"Did he just say another planet?" Lois asked Clark and Kara. They were unsure how to answer her or how to cover it up. "I knew I saw a spaceship. There is alien life and you said I was crazy," she directed at Clark and then her eyes got wider, "but you knew, didn't you? John Jones is your friend. Where's he from? Mars?"
"What is it with you and Mars?" Clark asked.
"We might as well tell her the truth," Kara said. "Yes, he's from Mars. He's the last of his kind."
"Kara!" Clark said, unable to believe that she had just spilled his secret so casually.
"Oh please, Clark everyone else in your personal life knows except Jimmy. You can't hide this kind of thing forever and I 'd say Lois is as trustworthy as you can get."
Clark couldn't argue with her logic.
"Clark and I are also aliens. We're the last of our kind too," Kara told Lois.
"You ask a simple question," Lois said with a roll of her eyes and she started to go into the penthouse, but Clark grabbed her gently by the arm and waited until she looked him in the eyes and then said, "She's telling the truth." He knew she'd believe it if he told her. After all, he wasn't the best liar in the world.
"Wow, I guess I shouldn't call you Smallville anymore. Where are you really from?"
"A planet named Krypton."
"I expect details later, Smallville. Right now I suggest focusing on the clones," and she went in.
Clark smiled. She had still called him Smallville.
Kara pushed him playfully and smiled, "See? I told you she'd be cool about it."
"Yeah, I guess I should have told her sooner. It's such a relief not to have to hide it from her anymore. I see her on a daily basis. I suppose you should just trust the people that care about you."
"I don't want you to think I'm insensitive or anything, but quit yapping and let's get in there."
Lois was looking at Martian Manhunter with her arms crossed. "So when you say another planet, you mean another planet." She turned to Bizarro. "It's not a bad idea. You heard him. It's almost like Earth except a couple of galaxies away and you and Bizarro Me would have it completely to yourselves, no other intelligent beings around."
"That's the problem," Bizarro said. "I love her and she loves me and we're good companions for each other, but it's bound to get lonely with just the 2 of us there."
"I've thought about that," said Martian Manhunter. "Lex Luthor has made other clones in his experiment. I believe it inhumane to kill them, but they can't stay on earth either without causing problems. There are 4 of them. They shall live with you on the planet. I have them waiting for us outside the city. When I went back to the lab after I freed them, Lex had already destroyed all the evidence, but at least he won't be making anymore clones. He won't get away with his crimes forever though. One of these days it's going to catch up with him. The clones are made from his employees. They're all decent people mostly because they're new and therefore need some direction. I have no doubt that you can provide that leadership, Bizarro, now that you have changed your ways. On top of that, I can see with my x-ray vision that you are with child, Bizarro Lois. I assume it's developing so fast because he's the child of clones. At the rate it seems to be going, you'll be parents in a couple of days. That should definitely take care of the loneliness."
Bizarro and Bizarro Lois gave cries of joy and threw their arms around each other. The real Clark and Lois' mouths hung open in surprise.
Lois, finding her voice said to Clark, "Do you realize what this means? Our DNA mingled to create life. It's almost like we're parents in a weird sort of way."
Clark was still too dumbfounded to reply.
"Yeah, just think," Kara said. "If you two had slept together at the same time as they had, you'd probably be having the same genetically coded kid. It'd be kind of like having twins."
Clark and Lois barely managed to glare at her, they were still so stunned.
"I can't imagine us ever having a kid," Lois said. "If he inherited your broodiness, I'm-destined-to-be-alone philosophy and my temper and aggressiveness, that's a recipe for a sociopath."
Martian Manhunter chuckled. "I hardly think so. Children are never equal blends of their parents."
"I didn't think it was possible for me to have children," Clark said still dazed.
Lois hit him. "Don't go getting any ideas. It's still not possible for you to have children, not with me anyway. Baby Bizarro is as close as it's ever going to get."
Bizarro was x-raying Bizarro Lois' stomach.
"So are you ready for that new planet?" Martian Manhunter asked.
"We're ready," Bizarro answered.
"Wait," Bizarro Lois said. "I want to get married. Mama Bear and Papa Bear are married because they have Baby Bear."
"I don't even want an explanation," Lois told Clark. Clark just smiled.
"You have those blue rings," Martian Manhunter said. "They can serve as your wedding rings. When it comes down to it, marriage is simply a lifetime commitment. Promise to love and stay faithful to each other for as long as you both live and you have a marriage."
"I never thought about it like that," Clark said.
"Come on we have to hurry and get back to the Planet, so we can write this story before someone else does," Lois told him.
"We?"
"Yeah, you and I."
"Why do I have a feeling you wouldn't be saying that if I were a fellow reporter?"
"I might share a byline if my name came first. Don't worry you'll get an honorable mention in the article and you can explain some things to me on the way," she said, going out the door.
Clark followed. "What about Chloe, she--" the door shutting muffled the rest, but their arguing could be heard all the way to the elevator.
"I can hear where the other clones are," Bizarro said. "I'm going to go ahead and fly my wife and I over there."
"I'm coming too," Martian Manhunter said. He let them leap out first and he was getting ready to leap out himself.
"So you think the real Clark and Lois will ever get together?" Kara asked him.
He smiled. "I think it's more than likely. Their clones are without the years of bias and repression that the real ones have and they are acting on what they feel without hesitation. Clark and Lois have those same feelings, they just have to work through the denials first. I believe Clark is much closer than Lois in that regard."
"I think so too," Kara said. "Now that I know that for sure, I intend to help nudge them in that direction."
Martian Manhunter flew out the window after the clones.
Kara grinned and said out loud even though there was no one left to listen, "Yep, I'm going to make sure they have the same fate as their bizarre clones."
The End
