Chapter 3: Superman Debuts
(Clark's POV)
Two and half years later Clark Kent was walking through the busy streets of Metropolis heading for an interview at the Daily Planet. It was only a couple of months ago Kal-El last son of Krypton finished his training in Africa and then he headed back to the fortress to talk to his father.
[Flashback to two months ago]
Kal-El: Father I have completed my training and I ready to become the hero that Earth needs.
Jor-El: (AI) I know son and I agree. Kal-El I am not happy with the little stunt you played with your friend before you had to Africa.
Kal-El: Father I know but I gave her no specifics. Also I had to see for myself how much she changed.
Jor-El: (AI) I know my son because you care for her more than you know but it still could of jeopardized things. For now you must continue your life after training here is the hero outfit as a symbol of hope.
Kal-El: Thank you and I will be the symbol of hope.
(Then he put on the outfit and then went back into the world.)
[End of flashback]
Now here Kal-El was reintroducing himself as Clark Kent raised in Smallville, Kansas. Also return to his job at the Daily Planet so here he was for an interview with Perry White. Also he was not sure if Lois is back but soon he will find out. As he stepped out of the elevator to head to Perry's office he heard the all too familiar voice of Lois Lane in a rant about something. Finally Clark Kent made it to the door of Perry's office for the interview.
Clark: Hi Perry White?
Perry: Clark Kent it good to see you come on in and we will get started.
(Clark stepped through to door and closed it for the interview.)
All the while the office was the newspaper went on in it hustle and bustle.
(Lois's POV)
Lois Lane was heading off to her coffee break when she could of sworn Perry saying Clark Kent name as she went by his office. At that moment Lois forgot about her coffee and decided to head back to her desk work more on the article and also see if was actually Clark Kent in the office when he comes out. Before Lois made it to her desk Perry brought her out of her thoughts to join him in his office.
Lois: Chief you wanted to see me?
Perry: Lois don't call me chief and I like you to meet your new partner Clark Kent.
(Lois looked to her side and sure enough it was Clark Kent but he looked different with glasses. Also he had gotten more muscle since the last time she saw him for years ago.)
Lois: Smallville nice to see you back.
Perry: You two have met?
Lois: Yes chief we met through Chloe my cousin.
Perry: Of course that right. Anyway show Clark the ropes again and I am partnering you two up because of the articles you two in the past.
Clark: Thank Perry for the interview. Lois it's nice to see you too.
(Lois walked out in a huff with Clark following her. Finally Lois made it back to her desk then spoke her mind to Clark.)
Lois: Smallville I come back from missing a year later and find that Chloe is dead and you missing what's that about?
Clark: Lois it's complicated but what does it matter I am back. Also what happened to everyone was my fault and I regret it so don't harp on me about it.
Lois: Fine Smallville and what's with the glasses and oversize suit? At least it better than the flannel farmboy you used to wear.
Clark: Lois going for a new look. Thanks for the compliment. Anyway where is my desk?
Lois: You can take the empty on across from me. Oh and here's your old nameplate.
(Clark took his nameplate from Lois and then settled into the desk across from her.)
As Clark was getting settled Lois had a smirk because she felt it was nice to have him back. Also Lois felt she hit a sour note with Chloe and saw the regret in his eyes and so she backed off with that. Anyway it was going to be a long day for the new duo.
(Clark's POV)
Clark sat there at his desk wishing that Lois had not brought up the subject of Chloe his best friend but it needed to be said. Anyway it was nice to be back but all of a sudden he heard trouble so he made an excuse to leave quickly. Anyway that caught Lois attention with the same old Clark but she had a lead to follow and left. Kal-El flew into the building saving the people and then he heard more trouble heading near the Luthor Corp building. Within minutes Kal-El was at the Luthor building when he saw Lois in trouble so he went to save her. Kal-El flew in saving Lois from her car.
Kal-El: Don't worry I got you.
Lois: You got me but who's got you.
(Then Lois looked down a saw that they were on her apartment balcony.)
Kal-El: Here we are all safe on your balcony.
Lois: Thanks and will I see you around?
Kal-El: I'm always around.
(Kal-El: flew off.)
As Kal-El: flew off he looked back at Lois heading into her apartment for the night.
(Lois's POV)
As Lois headed back into her apartment she was in awe and her hope of a savior returned. She had thought not since the Red Blue Blur disappeared that there was hero that was so caring about people. Anyway Lois headed off to bed and needed a plan to get the first exclusive interview with this Superman which is what she call him and it needed to happen the next day.
