Authors Note: I apologize for the length that it has taken to post the sequel to the first episode in what will be an ongoing Smallville series. I have finally decided what the focus of this fan fiction is going to be. I have concluded that the rest of these stories will be written the way I write screenplays for television. Hope you enjoy, if you have any problems with this new format please write me and tell me so. (Read & Review)
Smallville: Up, Up, and Away!
Prologue: The Big City
Sun rose over the city of Metropolis. It was a beautiful day. Clark had just arrived by bus from Atlanta, Georgia. He was supposed to have an interview with Perry white today. Clark was incredibly nervous. He could see the large gleaming globe resting on top of the Daily Planet's skyscraper. As Clark neared the large building, he got the impression of haste emanating from the building. As he approached the main doors to the Daily Planet he over heard a young boy in the lobby yelling to someone on the phone.
"No Perry I'm telling you no one has gotten word from the space plane for almost fifteen minutes." Clark now stood right in front of an old wooden telephone booth where the exuberant red head was arguing with his senior editor. "I know Perry I'm worried about Lois too but there simply hasn't been any word of the plane since it entered the atmosphere over Gotham." Just then, an enormous sonic boom shook the building and shattered all of the glass in the lobby. The distraught young man returned to his phone conversation. "Hello Perry I think I found Lois. Call you back when I have details." The young man quickly exited the phone booth running right into Clark. "Excuse me."
"No need for apology, did I just hear you say something about Lois Lane being missing." Clark removed the black fedora from his head and held it in both hands.
"Yeah she's gone and gotten herself trapped on the space plane that's headed for down town Metropolis." The young man shook his head. "To be quite honest I'm not that surprised." he looked about and stared at his watch. "Hey I better get going before we go to print. My name is Jimmy Olsen by the way."
"Nice to meet you Jimmy my name is Kent, Clark Kent." Clark said while shaking Jimmy's hand.
"Guess I'll see you around CK." With that, the young man turned and left.
God Lois what have you gotten yourself into this time. Clark ran out side the daily planet and started to search the sky. Coming straight for the city was a large plane trailing smoke from both of its engines. Jeez, how am I going to stop that thing?
Clark ran down the sidewalk looking for an empty ally. He needed to stop that plane but how was he supposed to do that with out revealing who he was. Scanning the ally, he leaped up to the top of a ten story building. Quickly he removed his blazer and tie. I hope to god this works. Taking a running start, he jumped up into the air and propelled himself towards the plane. To his astonishment it worked perfectly he soared up into the air heading straight for his target. He had done this a few times before but he had never been able to get over his fear of heights. Within seconds, he had reached the plane headed for Metropolis. He strategically positioned himself under the plane and pressed his back against the fuselage. This better work, Clark pushed against the air with his legs acting like the air was solid. With all of his might, he pushed up on the plane with his back. Amazingly it worked he was able to straighten the plane out and guide it into Metropolis Air Terminal. When the plane was safely on the ground, Clark collapsed. Dang that thing is heavy. Clark was not looking forward to doing that again. Clark got up and brushed himself off. The doors to the plane started to open and an energetic Lois Lane tumbled out of the plane.
"Hey you, who are you? Did you just save this plane?" Clark did not want to answer her questions.
"I'm no one special" Clark hoped the deep voice would throw her off. Clark turned and lifted his body into the air.
"Hey what do I call you?" Lois was persistent.
"You can call me what ever you want." Clark flew off as fast as he could.
Lois was left on the ground speechless. "What a superman."
Clark tried to stay under the radar when he went to get his coat. I need to find away to disguise my self. Clark jumped down to the ground. Quickly he ran across the street to a department store. After a few minutes and had selected a white dress shirt to replace the black one he was currently wearing. When he approached the counter to pay for the shirt, he noticed a rack of reading glasses. Grabbing a pair of black frames, he left the store. I hope these glasses will make me look different enough not to tip off Lois. With that Clark walked across the street to the Daily Planet.
