Smallville at Twilight
Chapter One
I do NOT own Smallville or Twilight!
BPOV
I expected once I had gotten out of Forks my life would go back to the boring way it had before I had moved there.
How very wrong I was.
I had gotten a scholarship to the University of Metropolis and I left Forks as fast as I could. It's not that I didn't want to leave my dad; it's just everywhere I looked I was somehow reminded of him or them. It hurt too much to be there anymore. I wouldn't, no couldn't, put myself through that anymore.
Your nineteen now Bella…It's been a whole year and no such as a word from any of them…
I had Jacob…for a while. As a friend of course. He helped me get through some stuff. He took care of Victoria for me. But no matter how much I wanted him to make all the pain go away, Jacob just didn't have that kind of power, even as a werewolf. I knew I was holding him back. But then one day it was like a miracle happened…well it was like a miracle happened for Jacob. Angela's cousin, Alexis, came to La Push beach. Jacob saw her, I was with him when it happened, and the look on his face was the most happiest I had ever seen him. He told me later he imprinted on Alexis. A thing werewolf's did when they found their soul mates. True love at first sight basically. Alexis was really nice, like Angela even.
Alexis had short jet black hair and was Jacob's age. She had a little bit of tan skin but it was only because she lived in Texas. She had ice blue eyes and was 5'3. I had never heard her cuss before and with Paul always around Jacob's house well, let's just say I'm pretty sure she won't stay like that forever.
Right after graduation Angela, Alexis and Jacob helped me pack my things. And I was off to Metropolis. I moved in with a cousin and her husband from my mom's side, Chloe and Jimmy Olsen. I had met Chloe only a handful of times but we were kind of close. Well, closer than Lois and I were.
Jimmy worked with a news paper. He took the pictures. While I had always thought Chloe was a housewife, with no kids, I was quiet wrong. See my cousin had a bigger job than her husband. She worked with what I call superheroes. Yeah, it sounds stupid and corny but it's true. I kind of figured that about a week after I had moved in. I was wandering around the house and Chloe had told me I couldn't go into that specific room. But me being me I just had to. I soon found it was filled with tech stuff. It was like falling into the rabbit hole to Wonderland. I knew my cousin was weird but who in my family wasn't?
"Bella hurry up or you're going to be late for work!" Chloe called thrusting me out of my thoughts.
"Okay coming!" I told her.
I worked at the bookstore a few blocks away and it was taking me longer to get to work because it was snowy and overcast all the damn time now that its late November. So there for it somehow took me longer to drag my ass there.
After I nearly ran to the bookstore to be on time, I tripped right outside the door. Someone caught me by my elbow. I looked only to see Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow smirking at me. But as of the moment he was just wearing regular clothes.
"You know what's so funny about this?" he asked.
"What?" I asked.
"The fact that I'm not even in costume and I still manage to save you."
"Whatever Ollie. But seeing how you don't normally wait outside of the bookstore what are you doing here?" I asked.
"Come over to my place tonight at seven the team has a meeting and some of us thought it would only be fair if you were there."
"What's it about?" I asked.
"A video Chloe got from one of her cameras."
"Okay, I'll be there after my class."
"What class?"
"My college classes remember, the fact that I am still in college. English degree, is what I'm hoping for. It's the whole reason I'm here."
"When does it end?"
"Six—thirty."
Oliver rolled his eyes and walked away. He turned around after a couple of steps and yelled, "Remember my place at seven!"
I smiled and walked into the bookstore.
"Bella!" I heard.
I stared at Carlos, my boss, putting new books on the bookshelf with his little green cart. Carlos was 5'8 and was a bit bigger than some people. He had jet black hair and tan brown skin. I had no idea why but whenever I saw him he was always wearing bright colors. Red, green, orange, blue, yellow, ect. He had a wife and they were having their first kid in a couple of weeks.
"I don't pay you to stand outside and chit—chat all day!" he yelled at me.
"I'm sorry. It won't happen again." I said in a voice barely above a whisper.
I hated it when he yelled at me.
"You can start by putting the rest of these books away." He said and left to do…something.
I somehow managed to put the books away while the costumers roamed around me. I tripped four times and stumbled about ten. A new record for me. As soon as I was finished I asked Carlos what I should do next. He told me to be cash register until my shift was over.
My shift ended at three—thirty and I had a half an hour to get the university. I walked there something I did often now. By the time I got to my English class I had a few minutes until class started.
Before I knew it class was over and I had to get to Oliver's for a 'team meeting'. It was getting dark, twilight, by now. I once more decided to walk instead of calling a taxi.
It was nice out cold, but nice. There was a small breeze and the slushy snow covered the ground. When I walked you could hear the slapping of my feet against the slush. It was kind of getting annoying but I could manage.
I was only a few blocks away from Oliver's apartment when I think I ran into a steel wall. Well it felt like a steel wall. I stumbled back a few steps and ended up tripping on something. Effectively landing me on my back which was now wet. I pushed my hair out of my face while trying to get up.