The next day Lois got up and prepared for work. Within twenty minutes after getting ready she made it to work only to be called by Perry as soon as she made it on the floor. Finally she made it to Perry's office for the meeting.
Perry: Ok now that everyone is here we can get started. As most of you know yesterday a new hero appeared in Metropolis and I want the first interview to see what he stands for.
Lois: Perry' who do you want to cover it?
Perry: Lane you since he saved you yesterday
Lois: On it Chief.
(Lois left to head to her desk so she can figure out to get a hold of him. A few minutes after Lois left Clark appeared at his desk.)
Clark: Morning Lois.
Lois: Morning Smallville hey do you have any idea how I can get hold of this new hero?
Clark: Yes I do he just happens to be a friend of mine. What does Perry want an interview?
Lois: Yes and he asked me to cover it. Can you get a hold of him for an interview as soon as possible?
Clark: Sure and he find you.
(Lois watched as Clark ran off with another lame excuse. Lois got back to work following a lead that put her in a little trouble. Finally she was saved by the new hero and asked him for the interview saying that he will meet her that night. Lois finished her day and then prepared for the interview out on her balcony.)
Lois: Now it just time to wait until he get here.
Kal-El: Good evening Ms. Lane.
Lois: Good evening and shall we get started.
(Kal-El just sat across the table from Lois while Lois started the interview.)
Lois: First off what do I call you?
Kal-El: You can call me Kal-El.
Lois: Kal-El that interesting name would that have anything to do where you come from?
Kal-El: Yes it does Ms. Lane you see I am not from this planet. I am from the planet Krypton that was destroyed and that why I am here.
Lois: How did you arrive on this planet?
Kal-El: Well I was sent by ship before the planet exploded. My parents sent me here to protect this planet.
Lois: Ok what special abilities do you have other than the flying?
(Kal-El answered more questions and then took Lois for a flight around the city. Finally took her home and then headed off to do patrol.)
Lois headed back into the apartment to write the article and then made a call to Oliver. The next day she dropped of the article on Perry's desk and then in was published. Later the day Lois's article titled A Night with Superman, it made news. Now Superman made his stand for saving people under Truth, Justice, and the American way.
Chapter 4: Personal Matters
(Barbra's POV)
Two days after the debut of Superman Barbra Gordon was sitting in the Watchtower having a conversation with Dick Grayson her former boyfriend. Barbra and Dick have stayed friends despite their breakup but they were not talking the typical couple talk but talking hero duties. It was Oracle and Nightwing duties and how they were going to recruit Superman to help them out at her computer console..
Dick: Oracle I'm still at a loss how to get a hold of Superman?
Barbra: Nightwing I know that but you should really try to get a hold of Clark Kent because from what I read I hear he is a friend.
(Just at the moment Barbra hears a knock on the door.)
Barbra: Nightwing can I call you back later because I got company.
Dick: Sure Oracle keep me posted.
(Barbra closes down to the computer and then wheels to the door to open it finding Clark Kent.)
Clark: Hi I'm Clark Kent and you are?
Barbra: Barbra Gordon and it funny that you stopped by because a friend and I were just talking about you. Please come in.
(Clark stepped in for the first time in four years and was amazed how it looked. Then he turned to Barbra and asked.)
Clark: Really why would you want to talk to me?
Barbra: It about Superman helping out a group of hero's that is not involved with the Justice League run by Oliver.
Clark: Really Superman just debuted but he is willing to help. Anyway the reason I am here is more of a personal matter.
Barbra: I take it has to do with Chloe Sullivan who lived here before.
Clark: That be the person and I know she is dead but was wondering if there is any tie to her here?
(Barbra just wheeled her wheelchair over to a drawer and pulled out a letter for Clark.)
Barbra: Clark before I give you this I wanted to let you know that Chloe and I talked about a lot of things especially you.
Clark: Our relationship was always hard to explain and now I know I was always in love with her but I never get the chance to tell her.
Barbra: She was in love with you that why you she wanted me to give you this.
Clark: Thanks Barbra and if you have anyone special in your life don't let that person get away.
(Clark took the letter and headed out the door.)
Barbra watched Clark walk away as a hurt man but knew it was for the best. Also she was happy he agreed to help. The other thought came to her about the words he told her and she decided she really needed to talk to Dick about some things.
(Clark's POV)
As soon as Clark leaves the Watchtower he flies off in his Superman uniform. He flies to his apartment to open the letter. He makes it into his apartment, quickly changes, and then finally opens the letter.
