Previously in Everything...
He simply smiled and knelt down on one knee, "No, Lois you don't understand. After everything we've gone through over the years and just now… I want to marry you, tonight. I don't want to spend another day not being married to you."
"Clark… if you're asking, you know the answer, Farmer John," Lois answered, nodding, her smile never leaving her face.
"Looks like I've got a lot of work ahead of me," Jimmy commented.
"Call Oliver and he'll help you transform the barn," Clark told him.
"It'll take me awhile to get over there…," Jimmy started to walk back on the street and catch a cab, but Clark stopped him, "I'll give you a lift."
"You mean… blur me?," Jimmy asked hesitantly.
"It's fun, Jimmy," Lois assured him. She promptly jumped in Clark's arms and joked, "You can get a super-speed piggy-back ride."
"I guess I better get used to this. My best friend is a superhero," Jimmy said and jumped on Clark's back, "Man, I feel ridiculous." Clark simply laughed and took off for the barn.
Now in Everything...
Chapter 9
Once they arrived inside the barn, Jimmy jumped off Clark's back and wanted to make something really clear, "CK, you know that your secret's safe with me, right?"
"I didn't doubt that for a second, Jimmy," Clark replied, giving him a small reassuring smile.
"This wedding going to be put together at super speed?," Jimmy asked, taking out his phone to call Oliver.
"There's no way that my wedding dress is going to be picked too quickly," Lois remarked, "You boys can speed through getting your tuxes, but my dress is another story."
"I know that, Lois. Why do you think I told Chloe to meet us here?," Clark replied and climbed the stairs to his loft, followed by his fiancée and Jimmy. Jimmy got on the phone with Oliver while Clark and Lois started going over the guest list on his desk.
"Oliver?," Jimmy started. He didn't really know the blonde billionaire that well, "This is Jimmy Olsen. Lois and Clark…"
"Jimmy?! Thank God… what happened to you for the past two days?," Oliver interrupted. He had obviously noticed his absence along with Lois and Clark's, "Are Lois and Clark with you? Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah Oliver, we're fine. We'll explain what happened when we get the chance. Right now, I'm calling because Clark and Lois decided to have their wedding early… tonight to be exact, and CK wants your help to transform the barn into another Chapel of Love," Jimmy replied.
"Of course I'll help, I'll even get some of my… uh business associates to help," Oliver answered, referring to the Justice League.
"CK… Oliver said he'll get some help," Jimmy replied, moving the mouthpiece away from his mouth and turned to Clark.
"He must mean the League," Clark replied and motioned for Jimmy to hand him the phone, "Hello? Oliver… could you get Bart to come over here?"
"Clark? Congratulations, man… I want an explanation of what happened to you three for the past couple of days before the wedding," Oliver said and then listened to what Clark had to say, "Yeah, of course. I actually have the League assembled here right now, we were going to go on a mission to find you guys. We even have a new recruit."
"New recruit? You tell him about me?," Clark asked.
"Just about the powers… I figured you wanted to tell him about the ET business yourself," Oliver remarked.
"Thanks… Who is it anyway?," Clark asked.
"The Dark Knight of Gotham," Oliver replied, he looked to Bruce, asking with his eyes if it was okay to reveal his secret identity. Bruce nodded with his arms folded, "Or known to us as Bruce Wayne."
"I'll look forward to meeting another billionaire superhero," Clark teased and then turned serious, "If you guys could get over to the barn as fast as you can it'd be greatly appreciated, Ollie."
"No problem, I'm assuming we're all on the guest list?," Ollie teased.
"What do you think, Ollie? Go on and bring Bruce too… I'd like to get to know him," Clark said, walking back over to Lois who had a list of guests they wanted at the wedding and who could actually come. Unfortunately, there was no way that Lucy and the General would be able to make it, so really, there was only going to be the League, Chloe, Jimmy, John Jones, and especially Martha coming to the wedding.
"Lois has sure changed you for the better, Clark," Oliver commented, "We're on our way, Bart will be there any second and we'll be soon to follow."
"Thanks, see you later, Ollie," Clark hung up and handed the phone back to Jimmy.
