Smallville at Twilight

Chapter Two

I felt him behind me before he grabbed my hair from the vomit that was coming out of my mouth. Bart looked the other way while I puked. I really didn't want him to watch this but I couldn't say the words because my mouth was otherwise preoccupied at the moment.

When I finally stopped Bart let go of my hair and in a flash there was a glass cup of water was next to me.

"Thanks." I muttered to him.

He nodded in response.

I drank the water which left a nasty aftertaste in my mouth but other than that I was fine.

"Sorry you had to see that." I whispered to Bart.

"S'okay." He said before he pulled me into a hug and rested his head on top of mine.

"Hey lovebirds!" Arthur called making us jump away from each other. "Come back in here!"

We walked back into the room hand in hand and resumed our spot on the couch.

"Bella," Oliver said staring directly at me. "You know something." He declared.

"I can't." I said shocking them all. "As much I want to…I can't I promised I wouldn't tell anyone."

"Is this man a metahuman or meteor freak or Kyptonian?" Chloe asked.

"Neither." I whispered.

"Well then what is it? Because it sure as hell isn't like me." John said.

"I can't tell you but I can tell you they're not like any of us." I responded

"Wait. You just said they. There's more?" Victor asked.

"Yes but I only know a few of them." I hated that I couldn't tell them but I had to protect the Cullen's no matter how things ended between him and I.

"Can we have a name at least?" Dinah asked sounded frustrated.

I shook my head no.

"Why not?" Bart asked me.

I stared into his eyes.

"Because they were my friends just like me and you guys. And things may have not have ended the way I liked but…if it was one of you guys would you tell someone else about the others?" I asked in return.

Everyone kept glancing at one another uncomfortable about my question.

"Exactly." I huffed and crossed my arms.

"But Bella," Oliver said uneasily. "What if they come after us? What if they're a threat?"

"They're not." I said.

"But if they are?" Clark asked leaning forward in his seat.

"You're just going to have to trust me on this one. They are not a threat." I said shaking my head slowly. "If we leave them alone then they leave us alone."

I heard rounds of 'fines' from everyone.

"Thank you." I said sincerely to them all.

"But if they attack," John stated. "We are going to defend ourselves, Bella."

"I know." I whispered.

"So…," Bart drawled out I think trying to move on from the serious conversation. "Is someone going to make the food or were we suppose to eat before we came here?"

I heard a few chuckle but other than that nothing change much.

"Um…I didn't eat either." Aurther admitted.

"So…are we going to order out or are the ladies making dinner?" Bart asked.

I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Ow babe! That hurt. How about a kiss to make the searing pain go away?" He asked dramatically.

I heard a few groans but I ignored them and kissed him. It was always nice kissing Bart. He tasted like a mixture of cheetos and coke. My fingers intertwined with his curly brown hair and his hands went to my hips trying to pull me closer. This was one of the many reasons I liked Bart. He was willing to get physical with me and I loved it.

"Get a room!" I heard someone mutter. Oliver.

I broke away from Bart and found that most of everyone had left into some other room in Oliver's apartment.

"Why can't we have this one?" Bart asked with a boyish smile on his face.

"Because this is the room with the biggest flat screen." Arthur said like it was obvious and then he turned on the TV to watch nothing other than Family Guy.

I glanced over to Bart only to have him shrug at me and then turn his attention to the TV. Bart did love to watch Family Guy and he somehow got me to like it too. So for a half an hour I watched and laughed with him and the team.

I heard the elevator ding to a stop so I turned toward the elevator only to see Jimmy walk through with about five boxes of pizza.

"My savoir!" Bart yelled.

Bart got the hugest smile on his face and in less than a split second he was in front of Jimmy. Then he grabbed a box from Jimmy and then before I could blink he was next to me with his box of pizza.

"So…I brought pizza?" Jimmy's voice sounded a bit shocked and surprised but he got over it.

