"You know what I hate?" Lois asked irratated, walking alongside Chloe towards The master Bedroom. It was their plan to talk to Kara, to try and get her to at least open the door. It was the next morning after the tragedy, around midday. The two women had waited for the blonde kryptonian to show up for breakfast, but when she hadn't they decided on creating a plan of action to at least see if she was still alive.

"Does IT have black hair, blue eyes and a crush on spandex?" Chloe asked with a small smile, expecting her younger cousin to roll her eyes.

"Oh we'll get to that" Lois replied, giving the blonde woman a pointed look. "What I hate is that tribute to Jack their playing on all the news channels. Don't get me wrong, I think he deserves it, but you know that balding guy" She snapped her fingers trying to remember the mans name. "What was his name again?"

"The President?"

"That's the one!" Lois yelled in glee. "What I hate is the ending, saying that we should move on after only one night"

"I hear what you're saying Lois, but he wasn't talking to just the people in this household. I don't think he expects the likes of Kara, Bruce or Roxie to get over it anytime soon" Chloe answered her confused cousin.

"I know that, it's just from what I heard, Jack done a whole lot of charity work, even more helping people with personal problems and made a lot of friends in the business world. How does he expect anyone like that to just get over it?" Lois asked with a shake of her head. She wouldn't admitt it, but even she had learned to like Jack in the short 24 hours she had known him. It wasn't fair that good people like him were murdered when thugs like Lex were allowed to live. Chloe sighed.

"I understand, but I'm sure he was just putting on a brave face for the country" Lois looked at her cousin with suspicious eyes.

"You're only sticking up for him because you got your oh so prescious interview with him" Lois responded, letting a sly smirk grace her features. Chloe beamed at the memory of the president, as in THE PRESIDENT, phone Perry White up and asking for an interview specifically from Chloe and Lois. It was strange that he didn't ask for Clark aswell, but who the hell was she to push the man who could nuke the whole world faster than a rustlers burger does in the microwave. She was just giddy about the whole thing.

"Well so did you" Chloe tried, but at her cousins narrow look she corrected herself. "Ok so did future you. Why the sudden temper tantrum though cuz? Has it got something to do with a certain farm boy perhaps?" Chloe attempted, her tongue poking against the inside of her left cheek. Lois threw a glance over at her sly companion, narrowing her eyes in hopes to get the devious blonde to talk. When nothing happened, Lois decided to try things the old fashioned way.

"Something you wanna say cuz?" Lois asked, grabbing hold of the other woman and stopping them both where they stood.

"What you mean besides the fact that I walked in on you two taking some serious leaps of faith away from the friendship line the other night?" Chloe retorted, taking a breath. "I notice how everyone seems to have just forgotten that happened, well, except that's what I thought before I saw you two last night"

--------------

Clark and Lois walked together towards their seperate rooms. Seperate rooms that happened to be situated right next to each other, a little fact neither seemed to think was a coincidence. Chloe was walking through the hallways, having stayed with Leila until she went to sleep. Next to her walked Jimmy, the two linking hands as they walked. Chloe rested her head on her husbands shoulder, feeling warm when he wrapped his arm around her waiste in return.

It was then that they walked round the corner to spot Lois and Clark, both at their seperate bedroom doors, seemingly both halted by words not said and thoughts not released. Chloe quickly grabbed the back of Jimmy's shirt, pulling him back round the corner they had just turned.

"Hey what the-" Jimmy started, interupted when he saw his wife put a finger to her lips.

"Lois?" Clark said, somewhat sheepishly. He was surprised when Lois seemed to spin around instantly, as if expecting him to say something. He was even more suprised when he thought he saw hope sparkling in her hazel eyes, but quickly assumed he was mistaken.

"Yeah Smallville?"

"About what happened earlier" He started, obviously uncomfortable. When she nodded he found the strength to continue. "I'm really sorry" Chloe watched as Lois shoulders seem to drop a little, the sparkle of hope in her eyes burning out. Lois waved her hand as if waving off the matter.

"Oh don't mention it, I get it. You wern't yourself. Besides I'm the one who should be sorry right? I was myself and I guess I just got caught up in the moment. Well, goodnight Smallville" Lois said at a million miles an hour. Chloe recognised the Lane escape routine anywhere, she was only suprised Clark seemed to be buying it.

