She does not know how things like this keep happen to her. One minute she was planning to go bag packing around the world with her friends before they started college.

Possibly Chloe, who had already left school and did online courses instead of going to college. They that lost contact for a while because of school and the fact that she had to lay low for a while because she kind of nearly burned down the school by a total accident with her heat vision because of the Pete Situation (but that did not matter right now and was something that she would never speak of again) but were in contact again after a little X-ray and using her hearing abilities to get a location on Chloe. Chloe had lost contact from the world because she had gotten herself into trouble again and was doing her best to try and dig her way out of it. Or she had found something really juicy and was obsessed with it and there was the chance she was creating something or something to do with computer stuff, stuff that she herself really did not understand at all.

But Chloe ended up having other plans that had come up and she did not want to get into that kind of trouble nor did she want to play bodyguard because if she played bodyguard then that meant that Chloe would get herself into more trouble because she would not have to worry about her own safety.

So that was a dud because Lana also did not want to get into trouble as well and she did not want to be caught in the middle of them two arguing. She swore the two of them liked arguing and bickering almost like they were like sisters or like an old married couple at times she swore that was what they were like. And she was sometimes their child and parent at the same time, which was one bug headache in all just thinking about it. It was her dream and she was not going to let anything get in her way and had completely forgotten about everything else before she got on that flight without any hesitation getting in her.

But that happen when growing up and becoming an adult you grow up and move on, things change and you change because of the circumstances in life. But she did not expect for it all to happen so fast and so sudden everything was moving so fast that she could hardly believe her eyes before her.

She had grown an inch or two in past year alone and so many things had happened that she could hardly believe that it really happened. Like the fact that she could now fly without being scared of what was below her or rather what was not below. And she was in complete control of her powers; well almost there were the little incidents that she might have with handshakes here and there.

Then there was that competition that they had all forgotten about.

Lana had entered her drawings and paintings into an art gallery in Metropolis. And some of people some special people had seen her work and she was offered a full ride and scholarship to work in Paris for the summer. Lana had taken it without hesitation because it was her dream come true to get out of Smallville and she had a first class ticket. It was PARIS after all and no one in their right mind would say " No " to something like that because it was a trip of a lifetime and a dream come true.

Somehow and for some reason and she did not know why but it happened, again. But she had managed to get herself yet another Internship for the summer holidays and the possibly it extending while she would be in college. So it would be like a part time job that she would be made much less in but getting more experience to work in a café pouring drinks and taking orders.

But not only then she was offered a full scholarship in Journalism in Metropolis which was completely shocking because she was not expecting this at all because she already had gotten a scholarship and she was going to Kansas State college. Where she could stay at home and live on the Farm while still doing some of the work that needed to be done. Her parents needed her help because they could not afford they to pay for at least five other hands to work on the Farm with all the work that she did.

So, she could not just leave them like that. Not just yet without her help or just like that without any plan or any money because they could lose the Farm if they did not have her help and they needed her help. The way the economy was working right now it did not look well in their favour or in hers, at all not one bit and that was not fair.

So, she was going to stay on the Farm because that was what was best for everyone. That was what she decided but fate had other plans for her instead that would put her choices differently and force her to make a different choice instead.

A more hair raising event more so than when she ran back to Kansas from her little meeting with Batman and almost Green Arrow because she kind of a team of Superheroes from the Future. Heroes that had

So there was the whole time travel thing where she went to the future and spent a couple for weeks there help them and the super villains and all. It was her first trip to the future and she was hoping that it would be her first and last because what she had seen and she had done and mostly because of the whole brain scrambler thing where part of her memory was erased so her memories could not and would not affect the future.

But one thing was for sure she knew that she was going to be a big time superhero and she was not afraid of heights anymore because she could fly in the sky. Well she was not afraid of falling anymore because she knew that it would not hurt her only fear was that she might hurt someone.

Point was….she was now in almost full control her powers that were starting to fully develop because she was getting stronger and fast almost every day and in more control than ever. With only the few incidents with the ball and the fact that it went into space, and some people thought that it was a shooting stars. They made wishes and she was hoping that they would all think that it was a shooting star because this was the third time in a month that it happened. But worse some people were starting to think that it was the end of the world because the sky was falling or rather the stars were falling. Or they were all about to be a hit by a giant asteroid and to be destroyed any second or it was aliens (which it was true, well it was the only one alien) and that they were being spied on. Some people were even thinking that it was alien spies or that the government was doing experiments to drive them all crazy.

And the last one did kind of sound kind of interesting and when it went round the rumour mill that everyone was spreading that was what everyone believed the most. It was just meant to be a joke that she was telling Pete and the next minute he is going around telling everyone and everyone believes it.

The Rumour Mill

"Sure just tell everyone that the Government is doing experiments on them trying to drive them mad to get their test results. And they have tried things like this before and it has worked because it was Loch Ness Monster and Roswell. Cos look at the people from Roswell sighting as drove a lot of people mad "

And the look on Pete's face looked like he was eating it up entirely and was actually thinking about it because it was just meant to be a joke.

