Thanks for those who reviewed; it always helps to get feed back on stories. As always I do not own Smallville or the X-Men. I only own Cory- the new evil dude. Now for Chapter 17.
Smallville, Kent Farm
It was their first full day at the Kent farm, Bobby and Clark were now at school, and Scott was of course hanging out around town. From the last contact that they had had, he had told Ororo that he was trying to get a job at a mechanics or somewhere like that. He had also told her that he had taken to wearing normal sunglasses, and only got a few strange looks when going into buildings. Logan had talked himself into helping Clark's father with the chores; he was after all, stronger than most people were. Ororo herself had taken to helping Mrs. Kent around the house it was the least she could do. Ororo didn't know much about growing produce but she could at least help with cleaning and cooking. Martha Kent was grateful for the help around the farm, even if she did have to teach Ororo how to weed.
Ororo glanced over at the barn where Logan and Jonathan Kent were fixing some machinery. After a few brief moments where she wasn't sure if they would kill each other, Ororo was finally able to relax to the point that she could now concentrate on her new skill of weeding instead of watching Logan. Things were calm now on the Kent farm, it was nice to be able to relax before anything big happened, to be able to gather ones thoughts. When they were nearly done a phone call came, Martha went into the house to get it but came back outside a few minutes later.
"It's for you Ororo, it was Professor Xavier, it sounded urgent." Martha told her.
"I see," Ororo told her, as she went into the house to get the phone. "Professor it's good to hear from you, I assume you have some information for us to go on." Ororo asked, knowing that the Professor would not want any pleasantries, and would go straight to the point any way.
"Yes I do, Cerebro has allowed me to see that the new mutant is not alone, Mystique is with him." The professor informed her, Ororo was stunned.
"Well this certainly puts a new spin on things doesn't it Professor, do you know why she is with him or what his powers are yet?" She asked, they needed to get a move on things, they hadn't gotten any info yet on their own, although it had only been a day, she was worried.
"No I don't know anything yet, he might be able to block telepathy so I haven't been able to find out his ability. As for Mystique, she may serve as a diversion, be careful of her."
"As always Professor, is there anything we can do though, to move things along?"
"I know you want to get ahead quickly Ororo, but this is a very delicate mission here, lives are at stake. I have been going over newspapers from the past few years in Smallville though, there are some wooded areas near town where meteor rocks have been found. We could probably use some of our own to use, just be sure to not have them around Clark. From what he told me, they make him sick." The Professor told her.
"Of course, Logan and I will start searching immediately, I'm sure the Kent's know where some of the meteor rocks are located."
"Good now just be careful, make sure you are careful, I will contact you again when I have more information." The professor warned.
"Of course, we always are. Good Bye Professor." Ororo hung up the phone and went outside where she found Martha talking with the Jonathan and Logan. It surprised Ororo how much the Kent's had changed since they had come back. She thought that perhaps part of it was do to how Clark was more at ease now, Ororo had certainly noticed, they probably had too. "Logan that was the Professor." She told him when she got to where they all were standing by one of the tractors.
"Any new info?" Logan asked her, turning his attention to matters at hand.
"No, but the professor wants us to find some meteor rock, we might be able to use it against the mutants in some way, but he's not sure how yet." Ororo informed Logan. "Martha, Jonathan, you wouldn't happen to know where there is any meteor rock lying around?" She asked innocently. The two adult Kent's looked at one another, they were surprised that they were asking them.
"Yes, there's a lake by a retirement home, it has a lot of meteor rocks in it." Martha told them.
"Well than that's where we'll go." Logan said. "There wouldn't perhaps be a truck that we could borrow around here...would there?" He asked.
"Of course," Jonathan said. However much he was uneasy to let them borrow the truck, there was a part of him that felt that the sooner the mutants were able to rid Smallville of the evil mutants, the sooner they would leave. This would return their lives back to as normal as they would ever get. He liked them well enough, but Jonathan Kent was a person who liked his privacy, and they were intruding on it.
Ororo and Logan were heading out to the retirement home, Logan was currently unhappy, Ororo knowing his driving skills had insisted on driving out there, besides she had told him, she had the directions and he didn't. Logan just sat and looked out the window amazed that there was nothing of interest to look at. He just couldn't understand why he couldn't drive the truck. Ok so the last time he drove a truck, he had gotten into an accident, but it wasn't his fault. It was Sabertooth's fault, he was after all the one who had attacked him and Rouge on the road. Logan sighed, Kansas had such boring landscape, just farms, woods, and land, as far as the eye could see.
Coming up to the Retirement center they were easily able to find the lake due to the instructions given to them. Walking over the bridge that crossed the lake, Logan and Ororo were easily able to see several green glowing meteor rocks in the water.
"So do you want to go for a swim, or may I take those honors?" Logan asked with a grin on his face.
"Go for it," Ororo said smiling, Logan was just too eager she thought. He was either a little too willing to get this mission over with, or he was just wanting to have some fun, which he seemed to like to do often. Logan jumped into the water getting only his jeans wet, because of the low water level. He reached into the water and immediately brought out a large green meteor rock.
"Found one!" He exclaimed. "That was a little too easy."
"That's probably because of all of the meteors that fell in the meteor shower, Smallville was pretty hard hit. Now get out of there before someone sees us," Ororo instructed him.
"Spoil sport." Logan said grumpily as he got out of the lake. "How do you know so much about the meteor shower any way?" Logan asked her.
"Mrs. Kent gets to talking while she's in her garden." Ororo said with a smile as they walked off of the bridge. Walking to the truck Logan started looking around suspiciously. "What's wrong Logan?" Ororo asked him noticing his behaviors.
"Someone's here." He said softly, "We should leave before they see us." Ororo nodded and they got into the truck and drove away.
In The Woods by the Lake
Mystique had been in the library all day looking up the history of Smallville looking for places where any of the strange occurrences had happened. She had found that one of the most bizarre cases had happened at a retirement home, where apparently there were a lot of meteor rocks around. The meteors were just the start of the plan that Magneto had come up with. She had gone to the lake in Cory's form; if any one asked her any questions she already had a cover story. What surprised her when she got to the lake was that she was not alone. There she saw two of her worst enemy's: Storm and Wolverine, they also had gotten a meteor rock. What were they doing here? Why were they there? There was only one answer, they had found out about the plan. Mystique grabbed her cell phone and made a call. The person on the other end picked up. She told them one thing and that was all that was needed.
"We have company." She told them, Mystique waited and listened to the instructions given her as she watched the truck containing the other two mutants drive away. She would need to find where they were staying. This put a whole new twist in their plans.
Ok that was Chapter 17. I hoped you all enjoyed it; it was a bit hard to write because this was a chapter that I didn't know where it was going. I have changed reviewer settings once again, so every one can review. Until next chapter, bye. Oh by the way, what exactly happened at the end of the series finale, I'm very confused, why did it have to be a cliff hanger? I don't think I can wait till September. Sorry I'm ranting I'll go now.
