Sasha sat quietly in the seat next to Martha while they drove to Metropolis, Clark and Lois had been gone a couple weeks and Martha felt maybe Sasha could handle the drive to the bigger city. She had already called and told Clark they would be there by that evening.
"Are you sure its ok?"
"Yes they are looking forward to seeing you."
"Its going to be so much bigger than Smallville and your home."
"I know but it will be ok." Martha told her. She tried to reassure the young woman.
"You might want to calm down I have noticed when you are upset your ears start to show."
Sasha reached up and noticed she was right her ears were pointed again.
"Sorry."
"Its fine. You're with me. We are just going to have to keep an eye on you alright."
Clark looked up as his mom and Sasha entered the Daily Planet.
"Hey Ma." Clark said standing and hugging her. He turned and hugged Sasha. "You ok?"
"Yeah." Sasha answered looking around, there were more people in the room than she was used to, she jumped when she heard a voice call out for Clark. He took her hand and led her away with him.
"Who's your guest?"
"My sister."
"You have a sister?"
"This is Sasha. Sasha this is my boss Perry White."
"Nice to meet you." She said. She kept her eyes downcast.
"What brings your family to town Kent?"
"My sister has never been to Metropolis and mom wanted to bring her to see me."
"Take the afternoon off and visit with you family take Lois with you."
"Thanks Perry. Come on Sasha."
"Nice to meet you Sasha."
"Nice to meet you too sir." Sasha answered heading out the door behind Clark.
"Come on Perry gave us the rest of the day off. Let's show Sasha around."
Clark grabbed his jacket and led the group from the building. Sasha reached for the glasses he was wearing once they were outside.
"Why are you wearing these?"
"They don't know who I am besides this."
"So you don't need them?"
"No dear he doesn't." Lois said to her. Sasha looked at the buildings when they got outside, they were bigger than she had ever seen. Sasha turned her head toward a noise that she did recognize, she looked at Clark who had heard the same sound.
"Lois take mom inside the building now." Clark told her. Lois nodded and took Martha by the hand and headed into the office building.
"You said the barrier was closed."
"It is, my father only allowed one way in and out of our world and that was it. And no other could create them. The ones that did are dead a long time."
"Did you sense them?"
"More like a suddle sound." She told him. "Being an elf I have keen senses and I almost sensed them. Clark this group isnt here through the barrier, they have always been here. And once the barrier was closed they were trapped."
"Then how did they find you?"
"I'm out of place here."
"I have a friend that is out of place."
"How so?"
"I'll introduce you two at some point you'll understand."
"We need to lead them away from the city. They will kill anyone they see."
"Are you sure?"
"Not really, they've stayed to the shadows. They might be following us because I am part of the royal family they think I can reopen the barrier. Once it is closed I can not open it. They are trapped and I will never if I knew how I would never open it again."
"We will figure it out. They haven't attacked by now they won't right now. Come on we will stay on our guard."
"Alright." She answered, she just hoped he was right.
