Chapter 17

Chris detangled himself from Lex.

He looked up shyly at the billionaire, "I don't know what came over me."

"Chris, it's perfectly alright. In a few minutes I think it would have been fantastic." Lex said.

Chris blushed.

"I've never been with a guy before."

"The question is Chris, do you want to." Lex said.

Chris hated cold logic, unless he was the one presenting it of course. Though it didn't do much good to present cold logic to his charges, they were going to do whatever the felt like anyways.

Chris nodded biting his lip.

"You're so sexy." Lex said.

"You're pretty hot yourself."

"Damn it! What about Lana?" Lex asked.

"What about her she won't give two shits about us hooking up if she's allowed to watch." Chris said.

"What about your sister?"

"What?" Chris asked confused.

Last time he checked his sister was still in the future.

"Phoebe?"

"Oh…yeah…Phoebe…" Chris said.

Chris knew that Phoebe was going to give him the old I told ya so when she got a chance.

"Don't worry about her; I think she saw this coming." Chris said.

"Her foresight is amazing isn't it?" Lex said.

Chris eyed the older man suspiciously.

"Well, she reads people really well and giving romantic advice is what she does."

"Are you sure it doesn't come from the fact that she's an empath?" Lex asked.

Chris stared at Lex gaping for a few minutes and then he pulled himself together.

"Yes, I've known for a while."

"You've known what for a while?"

"That Phoebe and her sisters are witches. And from what I gather you are one too." Lex said.

"Ummm… I don't know what you're talking about."

"Come on Chris get off it. I've seen some damn funny things the over the past twenty four hours."

Chris sighed.

"Actually, I am a Witchlighter." Chris said pointedly.

"Witchlighter, that's a fairly new concept,"

"I am a the son of a witch and a Whitelighter, hence the term Witchlighter." Chris said.

"Whitelighter?"

"And I thought you did you homework," Chris snarked.

Lex gave him a look.

"A Whitelighter is a guardian angel type that guides and protects witches."

"Oh, okay."

"I'm one of three Witchlighters in existence. Technically speaking I don't exactly 'exist' yet." Chris admitted shyly.

"What?"

"I haven't actually been born, I'm from the future." Chris said.

Lex was staring at him in shocked silence.

"I thought you should know everything and then decide to get involved with me." Chris said.

"Time travel is possible?"

Chris nodded.

"With the help of a really good spell and of course some physics anything is possible."

"I'll keep that in mind."

Chris smirked.

"So are you okay with me. With who I am?" Chris asked.

"Why wouldn't I be? I just wish other people would be honest with me."

"Are you talking about Clark and Lana?"

"Who else would I be talking about? I've known Clark was different since the day we met, but Lana has been acting really weird over the last year or so."

"Well, I suppose they'll tell you when they're ready. And just because you call them on it doesn't mean that they'll be straight with you. They need time being different isn't easy." Chris said.

"I know that better that anyone. I don't have super powers or anything like that but I know what's like to be different."

"It's not easy especially not when you're in high school. Give them some time, they'll come around." Chris said.

"Thanks for the advice." Lex said.

"You're welcome, now can we get back to the kissing?" Chris asked.

"My pleasure," Lex said.

Chris put his arms around Lex's shoulders and kissed him again.

Lex wrapped his arms around Chris determined to make them closer.

Phoebe, Lana and Chloe were just leaving Samantha's when Phoebe collided with a girl with light brown hair.

"Excuse me," The girl called walking into the store just as Chloe stumbled out behind Lana.

"Lois!" Chloe screamed.

"Chloe! What are you doing up here?" Lois asked hugging the shorter girl.

"Drinking and shopping, two of my favoritest things." Chloe slurred.

Phoebe turned around regretting buying the two younger girls alcohol.

"You're Lois Lane," Phoebe said.

"Yeah," the girl said.

Lois couldn't have been much older than Chloe but she seemed much older.

"Lois do you know who that is. She's Phoebe Halliwell. A real reporter from The San Francisco Bay Mirror." Chloe said.

"I saw you on TV a couple of months ago. You give advice on relationships right?"

"Yep that's me." Phoebe said.

"That's cool, so you're here for Lex Luthor's charity thingamabob."

"Yeah are you going?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah my dad is making me go. I've gotta wear dress and everything." Lois said.

"Samantha's got some cute stuff in for Spring." Lana said.

"Just as long as I don't have to wear anything pink." Lois said.

"I saw a cute gold satin dress with a plunging neckline." Phoebe said.

"Gold, I like gold. Was it sparkly? I don't do sparkly." Lois said.

"No it was skin tight though." Lana said.

