Summary: Will Bart get to see Clark and his family?
Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction
Run!
Clark looked at the clock on the wall again. He saw the look his parents and husband gave each other.
"What? I'm allowed be concerned. Bart is never late. You know that."
"Maybe something came up. Or maybe he forgot. Bart's teenager. They're not the most dependable. You know that. Remember what you were like?"
"I was dependable."
"When I told you I was pregnant, you stared at me for five minutes, mumbled something, I still don't know what, and literally flew out of here."
"I came back. And proposed to you."
"Yeah, and I loved the idea of a shotgun wedding. That's why I said no."
"And you were too young Clark."
"I know Dad. But we're married now Lex. And we have a child with another on the way. I took responsibility for my actions. So teenagers can be dependable. And that is why I'm worried."
His mother rose from the table and laid a hand on Clark's shoulder.
"Does he knew we're meeting at the mansion?"
"Yes, I told him that. He was shocked."
"Clark, does your friend know we're married?"
Johnathon winced. Normally, Lex's temper was a thing to be reckoned with, but add in the pregnancy hormones and even Clark, the indestructable hero, would flee for his life.
"Yes! I sent him a wedding invite. He just never came."
"Yeah, he's so dependable."
Clark hated Lex's sarcasm. But he was worried about his young friend. Bart was the closest thing to a little brother he had and he wanted to protect him. His family knew that. Lex sighed.
"Look, you know Oliver has recruited him for this team he has. Why don't you give him a call and see if Bart is there, or been sent on a mission or something?"
"You're a genius Lex."
He pressed a kiss to his lover's cheek and ran out of the room to Lex's office to use his private line. As he left the room, he heard Lex's mobile ring. He rang Oliver and was disappointed when Lois answered the phone and told him that Bart wasn't there. Lex stood up as he walked back into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?"
"That was Jeremy."
Jeremy was Lex's spy. He was Lionel's personal assisstant and was invaluable to Lex, Oliver and the Kents.
"What's wrong?"
"My father sent more men after Bart. About ten. You need to get Oliver, Victor and Arthur and find Bart. Jeremy says they have quite the arsenal at their disposal."
Clark nodded. One thing he knew was that while Bart was fast he wasn't strong enough to hold off ten men. He had to get to Oliver. And fast.
Bart couldn't wait! Clark was finally going to meet his daughter. His friend, and childminder, Sinead laughed as he practically bounced around the room.
"I've never seen you this happy."
"I've never been this happy. I can't wait for them to meet Joanna."
"And then?"
"And then what?"
"Are you going to tell Oliver Queen that you're going to join his team? I've seen the way you look at him."
"I don't know. Can you watch Joanna tonight?"
"Are you working?"
Bart nodded. He didn't like discussing his job, not even with his best friend. But he had to do it. It was his only source of income for him and Joanna. He looked up at the clock.
"Speaking of work, you need to be there don't you? You can't be late again."
"Shit! You're right. Gotta go. Bye Bartie, bye Jo."
Joanna squealed and kicked her legs as Sinead kissed her chubby cheeks. Bart watched as his child's godmother ran out.
"Sometimes I think my speed would be more useful to her."
He refused to use his speed when handling his daughter, afraid he would hurt her. He treated her like she was made of glass. She was the most important thing in the world to him. He straightened as he heard voices. Creeping to the window, he looked out and saw Luthor goons.
"Shit! I have to get out of here."
He picked up his daughter.
"Sweetie, I know I said I would never use my speed with you, but I don't have a choice. I have to get us to Smallville."
He picked up Joanne, cradling her close to his body and prayed that they would get away safely. He took a deep breath and ran out the door as fast as he could, away from Luthor's men. He had to get to Clark. He had to keep his daughter safe.
A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, will Bart reach Smallville and who does Lionel really want? Also, I don't want to be annoying or pushy, but wihout reviews I don't know if people like this story, so I probably won't continue if I get none. Please, if you like the story and want more, review and tell me. Thank you :D
