Chapter Eleven
"Who are you?" Lex said, as he walked into his pool room. A young boy around Clark's age was playing pool. The boy looked up from where he was standing trying to aim a ball in.
"The name's Bart," Bart said as he shot the ball and missed.
"You're holding the stick wrong," Lex said, Lex grabbed another stick and showed him how to hold it before shooting it in. He took another shot but missed, purposely, "So why are you here?"
"I'm with Clark," Bart said, adopting the same style as Lex before shooting the ball in. "Sweet!"
"So your one of the Justice League," Lex asked.
"No," Bart said, as he took missed the next ball. "I'm from this world."
"Oh," Lex said, shooting another ball in, "You have powers too?"
"Yeah," Bart said, as Lex took another shot and hit the ball in, "I run fast."
"That's it,"
"Speed of light," Bart answered, sighing as Lex shot in another.
"Oh," Lex said, shooting in his forth.
"What about you?" Bart yawned impatiently.
"No," Lex shrugged shooting in another. "No freaky powers."
"I'm not a freak," Bart snarled, throwing Lex the stick. Lex caught it as Bart stormed out of the room angrily, the door slamming behind him. Lex winced and put the sticks down and followed, as he went to open the door it swung open. A twenty-three year old looking man with red hair walked in.
"What did you say to him?" he asked, Lex moved back frightened.
"I didn't say anything," Lex muttered, wishing Clark was here. He was in a large house alone, with only two men, both super-powered. Unless, "Where's Julia?"
"Uh," he looked confused. "Dunno really she and Shayera went some where."
"Who's Shayera and who are you?" Lex asked mistrustfully.
"The name's Wally," Wally said, realising he had his mask on last time Lex saw him. Flash hadn't noticed Lex's reaction. "I'm the fast guy in red. The Flash, remember?"
"Oh," Lex muttered, nervously. "Who's Shayera?"
"A friend," Wally smiled, sitting on the pool table. Lex tutted impatiently. "What?"
"I paid 40 grand to get that table," Lex said, some-what poshly, as though to say 'Nanananana! I can afford a forty grand table and you can't!' "And you go and sit on it."
"My bad," Flash smiled, jumping of the table, "So how are you feeling?"
"Fine," Lex lied, only this time Flash picked it up.
"No your not," Wally said, "You're worried about something."
"You don't even know me," Lex snapped.
"So," Wally shrugged. "I'm a superhero; it's my job to help people out."
"You can't help me," Lex snapped.
"Why not?" Wally said, in a soft tone. "What's such a big deal? I'm sure your problem isn't that bad. Maybe if you tell some one, they could help you."
"Well, I would speak to Julia normally," Lex mused, sitting on the pool table. Wally smirked and followed Lex up.
"If you're worried about me telling some one," Wally said, "You don't have to worry, my mouth is sealed."
"I'm not going to tell some one I just met my problems," Lex snapped.
"Actually, we met a few days ago,"
"And I don't think we got along," Lex sighed.
"Not at first," Wally shrugged, "But we did reach an agreement just before your dad fried your head."
"I don't understand why my father done this to me again," Lex said, "And why it's only wiped out a week of my memory."
"Beats me," Wally shrugged, "Is that what's bothering you?"
"No," Lex sighed, "I just don't know what the hell is going on? I don't know if I can trust my dad, or Clark. I just don't know."
"I might sound biased, but please, your dad's an ass," Wally sighed, "You know Clark doesn't mean you any harm. He's saved your life countless times."
"Yeah he has," Lex said not sounding to assured.
"You should be glad to have a superhero or actually, a superhero in training as a friend," Wally smiled. He then sniggered, "hehehe, Superhero in training! SHIT!"
Lex smiled as Wally doubled over laughing.
-----------------
Lana and Chloe screamed as another person was brutally killed in the movie Jeepers Creepers Two. Both girls held their dates fearfully. Kara and Pete watched the film absolutely delighted, and Clark was grinning because Lana was holding him tightly.
Don, however, sat absolutely frozen in fear as the Creeper killed one of the students on the bus. Oh God, where is Hank when you need him?
He felt Chloe rub her head against his shoulder in attempts to hide herself from the screen. He suddenly wished he was her, and she was he. A scream from the screen made him scream and jump up in fright, knocking Chloe to the ground.
"Oh! Sorry," Don said, pulling Chloe up as Pete, Kara and Clark laughed. Chloe glared at him before joining in and giggling her self.
"You could have warned us you don't like scary movies," Pete grinned.
