It was quite amusing, everyone said I was the obsessive one, looking at Kelly that so wasn't true. She was currently on day 5 of looking through the book and not finding a thing, not even Liam was distracting her. A knock on the door pulled me away and I answered the door, Clark stood there and I pulled him into my arms and kissed him softly. "I missed you," I told him.
"I know," he chuckled. "Metropolis needs me though."
"I know, we need to think of a permanent solution," I admitted.
"Yeah, speaking of," he said. His eyes passed me and landed on Kelly, "what's happening with her?"
"She's obsessing," I said.
"I am not!" Kelly yelled. "Researching."
"Obsessing she hasn't moved in 5 days," I said. Clark chuckled, "so how about we go on a date? Right now, at the fortress?" Clark nodded, "right Kelly try and move away from the books I'm going out with Clark."
"Whatever," she said.
"Fly?" I asked with a grin.
He nodded and picked me up, I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his shoulder as we flew out the window, I enjoyed the breeze as we flew. I loved it. It didn't take us long to arrive at the fortress, as we did I noticed there was already food and everything there, "did you plan to take me out anyway?"
"I did," he laughed. He placed me on the ground and I sat on the blanket, Clark handed me a drink and I took a small sip. "I missed you and we do need to talk. This is my last week in National City."
"Oh," I said quietly. "I should have expected it really, I can't move or anything until I defeat the Black Witch. I mean she's in National City."
"She's not actually," Clark said. "She's back in metropolis. She wants to end it where it all started."
"My house?"
"No, hers," Clark said. "After you told me the family name something clicked a story I had heard so whilst I was back home I researched the name and they originated from our city. I'll show you the research later it may have the answer to defeating her." I smiled, I leant up and kissed him softly. "I have really missed you Libby."
"Do you want me to move back to metropolis?"
"Libby, I can't make you move home," Clark sighed. "This should be your choice, you created a life here, a home and a job. If you move, I want it to be because you want to move. I can't have you resent me later." I looked at him, "you need to seriously think about it, actually what made you leave?"
"I was looking for something or should I say someone," I admitted. "After the memory wipe and getting my powers I felt lost, and I figured get away from home. I just wanted to escape I suppose CatCo was a happy accident. I just I'd feel bad leaving CatCo I love my job and Cat was good to me. She was the one who gave me the job."
"I'm not telling you what to do Libby, we just need to think of something," he said shrugging. What he really meant was that I would have to think because he couldn't leave them without their Superman which I understood.
"I'll think about it," I told him softly. He nodded, I had an idea but it was whether I could get people to agree with it, and by people I meant the one and only Cat Grant. Clark reached over and pressed his hand on my cheek. "I love you Clark."
"I love you too Libby," he said. "So if I suggested that you hide out here until the Black Witch was gone, you'd say say yes?"
"In you dreams Clark," I whispered. "In your dreams." I climbed onto his lap and wrapped my arms around his neck. "Clark I know you're worried."
"Scared," he said. "I'm scared, you aren't invincible like Kara and me."
"I know," I nodded. "But we do have healers too Clark, and Kelly has that fancy force field going off. I also have powers Clark, I know you're scared considering I let her fireball me."
"Still can't believe you did that," he muttered shaking his head. "Do you know all your powers? Are you sure you can have them all and come out alive at the end?"
"I have many powers Clark, and yes I am very well trained in all of them, I have telechkinisis, orbing, freezing and blowing up. I also have deflection and empathy and the latest fire throwing, other than the new one I don't struggle with controlling them."
"Let's practice," he said.
I groaned, "Clark if I wanted to practice I would have stayed with Kelly," I muttered. I stood up and smiled a little, I pulled my jacket off throwing it to the floor, "I have a much much better idea." I stepped up to him and kissed him softly, it took him a few seconds to get into the kiss it wasn't long before he was kissing back. I bit his lip gently and he groaned. I pulled away slightly and looked at him, I grabbed the bottom of my top and pulled it over my head revealing my bra. He gulped a little and I laughed, "still want to train?"
He pulled me back into his arms crashing his lips to mine, "I want you," he mumbled.
