Hey guys give me a some opinions on the characters and if you guys feel like I'm portraying the smallville characters like they are on the show. Things you guys feel would help out the story.
Recap: The group has Arrived at the trailer park and are on their way to talk to Michelle about renting a trailer
Disclaimer: No smallville rights for me
The group knocked on the door of Michelle's house and waited quietly for an answer. Chloe hadn't said a word since their conversation with Mike. At the moment she was second guessing her decision to come. This place had a quiet peace surrounding it. It was almost completely removed from the world of stress she was accustomed to. She was relieved and disturbed by it. It occurred to her once again that none of these people had a clue about what the kryptonians planed or the fact that Luthercorp was shipping huge amounts of tranquilizers to their backyards. She was happy that they had found peace but it scared her to think about the fact that they had no clue of the dangers that seemed to be circling them.
"Heellloooo." A small redheaded lady said as she waved her hand in front of her face. Chloe noticed that she looked strikingly similar to Mike. She looked very much like a thirty-eight year old mother. Not fat by any means but not athletic. She had her bright red hair tied up in a loose bun and her face had the same worry lines that all mothers seemed to have. Chloe began to blush profusely and scratch her head nervously when she realized that she had probably been just staring blankly while she thought. She immediately made a show of paying attention and gave a big bright smile.
"Hi. Your dad mentioned that we need to talk to you about a trailer. We were going to be in town for a little while and we decided just to rent while we were here. Ends up being cheaper than a hotel." Chloe said trying her best to put on a smile.
"Ok and I assume daddy already told you the rules and all that jazz. How'd you like his serious face?", she said with a wide grin.
"It was definitely a surprise, but yes he did. I think all that's left is background check and the starting deposit.", Chloe said finally paying attention.
"Alright can I see your driver's licenses?", she said motioning them inside. They all pulled them out and them to her. "Ok I'll be right back. There's tea and sodas in the refrigerator if you're thirsty. You guys just make yourselves comfortable." She said as she walked through her kitchen and into the backroom.
"I don't remember talking about moving out here.", Clark said as quietly when the door shut behind Michelle.
"Yeah, I have a vacation house two hours away from here.", Oliver added as he took a seat on the couch.
"Yeah I know it's a little unexpected but this is actually a good opportunity to check things out while we're here." Chloe added pulling out a chair in the kitchen. "Besides I kind of like it here. It's quiet." As she finished talking, a door opened and Michelle walked back into the room.
"You guys came up clear." She said handing back their licenses. "All that's left is the deposit. Do you guys have it on you?" She said looking to each as they all turned to Oliver who rolled his eyes and pulled out his wallet.
"All I have is my card. Is that ok?" He sighed.
"Yeah I have a scanner. The deposit for the trailer is twelve-hundred even by the way." She said swiping his card. When she finished she walked over to a desk in the corner and pulled out a receipt pad.
"That's fine." he said as he walked over to get his card. She tore the receipt out of her pad neatly folded it and handed it to Oliver who handed it to Chloe, who did not miss the you owe me glare he shot her.
"Ok take that to daddy and he'll give you the key. He'll probably be in his shop outside." She said smiling. "Welcome to the neighborhood." The group walked outside and began the search for the key to their new residence. It wasn't a very long search just outside the door of Michelle's house was a fair size shop with the sound of power tools within.
"Mr. Mike." Chloe called once they approached the open door. A moment later a head poked out from underneath an old nova before quickly disappearing back underneath it. "What are you doing Mr. Mike?" She said craning her neck to get a better view.
"Mixing margaritas. How about you?" He answered from underneath the vintage car.
"We needed the key, we have our receipt." She said smiling.
"Let me see real quick." He said as a grease covered hand shot out from under the side of the car. She handed it to him quietly and waited a moment before he rolled out with a happy smile stretching across his face. "Shoot yeah. Wait right here for a moment while I find my peepers." He said, as he stood and walking over to one of the four toolboxes against the wall and began digging intently.
"Aha!" He exclaimed pulling out an old pair of glasses as he turned and grinned proudly. He pulled them over his sweat covered eyes and walked over to a safe down one of the aisles of tools. He put in the code like he had done it a thousand times and produced three sets of keys. He walked over while looking at them intently to make sure they were the proper keys.
"Here you are. Only you three, I and Michelle will have a key if you need another I'll go and have another made." He said handing them each a key. "I think you're all set. Do you need some help unpacking? No charge, I's promise." He grinned holding up his pinky and wiggling it.
"No sir, Clark was going to run back and pick up a few things." Oliver said with a wide grin, placing a hand on Clark's shoulder, who opened his mouth to protest, only to close it again.
"Ok the trailer is just down the hill on the far left. Later guys." He said before disappearing under the car again. The three walked out and down the hill to their new trailer. They walked in and we're struck by how well furnished it was. It had three couches and a small entertainment system shelf in the living room. To the left of the door, was the kitchen. It was completely stocked with stainless steel appliances and countertops.
"Well Clark we're going to need things from our houses if we're going to be staying a while." Oliver said with a grin as he tossed Clark the keys to his house. Chloe put on her best please face and handed her keys to a slightly outraged Clark. "Clothes, entertainment and toiletries please." Oliver said plopping down on one of the couches.
"I need clothes and such." Chloe said with a cheeky grin. Clark opened his mouth to protest but closed it with a sigh.