"Sorry.", I said without looking up. "I'm incredibility clumsy. It was my fault."
I was about to walk around the person while looking at the ground in shame when I heard her voice.
"Bella?" a dainty voice said.
My eyes snapped up only to meet her golden ones. Alice. I knocked into Alice. She hadn't changed at all since my birthday. She looked exactly the same.
Of course she wouldn't have changed, my mind whispered to me. She's a vampire…
"Alice." I breathed.
She hugged me into what could be categorized as an Emmett hug.
"Alice…need air…" I gasped out.
She abruptly let go of me but had a huge grin on her face. Well we both had huge grins on our faces but that was beside the point.
"Sorry I forgot." She said.
It was only now that I realized that she had hand full of bags. Shopping bags. Typical Alice.
"What are you doing in Metropolis?" I asked astonished. "I mean I'm happy to see you but Kansas? It does get sunny around here. And it's not exactly the shopping center or whatever."
"I could ask the same thing for you but if you must know only a few of us are here. And we came here because I had a…weird insight; I guess you can call it that…" She said with her face scrunched up toward the end.
I was about to ask something else when my phone buzzed. A text from Oliver.
Hurry we're all waiting 4 u…
I smiled. Typical business Oliver. He was so serious when it came to the team.
"Boyfriend?" Alice asked me with her eyebrows raised and for once no smile.
I snorted and but my phone away.
"Me and Oliver? No way. He's like years older than me." I told her.
"Good.", she said. She linked our elbows together and started walking the way I came. "Come on. The family is going to flip when they see me with you."
I unlinked our arms. "Alice I can't right now. As much as I want to…I can't I have somewhere to be right now." I said. It was the total truth. As much as I missed them I couldn't just drop everything.
"Give me your phone Bella." Alice asked with an outstretched hand.
I gave it over to her confused.
She typed something in it and handed it back to me.
"I put my phone number in there." She explained.
"Oh. So…um…I'll see you?" I asked.
"Of course." She said before she headed off the opposite way I came.
I jogged to Oliver's place. Hoping I wouldn't get into trouble for being late for my first meeting.
I rushed up to the elevator and tapped my foot nervously as I made my way up to Oliver's apartment. Finally the bell rang signaling my arrival. I rushed in.
"I know, I know. I'm late I'm sorry. I ran into…an old friend." I told the team.
"Next time," Oliver said. "try showing up on time."
"Sorry." I muttered.
The team was all here. Clark Kent aka Red Blue Blur, Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow, my cousin Chloe aka Watchtower, John Jones aka Martian Manhunter, Bart Allen aka Impulse, Arthur Curry aka Aquaman, Victor Stone aka Cyborg, and lastly Dinah Lance aka Black Canary.
"Hey sweet thing." I heard Bart whisper in my ear as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I leaned back into his chest.
"Hey." I whispered back.
Bart kissed my cheek and picked me up bridle style making me smile how impulsive he was. He flashed me a smile and suddenly I was sitting in his lap on the couch.
Bart was only a year older than me and he had brown curly hair. He had deep green—blue eyes that twinkle with amusement all the time. He's 5'10 and muscular not much but you could tell he works out.
Bart and I had been dating for about three and a half months. Jimmy was kind of happy but only because it would mean Bart would quit flirting with Chloe.
Everyone was seated on Oliver's couches.
"Okay," Oliver said. "now that we're all here," cue the glance at me. "Chloe had something really important to share with us all."
Chloe stood up in front of Oliver's huge TV.
"Okay so when I was looking back over some of the camera's from Watchtower I saw a blur on one of the forest cam's and when I asked Clark and Bart about it they said they hadn't been anywhere near the forest. And well I slowed it down and here's what I got."
Oliver's TV showed a bear in the forest about to pounce on a smaller deer. Then a blur moved across the screen so fast I'm not sure I even saw it. The blur pounced on the bear and suddenly the bear and the blur were off the screen. I heard rounds of gasps from the room. I sat completely still on Bart's lap. I was becoming increasing nausea by the second. It reminded me so much of…
"Okay all I got from that was…whatever that thing was. You sure it wasn't you Clark?" Arthur said. Motioning his hand at the screen.
"I haven't been near the forest in a long time and I don't attack bears." Clark said.
"Okay is that the slowest you can slow it down Chloe?" Dinah asked.
"No that was what I got without slowing it down. Here the image I got when I did." She responded before the screen evened out.
On the screen was a big burly man with bands of muscles. He was very pale. He had dark brown curly hair.
It was Emmett Cullen.
"Oh fuck!," I gasped. I felt bile rushing up my throat. "I think I'm going to puke!" I said before I ran into Oliver's kitchen and emptied my lunch into his sink.
So…tell me what you think. I know it was short but I think if I continue this story I'm going to make the chapter's longer. I had to stop somewhere.
