Smallville Alternate Season 5
Clark watched in silence as the portal that the two evil kryptonians created not only sucked them in but rather forcefully launched itself out the window and seemingly for the deep black of space. That was what Jor El was so worried about. He got close to getting sucked in but it wasn't that hard to avoid it. The aliens that sought to conquer the planet were just cocky. He looks to the window and sees two things. One is Lana unconscious, which he should be concerned about considering how often it happens and two the sun is just about down. He has to go back to Jor El by sun down. He looks at Lana and considers the repercussions for a moment what can Jor El do that he hasn't done already. He walks over to Lana and checks on the woman.
The last trace of sun goes down and Clark feels a power course through his mind but before he can react he is quickly knocked out.
Clark opened his eyes to see familiar dirt, carvings, and stone, how did he get back to the Kawatche cave? Clark looks and sees the kryptonian key has already been placed in the portal. He guesses Jor El is forcing him to go. He pulls himself back to his feet and before Clark can walk away he's surrounded by bright light and finds himself in the shadows with light surrounding him just as before the meteor shower started.
"You have disobeyed me Kal El." Jor El's voice echoed through the cave.
"What I do?" Clark asked.
"You gave your word you would return to me before the sun sets on this day Kal El. You did not even try to return on time." Jor El replied laying it out to his son.
"A friend of mine was hurt. I had to make sure she was OK. Besides I stopped the people you were concerned about." Clark replied giving his reasons.
The light shone almost blinding to even Clark's eyes. "I have reached my tolerance of human behavior in you Kal El, although you were raised by humans you are not one of them. You can not be ruled by your emotions."
Clark looked at the AI having his fill of it as well. "Hey, I was raised by humans you can't expect me to be raised around them and not learn how to live like them. You are the impossible."
Jor El heard his son's thoughts. "I see now, I have no choice but to play this hand. You are about to embark on a journey my son. To see who you truly are whether earthling or kryptonian. I wish you luck."
With that Clark disappeared in a trail of light.
A man in a blue leather jacket entered the cave and saw it was now abandoned. To anyone else he'd look like an African American man that was just your run of the mill human being in Smallville.
He walked into the cave and stopped. "So, you actually did it."
"Kal left me no choice J'onn."
J'onn Jones the last Martian looked around and saw the emptiness of the cave as it was sealing itself up including the key. It will reopen if Kal returns and hopefully he'll accept his destiny. "You do realize that by doing this we can't protect him anymore right?"
"Kal is at a crossroads in his life. And we can ill afford for him to be as he is now. I can only hope this journey will be the awakening experience he needs. Especially with what is to come now that the black ship has landed on earth."
J'onn silently nodded in agreement. "For everyone's sake, I hope this works."
Clark opened his eyes as he pulled himself to his feet and looked around and saw himself at a beach of all things. He looks around and sees water and trees as he heads into the forest. Two hours later and Clark has just roamed in isolation wondering just where on earth he is.
Clark kept walking the path when to his surprise an arrow landed at his feet causing him to stop moving. "What the?"
"Who are you?" A blond haired grungy man asked.
"Who am I, you shot an arrow at my foot you wacko!" Clark replied looking at the blond guy. He's been here for a while from the looks of him.
The man put another arrow in and pulled back. "And the next one is going into your eye unless you tell me who you are! How did you get here? Was it a boat, a plane?"
"I don't know." Clark replied through rattled nerves. How can he not know that?
The blond man looked at him losing his patience. "One last time who are you?"
"I told you I don't know!" Clark shouted. "I just woke up on this island an hour ago. I have no idea how I got here I don't even know my own name."
The archer looked at him and lowered his bow. He almost believes him but he's so clean whatever dropped him here couldn't have snuck past him.
Clark's eyes widen as he sees something emerge from the bush running for the archer. "Look out!" He pushes the archer to the ground and the archer can only watch in surprise as Clark for lack of a better word spears a black bear to the ground as the two struggled for control.
The archer quickly remembered he was hunting for lunch and promptly shot the animal in the heart killing it. "Alright, let's discuss this over lunch." The archer looked and saw claw marks on his clothes but no blood.
Clark weakly nodded and followed him. "So, I don't know my name. What's yours?"
The archer smiled yeah, he definitely has amnesia… or he just looks horrible. "I'm Oliver Queen."
During Lunch of cooked bear meat Oliver went through this stranger's wallet and found out his name. "You're Clark Kent of Smallville Kansas. Does that mean anything to you?"
Clark shook his head. "No, but I can deal with Clark as a name. Could have been named a whole lot worse."
Oliver nodded thankful to have company on this island. "Well you couldn't have been dropped off not that long ago. If it was a ship that brought you here we might be able to take it and head home."
"Where would that be?" Clark asked. He doesn't even remember his family let alone a house.
Oliver gave an honest shrug. "You'll just stay with me at my home for the time being. Assuming I still have one."
Clark smiled at the invitation and after dinner the two left to seek out a boat. After a couple hours of exploring the island corners they could see no trace of a boat and if it was a plane it was long gone. Clark looked up and saw a plane above the sky. "Hey there's a plane up in the sky."
Oliver shook his head. "You can't flag it down. It's too high up." Oliver watched open mouthed as Clark just disappeared. Is he hallucinating?
Clark just as suddenly appeared right back. "You were right, it was too far up to see us." He saw Oliver looking at him somewhat in awe and shock. "What, what?""
The two walked and saw an abandoned plane Oliver has been using for home. Clark went to the door and ripped it off when he tried to pull it open as Oliver just looked at him in disbelief.
"The door was stuck." Clark quickly defended himself.
"Actually, it was locked." Oliver replied.
"Why?" Clark asked.
Oliver thought on it but he didn't have anything. "Habit, try lifting the whole thing."
"I can't do that it's a plane."
"Just try." Oliver insisted with how fast he ran and not even a cut from wrestling a bear.
Clark gave a shrug and pulled and sure enough the whole plane came off the ground. "How did I do that?"
"I honestly have no idea."
Two weeks later Oliver and Clark have had no better luck and just accepted life on the island for the time being. Oliver looked at Clark in just indifference for someone who can move at the speed of light and can lift anything on the island. Clark smiled hearing something. Sweet freedom from this place he can almost taste it. He runs to the edge and sees a boat far off but not too far off.
Oliver walked up next to him and saw the boat.
Clark turned to him. "Will they see your fire?"
Oliver shook his head. "No, it's too far out. Come on let's head back that boat is here once every three months."
Clark shook his head refusing to accept this. "No, I'm not leaving this without a fight."
"Clark, it's too far out." Oliver replied. Does Clark think he wants to stay in this hell?
Clark held his head. "No, there has to be a…" He held his head "a…"
Oliver looked at him for a second concerned. "Clark, are you OK?"
Clark shouted when to Oliver's surprise a constant stream of fire left Clark's eyes creating a line from the island to next to the boat.
Oliver looked at it as the fire dyed out and the boat started towards the island as a smile spread across his face. He's going home, he's finally going home. "Or that, do that."
"What am I?" Clark asked after doing that? He's certainly not normal.
"I honestly don't know anymore." Oliver replied. He thought he did but that was just proven wrong. "But, I'll help you find out."
"Does that mean putting me in a lab?" Clark asked he doesn't know why but the idea scared him.
Oliver shook his head knowing about scientists. "Absolutely not." He hit him in the arm as the boat came closer. "Cheer up Clark… you're going to enjoy Starling City."