---Clark, I know this is short but there is a reason for that because the key attached is to a safe deposit box that holds more detailed explanation. Chloe---
Clark takes the key and then closes the letter. Also he sits there for a little while and then finally gets up heading out the door to the bank. Ten minutes later Clark makes it to the bank withdrawing the contents of the box and then flies to Samllville to get a clear head. Also Clark knew that his mother was there since she retired but instead of going to her first he heads to the loft. Once in the loft he sits on the couch and starts opening the letters. The first letter is actually two so he starts reading.
---Clark, The first letter is a letter I wrote you in high school. I actually got a chance to read it to you shortly after I wrote it when you were sick but you called out 'Lana' when I was done so I ran away. Anyway we stayed friends and I cherished that but I was holding back feelings that are still the same today. Also over time I get the nagging feeling that you read this letter when I was infected with Brainiac I gave you some lame excuse that those feeling are not still there. That was when I was engaged to Jimmy and obviously after the infection was gone the feelings are still there. I love you and I will always. Chloe---
Clark closed that letter and then opened the other letter. Thinking she was right when he read it before and he reads it again.
---Clark, Iwant to let you in on a little secret, Clark. I'm not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I'm surprised you haven't seen right through me. I'm the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. Sometimes I want to rip off this façade like I did at the Spring Formal, but I can't because you'll get scared and run away again. So I decided that it's better to live with the lie than expose my true feelings. My dad told me there are two types of girls: the ones you grow out of, and the ones you grow into. I really hope I'm the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I'll let you go for now, hoping one day you'll fly back to me. Because I think you're worth the wait. Chloe---
Clark closed the letter feeling like an idiot because he knew those words was true. He also felt bad because his words and actions never agreed with each other. Back then he was so obsessed with Lana and never saw the person for him was right in front of him. Finally he decided to read the last letter.
---Clark, I know I always tease you about dwelling on things that happen and I guess that what I am doing now with the whole Davis fiasco. That was as much my fault as it was your fault but it was more my fault because I was holding things back from you. I'm sorry and now the event cost me my memory and it is slowly disappearing because of Black Kryptonite in time my memories will be completely gone. So that why I say Chloe Sullivan died when you or your ghost told me 'Clark Kent is dead.' So if I am alive living another life don't go searching for me. Chloe---
Finally that's when Clark broke down but also he knew she was alive and that all that mattered. Also he thought in time that her memories will come back eventually. Then he decided to go into the house talking to his mother letting her know that he is back.
(Martha's POV)
Martha Kent was in the kitchen when all of a sudden she heard the screen door open. So she took the pie out and then headed into the living room to see her son whom she had not seen in seven years. Also Martha saw the hurt in her son's eyes and just gave him a big hug. Finally after sometime they spoke as Martha gave him a piece of fresh baked pie.
Martha: Clark how did things go with training and everything?
Clark: Great but I still not sure about my superhero identity being in the public eye.
Martha: I know it was kind of a shock for me when I read the article. Leave it to Lois calling you Superman.
Clark: Hey she is Chloe Sullivan's cousin after Chloe found out my secret she would always call me Superboy so it is only fitting.
Martha: I take it you found out about Chloe?
Clark: Yes because when I arrived back in Metropolis two days ago Lois made an offhanded comment about her. Besides the reason things happened were my fault.
Martha: Clark why would you say that?
Clark: What if I told you Chloe is alive and that I realized I was in love with her all along?
Martha: I always known you were in love with her but are you sure she is alive?
(Clark handed his mother the letter while he finished the pie and some coffee. Martha read the letter and then spoke.)
Martha: Clark how could you?
Clark: I know and don't you think I have only myself to blame. I beat myself up to long for it and now I have to face the consequences of it.
Martha: You mentioned she is alive?
Clark: Mom she is but she is not the same person. You see after I completed my training in the fortress for a year and half I saw her. Jor-El warned me that my soul-mate had given up on humanity just as I did and then showed me her. Anyway I looked into the eyes of that person she is now and there is no recognition of the girl she used to be. She has forgotten everything about who she was.
Martha: Oh Clark that shocking but I always knew something was off about her death. Anyway what does she go by these days?
Clark: Cassandra Sandsmark and she been on the island of Themyscira among the Amazons. I know it sounds off because the Amazons are believed to be myth but it all but true. Just look at me and I am a living testament.
Martha: That is true but wow that amazing about Chloe she always did care about others. Clark you may never see her again so you need to move on with your life.
Clark: I know I just have to make one last stop then I need to head back to Metropolis for work.
(Clark got up giving his mom a hug and then left.)
As I watched my son go out the door I could not be me amazed about the man he grew into. Also I was surprised to learn that Chloe will always keep a special place in his heart. Finally I just hope that if I ever run into Cassandra Sandsmark that I can see the amazing woman she had become.
