Stubborn

Taylor slowly opened her eyes. She blinked a couple of times and turned her head. She was lying on the couch in the Kent Farm sitting room. A blanket was lying across her and a pillow was underneath her head.
The living room was the same colour as it was in her time, with the same soft furniture. But the TV was different and Taylor saw that the pictures on the mantle piece and walls of her father in his teens were relatively new. She was defiantly not in her own time.
Taylor saw Martha Kent coming into the sitting room from the kitchen and she saw more people were standing in the kitchen as well.
Martha saw that she was awake and called, "Jonathan!" Suddenly everyone was in the sitting room, Clark, Lois, Chloe, Jonathan, Martha and sadly Lana. They were all looking at her in concern and confusion.
She looked at them and said, "What year is it?"
They all exchanged confused glances and then Martha said, "2005."
Taylor sighed and said, "What did you do Jor-El?"
Everyone except Lois looked at her with wide eyes.
Clark walked forward and asked, "What do you know about Jor-El?"
Taylor sat up and pushed the hair out of her eyes. This was Jor-El's fault. He sent her even further into the past and if he wanted to keep things secret then he should have told her to.
"I know that he's your biological father and he's a pain in the ass. He's the one that sent me here."
Everyone moved into the sitting room, Jonathan standing beside the coffee table, Martha sitting on the coffee table. Clark sitting on the couch by Taylor's legs and Lois sitting on the armrest behind him. Lana and Chloe stood behind the couch.
Lois looked the most confused and she asked, "Ok can some please give me a straight answer? Who are you?"
Taylor stuck out her hand and when Lois took it she said, "Hi, I'm Taylor Kent and I'm from the year 2026."
Lois's hand dropped from hers in shock and as Taylor drew her own hand back, she said, "Yes, that's the usual reaction."
"You're from the future?" Martha asked slowly.
"And you're…" Clark trailed off.
"Your daughter," Taylor finished.
Silence filled the room as everyone looked at her with shocked faces. Taylor rolled her eyes and said, "Don't all talk at once."
Chloe laughed slightly, breaking the tension.
"How did you get here?" Lana asked.
Taylor gave her a glance and then spoke to Clark. "I was in the year 2009 but I was sent back here by Jor-El for some reason. I don't know why but he said that he had to show me something. Personally I think he talks bullshit half the time."
Martha looked insulted and Taylor said, "Oh sorry Grandma. I promise I'll put a dollar in the swear jar when I get home."
Martha looked at her and said, "I don't mind honey. I can make an exception for my future granddaughter."
Taylor smiled and looked at Clark. He was staring at her and he said, "I thought…I mean I thought I wouldn't be able to…"
Taylor laughed and replied, "Yes, I know. You thought you wouldn't be able to have kids. Yet here I am. Powers and all."
Lois frowned and asked, "Powers? And why can't you have kids?"
Clark looked at her and said, "I'll explain later." Lois looked like she was going to argue but then just nodded.
Taylor smiled, happy that they understood each other so early into their friendship.
Lana smiled widely and said, "This is so amazing! It's wonderful that you're here! Am I a good mom?"
Taylor frowned and said, "How would I know?"
Now everyone was frowning. They automatically thought that Lana was Taylor's mom.
Taylor looked round at them and she realized it too. She made a disgusted face and said, "EW! You think I'm related to her?! That's gross! Oh no, I not…I not in the Clana years am I?"
"Clana years?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, you know, Clark and Lana-Clana" Taylor explained.
Lana looked at Clark with a worried expression and asked, "So Clark and I aren't together in the future."
Taylor shook her head happily. "Nope. The Clana ship sailed years ago…into the middle of the ocean…where it sank…and was eaten by sharks….then the sharks threw it up…and all the pieces were crushed by the water pressure-."
"Ok we get it!" Lana snapped.
Clark frowned and said, "Don't snap at her."
Lana looked like she had been slapped but Clark just looked at Taylor. "So you're my daughter from the future and you were in the year 2026, then 2009 and now you're here?"
Taylor nodded. "And Jor-El sent you here to show you something?"
Taylor nodded again, "That's it. I've just go to figure it out what that is?"
Martha looked at her and said, "How are you feeling?"
Taylor smiled and replied, "Fine thank you."
"Are you sure? I mean you did feint in front of me," Jonathan said.
Taylor looked up at him and nodded. She was still in shock over meeting her grandfather. He was a lot like his pictures and he had a very warm feel about him.
Jonathan looked at her and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Taylor smiled slightly and said, "I haven't seen you in a while Grandpa that's all." Jonathan smiled warmly at and Taylor smiled right back at him.