"Yeah you did!" Bart said as he raised his pizza and taking a bite but never looking away from the TV.

"Thank you Jimmy." I said as I picked a slice form Bart's box.

"You're welcome." Jimmy said.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jimmy put the remaining pizzas in the kitchen. When it was commercial everyone but Bart and me went into the kitchen to grab pizza and were back in here in time for South Park to be on.

When most of the pizza was gone and South Park was over I got up.

"Where you going?" Bart asked me grabbing my arm.

"As much fun as this was I have homework and school and work and stuff tomorrow." I told them.

Oliver stood up after I finished. "And I think it's time we start to get to our night jobs everyone."

When I had asked Bart what Oliver meant by night jobs a few months back he meant it was time for them to suit up and start patrolling the streets.

Bart groaned and got up. He put his arm around my shoulder.

"I'm gonna walk you home." Bart whispered in my ear.

I nodded.

"Hey Chloe." I called to her. She was curled up in Jimmy side.

"Yeah?" Chloe asked.

"I'm going to walk back home." I told her.

She nodded and headed to the elevator with Jimmy by her side holding her hand. I saw that Clark was nowhere to be seen so he must have run home to get suited up. John must have gone home because Oliver's balcony was open so he was flying home most likely to get suited up for the night. That left Chloe, Jimmy, Bart, Arthur, Victor, Dinah and me to take the elevator. We all squeezed in it. Leaving little personal space but then again I didn't have that with Bart's arm around my waist now. No one really talked so it was eerily quiet making me uncomfortable.

When the elevator dinged indicating that we had made it to the lobby I heard someone sigh in relief. Not caring who it was we walked out of the elevator one by one. Bart and I walked out of the apartment building holding hands. We walked a few blocks without saying a word just enjoying each other's company. I only saw a few people along the way but then who walks around at nearly eleven at night?

"This is nice." I said.

"What is?" Bart asked me.

"Us."

Bart chuckled quietly. "Yes then I suppose it is nice." He said.

I sighed.

We lapsed back into out silence. It was nice. I didn't have the need the fill it. And before I knew it we were standing in front of Watchtower.

"I swear, Bart, if you die I will kick your ass." I told him.

"You say that a lot." He said.

"Because it's true."

"I'm going to take you out to a nice dinner tomorrow night." He declared.

"If you don't die that is."

"Whatever. Just please say you're free." He pleaded.

"I'm free."

"Good. I have to go soon before I get yelled at by everyone else."

"Okay." I sighed.

Bart tipped up my chin and kissed me. It started out slow but quickly turned into fast, passionate, and lustful. My fingers were twined in his curly hair. Bart had one hand wrapped around my waist and the other cupping my face. He pulled away after a few minutes.

"Now I really need to go before I forget why I have to." He whispered.

"Okay. Be safe." I told him. Bart turned around and before I could blink again he was out of sight.

I woke up when my phone was buzzing on my night stand. I accepted the call without looking to see who it was. I was still sleepy from staying up until three in the morning doing homework.

"Hello?" I grumbled into the phone.

"Hey Sweet cheeks." I heard him whisper into the phone.

"Thank God you're alive Bart." I sighed.

"You worry over nothing. No one can catch me. I'm too fast." Bart said his voice filled with frustration. "Besides that's not why I called. You know how I told you I was going to take you to dinner tonight?" He asked.

"Yeah?" I answered with caution.

"You're still free?"

"Bart no offence but I really don't think my plans would change in less that twelve hours. Besides we haven't had a real date in like a month."

"Yeah that's why I'm takin' you out. A woman like you should be treated like a queen." He said his voice filled with sincerity.

I snorted. "I think other people would beg to differ."

"Do you doubt me?" He teased.

"Maybe." I said slyly.

"Well don't because it's the truth."

And the truth hurts. I finished in my head.

"So we're going out tonight?" I asked him.

"Yes we are. I'll pick you up at six, okay?"

"Of course."

"Okay. I'll see you then." He murmured.

