Chapter Ten
"Would you care to explain how you made this so called serum?" Batman asked. The League all voiced an agreement.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you," Bruce said.
"We just got sent to an alternative reality where Shayera can hide her wings, Clark Kent is cool, and Lex Luthor is a nice man," Flash said, "I'd believe you if you told me you were God and your angels are Robin, Batgirl and Nightwing."
"I second that," Dove said, Bruce looked at Batman who shook his head in annoyance. "But did you just call Lex nice?"
"Man this is getting weirder and weirder," Booster Gold said. "What's next? Where gonna find J'onn working in the Daily Planet?"
"Maybe we should look for Diana next," Flash said. "We might find her in Australia, riding a kangaroo."
"Will you three be quiet?" Batman snapped. "Bruce what's in this serum?"
"Coke and whiskey, with a bit of peppermint" Bruce said. There was a silence, only thing heard was Julia's whistling, and Flash's coughing.
"You are kidding," Dove said.
"Nope," Bruce said.
"How on earth did that work?" Batman asked.
"Well," Bruce said, "It's my favourite drink."
"And when I was over, he asked me what I wanted to drink," Julia said, "I said that I'll take whatever he drank."
"I hate Coke," Shayera said.
"So do I," Julia said, she glared at Bruce. "But this idiot almost poisoned me."
"Whiskey isn't poisonous," Dove said, thinking she meant the Whiskey.
"Whiskey's the best drink," Hawk said.
"I'm talking about the coke!" Julia snapped, "It's awful, I mean who drinks acid?"
"What?" Flash cried, facing Shayera. "You don't like Coke!"
"Uh huh," Shayera sighed.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Flash asked, "I can't remember the amount of times I gave you Coke when I could have given you Sprite or Lift or Diet Coke instead."
"Why not Pepsi?" Booster Gold said sarcastically.
"You maybe in the League with Britney Spears and Drew Fuller," Flash said. "But Pepsi sucks. It's always Coca Cola Nana, na, nana, na, nanana."
"Shut UP!" Booster snapped. "That song sucks!"
"You suck," Bart snapped, coming to Flash's aide. "Coke rocks, Pepsi is for wimps and guys that were Spandex!"
"Dude," Flash said, "I wear Spandex."
"No," Bart said, "You're wearing a Leotard."
"You're a retard!" Flash snapped.
"I said LEO-tard dumbass,"
"Bite me,"
"Screw you!"
"Twerp!"
"Jackass!"
"Jerk!"
"Asswipe!"
"Will you two shut up?" Bruce and Batman barked.
"Grow the hell up!" Julia and Shayera yelled.
"Okay that's scary," Bart and Flash said.
"Stop that!" John said, glad there was only one of him. "Okay that was the strangest thing that's happened so far."
"Can I ask how a conversation about Julia's wings changed to Coke VS Pepsi and Spandex?" Black Canary asked.
"Well when you have two Flashes and a Booster Gold," Green Arrow sighed, "Distractions occur. I vote we kick them out of the room, while we discus things like adults."
"I second that motion," Bruce and Batman said.
"Stop doing that," Julia and Shayera said. Julia growled and slapped Shayera on the arm. Shayera slapped Julia back.
"We ain't leaving," Bart said, sitting on a couch, "Ya'll have to carry me out."
"That could be arranged," Wonderwoman said, picking the young man up. She carried him towards the door, which Hawk opened. Bart grinned at her as he stared at her chest.
"I ain't complaining," Bart grinned, Booster Gold and Flash followed eyeing Wonderwoman's butt while doing so.
"Perves," Julia muttered.
--------------------
"Hey Supes," Clark said, as he entered Lex's bedroom. Lex was still unconscious, lying in his bed; Superman was sitting at Lex's table staring at the computer's wall paper of a woman and a five year old boy.
"Hello," Superman smiled, "That's Lex isn't it?"
"Yeah," Clark grinned, he turned and faced the sleeping form and sighed, "How bad do you think his memory has been swiped?"
"I'm not sure," Superman answered, "Flash told me he didn't remember him, but he remembered Julia."
"That was only a month ago," Clark said, "It should be about seven weeks of memories gone."
"I think Flash and Julia got there in time to stop that," Superman said. "I'm glad she was there. Flash is capable of many things, but I know he could not have gone past all of them."
