Hi everyone, I got some brief inspiration for "The Other Story", however it
didn't last long so I'm on to the next chapter. Isn't summer supposed to
be when you have free time, well I have free time I just spend it reading,
and playing the Sims. I'm going to have to stop doing that. (Sigh) Thanks
to everyone who reviewed. Now for chapter nineteen. I do not own
Smallville or the X-Men, I only own the character of Cory and the idea of
course, oh and I own the story of course. Ok you can read the story now;
I'm finished blabbering.
Smallville
Clark drove as fast as the truck would allow, he knew that he could get home faster himself even if he was carrying Bobby. However Bobby wasn't hurt as badly as Clark had first thought seeing him being beat up-or what ever that kid was doing to Bobby. Turning into the driveway Clark let up on the gas pedal and started to break, for the first time since he had gotten into the truck. Clark noticed that Scott's Motorcycle was by the house, the meeting had begun without them. He quickly turned off the engine and he and Bobby rushed out and into the house.
In the house everyone was talking about the days events when they heard a truck pull up into the driveway. Jonathan had gotten up to go and see if it was Clark and Bobby, after a quick conformation they all had relaxed, but not for long. Clark and Bobby rushed into the house. Ororo had half expected them to apologize for being late, but instead they started talking at once with no one being able to understand a word that they had said.
"Slow down, now Bobby you start, Clark sit down somewhere." Ororo ordered the boys, Clark looked around there was only one spot open and that was by Logan. Clark sighed; their relationship was still a bit rocky, he could tell the Logan still didn't fully trust him. Sitting down on one of the kitchen chairs that had been brought in to the living room, Clark sat and listened as Bobby slowly told his part of the story from working with Chloe late to getting a late night cup of coffee to being suddenly attacked in the park. As Bobby described the feelings of being ripped apart from the inside, everyone in the room cringed, even Clark who had seen it with his own eyes. That's when Clark spoke up. He started to tell his story of how he had heard someone in pain, and took the other kid out. And that they had decided not to go after him because they didn't know what he could do to Clark.
"I think that this is the kid that were on the look for, knowing what the ability feels like, maybe the Professor will be able to figure out what it is." Bobby told the group.
"I was thinking the same thing, he must be from the Brotherhood if he knew about Bobby being Ice Man." Ororo thin addressed a very worried looking Clark, "Clark you were right not to follow him we need to know more. I will contact the Professor at the end of our meeting. "Scott what have you found out so far?" She asked.
"Not much, I was able to get a job at a mechanics in town, I should be able to pass off as normal since most of the work is done outside. I did get a few strange looks and I think Lana at the Coffee shop thought she recognized me but I have no idea how." This last comment got Clark's interest of course. He was about to say something until Bobby cut in first.
"Wait a second Lana owns the Talon, right?" Bobby asked Clark.
"Yes she does." Clark told Bobby, he had already told everyone this at the debriefing the other day.
"Well the kid who attacked me had been in the Talon, so maybe Lana knows a bit more about him then we do." Bobby said getting to the point.
"Your right, I'll talk with her tomorrow, I'll find out some way to bring him up with out getting her on my back. She and Chloe are already asking more questions." Clark explained to the group.
"Well if that's all, Logan and I were able to get some meteor rocks which are now in your storage shed Clark so don't go in there." Clark nodded, knowing that meteor rocks were on the grounds made him cringe. "Everyone's dismissed for now I have to make a phone call." Everyone started to leave; Clark went up stairs to do what homework he could, Bobby got the same idea. Logan and Jonathan started talking about which sports teams were better, and Scott helped Martha put away the remnants of the night's dishes. Ororo dialed the number to the mansion the rings echoed in her ear as she waited for it to be picked up.
New York
The phone rang several times before Professor Xavier was able to get it, a wheel chair could do that to a person, not make them as fast to get to a phone that is.
"Hello," he said into the phone he knew it could only be a few people calling him, and he certainly knew if they were calling him on his personal line it was important.
"Yes, Professor Xavier, its Ororo," she said identifying herself, Charles Xavier smiled to himself he had been waiting for this call, a sigh of relief escaped him, they were safe, and they had information he could go on.
"Its good to hear from you, I trust everyone is alright?" He asked her.
"Yes sir, everyone is fine for now, but Bobby was attacked to night, we think it's the new mutant that we are on the look for." Ororo then went on to explain what had happened and Bobby's own description of what had happened and how he had felt.
"I see, this is what I want you to do, stay under cover for as long as possible, make sure Bobby and Clark try to avoid this boy. Have Clark do as he plans in asking one of his friends about him. Until something new happens I suggest that you don't all get together, it might seem too suspicious." Professor Xavier told Ororo.
