Timeline: Smallville S4 around the episode 'Run'

Chapter 9

John was still in a good mood after he got in the car, Bobby whispered, "Why's he in such a good mood?"

Andrew was about to answer when John said, "I got laid last night, why?"

"Wait what?" Bobby said with disbelief, "No way, who did you sleep with?"

"Dean," Andrew said, "They were really attracted to each other last night, I'm just surprised they waited until we left. At first I thought they got into another fight but then I knew what they were doing."

John grinned, "Like I told Andrew; there was a fight but it was the very fun type of fight, especially for me."

"Jeez," Andrew groaned, "I don't need to hear about what my brother did with a random guy last night."

"Maybe you don't but maybe Bobby wants to hear what Dean is like in bed," John laughed at Bobby's face turning a brilliant red.

As they drove John was still whistling a happy tune while Andrew made a face and thanked god that he wasn't a full telepath or else he'd have seen it in his memories as well and Bobby simply didn't want to hear about John's exploits.

Bobby looked at Andrew and said, "How does John go from beating the man's face in to suddenly sleeping with him?"

Andrew smiled and said, "It's because Dean was really attracted to John and you don't need to be an Empath to read John, he's easy."

"Hmmph, not easy. We waited until Sam went to sleep and went to his car to do it," John muttered.

Andrew giggled a bit and Bobby joined in this time and John sighed, he wouldn't be able to live this one down.

Bobby simply shook his head clear of the images and said, "So, when are we getting to this Smallville place anyways?"

"It's going to be awhile yet," John said, "We're at least a day's trip away and then we're going to have to hope our mom's brother isn't going to be a racist inbred hick."

Andrew punched John in the arm and said, "Let's not be making snap judgments about him yet."

"Yeah, anyways, you gotta know that in a place that's called Smallville they hunt mutants down, probably got a posse for that," John growled angrily.

Andrew smiled and said, "You know it's not going to be like that, I bet our Uncle will be as happy to meet us like Aunt Debbie."

"No offence," John said, "But Aunt Debbie's son is gay, hell, so is her brother. She's actually one of the best people I have ever met, almost wish I had taken you away years ago and met her."

They stopped to eat some of Debbie's food and John was starting to agree that she packed way too much food but it was good food, hell it was some of the best food he had ever eaten.

Andrew nibbled at his pulled pork sandwich and said, "So, Smallville; it's got a interesting reputation: the Professor hates the false positives it gives on Cerebro, it's gotten bad that he's unsure about what to do about the town, he wants to help them but is unsure on how to do it."

John shrugged and said, "If they want help they would've asked for it."

"Not really," Andrew said, "I mean with all these false positives who would know who is the real mutant and who are these enhanced humans."

They argued the point until they got to Metropolis and John finally yelled, "Alright, let's not discuss who are the real mutant and not the real mutant. I mean does it make a difference how they got their powers?"

"No," Andrew said, "But it does make a difference on how they use their powers, I mean from the stories I've heard these enhanced humans often struck out against people who tormented them or did things to get what they wanted."

John shrugged and said, "The ones striking against their tormenters I can understand, hell it's what I would have done."

Andrew shook his head and sighed, he loved his brother but sometimes he could be an ass to people but he was a good person at heart or at least that's what he thought.

As they drove through Metropolis Andrew was amazed on how big the place was; the Daily Planet globe was spinning in the distance, he said, "Let's look around before we go on to Smallville?"

"No Andrew," John said, "I mean it's a nice city but it's late and hell, I want to get looking for the family tomorrow."

Andrew sighed and said, "Sure, maybe we can look around when we come back?"

"Alright, I promise," John said softly, "After all it's a big city and there's gotta be some good things we can see here."

They left Metropolis quickly and Andrew was actually surprised about how big the city was, he had heard it was big but then again the Professor would take them to New York City, it was cool and the Professor said that they might go to Washington D.C soon.

"So," Bobby said, "How far is Smallville from the big city?"

"Not too far," Andrew said, "Fact is I think they are about an hour apart from each other," at the others look Andrew grabbed a cookie and said, "What? I studied the place."

The others laughed as they drove down the road to Smallville and John wondered, 'Who named a town Smallville? It wasn't the best name.'

