Kent Farm, Smallville
Superman, Lois, and Martha are coming back inside. Clark looks at everyone in the room, they have all seem to have completed mission planning. Most of them look like they have been up all day, into the night. He sees Chloe is now editing the footage for Lois's newscast. He takes a seat next to her. She comes across something that seems to have gotten her attention, "Clark take a look at this..." She points to a video on the screen. Clark sees what she found. They are looking at the footage from the first night of Booth's capture. Clark exclaims, "That's Booth!"
Brennan comes racing over. She hasn't seen him in days and has been wondering if he's okay. She shoves Clark out of the way so she can get a good look at the screen. Tears start to roll down her cheeks as she sees the images on the laptop screen. "He's alive!" she smiles as she continues, "Is this live?" Chloe looks solemnly up at Bones, "No, this is from a couple days ago. They seem to have moved him somewhere where there aren't any camera's. At least none that are connected to the network." Bones' heart sinks a bit, "So he could be dead?" Chloe isn't sure how to respond to that. But she gives it her best shot, "I don't know if he is or not. But, I don't see any information on the servers showing they have disposed af anything more than just garbage." Brennan appreciates her attempt to spare her feelings, "Thank you for being honest."
Chloe starts to speed up the footage and sees a hooded figure with lights for eyes approaching Booth and loosening his restraints. Chloe moves the progress bar further along to see the person in question removing his mask, "Lois! Get in here!" Lois comes charging over to the computer, "Oh my god!" Clark takes a look at the screen with his wife, "It's your dad!" Lois isn't sure what's going on, or why her father is there. But, now things have gotten more complicated for her. She looks over at Chloe, "Is there any sound?" After a few keystrokes there were able to hear the conversation between the two:
Lane: "Shield your eyes." "All Clear."
Booth:"Wait, there's someone down there." "Colonel Lane?"
Lane: "Quiet, we can talk when we get out of here."
They hear the alarm go off on the video and they can see the two men hit with some kind of tranq darts and dragged away.
"And that is the last we see either of them," Chloe states. Clark asks Chloe to go back to the beginning of the recording, "Maybe there's something there we can use." Chloe goes back to when they had Booth seated and chained, before they hoisted him up. There is someone circling the agent as she plays back the audio: "Ahh, you know who I'm talking about, don't you?" They hear Booth mumble, "That's right! Jacob Brodsky!" Cam hears the name and bolts over to Chloe, "Brodsky!? He's connected to these people?" Chloe looks over at the coroner, "Who's Brodsky?" Lois jumps into the conversation, "Remember, Chloe? I told you about the sniper that was taking out criminals?" Clark speaks up, "Yeah, I remember... It was on Booth's service record."
Bones looks at Clark. He realizes he needs to explain a few things, "I wasn't sure what kind of agent Booth was. I needed to know what kind of person he was." Right now his boss doesn't seem to happy with her intern, super-powered or no. Clark continues, "I asked Chloe to get his service record for me. I just wanted to know if he was a 'shoot first ask questions later' kind of agent." Dr. Brennan takes a moment, "Your logic is sound, you wanted to know if you were going to have to get in the middle of any gun-play." Clark sighs in relief. Cam however is not thrilled with what she just learned, "You had Chloe, here, hack the FBI mainframe for Booth's service record?" Clark hangs his head, "Yes, I understand if you want to fire me." Cam gets a coy grin on her face, extending her hand to the intern, "Tell you what... If your people bring my friend back and you can keep your job." Clark smiles as he takes Dr. Saroyan's hand and shakes it, "Deal!"
Clark gets everyone together in the family room, "Everyone knows their jobs, right?" The group nods back to him. "Alright, We're going to hit them hard. We need to take them by surprise. So is everyone ready?" The group jumps up, except Batman who seems content to stand in the corner and brood, and shouts, "YEAH!"
They all head outside. Superman is taking Arrow, with Hodgins' bag in slung over his shoulder and J'onn's taking Canary. Cyborg gets to his car. The Flash can get there on foot. Superman turns to Batman, "Need a lift?" Batman simply pushes a button on the clasp of his belt. The group watches in awe as black jet lands in the field next to the lab. It's almost circular in shape. The wings have points on the front and back that curve inward in the front following smoothly to turn back into the central fuselage. The rear of the wings curve out to points in the middle as they, too curve back into the central piece into a point. The cockpit is set just behind the intake, which is shaped like the top of Batman's cowl. The canopy opens once it lands. Batman runs over and vaults into the pilots seat and straps himself in, "I can manage."
Looks like they're ready! Let's find out if Clark gets to keep his job! Don't turn that dial!
A/N: Not really a note... But more of a question to you, the readers. I have been trying to catch up on Warehouse 13 and was wondering what you guys think about a Smallville cross over. Maybe Artie finds out that there is someone with abilities far beyond those of mortal men and thinks it's artifact related. Was even thinking of making it about the book that gets Lois, Chloe and Lana possessed by witches. Possible tie in with Claudia and Clark, getting involved. Any thoughts? I promise to finish this one first.
