Chapter 2

"Clark, hello anybody home"

Clark gazes to meet the eyes of his dear friend and ally Bruce Wayne. Clark Kent was a brave individual and a hero nonetheless, being Superman did have its privileges, though sometimes he does get lost in thought. As Bruce brings him back to reality he smiles.

"Get lost in there somewhere" Bruce grinned,

"Must have" Clark replied rubbing his eyes.

Both sitting alone in the bat cave, which is where they spent most of their time nowadays whether it was to avoid the Justice League or to just get away for awhile. They both confided in each other for everything, from relationships to saving the world from just about anything. Clark stood up in his traditional yet modernized Superman suit with his red cape, blue tights and the idolized symbol of the House of El. Standing well over 6 feet with muscles rippling through his entire body, Clark was an intimidating man yet through his eyes he shows character and people respect him.

"Any plans tonight?" Clark asked curios of Bruce's response.

Bruce was a lone wolf, he didn't like following orders but there creation of the Justice League was something he was passionate about. Clark knew in his mind that he was one of the smartest humans he has ever met, he figured that was a big reason he clung to him so much. His tactics were sometimes questionable, and even though they didn't see eye to eye on everything Clark was comfortable saying that Bruce was his closest friend. Clark shuffled towards him awaiting his response.

"Not really, I'll probably stay in and work on some these cases, maybe do a night run." Bruce said dully,

"Really? Its Saturday night lets do something!"

"Like?"

"Club?"

"You can't get drunk Clark"

"Hey, just because I cant get drunk doesn't mean the club isn't enjoyable."

Bruce raised his eyebrow and looked at him with a puzzled face.

"Fine, let me grab my jacket" Bruce said finally caving.

"You do realize you have your suit on still right" Clark asked sarcastically as they walked towards the door.

"I'm already regretting this."

Later in the club. Bruce lightened up a little and was having a decent time but Clark, however, drifted into his thoughts again. He was thinking about Lois, how things didn't work out between them. She wasn't ready, she wasn't ready Clark kept repeating in his head. Maybe she wasn't the one, or maybe she was. Clark found himself slapping his face trying to get out of his funk. As soon as he did Bruce appeared with a lovely British women. They continued to talk and eventually she left abruptly and Clark could see the frown on Bruce's face deepen as she got further away.

"Did that just happen?" Bruce scowled, Clark couldn't help but chuckle.

By the time they got done talking about said women they have both had enough and decided to leave. Bruce groaned throwing open the door as Clark followed laughing. As soon as he gained his posture again he notice Bruce staring into the distance.

"Hey man its her loss" Clark tried comforting, Bruce shushed him, grabbed his arm and pointed.

Clark straightened his posture and watched as a giant white light flashed brightly and then faded away.

"What in the hell was that?" Clark questioned, but Bruce had a stern look on his face mentally analyzing the situation.

"I'm going to check it out" Clark said beginning to rip through his button up.

"Be cautious I'm not sure that this incident was anything natural, I'm going to grab the jet." He looked to Clark who was already full costume ready.

"Got it."

He replied taking flight towards this questionable anomaly. Upon arrival he slowed down and took in the situation. There were three indentations in the field he had come up on, a couple miles apart from each other. "What..." he questioned out loud, before he could finish he heard a cocky voice from behind him.

"Holy shit!"

Clark turned to see Cassie in her combat gear, he couldn't deny that she was sexy, sweat glistening off her face made him warm up immediately.

"Um...how did you get out here?" Clark questioned hovering down towards her.

"I am not uh...completely sure on that" she stumbled to say.

"You are fucking flying!" she finally bursted out. He landed instantly

"Uh yeah? Do you not know me?" He asked curiously.

"Nope, but I'd like to" she replied and shot him the most attractive smile he has ever seen.

He felt his face turn hot red and for second he thought he was going to set her on fire. He contained himself and asked with a smile

"What's your name?"

She looked up and grinned.

"Cassie, Cassie Cage"

"Where are you from?"

He was trying hard to suppress his smile, he wanted to be professional, but damn was this girl getting to him.

"Earth-realm" she retorted nonchalantly.

"Earth...realm?"

Clark replied with the most confused look on his face.

"What you don't live in Earth-realm?"

He, eager to figure her out, stated

"There is Earth here, no Earth-realm or whatever" grabbing the back of his neck shyly, still puzzled.

"Jesus..." Cassie felt a frown creep onto her face.

"I was fighting, an evil elder god just before this..." she started,

"Sure know how to pick fights" Clark chimed in sarcastically.

She smiled and continued,

"I defeated him and as he was going for his magical, force endowed bullshit amulet I grabbed it at the same time and everything went white and now...I'm here in what looks like an alternate universe...fantastic."

Clark listened quietly and sat there in thought. He had seen a lot in his days so he couldn't complain about a beautiful women from another universe.

"Wow..." He started "Are you alright?"

Cassie looked up at him, hearing the care in his words, the bravery in his heart, and his eyes, god damn it he had beautiful eyes.

"I'm not sure" she looked down again.

Clark could tell she was a little scared, but he could also tell she wasn't going to take shit from anyone and that made her even more attractive to him.

"Sorry for bombarding you with questions, I'm just curious how you ended up here" Clark said scratching his head.

Why was he so nervous? He had faced intergalactic monsters and devious villains and never feared them, coming out victorious because of that, but when it came down to this girl, he was shook to his core.

"Its fine.." She started to say and then came to a realization. She looked up at Clark who was waiting for her explanation and she replied with one word.

"Jacqui!"