"I've been thinking," Clark said, thoughtfully, "Should I tell Lex about my powers?"
"Clark, what do you think you should do?" Kal-El asked.
"I don't know," Clark sighed, "I know I can trust him, but I'm more worried about his safety."
"Why?" Superman asked, "I'm sure he's capable of taking care of himself."
"He is," Clark said, "But what if his dad knows that Lex knows my secret? Lionel's been getting people to spy on me this year; he's had me investigated for ages. He might force it out of him. I don't want Lex to get hurt over this."
"I'm sure Luthor already told him, Clark," Superman sighed.
"So then what if some one else suspects something about me?" Clark said, "They might go after Lex. I can't be there to save him every time"
"You can try" Superman smiled. "You told me you and Lana, have had a few fights in the past year because you feel you can't trust her. You know you can trust Lex. Batman told me that Lex said, ever since he met you his been a different person; a better person. And I believe if you do tell him he'll stay on this road, and not become another pain in Superman's neck."
Clark laughed, "Clark Kent and Lex Luthor, has a nice ring to it, huh?"
"Yeah," Superman laughed, "In this world only."
"Actually," Clark muttered, "If Luthor's such a pain, why don't you just kill him?"
"I won't cross that line," Superman said. "Murder is wrong, no matter what you're killing."
Clark nodded in agreement. "Hey, who's your favourite out of the League?"
"All of them," Superman smiled, "I'll do any thing to protect them Clark."
"I'd do anything to my family and friends too," Clark smiled. "But seriously, who do you like to hang out with the most?"
"Well," Superman said, "If I'm up for some quite time; Batman. If I want my ear blown of; I go to Flash and Booster Gold. If I want a good conversation; I go to Diana or J'onn or Don. A good fight; Shayera, is my first choice and then Hawk, John and majority of the League."
"Is that a wedding ring?" Clark said, grabbing Superman's hand. He examined the plain ring around Superman's ring finger.
"Yeah," Superman smiled.
"Who'd you marry?"
"Ever heard of Lois Lane?"
------------
"Julia, do you think I could try that serum?" Shayera asked. Julia nodded and opened her bag. She pulled out a tiny brown vial and chucked it at Shayera. Shayera caught it with ease and opened it; she sniffed it and then brought it down to her mouth. "Here goes nothing."
"I should warn you-"Julia stopped as Shayera had already swallowed the drink. She fell to her knees as sharp pains swept through her back and thighs. Green Lantern ran up to her and dropped beside her. She groaned in pain as she felt her wings shrink down and disappear into her back. She stood up as Julia took another dosage. However Julia stood still and allowed her wings to retract in. "I should have warned you it hurts like hell the first time. The next times it doesn't."
"How do you get them out?" Shayera groaned.
"Arch your shoulder back fast," Julia said.
"Like this," Bruce said, bringing his arms back towards his backside. "They pop up instantly.
"And no pain either," Julia added. She turned to Shayera, "You think you and I can talk alone?"
"Sure," Shayera nodded, grabbing her mace. Julia did the same and followed Shayera out the room.
-------------
"Hey," Clark grinned, as Lex opened an eye. "You're awake?"
"Clark," Lex groaned, "I had the weirdest dream. Why am I in bed?"
"Your dad fried your head again," Clark sighed.
"What did I do know?" Lex sighed.
"You did nothing," Clark said, "It's a long story I'll explain soon, but first what was your dream."
Clark still was battling whether or not to tell Lex about his powers, so he decided to dawdle around.
--------------
"I don't believe they kicked us out," Booster snapped, as Shayera and Julia walked past.
"Hey Julie, Shayie, when can we go back in?" Flash asked.
"My name is Julia," Julia snarled, "Not Hawkgirl, not Shayera and certainly not Birdbrain!"
"But your name is Shayera," Booster Gold pointed out.
"It is," Julia said, "But in a minute your name is gonna change from Booster Gold, to Black-eye Gold."
"How come they didn't kick Dove out?" Bart asked. "He was yapping away as much as these two losers."
"Flash, give me on good reason not to beat him up," Booster Gold growled, rubbing his fist against his palm.
"I'll give you a reason to beat him up," Flash said, standing up and advancing on his younger self. Bart eeped and ran behind the two Thanagerians.