"What's the League?," Jimmy wondered.
"Oliver and his merry men," Lois answered with a snicker.
"What?," Jimmy asked still confused.
"It's a bunch of superheroes, Jimmy, myself included. We all get together and go on missions. I don't go on all of them, they usually save me for special assignments," Clark explained.
"And this Bart guy is gonna be here in a few seconds? But I thought you were the fastest man alive," Jimmy asked and was answered with a tap on the shoulder by the dirty blonde speed demon.
"Someone mention me?," Bart grinned.
"You and I are going to be getting tuxes for everyone… but I have to make a special trip before we do anything," Clark said.
"Picking up your mom?," Lois asked, and pointed to her name on their list. Clark simply nodded and smiled.
"Jimmy here is the Best Man; he'll help you as much as he can. Chloe will be here soon and you guys can go over all the arrangements. I've gotta go get my mom. I'll be back and then you and I can go get the tuxes," Clark said and started backing up toward the stairs.
"You got it, Stretch," Bart replied with a thumbs-up. Clark gave a nod for a goodbye and took off at super-speed for Washington D.C. and his mom.
"Senator Kent?," a young man in a suit popped his head in Martha's office. She looked up and he continued, "Your son is here to see you."
"Clark! Send him in, Jeff," Martha replied, the door opened wider and Clark walked in. Jeff closed the door behind him.
"Hi, Mom," Clark smiled and embraced her in a bear hug. Martha was squeezing him more than anything, if he wasn't the Man of Steel, she would've squeezed him to death. He really should visit her more often.
"Clark… I'm so glad to see you, son. Is everything alright with Lois?," Martha asked, coming out of the hug.
"Everything's magnificent, Mom… In fact, it's part of the reason I'm here. We had another little adventure and I told her that I want to marry her tonight instead of in a month. I ran over here to come pick you up," Clark explained, the smile never leaving his face. That seemed to be a permanent feature after being with Lois.
"Oh Clark, that's great. I'm so proud of you two. I love you both so much. Let me just get some of my stuff in order and you can run us back to Smallville," Martha replied, getting her paperwork together. As Martha was getting some of her work together, Clark started to remember a conversation he had with his mom about his biological mother.
Clark stared at his model universe, thinking, when he heard his mom come up the stairs, and he turned it off. She treaded carefully and said, "Y-You barely said anything about what happened at Summerholt."
"Don't worry, Mom. My secret's still safe," Clark assured her, and pushed one of the planets with his finger.
"Sigh… Well… I'll be in the house if, uh, if you want to talk," Martha said and started to walk away.
"Lara," Clark started, causing Martha to turn back around, as he stood up and stuck his hands in his pockets, "It was my biological mother's real name."
"How did you know that?," Martha asked, meeting Clark half way after he walked around his trunk.
"When I was in the tank, I saw my earliest memory… and she was putting me into the ship... Her only fear was that no one would love me," Clark confessed.
"I can't imagine the agony of putting my son in a lifeboat and sending him across the stars," Martha replied. Clark paused for a moment, thinking.
"Because of Jor-El, I always thought that… my biological parents were monsters, but she wasn't… I just can't believe I forgot about her," Clark sighed and started to feel guilty.
"You didn't Clark," Martha revealed, Clark's attention was immediately peaked, "Your first word was 'Lara'. Your father and I could never figure out what it meant. Now we know."
"I wish she could have met you… to see what a great mom I have," Clark replied genuinely.
"She knows, Clark. A mother's love never dies," Martha assured him. They embraced in a hug and just stood there for a few minutes.
Clark was brought out of his memory by his mom, "Alright, Clark I'm all set. I'll leave a message with Jeff on the way out." Clark simply smiled, he really does have a great mom.
"I'm really glad you're my mom," Clark replied. To Martha that statement came out of nowhere, but she simply smiled and put a hand on Clark's cheek, "I am too, sweetheart." After they left the office, Clark super-sped back to the farm, just as Chloe was pulling up as well as a limousine. Clark could only assume it was Oliver and the rest of the League.
