Hey, thanks for reviewing!
Don't worry! I won't be ending this fic. so soon. I plan to have more Clois and matchmaking from the twins.
I don't own Smallville. If I did, Lana would've never shown up in the 8th season.
******************************************************************************
Here Comes Dr. Crazy
The three Kents super sped into Luthor Corp. as soon as Oliver gave them the signal. It was pretty easy so far, but they still had to confront Dr. Baxter. Clark did a quick X-ray scan of the building. There had to be at least a hundred labs each with lots of scientists. It would be hard to find just one man. So, they continued on their search for the doctor.
*****************************************************************************
Dr. Baxter poured the contents into the beaker. He had to get this combination right! Normally, any scientist would be grateful and intrigued about time travel, but not him. The doctor had spent most of his life researching teleportation, and had a theory that he had come up with the solution before the strange super powered teens stopped him. Now, he was stuck in a time where half of his resources in technology were gone! If he was in his time, he would've finished a half an hour after he arrived in Luthor Corp.
Tess Mercer had been breathing down his neck moments ago trying to convince him to stay. Hah! Like he would ever stay when he was so close to his biggest achievement. Now, it was time for the finishing touches.
Dr. Baxter brought up the chemicals and poured them over his belt. The circuits started to spark and admitted a purple light. Perfect! He was a genius!
"Stop right there!" a voice came out.
The next thing he knew, a strange young man stepped up to him and grabbed him off of the ground. He dropped the belt with surprise. Baxter peered into his face. The man looked oddly like Superman. Could this be the man of steel at his younger age?
Two young teenagers came up behind him. It was the two that had stopped him before!
"Thank you," the girl said to the man holding him.
The doctor panicked. He lowered his arms and reached inside of his pocket. Clasping around the metal object in his pocket, Dr. Baxter turned it on and slammed it hard against the man's chest.
*****************************************************************************
Cate saw the taser thrust into her father's body. Clark went limp on his knees. Even electricity had its toll on Superman. Dr. Baxter slid out of Clark's hands and ran over to the teleportation belt. Cate ran over knocking the doctor over before he could reach it.
Baxter landed on his table sending chemicals and beakers flying. A Bunsen burner started to catch flame to the doctor's clothes. The flames licked the surrounding hooting up.
"Cate," Johnny yelled, "Grab the belt!"
Caitlyn lunged at the belt as the fire started to reach over it. As she pulled, something else held on, though. Cate looked down to see the doctor's hand clasped firmly onto the belt.
"LET GO!" he shouted even though his clothes were still burning.
"No!" she yelled back. This was their only chance of getting back. She couldn't leave it behind.
She felt a presence nearby. Looking up, Cate saw Clark beside her.
"Caitlyn," he said, "You have to let go. We can't help this."
Caitlyn looked down as her eyes started to fill with tears. The belt was burning in her own hands. Of course, her hands weren't burning, but being only half-Kryptonian, they were starting to get red. She looked forward. The doctor, too, was burning. This was what obsession had brought him.
Slowly, she dropped the belt and turned away from the horrible sight. Still crying, she ran with her family until they reached the exit with the rest of the League. Cate quickly wiped away her tears as they approached closer. She needed to stay strong.
"What
happened?" Oliver asked, "Why are they still here?"
"The
lab caught on fire," Clark explained, "We had to get out. The
belt was lost."
The League looked at the two time travelers for a brief moment in pity.
"Okay," Dinah said bring everyone back to earth, "we need to get out before the power and floor sensors come back on."
With that, everyone started to evacuate the horror of Luthor Corp.
******************************************************************************
Tess Mercer was going crazy! All at once the power had gone out. The whole building was dark with no security cameras operating. A few minutes after that, a fire had started in the lab that she had given Dr. Baxter.
When the man had first shown up here claiming to be from the future, she had, of course, thought that he was mad. Later, though, when he gave proof, it was like a miracle. A person from the future could bring millions of possibilities and answers. They could make the world a better place. However, he wanted to do none of that. He only wanted to get back home. So, Tess had tried to give him that. It was a shame that it didn't turn out well.
