Authors note: Hello everyone, this is my first story I've published and am super excited about it. I was never the best at English but couldn't resist the idea of writing a Smallville and RWBY Crossover. Of course to make the universes match (not sure what the best word is there) a few things needed to be changed on both shows. In this story, Smallville is based at the start of season 5, after Clark loses his powers and gets them back. Unlike the show at the end of season 4 Clark and Lana never get together and are currently friends. I wasn't sure about the age of Professor Ozpin, and chose a number that seems sensible and also fits in with my story.
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy.
Intro
Kal el's ship raced towards Earth, surrounded by radioactive pieces of his home planet, Krypton. Upon entering the Earth's atmosphere Kal el's ship malfunctioned and the phantom drive that was used to travel through universes opened up a portal in the sky. Out fell creatures of the Grim, Beawolfs, Never Mores, all of them. Unfortunately that wasn't the end of the disaster that day. The kryptonite meteor rocks crashed all over the planet giving off rays of radiation. Shortly after they impacted people began to grow animal parts. They were named Faunus and where labelled as freaks. Humanity were also given powers, these included controlling metal and moving at super speed. Kal el's ship, just like the meteors, crashed onto the surface of the Earth, the ship protecting him from any damage. He was discovered by Johnathan and Martha Kent, a married couple who were unable to have kids of their own. They took Kal el in, naming him Clark, treating him like he was their own son. Throughout his life Clark he had gained a series of powers due to the suns radiation. In order to make him seem as human and normal as possible the Kents decided to tell everyone he didn't have any powers like some people had now acquired.
Later that year schools were set up to train people to fight the Grim and protect the community from harm. Professor Ozpin had built one of these schools and named it Beacon. He had known about the existence of aliens for years. However, he never expected the horrors that came along with them.
Chapter 1
An 18 year old Clark Kent has recently graduated from high school. It had been a long, dangerous, surprising and definitely weird road, but he had made it. It was a Friday night and the Kents had just finished eating a lovely stew Martha had prepared. Suddenly, there was a knock on their door.
"Who could that be?" Martha asked, curious as to who could be knocking at such an hour.
"I'll check," Clark offered.
Clark unlocked and opened the door. Upon opening it a man in his mid-fifties was revealed. He had silver hair, brown eyes and small circular glasses. "Can I help you?" Clark asked politely.
"Why yes you can thank you Clark. Oh where are my manners, I am professor Ozpin. Head master at Beacon Academy," The Professor replied.
"How do you know my name?" Clark asked, a puzzled expression spreading across his face.
"Oh I know all about you Cark," Ozpin responded. "Including your Kryptonian heritage."
Clark's eyes widened in shock. After silence for a few seconds he tried to shrug it off.
"Um, yeah. I have no idea what you're talking about. Kryp what?" Clark pretended he knew nothing of what this man was saying.
At this point Johnathan and Martha a began to worry and came over to investigate.
"What's going on here?" Johnathan asked.
"Hello, I am Professor Ozpin, head master of beacon academy," the Professor explained again. "I am here to speak to Clark. I am aware of his alien heritage and would like to offer him a place at my school," Ozpin told them being very straight forward. It was now time for Martha and Johnathan's eyes to widen with shock.
"We don't believe in aliens," Johnathan lied.
"Do not worry. I will not exploit Clark's secret. Please if I could explain what I know," Ozpin began before he was interrupted.
"Sorry. But we don't won't to hear any conspiracy theories and ramblings, so ah goodnight," Johnathan told the man as he began to close the door.
"I knew your father Jorl el," Ozpin called out. All three Kent's froze. Slowly Clark opened the door.
"What did you say?" Clark asked curiosity evident in his voice.
"I knew your father, Jor el. We met in the eighties, right here in Smallville. He had come here as punishment," The Professor explained.
Clark letting curiosity get the better of him decided that ozpin knew to much anyway. "Ah, yeah, I know about that. I never knew he met you," Clark admitted, opening the door fully. "Would you like to come in," Clark offered using the manners he had been brought up to use.
"Now hang on a minute son," Johnathan began.
"Dad, he obviously knows about Krypton, and Jor el who did come here in the eighties," Clark reminded him. The three Kents looked at Ozpin for a few seconds before Johnathan finally gave in.
"Fine, he can come in," Johnathan allowed.
"Please, take a seat," Martha offered As they entered the living room. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Some coffee would be lovely thank you," Ozpin replied. Martha came back after being gone for a few minutes with a mug of steaming coffee. "Thank you," Ozpin thanked her as she handed him the mug.
"How, do you know about Clark's secret?" Johnathan asked.
