D-Day: 9 days remaining

Rowena hates this. Of all the jobs to get how come she has to be the night watchman this week. Clark and Kara should do it they're much more qualified then her she thinks to herself. Rowena had no idea how right she is because as she is in her deep train of thought she doesn't see a man in the shadows sneak right past her. The man keeps moving until a door opens revealing Kara. Just his luck he found the wrong one. The man simply jabs a syringe into her arm and to Kara's surprise it goes through emptying its content into her.

Kara's eyes are heavy. "W-what did you?"

The man catches Kara and places her on her bed leaving the syringe in her arm because she'll wake up in about 2 seconds without it.

The man walks into Clark and Dawn's room and sees them both asleep in each others arms. The man pulls out an empty syringe with a blue needle tip similar what he used on Kara and takes Clark's blood. Getting what he needed he quickly left Slayer HQ.

The man walked to his jet that was shaped like a giant bat he pushes a button on his belt and the top opens. When it does Buffy sticks her head out of it. Causing Batman's eyes to widen and mouth to open in shock. How the hell did she do that?

"Hey Batsy what took you so long?"

D-Day 8 days remaining

Everyone went off working like it was a usual day. Clark was training with Lois much to his chagrin as Buffy has business elsewhere apparently according to Willow. The witch herself however was working with the other witch in the house trying to figure out the threshold of Dawn's new powers she said she had in the other world.

Dawn tried again but failed to pull the power out. "What am I doing wrong?"

Willow shrugged. "You're trying too hard Dawnie."

Dawn looked at her confused. "So I should just give up on this new power?"

Willow shook her head no. "You didn't think. You didn't look for a trigger you just pulled it out. So what were you feeling for the first time you did it?"

"I don't know." Dawn said as she looked over to Clark. "Ultraman was hurting him and…"

Willow looked over at Clark. She has a pretty good idea what the trigger is. "I am seriously tempted to go bi for him."

Dawn's jaw almost dropped. "Willow!"

"Well look at him!" Willow defended her choice. "All the muscles in the right place nicest guy in the group. The things I could probably do to him."

Dawn can't believe this. "We came back to the wrong world."

Willow turned to Dawn. "Oh Dawnie come on. Look at him."

Dawn can't believe this its RJ all over again. "What do you even think you could to him?"

Willow smiled. "All the mojo going through me I can hit him at all the right pressure spots and make him scream in ecstasy. Straddle him and make him beg for more."

Dawn eyes glowed green in anger. "Willow you go near him."

Willow just burst on the floor laughing. "Relax Dawnie I'm still not one for the butch."

Dawn's eyes went back to their regular blue as she calmed down. "So what was that about?"

"Hacking you off" Willow answered. "Much like the Hulk you go green with anger."

"Won't Xander be impressed?" Dawn quipped. "So what is it exactly?"

Willow shrugged she doesn't have an exact lead and the key mucks up reading Dawn. "If I had to guess, I think it would be the key."

Dawn nodded. "That's what I thought with all the green. Any idea why it's acting up now?"

Willow shrugged. "Maybe you're getting older. You're reaching your peak."

Dawn just cleared her mind and used the wind spirits to pick her up off the ground so she was hovering. Now is the interesting part she taps into the key's power and lo and behold she's in the air. She smiles in joy when it works as she flies around HQ. She can control the dark magic and use the power of the key to keep her afloat. She's certainly not going to be breaking the speed barrier like Clark and Kara can but the fact that she can fly with Clark brings a certain joy to her. Clark looks up and takes the blue K bracelet off when did this happen? Lois sees Clark distracted and punches in the stomach.

"Damn it Smallville why did you take that off." Lois shouted cradling her hand.

Clark points up and follows his girlfriend into the sky. Lois just smirks only in their lives can this happen? Clark flies up and meets Dawn and stops her from nearly crashing into him.

"So when did this happen?" Clark asked.

Dawn shrugged. "You know I've been working on a way to do this for months. My fight with Ultraman just showed me the missing piece."

