A whole family of Kryptonians on Red K. What could go wrong?

Daughter of Lois Lane

Chapter 20

Did she just say orange juice, Ella asked herself. She looked around the room. She could feel the difference. She looked over to her left side and saw Johnny. "Johnny?"

He looked back at her with an annoyed look. "What do you want?" he asked coldly.

With thinking how it would sound, Ella said, "Oh no. Someone get some green kryptonite quick," Ella said.

"Green kryptonite?" Martha questioned her granddaughter.

"I'm not stick around for this," Jason said and seconds later super sped out.

"Me neither," Johnny and Allison said following after him.

"I don't know what the hell you're planning, Ella, but until you can figure out what's wrong with you, your mother and I will be somewhere safe," Clark said. He grabbed Lois by the waist and flew them out.

"Well, since everyone is leaving. I can feel open about saying I didn't want to come."

Those were Kara's last words as she stormed out of the house.

"Ella, what just happened?" Chloe asked.

"They're on red kryptonite."

"Oh crap," Bart said.

"Bart," Martha said.

"Sorry, Mrs. K."

"Is that why you wanted the green kryptonite?" Martha asked.

"Yeah, that was so the wrong thing to say."

"Man, what are we going to do?" A.C. asked.

"What we do best. Get them back safely," Oliver said.

"I know Kara. She's not going to stay in one place for long," Bart said.

"Neither will you when you look for her," Oliver said.

"I'm the one looking for Kara?" Bart asked.

"You know her the most. She trusts you. Mrs. Kent and A.C. will go looking for Clark. She can get inside his head, but I don't want her to go without protection. So, AC, you'll be with her," Oliver said.

"Got it."

"Chloe, Dinah. I want you to look for Lois. I know you can reach out to her, Chloe," Oliver said.

"I'll do my best, Ollie," Chloe said.

"None of us really know Allison. So, Tess, Victor, I'm trusting you'll get her home safe," Oliver said.

"I'm making it my mission."

"Jason is my son. I'll find him. With help from Pete. Ella, I need you to find Johnny," Oliver said.

"Me? But I can't," she said.

"You're Lois Lane's daughter. You never give up. It's not in your genes. You're a fighter. A winner. You can do this and you know you can."

"Thanks Oliver," Ella said.

"Let's go."

It had been three hours since her family had gone missing. She didn't know what to do. She had no idea where to look, but then it hit her. The Daily Planet. She quickly super sped to the place where she would soon find her family.

Clearly she wasn't the first one to come up with this theory because the entire Justice League was on the rooftop.

"Thanks for telling me," Ella said to herself. She quickly super sped to the rooftop of the Daily Planet.

"Mom! Dad!"

Clark and Lois turned around to see who had called them. "Ella, not now," Clark demanded.

Kara, Johnny, Jason, and Allison all stood behind them. "Go away, Ella," Johnny said.

"This isn't you, Johnny," Ella said.

"This is me. The real me."

"Not, it's not. That's the red kryptonite talking," Ella said.

"Obviously it's not that bad if you put mom and dad under it," Allison said.

"What is she talking about, Ella?" Martha asked.

"I-I-Uh."

"She poisoned the orange juice with Red Kryptonite in order to get them together," Jason informed them.

"Is this true?" Lois asked.

Ella looked back at her mother with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry. I just want you to be happy with dad. Weren't you happy with him? Don't you still love him?" Ella asked.

Oliver took advantage of everyone being focused on Ella's question. He quickly took the green kryptonite out and got ready to use it against the Kryptonian family.

Everyone quickly fell to the found in pain. "Dad," Jason grunted in pain.

"I'm sorry, Jason, but it's for your own good," Oliver said.

"It hurts," Jason said.

"I know, son. I know."

\S/

Less than two minutes after Oliver pulled out the Kryptonite, the Kent family was back to normal.

"Thank you so much, Oliver," Clark said.

"Just do me a favor, ok?" Oliver asked.

"What's that?" Clark asked curiously.

"Think twice before drinking a glass of OJ in the morning."

They shared a light laugh. Oliver went to reunite with his team. Clark walked over to Ella.

"I'm disappointed in you, Ella."

"I'm sorry, dad. I just wanted to see you and mom happy," she said.