"I can swing that. Where are you guys heading now?" Lois asked.

"We're on the hunt for jewelry." Phoebe said.

"Let me run in here and grab that dress in a size 6 and I'll come with."

"You aren't gonna try it on?" Phoebe asked.

"It'll be fine." Lois said.

"You should at least try it on we have plenty of time before the show starts." Lana said.

"Alright. Just so I want have to take the damn thing back and get a new one," Lois grouched.

Phoebe chuckled. Lois shopping for clothes reminded her of a few weeks prior when she'd went shopping for maternity clothes with Piper.

Phoebe followed Lana and Lois back into the store.

Lana felt a kindredness upon meeting Lois. She couldn't exactly put her finger on what it was but it was very familiar.

"What show?" Lois asked once they were inside the store.

"On Air with Ryan Seacrest." Lana told him.

"That man wears more product in his hair than I do." Lois exclaimed.

"Ain't it the truth." Lana said.

"I didn't quite catch your name," Lois said.

"Lana, Lana Lang."

"Nice to meet you." Lois said shaking Lana's hand.

"You're the first girl she shaken hands with that hasn't winced afterwards," Slightly buzzed Chloe observed.

"Yeah you didn't even wince; you have a firm handshake yourself." Lois said.

"Well, it comes from all the years of lifting coffee trays." Lana lied.

Lois grabbed the dress off the rack and disappeared into the dressing room.

She returned rather quickly awkwardly wearing the form fitting gold strapless dress.

It fit her tight around the hips, thighs and it flared out around her knees.

"I feel like a freaking lounge singer, but I do like the color," Lois told the sales girl.

"Got anything in I don't know a darker color?" Lois asked.

The sales girl went over to a rack and handed Lois a fire engine red, tango kind of dress."

"I think I'll make an exception this time." Lois said taking the dress from the sales girl and disappearing in the dressing room once again.

She returned wearing tight fitting low cut dress. It hung down to her calves in places and it had ruffles that traveled up revealing her knees.

"This is the one." Lois declared.

Chloe laughed.

"Does it have a place to hide your pepper spray?"

Lois twirled around making the dress flare up, and narrowed her eyes at her cousin.

Lana laughed.

"You know, I think it looks great." Phoebe said.

"Do you think I could wear boots with this?" Lois asked.

All three of them shook their heads.

"No? What about sneakers then?"

"No!" all three of the shouted.

"Fine."

"We'll just stop by the shoe dept. we're heading that way anyways." Lana said.

"Okay. I'll take it." Lois said handing the sales girl her credit card.

The event was going to certainly be interesting with Lois around.

The group met up thirty minutes later. Chris did his best to hide the hickey Lex had made on his neck with the collar of his shirt, the older man apologized profusely. But Chris assured him that it was all good. Very good as a matter of fact.

"I'm truly surprised the girls are actually on time." Clark remarked.

"Me too, seems like they've added to their number." Lex said.

"Well, at least now we've got an even number." Pete said.

"Not technically, Simon makes it odd again." Clark said.

"Actually Mr. Kent I've got a lot of filing to do back at the office." Simon put in.

"Yeah whatever Farnsworth." Pete said.

"Hi guys." Phoebe said grinning as she walked up to the guys, with the other three girls following closely.

"Guys," Chloe started, "I would like you to meet my cousin Lois Lane. Lois these are the guys."

"Clark is the tall one, Lex is the bald one, Chris is the loud one and Pete is my boyfriend."

"Hi,"

"It's nice to see you again Miss Lane," Lex said flashing Lois a smile.

Chris rolled his eyes.

"Nice seeing you too Lex. By the way how is that shoulder feeling?" Lois asked with a cheeky grin.

Chris could almost swear Lex was blushing.

"It's fine." Lex said.

Chris looked at Lex suspiciously.

"Her dad brought her over to my house last week and they made us fence." Lex explained.

"You're leaving out the part where I kicked your ass." Lois said.

Chris smirked. She was still the same Lois he knew from before, only younger and with frosted hair.

"You do that a lot don't you kick a guy's ass and then remind him of it every chance you get." Chris said.

"Well, that's the beauty of it. What's it to you anyways?" Lois said.

"Oh that's Chris, he said he knew you from karate camp or something you went to last year." Chloe explained.

Lois looked at him narrowing her brown eyes into slits, "Oh yeah, now I remember, you were that guy who never stopped talking."

Chris knew she was lying, but he nodded anyways. "I have a lot to say."

Lois laughed, "I bet you do, since we're on the subject of camp I need to ask you something over there." Lois said.

"I'm actually–"

Lois ignored Chris protests and yanked him by the arm.