Clark smiled. "Dawn that's great."

The witch just nodded and took Clark's hands. "Come on"

Clark followed her up to the sky. "Where are we going?"

Dawn smirked. "Don't look at me like that we've tried to do it once or twice now we can."

Back in Gotham Bruce is landing the batwing. He still wants to know how Buffy got the jump on him.

"Magic"

"No"

"Mercury switches"

"No"

"Heartbeat detectors"

Buffy was set to say no again until she saw in awful sight laid out on the medical bed. "Chloe!"

Buffy saw her and the transformation had begun. She was half a foot taller and looks like she spent a pretty penny on plastic surgery. However that was expected what Buffy wasn't expecting was that parts of Chloe's face were chipping off something was horribly wrong with her as she breathed fire. Batman took Clark's blood and poured it into a different syringe this one had what seemed like a gold needle but Batman was able to plunge the syringe into Chloe's neck and inject Clark's blood into her. Chloe breathed fire from the pain but soon enough Clark's blood seemed to do the trick as her face started healing itself and she panted before being able to get up on her feet for the first time in days. It's good to know that even if Bizarra was still around she'd be dieing right now from the unbalanced mutation from absorbing a girl instead of a guy like she was supposed to.

Chloe got up and turned to Buffy. "Buffy, what are you doing here?"

"You sent me here to find you." Buffy replied.

Chloe went to get the cup Alfred had made her and took a drink. It was stone cold. Chloe wouldn't let that stop her from coffee so she blew on it expecting to burn it a bit instead she froze it. "Huh"

Buffy smiled. "You're DNA is pure kryptonian now. You'll have Clark's powers."

Chloe was confused they didn't run one test. "How do you know that?"

Buffy just answered. "Because you told me in the future."

Chloe just tuts. "Yeah right"

Buffy just smiled. "Your future self also said to tell you that you have a birthmark on your cheek so I can prove it."

Chloe rolled her eyes. "No I don't."

"Not that cheek"

"You could have learned that from Clark."

Buffy rolls her eyes and just puts her hands over her mouth and whispers something that only Chloe could hear. Chloe's face ran red with color and she desperately put her hands up. "OK you're from the future just don't ever say that out loud again. What do you want?"

Kara woke up in a daze and pulled the syringe out of her arm and spotted the blue kryptonite tip. She blurred outside and saw everyone at work. Did they seriously not even bother to check up on her? Xander spotted her and was surprised. "Kara I'm kind of amazed you're still here figured you'd be in LA by now."

Kara glared at him. "Are you kidding me I was attacked and drugged last night? None of you idiots even checked up on me."

Xander put his hands up. "In our defense if you didn't sleep here hardly anyone would think you live here."

Kara just put her hands up. "Forget it where's Kal is he alright."

Xander nods. "CK is fine he's with Dawn."

Kara listens for him and just looks up. "How the hell are they doing that?"

Xander looked at her. "Doing what?"

Kara just shouted. "Kal you and your girlfriend get some clothes on and get your butts down here. Now!"

Xander caught on. "You mean to tell me they're in the sky doing"

"Yeah"

"And"

"Yeah"

"And"

"Yeah"

Xander just shakes his head in a smile. "Only the two of them."

Buffy was watching Chloe bench press the batmobile. It's kind of sad that something like that doesn't impress her anymore. She turns around and sees an elderly man coming down through the trap doors.

Alfred looks at the new blond. "Well young lady it appears you have discovered my secret. I am Batman."

"She already knows Alfred." Bruce replies.

Alfred just nods. "I see Master Wayne. Though I am here to inform you that master Dick and Master Jason have not returned from patrol last night."

Bruce gave a patented glare and turned to the computer. "You and Chloe talk some of us actually have work to do."

The two girls stuck their tongues out behind his back and went and had their own conversation.

"I saw that."

Clark and Dawn came down and face the others sloppily dressed. Xander and Lois roll their eyes. Kara wishes she had told them to take a shower first she can smell it on them. Willow just had a knowing smirk. "Good flight."

