Title: Two Spaceships
Disclaimer: I don't own nada. Just the plot.
A sweat trickled down the back his neck and onto his broad shoulders. He dabbed the back of his hand across his forehead before hunching over to grab a stack of hay and threw it against the side of the barnyard. Just a couple more, he thought. I wonder what Pete's doing today. He wiped his black hair out of his face, which exposed his green eyes.
The sun bared its rays, piercing the farm with its heat; not one cloud in sight. Saturday mornings could not be more exciting than doing chores around the farm. Clark Kent, son of Jonathon and Martha Kent, was finishing off a couple more haystacks when his parents came around the corner in the family's red truck. There wasn't any sign of resemblance between Clark and his parents. Clark was tall and built, with black hair and green eyes. While his parents had brown hair, and blue eyes. Perhaps, the only resemblance was the clothing; plaid and jeans.
"Clark?" His father yelled out over the engines clatter. Jonathon poked his head out of the window and looked at his son. "Your mother and I are heading into town to run some errands. Do you want anything?"
Clark shook his head no, "But Pete and I might do something today. I'm going to call him later." He bent over and grabbed two more stacks, one in each hand.
"Ok," Jonathon nodded his head. "Well, we'll be back in an hour. Leave us a note when you go, alright?"
"Sure, Dad. Bye." Clark saw his mom waved at him from inside the vehicle. He gave a little wave at his parents and watched his parents drive off before going back to work. When he finally finished, he went inside his house and took a quick shower.

A couple miles into town, the Talon was running swiftly. Lana Lang, the owner of the coffee house, was pouring some coffee for her customers. Mornings like these were always filled with clients waiting for their coffee. Not only was it a coffee house, but it was also a popular hang out. It was always playing music and the building was comfortable just by the look of it on the outside. Lana created the Talon with the help of Alexander Luthor, who was her co-partner, also known as Lex. The idea was thought by Lana, however the production was caused by Lex, prince of Smallville and son of Lionel Luthor.
Chloe Sullivan walked into the Talon and greeted Lana, "Morning!" She looked around and noticed the building was filled with dozens of people. "Looks like a tight pack this morning," She said with a smile.
Lana grinned and looked around, "Yeah, its been pretty busy all morning but hey, who's complaining?" Lana placed her coffeepot down and sat with Chloe, resting her feet until another customer would call her. Before Lana could open her mouth to say another word, she heard a screeching sound followed by a deafening crash. Suddenly the floor gave a brief shake.
People looked out from their windows and discovered rocks flying from the sky. They looked familiar with their green vibrant lights and massacre signs. The sky turned dark and gray grasping hold of the town. It got cold and for a second, it looked as though they had no way out.
Everyone ran out of the Talon including Lana and Chloe. Civilians started to panic and screamed. Some of them ran into their vehicles hoping they could escape the rocks. Chloe and Lana heard a rock come flying at them and watched it crashed into a car that was parked on the side of the curb. Both girls shield away their eyes hoping it was just a dream. Cars were honking and beeping for a way out but one blue vehicle drove up to the girls and honked. It was Pete. Chloe quickly got in the car but Lana didn't follow her.
Lana seemed to have frozen. Her mind suddenly took her back to the first time this had happened. Her aunt, Nell, and 8 year-old Lana were sitting in front of her parent's store, waiting for them to come back from their errands. For a split second she was overjoyed when she saw her parents but before she could reach them, a meteor rock had collided into her parent's truck, killing them both. Lana heard a voice calling her and she snapped out of it. She saw Chloe pulling her into the car as quickly as possible. Once in, Pete sped off into the direction of the fields.

"I agree we should consider that pursuit however it is more wise if we-" Mr. Lionel Luthor was interrupted by his assistant.
"Mr. Luthor, sir?" His assistant was more afraid of his boss more than ever. But the reason he interrupted him was very important. Lionel Luthor was in the middle of a meeting along with his son, Lex Luthor, in Metropolis. They were in a discussion about the Luthor Plantation.
Lionel got up from his seat and left the meetings desk to find himself outside the room. Lex had followed, since the assistant didn't ask for a specific Luthor. "What is it?"
"Sir, Smallville is in danger. Meteor rocks are raining down destroying every part of the town. Your mansion, sir, is also in danger because half of your home is already in destruct. Is there anything you would like me to do?" The assistant looked at Mr. Luthor and then at Lex. Lionel was thinking while Lex had already pulled out his cell phone and had called for someone to bring his car around. He then called the one person that he believed was his true friend.