"Flash, leave him alone," Shayera barked, backhanding the fastest man alive. Bart stuck his tongue out and followed the two girls as they walked away from the angry heroes.
"Why are you following us?" Julia asked.
"Cause no one likes me," Bart said, shrugging. "And I have to keep my self safe."
"Flash likes you," Shayera said, wondering if the boy was serious. "So does Booster, they were merely playing with you."
"Nope they hate you," Julia said, in a devious voice, "Watch your back, Flash is a demon."
Bart laughed, "You two sound like the shoulder angels."
"The what?"
"You know how everyone has an angel and demon on their shoulders?"
"Oh," Shayera smiled, "But we have no wings, at least not now."
"I'm hungry," Bart said.
"Kitchen is in the lowest level, big white doors," Julia said, "Help your self."
Bart zoomed off. Shayera sighed, "There goes all the food."
"What do you mean?"
"Flash has a fast metabolism," Shayera said, as they entered her bedroom. "So how did you get to Earth?"
"Long story," Julia said, jumping onto the bed.
--------------
"It was weird, Clark," Lex said, "I remember this guy in red carrying me out, and I swore Julia was there behind him, with large wings behind her, like an angel. Then that guy handed me to this other man dressed in blue tights and a red cape. Then he flew! He actually lifted of the roof and flew us back here. I sound insane right?"
"No," Clark smiled, "I don't think it was a dream, Lex?"
"Clark," Lex sighed, "People don't fly."
"We live in Smallville Lex," Clark said. "There's something I have to tell you though."
"What is it?"
"It's about what happened in the past few days," Clark sighed, "A few days ago, I missed the bus and you drove me to school, but before we got there, there was a large explosion next in the field near us."
"And?"
"We found a group of superhuman people," Clark said, "Called the Justice League."
"What?" Lex said, shaking his head, frustrated, "Maybe it was wrong of my father to commit me to Belle Reve."
"Lex," Clark sighed, "I'm serious, that guy in the red, is the Flash, the guy in the cape was Superman! I can introduce you to them right now."
"So you're serious," Lex asked. "But why would my father-"
"Lex, there's something about me I need to tell you," Clark said, "It'll help explain things. But I need you to promise me something."
"What is it?"
"You won't tell any one who doesn't know about what I tell you," Clark said, "Please?"
"Okay," Lex said. "You're gonna tell me that big secret of yours aren't you?"
"Yeap," Clark said, nervously "Lex, I'm not from around here."
"I figured," Lex said, "I mean you're adopted."
"I mean in the bigger picture," Clark said. "I'm not from earth; I'm from a planet called Krypton."
Lex stared at Clark and laughed.
-------------
"Well I have all day," Shayera said, sitting on another bed.
"Well, after I left Thanagar," Julia said. "I escaped to this planet called Oa, where all these little midgets order around a group of people, human and not, with cool rings."
"You're kidding right?" Shayera asked, surprised at the new information.
"No," Julia said, "Any way, they called themselves the Green Lamps or something."
"Lanterns," Shayera smiled.
"Yeah," Julia said, "Two of them, needed to come to Earth for some reason, they didn't tell me and I didn't pry. Don't know what happened to them, they dropped me off in Gotham and I beat up some girl call Catwoman who tried to kill Bruce, who was Batman at the time."
"Who were the Lanterns?"
"Hal Jordan and John Stewart," Julia said. "I'm guessing the black guy in green is John Stewart huh?"
"Yes," Shayera answered. "Why did you leave Thanagar?"
Julia smirked evilly. Shayera grinned back uncertainly; she couldn't be that scary could she?
--------------
"Lex, I'm serious," Clark sighed, "My parents sent me to earth in the Meteor shower. My birth name is Kal-el. I could show you my powers if you want?"
"You have powers?" Lex asked.
"Yeah," Clark said, standing up, he looked around before bending near the large heavy king size bed. He placed two hands underneath the bed and lifted in over his head. Lex gasped in shock as Clark put the bed back down.
"How- how did- How?"
"I have Superhero strength," Clark said, "And a few other powers."
"What?" Lex gasped.
"I can see through things, I have heat vision," Clark said, "Super speed, invulnerability I think that's it."
