When A
Summer Romance
Goes Bad
Part 1
Disclaimer: After watching a couple of clips featuring Maxima, this little gem came to mind. Set between seasons 1 and 2.
Summary: A Summer of Lovin' turns nasty between a couple of super powered teenagers.
"You miserable, insolent jerk!" Screamed out a strikingly beautiful Redheaded teenaged girl.
Right before she tossed a car door at the object of her ire. Namely, one Clark Kent, resident of Smallville, Kansas. And a child of the stars himself. Clark dodged it and winced when it smashed into a window. "Maxima! Please! Just calm down, okay!? Because I seriously think you're over reacting!"
"Ooh… He definitely shouldn't have said that. Not when she's THAT pissed." Remarked Lex Luthor with a wince to Pete Ross and Lana Lang. Both also agreeing a great deal with his remark.
Whom like him and others, were looking at the train wreck before them and unable to turn away from it. "Over reacting!? OVER REACTING!?"
All watched as the Princess of the alien planet known as Almerac sped at Clark and made him double over with a well placed blow to the stomach. "Damn!" Shouted Pete wide eyed.
"How's that for over reacting!? We are Soul Mates, Kal-El! How can you resist my offer to return with me to Almerac and be by my side!? How!? Especially after all we've done since my arrival here!? Our walks, our talks, our many deeply passionate moments!? All things that would be spoken of for centuries to come!"
"Other then being a completely dominating bitch?" Wondered Alicia Baker in a soft voice to a fellow teenager.
One who tended to look like a nervous wreck a majority of the time when not at home thanks to his special sense of inbuilt Radar. He twitched at her words and hoped like Hell the Princess from another planet didn't turn her ire on them!
Near the beginning of the Summer, the people of Almerac had revealed themselves to Earth, mostly because a Kryptonian signal had been discovered coming from the planet. One that led their princess, one Maxima, right to Clark after witnessing him use his speed in Metropolis. Who'd just come from visiting Chloe and being dumped by her due to certain fears and the like she had. It had been a shock to many in Smallville that Clark was an Alien but eventually, they got over it. Especially those who considered him a friend. For Clark, finally having the answers to a few of his questions had left him happier then he'd ever been. Even if it had come with the knowledge he was the last of the Kryptonian race.
Maxima had pretty much pursued him with no intention of being rejected by him. Even being left in Smallville by her parents for the Summer so that she and her newfound love could spend time together. Her personality and unwaveringly relentless pursuit meant Clark hadn't had a chance in Hell to resist her. Especially when she played on his fears of being alone and used the right words to sway him to her side. Things had been okay for a time, even if Clark's parents weren't necessarily a big fan of the Princess' thanks to her attitude. But over time, Clark found himself realizing that Maxima just wasn't for him. At least as she was now anyhow. She'd gotten especially possessive of him once they had slept together. An event that had freaked out many considering the numerous mini-quakes their passions had caused. Things would come to a head as the last days of Summer vacation began to make their way for all concerned.
For it was also time for Maxima to return to Almerac and she fully intended for Clark to come. And once back home, the two would be married. Completely forgetting the fact that Clark should have a say in things thanks to her spoiled attitude. Needless to say, Clark himself was very resistant to the idea of leaving his adopted planet and his family. Along with the fact he still felt quite strongly about Lana and the fact she hadn't turned him away because of his heritage gave him some small measure of hope. Naturally, because of Maxima's spoiled attitude, she really wasn't too pleased with him and it showed. Most expensively so with the property damage she was causing in her anger.
Standing up to his full height while rubbing his aching stomach gingerly, the young Last Son of Krypton looked at his now definitely for sure ex. "Because, Maxima, MY place is HERE. You forget I have every right to a say in things just like you do. I may care for you, but I'm not ready for marriage as I'm still too young for such a thing." He told her irately.
"He might have thought about that before he slept with her." Muttered Pete to Lana.
"She did take advantage of him so its not entirely his fault." Defended the girl of her Plaid Sentinel.
Maxima narrowed her eyes at her lover, he whom would be King to her Queen when the time came. "Either own up to how unreasonable you're being, Maxima, or go home. Cause I'm staying right here."
Letting out a scream of anger, she rushed him, only to get hit in the stomach herself. "Argh!"
In return, Clark himself received an unfortunate blow to his crotch that had every male in the vicinity wincing in sympathy for him. "Mostly invulnerable or not, he's gonna be feeling that one for years!" Lex said with a cringe.
Seeing her chance, the Princess of Almerac grabbed Clark by the head, kissed him soundly, and then proceeded to bash his face into the concrete repeatedly. "Changed your mind yet, Kal!?"
Whatever his response was, it didn't please the girl. No sir, not one bit. And so, to show her displeasure, she broke his left arm. Eliciting a scream of pain from her reluctant would be Husband. "Staying here on this Mudball does you no favors, my Kal! Please, realize this! You are destined to rule at my side, not be amongst the common rabble!"
"Ooh, that youngster needs a paddlin!" Hissed an old lady irately.
And she wasn't the only one annoyed with the arrogant Princess' words either. Quicker then the eye could blink, Clark spun around and grabbed his ex's wrist. The very same one that always had the same jewelry on it and squeezed it with his un-injured hand. Everyone watched as Maxima's eyes widened in horror. "This is goodbye, Maxima. You might want to do some growing up." He told her.
"WHAT!? NO! KAL!" Screamed the Princess and before the pull of the portal that had opened up behind her thanks to her jewelry had caused, she would deck him as hard as she could in her anger.
Not really thinking about it in the process and sending him flying through a wall and out of another one. "NOOOOOOOOO!"
And with that, she was gone and miles away to where the ship waiting for her in space was at. Leading to a very miserable crew that had to deal with an irate as can be Princess. From where Clark was, he could only smile in happiness despite the pain he felt. "I'M FREE!"
No one remarked on the amount of sobbing he was doing when they came upon him. Or the numerous times he repeated that he was free while doing said sobbing. I wonder how much time I should give him before trying my luck? Wondered Lana to herself as Pete and Lex helped their mutual friend up.
Or tried too at least as he was still too absorbed in the fact he was free from Maxima finally.
Author's Notes: Heh, this was fun to write!
