warm… wait why are you thinking like this… come on this is Clark "farm boy" Kent… its like hot fudge and halibut…don't think about his hands or his chest or his lips … no no no don't think like this Lois. Is it wrong to think about Clark this way? Lately we have been having these moments and we almost kissed at Chloe and Jimmy's wedding but Lana just had to show up… and I have to admit I was kind of jealous of that Maxima chick with Clark in the elevator… I wish that was me… Do I have feelings for Smallville? Lois was called out of her trance by the absents of warmth from Clark's hands and the sound of his voice.
"All done!" Clark announced proud but there was a hint of sadness in his voice because he couldn't feel her anymore. And just wanting to touch her one more time he put his hands on her shoulders and asked "Ready? Were going to be late."
"Yep, but do we need to go over the plan again?"
"Were going under as a couple to the Gala so we can get sneak into Dr. Ramore's office and get the files to see what he is really researching."
"Right and just remember were suppose to be a couple so act like you at least like me a little bit." Lois said as she hit him in the shoulder. Then began to put her over coat on, but suddenly felt Clarks hands helping her and putting his hand on her shoulder one more time and leaving it there a few seconds longer than needed.
"I no." I don't really think it will be that hard Clark thought to himself, as he finally pulled back his hand.
The Gala went by perfectly. No one suspected that they were undercover reporters and Clark and Lois really acted like a couple. They danced close to each other, held hands, and Lois even let Clark pull out her chair for her. But their fun was soon ended when Lois saw an opportunity to go sneak up to the office, and she was not going to miss it.
They headed up to the office and got a good look around and right when they were going to give up Lois found a folder marked confidential.
"What's that?" Clark said noticing the file in Lois's hand. He walked over and leaned over her shoulder.
They read the file silently to themselves and then give each other a knowing look. Clark and Lois heard footsteps coming and quickly tried to hide the file behind her back but then the knob slowly began to turn and the next thing Clark new was that someone was kissing him. After realizing it was Lois, Clark shut his eyes and pulled her closer to him.
"Hey, what are you doing in here?" One of the body guards said.
Lois quickly broke the kiss and turned towards the guards. "Sorry we were just…" she let her words trail off.
Clark was still in daze from what Lois did and he was still trying to register things. But then he realized what she did. She wasn't kissing him because she wanted to it was so they would have an "excuse" to be in a secluded spot, and hopefully not get them into to much trouble with the guards. Clark was disappointed by the reason why but knowing that Lois kissed him and knew it was him kind of made him happy. When they first kissed she thought it was Oliver and the other time she was under a love potion and he didn't count that. But this time she knew she was kissing him.
"… We'll just be going." Lois said as she practically had to drag Clark out of the office. But the guard noticed the file still in Lois's hand.
"Hey get back here" The guard said as he started to chase Lois and Clark.
"In here" Lois dragged Clark into what was most likely a storage closet. There would have been probably a lot of room for them but boxes took most of it up, which made them stand so close their lips were mere centimeters away.
"How do we get into these situations?" Clark asked Lois and himself.
Lois and he were trying to get the latest scoop for a story and she decided it would be a good idea to go under cover, and since no one could say no to Lois Lane, Clark couldn't refuse. Supposaly Dr. Ramore was doing more than he said about his research. He was infecting innocent people with meteors them giving those powers. He was planning on building an army of meter infected people. His most powerful, was a young boy, about 16 years old from an orphanage, he had the power to transport people to another time or parallel universe, as they gathered from Dr. Ramore's files on his desk.
"Shhhh, Smallville." Lois put her finger to Clark's mouth to further her demand. She put her ear closer to the door to listen to the voices of the guards arguing about witch way they went. At first Clark was nervous about the close proximity of Lois and himself because of the feelings he started to have towards the one girl who could get underneath his skin and he was still feeling the effects of when Lois kissed him. So when Lois put her finger on Clark's mouth he stumble back word landing on some boxes creating a loud crash. "Good going Clark!"
But before they knew it the door was briskly open with the 3 guards and the meter infected kid they learned about. Clark forced himself in front of Lois in order to protect her. But before he knew it Clark started to feel the effects of Green K from one of the lead lined boxes in the closet that opened when Clark fell so he began to go down. Then in one quick motion the Kid put his hands up to Lois and Clark's heads and there was a bright flash of blue light before everything went dark and the feeling of falling.