Lex stared at Clark before fainting. Clark sighed, before covering Lex with the blanket. He sat down on the chair and watched Lex.
----------
"So," Shayera said, as Julia still smirked.
"I found out they where building some machine to destroy the Gordanian empire," Julia said, "That didn't bother me much, I hate those bastards."
"But," Shayera asked.
"If you're really me," Julia said, "You would know."
"They need to destroy a few planets while doing so."
"Uh huh," Julia said, "All the planets had no living beings, but Earth did. According to Hro, you now him, don't you?"
"Yes," Shayera sighed.
"Well he said, 'They're a pitiful civilisation,'" Julia said. "Not a good enough reason, so I dumped him, destroyed the Bypass and escaped to Oa."
"You did that all alone," Shayera commented.
"I'm fine alone," Julia said. "Although I think the Thanagerians are looking for me."
"And you came to earth to hide?"
"Yeap," Julia said, "I figured they'd figure I'm too smart to go to the planet I was protecting."
"Nice move," Shayera said. "But if you need help ask Clark, or Bruce. Even Bart."
"Bart?"
"Okay maybe not Bart," Shayera smiled.
"He might come in useful," Julia said. "Like if I want Sushi from its home grounds."
"Eugh," Shayera grimaced.
"Ditto," Julia said. Neither one liked the idea of raw fish.
---------------
There was a knock on Lex's door, Clark looked up, "Come in?"
The door opened and Kara walked in. "Hey Clark."
"Hey sis," Clark smiled.
"How's Lex?"
"Stunned," Clark said, "I told him what happened and who I am."
"How'd he take it?"
"He fainted," Clark said.
"Poor guy," Kara said, "Had a couple of rough hours."
"Yeah," Clark sighed, "Thanks to his dad."
"Uh, Clark," Kara started, "Chloe, Don, Pete and I are going on a double date. Lana knows about it, and we invited her to make it a triple, if you wanna come."
"When?"
"Tomorrow," Kara said.
"Who's gonna watch Lex?"
"Kal can," Kara smiled. "You don't have to worry about him."
"Okay," Clark smiled back, "I'll be there."
"Okay,"
"Uh, where's there?"
"Talon," Kara smiled.
---------------
That night, Don found himself looking through the clothes Lex had given to himself and his brother. He threw a red shirt over his shoulder onto Hank's head. Hank snarled and pulled the shirt of his head and tossed it to the ground aggressively.
"That's the fifth effing shirt you've thrown at me," Hank barked. Don jumped, startled.
"Sorry Hank," Don sighed, "I don't know what to wear."
"Go as Dove," Hank shrugged, Don rolled his eyes. "Is this girl really worth it?"
"Yes," Don answered, "I've never felt this way about any one. She's perfect, in every way."
"Don, you shouldn't get too close to her," Hank sighed, "We're gonna go home eventually. And I don't think Chloe Sullivan exists in our world."
Don froze, and dropped the shirt in his hand. Hank cursed him self silently. "You're right, I'll only hurt her, and I don't want to do that."
"I know you don't," Hank muttered. "But what about you?"
"What about me?"
"You know," Hank growled, "You're always telling me to talk, to speak my thoughts, and my friggin feelings. What about your feelings?"
"It doesn't matter," Don shrugged, sitting beside his brother. Hank whacked him across the head, hard. "Ow! What was that for?"
"What have I told you about putting your self down!" Hank snapped.
"You didn't have to hit me," Don protested, rubbing his head.
"Yeah well for some one who's always yapping about talking and listening instead of fighting," Hank said, through gritted teeth. "You never listen to what I say!"
"So you hit me!" Don snapped, angrily, losing his usual diplomatic tone. Only Hank could make him lose his cool, in such a way.
"Don't you speak to me in that tone," Hank snarled.
"Sorry," Don said, sighing, he fell onto his back on the bed, and groaned in annoyance. "Why is life so bloody confusing?"
"I don't know," Hank said, "But it got more confusing hearing you swear."
"Sorry," Don sighed, as Hank fell beside him
"We should go to a bar here," Hank said. "You can annoy all the drunks, and I'll beat them up."
"No thanks," Don said. "What should I do, Hank?"
"Don," Hank sighed, "I'll use your words. 'Do what your heart tells you.' Okay?"