"I'll have Simon have someone put this stuff in the cars. You guys go talk they'll save you guys some seats. I've got to go to hair and make up." Lex said.

"But–"

Chris tried to protest again but the Slayer drug him away from the group.

She slammed him into the door of the women's restroom pushed it open and shoved him inside.

Fortunately, no one was inside.

"I didn't go to Karate camp last summer and I have no idea who you are." Lois said.

Lois pulled out a small athame from her boot, "You've got five seconds to talk before I slice and dice."

Chris sighed, "Are Slayers the same?"

Lois' eyes widened when he said the S-word, he realized he'd really stepped in it this time when she lunged at him with the athame.

He grabbed her wrist but she swung at him with her free hand. He managed to block that blow and the kick she tried to deliver to his solar plexus.

Chris knew various forms of martial arts, some he picked up from his Aunt Phoebe and the rest he learned in his early days in the resistance.

He was able to block all of her blows, but the Slayer strength gave her a large advantage over him.

"We could do this dance all day, would you like to know how I know you're a Slayer?"

"First of all that is the most cliché thing I've ever heard. Secondly, we aren't dancing and third, I don't care what's one more dead demon in the grand scheme of things?"

"Okay," Chris said blocking another well placed kick.

"I am not a demon, far from it actually. It hurts me that you would assume such a thing." Chris said mockingly.

"This game of yours is getting tired."

Chris laughed, "Oh come on Lois admit it you love mysteries."

"You are not a mystery you're just some annoying demon friend of Lex's."

"Okay, I am SO tired of you saying that I'm a demon. I'm a freaking angel. Well, half angel to be exact."

"Yeah right." Lois said.

They were still trading blows actually she was trying to hit him and he kept blocking her.

Chris got tired of it after a few more minutes, his mother had made him swear once that he would never hit a girl unless she was out to kill him.

Lois was out to kill him but he just didn't feel right hitting her so instead he used his TK and sent her flying into a wall.

"I told you, I am not a demon I am a Witchlighter, part witch and part Whitelighter." Chris explained.

"So you're not a demon?" Lois asked picking herself up off the floor.

"NO!"

"You don't have to yell, I'm standing right here." Lois grouched.

"How do you know me anyways?" she asked the indignant look still on her face.

"I know you from the future." He replied simply as if time travel was a normal occurrence.

"Oh, like I'm gonna buy that. Did Buffy put you up to this?"

"No, I've never met Buffy. I've only heard stories about her." Chris said.

"I'm being Punk'd right? Aston Kutcher is gonna barge through that door any second." Lois said.

"You're not being Punk'd. I know you and Clark from the future, you guys work at the Daily Planet in Metropolis. It's ironic because you saved my life once and now you're trying to kill me."

"You must have me confused with Chloe, I'm no reporter. And who's Clark anyways."

"He's that tall guy that had on all that flannel."

"Okay. I'm not saying I believe you but I'm just saying I'm not going to stab you in the heart with something pointy just yet." Lois said sheathing the athame.

"Like you could even touch me with that thing, in this time anyways. You haven't been a Slayer long. I've had my powers all my life." Chris said.

"Oh, I was holding back on ya Future boy. Didn't want to mess up that pretty face you're yours Lex wouldn't like that very much, you being his new boy toy and all." Lois said with a smirk.

"Don't worry, you'll be most valuable Slayer one day Lois,"

"Shut up," Lois said pushing open the bathroom door.

"Wow this is like old times." Chris said happily.

"They're new to me." Lois responded dryly.

They made their way back over to where the group had found seats in the studio audience. The set was complete and so colorful, looking at the guest couches hurt Chris' eyes.

Chris climbed up the steps to where the group had taken refuge in the middle row of the studio audience. Clark and Phoebe were flirting. Chloe was talking to a grip over in the corner and Pete was keeping her out of trouble. Lana had saved them each a seat.

"I was wondering when you guys would get back," Lana smiled warmly.

"Yeah we were just talking about old times." Chris said.

"Yep, old times." Lois said rolling her eyes.

"I'm so excited Lex managed to get us into the studio audience, this place is already starting to fill up." Clark said from his end of the row.

Chloe and Pete were finally coming to sit down with them before someone took their seats. It was almost time for the show to start, Chris was slightly giddy about seeing the show himself it had been so long since he'd been to a concert or anything.

He'd seen a couple of bands play a show or two at P3 but he hadn't really taken time to listen. Dressing up and going out tonight would be fun too, he never went to any dances or events and stuff in the future with all the dying and the destruction going on. He was actually looking forward to a normal evening. He should have known better.
