AN: I never expected to take this direction with this fic. I hope you enjoy. Sorry about the MJ bashing.
Please R&R. This Phoebe and Chris centric chappy will shed some light on the world Chris comes from and maybe a little on the mystery of Clark Kent.
Chapter 6
Phoebe sat in the back of Clark's pick up laughing and talking with all of them. They seemed like great kids. Despite the fact that they didn't make her feel ancient for having been born in the 1970's they were still kids. She had to remind herself that she had been out of high school for over ten years and she was glad about that but a part of her wanted to go back. She wanted this experince and not her juvenile deliquient experice. She wished she had friends like these in high school instead the tough crowd she had run with.
Pete was telling a very dirty joke both she and Clark blushed at the punch line but Chloe seemed unfazed. Lana wasn't even paying attention. Phoebe sensed that Lana was trying to sort out her feelings because she was being hit with all these waring emotions aside from that she was having a great time until her cell phone rang. She knew it was either Elise her editor or her sister Piper.
"Hello." She said.
"Phoebe, where in the hell are you?" Piper screamed in her ear.
"Kansas." Phoebe told her.
"What! I take it that you're with Chris. " Piper said.
"Yeah you know that charity benifit Lex Luthor is throwing in Metropolis that I sort have got invited to? "Phoebe asked.
"Yes I remember you saying you weren't going. You also said that you weren't going to sleep with that snotty nose rich boy." Piper said. "
The last part is true. Lex is not that snotty nose rich boy anymore. He's different.And by the way he's not after me."Phoebe said.
"Intriuging." Piper said sarcastically.
"It is." Phoebe said.
"It had better not be my son. I know about men like Lex they want it all." Piper said.
"What?"Phoebe asked.
"You heard me he'd better not even think about Chris. I know about him I've read the Inquistor before.I've seen the things people say he's done." Piper said.
"Those are just rumors it's not like he's Michael Jackson. Chris is a big boy he can stop Lex if he starts anything and I don't think he will." Phoebe said.
"Speaking of Chris where is he?" Piper asked. "
He's busy now but I'll having him call later to check in." Phoebe said.
"So whats he doing? "Piper asked.
"Making out with his new boyfriend." Phoebe said.
Piper gasped.
"It was a joke. You should remember humor you're older than me." Phoebe said.
"That was not funny it was a low blow." Piper said.
"Well I've gotta go." Phoebe said and then she hung up.
When she did she saw that Lana was looking at her.
"Was that your mom?" She asked.
"No. She just thinks she's my mom."Phoebe said.
"Oh. "Lana said.
"I like your brother. He's pretty cool." Lana said.
"He's a really good guy even though he's had it rough. There's so much he keeps hidden even from me. "Phoebe said.
Her mood had grown serious when she started to think about Chris. She didn't know much about his life in the future just that he's always gotten the short end of the stick.
Phoebe caught Clark staring at her. He blushed and looked away. She could feel what he felt. He was drawn to her and she was to him. Phoebe nervously ran her hand through her short hair. She decided to change the subject before things got intense. She took another sip of her Diet Coke.
"Lana, how did you and Chris manage to find Chloe.
"We saw the same green smoke that had been coming out of the car coming out of one of the windows. The door was open I walked in and Little J , he's the leader of the roughest gang in Smallville, pulled a gun on me."
"Chris came in told him to put the down. He didn't and another guy pointed a gun at Chris. But Chris waved his hand and the guy hit the wall and then I beat up Little J and this other guy while Chris got Chloe." Lana explained quickly.
Phoebe nodded. She couldn't belive Chris had used his powers in front of her and that a tiny girl like Lana took down some big gangster let alone two big gangsters. But she got a sense that Lana was different too.
Chloe had said something earlier when they first met that nothing is ever what it seems in Smallville and she was right. She knew something was going on up front with Chris and Lex. But she was more concerned about Clark he seemed more lonely than she was. Since Jason had found out about her he had run screaming away from her literally.
She missed being intmate with a guy. She knew she shouldn't check out Clark or notice how gorgeous he was how big his shoulders were and how nicely he was built.
