A/N: Ok so I've been working on this for quite some time hoping to have it completely written before I posted. However I wanted to see if there was any interest before doing all that. I have several chapters written so if there is any interest in more all I need is one review and I'll continue. HINT HINT. Hope you enjoy!
"My source says he's somewhere in Kansas."
"Kansas? What kind of planet is that?"
"It's not a planet, it's some sort of city on Earth."
"Ah! Are you sure that he's there?"
"My source is reliable. All we need now is to find him and destroy him before he can stop us."
"Excellent, this should be enjoyable. I've always wanted to visit Earth."
Clark stepped inside and took a deep breath. He could smell pie being baked in the oven and smiled. Lana had really tried to step into the role of domestic partner, but so far had no luck. Before he left to do his chores this morning he had heard her talking to his mom, practically begging her for advice on how to bake those famous Kent pies. He could hear his mom laugh and soon the two of them were engrossed in deep pie baking conversation.
"What's that smile for?" Lana asked as she walked into the kitchen to check on the pie. "If it's about the pie, I hope you're hungry. You're mom gave me a few tips and this one should actually be edible."
She pulled the pie out and held it up to be inspected by Clark.
"It actually does look good." He admitted before he went to give her a quick kiss before cleaning up. "Is mom still going to meet us in Metropolis for dinner?"
Lana placed the hot pie on the cooling rack. "Yeah, she has a charity ball the following night. After that she's hoping to come home for a few days."
Clark sighed. He missed his mom more than he thought he would have. But she was doing something she truly cared about and was good at so he couldn't complain too much. Besides he could visit her anytime he wanted. Just as Lana was dishing out the pie, Chloe showed up practically breaking the door down in her haste.
"Clark we have a serious problem." She began before she even made it all the way through the door.
"Hi Chloe." Clark replied.
"Want some pie?" Lana asked sweetly. "I think I've finally got it right."
"Hello? Didn't you hear me?" Chloe asked indignantly.
"Yes we did, but can we first exchange pleasantries?" Clark returned.
"Alright, fine. How are you? I'm fine considering that Oliver Queen's satellites picked up an unidentified flying object landing just outside of Topeka." She finished hurriedly.
Clark's attention was now fully on the blonde reporter. "Are you sure?"
Chloe dug in her bag and pulled out some satellite imagery and shoved them at Clark.
"After taking a good look at them I was sure that you would want to see them. What does this mean Clark? Do you think they're good or bad?"
"Hold on Chloe, we don't know anything yet." Clark interrupted her before her questions spun out of control.
"Well we can't just sit around and wait for them to come to you."
"How do you know that they'll come to me?" Clark questioned.
"Don't they always? You're the only alien on this planet and any visitors we get always come for you." Chloe pointed out. "Plus they landed in Kansas, and unless they're here for the corn, what else would they be here for?"
Clark thought a moment. "Oliver's seen this?"
Chloe nodded. "He said to call him if you think it's anything that you have to deal with…together." She added. She remembered Oliver's conversation with her earlier. He made her promise that she would make Clark seek help if he needed it.
"Alright, I'll call Oliver and set up a time to meet. But first let's have some pie." And just like that Clark Kent's smile made every problem seem to disappear.
But the problem was far from fixed when two creatures emerged from their ship and took long looks at the scenery around them.
"It's more beautiful than I could have imagined." The leader commented.
"I hear the women are even more beautiful." His companion added as his face broke into a maniacal grin and dragged his tongue across his lips.
The leader looked at him. "Don't even think of it. First we have to finish what we came here to do." His companion looked crestfallen. "But don't worry, once we complete our business, you'll have all the time you want for pleasure."
