A/N: Guys! Hello, bet you didn't expect me well here I am. So sorry for the wait. I just needed some "special juice" to write this story I have put together for you guys. This story is going to be filled with drama and tears and pain and above all SECRETS! In the first chapter, I kind of alluded to the madness that will become this story and I hope you guys stick around. It will be a journey!

Love you guys for the comments: jessbritt, mizzalldatsakura

Enjoy the story.

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?

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters...sadly.

Little girls, listen closely

'Cause no one told me

But you deserve to know

That in this world, you are not beholden

You do not owe them

Your body and your soul

All the youth in the world will not save you from growing older

And all the truth in the girl is too precious to be stolen from her

It's just the way it is

Maybe it's never gonna change

But I got a mind to show my strength

And I got a right to speak my mind

And I'm gonna pay for this

They're gonna burn me at the stake

But I got a fire in my veins

I wasn't made to fall in line

No, I wasn't made to fall in line, no

Fall in line, Christina Aguilera, and Demi Lovato, 2018

Chapter 2

It's tricky messing with time. Time is a tricky thing not many can grasp. Time in itself can also be special and it is to a certain Chloe Sullivan. Because all she has is time, but it's also a pain. She wanted to save her family not destroy it, but her wishes and wants were ignored. She abused time and it backfired and her family was lost in time and space and only alive in her memories and nightmares.

Chloe was stuck in a time and place that seemed to mock and taunt her every day.

She couldn't even look at her father without feeling the anguish of knowing that she destroyed his life - and her friends.

So, she was getting ready to leave for a mission while her friend, Zatanna, was to tell of her demise. She didn't want to see her friends faces as they realized that she was the cause of their pain and misfortune. She didn't want to be there when they looked at her with anger and pity. She wouldn't be able to take it, especially if he looked at her like that.

"Are you sure leaving for this mission is the right thing to do? You aren't exactly in the right state of mind, boss?" Zatanna said as she leaned against a tree near the clearing that held their jet. Zatanna didn't want them to leave on bad terms. Chloe was more than her boss but a mother figure and friend - best friend.

"Zan, I just need to do this, okay. I can't be there when the truth comes out and hopefully, this mission will give me time to fix myself emotionally." Chloe didn't sound all too convincing but Zatanna wasn't going to push her oldest friend, so she took some steps and hugged her emotionally unstable friend.

"Goodluck, boss. Oh, and be safe, and all that jazz." At that goodbye, Chloe gave her friend a small smile, before making her way to her crew and boarding the jet.

The Talon was closed for an entire week. Lana didn't want to overwhelm their guests and she didn't want to overwhelm herself. She was terrified of learning what was to come of them. She didn't want to believe that Chloe would keep something from them but she couldn't help but doubt her friend.

The sound of the door of the Talon opening caused all three heads to pop up and they saw the older versions of Chloe and Lex step through with Zatanna.

"I will make a pot of coffee," said Lana.

She noticed that Chloe had on tailored black slacks with a crisp long sleeve white button-down with a black blazer on and had on black pumps. Her long blonde hair was pulled into a high ponytail. Lex was more his younger self. He wore a maroon long sleeve sweater with gray pants and his black shoes, scuffed perfectly.

"So, shall we begin," said Zatanna to Chloe and Lex.

"Of course, let's begin with Lana -"

"Wait, can you guys tell us what's the secret that Chloe is hiding." Interrupted Lois.

"Um, no, we will wait until Chloe gives you guys that tidbit of information since it is her secret," answered Zatanna.

"Okay, let's go, Lana."

Telling the future was hard because it came with lots of 'why would I do that?' and 'how could that accomplish anything?' but surprisingly it wasn't hard with Lana Lang. We told her that the life she now lived was a false one created by her friend, sister, Chloe Sullivan. We told her that she was meant to be in Paris with the love of her life studying art and philosophy.

"What? The love of my life is Clark Kent. Is he meant to leave Smallville and be with me in Paris."

"No, he is meant for Metropolis," said Lex.

"And he is not the love of your life, but he is your first love. And that love that you are holding on to will get you killed," said Chloe.

"I don't understand. I love Clark. How can -" She paused because she knew the answer already. She knew that their love was waning and she was distancing herself from him. She knew it was long overdue to end their crumbling relationship. She just couldn't bring herself to end it. To end something that they both denied for so long and to end something that they fought so hard for, but she knew that had to.

She wasn't meant for Smallville or Metropolis but she was meant for something else.

Her short trip to Paris was liberating and she had never felt more like herself. She could admit that she missed the calmness of her life in Paris.

"Here," Lex was holding a folder full of paperwork for her.

"That is information if you want to take the leap and leave. I see greatness in you, Lana Lang, well not so much in our Lana Lang, but in you, I see potential," said Chloe as she smiled down at Lex who gave her a grin in return and that made Lana's ears burn. She couldn't believe it! The man that she sort of had some feelings for was with her sister, best friend. She smiled at the thought that her Chloe would make Lex very happy, if only.

But for now, she'd keep it to herself and wait for Chloe to get her lying butt back. She had some choice words to speak with her but she just needed to know - why?
