Kingdom of Themyscira

Diana marched along the wide hallways of their marble palace. She had just come from training when her childhood friend and personal server, Mala called out to her with a demand from her mother to come to the throne room. It was due to this that Diana still had some of her safety armour on her body. Diana hadn't been in a very good mood since her mother's announcement of the Goddess's demands. She not only found it unreasonable but suspicious as well. If the Goddesses' wanted an alliance for their kingdom with another surely a child wasn't necessary for an alliance right? A marriage was enough and it would only be until the couple decided to have a child that they would have one. Although in Diana's mind, there would have been no way for her to bear a child… and it wasn't because of the concept of being with a man… not at all… it was something more…

Diana didn't need to announce herself to the two guards at both sides of the huge doors. They immediately opened the doors for her and allowed her in.

"You called for me mother?"

Hyppolyta sat on a large marble throne situated in the middle of the room structured by polished stone pillars. She remained seated, her back straight as she looked intently to her daughter.

"Yes. I want you to prepare for a trip" she didn't flinch, "there will be a couple of warriors coming with us as well as General Philippus. You may bring Mala with you if you want"

"A trip? A trip to where?"

"Krypton"

"Krypton?" Diana was surprised. She knew of the history between her mother and the queen of Krypton which was why she knew the reason for short contacts between the two worlds. Krypton and Themyscira was never in shaky interactions with each other; when one world needed help, the other would offer it; but Diana was surprised a visit would occur between them and so she asked her mother, "why are we going to Krypton mother?"

"The El King and Queen are throwing a noble's ball where nobles and royal families all over the galaxy will attend"

"Why the sudden party? The El family hasn't opened their gates to the public for a long while" Diana knew of the incident that occurred the year before she was breathed life by the Gods. She had heard the story from her mother a couple of times. Although she had never met the queen and king, she could only imagine how painful it was for them to lose their only son and at such a young age, when their life was only just beginning.

"This party is a benefit for us as much as for them"

"What do you mean?"

"Lara knows of our current predicament and she has decided to help us by hosting a party of nobles. Most of them will be of royal families and they can act as candidates to be your husband. It is a great opportunity for you to find an honest man of royal blood."

"But mother this sounds rather… shallow"

"Shallow?"

"To hold a party where I am given the choice to pick a man suitable for me without any of these men knowing? It's as if we can immediately assume that they would want me, when neither of us knew each other at all"

"That might be true but as I said, we are in a predicament and when we are in a predicament such as this, we have no choice but to grab the opportunity handed to us. We could only do our best and act in our best"

Diana understood what her mother meant and to be honest, she couldn't agree more and so when her mother had finished, she replied, "Very well. I will prepare myself and the group of warriors coming with us. I will also get our spaceship prepared for the journey. Also, I want Mala to come with me"

Hyppolyta nodded. Diana bowed and left the room. Hyppolyta stared at her daughter as she watched her leave. She felt sympathetic with her daughter. She remembered how her daughter used to be such a rebellious young woman; escaping the palace and refusing to follow orders from her teachers and even her, her own mother. Diana used to be such a young spirited girl with a dream to travel and see the world beyond hers and Hyppolyta knew that there was only one person who stood in the way of her daughter and her daughter's dreams… It was her.

Diana had finally arrived at her chambers and closed the door behind her. She closed the windows and curtains around her as well. Silence fell in the room and it lingered. Her head was down but…

With a huge grin on her face, she jumped up on her bed and grabbed a pillow to which she pressed her face on it as she squealed. She threw the pillows up in the air after as she threw her body and lay on her back on her bed. She still had the huge grin on her face as she did.

Diana might've matured and became more responsible in her ways and duties as the princess and future queen but she had not forgotten her dreams- her dreams to see the world. And their trip to Krypton will allow her to make one forward step into her dreams.

"Krypton huh?" she talked to herself, "I wonder what kind of a planet Krypton is"

Like a little child, she jumped out of her bed and immediately ran to her wardrobe where she grabbed a massive linen bag- which would act as her suitcase- and prepared her luggage for the trip. All along with a massive grin on her face.

