Ok I forgot last time to do the Disclaimer thing so here it is: I do not
own Smallville or X-Men. DC Comics owns Superman. The X-Men are owned by
Marvel Comics. Oh well. Here's chapter 3.
Clark was stargazing as always, it was a clear Saturday night and there was nothing else to do. Lana was at the Talon, Pete was with his family doing some family obligation thing, and Chloe was at home working on her next column for the Daily Planet. Everything in the sky looked normal. A few normal meteors a shooting star here and there. Pretty much a normal night in the solar system. He sighed and looked up from the telescope. Everything was so peaceful tonight. It almost made him wish for something exciting, and adventurous. Like when he was in Metropolis this summer. He thought for a few seconds and then thought "Nah" and almost had to laugh at himself for doing so, and went back to looking into his telescope.
In New York, a jet was taking off from a school, on board were three mutants, the two eldest: Scott, and Ororo. And a teenage girl named Rogue. They were headed west into the last fading light of the sun heading for somewhere called Smallville, or somewhere like that Rogue thought. She was very excited, it was her first so called mission and she had no clue what she was doing. Ororo/Storm had given her a brief overview of the mission but she didn't know exact details of everything but as Ororo had said every mission is different and new changes and problems come up during different missions.
"Ok where exactly is Smallville?" Rogue spoke up the suspense was killing her. She should at least know where she was going shouldn't she?
"Smallville is in Kansas, its very close to Metropolis, we have had close calls there before." Scott/Cyclopes turned around and answered, and then resumed to fly the jet.
"What exactly do you mean by close encounters...other mutants?" Rogue asked again.
"Well, now that's a little difficult to explain", Ororo/Storm started out; "you see Smallville was the location of a very big meteor shower about 15 years ago. As a result many people started to have strange effects to the meteors. People with deadly diseases were cured, and many people gained certain abilities. At first we thought they were regular Mutants but in time we came to find that they were nothing normal. We generally just avoid Smallville when we come up with a new one, but this time the Professor was convinced that it could be for real." Ororo finished adjusted her controls on her council and got back into her zone. Rogue sighed it was going to be a long trip, and at the end there might not even be a real mutant. The view out of her window was slowly changing from urban to rural, with plenty of fields to spare.
"How much longer till we get there?" Rogue asked.
"Id say about another hour or so depending on if we have to adjust our altitude for anything." Scott replied.
"Fun, Fun", Rogue muttered under her breath it really was going to be a long ride.
Smallville - Kent Farm
Clark was just about ready to leave his post at the telescope. It was 8:00 p.m. He was growing bored not finding anything new or interesting. 'Maybe there's something on TV, or Ill go online' he thought to himself. He took one last look before leaving the barn, and what he saw was a little weird. A jet. Clark's mind went into super speed thinking of all the possibilities why there would be a jet in Kansas, and even more surprising it seemed to be landing on his farm! Clark watched it as it landed thinking the whole time it was the government or some organization coming to get him, and ask all of these questions and then study him for the rest of his life. Then someone came out of the jet, which was now safely parked, on the farm. It was a girl and she looked about his age.
"Hello, Clark are you here", she yelled out, "It's ok to come out". Clark just watched her from his now hiding place bewildered at what he was seeing. Somewhere from within him you knew he had to meet her. Clark walked slowly out of the barn, trying to stay hidden for as long as possible. But then he noticed that the girl was not alone there were also two adults with her, one of which had a strange looking eyepiece on. Clark walked slowly up to them, they spotted him.
The girl spoke again he voice was sweetest one he had ever heard, even better then Lana's, "Hello Clark, I'm Rogue".
