Everything Is Going to Change
Henry, Josh, Sean, Caitlin, Cisco, Barry, and even Brianna were all sitting around the living room in complete and utter shock at the series of unfortunate events that have taken place. Michael, Willa's father, was receiving condolences from family members he hadn't seen in years hoping he would see them under other circumstances. Josh was eating copious amounts of food to not thinking about the events that took place a few years ago. It was extremely depressing in the Lang household; everybody was dressed in black, crying over the deaths of Lana and Nina Lang. During the actual burial service, Oliver Queen was there but quietly sulking in the background because it hasn't been publically stated that he was found. He was back in Star City trying to find out what happened to Luke's body after he fell to his possible death. Nobody had said anything to each other the entire time; even though they were all thinking the same thing, how was Willa really doing? No one has seen her since she came running back from the service.
"So should we go see how she's doing?" Caitlin hesitantly suggested, no one replied. Brianna watched her ex boyfriend stuff his face in disgust.
"How can you be eating right now?"
"You of all people should know that I binge eat when I'm depressed. What are you even doing here, you ruined Willa's chances of getting the part for the play!" Brianna wanted to curse out Josh so bad, but she was stopped by Henry.
"Enough! We shouldn't be fighting right now, we shouldn't even be depressed. Because we all know that both Lana and Nina would want us to be celebrating their life." Sean exclaimed.
"I agree, I just don't think Brianna should be here right now. She barely knew Lana or Nina and was only friends with Willa because she dated me and is Sean's sister!" Sean rolled his eyes at how inconsiderate Henry was being. Even though Brianna wasn't the most likeable person because of how she treated Josh when they were together, Lana saw the good in everybody. Brianna was so upset that she went up to Josh and flipped his plate of food over, making it spill all over Josh's dress shirt. Josh got furious, Brianna ran out. "Dammit, Brianna!" He was going to run after her but was stopped.
"Josh don't!" Sean yelled, he ran after his sister to calm her down.
"Well am I wrong? Why should she have any reason to be here, she hates all of us!" No one replied, so he sat back down and wiped his shirt off.
"So who wants to try and talk to Willa? Barry maybe you should talk to her?" Caitlin suggested. "You were there when they died and saw everything, you probably know how she is feeling right now." Henry rolled his eyes and Barry noticed the annoyance.
"I don't think I am the best person to talk to her, I actually think that it should be Josh."
"What, why me? I am in too much of a mood to talk to her, I don't think having negative energy around would help her."
"Barry's right, you do know her best out of everyone here. I think she'll listen to you out of all of us."
"Well if Henry agrees with Barry, which is very unusual, then I guess I can try talking to her." He went upstairs with everyone looking at him in hopes he would come back down with Willa. Even though he hated this idea, Henry was right, Josh was probably the only one she would listen to right now. Josh and Willa were like two peas in a pod, brother and sister, always agreeing with each other, and on the same page. It was mostly because they had something in common, their parents weren't much a part of their life. Lana was always off saving people and even though Michael tried to be there for Willa it was hard with his job. For Josh his mother was a drug addict and his father had a drinking problem because he was constantly traveling for his job. So whenever Josh was having a tough time he would always go to the Lang's house in Metropolis to be put in a better mood. Josh hesitantly opened the door a little bit shocked that it was unlocked. He looked around the room, but there was no sight of Willa only an empty bottle of Jack and an Ipod playing "The Funeral" by Band of Horses on repeat. He checked the bathroom and everywhere upstairs, but she was nowhere to be found. He went back downstairs with looks of disappointment that Willa wasn't with him. "Willa isn't here."
"What?" Henry asked concerned. Michael overheard Josh and was now worried, it was not safe for her to be around Metropolis this late at night by herself. "Where could she be? I mean she couldn't have gone that far. It has only been an hour since the service."
"She did take a different car than me after the service." Michael replied. "She could be anywhere now." Everyone paused for a minute, but then Barry and Henry both had an idea of where she could be.