Clark stepped out of the shower and dried himself off. He got dress and went downstairs for a snack before calling Pete. But before he could reach the kitchen, he looked out of his window and noticed a pack of rocks flying down into the town. Dozens of black spots were at every angle in the sky. On his way out of the house, he thought he heard the phone ring, but dismissed it as he raced out of the house. He spotted a car racing towards him and recognized it immediately. The second the car came to a halt, the passengers got out.
"Are you guys ok? What's going on?" Clark blurted out and inspected them with his X ray vision before getting an answer from them. They were ok.
Pete was the first to talk since Lana was still in shock and Chloe was trying to reassure her. "I don't know but there are meteor rocks all over town. They are moving fast! I just picked up Chloe and Lana from the Talon and they're ok, but Lana is still in shock."
Clark looked over at Lana and bit his lip. Suddenly he thought of his parents, "My parents-they're in town right now-running errands. I need to go get them! You guys stay here, I'm going to go-"
"Clark! Are you crazy? You'll get killed!" Chloe shouted. She stared up at him, but she knew there was no stopping Clark.
Chloe and Lana were worried about Clark's safety, but Pete knew that the only thing that could kill him was kryptonite. Nothing more, nothing less. There was a moment of silence before Clark started to walk in the direction of the town. He turned back and noted, "If my parents get back, tell them to stay here. Don't go anywhere." Before anyone could do or say anything, Clark ran around the corner and before he switched to agility, he looked behind him to see if any of his friends were looking.

With one hand in his pocket and the other holding a cell phone, Lex was outside of his father's building, Luthor Corp waiting for his ride. His vehicle pulled up to where he was standing and the driver got out of the car, handing Lex the keys. Quickly Lex got in and continued to call Clark but no one was picking up. He quickly grew worried. Lex stepped on the gas petal and steered out into the left lane, unaware of the other vehicles driving. He dialed the number to the Talon, hoping Lana would pick up but instead the phone kept ringing and ringing. Lex sighed and blasted his music to keep him from fear that his friends might not have survived.

Clark only had one thing in his mind and it was to find his parents. From across the field to the next, Clark's heart was beating at such a rapid pace that he was scared his heart would burst any second. With such a speed, he didn't realize his feet were lifting up from the ground, and before he knew it, he was floating higher and higher. Clark was afraid when it came to heights. He started to panic, and questions flew through his mind. Was he flying? How was he going to get down? Can anyone see him? How far up is he?
Within seconds he was floating above the town, and a meteor rock almost hit him when he dodge it. For some reason, his body knew how to land without falling. Clark settled on his feet in the back of some store. He ran out onto the streets to find some buildings on fire and ready to crash to the ground while others were already ashes.
Clark looked around and found no signs of his parents or his parent's truck. He walked up and down the streets until he finally thought that he should be some use for these people. He looked around for people who seemed to be unconscious, dismissing the thought that they might be dead. He packed two people on his shoulders and started walking towards the hospital. He looked back to see if anyone was watching before he sprang into agility and raced to the hospital, dropping them off in the emergency room. Tons of people were already in there. Clark knew that the hospital wasn't necessarily safe, and neither was any other place in Smallville but he couldn't think of anywhere else to bring these people to. As quickly as he arrived, he left the building and went back to town to help more people.

Back at the farm, Chloe, Lana and Pete went up to the loft knowing that it had a great outlook of the town, and they could keep their eye on it.
Chloe helped Lana up but Lana refused, "Thanks, but I'm fine. Just a little shaken up, that's all." Lana smiled to prove her point. They sat on the couch provided while Pete looked through the telescope.
Chloe was definitely scared for not only herself, but she had no idea where her father was. She prayed that her dad was ok and that she would see him when everything was over. But at the same time, she couldn't help but think, that when everything is over, she'll be able to put up some more stories on her Wall of Weird.
Lana on the other hand kept thinking about her parents. And Nell. She wanted to hug them so much but it was impossible. Right now, she could only pray that she would get out of this alive. Her next thought was Clark. For some reason though, she knew that he was going to be ok. He was always able to get out of the worst situations, especially the matter between life and death.
Pete looked down at the girls. As much as he didn't want to worry about Clark he had to. Even though Clark has super human strength, there's no doubt that these meteor rocks contain kryptonite. Which means if one crashed down on Clark, he could die. Pete shook his head.
Moments later, they all heard a car pull up to the loft. It was Mr. and Mrs. Kent.
"Clark?" They heard Mrs. Kent called up to the loft. Pete told Chloe and Lana to stay while he goes down to check on them. When Jonathon saw Pete he had a sign of relief thinking that Clark was with him. But when Jonathon didn't see Clark following after Pete, he questioned him, "Where's Clark?"
"He left to go look for you guys."
"When?" Martha asked.
"Just a couple minutes ago."
Jonathon sighed and looked at Martha. "We should stay here, just in case Clark comes back-" Just then, a huge meteor crashed and landed out in the field of the Kent's farm and a couple little ones started to shower around the area. Mr. Kent looked out into his field and found it burning. His first thought was to go down into the cellar for cover.
"But Mr. Kent," Pete's voice grew to a whisper. "We can't. Lana and Chloe will see the ship."
"He's right, Jonathon. Should we risk it?" Martha looked at her husband. Even though the Kents trust Chloe and Lana, they never knew how to tell the girls and they felt it was up to Clark to tell them.
Jonathon shook his head. He thought of another consideration. "We should drive back to town since the meteor is now moving towards us."
Pete nodded his head. Jonathon and Martha quickly got in their truck while Pete rounded up the girls.