" Nessie is real, Clark. But aliens getting caught that easy there is just no way has that happened and you are proof of that. I know you are just kidding, Clark but I think that you are onto something and something big because Roswell is so a conspiracy. But everyone had it wrong, barking up the wrong tree and looks like it worked. The military and government are probably doing this all the time against terrorist, drive them mad and all. Top secret and that is what is Are 52 " said Pete sounding insulted.

He had jumped to his feet before he had even said it. He rubbed his hands together and then clapped them giving the biggest grin like he was a child that just went down a slide and was going to go down it again and again.

"You can't be serious ! " she said astonished

" Oh I am serious alright and when I tell my followers about this it is going to blow their minds. This will drive them….." said Pete.

" Mad, crazy, wacky, lunatics, deranged, batty, off their rocker, mental , psychotic, conspiracy theorist, nutter, completely insane. I mean I could go one and you know what I will because there is far more words I could say like they could irrational and hunted you down and come here because that has happened before with that crazy girl – which is a word that I used by the way. That crazy girl thought that there were crop circles or something and then she saw that they were gone for the harvest. Yu know what she thought right that they were abducted that the crops were actually abducted or grown and we all had amnesia or something " she said rambling with her eyebrows raised.

And then she started to walk back and forward fast but not too fast that she could be seen.

" Wacky, unstable, unhinged are many words used to describe criminals in Gotham not to mention Batman himself. And you do not want to get his attention because he is…..INSANE, did I forget to mention the word 'insane' because this is what this is and what would my parents say. This would completely drive them over the edge and just when they were starting to comfort with things and….. No I am the one that is going insane because yet again Clark is on yet another psychopathic rant and referring to herself in another person " she was saying in a full panic mode.

But Pete did not seem to notice this.

"Clark, why did you mention Batman ? " said a curious Pete.

She stopped dead and it was basically written all over her face.

"You know who he is. Don't you Clark ! " said Pete sounding like a Detective.

He did not notice that she was awkwardly staring at the TV screen that was behind him right now with the news on. It was on mute and was probably the reason he did not notice her noticing this right now.

But what was on the News she could not believe it when it came up on the screen.

" Hey turn up that up " said Clark

BUZZ

And so was Pete's.

He turned the TV up both knowing that it would be Chloe and what she had to tell them.

TV

" This is Vicki Vale reporting from Starling City, in recent headlines you have read about the news of the actions of the murderous action of the man in the green hood known as 'The Hood'. Or some like to call him The Green Reaper "

She paused for a moment, listening to her earpiece to what she was being told.

" Amazing, it has just come in an Ladies and Gentleman you will hear it here first Green Arrow has been arrest by the police "

She was listening to what she was being told again.

" The arrest was made last night and we are just being told this by an anonymous source that the police have been aware of his civilian identity for quite some time. But this Reporter has now got the name of that man and even to this Reporter is quite shocking to hear and because I know him personally well "

She paused for a moment closing her eyes and lowering her head.

" The Hood is no one other than one of Gotham's own. He is known has philanthropist and playboy billionaire Bruce Wayne "

She stopped for a moment as a picture of 'Brucie Wayne' popped up on the screen.

" Bruce Wayne is a tragic story…"

It keeping going on and another picture popped up on the screen of a younger and more innocent version of him popped up on the screen and this time he was with parents.

TV

Pete switched the TV off.

" OMG " said Pete.

"OMFG " said Pete.

And he had completely forgotten what he was going to ask her.

She was doing her best not smile and holding her breath at the same time.

Boy was she good at holding her breath.

She wanted, no she needed to laugh because this was too hilarious to be real.

Yes it was true that he was a Vigilante. The police had made no mistake in their arrest for him taking the law into his own hands, also known as Vigilantism.

Oh she just could not believe this was happen that this was actually happening because it was all too hilarious to be real that she was almost in tears. This must be what someone must feel when someone was peeling an onion because her eyes were stinging trying to hold back the tears and laughter.

He was going to jail for the crime that he did commit. He was not actually being charged with the actual and genuine charges that he committed as Batman because of the whole mistaken identity thing, which was happening right now.

It was funny it really was but at the same time she knew that did not deserve these charges because of the type of person he was. Batman was a lot of things. He really was but one thing was for sure that she knew that he was not a murderer unlike the real the actual one.

This bothered her.

He had money and it was not the truth.

So, the truth would come out soon that he was not really Green Arrow.

She just wondered just how much truth would actually come out.

And this was bad for her as well because she actually knew who Green Arrow was and she might be made to testify to the fact that she knew. Expect…she would not because that would reveal the truth about his actual alter ego and he would still go to jail for that. So, it would not make much sense in her testifying because it would just make things much more complicated for everyone.

And the thought crossed her mind would she go to jail because she knew the truth and her family and friends would be in danger because of that.

This was horrible that she put in this position and was powerless to do anything about it even with all the powers that she had there was not a lot she could do about it right now. She barely ever felt powerless and the only comfort she had when she felt powerless was she never felt more human.

And the picture of a green Batman popped in her head.

"Hmm " she said aloud.

She stood rather emotionless for a moment.

" Well I better get going because got things to do because I still need to do my chores and ….BYE " she said.

And she was gone before Pete could say another word.
