Hello everyone and welcome back. I want to thank Stormymegumi and Superfan for reviewing. Anyway this chapter deals with the aftermath of the alien invasion.
I still own nothing but the plot
Normal pov
Warm everything is warm and peaceful. At least that's how Ororo felt at the moment lying in bed in the haze. You know the kind of haze where you were not quite awake and not quite asleep just the happy haze of the in-between. With Clark's arms wrapped tightly around her waist and a cool breeze coming in from the open window, nothing could ruin the beauty of the haze. "Baby you're like lightning in a bottle, I can't let you go now that I got it. All I need is to be struck, By your electric lo-" The rest of the song was cutoff when Clark shut off his alarm.
"I guess the peaceful haze is over then." Ororo whispers with a sigh, there was no sense denying it was time to get up.
"Good morning to you too." Clark said with a yawn.
"It was a good morning anyway." Ororo said with a sigh. "The rest of the day is going to be so much work though."
"Right." Clark says in understanding. "Brazil is still having that blizzard."
"Yep and Greenland is having a heat wave." Ororo adds in. "And of course the Sahara dessert is still flooded."
Even though all of the alien factories from the invasion were gotten rid of the repercussions were still felt throughout the earth. Almost every country was affected with a severe weather change some of course worse than others but Ororo had been working almost non-stop for two weeks trying to get the earth's overall atmosphere back in order. And as frustrated as it was for her to have to go from one country to the next it was ten times better than when she had to go to all the funerals and memorial services especially going to the ones that belonged to her students.
"How long do you think it will take to get things back in order?" Clark asked turning slightly to look down at Ororo whom he had still wrapped in his arms.
"I can hope that this will be settled in a month." Ororo ponders out loud. "But it's still not guaranteed. There's just so many places that I need to get to." Ororo explains in a bit of a stressed tone, though she was happy to help those in need this was really starting to weigh heavily on her a fact that Clark was quick to notice. "And I still haven't gone to the Watchtower for monitoring duties. I've got to find some time to fit that in today."
"That's crazy Ororo!" Clark says his eyes widening a bit in surprise. "You're spreading yourself thin as it is! You've hardly given yourself a day off."
"Neither have you!" Ororo counters back with a glare.
"Yeah but that's different I'm str-" Clark begins to say but then trailed off at the end when he saw Ororo's eyes sharpening in anger.
"By all means Kal-El please finish that sentence." Ororo says in what clearly was a warning tone.
Clark instead just coughs clearing his throat. "Okay how about if we both take the day off."
"Because that will go over well." Ororo says sarcastically. "Sorry world can't help you while you're still in the middle of a crisis!"
"Okay so maybe we can't completely take the entire day off." Clark begins to muse. "But we can stand to take the night off? We'll go out to dinner and see a movie or something?"
"I don't know." Ororo says after a while. "That's when I have to go to the Watchtower."
"Ask someone to cover for you…like Diane." Clark suggested. "She likes helping you."
"Wonder Woman." Ororo corrects. "Remember that's what everyone is calling her now."
"Right. Wonder Woman, just ask her to cover for you and I'll ask Bruce to cover for me." Clark continues to suggest. "I'm sure he won't mind and then we'll be free to have some time off."
"I am supposed to see her today." Ororo remembers out loud. "I guess I could ask her then."
"And I'll ask Bruce later on today as well." Clark says excitedly, Ororo could only nod in agreement she begins to move intending on starting her day but Clark only tightens his grip around her waist pulling her back underneath his body. "Not so fast. We're not done just yet."
"Clark?! I have to get ready for wo-" The rest of Ororo's sentence was cut off when Clark brings her into a kiss and wraps her legs around his waist.
"Told you we're not done Ororo." Clark says while thrusting his manhood inside of her center.
Cut to later that day in Brazil
Storm and Wonder Woman had just landed on of the jets that Batman had provided the League in Rio. That was where the president Sergio Dantas informed the two heroines where the blizzard was the most severe.
"Great Hera it's so cold." Wonder Woman says with a shiver as she and Storm stepped out of the ship. "Why did you ask me to come with you again? It shouldn't take you long to end the blizzard correct?"
"It's not as simple as just getting the blizzard to stop." Storm begins to explain. "This country's normal weather patterns have to be put back in place very carefully. Which means I can't afford to lose focus at any point and because this area has spent at least a month without seeing any sunshine-"
"It makes it an ideal place to hide for some of the invaders that we may have missed." Wonder Woman finishes now understanding Storm's point.
"And I'm sure they'll try anything to stop me." Storm stated before flying towards the eye of the storm.
With Storm working towards ending the blizzard Diane was left to her own devices and feeling very bored after twenty minutes.
"I guess she didn't need my help after all." Wonder Woman stated out loud to no one.
Unknown to the amazon princess there was a flying craft quickly heading towards Storm's location the blizzard that was still falling was helping it blend into the clouds. It was lucky that Wonder Woman had decided to look up just then because that flying craft was now within blasting distance of Storm. Acting quickly Wonder Woman flew up into the sky and made it just in time to block an attack with her bracelet reflecting the attack back towards the flying craft and destroying it.
But then two more suddenly appeared and began attacking at once, and it took a lot of effort for Wonder Woman to block the attacks from hitting Storm. Knowing that she had to come up with a plan to get rid of the flying crafts she pulls out her lasso and wraps it around one of the crafts. "Hera give me strength!" Wonder Woman shouts as she swings the craft in the air and then throws it towards the other craft destroying them both. Exhausted Wonder Woman floats back down to the ground in the hopes of catching her breathe.
It was after this was done that the blizzard finally cleared, the clouds now parting once again to make way for the sun. Wonder Woman looked up in awe still amazed by Storm's power even after a month of seeing her in action. "Are you sure you're not a goddess?" Wonder Woman asked as the weather witch came back down from the sky landing next to her.