As they passed a sign Andrew read out, "Smallville: meteor capital of the world. Cool, maybe there are some rocks still around."

"Yeah, rocks from space," John said, "That sounds special," and shook his head and muttered, "Weird small towns and finding things to feel proud of."

Andrew pointed out a motel and John groaned at the name of the place; it was called the Meteor Fall Inn. Who the hell named a place after a devastating attack?

"Okay," Andrew said, "I'll go pay for our room," and added, "If they have any vacancies then we can all get separate rooms, right?"

"Yeah, I could do that," John said, "Though what if you want to crawl into bed with me again, so we will get one big room?"

Andrew shrugged and said, "Sure, I guess if you want to share the bedrooms."

John looked away and said, "I just like keeping an eye on you, I mean you're my little brother and I want to make sure you are safe, alright?"

"Okay," Andrew said as he hugged John, much to the receptionist's amusement; she smiled and laughed just a little bit while John looked more than a little embarrassed.

"Here's your keys and thank you for choosing our inn while you are visiting our town," she said with a smile.

"Now," John said, "I'd like to know what's there to do in this town; like bars or whatever?"

"Umm," she said with a smile, "Aren't you a bit young to go drinking?"

"Ohh, umm, I'm like 21," John said, "Honest."

Andrew kicked John's foot and said, "You're sixteen and you know it."

"Well since you're too young to go why don't you try the Talon," she said, "It's a real popular place, my daughter and her friends go there all the time."

John sighed and said, "Sure, why not, I'll check it out," as he left Andrew grabbed his shoulder he smiled and said, "Don't worry kiddo, I'll be good."

Andrew shook his head and said, "I'll go with you if only to keep you out of trouble."

"Don't you trust me?" John said with a smile, Andrew shook his head and so did Bobby.

"You got into a fight with a guy who cut us off. Hell, you were lucky that he wasn't some guy with crippling mental problems," Andrew said.

John shrugged and said, "I was hoping you were going to come with me to enjoy this slice of Midwestern life."

As they walked downtown Andrew smiled, "This seems to be a nice little town," he said as they walked along the sidewalk.

"Yeah," John said, "But people in this town are probably the kind of people that attack anything different than themselves."

"No," Andrew said, "Don't be like that; you know not every human being is looking to start fights with us because we're different."

"Sorry," John said, "I know you don't like me talking like this but it's true; I seriously doubt that normal humans will ever accept us."

"I think they will," Andrew said, "And people can surprise you. I mean you thought Aunt Debbie was going to be just like dad, right?"

"No," John said, "She did surprise me; I was almost expecting her to be like dad but she really surprised me with how she acted. Hell, Michael surprised me; he kept trying to get me to show him my powers."

"Yeah, he was pretty cool," Bobby said, "He runs a comic store and told me that next time we should go to visit the place, something about giving us a discount."

"Cool," Andrew said, "I love comic books, I wonder if he's got some good books?"

John shrugged, "I can take comics or leave them."

Bobby pointed out the coffee place and John winced; the place seemed loud and annoying. As they walked in a blonde girl took a look at Bobby and froze, she said, "Oh god, Eric! They let you out of Belle Reeve?"

"Umm," Bobby said, "My name's not Eric, its Bobby."

"You look just like a kid who went crazy a couple of years ago," she said and shook her head, "I'm sorry, I'm Chloe Sullivan."

"Nice to meet you," Bobby said, a bit worried that he looked like a kid who went mad.

"Just be careful, Eric made a couple of enemies," Chloe said with a smile.

She noticed Andrew and John behind Bobby and quickly introduced herself to them too.

As they talked, hiding their status as mutants, she was curious about their story and said, "You have no idea who this guy is and you're going to introduce yourself as his family!"

"Does he have a name?" Chloe said happily, "Or is he just 'male Uncle?'"

"No, all we have to go on is mom's maiden name," Andrew said as he sipped the coffee that the waitress gave them.

"What's his last name?" Chloe said, "I mean I'd love to help."

John shrugged and said, "It's Kent, you know any of them?"

She began to laugh, nodded and said, "I know the Kent's."