"Excuse me but can we go back to why Clark and I aren't together?" Lana put in.
Taylor scowled at her and Lois said, "Actually we should go back to how Taylor got here and how she can get home. That seems more important."
The scowl melted off Taylor's face and she took the crystal out of her pocket.
The crystal shined in the sunlight and Taylor said, "This is how I can get home. I just have to figure out what Jor-El meant by showing me something."
Clark cleared his throat and said, "Well we can help you with whatever you need."
Taylor looked at him and said, "How old are you?"
"19" Clark replied. (I'm not sure I might be a year or two off with his age).
Taylor nodded and she was silent for a few minutes and the Clark said, "Um Taylor? Are you ok?"
Taylor nodded and said, "Yes it just…you're still a kid and I'm not used to seeing my dad like this."
Clark started to say something when Taylor suddenly yelled out, "I've got it!"
Everyone jumped and Taylor sat there grinning. "I've got it! I know what Jor-El wanted me to see."
"What is it?" Martha asked.
Taylor looked at Clark and said, "Ever since I first time travelled I was bothered by the fact you made such bad choices, especially concerning Lana."
Lana started to protest when Clark gave her a warning look.
Taylor continued, "But now I get it. When I see you like this, I remember that you were just a kid too. You're not the man I know just yet and even though you made those mistakes, you still grow up to be the man I know."
Taylor smiled and Clark nearly did a double take. Her hazel eyes sparkled when she smiled, a lot like someone he knew. He just couldn't put his finger on who it was.
Taylor stood up and held the crystal in her hand.
"Wait! You can't just leave," Clark protested.
Taylor smiled at him and said, "I think I've told you too much already."
Clark sighed and said, "Can you at least give me some advice? The way you talk about me I must turn out to be a good guy. How do I get to be that guy?"
Taylor smiled softly at him. "You were captain of the football team last year right? And now you're dating Lana Lang, the girl you've liked for years. Best years of your life as they say."
Clark nodded.
Taylor laughed slightly and said, "Things are going to get much better then this Clark. You are going to make so many new friends that you trust with your life and treat like family. You are going to accept your powers and realize that they are a gift. Your wife will be the love of your life and you will finally get that home life you want. Trust me Clark Kent, these are no where near the best years of your life."
Taylor gave everyone another smile and walked towards the door. She had to wipe their minds and since she had to time travel afterwards, it was better she was out of the room. And it didn't matter that she told them because they were going to forget anyway. But she might as well have a little fun with it. She was getting good at this time travel.
Then she stopped and turned around. She jogged towards Jonathan and hugged him. Jonathan seemed surprised but hugged her back.
"I love you Grandpa," Taylor said, her word slightly muffled from the hug.
Jonathan smiled at her and said, "I love you too."
Taylor smiled and pulled away and walked towards the door again.
"Hold on."
Taylor turned to look at Clark.
"Can you please tell me more about my future wife?"
"Clark!" Lana yelled, insulted.
Lois rolled her eyes and said, "Oh put a cork in it will you?!"
Taylor smiled and walked backwards towards the door. "What is with you and that question?"
Clark looked at her pleadingly but Taylor just smiled. She opened the door and stepped out onto the porch.
Right before she closed the door she turned back to the people in the room and said, "See you round…Smallville."
With a smirk she closed the door and held out the crystal.
There was a stunned silence in the house and then Taylor heard, "SMALLVILLE! HOW DARE YOU MARRY ME WITHOUT TELLING ME!"
Taylor smiled and the crystal started to glow.
There was silence in the house again and then Clark said, "Um Lois, were you yelling at me?"
"I don't know Smallville. Weren't we all in the kitchen?"
Taylor walked off the porch and down the drive. She stopped halfway down and looked back at the farm house.
She sighed heavily. Her adventure may have been exciting but she wanted to go back to her own time. More then anything she wanted to see her family again in her own time.
"Time to go home little one," Jor-El said, his voice sounding like it came from the crystal.
Taylor nodded and closed her fist over the crystal. There was a bright light and Taylor closed her eyes.
When she opened them, she was looking up at a ceiling. She looked around and gasped. She was in her own room in her own house. She saw the farm out of her window and she was in her bed. She could see her wardrobe with her clothes in it. Her things were all over the room and there were pictures of her and her family on the windows and walls.
Taylor sat up and winched. There was a pain in her head and when she touched her forehead she felt a small bump.
"When did I get that?" she wondered out loud.
Then her good mood retuned and she hopped out of bed. She tore the door open, nearly off its hinges and sprinted down the stairs.
She was home.
Only two more chapters left guys. Three at the most.