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Yes you and Kara should try it. In the meanwhile what's up?"

Kara glared at Dawn she'll pay for that one later but it does give her an idea next time she's in LA. "I was attacked by someone who was dressed like a giant bat. And Buffy's missing."

Dawn turned to Willow. "Where's Buffy?"

Willow just looked away and Dawn knows the trying not to lie look. "Willow where is my sister."

Dawn asks again. "Willow where is my sister."

Willow just looked down at her shoes. She can't believe that Dawn is guilt tripping her. "Gotham and she ordered me to make sure she wasn't followed."

Clark turned to Dawn. "I think it's about time for us to take our trip today."

Dawn nodded seeing what Clark was up to. "I think you're right. I want to see Gotham I heard that's a nice place."

Willow glared at the two. Buffy told them that Clark's trips can't be interrupted as they learned when they met Zatanna and gained another ally. "Go"

Buffy laid it out for Chloe and then moved onto something personal. "Chloe why did you leave us?"

Chloe shrugged. "I had my reasons."

Buffy looked her in her now blue eyes. Chloe could probably crush her like a paper cup if she wants to. "Such as"

"Lois would freak and" Chloe changed her voice to Clark's. "Chloe despite the fact that you and Davis willingly chose to come to LA, also the fact that Davis never once considered using blue kryptonite to learn how to fight, and you chose to attack the phantom in a fury making you the busty kryptonian you are now. I'm sure somehow someway this is all my fault."

Buffy stood jaw dropped. "Ok one very funny, two creepy, three how did you do that."

Chloe smiled and spoke. "Precise muscle control" Chloe's voice changed to Buffy's "And I have a pretty good ear slayer."

Buffy just points at her. "Don't do that."

Clark was flying into Gotham dressed as the blur. Dawn was right behind him flying as Magigirl. When Clark said he wanted someone he could share his life with he didn't think he meant this much. Clark was using his ears listening in for Buffy he turns to Dawn to make friendly talk in the meantime.

"Can't believe you're wearing that?" Clark says bluntly.

Dawn just looked at him. "Hey you and the justice bros aren't the only people that can dress up like Halloween and save people. Besides I want to see what Buffy says about it."

Clark just smiles. He can't wait to see Buffy's reaction to this. Clark's hearing picks up something not Buffy but two people in deep trouble. "Dawn the search for your sister is going to have wait."

Dawn just nods. "Lead the way"

Nightwing is currently struggling to break free. Bruce warned him not to go after the Joker hot headed after what happened to Barbara but did he listen no. Now he and Jason are strapped in a chamber that can be filled with Joker's gas any minute.

The Joker just looks giddy in his perpetual smile. "Well this should break old Batsy completely don't you think Har?"

"Poor old bats will never know what hit him Mr. J." Harley agreed reaching for the lever.

The two are distracted when the second story wall is blasted apart. First one in is a young man in a black shirt with a red S in it and a pair of jeans. The next one is a girl in glowing green eyes with brunette hair and black mask in a red duster with the same S.

Joker just pointed. "Fresh meat for the grinder"

Clark just looked the two over. The man was in a custom made purple suit his hair was dyed green. He wore face paint like a clown only his smile was permanent likely done with a razor. Next to him was a girl dressed up as a hot nurse in a skintight red and purple top with a white miniskirt. Twin blond ponytails with a black mask like Dawn's and a familiar razor job which looks like the clown did it.

Dawn looks to the chamber and sees two young guys strapped into it. The first one looks to be Clark's age with black hair and a black mask. He's dressed in a black bodysuit with a bird over it. Gliders are attached to his arms that let him glide through the air. The other one is a bit younger with a similar black mask but a completely different costume this one was red and black with an R on his chest along with a yellow cape.

Clark takes a step towards the Joker and the clown warned. "Take another step towards me and the boy wonders go bye, bye."

Clark moves at superspeed and the Joker is suddenly facing a front of Superboy, Nightwing, Robin, and Magigirl.