Planet Earth- Metropolis

"Lois? I don't think we're supposed to be here"

"Toughen up Smallville. This'll be a good experience for you"

Clark crouched as he followed Lois beside an abandoned warehouse. The abandoned warehouse had been an old steel warehouse but due to the increasing steel manufacturing factories that crept up around Metropolis, the warehouse had been completely abandoned. Clark still hadn't had any idea of what he was doing-creeping up around the warehouse- with Lois yet somehow he could only do nothing but follow her. Clark had checked into a small hotel in Metropolis to stay until their flight to Krypton; since then Lois have been appeared outside his door and dragged him around places.

"Can you please explain to me once again why we are here?"

"I told you," Lois turned to him, "there have been rumours of a small gang that buys and sells drugs around this area and I just found out that this warehouse is their base of operations"

"This is a dangerous task you want to do here Lois and I'm somehow glad you brought me along to keep an eye on you but…. Why exactly did you bring me?"

"You want to go to Krypton right?" she eyed him. Clark nodded. "Then the best thing for you is to get experience in these situations"

"Situations?"

"Being able to get away easily from opponents or going against them"

"Why would we have opponents in Krypton?"

"Not exactly opponents but more like security guards" she turned back and peeked through a small hole to check the situation from the inside

"Security guards?"

Lois simply nodded but didn't turn back to look at him, "Krypton is not only a strong and famous planet for their huge advance on science but the magnitude of their strong army as well"

"Wait wait why would we have to run away and go against their security guards?"

Lois didn't reply, her attention was fixed on the situation that occurred from inside the warehouse. "Lois?"

Lois finally turned to look at him, "Sorry what?"

"I said why would we have to run away from security guards?"

Lois immediately stood up, "I'll tell you later, right now we need to sneak in"

"Wait Lois!" he whispered loudly after her

Cark followed Lois down an entrance at the back of the warehouse. Before they entered, Lois turned to look at him and gave a sly smile, "Besides the other reason I wanted you to come with me is so that we can get to know each other before we go off on our big adventure to Krypton"

"Big adventure?"

Clark swore he had never understood Lois at all. She was too unpredictable for him and he could never get what she was thinking but Clark knew that it was that side of Lois that made her a strong and independent woman. And Clark was okay with it.

As they quietly entered the warehouse, they found themselves behind stacks of large crates. There were blocks of steel metals scattered around the floor while bigger blocks were stacked at the side with each other. Clark laid low, very low (his large build made him too obvious). Lois turned around and whispered to him, "You stay here I'll be right back"

"Wait Lois!"

It was too late; Lois rushed towards behind another set of crates. Clark then suddenly heard voices from at least three men…

"Was it really a good idea to let the guy go? He might tell on us about the drugs we sold him"

"What could he have done? His ribs are already broken just by being threatened by Brad here"

"Ha! He was too weak!"

Clark turned to look at Lois who gave him a sly smile as she held a voice recorder at her right hand and tapped it with her left hand finger. Clark knew what she was implying: she was recording their voices for evidence and what she needed him to do was take a picture with the camera she gave him earlier before they arrived. Clark sighed as he took the camera from his bag. He stood to sneakily point the camera at the culprits but when he looked through the lens, he could see no one…

"Looks like we have a couple of intruders here"

Clark turned to see that Lois had been held by the arms by a tall muscular man with brown hair. Clark tried to charge after him but he was stopped with "Ah ah ah! I can break this woman's arm if you try to do anything funny"

Clark flinched and concentrated at the guy and Lois that he didn't notice the two men behind him. One of them tried to punch him in the face but was responded with an "AHH!" from himself and a shaking hand. Clark wasn't fazed at all with the attack but his attacker definitely was.

As his attacker tried to get rid of the aching pain from his knuckles, the other grabbed a small metal bar beside him and lunged at Clark. Clark simply avoided him and grabbed the bar from him. He was very careful in not using all of his strength when he pushed the guy away from him. He still ended up almost at the other side of the room.

Clark turned back to look at the muscular man who continued to have his grips on Lois' arm, "Wh-what the hell are you?!"

