A/N: Well, guys it's Tuesday again. Since I have a test next Tuesday and my mind will be on that, I will post the Epilogue before next Tuesday, but I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking either Friday before Disciple or on Saturday or Sunday.

Chapter 10 sure ended in a cliffhanger, huh? ;) Just to be clear, since space is an empty vacuum, his helmet cracked from the pressure he was exerting. Clark can be alright in space without it, it was just from the kryptonite that he was in pain...

Well, you've had enough of my rambling... here's Chapter 11! 8-) I'm leaning toward Friday. ;)

NEW A/N: EDITED 10/24/17 - Hope you still enjoy and please still let me know what you think! :)


Chapter 11

"Keep pushing, Kara. He'll be fine," J'onn assured her. She kept looking back at Clark as they all pressing on. Kara breathed a smile of relief when she saw one of Bruce's mechanical attachments of his rocket catch Clark before he could float any further or fall back into Earth's atmosphere in a fiery blaze.

~L&C~

Back in Watchtower, everyone was watching everything via Oliver's satellites. Lois practically had a heart attack when she saw Clark fall back and was put at ease when Bruce took care of it.

"Remind me to give Bruce a big hug when he comes back in," Lois said as she bounced John in her arms. Jimmy stood next to her holding Lara and Chloe was on her other side.

"He doesn't like anyone touching him," Jimmy smirked in reference to when he had touched Bruce before.

"I think he'll make an exception from me, Olsen," Lois smiled. She didn't know what she would do without Jimmy to ease the tension of any situation. In fact, she and Clark had discussed of making Jimmy Godfather of John and Lara. He was already an honorary uncle.

~L&C~

In the meantime, back in space, Bruce could tell from his computer on his dashboard that the meteor only needed to be pushed back a couple more feet to send it flying back to find its own orbit.

He pressed his finger to his ear, "J'onn, Kara… you two need to move away. I should be able to send it back by intensifying my magnetic push."

J'onn and Kara nodded and floated back. Kara repeatedly looked back to Clark who whilst safely being attached to Bruce's rocket was unconscious. Bruce turned the dial next to his layout of the meteor and raised the level of the magnetic pulse. Within a few moments, the meteor was headed in the other direction. They watched it fly back until it was even out of Kara's sight.

"Let's get back," Kara's eyes never left the prone form of her cousin. Her eyes expressed every ounce of worry for him. Bruce and J'onn nodded as everyone turned around and headed back to Earth and Watchtower.

Everyone came walking back into Watchtower. Clark's arms were wrapped around Bruce and Kara. He was conscious, but just looked a little tired.

"Smallville! Thank God, you're okay," Lois ran up to him and wrapped her arms around him. Bruce and Kara gave Lois the job of supporting Clark.

"Yeah, I'm fine… As soon as I came back into Earth's atmosphere, I was all right," Clark explained, "I'm just a little tired, that's all."

"Great job on the successful mission, you guys," Oliver smiled as soon as everyone sat down. Everyone was congregated in the added portion of Watchtower that resembled a living room.

"Yeah and now that our crisis has been averted, I wanna hear about Lois and Clark's trip to the past!" Bart flopped down next to the Lois. Clark had his arm wrapped around Lois while leaning back on the couch with Lara held in his other arm. Lois leaned into Clark's chest while she held John in her arm.

"Definitely," Kara smiled and sat on the arm of the couch next to her cousin, "I'd love to find out the names of my niece and nephew."

"You want to do the honors, Smallville?" Lois looked up at him.

"Sure," he turned to everyone and gestured to the little one in his arm, "This is Lara Martha Ella Kent and in Lois' arms is Jonathan Samuel Ryan Kent."

There was a collective "Awww" from the group. Even Bruce chimed in. He couldn't help it. He had a soft spot when it came to kids.

"It must have been interesting delivering those babies in the past," Dinah laughed, "What'd the hospital say?"

"I didn't have them at the hospital," Lois replied. When she saw everyone's confused looks, she shared a look of her own with Clark.

"I had them at the Kent Farm and Clark delivered them."

"You really are the Man of Steel," AC shook his head, "I could never handle that."

"Hell, I've got steel in me and I couldn't handle that," Victor agreed.

"You decide on any Godparents yet?" Chloe hinted.

"Obviously, you all are honorary uncles and aunts, well those of you not related to us that is," Lois replied with a smile, "But Clark and I discussed it and we want Jimmy to be their Godfather."

"Really?" Jimmy squeaked. Lois and Clark nodded. He was being modest, "Wow, I don't know what to say… Thank you."

"What about Godmother?" Chloe wiggled her eyebrows, hinting at herself.