"And Lois?" Clark said, stopping Lois from her abrupt escape. Lois sighed and put a hand on her hip, giving him the famous death glare.

"I'm tired farm boy" She stated, tongue in cheek.

"I know but I just wanted to thank you" He replied, throwing her a warm smile. Lois took on a confused stare.

"For what?" She asked in an irratated fashion, though unsure as to why. At least that's what she would have liked to have thought.

"For the speech you gave just before the red K got in my system. I've always been afraid that people would never accept me for who I really am, and your talk showed me that there really are people out there who I can count on no matter what, so thank you" He sounded so sincere when he said it, Chloe watched as it melted Lois' icy aura, though she tried not to let it show her eyes gave her away. Lois let loose a dazzling smile and cocked her head to the side.

"Well, I've met alot of aliens in my time. Guess it just comes naturally to me these days" Lois responded, causing Clark to chuckle slightly.

"G'night Lois" He said, opening his door and entering his bedroom. Lois waited for his door to close before replying.

"Night...Superman"

--------------------

"Oh, you saw that huh?" Lois asked, twiddling her feet.

"You better believe it cuz" Chloe folded her arms and pushed her hips out to the side.

"It was a momentary lack of judgement is all Chloe. I'm allowed one or two in my life time" Lois answered, copying her cousins pose subconsciously.

"Oh please! When he said your name your eyes lit up more than a tree on christmas day!"

"And your talking like a five-year-old on christmas day, hoping for something she probably won't get. Look Chloe, you're family so I won't beat you down this time, but just because we get married in this time doesn't mean it will happen in mine. For all we know we could've jumped dimensions not time. In fact that would make more sense, because in this time I don't look that old, and my eldest son is 19? That would mean that me and Clark do the shizaam pretty soon and that, I don't see happening" Lois took in a deep gulp of air, convincing herself that she was right mentally.

"I know Clark doesn't exactly seem like the wam bam thank you ma'am type, but you've always had a talent for bringing out sides to him no-one knew existed. I'd give it at most a week before you two or hopping on the good foot and doing the bad thing, getting out the grapes and filling the fruit bowl, extinguishing the heat, filling the..."

"Chloe!" Lois interupted sternly, causing her cousin to stare at her blankly. "Spare me the word play, please" Lois visibly shivered in the hall as the two women began walking again. "God it's like talking to a box of scrabble"


Jack Wayne kicked open the entrance doors to the Luthor mansion, letting the sunlight from outside filter in with its warm bright rays. He walked in, his shoulders swinging as if to a beat. Two security guards ran around the corner, guns pointing towards the intruder.

"Stop or we'll fire!" One of them yelled. Jack didn't stop, just focused on his gun. Before the guard knew it, the gun was frozen solid in his hand, causing him to drop the fire-arm to the floor. Instantly the weapon smashed into a thousand fragments, becoming un-identifiable to anyone who tried.

"What the-" The other guard started, but before he knew it the intruder had reached them. The guard fired at the man in a panic filled frenzy, atonished when the bullets appeared to only make holes in his tight black t-shirt. The un-armed guard threw a punch at Jack, who easily caught it and threw him across the room. The armed guard turned back to Jack, his eyes wide in fear.

"W-What are you?"

"An alien" Jack stated, cocking his head to the side and giving him a look that said 'duh?'. Without warning, Jack extended his arm and grabbed the guard by the neck, lifting him of the floor. The guard dropped the gun and clung to Jacks hands in a desperate attempt to get it to release his throat, an attempt that proved futile.

"Where is Alexander Luthor?" Jack questioned, his voice was calm and his eyes blank.

"Lex? Why?" The guard asked in between gasps of air.

"Because he knows where Brainiac is located, and his purpose on this Earth is over. I have come to rid this world of his scum" Jack answered honestly, in his current state not understanding the value of secrecy. The guard thought it over in his head, and quickly came to a decision: Screw Luthor!

"On the second floor in the study, but he'll probably be gone by now any-" The guard was dropped to the floor. Thankful he greedily took in as much oxygen as humanly possible and looked up in search of the extrodinary man, only to find him gone.


Lois and Chloe reached the door to the master bedroom and took a deep breath each. The cousins looked at each other expectantly, both assuming the other would go first. The two women stood there, having a non-verbal battle with the other as to who was going to take the step up. Chloe sighed and stepped towards the door, mentally chastising herself for even thinking she could win any kind of battle against Lois Lane. Reluctantly, the blonde stepped up to the door and withdrew her fingers, making a fist. Just as she was about to knock the damned door opened.