"Huh Faster than a speeding bullet and more powerful then a locomotive…and judging from the hole in my house just as subtle." Joker whined.

"You ready to give up?" Nightwing asked.

Joker stared at him. "We've only just begun bird boy." The Joker emptied a bag of marbles across the floor.

"Be careful they're grenades." Nightwing warned.

Clark froze the marbles insuring they'd never go off.

"Or that, you can do that." Nightwing decided.

Joker just looked to Dawn. "You want to know how I got these scars?"

Dawn just rolled her eyes. "People ran out of tomatoes to throw at you so for being a lame comedian so they switched to knives."

Joker growled at her that wasn't funny. "Why you?"

Joker went to take a swing at Dawn but Clark got between them which led to a clown with a broken hand. Joker can't believe this. Who is this guy? He just puts his hands up in surrender. "Well at least the food at Arkam is nice this time of year."

Robin tackled him to the ground. And broke his ankles with his feet as payback for what he did to Barbara.

Joker just growled. "You'll pay for that kid."

Nightwing slapped the cuffs on Harley. Dawn walked over to Joker and put her new staff to his head intending to put him to sleep.

Joker just smiled. "Ooh a new bat toy."

Dawn just smacked him in the head with her staff and read his OD. It was the worst mistake she has ever made in her life and that's saying something. She had sensed evil before. When she's near Angel she can pick up waves of Angelus. Whatever this was it was so much worse. Dawn actually felt sick from it and judging from the way the 3 guys are looking at her she might look sick. Dawn felt light headed and passed out into Clark's arms.

"Do you have a place I can take her?" Clark asked.

Nightwing cuffed Joker to Harley and hung them up on a grapple. "We have a place."

Back at the batcave Bruce just watched the scene with a smil…well something less scowly. Dick and Jason didn't rip Joker apart. And apparently they're going to have company real soon. Buffy has vowed never to stay in Gotham again Bruce has turned every cell phone in the city into a tracking device. Buffy just watched the scene. "So who was that girl in the red duster?"

Bruce looks at her and turns to Chloe. "That's her sarcasm right."

Chloe just shook her head. "Sadly no"

Buffy just turned to the two. "What are you talking about?"

Chloe just sighed and started. "The mystery girl is no mystery girl. It's Dawn."

Buffy just started laughing. "Yeah right, that's a good one Chloe."

Chloe just rolled her eyes. "It's not a good one Buffy I looked through her mask."

"Dawn can't fly the girl could and green eyes Dawn can't." Buffy replied not giving this up.

Chloe shrugged. "And two months ago I couldn't fly and I didn't have to buy custom bras. Dawnie made a choice she chose to fight on the front lines instead of being watcher Jr. Can you live with that?"

Buffy shrugged. "I'm going to have to aren't I. First my husband now my sister." Not to mention her daughter but Chloe doesn't need to know that yet.

Chloe nodded. "By the way I saw an article in the paper and the ring on your finger. So what exactly do I call you now?"

Buffy just smiled. "Buffy Queen-Summers"

"Why'd you choose that?" Chloe asked.

"I like my last name and there would only be so many queen of the slayers jokes before I grab the scythe and play a round of off with their heads." Buffy replied.

The side door opened to see Clark running with Dawn in his arms following Dick and Jason on their motorcycles. Clark ran up and to his shock found Chloe taller and with a much bigger bust talking to Buffy. He puts Dawn on the table and Bruce calls for Alfred. The elderly butler has become a field medic of the entire bat family. The medic quickly looks the girl over.

"Is she going to be OK?" Clark asked.

Alfred turned to Nightwing. "Can you please get me a bottle of scotch?"

Nightwing's eyes popped out. "You're doing this drunk Al?"

Alfred smiled. "It's not for me it's for Mr. Kent he's going to jump out of his skin soon."

Clark glared at him as everyone else cracked up laughing except Bruce.