(Clark's POV)
Clark knew my mom was right that I needed to move on. I still needed to make one last stop to the graves of the two most important women that accepted me for all that I am. So I made it to the graveyard heading over to the two gravestones to say goodbye. First started with Alicia grave and put flowers to speak.
Clark: Hey Alicia sorry I haven't been by in so long but I thought I make a visit. You see I been away for a while but I have become a hero and hopefully stand for truth, justice, and the American way.
(Clark then turned to the grave next to Alicia's to see the name of his best friend on it. Finally he put flowers down and then spoke.)
Clark: Chloe I am so sorry for everything. Also I know you risked a lot because of my secret but I never expected things to turn out this way. I wish things could of have been different and I will live with the consequences of my actions for the rest of my life if I never see you again. I love you and I always will goodbye.
(Clark then left with a new lease on life.)
As Clark flew he needed to get back to Metropolis for patrol and a new day. Also he never loses hope that he will see Cassandra Sandsmark and find the girl he once knew. Finally telling her that he loves her and will never let her go again.
Chapter 5: Wonder Woman Debuts
(Cassie's POV)
Three months Cassandra Sandsmark is in Gotham at Wayne Manor. She had met Bruce Wayne when he accidently crashed on Themyscira so her and Donna had to convince the Amazons that he was no threat. After Cassie and Donna made their pleas toHippolyta agreed that he was no threat but however he must go back. So Cassie and Donna wanted to escort Bruce Wayne back to Man's World they were granted it on one condition they become champions. Donna Hippolyta's daughter became her champion but that still left Cassie out. Although Cassie did not remember her life as Chloe Sullivan through research it was discovered that Chloe was related to Zeus so Cassie agreed to become Champion of Zeus. Finally after becoming champions Cassie and Donna were able to escort Bruce back Cassie agreed to stay in Gotham and Donna went to New York City. So that leave Cassie where she is at now in Gotham with her boyfriend Bruce and now all of a sudden she was brought out of her thoughts when arms were being wrapped around her waiste.
Cassie: Bruce how did you sleep?
Bruce: Good and are you lost in your thoughts again?
Cassie: Yes but I was also thinking about the fundraiser tonight.
Bruce: I know you are nervous because it is your first fundraiser but you will be fine.
Cassie: I know but I still get the feeling that something is going to go wrong.
Bruce: Me to but it hosted by Bruce Wayne and these things happen all the time.
(Bruce gave her a kiss and then left to get ready.)
Cassie watched Bruce go still with a look of concern because she had read about the criminals of Gotham. Also she knew he was Batman and Batman was the biggest target among the criminals. Anyway Cassie had to worry about what she was going to do since she is staying. Now she needed to get ready herself.
(Lana's POV)
Lana and Pete Ross had arrived at Wayne Manor an hour early because Lana was very pregnant. Pete opened the car door for me after we got through the gate we headed up the steps. Finally we knocked on the door and gorgeous blond woman answers but what strikes me is that the face looks exactly like Chloe Sullivan's face and I almost passed out but was caught by me husband. She let's Pete take me to the couch and then she told Pete to go get a first aid kit. Then she spoke in a Greek accent to ask if I was ok.
Cassie: Mrs. Ross are you sure you are really ok?
Lana: Please call me Lana and yes I am ok. It just your face reminds me of an old high school friend that died four years ago.
Cassie: It looks like Lana your husband had the same reaction. Anyway I am Cassandra Sandsmark or Cassie for short.
Lana: Ok Cassie and what part of Greece are you from?
(Before Cassie could answer Pete had just come back with the first aid kit. Cassie told him to take it back, get a glass of water for his wife instead and when he came back they all sat down to talk.)
Cassie: Listen Mr. Ross I am sorry for all this and it just I am new in America not used to the culture.
Pete: Please call me Pete and it is ok it just that you look like an old friend of ours Chloe Sullivan.
Cassie: That is what your wife just said. Anyway Pete I am Cassandra Sandsmark or just call me Cassie.
Pete: Nice to meet you Cassie and I was wondering if Bruce is around so I can talk to him about something?
Cassie: Sure Bruce is in the study which is down the hall and to your left but if you get lost just ask Alferd to help you.
(Pete went off leaving Lana and Cassie to continue talking.)
Cassie: To answer your question it an island outside of Athens called Themyscira. Before you say anything about it being a myth I understand but it true it does exists.
Lana: Trust me with the things that happened in my life it not surprising. Anyway how long have you been in Gotham?
Cassie: A week give or take. How far along are you?
Lana: Nine months.