Hours later, the shower finally stopped leaving civilians injured and some dead. Lex finally arrived into town and was quickly exposed to the sight. He drove over to the Kents first. He knocked on their doors finding no one.
Lex knew for sure that if he found the Kents at the hospital they would be injured. Hesitated, he shifted into gear and headed for the hospital. When he got there, he walked in and grabbed the first nurse he saw. "Did any of the Kents sign in?"
The nurse realized she was talking to Lex Luthor and she immediately looked over her clipboard. She looked up at Lex and shook her head. "No, I'm sorry."
With a sigh of relief, Lex said thank you and left the hospital. He was determined to find his friend but he didn't know where else to look. He drove back out on the streets in search of something that would lead him to the Kents. He checked out the Talon, but no sign of a human soul. However the coffee place was completely trashed. Windows were shattered, chairs were flipped over and drinks were spilled. The place was empty and uncomfortably quiet.
He walked out and decided not to use his car. He started walking down the street when he noticed a familiar face. The figure, walking towards him, was wearing a once white t-shirt was now full of different colored stains, and was ripped to shreds revealing his muscles. The figure's face was dirty but Lex could make out his green eyes and his facial features. It was Clark, with a boy in each arm. Behind him were the rest of the Kents along with Pete, Chloe and Lana. They were all helping people get back on their feet and answering whatever questions they could.
"Clark!" Clark handed Lex one of the boys without any thoughts whatsoever.
"Lex, no time to talk. Could you get these boys to the hospital?"
Lex looked down at the boys. Their faces were scratched and it looked like the boys were unconscious because the boys didn't make a single sound. And by the looks of them, they were in serious need for hospitality. "Of course." Lex put the boys in his car and drove off as quickly as possible.
~*~
That evening when they sky was cleared and the night was silent, the Kents were back at home, safe and sound. Half the town spent their night at the hospital. Lex had sent the best doctors from Metropolis to Smallville to inspect all the people who needed it. But the town was still in shock.
Clark was found on the porch, as quiet as ever, when his dad came out to check on him.
"Clark? How you doing, son?" His father put his hand on Clark's shoulder and slightly squeezed it.
Clark turned and looked at his dad. He smiled and looked down at his hands. For a while Mr. Kent didn't know what to do, but Clark took care of that. "Dad, do you think this will happen again? It's the second time it's happened and …"Clark paused. He thought carefully before he continued, "The first time, I came down in a ship. Do you think another ship came down today? Maybe someone from where I came from?" Clark cracked his knuckles and sighed. He looked out into the sky and then down into the field. He squinted and eyed something solid, silver and round. "Dad?" He started down the steps.
"What?" Jonathon looked at his son. Then he looked out into the field and understood what Clark was glaring at. He watched as Clark sped over to the object and he ran after him, but he couldn't keep up. Martha walked out onto the porch to see what was going on.
When Jonathon reached his son, he stopped for some air. Both father and son stood in front of the object, hesitating to go any further. Clark looked at his father and took a deep breath. The object was definitely familiar. It was silver and very similar to the one Clark owned. A spaceship, no less, had landed in the middle of their field.
Martha caught up to them and gasped. Just when Clark was about to take another step to bend down and take a look at it, the spaceship opened. A yellow vibrant beam of light surrounded them. Clark and his parents took a step back and shield their eyes from the light. When they looked back down at the ship, a little leg stepped out followed by another leg. Soon after, a little body appeared. Out walked a naked little girl with black long hair, green eyes and a little smirk just like Clark's.