"Shush!" Some one said from behind them.
"I'm not scared," Don lied, sitting back. He thought, just petrified. Chloe slipped her arm in between Don's and held it tightly. Pete smirked and gave Clark a look. Clark grinned back understandingly. Don sighed as Chloe's head rested on his shoulder. The film began to play creepy music, which was warning the crowd that the Creeper was back. The music got louder and spookier and Don became more frightened. The Creeper suddenly appeared out of no where with a bang as Don felt something grab his sides.
"Gahhhhh!" He screamed, bolting out of the theatre. Clark laughed softly, only to be slapped across the shoulder by Lana.
"Oh crap," Pete said. Chloe glared at him, and followed Don out of the theatre.
"Shut up!" another viewer snapped.
----------
"Hey Batty, Supes," Flash said, as he zoomed beside the two superheroes.
"I told you not to call me Batty!" Batman snarled as he typed into the computer.
"What is it Wally?" Superman asked, talking to Flash like he was a child. "We are very busy."
"I can see that," Flash said, sitting next to Batman on the table. Batman glared up at him, "But we may have a problem."
"What type of problem?" Superman asked.
"Luthor, I mean Lex, Clark's Lex, not this Clark the other Clark-"
"We know which one you mean," Batman snapped, exasperated.
"It's not my fault it's confusing!"
"No one other than you finds it confusing," Batman chided.
"What is it Wally?" Superman sighed.
"It was just the things he was saying," Wally said, "He doesn't know who he can trust, you know, he's not sure if he can trust Clark or his pop."
"But he knows he can trust us," Superman said.
"That's what I said, but he didn't sound too convinced," Flash said.
"He'll be fine," Batman said, seeming more focused on the computer in front of him.
"Bats, I really think there is something wrong with him," Flash argued. "He's had his memory wiped-"
"He will be fine," Batman repeated.
"Bruce is right, Wally," Superman smiled, "He may be confused now but he'll be fine."
"Alright," Wally sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing with them. "Bye."
"Bye," Superman said, Batman merely continued typing.
Flash zoomed out of the room. He'd just have to watch Lex alone and make sure nothing bad happened to him. Or he could tell Bart, Michael and Don about it. Or maybe not, Bart was too young and not much help, Michael was a twit and a half, and Don, well Don was Don. He'd probably give him a speech on saving the whales. Again.
-----------------
"Are you okay Don?" Chloe said, catching up to him. Don turned and smiled.
"I should have known it was Clark and Pete," Don said, embarrassed.
"They're idiots," Chloe smiled.
"They're boys," Don smiled back, "Besides, I hate horror movies."
"Same, I prefer thrillers," Chloe smiled.
"No," Don said, "Give me a romantic comedy any day."
"You're not gay, are you?" Chloe said, raising a brow.
"No," Don grinned, he was quite use to people calling him gay, or asking if he was gay. "I'm just diplomatic and sensitive. My brother on the other hand, is a brute and one of the most insensitive people I've ever met."
Chloe laughed, "So you two are opposites, I guess."
"Yeah," Don smiled. "But we get along. At least enough so he doesn't kill me."
Chloe burst out laughing, "I wonder when the movie is gonna finish?"
"Hopefully soon," Don said. "You gonna go back in?"
"If you're not, no," Chloe said. "I only agreed to watch it because we were outvoted."
"I would have preferred to watch titanic," Don muttered.
"Are you sure the ship sinking wouldn't have scared you," Chloe joked. Don smiled softly.
----------
"Hey where'd you go," Clark asked, walking up to Don and Chloe. He had his arm wrapped around Lana as Pete and Kara walked hand in hand behind them.
"Just here," Don smiled, "Remind me never to watch a horror movie ever in my life again."
"Will do," Pete grinned.
"So what are we doing know?" Lana asked, as Clark's hold tightened around her.
"Pete and I are going back home," Kara said, she faced Clark, "Are you gonna come too or you and Lana going to hang out a bit more?"
"It's up to Lana?" Clark shrugged.
"Well I have to go back to the Talon," Lana said. "I got work to do."
"Okay," Clark smiled, "I'll see you later then?"
"Okay," Lana said, kissing him on the cheek, "Bye guys."
"Bye," the small group said, as Lana walked away and disappeared.
"Well," Kara said, "Pete and I are going, you coming Clarkie?"
"Yeah," Clark said, "and don't called me Clarkie."
"Bye guys," Pete grinned, wrapping an arm around Kara.
"Bye," Don and Chloe grinned, watching their friends leave.
