EPILOGUE

Future 2021

The Fortress was flooded by a bright white light.

"Welcome back my child," Jor-El's voice boomed out.

"Did it work?" Christina asked impatiently.

"I do not know Christina."

Christina took a big breath. "Well I guess I better go find out then. Thank you for everything," she said as she placed the crystal back in the console and super sped to Smallville. When she arrived she was shocked to see her mum and dad's car and Aunt Chloe and Uncle Bruce's car in her grandparent's driveway.

As she began to walk towards the house she heard her father fly in behind her.

"Christina Ellen Kent, you have a lot explaining to do young lady. Where have you been?" he asked sternly.

Christina turned around slowly and faced her father Clark Kent/Superman with tears in her eyes. "Daddy." She exclaimed as she ran over and embraced him.

"Hey . . . what's the matter with my girl?" he inquired soothingly to her.

"N . . . nothing dad, it's just really good to see you." Christina said wiping tears from her eyes.

"Well sweetie I'm glad you're ok. And I know everyone else is going to be as well." He looked at her and wiped her tears away with his thumb. "Hey everyone come outside! There's a surprise for you." Clark called out to the family inside the house.

When everyone stepped outside they were all shocked but extremely happy to see Christina. But nobody was more shocked and happier then Lois Lane. "Where on earth have you been Christina Ellen Kent?" she asked as she walked towards her and embraced her.

"I'm so sorry . . . for worrying you all but there was something very important that needed fixing." She hugged her mum and wouldn't let go until she saw everyone else. She hugged and kissed each and every one of them until she got to her grandfather. She stood in one place staring at him intently.

"What do I have something on my face?" he asked wiping his hands over his face and chuckling. Then he got a big surprise when she embraced him like she never had before. Jonathan Kent was worried about her because he felt her shaking and crying. "Hey sweetie . . . what's with the tears?" he asked pulling her away from him so he could see her face. When he looked into her eyes he had never seen such sadness before.

"I'm sorry . . . it's just really good to see you grandpa."

"Well it's great to see you as well. Now where have you been all this time?"

"That's what I would like to know?" Clark said as he changed back into his normal clothes.

"I would really like to tell you all," Christina said smiling, "but if you don't mind . . . I would really like to leave it in the past." She chuckled as she walked towards the house only to be stopped by her mom.

"We have been really worried about you Christina. You have been missing for a week and all you have to say is leave it in the past. Young lady I need more information." Lois said sternly with her hands on her hips, but all of a sudden she saw something in Christina's eyes and finally understood where she had been.

"I can't tell you much, just that what I did was for a good cause." She replied hoping they would leave it at that.

"Umm . . . guys I would like a few minutes alone with my daughter please." Lois said glancing at everyone else.

"Sure." Clark said as he leaned in and gave his wife a quick kiss on the lips and then they all walked to the house and inside to wait.

"What's up mum?"

"So this is what you meant by we will see each other again." Lois smirked at her.

Christina was surprised. "How did you? When did you?"

"Your eyes . . . they were the same sad eyes when you left us in the loft that day."

"You weren't supposed to remember. How did you remember mum?"

"I gave birth to you. Need I say more?"

"How much do you remember?"

"I only remember you from that day in the loft. Why?"

"No reason mum." She said hugging Lois again. Lois and Christina stood wrapped in each others arms when they heard Jordan come up to them. "Hey brat, how are you?" Christina said as she bent down and gave him a hug.

"I'm not a brat. And I'm fine. Where have you been for a week, anyways?" Her eleven year old brother asked smarmily.

"To hell and back little brother." Lois chuckled at her son's expression, then she embraced both of her children and they walked towards the house, up the front stairs and stood on the porch. Jordan walked inside leaving Lois and Christina by the door.

"So are you going to tell me what you have been up to for a week?" Lois inquired as everyone stood watching them.

Christina thought about how much she should tell them and decided just to tell them one sentence and hope they leave it at that. "Well let's just say it began with changing the past and fixing the future." She shut the door happy that she had changed the past and future for the better.
