Chapter 10 - More Revealed

It's the day of graduation, a day where everything is supposed to be happy. I mean you're graduating it's supposed to be fun. You'll hang out with people that you won't see again. Spend time with that one person you've always thought could be a great friend but never took a chance to find out if they could be your friend. It's the day when everything ends. All the bad memories are erased and all the good ones are cherished.

For Clark, Lana and Chloe they will never know what it's like to graduate with their high school class. Their mission/plan is too important to take a day off and go to grad. Finding Lois and getting back the stone was their only thing on their minds. Not to mention trying to find a way to get the stones from Lex and Lionel.

Finding those and uniting them all was the only thing that mattered. Nothing was more important than saving the world.

Chloe sat at her computer in the living room of the Talon apartment while Clark and Lana brainstormed where Lois could be. I mean they knew she was at the Kent's but if she left where would she be? That was the question on their minds.

Three knocks were heard at the door. "Strange, who could it be now?" Clark said aloud before getting up to answer the door.

He opened the door and there stood a man holding a little box and a clipboard. "Can I help you?" Clark asked.

"I have a package for a Clark Kent." The man stated figuring that the man standing in front of him was most likely Clark Kent.

"I'm Clark Kent." Clark said a little confused as to who would be sending him a package.

The man hands the clipboard and a pen to Clark, "Here, sign on the line."

After signing the clipboard, the man gives Clark the package an turns to leave. Clark looks at the package curiously before walking into the apartment and shutting the door.

Lana and Chloe walk up to him as he makes his way to the counter. "What do you think it is Clark?" Chloe asks.

"I don't know." He opens the box ever so carefully just in case it's something breakable. "This can't be." Clark barely whispers as he looks into the box.

"What? What is it?" Lana asks worried that it's something bad.

He makes his way to the couch and sits down. "It's two of the stones."

"What?" Chloe asks confused. "It can't be." She walks over to Clark and takes the box. Sure enough, inside the box lay two of the three stones of power. She collapses on the couch next to him, Lana on his right.

Lana takes the box to look, when she notices a note underneath the stones. "Hey, Clark there's a note here." She hands it to him.

"It must be a note from the future." He opens it to find that there's something different about it. "The font's different. It might not be from the future."

Clark goes ahead and reads it:

Dear Fellow Teammates,

I know it must have been a surprise when you found out the box contained two of the three stones. I figured it would make it easier for all of you to not have worry about trying to figure out how to get the stones from Lex and Lionel.

Don't worry, Lionel with or without the stone will still be Jor-el's human form. When he needs to take human form Lionel will be the one he will take over.

At first I wasn't going to do it, but then I realized I'm in the past to help you. My main purpose is to watch Lex Luthor but I figured helping you once won't do much. It wasn't that hard either. Stealing them from Lex and Lionel really was very simple. I know what you're going to say Clark, stealing is bad but I think in this case it was an exception.

I think I'm giving too much away as to whom I really am, that's okay though. I know you know who I am Clark, so I don't think it really matters. Not to mention I signed my name at the bottom so it really shouldn't matter how much I tell you about me.

If you need anything else, except for answers about the future, I'm just a call away. I live exactly where I live when you met me in Metropolis. You know up in the clock tower. Call me, see me, it doesn't matter to me. Just keep me in the loop. All I get to do is keep Lex in line.

Sincerely your friend,

Oliver Queen aka The Green Arrow

"Wow, so Oliver Queen is one of the seven. I should have seen that coming." Clark said after finishing the letter. He looks over at Lana and Chloe and they both look zoned out. "Guys, are you okay?" He asks concerned.

No answer from either of them.

"What's going on?" He gets on the ground eye to eye to Lana. "Lana, snap out of it." He waves his hand in front of her eyes.

Nothing happens.

He gets in front of Chloe and does the same.

Still nothing happens.

"What's going on? I don't get it." He slumps down on the couch between them when he hears a voice.

"Kal-el, my son, you have to go on. Get the stone from Lois; unite the three stones of power. If you don't, you're friends will stay like this forever. This seems harsh I know, but that's the way it is.

The meteor shower that brings the minions of Zod is coming; you have to join the stones to create the Fortress of Solitude. Without that we won't be able to create the plan you are trying to complete.

Do that and you will not only save your friends but also complete one aspect in making this plan complete.

Before I go son, I have left a bracelet to the Phantom Zone in your pocket. I know you know of it. It's the one that Zod used to trap you in the Phantom Zone. You need to place it in a place so that the black ship flies right into it. We can't have Brainiac on this planet again.