"Bye." I whispered before I hung up.

I glanced at my alarm clock by my bed and noticed I only had an hour before I had to get to my first class.

"Shit!" I whispered before I ran to the bathroom.

I think I took the fastest shower known to mankind. My hair would just have to air dry today. I brushed my teeth and threw on some clothes without really seeing what I was wearing. I clutched my class work I would need today and dashed out the apartment without even seeing Chloe or Jimmy.

I marched through the apartment door. Other than the fact that I was almost late to class today things had gone pretty well. I only had to work for a few hours today because Carlos's wife went into labor earlier so Carlos shut down the book store before he and his wife jetted off to the hospital.

I still had an hour and a half before my date with Bart. I strolled upstairs to take a long deserved shower but before I could get all the way to my room I saw Chloe pass me and boy did she look worried.

"Hey cuz'. What's the rush?" I asked grasping her elbow to make her come to a complete stop.

"Nothing." She said with a wave of dismissal.

I shrugged it off because if it was really important Chloe wouldn't be holding anything out.

I was in and out of the shower in less than ten minutes later. I put on some light make up seeing how I was about to go on a date. I slid on jeans because even though I was going on a date it was November in Kansas. I ran around my room looking for a shirt that would go with it with my phone buzzed.

I see you wearing a red top ~A.

Alice was right.

In the end I was wearing the red top Bart loved on me. It was just a normal red v three quarter shirt. I put on the Ugg boots that I had gotten me when I first moved in. They were comfortable enough. I still had twenty minutes until Bart was supposed to pick me up. So I pack my wallet, my phone, and anything else I would need into the one purse I owned.

Twelve minutes to go.

I went downstairs to wait. And when I few minutes passed I started pacing. My phone started ringing so I quickly grabbed it out of my purse before the fourth ring. What surprised me most was that the caller id said that it was Alice calling.

"Alice?" I said confused to why she was calling me now of all times. I mean she knew I had a date she helped me pick out the shirt.

"Hey Bella!" She squeaked into the phone.

"Hey yourself. Um…Alice?" I asked.

"Hmm?" she responded. She sounded like someone was trying to say something to her also.

"No offense but why are you calling?" I questioned.

"Bella since I saw you last night I can't see you…at all." She murmured.

I froze. "What…what do you mean you can't see me? Isn't that impossible?" I asked slightly hysterical.

"I know!" Alice squeaked. "I thought you were dead or something!"

"Has this every happened before?" I asked.

"No. Well…"

"Well…what?" I said requested an answer.

"Werewolves." She sighed.

"What about werewolves?" I asked cautiously.

Jake…

"The only things I know that can block my…sight are werewolves." She explained.

"But I'm not around any werewolves." Right now…

"Look Bella just…know who you're with okay. Like really know, okay?"

"Of course Alice." I said with relief. I glanced at the clock on the wall. Bart would be here any minute. "Hey Alice I have to go."

"Hot date?" She joked. I don't really think she meant it more so as a joke but who was I not to tell Alice that I was back into the dating field.

"Umm actually…yes."

There was silence on the other end of the phone. I counted to thirty before I said anything.

"Umm… Alice you still there?" I asked timidly.

"You're dating someone?" She whispered.

"Ummm…yeah?" It came out more as a question than an answer.

"But you said you weren't last night!" She wailed into the phone.

I shank away from the tone of her voice and the loudness of it.

"No you asked if I was dating Oliver. And I'm not. I'm dating…" I kind of trailed off afraid that saying Bart's name would stir up a fight.

"You dating….?" She inquired. I could just picture her waving her hand in a circle leaning over slightly.

"A guy named Bart Allen." I sighed.

"And how old is he?" Alice growled at me.

"He's only like a year older than me Alice." I said getting frustrated.

"A year!" she gasped. "Why would you date someone who's a year older than you?" she scolded.

"Well at least he wasn't born in 1901!" I snapped at her before I snapped the friggin' phone shut.

