Summary: The Dead Zone and Smallville Crossover. Johnny Smith is struck with a vision that leads him to Smallville, Kansas to learn more about the Meteor Fall that occurred nearly two decades ago.

Chapter 1: The Road Ahead

In route towards Smallville, Kansas, the driver looked over to his companion friend. "So what are we suppose to be looking for here?"

"I don't know"

"What do you mean, you don't know? Don't tell me we drove halfway across the country and you don't even know what we're looking for"

The man in the passenger seat simply stared out into the grassy plains as he held a green rock in his hands.

Flashback 24 hours earlier

At a grade school science exhibit

"Hey JJ," he called out to his son. "Come here, I've got something to show you"


"K, Johnny," the young boy replied enthusiastically.

Johnny bent down, "Take a look at that," he pointed to a green shaped rock on display.

"What is it?"


"It's a piece of rock from a meteor," he answered, the science geek in him ready to come out.

"What's a meteor," the boy asked curiously.

"It's like a falling star. When the rock comes down from the sky, it heats up so much that a bright trail appears when it falls"


"Cool"


He smiled. "Yeah"


"Can I hold it?"


Johnny looked towards the tour owner and points to the rock, silently communicating if he could perhaps hold it.

The owner nods an okay.

Picking it up, a sudden vision of a meteor hitting a Welcome sign grappled him at full force.

"Johnny, are you okay?" his son pulled at his jacket.

Johnny felt himself fall back to his reality, and hurriedly put the rock back in its place. He took a step away and inhaled deeply.

"Yeah," he says almost breathless. "I'm okay"

Back to present day…

"Come on, man. Aren't you at least going to tell me what you saw?"

"I'm not quite sure myself. It happened so fast," he says as they passed the Welcome to Smallville sign. He took another look at the green rock in his hand, "… but whatever it is, it means something"

To be continued…

Author's Note: What'd you think? This is something I've wanted to read about for quite some time, but nobody would take it. LOL! So, I decided to do it myself and hope I don't screw up for anyone who's a Dead Zone fan. And in case you're wondering, Lois is a part of this story; just give me some time to see how I'm going to incorporate her.

FYI: A brief history on The Dead Zone: Johnny Smith had everything. A great job, a loving parent, a smart and beautiful fiancée until one night, there was a storm and Johnny was in a near fatal car accident that left him in a coma for six long years. When he awoke, he found out he has the ability to see into the past, present and future whenever he goes into direct contact with an object. Some times, it's referred to as Extra Sensory Perception. His fiancée married to another man, and raising his son. It wasn't until the third season where little JJ was told the truth that Johnny was his real father.
