A/n: Just a little story I've come up with.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.
Summary: The gang meets Zatanna. Zatanna tells them doomsday is coming and that she could help them. But how? And will the group ever be the same?
Chapter 1
It was 9:00 p.m. and they were all there. Lex, Lana, Chloe, Clark, and Lois. Someone texted them earlier telling them to meet and now the once friends turned enemies were arguing over who was the culprit. Unbeknownst to them was that the culprit was standing behind them smirking.
Time to start meddling smirked the brunette.
Someone behind the group cleared their throat and the group turned to see a woman clad in a magician's outfit but was in shorts. She had long brown hair with a top hat on. She started to clap.
"Who are you?" asked Lois. The others, except Chloe, collectively voiced the question.
"Well, I would say but I might get in trouble. Right, Chloe?" Everyone turned to a flustered Chloe. She looked nervous not muttering a word.
"Chloe, do you know her?" asked Lana.
Chloe ignored her and started stepping towards the young woman when Clark stopped her.
"Chloe, who is she? How do you know her?" asked Clark. He didn't like this situation at all.
"Yeah, Chloe. I mean who is this chump?" boomed Lois.
"This chump has magic." scoffed the young woman, her eyes glowing a blueish purple.
"Look, would you guys back up a minute? I need to talk to Zatanna." Chloe moved away from Clark and made her way to Zatana.
"Chloe."
"Zatanna? What is the meaning of this?"
"Well, I told you that if you wouldn't try to change their paths I would." Everyone froze. They couldn't comprehend what the young woman had just said. Change our paths? Who was she, a monk? thought everyone.
"Zatanna! That isn't our place! I told you messing with time could hurt a lot of people."
"But-"
"No! I said not to intervene!" yelled Chloe. Surprising everyone with her anger. Zatanna just rolled her eyes at her boss and turned to the others. Chloe muttered something in French. She knew the girl wouldn't listen to her. She was too stubborn for her own good.
"Hello, I'm Zatanna. I'm a magician. I have magic and Chloe's my boss."
"Boss?" asked Lana with a frown, crossing her arms she felt betrayed. Chloe was technically her sister from another mother and she thought there were no secrets. Of course, she had hers, but eventually, she would have told her. It looked as if Chloe had no intention of telling this side of her life. Boss, what the hell?
Zatanna held up her left hand. It held a golden ring with an L and a shooting star on it. "It's the Legion ring. We, Legions, travel through time helping others. And Chloe, my boss, won't let me help you guys."
"What do you mean? Why would we need your help?" asked Clark getting apprehensive. None of the group could believe this was happening. Chloe was their most loyal friend, and although very strong-willed, she never truly betrayed them.
"Because, Kal El, the world you guys are creating will not turn out the way you'd like." Her eyes landed on Lex as said this.
"She means your future is horrible and she wants your permission to help change it," said Chloe.
"And why would you object?" exclaimed Lois.
"Because I'm not going to take your choices away! If the future is how it is, then that's how it should stay."
"That's bullshit!" yelled the magician. But at Chloe's glare, she said, "Sorry, boss."
Chloe grunted, "Fine! Screw up your own lives! But remember I warned you." At that Chloe left. Everyone was stunned. Stunned at Chloe's secret and departure and somewhat betrayal. Also stunned at the young woman, Zatanna.
"What's wrong with our future?" Lex finally speaks up.
"I'm not going to say, but I can bring people who can."
"Who?" asked Lana, suddenly even more curious.
"I will bring two people. They are very powerful people from this alternate universe world to help you guys."
"Alternate Universe? What is this, a comic book?" asked Lois.
Zatanna rolled her eyes,"Haha, very funny, Lois. Yes, alternate universe. This world chose differently from you guys and they are much happier than you guys. I am bringing two of the most influential people from that world."
"Wait, is that why Chloe is against your idea?" asked Clark.
"No and yes. Look are you guys in or not because I can get them here now if you want." Zatanna was becoming impatient. She was on a deadline and needed their decision now!
"Well, why not? If it helps the future and ours, I say hell yeah," exclaimed Lois. The others agreed wholeheartedly.
"Perfect," smirked Zantana.
"So, what do we do?" asked Lana. Zatanna held her hand and then suddenly she was gone.
"Wait, where'd she go?" asked Lois.
"Guys, do you think we can trust her? I mean she came out of nowhere probably giving empty promises. I mean how bad can our future be? Chloe doesn't seem to want to change it." asked Clark. He was concerned for her. She was probably dealing with a lot, and on top of that, her friends weren't even supporting her.
"Clark, Chloe doesn't seem to care about our future. And if its as bad as it seems, this sounds pretty good," said Lois.
"How can you say that?! Whenever we need her, she's there! And she's always out there helping us."
"Thanks, Clark."
"You're welcome, Chloe." He did a double take, "Chloe?" The Chloe that stood in front of them was a little older, had long blonde hair and a big diamond ring on her married finger. She was dressed in business attire: freshly pressed long-sleeved white shirt, black pencil skirt, a Rolex watch, and black pumps. She was the perfect model of classy and sexy.
"Chloe?" This new Chloe smiled and waved at the group playfully. Next to her was Zatanna and Lex.
"Lex?!" The group was surprised. They didn't expect Chloe and Lex in the category of most influential. Well, maybe, Lex.
"Guys, meet Chloe Sullivan and Lex Luthor from the other Earth I was talking about. Their world is about five to six years ahead of yours."
"Wow, you got them speechless, Zan." said the older Chloe.
"That's what I do best," Zatanna said slyly.
"Anyway, what is it that you needed us for? We were busy." said the other Lex. He was attired in all black and he looked expensive. He oozed expensive. He knew it too. The older Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Weren't you paying attention? We are here to help them move to a greater, better path. To make a future for our superheroes of today." Chloe's monologue really hit the group. She spoke very confidently and her words made a promise.
"Yeah, yeah. Can you save the hope speech for later?" asked Lex.
"Why are you so bitter? Didn't you see Lana yesterday? Oh wait, now I know why you sound so bitter." retorted Chloe.
"Don't bring Lana into this, Chloe. You know she's annoying." The other Lex seemed very angry and frustrated at Chloe, the older one. Chloe seemed to sense this and put a comforting hand on Lex's bicep. She gave a gentle squeeze and Lex looked into her eyes. They were silently communicating and he visibly calmed down.
Zatanna cleared her throat,"Maybe we should resume this tomorrow, and by that time, I'd have talked to our Chloe." They all nodded and before the group could say goodbye, the other Lex zoomed over to Zatanna and Chloe and ran out of the Talon.
To say the least, the group were in shock.
"Did Lex just superspeed out of here?" asked Lois.
A/N: Mini-chapter story? Maybe? I am thinking of making this is a ten chapter story. I don't know yet but I do know I want this into a story. What do you guys think?