"My heart tells me to stay here with her," Don sighed, "But I don't want to leave you."
"Maybe we can come back one day," Hank yawned. "I'm so bloody tired. Get off my bed."
"This is my bed," Don said.
"It's my bed now," Hank said, pushing his brother.
"Well I'm not moving," Don said, "I'm comfortable."
"You're in a pair of jeans," Hank said, "How is that comfortable?"
"Just because you're pouncing around in your underwear," Don said, "Doesn't make real clothing uncomfortable."
"Don't make me hit you again," Hank snapped. "You better get some sleep so you look pretty tomorrow."
"You mean handsome,"
"What ever, princess,"
"Don't call me that!"
-------------
"Lex," Clark said, shaking Lex awake. It was finally Saturday morning. Clark had fallen asleep on the chair in front of the computer, before he woke up and realise he was late. "Lex, wake up."
"I don't wanna go to school," Lex mumbled, in his sleep. Clark shook him once more. Lex opened an eye and stared at Clark.
"Lex, I have to go," Clark said, "I'll be back later to talk to you. Wally's gonna be here all day with Bart. Kal-El, Batman and Diana are going to look for a way to get home, and the rest of us have plans. I'll be back soon, I promise."
With out another word, Clark zoomed out of the room, cursing Don and Kara for not waking him. Lex looked bewildered when his best friend zoomed out of the room.
"What the hell have I gotten my self into?"
---------------
"Sorry I'm late guys," Clark said, rushing into the Talon. "I had to go see Lex."
"That's alright," Lana said, kissing him. "How is he any way?"
"He's good," Clark said, grinning at his 'sister'. "So what are we doing?"
"You blokes are gonna buy us breakfast," Kara smiled, "And is there a movie theatre around here?"
"Yeah," the four Smallvillians said.
"Sweet, where is it?" Kara asked.
"It's a drive in," Clark said, "Only open at night."
"So why don't we go tonight then?" Don said.
"Okay," Pete said. "If the girlies are up to it."
"Okay," Kara said. Chloe and Lana nodded in agreement.
"So what will we eat?" Don asked. "I'll go get it."
"Pancakes and ice-cream," Clark smiled.
"Second that," Kara added.
"I'll go for a ham sandwich," Chloe said. "With coffee."
"Pancakes with maple syrup, but no ice-cream," Lana smiled. "Oh, and a coffee as well, please."
"I'll come with ya," Pete grinned, following Don.
"So what's it like meeting each other after so many years," Chloe asked.
"Weird," Kara said. "But it's cool."
--------------
Next Chapter: Lex accident insults Bart. Lex and Flash talk. The rest of the triple date. Flash expresses his concerns about Lex to Batman and Superman. Chloe and Lana talk about Don. Superman catches Kara and Pete…Uh oh!
Winthjo- Thank you! Yeah J'onn can rock up as any one, so I'll see how I'll do him.
mcgairman – Other than Shayera I don't really like the Thanagerians…I mean hello! They tried to bomb earth! Jerks… Definitely continuing and there may be a sequel… if I'm bothered.
Ozscott- Thank you! I actually wanna get all seven founding members in the fiction first, so John, Diana and J'onn will be up pretty soon. I think I'm gonna introduce John next since Julia mentioned him, I can work around that.
whiteraven12345 – Thanks
Phoenix Skyborne – I've been planning the Julia/Shayera thing for a while, I knew it'd be a surprise.
TankerMDK – Yeah I know Wally West wasn't in Smallville, but Bart Allen in the episode run did have I.D's that wrote Wally West and Jay Jarrick. Smallville made it seem like Bart was the first Flash in their version and their last because of that, which was why I stuck with that… I'll call Bart KidFlash too, if I need too…Also stuck with Bart Allen because Wally West was already taken… I don't want to have to say which ones which all the time, because I actually hate typing… too bad snail mail is too slow… As for Chloe not recognizing Bart was because this story takes place in the third series towards the ending, just before that episode where Chloe gets those truth powers. She didn't meet Bart until season four. Neither did Clark. And as for that site you gave me, thanks!
catastoophy13 Thanks for the review hope you enjoy.
God damn it…my hands are killing me…never typing this much again…lies, all lies…
You know maybe if I stopped babbling
Peace and Chicken Grease!