"Kara!" Chloe said in shock after almost punching the woman. Recovering Chloe took a step back. "We were just coming to see if we could do anything" Kara smiled a sad smile before stepping out the door. It was obvious from her appearance that the woman hadn't slept a wink, and had been up all night in tears instead.

"Thanks, but I should really be attending to my daughter. I've had enough selfish time to myself in that room as it is" The blonde Kryptonian answered, moving past them and walking sown the hall. Chloe and Lois looked at each other before following after her.

"Want some company? Because Chloe here isn't much fun to be around" Lois asked, trying to lighten the mood.

"Hey I resent that! I'm fun!" Pause. "Right?" Chloe was suddenly unsure of herself. Kara couldn't help the little smile that formed on her face.

"Yes Chloe you're loads of fun" Kara soothed almost motherly like to the woman who was actually older than her.

"That's your opinion..." Lois trailed off. The two Clark's suddenly appeared in front of them, worried expressions on their faces. "Well well, if it isn't the dynamic duo. Only Smallville could make friends with himself"

"Kara! Thank God. We thought we heard you" Older Clark said, seemingly almost out of breath. Kara put a hand on her cousins shoulder in hopes that it would be comforting, noticing that the younger Clark was staring at her as if he had seen a ghost.

"What's the matter?" She asked slowly.

"It's Jack" Younger Clark answered, seeing as his older self was having trouble. "His body has dissappeared" Hope filled Kara, hoping amongst all odds that what she was thinking could be true.

"Do you think it could be Jor-El?" Kara asked, the hope in her voice was as subtle as an angry rhino.

"It could be" Older Clark responded.

"Wait, Jor-El? He's your biological father right?" Lois asked younger Clark.

"Yeah" He replied.

"The one that was in a galaxy far far away?"

"Yeah"

"As in your dead biological father that lived half-way across the universe?"

"Ye-huh" Lois just froze in thought.

"No offense guys but I think you might be loosing it" Lois said, earning quizzical looks from all around her.

"Says the woman talking to three aliens and her future cousin" Clark retorted.

"Guys can we not do this now?" Chloe interupted, trying to stop the oncoming argument. Lois glared daggers at her time traveling companion, in return recieving a cocky smirk.

"We should go to the fortress" Kara suggested.


Lex Luthor walked up to his team of scientists all gathered around the time machine. The machine itself was glowing and was beggining to shake like an exploding fizzy drink.

"Is there a problem?" Lex asked the head of the operation.

"No sir, everything is going as planned. In a few minutes we will have the first experiment" The scientist answered, recieving a disturbed smile from his bald boss. The double doors were suddenly ripped from their hinges, causing all men in the room to turn to the culprit. Jack stood there, a door in each hand.

"Jack Wayne" Lex said slowly. "You look good, for a dead man"

"Jack Wayne is dead. I am Zeek Zor-El" Jack walked towards Lex slowly. "Alexander Luthor. You have fulfilled your purpose on this planet, and it is time for you to leave" Lex backed off slowly, knowing he didn't have Kryptonite bullets in his gun, he was going to have to rely on his wits.

"Then why hasn't your old pal Superman finished me off" Lex asked, trying to stall for time.

"Kal-El is ruled by human emotions. He has grown weak, I have not. Jor-El is fed up with your constant interuptions to his families destiny"

"Well then Jor-El can come and get me himself. I'll even have him for tea-"

"No you will suffer forever in the phantom zone!" Jack interupted in a dominant voice. "You have not earned a normal death" He suddenly appeared infront of Lex and pinned him against the wall.

"Well, as lovely as that sounds, I'm going to have to see what your reaction to this is first 'Zeek'" Lex said with a slight twitch at the side of his mouth. The time machine suddenly created a portal like the one Clark and Lois entered, sending a shockwave out that caused even Jack to go flying across the room. The boy shook his head as if to regain his lost thoughts.

"Where am I?" Jack asked himself, his vision slightly blurry. Finally coming into focus, his eyes did a double take at the sight before him. A little girl stood infront of him, looking terrified and straight at him. "What you lookin' at kid?"

"I wanna go home" The little girl stated, her bottom lip trembling.

"Oh hey hey don't cry. Erm look where do you live?"

"With you Daddy"