I minute later I was feeling guilty as hell. I shouldn't have snapped at Alice about Edward.

And there goes your chance about hanging out with the Cullen's again.

Shut up.

Great now I'm hearing voices in my mind.

~*~*~*~*~*Thirty Minutes Later~*~*~*~*~*

Where was Bart? It had been a half an hour and he still wasn't here. Well if he wasn't coming here then I was going to find him.

I marched in the apartment for Chloe or Jimmy.

"Chloe!" I screeched in to the apartment.

"What!" She shrieked back.

"Can I have the car keys!" I yelled.

"Whatever." She bellowed.
I grabbed the car keys form the bowl that was by the front door of the apartment. I rushed into the friggin' car and headed for Bart's apartment. It took me about five minutes to reach the fornt door. I hopped out of the car and was welcomed by the doorman, Barry.

"Hello Ms. Swan." Barry said with a smile as he held the door wide open for me.

I smiled back. "Hey Barry. Is Bart still here?"

"He has not left as far as I know."

Great then he could be anywhere.

"Thanks Barry." I called to him while heading to the elevator.

When the elevator dinged signaling my arrival I was greeted by no one.

"Bart Allen!" I yelled.

"In here!" I heard him call from his bedroom.

I walked into his bedroom only to find his shirtless back to me. And what a nice back it was. Perfectly toned and muscled. Only did I now notice that he was pulling on his superhero shirt on.

"Where the heck are you going?"I asked with my arms crossed.

"I got a call from Oliver he wants me to go out on the field tonight." He responded without turning around.

"And what about our date that you planned?" I asked pissed off.

He finally turned around with a confused expression on his face. Then he looked me up and down.

"Shit." He said with realization dawning on his face. "That's right."

"Yeah it is." I said moving to sit on his bed.

"I forgot." He revealed.

"I bet you did." I muttered.

"Look why don't you stay here tonight so at least we can spend some time together in the morning." He said.

"Bart you'll be tired when you get back."

"No I won't I'll be back by two, I promise."

"Fine I stay." He looked pleased and wagged his eyebrows at me. "But we're not doing anything."

His face fell but brighten after a second.

"At least I'll get to say you were in my bed tonight."

I smiled for the first time since I got here. He quickly got the rest of his things on. Then Bart leaned down to kiss me. It wasn't longer any than thirty seconds but it was a great thirty seconds.

"I'll see you in the morning." Bart sighed.

"Bye." He left out the bedroom door with one last glance at me. "And make sure you kick some butt for me!" I yelled after him.

"Always!" he bellowed.

I head the front door slam shut telling me he was gone.

I sighed.

It's hard sometimes dating a superhero…but so worth it too…

I called Chloe telling her that I was staying at Bart's tonight and she told me to be safe. Like Bart and I were going to do anything, please.

We never did anything when I stayed the night. It was kind of like an unspoken rule we had. Yeah sure we had some pretty hot make out session but nothing ever came of it.

I had a few of my things here such as a few of my books because I was here so often. Bart didn't seem to mind when I left things here. He actually encouraged me to.

There were always pros and cons in dating Bart.

I helped myself to Bart's food and left some of what I made in the fridge for when Bart got home. I tried to watch TV but got bored with it. I did happen to read some of a book I had left here and when I noticed the time it was already ten and I was tired from today. So I took a shower in Bart's and even used his shampoo. Just so I could smell like him later. I curled up in Bart's bed. It smelled just like him.

Today was weird…

Completely true. From Carlos's wife going into labor to my... tiff with Alice to somehow not going on a date with Bart but staying the night. Completely and utterly true.

So there you have it. Chapter two of Smallville at Twilight.

I think you guys should know that I'll only be updating each of my stories once a month because four stories at once is kicking my butt. So I made a promise to myself to update each of my stories once a month. Just like your period.

And I did not edit this chapter so any mistakes are completely my fault.

Until next month,