Clark was the first to land then followed by Lois on top of him. "Ugh, Clark why do you have to be such a hard landing, are you made of steel or something?" Lois asked as she got off of Clark and put her hand to her head.
Inside Clark was laughing at the true statement. If you only new he thought but out loud said "I'm sorry." Giving Lois his best puppy dog eyes.
"It's alright, where do you think we are anyways?" Lois asked.
Clark noticed a newspaper lying on the ground and picked it up. Looking at the date his eyes widened.
"What is it?" Lois asked as she ripped the paper out of his hands. Her eyes also widened when she saw the date. "2011, 2011, 2011…" Lois said as her voice began to rise.
"Lois…"
"THAT FREAK JUST TRANSPORTED US 3 YEARS INTO THE FUTER…"
"LOIS…"
"WHEN WE GET BACK HIS HEAD IS MINE, IM GONNA…"
"LOIS…" Clark said as he grabbed Lois by the shoulders and forced her to look at him.
"WHAT?"
"You need to be calm we can't draw to much attention to our selves."
"Fine, but how do you sapose we get home?"
"I don't know how bout we go back to the lab and see what we find there?"
"Alright, but do you know where exactly in the future we are?"
Clark peered out of the alley trying to find some clue to where Lois and he were transported by that meteor freak. It looked like metropolis, but it felt different. It was darker and it seemed like there was no hope in the world anymore. Lois felt this too.
He took a step out onto the sidewalk only to have a run in with someone with a news paper covering their face. "Hey, watch were your going" the stranger said. Even though she new it was her fault for the accident, her stubborn self didn't want to admit it. Clark new it to, but he was too stunned at the familiar sound that was coming from the strangers mouth. She slowly removed the paper to revile her self as a future, Lois Lane.
Lois brought her head up to meet Clarks face. She became speechless for the first time.
"Lois?" Clark said barley above a whisper. He looked over his shoulder at a younger Lois stunned by her future self, and then back at this future Lois who looked stunned by seeing him there.
She still stood there, just looking at him for a moment before she brought her lips to his. His eyes widened and his eyebrows went up and inch on his face from the action she took. This was the second time that a Lois surprised him with a kiss in the same day. But before he knew it he depend the kiss with this future Lois. Lois wrapped her hands around Clark's neck and he did the same around her waist. The kiss was nothing like either of them experienced before, it had passion and desire. Longing and love. Their tongues wrestled inside their mouths for dominance and at the same time they both moaned into each other. Only for a desperate need of oxygen they release from each others embrace.
Lois slowly began to open her eyes, "Are you real?" Lois said against Clarks lips. It was a question but she didn't need an answer. Clark was there but it wasn't the real Clark, it was just another dream and any minute she would wake up to the annoying beeping sound of her alarm clock and she new that, he couldn't be there. The VRA captured him and most likely k… Lois couldn't even finish her own thought before tears started to blur her vision. But right now she didn't care; it felt so real to be in his arms to feel the warmth that evaporated off his skin and his touch that always sent shivers down her spine. Lois knew she would wake soon so she wanted to keep hold of this moment for as long as she could.
"Lois I'm…"
"Please don't answer, just hold me" Lois wept out. Clark wiped her tears away with his thumb and pulled her into another long embrace.
Clark had a million questions in his mind. Why did she kiss me? Why did I kiss back? Why is she crying? Why did she ask me if I was real? He had all these things rushing though his mind but the most important one was just the feel of having Lois in his arms and he knew that the questions could wait.
The Present Lois just stood there in shock watching this entire intimate moment between her future self and the farm boy she called Smallville. What the hell is happening? Was all she could ask her self?
Suddenly Clark realized were he was and he turned to yet another puzzled Lois staring at him. He turned back to the Lois in his arms and said "We need to talk?"
"No, I don't want to let you go."
"Lois, I'm not going anywhere."
"You will when I wake up." Lois said as she squeezed Clark tighter.
"Lois look at me, Clark said as he tilted her head to look at him, go back to the farm and I'll meet you there."
"Wait your not coming?"
"I-I have thing to do and then I'll see you there ok?" Clark said as he glanced around and whispered.
"O right I'll meet you there" Things finally started to sink in for Lois. He was back, but something about him seemed different, she knew she had to be cautious but she was just so happy that he was here. Lois leaned up one more time giving him a light kiss on the lips and before he walked away she said "go save the world Smallville". A grin cascaded on her face as she hastily walked to her car.
"And do you want to explain what the hell that was?"