"A farm boy" Clark introduced himself

Suddenly the man groaned when Lois stomped on his feet with her heels. As he tried to clutch his feet with his hand, Lois elbowed him on his groin. He groaned even more as he bent and covered it but was met with another punch on the face by Lois.

Clark was surprised at the scene he had just seen. He knew Lois was a tough woman, being able to hold her ground against anyone… he just didn't know how tough.

Lois brushed her hair back as he approached Clark, whose mouth fell open from the shock, "Are you okay Smallville?"

"Y-yes but more importantly, are you okay?"

"That? That was nothing," she scoffed, "believe me I've encountered worse"

"I see…"

Lois picked up her recorder and brushed some of the dust that fell on it. She looked over her recorder and its state that she failed to notice a bar of steel on the floor and tripped on it.

"Lois are you okay?" he extended his arm to her

Lois sighed, "Yeah thanks"

Before Lois managed to reach his hand, the door beside them suddenly bursts open. Police then suddenly ran inside with guns that pointed everywhere around the room. Although both Clark and Lois noticed that most of the guns were pointed to Clark.

"Freeze!" a police officer shouted at Clark, "put the metal down and put your hands in the air!"

The metal? Clark suddenly remembered how he took the metal bar from his attacker's hand and that he continued to hold it in his hands.

"This isn't-"Lois tried to reason with them

" It's okay miss, they won't be going anywhere" the police reassured her

"No you got it wrong-"

"Arrest that man including the three who are knocked down on the floor!" he commanded

"I'm not with them officer!" Clark pleaded to him

"Silence!" another police came from behind him and placed handcuffs on his hands, "anything you say will or will not be held against you in court"

Clark sighed as he was lead to a police car while Lois tried to explain herself but was completely ignored. Clark then whispered to himself, "I guess this was why Jimmy didn't want to come in the first place…"

Clark dumped his bag on the floor after which he fell on his couch. It had been a really long day for Clark; going on a dangerous mission with Lois, being arrested for no fault of his own, having to wait for a long time down at the precinct until he was eventually released. The commanding police officer was too stubborn that he didn't believe half of Lois' stories and even if he did, he wouldn't have pardoned her easily due to her risky strategies. It wasn't until Perry came and managed to convince the officer to pardon the two that they were finally released.

Clark might've gotten half the idea of why Lois wanted him to come with her but he still didn't know the full reason. This somehow bothered him but his mind was too tired after the long day that he decided to push the thought to the back of his mind. At that moment, he had more important things to worry about- his flight to Krypton.

Their flight with the other reporters from the programme was scheduled to leave the next day and since Lois dragged him out, he didn't have a lot of time left to prepare. The reporter's programme was introduced by the royal family of Krypton to specific news companies around the planet Earth. This allowed reporters to report and tell Earth the daily lives of their Kryptonian society. Both Perry and Lois found this a way by Krypton to gain a good relationship with Earth; whether Lois and Perry thought this was a good idea or not, Clark didn't know. Somehow, Lois managed to get Clark a passage by convincing Perry that Clark had to come with her and Jimmy to Krypton. It took Lois a long while to convince Perry but for some reason, Perry decided to give Clark a temporary position as a reporter and the last ticket he had left to Clark. He still couldn't understand why Perry gave him such an opportunity but he was thankful- in fact he felt indebted to him.

Clark finally took out his suitcase. Since he had already packed before his trip to Metropolis, he didn't need to pack a lot anymore. He only needed a couple more things and he was prepared…ready for his trip to Krypton.

Hey guys! New chapter finally up immediately XD

I was told that my first chapter(Clark's story) was very similar to Disney's Hercules. It's just to say that I had no means in making them similar. Although you would say both characters have the same circumstances but I wanted to portray Clark in a different way: the same but more different in the comics as well. It's what you might call an unbelievable coincidence. I do not own the characters etc, they belong to DC but the story idea is mine :)

Anyway, they're finally getting close to getting to Krypton XD will fate let these two souls meet? I wont say anything much anymore except I decided to let Clark and Lois bond as friends in this chapter. This would be clear later :)

Thank you again to the reviews! I love reading all of the so much and they're what keeps me going and being ale to write more chapters in less than a week so please keep them going :D

Hope you enjoyed this chapter!

:D
