Episode 2
"You really shouldn't be here." Clark said as he felt a slight rush of air from behind him, turning to see Laura standing there with a slight smirk on her face.
"What, you don't want to see me Clark?" She asked, raising her eyebrow and Clark just smirked before walking over and kissing her.
"You have no idea how much I want to see you, but isn't your brother expecting you for dinner?" He asked as he finally took his lips off of hers.
"He'll survive without me. Besides I think he and Lana decided to ring in the New Year and I don't need to be around for that." She said with a laugh, and Clark grimaced slightly; the last thing he needed was to think about his best friend and his former crush 'ringing in' the New Year.
His grimace soon faded as Laura once again attacked his lips with her own.
"Our parents would kill us if they saw us right now." Clark said, pulling his lips away from Laura's. She grinned, her smile almost predatory as she kissed him again.
"You're right. After all, Jonathan Kent's son kissing Lionel Luthor's daughter would be frowned upon seeing as how our father's hate each other so much."
"Honestly, If it wasn't for my mother, I think my dad would've shot your father the day I saved you from the car crash."
"Not like I needed saving." She said with a smirk.
A/N: How many of you remembered season 1 began as a flashback?
Before Clark could reply, there was a gust of wind and the security guard that accompanied Lionel was standing in front of them.
"Kal-El, you two must leave immediately. Go to this address, all will be explained there." He told them, handing Clark a sheet of paper before disappearing several times faster than a normal human could blink.
"What do you think, should we go?" Clark asked, turning to Laura, the mood from only a moment before having completely evaporated.
"I think we should."
"Can we trust this guy though? I mean, we don't even know his name."
"Clark, he hasn't done anything to harm either of us yet. Besides, I think we can trust him. After all, he did help you find me."
Clark looked away, his shoulders slumping slightly.
"Clark-"
"No Laura. If I had just been honest with you, If I had just told you the truth about Jor-El and my heritage than I never would have needed to find you in the first place."
"Enough Clark! None of that matters anymore. All that matters is that I love you, now leave the past in the past. Or do I need to remind you what my right hook feels like?" She asked with a mock-glare, forcing Clark to laugh despite himself.
"No thanks, I think one punch from you is enough, although I wouldn't turn down another kiss."
"You're insatiable, I swear." She said with a smile.
"Just for you my love, just for you." He told her leaning towards her, only to be stopped by her finger on his lips.
"Did you forget the part where we have to get out of here?" She asked. Clark glared slightly but Laura just laughed.
"Patience handsome, patience. Play your cards right and we may have our own New Year's celebration later."
Clark just grinned before taking a look at the address and handing it to Laura.
"Race you there." He said and the two disappeared in blurs before stopping seconds later outside an observatory on the outskirts of Metropolis.
"Shall we?" Laura asked and Clark nodded before walking over and knocking on the door of the observatory. There was no response and just as Clark was about to try again, the door was opened. The man who opened the door appeared to be in his late forties with brown-hair and glasses; however it was obvious from the wheelchair that the man was in that he would never walk.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
"I'm Clark Kent, this is my girlfriend Laura Luthor. We were told to come to this address." He replied handing the man the note. The man studied for a moment before he handed it back to Clark, smiling as he did so.
"My name is Dr. Virgil Swann. It's a pleasure to finally meet you both, now please come in. We have a lot to talk about."
The two super powered teens looked at each other and nodded before they followed Dr. Swann into the building. It appeared that the building served as part house and part observatory as they passed a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom before following the doctor up a set of winding stairs that led to an observatory that was littered with maps and star charts.
"I'm sure you're both wondering why you're here, but before I explain that, allow me to explain a little about myself. I'm a scientist, an astronomer more specifically who made a fortune off of the stock market when I was younger. During those years I met several people who, like myself were interested in astronomy. But we weren't content simply with studying the stars; no we believed that there was life outside of our solar system, but more specifically that there was a chosen savior who would come to protect mankind. Together we young idealists formed a group called Veritas, whose sole purpose was to find this savior or Traveler and help them as best we could. However some of our group wanted to use the Traveler for evil and the members of the group eventually parted ways."
"Not that this isn't interesting Dr., but why are you telling us any of this?" Laura asked although she had a feeling she already knew and judging by the expression on Clark's face, so did he.
"I'm telling you this because I found evidence of the Traveler, and not just one Traveler but two. I'm telling you this because if you haven't already discovered this on your own, you are not simply Clark Kent and Laura Luthor. You are also Kal-El and Kara Zod."