"This wasn't the way to do it. It wasn't right. You drugged us," Clark said.

"I realize just how bad red kryptonite is now, dad. I'll never do it again. I promise," Ella said.

"I'll keep you to that promise."

My Smallville

Chapter 21

She couldn't sleep. Neither could he. The memories of the events earlier that day filled his mind. She had something else on her mind.

Clark come downstairs to find Lois on the couch. "Lois, what are you doing down here?"

"Umm…nothing," she lied.

He was now within inches of her and could see her watery eyes. "Hey," he said sitting next to her. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine, Clark. Go back to sleep," she said getting off of the couch and heading towards the front door.

She was halfway outside when Clark was by her side pulling her back in the house. "Where do you think you are going?" he asked her.

"Leave me alone, Clark." She pushed Clark off of her and continued on her way out.

Clark followed after her. "Lois, if this is about what happened today, we should talk about it."

"I don't want to."

"Then tell me what's wrong," Clark begged of her.

"What do you think, Clark?! We're married and freaking no one knows about it! I mean, what are the kids going to think when they find out their parents got hitched in Vegas?!" Lois exclaimed.

"I think Ella would be happy if you ask me." He saw that Lois wasn't in the joking mood. "Sorry."

"What are we going to do, Clark?" Lois asked.

"Lois, there is something I have to tell you," he said.

"What?"

"When you mailed me the divorce papers, I didn't want to sign them. In fact, I never did," Clark said.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" she asked.

"We never got a divorce. We've been married this entire time," he said.

"You have to be kidding me!"

"Is that such a bad thing? I still love you. I never stopped," Clark said.

Lois was about to protest , but then she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She groaned in pain. She quickly sat down on a chair in the porch.

"Lois, what's wrong?" Clark asked. He sat down next to her.

"I haven't been feeling good," she said.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Clark, I've only felt this way two time in my life," she said.

"When?" he asked.

"When I was pregnant."

It took Clark a couple of seconds to put the pieces together. "Have you told Richard yet?" he asked.

"It's not his," she said.

"Then wh-," he said, but stopped himself. Was she really saying this baby was his?

"Lois, it can't be mine. We just….today."

"Well, it's not Richard's," she said defensively.

"You don't know for sure."

"Actually, I do, Clark. Richard and I never h-," Lois stopped herself. She couldn't believe she was telling Clark this.

"I just assumed," Clark said.

"Well, you assumed wrong," she said coldly. She got up from her chair. "Before today, I hadn't done that in almost 14 years," she admitted. She turned around and gave her back to Clark so he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes. "It's always been you, Clark. Since that first time you kissed me in that elevator, it was you," she said in a quiet voice.

Getting up behind her, Clark said, "Lois."

She needed to get her words out. "I know you've probably been with other women, but I don't care. You're still my Smallville."

Clark turned her around so that she was face to face with him. "Lois, it's always been you. When you left the farm that day, it was like you took my heart with you. I could never be with anyone, unless it was you," he said.

"As much as I want to be with you; as much as I need to be with you, it can't happen," Lois said.

"Lois, if this is about what Jor-El said, that was 14 years ago. Besides, you have powers now," Clark said.

"We don't know how long these powers are going to last, Clark. They could be gone tomorrow. Then where are we?"

"That's up to us. We make our own destiny. We make our own choices and live with the consequences. I'm not going to let anyone who has been dead for over 30 years tell me who I'm mean to be. I know who I am. I'm smart enough to find that out for myself. I'm also smart enough to know that Clark Kent is nothing without his Lois Lane."

Lois smiled up at Clark. "What about this baby?" she asked looking down at her stomach.

"Zach," he said giving their unborn baby his predicted name "is proof our unforgotten love. Nothing is going to separate us now."

He pulled Lois into his arms. Her head rested on his shoulder. "I'm sorry I was so stupid before," Lois said.

"You're never stupid. Don't say that," Clark said.

"Can you imagine how happy Ella is going to be when we tell her?" Lois asked.

"What if we don't tell them?" Clark asked.

"What do you have in mind, Smallville?" Lois asked raising up and eyebrow.

"I still want to get even for her tricking us into Red K," Clark said.

"I love the way you think."
