Clark is falling to his death with a blue Kryptonite dagger sticking out of his side. Lois had just discovered the truth about Clark/Blur. What will happen next?
This idea came to me on my daily hour's journey to work and back after Season 9 ended. I just started to imagine followup scenes and conversations and this is what came to me. It's meant to act as something like the first 5 or 6 episodes of Season 10 and it hints at possible villains and season long story, but doesn't resolve them.
Prologue:
He was falling, so fast. The pain in his side was unbearable.
Focus, he thought. What to do? I have two options. Argh.
The pain splintered his concentration.
No, think Clark; options.
The wind whistled past his ears as he dropped further.
Pull out the dagger and toss it away – ascend with the others to New Krypton.
Leave the dagger in – stay on earth – be smashed to bits when I hit the ground.
New Krypton or Earth.
Clark's mind repeated the words as he flicked between the choices.
New Krypton ... Earth ... New Krypton ... Earth ... New Krypton ... argh.
His mind wandered and he unknowingly substituted a word. Earth ... Lois. The mantra started up again in his mind.
New Krypton ... Lois ... New Krypton ... Lois ... New Krypton ... argh ...
The pain in his side became too much to bear and he instinctively reached to pull out the dagger. His strength was gone though, and he blacked out.
... Lois.