"Actually, Lois and I want Kara to be their Godmother," Clark answered a little apologetically, "It's nothing personal, Chloe… It's just we figured it would be a good idea to have a Kryptonian in the mix to handle them."

"Yeah, that's fine," Chloe shrugged it off. She tried to pass it off like it was no big deal to her. She decided it was best to change the subject, "So, how come I don't remember your visit in the past? It's not something that would be easily forgettable."

"I'm not sure," Clark furrowed his brows, "Come to think of it, I don't have any new memories of seeing my future self and Lois."

"Me either," Lois shook her head.

"Hey, heads up down there!" Ollie yelled from the second level, "Senator Kent is here!"

"I'm sure they'll be relieved to see you're all right," Kara put her hand on Clark's shoulder. Lois and Clark nodded. It would be nice to see their time's Martha Kent's happy face in seeing her grandchildren.

"Don't anybody get up," Oliver said sarcastically as he came down the stairs, "I'll get the door."

"Careful, Oliver," Bruce started, "I don't think Alfred would approve of you taking on his job."

"Hardy har har, Wayne," Oliver rolled his eyes as he walked past him to get to the door.

Oliver opened the door and Senator Kent walked in.

Lois and Clark's eyes bugged out and their jaws practically hit the floor. Oliver wasn't referring to Martha but – Jonathan Kent. He was alive and well with Martha under his arm at his side.

Jonathan and Martha followed Oliver into the room where everyone else was sitting. They smiled when they saw Lois and Clark. Their smiles grew even wider when they saw their grandchildren in their children's arms.

Jonathan looked great. Of course he was older and had a little grey on the sides of his hair. He now wore glasses, no doubt from the effects of aging.

"I'm glad to see you two are all right," Jonathan said with a smile. After Lois and Clark's facial expressions didn't change from that of shock, he grew a little concerned.

"Are you guys all right? You look like you're seeing a ghost."

"I-I," Lois sputtered. She looked a little like a fish, "I think we are."

"Lois, honey, what's the matter?" Martha put a concerned hand on her shoulder. Lois managed to close her mouth and look up at her while Clark continued to stare with his eyes wide.

"CK, are you okay?" Jimmy was starting to get worried.

"Y-You're alive?!" Clark managed. He handed his daughter to Lois and stood up and embraced Jonathan in a bear hug.

Jonathan patted his back and looked to Martha and the rest of the League for some sort of explanation. They all just shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

He continued to pat his son's back, "Of course I am, Clark. Why wouldn't I be?"

Clark came out of the hug with tears in his eyes and looked to Lois, "It must've worked… He did it. I mean, Clark did it… He saved my dad."

"Told you, Smallville," Lois smiled.

"Would you two care to explain what you're talking about?" Jonathan looked between the two of them.

"Uh, I don't know how to tell you this, Mr. K," Lois started and handed Lara back to Clark while she held John, "But from what we remember… you died in 2006."

"What?" Jonathan couldn't believe that. That was impossible. Then he widened his eyes as if he was remembering something.

"What is it, Dad?" Clark asked.

"I suppose you don't remember this, Lois… but years ago, you and I were in a plane crash," Jonathan started.

"That happened with Mrs. K," Lois interrupted, "Sorry… Go ahead."

Jonathan gave her a small nod and continued, "Well I never told you this because he told me not to, Jor-El told me not to, but he gave me something that day and told me to give it to you when you two would return. That never made any sense to me until now."

"What did he give you?" Clark asked.

"This," Jonathan shook his head and reached his hand into his pocket, "For some reason, I think I knew that that day would be today."

He pulled out what appeared to be a small crystal tablet with some inscriptions.

"It's written in Kryptonian. I never tried to figure out what it read, mainly because it was from Jor-El, but ever since I got to meet him in the flesh a few years ago, I knew it was all right… Here."

Clark furrowed his eyebrows at that, but realized that since Jonathan was still alive, he got to meet Jor-El when his replicant arrived on Earth with Zod in the orb a couple years ago. Jonathan handed the small tablet over to Clark. Lois brought her hand over to it too so she could get a good look at it. As soon as they both touched it, a bright white light emitted from it.

Lois and Clark went into some sort of trance.

See? That wasn't too bad of a cliffhanger was it? All that's left is the Epilogue, believe it or not. And if you didn't read the author's note before the update, the conclusion of Home will be up before next week... so keep your eyes peeled. ;)

And Cause & Effect is still being worked on, sorry, it's not a sequel, it's a totally separate story. 8-) Currently, it's on page 28, I was on a roll last night. LOL, I hope you guys will tune in to read that one too whenever I finish it that is. :P