"As I said, I met Clark's Kryptonian father in the eighties. On my travels I found myself here the same time he was visiting," the Professor explained, pausing to take a sip of his coffee. "During our time together he told me all about krypton and life there, as well as teaching me how to speak, read and write Kryptonian. Just before he left he gave me a metallic object in the shape of a diamond with his family crest on it," he paused again to take another sip of his coffee. "He said to me that if he or anyone else from krypton came to Earth, it would alert me of their arrival. Which it did. The day our young mister Kent fell from the sky."
For a few seconds they remained in silence as the Kents processed what they had just been told. Clark was the first to respond.
"If you knew I had come to Earth why are you only meeting me now," he asked.
"Excellent question my boy. You see the day you arrived the meteor showers that came with you created the Faunis. The phantom drive in your ship also malfunctioned and opened up a portal to another dimension which allowed the Grimm to enter our world," Ozpin answered.
"Are you saying that the Grimm are here because of me?" Clark asked, feeling incredibly guilty.
"No, absolutely not my boy. It is not your fault any more than it was mine. When the Grimm first arrived it was a dangerous time and I was busy fighting those terrible beasts. Soon afterwards I set up my academy to train people to fight these monsters. Eventually when I did come around to finding you I did some research and discovered you were in good hands. So I left and promised to return one day when you were ready," Ozpin concluded.
"And why exactly is now the right time?" Johnathan asked.
"Clark is a young man making important decisions; I'm here to offer him a spot at my academy. I understand you are low on money, however I will grant him a full scholarship," Ozpin offered.
They sat there in silence processing everything they had just been told. Thinking over what they had just been told a question popped into Clarks head.
"Professor, how did you know it was the phantom drive in my ship that opened the portal?" Clark asked.
The shield your father gave me gave me not only alerted me of your arrival, it also gave a full diagnostic of your vessel and reading through it I noticed the phantom drive was malfunctioning. Again they fell into silence. Eventually Martha decided to speak up.
"Thank you for your offer Professor, but it'll take us some time for us to decide what we think is best for Clark."
"Please take as much time as you need, there is no rush. When you make up a decision call this number," he told the Kents as he passed Martha a card with his contact details on it. With that he got up, thanked Martha for the coffee, wished them well and drove off.
Clark was the first to speak.
"I wanna go," he blurted out.
"Now son lets no be to hasty," Johnathan replied.
"Dad you heard what the Professor said the Grim are here from my spaceship, it's my fault. If I go to this school I could learn to fight these monsters and try and make up for what I caused," Clark argued.
"Sweaty it's not your fault there is no way you could have known what was going to happen," Martha tried to calm her son down. "I think we should all have showers and go to bed. We can decide tomorrow after a goodnights rest," Martha decided. They did exactly this and walked on upstairs. Clark didn't get much sleep that night, he had to many things on his mind. Professor Ozpin knew about his secret, he had met his dad and he was offering him a scholarship at Beacon Academy.
The next day the Kents awoke ready for some serious decisions to be made.
"Clark, it's great that you want to help people fight the Grim, it's just that your father and I are worried someone will learn the truth about you," Martha explained as she poured two mugs of coffee.
"This Professor Ozpin, we don't really know much about him," Johnathan added.
"Yeah but he has kept my secret all these years and met Jor el," Clark argued back. "I want to do this, you always taught me to do good, here is my chance to do just that. Please," Clark begged. "We all know I can keep my powers under control, and I promise to only use them when I have to." He promised.
"A scholarship is better than college fees," Martha added. Johnathan turned to her surprised.
"You want him to go?" Johnathan asked. Martha looked at him, then Clark and then back at him.
"It's Clarks decision," she replied. Johnathan sighed. Johnathan looked Clark in the eyes. "You will not use your powers in front of anyone and you are not to show off whilst fighting. Do you understand?" Johnathan asked.
"Absolutely," Clark replied, a massive smile spreading across his face.
"I'll give Professor Ozpin a ring then," Johnathan decided.
Two weeks later Clark found him self on the landing pad preparing to board the airship that would take him to Beacon.
"Bye Chloe, bye Lana. I'm gonna miss both of you." clark admitted as he gave them both a hug. Chloe and Lana both wanted to come say farewell to Clark.
"Bye mum, by dad, I'll miss you both," Clark told them as he gave them each a long hug.
"We'll miss you to sweaty," Martha replied, close to tears.
"Remember what we talked about," Johnathan added.
"I will dad," Clark replied before making his way to the rapidly growing line to enter the ship. He waved good bye as they flew off into the sky. Leaving was harder than he thought. Smallville had been his home for so long. It was where he learned how to control his powers, where he was taken in after literally falling from the sky. He was definitely going to miss it.
Authors Note: There you go, chapter one. Sorry for the lack of RWBY characters I really wanted to set up a good reason of how and why Clark would be attending Beacon. I changed the origin of the Faunis and the Grim cause I wanted it to be a bit more personal to Clark. Next up Clark meets some new friends, new enemies and maybe even an old friend.