"I think I might know where she went!" They both said at the same time, Henry still very annoyed at Barry.
"Ok are they the same place?"
"She always goes to the Crest Field windmill in Smallville in times of distress. It is exactly an hour away from here."
"I was actually thinking of a different place." Henry rolled his eyes.
"Of course you were." They were all getting fed up by their bickering.
"So why don't you two just super speed on out of here and bring her back?" With that Henry and Barry went to their respective places of where Willa would run to. It was a gloomy day in the center of Kansas, not just because of the depressing affairs, but because of the weather. It was extremely rainy and stormy in the city of Smallville, the city where not only Lana Lang was born but also the late and great Superman. Henry ran off to Crest Field as he told his ex girlfriends friends that, that is where she would be. He ran all the way to the top of windmill to where Willa went after the dreaded audition, but Henry was wrong and she wasn't there. Barry went the opposite direction, still in Smallville, but to the downtown area. What is usually a very busy main street with bustling locals buying coffee from the Talon or flowers from the Lang flower shop, is now a ghost town because of the strange weather events. He stood in front of the Talon, a coffeehouse and movie theater that Willa's mother owned when she was in high school and throughout her adult years. A lot has happened in this seemingly ordinary Egyptian themed coffeehouse, with both Lana Lang and her daughters.
Four Years Ago…
A bright young pupil walking through the unfamiliar streets of downtown Smallville, was looking around the more relaxed town than what he was used to. He was completely lost looking down at his map on his phone, it was his first time in this small farm town and he wanted to make an impression on the chief of police of Star City. However, he was not paying attention and all of a sudden without warning, he ran into a stunning high school student. He was immediately taken aback at this stunning creature. She looked like a model from a high profile European magazine about to walk the runway. She had light brown hair, mystifying green eyes, and golden caramel skin. What he didn't know was that he walked into someone that was going to change his life forever. He was completely awe-struck he didn't even realize that when running into her, she had spilled the coffee she had just got.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry! Is there anything I can do, get you a new coffee? A new wardrobe maybe?" He looked behind him as he saw a sporting goods store that might've had a shirt and pants for her.
"No, it's alright." She lied as she tried to wipe down the excess coffee off of her white blouse and tan skirt. The young average looking boy with short black hair, pale white skin, and baby blue eyes felt awful.
"Are you sure there must be something I can do?" He was wondering why she was being so sweet, because back at Star City everyone was rude and obnoxious. Maybe that was just the vibe of Smallville, making him wonder how there could be a murder investigation in this homey town.
"No, it's really alright! I was going over to my friend's house before school, I'm sure she has a new outfit that I can borrow." They finally got up realizing they were causing traffic in front of the doors of the Talon.
"I just feel really bad."
"It's ok really. You're not from around here, are you?"
"No, how can you tell?"
"Well it doesn't seem like you take no for an answer, here in Smallville we just let things slide by and don't get mad at anything. Also the way you are dressed and your nametag from Star City is a pretty big giveaway." He looks down at his laminated nametag from Star City Police Department, completely embarrassed and blushing. "So what is an intern from Star City PD doing here in Smallville?"
"My boss wants me to check out the Smallville High investigations, I'm a forensic scientist. But I think I might be lost."
"If you are trying to get to Smallville High then you are extremely lost, you are going the complete opposite way." She was about to lead him in the right direction, but as soon as she did that she hesitated. A few blocks away she saw Henry walking with Josh, headed off to school. She didn't want the guy she was into to see her walking with an attractive stranger, he might get jealous. "How about this, you get me another coffee and I'll show you the way to Smallville High, Barry Allen."
"That sounds great! But how do you know my name?" She looked down at his nametag. "Oh right the nametag, speaking of names… what is yours?"
"Willa, Willa Lang." He knew that last name, but he couldn't think of where he knew it from. Just as soon as they were about to head into the Talon, a beautiful couple in their mid thirties came out of the coffeehouse. The woman looked a lot like Willa, and the man was much more stern and protective, wearing a police uniform.