D-day 7 days remaining

Clark just sat in Wayne matter having tea. Bruce so 'elegantly' said he knew 2 hours after the 'batman' incident in Paris but Chloe didn't tell him he had to figure it out on his own. Clark just decided to say he knew who Bruce was when he stole Bruce's costume keeping Alfred out of trouble for letting him borrow it. Clark turned around and saw he was having some company with his breakfast as Chloe came out.

"Morning Chloe"

"Clark, so how have these last 6 months treated you?"

Clark shrugged. "I went to an alternate universe where Lois was an award winning investigative reporter with me as her partner. How about you?"

"I became a kryptonian along with the bustiest woman alive remember." Chloe answered. "I have some things I need you to see and talk to you about."

"Like what?" Clark asked.

Chloe smiled before she went up and came down in the clothes she wore from the future. "So what do you think?"

Clark couldn't take his eyes off her. "I like the cape, the gloves, and the belt buckle. But why are you…"

"Dressed like her." Chloe finished Clark's question who just nods. "It's crazy but when I'm out there saving lives it's like I'm rubbing her nose in it. Like your power you wanted so badly is being used to save people. I know its nuts but it works for me."

Clark nods in understanding it's just a costume after all. "So what else do you want?"

Chloe sat down at the table and put her arm out across to Clark. "Come on arm wrestling match."

Clark was excited he only ever got to do this with Kara and he was guaranteed to lose for obvious reasons. Clark put his arm on the table. The two kryptonians interlocked and on 3 they went. The fight was a stalemate. Clark guesses since Chloe wasn't exactly Kara's clone she doesn't get the slayer thing. Chloe did however have a bit of an advantage on him. She also realized that they could keep this up for hours and they had better things to do. Chloe leaned over the table and gave Clark an eyeful causing his face to turn red and easily letting her put his arm to the ground.

Chloe put her arms up in victory. "The king is dead long live the queen."

"The king will never die." Clark objected. "Now he's just a humble servant of the empress."

They both break down in laughter at the moment. 7 months has been far too long for either of them regardless what they felt. Clark recovered and started. "You know Chloe you should really come home with us. Lois is missing you like crazy."

Chloe just nodded. "I miss her too. But I can't go. Me and Bruce are working on something. Something much bigger than one slayer cell."

Clark nodded in defeat if she believes in what she's doing he has no right to take her away. "I'll give her your best."

"You better not."

Clark looked at her confused. "Chloe what are you talking about."

Chloe shrugged. "You shouldn't go back to the cell until D-day and you know it."

Clark looked into her eyes. "Chloe"

"Clark" Chloe sighed as she pinched the side of her nose. "In spite of everything your parents, me, Dawn, Faith, Buffy have done for you we both know that Jor El is the only person that can push you further from here on out. As much as you love Dawn we both know we have to do everything we can to stop D-Day and rest assured I will be right out there fighting with you guys on that day. But now we have to get ready for it."

Clark got up and went to the clock trapdoor.

"Where are you going?" Chloe asked.

"To say goodbye."

Chloe just stopped him. "Clark about Davis."

"it wasn't my fault." Clark answered. "Davis made his choices I learned that a long time ago. All I can do is take responsibility for my own actions."

Chloe just smiled at her best friend and hugged him. "Well it's about time you learned it. Take care of yourself Clark."

"You too Chloe. See you on D-day."

Dawn got up holding her head. What the hell was that clown. She got up but Buffy held her down. "Easy Dawnie one step at a time."

"What happened?" Dawn asked.

Buffy shrugs. "You passed out trying tot hypnotize a clown of all things."

The memories of last night rushed into Dawn's head. "That was no ordinary clown. That was the most evil thing I've ever felt. I don't think the Judge could even burn him. He has killed so many people and he's only human."

Buffy just put her hand on her shoulder for support. "Not all monsters are demons you know that."

Dawn just nodded. "Doesn't make dealing with it any easier. I mean I know we can't I've seen where it leads Faith and Willow. I just…"

"I know." Buffy said. She really does too. She can't count how many times she wanted to kill Ethan, or Maggie and any other human that worked with demons. "Dawn"

"Yeah Buffy"

"if super villains kidnap you I'm telling."