The lab fire had seemed to be some sort of accident, but it also seemed like they were getting a lot of accidents that night. When, Tess had finally sent Jimmy Olsen home and checked out everything else, she began to see a connection. Could it simply have been a coincidence that all of these things happened? Or, could someone have played out these events so that nobody knew what really happened to Dr. Baxter?
If there was one thing to be sure of, it would be that Tess Mercer would find out the reason behind what had happened that night.
****************************************************************************
Back at Oliver's, Cate and Johnny tried to weigh their options.
"Well," Clark said, "You know that you're welcome at the farm."
"Thanks, Dad," Cate said glumly.
"At least the night wasn't a total failure," Victor said, "we stopped Luthor from getting the Uranium."
"Yeah," Johnny said smiling a little.
"Uh…hey, Cate," Bart said trying to change the subject, "That's a strange watch you have there."
Cate smiled. "It's not just a watch. It's called a V-watch. It's a combination of a watch, cell phone, and radio."
"And, theses are quite common in the future?" Oliver asked becoming interested.
"Yeah," Johnny said, "Wane Laboratories manufactured these a couple years ago."
"How do you turn it on?" Bart asked as he quickly removed it from Caitlyn's wrist.
"Uh…well, you push the green button on the side, but it's not really working right now."
Bart pushed the button not listening to Cate.
"This is Watchtower calling Cate and Johnny!" a voice rang out from the watch, "Cate! Johnny! Do you read me?!"
"Chloe?!" Cate asked grabbing the watch. Sure enough, Chloe's face was pictured on the fuzzy screen of her V-watch. Except, this Chloe looked older than the one that the league knew. This was the Chloe from the future.
*****************************************************************************
"Aunt Chloe, are we glad to hear you!" Johnny said coming next to his sister.
"Me too, Johnny," Future Chloe said, "The JLA is looking EVERYWHERE for you guys. I was just now able to reach you. Where are you guys?!!"
"At Oliver's," Cate answered, "Seventeen years in the past!"
"WHAT!!!"
"Is that really Chloe?" Bart asked grabbing the watch.
"Bart?!"
"Wow! This is SO cool!"
The rest of the League came up to the watch and looked at the future Chloe.
"Hold on," she said, "The connection isn't good."
They could hear Chloe whispering to someone else on the other line. Their own Chloe was starting to look a little too white in the cheeks.
"Cate? Johnny?" This time a man showed up on the screen. He was dressed in all black with a bat- shaped mask on.
"Bruce?" the twins asked.
"Hey there," Bruce said, "We need you guys to give us a short explanation of what happened."
"Some chemicals spilt on Baxter's belt," Cate explained, "We showed up in the past, got our dad's and the League's help to sneak into Luthor Corp. to try and steal the belt, and afire started and destroyed the machine."
"That certainly is a story!" he said, "Hold on, I'll be right back."
"Who is that guy?" Clark asked.
"Bruce or Batman," Johnny answered, "That's his code name. He's part of the League."
"Wow," A.C. said, "The League has really expanded."
"You have no idea."
Bruce came back to face Clark on the V-watch.
"Clark?" Bruce asked, "I actually just came back with a message from you."
"A message?" Cate asked.
"Yes. He said that those in the past shouldn't see him in his…uh…suit."
Clark looked confused but didn't say anything.
"Anyways, he said that you two shouldn't worry because we're figuring out a way to get you guys back. He's also sorry for letting this happen to you."
Cate smiled. "Tell him not to worry about it."
"Yeah," Johnny agreed, "If it gets me out of school for a couple of weeks, then I don't mind."
"About that," Bruce said, "I also talked to your mother."
"Oh no," Johnny groaned.
"She said that she didn't want you two to be behind in your studies. So, she insists that you guy start high school in that time."
"What!!" both twins exclaimed.
"She wants you two to start Smallville High by the end of this week."
With that, Bruce hung up leaving the screen full of static.
