I Do Not Own Smallville or Superman nor do I own the Characters.
Chapter Seven-Questions & Plots
It had been three weeks since Clark started working at the DP and since his exposure to Kryptonite.
The pain from the Kryptonite still hurts but he would shrug it off and continue with every assignment he was given but the look every time they were mostly assigned to Superman articles which Clark would glance over at Lois and notice a smirk every time she even thought or wrote about Superman.
Clark knew that some of the girls thought Clark's Alter Ego was handsome but some of the office guys grew jealous over him because of what he could do.
Clark was sitting at his desk doing research on a Luthor Corp Project about the Meteor Rocks in Smallville and how it can help benefit the world.
'What are you up to Lex?' Clark thinks to himself as he looks at he after effects of Lex's many projects.
Clark reaches fro the phone and begins to dials a number of someone in the military that could help him.
"Yes this is Clark Kent and I was wondering I could speak with General Samuel Lane."
The secretary puts him on hold as he sits there feeling nervous "Yes General Lane…I was wondering if you could help me with an article…yes I am aware that your very busy and some of the projects you are working on are CLASSIFIED…I was hoping you could tell me why Lex is using Meteor Rocks from Smallville to fuel a super sonic jet?…Yes Sir I understand Thank You…" Clark hangs up the phone and takes hi glasses off as he puts his face down on his desk trying to distress himself from what Lex is working on with Kryptonite.
"Smallville?" Lois says as she puts her hand on his shoulder and sees that he is stressing.
Clark grabs his glasses and puts them back on as he look up her and says "I'm fine Lois, I just got lectured in Military Ethics by your Father."
"Well when the General is asked questions about Classified material he starts to go on about his days at West Point and how its about DUTY-HONOR-COUNTRY." as lois recites the motto she mimics her fathers voice and says "Don't let him get to you, he's a natural hard ass but he does have a soft side."
Clark nods as he watches lois sit at her desk and open the black envelope that was sitting at her desk.
"Oh Alfred dropped that by for you." Clark says staring at the computer reading the information hoping to find something.
Lois reads the letter as she begins to smile while Clark says "I take it that your going to the Banquet with Bruce"
Lois nods and says "He has a surprise for me after the banquet."
Clark looks at how happy she is and a sad expression crosses his face, He picks up on a high pitched hum.
He looks around for the sound and gets up and races down the elevator completely Surprising Lois.
Lois chases after him but the Elevator door closes before she could get to him.
Clark races out of the elevator into the Main lobby from there the hum grows stronger, He nears an alleyway can changes into Superman and flies off.
He flies faster as he lands in a small abandoned warehouse only to hear that the humming stopped.
He walks over and notices a huge box decorated in green and purple wrapping paper, Clark walks near it and examines it as he notices a small card attached to it, he pulls on the card to see that it's a Joker Playing Card.
TICK TICK TICK Clark hears the ticking as he races out of the building just in time for it to explode along with the warehouse.
Clark looks around and extinguish the fire and picks up something that looked very familiar to him, It was picture of Him and Batman talking on top of the highest roof top in Gotham.
Clark knows whose behind it as he thinks 'Joker'
Clark races off back to the Daily Planet and changes back to his office attire complete with Glasses.
The picture safely kept in his pocket as he walks into the Bull pen and bends down next to Lois and whispers "What if was to tell you that I think Batman may be here in Metropolis."
Clark knew that if the Joker was behind this then he had to print out an article to scare him and the rest of Gotham's Psychos out of Metropolis.
"That's crazy why would Batman be here, When Super…" Lois stops and thinks as she looks at him and kisses him on the cheek "Clark Kent You are a Genius!"
Clark smirks as he hands her the photo and says "I got this from my source, He says that the Dark Knight and The Man Of Steel may be teaming up."
Lois's face lights up as she starts writing the article.
Clark walks over to his desk and picks up the phone and dials a secure number leading straight to the Batcave.
"Listen…When you read the Daily Planet don't freak out… I have a plan" Clark hangs up the phone and gets ready to leave.
"Lois I'll see you at the Benefit tonight" He walks past her and puts his coat on while he rides the elevator thinking 'Joker has something big planned our else he wouldn't have tried anything, that's all I need to have that nut job chasing me while convincing the world that I'm a good person, Lois has a soft spot for Superman why not show up fro an interview when she is alone and away from Bruce'
Clark walks out of the lobby and walks down the street going over possible scenarios about the Joker and How to get Lois alone for an interview without her realizing that he is Superman.
Clark was unaware of a secret meeting between Lex Luthor and other Gotham criminals was underway.
Underground facility at Luthor Corp:
"I have a proposition for you all." Lex said as he glanced around the table seeing Oswald Cobblepot AKA Penguin, Jonathan Crane AKA Scarecrow, Edward Nigma AKA The Riddler, Jack and Harleen Quinzel AKA Joker and Harley Quinn, and Selina Kyle AKA Catwoman.
Lex smiled at all of them as he said "Each of you want Batman dead and I want to make sure that this Benefit goes to Hell so you can steal files from both Queen Industries and Wayne Industries."
"I want Joker, Harley, Scarecrow, and Penguin to get to Gotham and infiltrate Wayne Industries and steal every piece of information he has on me and my Company."
"Riddler you'll meet my team in Star City and Steal what every Ollie has on me."
"What about me?" Selina asks as she sits there looking at Lex.
"You my dear will be my escort, When I send the signal I'll have Two-Face come in with his gang and you slip away to show up as Catwoman. You two will be a distraction to make sure no one leaves."
Everyone looks around as everyone discusses this.
"Everyone happy with the plan?"
All the Villains look around and smile except Selina who is too focused on seeing Bruce again.
"Good" Lex says with an evil smile on his face as he gets up and pulls out two silver suitcases and shows them full of money "There will be more of this if you succeed in your parts."
The grins grow more eviler and devious as they all gather around and look at the maps necessary to make this right.
'This is going to be fun…'