"So what are you going to do now?" Don asked, as the two began to walk out of the cinema.
"I have a bit of work to do on the Torch," Chloe said. "Not sure after that."
"Okay," Don smiled, "I think I better go home, see what Hank is up to. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Hopefully," Chloe grinned. Don grinned back sheepishly.

Chloe put the finishing touches on her article and then pressed the print button. She clicked on the MSN Messenger and signed in and smiled when a new screen popped up.
Lana says: Hey Chloe.
Chloe began to type her response.
Chloe Sullivan says: Hey Lana. What are you doing?
Lana says: Chatting to you, finished all my work, so I'm bored. What did you and Don do after the date?
Chloe Sullivan says: Nothing… I had work to do at the Torch and Don wanted to see his brother.
Lana says: So do you like him (grins sheepishly)
Chloe Sullivan says: Guess so… but he is so perfect, its making me wonder…
Lana says: Wonder what?
Chloe Sullivan says: If he's real. He must be from another planet or something. He's so sweet and well perfect… Need to stop repeating myself.
Lana says: Maybe he's the one?
Chloe Sullivan says: Maybe he is… or maybe he's gay!
Lana says: LOL!
Chloe Sullivan says: Joking… but serious he talks so much for a man… even more then Lex and Clark when they argue over which one of them gets the last nacho.
Lana says: And then Pete eats it!
Chloe Sullivan: Lol…On our first date, Don was telling me about the Ethiopians with no food, and whales…
Lana says: Hahahahaha! So he's a green peace freak?
Chloe Sullivan: No, he didn't seem to be one. I think he's more of one of those individual environmental people.
Lana says: Well either way, your right he does sound perfect… We are so lucky… Both our guys are sweethearts and gorgeous.
Chloe Sullivan: Ditto!

"Clark, have you seen Kara?" Kal-El asked, wondering were his cousin was. It had been a few hours since he last saw her.
"Um, no not sure," Clark muttered, averting his eyes. Kal-El knew that look, it was his look.
"You know something," Kal-El said.
"No," Clark said, "What would I know?"
"What has Kara done know?" Kal-El said flying towards the loft.
"Kal! Wait!" Clark screeched, running after Kal, attempting to jump up and fly. It was too late however…
"YOU! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY BABY COUSIN!" Superman screamed, causing a few of the cows to moo.
"Kal! I'm not a baby!" Kara barked, flying out of the loft to poke Superman in the chest.
"I'll kill him!" Superman said, flying the window. Clark dashed in to find Pete screaming down the stairs. The young black man hid behind him, fearfully, as Superman stalked towards them his hands reaching out to strangle him. Kara ran into the loft and sighed in relief when she found Pete was still alive with all body limbs still attached.
"Where's some Kryptonite when you need it?" Clark muttered, as he and Kara pushed Superman away from Pete.
"Run Pete!" Kara cried. Pete didn't need another hint. He left faster then the Flash could have. Superman still struggled to chase after him, but when Kara punched him across the nose he stopped. "How could you? I'm not a two year old friggin baby! I don't need to be watched twenty four friggin seven! And it's not like I was with a complete stranger. It was your own bloody best friend! I'm so out of here!"
Kara sped out of the room, leaving a stunned Superman, and a scared Clark. He prayed his Kara was nothing like this one.
"What did I do?" Superman asked. Clark stared at him. "What?"
-----------
Next Chapter: Julia and Lex have an argument. Supergirl takes her anger out on a defenceless tree, and then on Bart. Lex sees this and makes a decision. Bart gets himself in trouble, but Julia comes to the rescue.
Ozscott – Your gonna love the next chapter, I'm gonna introduce another character… As for the sequel, it could work, the people of Smallville go to the Justice League World… but I'd have to put it in the JL section of Fanfiction then I guess…
Mari12345 – Hope I got the numbers right… Thank you!
I have a little question… You all know that I'm gonna introduce the Original Seven in first… so that means Diana, John and J'onn… but who else can I introduce after that? Or should I just leave it the original Seven in this fic, and add their doubles in the sequel? J'onn would love it if there was two Booster Gold's! (Always picked up that J'onn doesn't really like Boosty…)
Have you lot watched the episode of JL when Lex and Flash swap bodies! Isn't that hilarious! The best quote ever…Luthor-in-Flash: At the very least, I can discover the Flash's secret identity. (unmasks) I have no idea who this is.
Or Flash and not washing his hands…cause his evil! I think that would make more than half the world evil! Hehehe
Peace and Chicken Grease