"I understand sir, Good Night." Ororo said and turned off her cell phone. In New York Professor Xavier hung up his phone and went out of his office. In the hallways he watched as the students were leaving the common area. The older ones, especially Rogue had been watching the TV a lot recently looking for clues as to where the other Professors and Bobby had gone. Charles knew that they were all worried, but he just couldn't risk telling any of them where the others were right now. Not with things becoming more dangerous everyday. Charles wheeled himself to Cerebro, entering it he cleared his mind and got to business. He now knew what the boy looked like, and what his ability felt like. It was more likely now that he could find what his exact ability was, and more important who he was, and perhaps what he knew. That however was very unlikely for know. Charles sighed and slipped Cerebro on and let his mind go into his search for the new mutant boy.
Back in Smallville Ororo gathered everyone once again and told them of the Professors instructions. Everyone agreed to the plan and Scott left for his apartment, Jonathan and Martha went upstairs to their room to talk about the days events, and what was going on in their lives, it was just a bit weird for them. Ororo and Logan stayed in the living room to plan their next day, as Bobby and Clark slowly went outside, saying that they needed a walk. In fact all they walked to was Clark's sanctuary in the barn.
"It's certainly been one strange day." Bobby said to Clark.
"That I can agree with." Clark smiled; sitting down by his telescope as usual as Bobby went to sit on one of the couches that Clark had up in the loft. After some uncomfortable silence Bobby spoke up.
"Hey Clark, I'm not sure if in all the rush to get back I said thanks for saving my life back there, so Thanks." Bobby confessed.
"Yeah, sure anytime." Clark weakly said. He went up to his telescope and found the familiar empty spot in the sky.
"So you like star gazing?" Bobby asked trying to fill the silence; he had gone with Clark because he felt a need to try and like the guy since he had saved his life.
"Yeah, its kind of a hobby of mine you could say." Clark said without turning away, wondering what it was like up there among the stars.
"A hobby? I guess I've never really had any time for a hobby, we spend a lot of time at the school studying, and just trying to fit in." Bobby confessed. Clark just nodded his head, this wasn't going so well Bobby thought, maybe it was just time to leave, he had to do homework any way. "Well I guess I better go in, lots of homework, you know your teachers are really tough, first day and I already have more then I ever had in one day at the Xavier's." Clark laughed at this comment, the teachers could be tough sometimes, but he could usually go right through it pretty quickly, except for the papers, he always had trouble with those. Bobby started on his way down the steps when he heard a car pull up, he glanced back up, Clark hadn't noticed it, he was too into his telescope at the moment. Bobby dismissed the car as probably being Scott's coming back. He was wrong, rounding the corner walking out he bumped into some one head one, losing his balance and falling back, as did the other person. Bobby slowly got up rubbing his head; it had been a long day. The other person got up, a girl with what looked like blonde hair, in the dark he couldn't tell who it was, but he was standing in the light, and she noticed him.
"Bobby? What in the world are you doing her?" Chloe Sullivan asked. She had come by to see Clark, to try and talk with him more; it had been such a long time since they had been able to talk to him alone. She was more the just surprised to see Bobby, she was stunned. Bobby started stuttering not knowing what to say, he had been discovered, how could he explain this; it wasn't like it fit into the plan of him not knowing Clark.
"Um...." He started to say Chloe just stared at him and suddenly rushed up the stairs to Clark's lair leaving Bobby in her dust. Bobby rushed after her not knowing what else to do, and all he could think was now Clark would have to deal with her.
"Clark Kent you're gone for weeks, and now I find someone here, who I thought wasn't supposed to be here, now tell me what is going on." Chloe demanded, at the sound of Chloe's voice Clark came to attention and just stared at his friend. What was he going to say, the same thoughts that had previously gone through Bobby's mind only moments earlier were now going through his. What in the world was he going to say, the cover story had been blown, he should have suspected the Chloe would come by.
Suddenly Ororo and Logan rushed in, having heard the car pulling up they had thought that it was just Scott but when they had heard yelling they had ran to the barn. Chloe heard them come in and spun around seeing now who was all in the barn. Who were these people? She asked herself, things were getting stranger and stranger by the moment.
"Clark I demand to know who these people are and what is going on here. I want some answers and you better have them." Chloe wasn't angry, it was in the confusion of not knowing why Bobby was at Clark's, clearly they both had cover stories, she was determined as ever to find out where Clark had been. Now she had him right where she wanted him. "Well Clark you better start talking, because I'm not leaving until you tell me what's going on." Clark just starred at her stunned, and confused, almost numb, trying to find words to say to explain. Chloe started to tap her foot and the floor as everyone became very quite. "Clark I'm waiting." Chloe stated.
Ok that is the 19th chapter, I know I have a cliffhanger, don't you love them. This was perhaps one of the easiest chapters for me to write once I got down to it, and its long too! Well longer then most. Thank you to Emily M. Hanson, I fixed the mistakes on this chapter and if I get the time I will do so on the rest of the chapters. As for Clark showing up on Cerebro it wasn't because of the X factor that Xavier noticed him, its because Clark's mind pattern was different from normal humans. I hope I cleared that up. Anyways that's it for now, adios.
