Chapter 6- The Surprise Visit

"Pete!"

"Hey, Clark. Long time, no see." He said, pointing to the glasses.

"Yeah, they're a little weird. Chloe made me wear them." Pete laughed.

"That was Chloe's idea?" Clark shrugged.

Pete and Clark hugged.

"Are you here to help us with our problem?" Lois asked, hands on hips.

"Problem? No. I actually came here to ask Clark a favour. What's the problem?" He asked intrigued. Clark gestured for Pete to enter the apartment.

"We're from the past." Clark tried explaining. Pete quirked up an eyebrow.

"You're serious? What year?" He asked.

"2005." Lois said.

"Whoa. And I just thought it was good genes." He ran his fingers through his hair. "I'm afraid I can't really help you with that." He chuckled. "You two always end up in the weirdest messes."

"Hey, it's not my fault that we live in the meteor freak capital of the world." Lois huffed out frustrated.

Clark heard heels clacking outside the apartment door. He opened the door for Chloe and Oliver. Chloe spotted Pete immediately.

"Pete!" Chloe yelled out, wrapping her arms around him in a bear hug.

"Oh my God, what are you doing here?" She said looking over him.

"I had a favour to ask Clark, but that's not my priority anymore. I have some resources that might help Lois and Clark in their... odd situation." He said looking for the right word. Chloe snorted.

"Pete, your resources can't beat mine." Pete smirked.

"My contact list consists of very important, influential people Chloe. If you bothered to keep in touch with me, you would know that." There friendly visit had suddenly turned hostile.

"Okay." Chloe said taken aback. Oliver grabbed her by the waist and brought her closer to him, taking a protective stance over her.

"Here's my number, Clark. It was nice seeing you again." He said handing him a business card.

"Have a good day Lois." He said nodding towards her. He brushed by Chloe and Oliver. As swiftly as he had arrived he was gone.

"What the hell was that?" Chloe exclaimed angrily.

A half hour later they were sitting on Clark and Lois' sofas.

"Clark, you need to go talk to Jor-El." Chloe told him.

"Where did you hear that name?" Clark asked her worriedly.

"Clark, we're in the future. A lot of things have changed since senior year." She laughed.

"We know, Clark and its okay. You can trust me and Ollie." Clark regarded them suspiciously and then gave in. He had no other choice but to trust them.

"Chloe's right. Jor-El can help you." Oliver said from beside Chloe.

"Are you kidding me? Every time I go talk to him something bad happens." Clark says incredulously, getting up from the couch and pacing the room.

"Things have changed since then, Clark." Chloe said getting up and putting a reassuring hand on his arm.

"Chloe can go with you if you prefer." Oliver said. Clark regarded him suspiciously. He finally nodded his agreement.

"Who's Jor-El?" Lois asked from her spot on the couch. The other three looked over at her like she had just appeared in the room. Lois gave them an expectant look. She needed answers. Clark ran his fingers through his black hair.

"My father." He said. Lois narrowed her eyes.

"Good one Smallville, but last time I checked Jonathan was your father." Clark gave her an exasperated look. He was annoyed by her present. He would have preferred being transported here without Lois.

"My biological father."

"You've met him?" Clark had a strange look on his face.

"More or less, yes."

"What is that supposed to mean?" She questioned him.

"It means he doesn't want to talk about it, Lois. Not yet. When he's ready he'll tell you." Chloe said. Lois huffed dramatically.

"So how is this guy going to help us?" She asked them.

"We don't know yet. But this guy has a lot of... resources at his disposal. If he can't help us... then I don't know who can." Chloe explained cryptically. Chloe was good at lying and protecting Clark's secret. He realized that he should have told her when Pete had found out. Chloe turned to look over at Clark.

"We need to talk." She said softly. Clark nodded and they walked into his room, Oliver followed and shut the door behind himself. Clark regarded Oliver suspiciously, still not trusting him.

Meanwhile Lois fumed on the couch. How dare they leave her behind? She was part of this mess too. No one messes with Mad Dog Lane. She got up from the couch and tip toed to the closed door.

"Clark, Lois should know. It's inevitable that she'll find out. You can't solve this problem without using your abilities... and Jor-El."

"Lois can't know Chloe."

"Why? You just found out she's your future wife. Why can't you trust her?" Chloe asked angrily.

"I trust her with my life. I... if anything happens to her because of who I am... I don't know what I'd do. I care about her too much to let her in on my complicated life. It isn't fair to her."

The discussion kept going back and forth from there on. Lois couldn't hear anything but the rush of blood in her ears. Abilities? Too dangerous? He was a farm boy from Kansas. What's dangerous about that? Was there more to the farm boy then he let on? Maybe he was a meteor freak. It made sense. He was always at the right place at the right time. Lois snapped back to reality when she couldn't hear anyone talk. She looked up and saw Chloe and Clark staring down at her.

"Oh there it is." She said pretending to put in an earring.

"I was looking for this everywhere, but I found it. Problem solved." She said, marching over to the kitchen.

"Well, what are you guys waiting for? We have to find this Jor-El guy." She said, marching out of the apartment. Clark rolled his eyes at her.

"Clark, I think she heard what we were talking about." Chloe said worriedly. Clark turned around to look at her.

"I know. She's got that look on her face. The one that she gets when she's onto something."

"You have to tell her now Clark, before she jumps to the wrong conclusions." Chloe said following Clark out the door.

"I know." He sighed defeated. Oliver slapped Clark on the shoulder.

"Don't worry man. She took it pretty well the first time. She's like your side kick now." Chloe smiled, though there was a wounded look in her eyes. She had always been Clark's sidekick. But now that she was married to Oliver she had a bigger role to play in the heroes lives. She liked it better this way, anyway.

All three walked out of the apartment following a determined, but directionless Lois.