At this very moment in the future he is trying to convince Lex to blow up the Fortress of Solitude. If he succeeds our plan and all of you will die. Life as we know it will surely end. We can't let that happen.

You are our last hope. Now go!"

Clark feels in his pocket and pulls out the silver bracelet that was used on him by Zod to trap him in the Phantom Zone. After picking up the stones and putting them in his other pocket he hears screaming and a huge bang. Quickly he gives Lana a kiss and tells her he'll save her. He walks to the door, looks back once more and runs out the door out of the Talon to see what's happening.

A meteor had just taken out a car down Main Street. Luckily no one was injured. Thinking back he remembers where the ship had landed. Lander's field is where it landed. "I have to beat it to the ground." With that Clark was off.

He gets there and sees a speck coming down from the sky. "Is that it?" He says to himself.

It's getting closer and closer by the minute. Finally he has a visual, it is the ship. "Okay, how do I aim this properly, do I just throw it and hope that the ship get sucked in or do I wait until I know for sure it will go in?"

Time's ticking, what is Clark going to do?

It seems close enough; it looks as though it's going to crash into him. He takes a chance and throws the bracelet. He watches as it opens up. It creates a huge opening to an abyss of evil, to the phantom zone. The same place that he would have been held in had this ship landed on Earth.

Luckily for him, he has the power of good on his side. And from the looks of things the power of good takes another one in the battle against bad as the black ship flies into the phantom zone. It closes up and flies into space.

A smile spreads across Clark's face, "Well that's one down, one to go. Now all I have to do is find Lois."

He super speeds to the Kent house to find no Lois or parents for that matter. They must have gotten out this time. Then again there was no Jason this time around. Back on the path he goes, running down the dirt road to his house only this time he's going away from the house. Hopefully he can find the many vehicles trying to leave the town of Smallville so that he can find Lois.

Looking ahead he see's the red pick-up truck. "There they are." He says inside to himself. Slowing down he walks up to the pick-up truck hoping Lois was with his parents. He gets to the door and finds no Lois.

"Mom, dad, where's Lois?" He asks panicked. "I need to find her. Do you know where she is?"

"She said something about going to the Kawatche Caves earlier." Martha said right before Clark bolted away without even saying another word.

"I think that boy is getting faster by the minute," Jonathon says to lighten the mood.

As Clark is running he says, "She better be there or else I won't know where to look next." Once at the caves he walks in to find Lois standing in front of the cave opening that leads to the portal to the Fortress of Solitude. "Lois, there you are. What are you doing here for?"

"I'm supposed to be here." Lois says as she turns to face Clark. Looking at him with determination she says, "You see last night I had this crazy dream. I never understood it for a minute until all these memories came back to me. Now I understand it perfectly. I know you know what I'm talking about Clark. And I know you want me to tell you what I know but I can't. You're supposed to learn on your own. I can't help you."

Clark takes a step forward, "You mean to tell me that you're one of the seven that came back to help me. You and Oliver did?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying Clark except Oliver and I aren't the only ones that came back to help you. See Oliver came back with all his memories of the future so that he could keep a close eye on Lex Luthor. You know make sure he stays in line. That way if Lex does something wrong Oliver can relay it to the team in the future and get a message to you three to change it.

Whereas I'm a sleeper, I only get the memories I'm supposed to get so that I can help you along the way. That's why I'm kind of confused as to why I got all my memories back over night. There must be something wrong in the future."

Steps closer to him and hands him the stone she has, "Clark you need to unite these stones now. We need to get to the Fortress of Solitude now. Jor-el should know what is going on."

Clark looks at her confused. He grabs the stone from her hand and walks past her through the cave opening to the platform. Right before he places the stones he looks back at Lois, "Lois, I would stand back if I were you. Last time Chloe was standing to close and was sucked up north with me. So unless you don't want that to happen to you too I would stand back."

She steps closer, "Smallville, I'm coming with you whether you like it or not."

"Okay, but don't tell me I didn't warn you." He places all three stones in their right places. They all light up, first each their separate color then a blinding bluish-white light. Before they unite and floated above the platform. "Lois, grab my hand." She finds his hand before he grabs hold of the floating unified stone.

A blinding light engulfs both of them. Before they could even realize it, they were up north. Without even thinking Clark chucks the stone where it's supposed to go so the Fortress is created.

Clark and Lois stand there and watch as the Fortress of Solitude is built right before their eyes.