She also tryed (failed) to not let him catch her staring at him. But he did and he smiled back and she couldn't help thinking how sexy his mouth was. She wanted him. And suddenly a wave of desire swept over her and before she could surpress it she had launched her self on him and she was kissing him.
She easily pinned him up against the side of the truck and he was not protesting he was kissing back. Phoebe was aware of the noise that the other three were making the shouts of encouragement from Pete and the chorus of encoraging shrieks from Lana and Chloe.
When Phoebe managed to pry herself from Clark realizing what a mistake it was to kiss him. And that it would be and even bigger mistake if she had allowed her hand to snake into his jeans like it had wanted.
"You kissed me. "Clark said breathlessly.
"Yeah. I'm sorry about that." Phoebe said.
"It was a great kiss I'm sorry you stopped." Clark said. Phoebe knew he was sincere.
She really needed to get a handle on her empathy.
The world didn't need a horny empath making out with teenage boys.
It had Michael Jackson for that.
She glanced down at Clarks jeans and saw that he was excited and he made no attempt to hide. 'To be a teenager again' Phoebe thought.
She remembered she had had a premonition when she kissed Clark but she couldn't remember what it was. Kissing Clark had been so intense and so wrong.
She knew it was wrong and these lusty feelings she felt weren't her own. They were his and they were hella strong from years of obvious self abuse and sexual repression.
She had sensed those when she first arrived and now they were completly fixed on her instead of Lana. And Lana's romantic hopes for Clark were dispating by the minute while she pondered the mystery of Chris.
Finally the truck came to a stop in front of the Talon. Lex and Chris got out as did Pete, Chloe and Lana. Clark helped Phoebe down holding her by the waist and lifting her high into the air as if she weighed nothing. The way he looked at her like she was some treasure that he discovered a new toy.
Chris didn't like the way Clark was looking at his aunt. He didn't like the feelings he was starting have. He felt dirty. He was thankful he'd cloaked his feelings with that potion he didn't want anyone especially Phoebe to know how he felt.
At least the Lex Luthor in this time didn't phscially abuse him for not taking him up on a perverted offer like the Lex from his time. When Wyatt came to power he wasn't allowed to come any where near Metropolis Lex was mayor at the time and he had a team of powerful witches and sorcerers construct a barrier to keep Wyatt out.
Chris would often orb there to escape his brother. The first time he was offered asylum the second time Lex practically raped him. He orbed away before it go to serious. He still had the worst black eye ever but the next time he hid out in Metropolis he didn't let Lex find him. In the future he was always running from something and into something else and getting knocked on his ass. He was not going to let that happen now.
He looked over at Phoebe and Clark who were gazing at each other while everyone else was discussing Chloe's dramatic rescue. It wasn't that he didn't like Clark it was just that even though they had a fantastic connection Chris knew it wouldn't last eventually Phoebe would have to return home to her sisters and her life and Clark would have to go chase down his destiny and become some lame ass reporter who wore the same black suit like every freaking time you saw him and hang out with that Lois chick.
She was one tough broad. She had saved Chris once from Wyatt's spies in Metropolis. He figured he'd ask about her he'd like to know what she was like in this time.
Once there was a break in the conversation he asked, "Hey Clark where's Lois ?" Clark looked at him confused.
"Lois? Who is Lois? " Clark asked.
"Oh. You haven't met her yet have you? Lois Lane. Ummm...she's your partner at the Daily -" Chris stopped because Phoebe clamped her hand over his mouth.
Everyone was staring at him the way they had at Phoebe earlier. He guessed he'd really messed up.
"You know Lois? "Chloe asked.
Phoebe removed her hand.
"Lie future boy lie. "Phoebe told him in a low whisper.
"Yeah." Chris said.
" OMG! That's my cousin." Chloe exclaimed.
Chris was shocked he didn't think the two of them were even remotley alike let alone have similar DNA.
"You must have been the guy she was raving about from that Karate camp she went to in Los Angeles." Chloe said.
Chris nodded dumbly.