Storm just laughs shaking her head. "I've been called so many things queen, cloud-walker, wind-rider, witch and goddess as well. These are all titles that other people have given to me which is too many for someone who simply wishes to help."
"I think that you deserve them all." Wonder Woman states evenly as they walked back to the jet.
"Then as an Amazon I'm sure you won't mind doing a favor for a goddess."
Cut to Batcave/ Daily Planet later that day
"Come on Bruce it's just for one night!" Clark proclaimed over the phone once more, he wasn't having much luck in convincing Bruce to cover Watchtower duties for the night.
"And when I said to call me when you needed help, covering date night wasn't what I meant." Bruce states coolly over his speaker as he continues to work from his computer.
"I wouldn't have asked unless I really needed you to cover for me." Clark tries to argue again, just as his phone vibrated indicating that he got a text message. "And it looks like Ororo convinced Diane to cover for her."
"I've got Gotham to worry about Clark." Bruce said evenly. "Why don't you ask someone else?"
"Everyone else is busy." Clark explains honestly. "And besides you know how much this would mean to Ororo if you covered for us."
"Fine." Bruce reluctantly agrees with a sigh. "But only because I know how upset Ororo was when she thought I was dead."
"Actually she was upset about both of us." Clark said, Bruce could tell even from over the phone that Clark had narrowed his eyes in annoyance.
"Yeah but she was so upset about me, that her powers were able to break through the hold the factories had on the atmosphere." Bruce states smugly. "I'd say that means she cared more about me then she did you."
"And I'd say that you're reading too much into it." Clark stated evenly not at all impressed with his friend. "I better get going."
"You should take her to Antonio's she likes their food." Bruce says before the other hero could hang up the phone.
"And how do you know that?" Clark asked bitingly.
"You don't think her world stopped just because you refused to speak to her do you?" Bruce explained with a smirk. "Remember that you were basically out of her life for almost two months."
"And what is that suppose to-" Clark begins to demand forcefully.
"Goodbye Clark." Bruce said dismissively ending the call before Clark could finish his question.
"Ass." Clark said in annoyance putting away his phone away.
"Hey Smallville, I hope you're ready to pull an all-nighter because Perry wants a final draft of the Queen Industries article first thing tomorrow morning." Lois states walking by him and taking a seat at her desk.
"Well it's a good thing I have my half of the final draft ready to go cause Ororo and I have a date tonight." Clark proclaimed. "I've already sent a copy to your email."
"Oh, that's good." Lois said quietly, if Clark didn't know any better he'd swear there was a hint of disappointment.
"Yeah it is." Clark stated looking up at the time he saw it was fifteen minutes to five.
"So what are you two doing tonight?" Lois asked politely.
"Nothing fancy really just dinner and I know Ororo wanted to see that new heist movie so we'll probably go see that after." Clark finished explaining now shutting off his computer. "I better get going. Have a nice night Lois."
"Night-" Lois begins to say turning her head to look up at Clark only to see him gone. "Smallville." She finished saying with a sigh shaking her head and getting back to work.
Cut to Ororo's apartment
"Ororo are you ready." Clark asked once he entered Ororo's apartment.
"Just about." She stated from inside her room, Ororo was almost ready to go when Clark came to her apartment to pick her up.
"Okay I've just got to grab a tie." Clark said walking towards the hallway closet to grab one.
Though the couple no longer officially lived together they were still in a sense sharing a…well two spaces. They both had kept enough things in each other's apartment that they could just stay without having to go back to their own for weeks. Clark had even been tempted many times to ask Ororo to just move back in with him only to chicken out in fear that she would get upset and banish him to sleep on his own couch…again.
"Are you going to wear the red one?" Ororo asked now stepping out into the hallway.
"No the blue one." Clark says as he puts the tie on.
"Too bad." She says from behind him.
"Why's tha-" Clark begins to ask but stops mid-sentence when her turns to see his girlfriend in silky smooth red dress.
"We would have matched." Ororo said with a teasing smile, while Clark stared at her completely speechless.
In Clark's opinion there was no such color that Ororo would ever look awful wearing. That being said red was by far his favorite color to see on her. There was something just so alluring to him about seeing Ororo wearing red and she knew this if her teasing red lips was a clear indication of the reaction she was hoping for.
"Clark." Ororo said breaking him out of his trance. "Are you ready to go?"
"Actually." Clark begins to say licking his lips staring at her with lustful eyes. "I'm starting think that a night in would be better."
"But what about dinner?" Ororo asked coyly as he approached her.
"We can order in." Clark answered trying to pull her towards him.
"The movie?" Ororo asked just coyly moving out of his reach.
"There's a Redbox around here…somewhere." Clark answers while following after her intent on getting a hold of the teasing weather witch, a quick use of his x-ray vision had showed she was also wearing matching red bra and panties set.
"So then I got all dressed up for nothing?" Ororo says with a pout.
"Believe me your efforts have not been wasted." Clark proclaimed wrapping his arms around Ororo's waist and pulling her into a long passionate kiss. Clark would have been happy to stay in the kiss but Ororo had shocked him in his tongue. "Ow!"
"That's what you get for being greedy." Ororo states pulling away from him and grabbing her coat walking towards the door. "You can't have your dessert before having dinner."
"Teasing Witch." Clark whispered in a daze, he picked up his coat and followed after her.
A/N and that's the end for this chapter! Just as a heads up I've decided to also do chapters like theses to be used so we can dive into what happens after everything is said in done. It's also a good way to establish the characters interactions with each other. Brownie points to whomever can figure out the song from Clark's alarm. Please read and review see ya next time!