Clark came down and saw Dawn laughing but upset. Great he has to leave and she's upset. Dawn spotted him and this should be the bright side of her day but when she gets there sees it in his eyes. "You're leaving."

Clark just nods. "I'm going to go train with Jor El. Learn as much as I can before the big day." Clark turns to Buffy. "I'm grateful for everything you've all done for me…"

Buffy puts her hands up. "We get it apocalypse coming and this isn't the end."

Clark turns to Dawn. "I don't know what to say or how to start."

Dawn just grabbed onto Clark. "Discede." The two disappeared from the batcave.

Chloe came down and looked around. "Clark go to the fortress?"

Buffy nods. "Take it you had something to do with that?"

Chloe nods. "You trained him well."

Buffy nodded. "Me and Faith did all we could for him it's all up to him with what he does now."

Chloe turns over to Bruce. "Nothing to say?"

Bruce just looks at her. "Just a little concerned about how powerful the children of two immortals can be."

Buffy turned to him. "Dear god are you always this paranoid about everything. And what the hell do you mean by immortals? Dawn's a human Clark is well with how he heals he might just stick around for a while."

Batman brings up two DNA strands one is kryptonian which Buffy assumes is Chloe's and the other one is Dawn's judging from the bits of green.

Buffy just stares at it. "Nice swirly lines."

Batman started to explain the situation. "The first strand is Clark's left over from the syringe I injected Chloe with. His body is a walking solar battery as long as there is a sun in the sky he won't be getting much older."

"And Dawn" Buffy asked.

"The green energy is growing more powerful as she matures. At some point around 23-25 she's going to stop aging unless the energy is removed."

Buffy knows the truth. She figured since the monks made her human the key energy would die with her of old age. But considering the key is actually 7,000 years old she really shouldn't be surprised it can do this to Dawn. Willow already checked there is no way to remove the key from Dawn just to turn her back into a green blob of energy.

Chloe looks at Buffy. "Hey are you alright."

Buffy nods "Just trying to figure out how to tell my sister she's immortal."

Batman face saddened he thought she knew this already. "I'll charter a jet. It will take you right back to Scotland or wherever you want to go."

Dawn had teleported Clark and herself back to Smallville his loft to be exact. She's not stupid she knows he's right. She just wanted to get him somewhere in private away from other people. No noises, no cries for help, no smartass friends just the two of them. They spent the whole day together. Mostly making love exploring each others bodies using and not not using blue kryptonite so Clark can give everything he has to her. The world dissolves to them leaving the 2 of them surrounded by waves of pleasure coursing through their bodies. The perfect cure for the Joker incident.

Dawn was catching her breath as Clark rolled off her. "That was just…wow."

Clark nods in agreement. "Yeah definitely our best."

Dawn looked up at the clock. "Whoa beat our record and then some." Dawn got up and started putting her clothes back on.

Clark got up and did the very same. "Dawn I love you."

Dawn smiled. "I wouldn't have done all that if you didn't. And I love you too."

Clark looked at the corner of the loft and sees a familiar box. "Dawn"

"Yeah"

Clark just looked down. "Never mind, do you need a lift back?"

Dawn shook her head. "I can teleport myself back."

Clark just shot up now is not the time to be the shy farmboy. "Dawn, when I get back can we go to that restaurant in Paris we went to after LA."

Dawn nodded. "Sure I loved that place although you're going to go bankrupt again farmer brown." That place wasn't exactly cheap on Clark's budget.

Clark smiled. "It will be worth it to me." He walks over and hugs her and kisses her goodbye for now.

Dawn breaks out and teleports home.

Clark picked up the box and is in thought. However he quickly realizes now is not the time and starts flying north to the fortress.

Author's notes.

Thanks for the reviews

The fight with the Joker proves why Superman stays out of Gotham

I meant to post this last time but forgot. Lost in time and space went longer than I thought it would which probably means the rest will go longer to so I don't know when this will really end.

Final Stop: Metropolis.
