A/N: Got quite a bit done on this story today - despite being distracted by KeymaJade's stories, which I just discovered. You should check them out, they're hilarious! - Anyway, so I can post some more. I had a blast writing Bart and Jor-El. The combination was too much to resist. Sorry about the cliffhanger... "Kal-El is dead!" But I figure, the show does it to us, and since this is a pseudo-epsiode, it's gotta have mini-cliffhangers. Let me know what you think, particularly about Bart and Jor-El. Thanks!
SCENE ELEVEN - WATCHTOWER - NIGHT INT
Chloe and Jimmy are equally shocked. a pop tart falls from Jimmy's lips.
Cut back to:
SCENE TWELVE - FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE - DAY/NIGHT INT
BART
No way!
JOR-EL (V/O)
I am afraid so.
BART
The Boy Scout can't be dead! He's… he's… Clark!
JOR-EL (V/O)
He chose to disobey me! He allowed his destiny to fall into the hands of another… his greatest enemy!
(beat)
So I stripped him of his powers as they battled, and the earth was rent asunder…
CHLOE (V/O)
Um…
BART
Er… No.
JOR-EL (V/O)
I am afraid so. I had no choice.
BART
Dude! That was like… almost a year ago.
JOR-EL (V/O)
I beg your pardon?
BART
Yeah, Clark survived that.
JOR-EL (V/O)
Impossible. I smashed the foundations of the Fortress, collapsing it upon them both!
BART
You mean… the Fortress I'm standin' in right now?
JOR-EL (V/O)
Um…
BART
Clark's alive, and you have no idea where he is, do you?
JOR-EL (V/O)
Well, I have been in slumber, and my crystal systems have yet to…
BART
Yeah, whatever! Thanks a lot, dude! You've been no help whatsoever!
(beat, salutes)
Later Show & tell!
Bart superspeeds away. we stay in the empty fortress for a couple of beats before:
JOR-EL (V/O)
What just happened?