Cassie: Now I understand why you came early. It looks like Pete and Bruce are coming this way.
(Pete and Bruce came over joining the girls for some more talk and then more guest came.)
Lana watched as Cassie to join Bruce as the greeted more guest like Dinah and Oliver and Lois and Clark. She found it interesting that Cassie body had the same reaction to Clark as it did with Pete saying Chloe Sullivan's name so there was only one thing to figure out. That thing to figure out is that this Cassandra Sandsmark is the one and only Chloe Sullivan. Finally Lana thought, 'that this Cassie speak American English to well to be in America for a week and also the face is exactly like Chloe's.' Now is the time to go join everyone at the fundraiser so Lana got up and joined.
(Cassie's POV)
Cassie, "geez what a long day first I am worried that something going to happen tonight. Second Lana Ross almost passes out because of my face. Finally I see the flying man that I saw a little over two and half years ago." Well we better get the fundraiser started. So Cassie walked over to mingle with some of the guest.
Cassie: Bruce are you sure everything going to be ok because I know that look?
Bruce: Yes I can handle Selina Kyle if she shows up.
Cassie: What Selina Kyle which villain is she again?
Bruce: Catwoman the thief but she is not all that bad although they may be misguided.
Cassie: True I read about that anyway I am going to mix with more of the guest.
(Cassie went to mix with more of the guests. She saw Oliver and Dinah in the corner decided to talk to them.)
Cassie: Mr. Queen and Ms. Lance it good to see you tonight.
Oliver: Please call us Oliver and Dinah miss?
Cassie: Sorry about that I am Cassandra Sandsmark just call me Cassie.
Dinah: Nice accent Cassie where are you from?
Cassie: Greece and thanks for the compliment. If you are thinking that my face looks familiar you are not the only ones to have that reaction.
Oliver: How did you know that? Wait between Clark, Lois, Lana, and Pete who all knew Chloe Sullivan it no wonder.
Cassie: Yes but you guys have a good night.
(Cassie then left to go over to other guests but she got the feeling again. All of a sudden knockout gas seeped through vents everyone fell unconscious except for a few. Finally before the gas cleared Cassie changed into her costume and then two figures appeared.)
Cassie: What do we owe this pleasure Catwoman?
Selina: And you might be?
Cassie: Just call me Wonder Woman. Again what so we owe this pleasure?
Selina: I am doing a favor for a friend David Cain you see his daughter here needs a safe place to stay for a while I thought no better place than Wayne Manor.
Cassie: So you had to pull this stunt on dear old Brruce.
Selina: Yes nothing better for an old friend and it true this little girl Cassandra Cain needs a place to stay but she can't talk, read, or write due to her father training her as an assassin since she was born.
Cassie: Fine she can stay but you must go back to Arkam but I warn you if you harmed anyone with this stunt I won't be this nice next time Catwoman.
(Cassie watched Catwoman with the girl saying goodbye and then the little girl went to Wonder Woman arms. After some time Jim Gordon took Catwoman back to Arkam.)
After the rest of the gas cleared thanks to Superman being on standby people started to wake up. Lois was the first helping Wonder Woman getting people out. All left Except Lois, Clark, Lana, and Pete because it was too late to head back home. Finally Cassie was concerned for Lana because the gas had a ill effect on her pregnancy. So Cassie offered guests rooms for the guest and went to change still holding the little girl.
(Lois's POV)
Lois sat on the couch watching as Cassie in her superhero identity walking with that little girl. All of a sudden she had a flash of her cousin Chloe Sullivan holding a little girl in the same manner. Also she thought something up with the Cassandra Sandsmark because the face is an exact match to Chloe's but he cousin told her not to go digging into anything. Finally she was distracted by sting hand on her shoulders.
Lois: Smallville how did everything go?
Clark: Good Superman cleared gas all out in time.
Lois: Good to hear. Anyway how is Lana?
Clark: She good she is getting settled in her room with Pete. How are you tonight because I know you felt a little uneasy seeing Oliver and Dinah here together?
Lois: Smallville I am fine besides that water under the bridge. Anyway it just I get the feeling that I know Cassandra Sandsmark.
Clark: I know to but she just an easy going person and new superhero on the rise.
Lois: Yes that is true and that little girl going to need support. Let's head to our room tonight.
(Lois and Clark headed to their room for the night.)
Still Lois could not shake the feeling that Cassie is Wonder Woman and might possibly be her supposed dead cousin. Finally if this is true this woman does not remember who she was in the past but why?
For those of you who read my stories before here is a new one on my mind. I like some feed back because this is my second crossover. Please review
