Back In Time
Hey all :) well here it is , the latest chapter. I tried so hard to get it to you as fast as I could, so I hope you like it! Enjoy! Also, please remember to read and review.
"You are not the Lois Lane of this time." Jor-el spoke and Lois nodded.
"Jor-el, I am from 7 years into the future. I was thrown back into this time by a Kryptonian priestess called Lyana. I need you to tell me anything you know about her. Please Jor-el we need to get back to our own time." Lois answered and prayed that Jor-el would know something about her fiancée's crazy stalker.
"You are with Child." Jor-el answered, not as a question but as a statement.
"Yes I am. Jor-el the baby that I have growing inside me is half kryptonian. Clark is the father."
"The child may be Kal-el's, but the child will not possess the Kryptonian traits."
Lois had gotten the answer she expected out of Jor-el, that a human and a Kryptonian could not produce a child. Shocker. Lois thought, but decided to move on.
"Jor-el, the woman who sent me back here was called Lyana, she kept going on about how she was a priestess and that she and Clark were the keys to rebuilding the Kryptonian race. I need to know if you know a way to send me back home-back to my Clark." Jor-el made no comment which made Lois nervous and as the seconds went by It only intensified.
"She is right."
Lois was crushed by Jor-el's eventual response. How could he possibly agree with that irrational woman.
"Lyana and Clark are the key to the survival of the Kryptonian race."
"You're race will live on through my and Clark's child, which is half Kryptonian! Whether you want to believe it or not." Lois said angrily as she defended herself and her baby. "Clark would never agree to what Lyana is suggesting!"
"No he would not. That is why Lyana mission is pointless. As you said, Kal-el would never agree to it, espiacally while you are with his child."
Lois was not expecting that. She was ready to go another few rounds with him. "then why did you say she was right?"
"Kal-el and her are the only pure blood Kryptonian left that are not related. Together they would produce an heir that would help start the rebuilding of our race. However, Lyana has clearly become obsessed and that has clouded her judgement."
Lois agreed with what Jor-el said, obsession could tear a person apart, she'd seen it first hand.
"So is there anyway you can send me home? " She asked hopefully.
"The magic that Lyana used to send you here is beyond my control. The ancient magic that she uses come from a religion that was studied by few. Only she can send you back."
That was not the answer Lois wanted to hear. Naively she thought that a trip to Jor-el would fix everything. That they would talk and he would use his powers to send her back and her and Clark would live happily ever after.
"Please there has to be something you can do? Anything?" Lois begged becoming desperate. "A way to talk to Clark at least?"
"I am sorry Lois. I cannot provide the help that you seek. You getting back to your own time will rely solely on The Kal-el of your time and his abilities." Jor-el said calmly.
Lois nodded sadly and prayed that Clark was making more headway then her.
"Is that all Lois?"
"Can you do me one more thing?" Lois asked, taking advantage of this opportunity. "Whether you believe me or not about the baby, I can't go to the doctors for obvious reasons, so can you please use your fortress to make sure the babies healthy?"
There was silence. Lois began to wonder if maybe Jor-el had gone already, however the fortress began to make a quite humming noise and as quickly as it started it had finished.
"Your's and Kal-el's child is healthy." Jor-el informed Lois, who suddenly felt like a weight had been lifted.
"You're sure?" Lois asked, double checking her facts.
"I don't make mistakes." Jor-el answered and Lois decided to leave it at that. Just as she was walking out of the fortress she heard Jor-el and turned back.
"Lois, don't lose hope. While I may not know the origins behind Lyana, the Jor-el of your time may know more due to events that have passed. Kal-el will get you back."
Lois smiled and thank Jor-el and then walked over to where Clark was standing.
"Did you listen in smallville?" Lois asked playfully.
"No," Clark answered quickly, truth be told he been dying to take a listen and find out who the father of Lois's child was, it was driving him nuts. But he knew what knowing might do, and there was no way he was going to risk it. "Did you find out anything about this Lyana?"
Losi smiled sadly and moved Closer to Clark, "No. But I'm not giving up. He'll find a way to bring me home I just know it." Lois said and Clark wondered who she was trying to convince, herself or him.
"Well," Clark said scopping Lois up into his arms, "If he's as wonderful as you say he is I'm sure he will."
Present Time
Clark hadn't slept for two days now. Not that he wanted to, his dreams where always of Lois. Sometimes they were so real he forgot that anything had changed. He expected to walk downstairs and see Lois stuffing her face in the kitchen or singing to her stomach.
"You need to sleep Clark." Chloe said as she poured herself another cup of coffee. "You're running on pure caffeine at the moment."
Clark sighed and pushed the old Kyrptonian book away. "I feel guilty when I sleep Chloe. Every moment I spend sleeping Lois is stuck…wherever!" he said angrily.
Chloe had become used to Clarks outburst, and she didn't blame him. If she were in his position she would be doing the same thing.
"Lois wouldn't want you to kill yourself Clark." Oliver interjected, walking in the door carrying food. "I know it's hard, but even if it's like for 30 minutes, just get some sleep."
Clark was about to protest when he thought about what Oliver had said. If Lois was here right now she would be kicking his ass. Yelling at him for not taking care of himself. Sighing, Clark stood up and began to walk up stairs to his and Lois bedroom.
Chloe looked over at Oliver, "I've been trying all day to get him to sleep and you say one thing and he goes. God I love you." She said and walked over and took some food off him.
"What can I say? I'm a genius." Oliver smiled and then walked over to the couch where Chloe was sitting. "Found anything?"
Chloe gestured at the dozens of old books that were lying in front of her, "Nothing much in human textbooks, a few things but not enough to go on. The good stuffs in these."
Oliver picked up a musty old book. "Kryptonian?"
Chloe nodded, Clark found it in with all his Kryptonian stuff, there's some reference to the old religion, but Clark can't read the language. He's going to have to take it to Jor-el."
"I hope it's something, I really do." Oliver said hopeful. The two sat together in silence, reading through the old and new textbooks. Each one hoping that they would find the information that brings Lois back home.