"You may have me," I teased I grabbed the bottom of his top pulling it off, underneath it revealed his Superman suit. "I forget about that sometimes." He grabbed the middle of my bra ripping it into two, he kissed down my neck and sucked gently. I could tell he was holding back and it frustrated me. "Hey Clark, I'm not glass you don't have to be gentle."
I woke up wrapped around Clark, I looked up and he was awake, "morning," I mumbled. He carried on playing with my hair "I guess we have to go back to reality now."
"Nah," he chuckled. "Let's just lock the fortress up and never go back to our lives." I laughed, that sounded so nice. "I need to show you all that stuff from the Preston siblings."
"We best get going if I don't check in with Kelly about something she could freak," I said. I climbed off him and got dressed quickly, I hated wearing clothes from the night before. "I'm going to quickly orb home, meet me back there?"
"Not even a kiss?"
I laughed, I leant up and kissed him softly, I thought of my apartment and orbed there, I grabbed some clothes out of the wardrobe as well as clean underwear and changed. I walked out my room and saw Kelly on the sofa.
"Good you're home," she said. "I have an idea on how to defeat that."
"Hold that thought, we need to go somewhere," I said. She frowned, she was about to say something and I quickly carried on talking. "Clark found some information that we are going to find useful also she's not in National City anymore."
"Where is she?"
"Home." She nodded and sighed, "so we're going to orb to Clark's apartment." She nodded. I reached for her hand and thought of Clark's apartment. We arrived and I opened the curtain to let in some light. He wasn't kidding when he said he'd been working on looking into information. "And people say I'm obsessive."
"You are," Kelly scoffed.
"Not as much as you two, you haven't left the apartment in 6 days and he has clearly been doing a board," I muttered.
"He's worried you're going to die, being a fragile human and all," she mocked. I reached over and slapped her arm which just made her laugh. "Anyway my idea for killing her use the elements."
"She has that power and she'll be expecting you to use it," I heard Clark say. I turned to see him entering the apartment. "She has every power you two have well except one."
"Which is?"
Clark looked at me and I knew, "the one that puts me in danger," I said. "Fire throwing, she has fireballs but she doesn't have the power to throw fire long lasting like I can." Clark nodded, "which is why you wanted to practice last night." He nodded again. "Well, we won't use it, she knows how powerful the ultimate power can be. I refuse to believe she can back us into a corner, I'm thinking we need a little help from our magic friends."
"Clark and Kara?"
"No," I said shaking my head. "How about some trolls? Some fairies, maybe even a leprechaun or two. I mean if they can scout the location for us, generations of witches have used them before. I don't see why they wouldn't help us we've always been good to the magical community."
"So what do you have?" Kelly asked Clark.
We walked towards the board and he began to get into explanation he had managed to create a timeline of the girls being alive. That's when I noticed something, "There's a gap in Catalina's life," I said. "A 7 month gap."
"I don't know where she went for those 7 months, but it only took 3 months after that before she killed her sister, so whatever happened in that gap it was the trigger," Clark said.
"She was unmarried," Kelly said. We both nodded, "why else do people have gaps in their lives?" I looked at her blankly. "What if she was pregnant?"
"What?" I asked in surprise.
"What if Katarina hid her sister for those months because she was unmarried and pregnant," Kelly said. "What if she took the baby and that's why she was murdered."
"I think we've got this all wrong," I said. They looked at me confused, "what if history got it wrong? This is all rumoured, talk, they were twins wasn't they? A simple switch, a little magic you can spin a whole new story."
"No," Kelly said. "You don't think? What happened to the baby?"
"Maybe that's why she's dead, she refused to give her baby up," I said. "I think we need to do some history rewriting."
"Wait, are you saying Katarina isn't dead?" Clark asked.
"I'm saying Catalina is innocent," I said. "Catalina is the dead sister."
"Wait we talked to Katarina's ghost though," Kelly said. "Can you spell a dad person?" I shrugged, I didn't know. "Well shit."
"We don't know anything, I think it's time we started looking for the baby," I said. "Find the baby, find the clues."