"Willa, why are you headed back into the Talon? You are going to be late for school!" Barry realized these were probably her parents, and he finally recognized who her mom was.
"Well Barry here spilled coffee on me so he is going to get another one."
"Barry Allen, from Star City PD? You here for the murder investigation?" Her father asked sternly, Willa blushed.
"Yeah, I'm an intern, I also know the chief of police pretty well."
"Well you are in good hands Barry, my daughter knows Smallville High very well. She is a great tour guide." Mrs. Lang interrupted.
"She has been great so far, Mrs. Lang. She didn't even throw a fit when I spilled her coffee. I would also like to say I admire your valiant work, you have done so much for the cities of Smallville, Metropolis, and Star City. I envy your courage."
"Well I don't do it all by myself. We should be on our way though, we have to get to Metropolis. Have a good day at school hun." Lana Lang kissed her daughter's cheek, Mr. Lang hugged her and patted Barry's back hard.
Present…
Barry Allen hesitantly went inside the coffee house and upstairs at the small studio apartment. People like Lois and Lana lived here and a lot has happened in this small one bedroom apartment. Not only with Clark and Lana or Lois and Clark, but also Barry and Willa. He was standing outside the open doorway as he saw Willa, the girl he was in love with, read a journal.
"Are you just going to stand there, or come in?" Barry was shocked that she knew he was there, but he didn't put it past her because she was always good at sensing when people were around. "Wow, exactly in hour before you guys finally realized that I wasn't around. I think that is record timing."
"Well I'm kind of scared to face Henry now, because I'm not sure how he is going to react to find out that you didn't go to Crest Field."
"I thought about going there, but then I realized I haven't been here in a while. So much has happened here…" A lot has happened here, this is where not only Lana and Clark first slept together, but also Clark and Lois, and Barry and Willa. "Why do you think Luke killed my mother and sister in the way that he did.
"I'm not sure." Even though Barry very well knew why.
"I mean he killed my sister using kryptonite, but our mother said that kryptonite couldn't hurt us. Because there was no way that her power would come onto us. The only person who I know that is deadly allergic to kryptonite is… is…" She started to put things together and couldn't believe it, she wouldn't believe it.
"Is Clark Kent… aka Superman."
"It can't be… He can't be my father. My mother stopped having a relationship with him a long time ago."
"Some people go back to what they were used to when things go terribly wrong in their life." Barry was hinting at their relationship as well.
"You knew about this? You knew about this and never told me?"
"I'm sorry, Willa… But when Clark found out he begged me not to tell you."
"I thought I could trust you out of everyone here." She was upset and ran off into the foggy afternoon of Smallville High. Barry Allen got a call from Oliver Queen.
"What is it Oliver?" He sounded pissed.
"I found something on Luke, you need to get to Metropolis as soon as you can." He ran off to Metropolis.
"What is it?"
"Look." Oliver showed a video tape of Luke after Barry thought he had killed him, but apparently Luke got up without a scratch on him. Suddenly the tape turned to snow, Oliver and Barry were ready to fight.
"Ha ha ha… You guys thought I died, didn't you. Well thanks to Willa's mom I found a way to be just like you guys. Nothing can kill me now, and I will do everything in my power to kill Willa!" It was Luke speaking but he was nowhere to be found. Willa was in her room crying her eyes out, Henry was knocking on her door.
"Willa are you alright? Can I come in?" Henry realized the door wasn't locked and went inside.
"Did you know Henry? Did you know that Clark is my father?" He was shocked that she knew that. "The fact that you aren't answering me makes me believe that you knew everything. Did everybody know?"
"We had our suspicions, Clark was involved in every Justice League job there was. But when you were born he was seen less and less. Lana told me first, but I promised not to tell you, then I told the group because they had to know why Clark wasn't going to be around as much."
"My whole life is a lie… Everything I thought I knew wasn't the case so, everything is going to change now isn't it?"
