It appears the I read my chapter list wrong, Spell wont be until Chapter Eight. So this chapter will be set during Transference.
Chapter Six Part One- Offers and Switches:
Professor Raymond's hands trekked across the whiteboard delivering notes to his students who repeated what was written onto their laptops or their notebooks, "Journalism is a foundation built on truth, we are responsible for giving the people the truth about what's going on around them." the professor turns towards his class to continue his lecture, "When you start working for papers like the Daily Planet, New York Times, or even the Met U Gazette. It is important to never forget the most important thing in journalism…always tell the truth, no matter how hard it hurts those involved."
With the end of this lecture came the bell, the students flocked out the lecture doorway except for Lois, who was finishing the rest of her notes oblivious to the stares from both her professor and Richard White.
"Ms. Lane, I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time." Professor Raymond calls out before she could close her notebook and head off with the rest of the class, "I've read some of your articles in the Gotham Gazette and Smallville Ledger, your very talented despite the typos and grammatical errors."
Lois gave a small smile while she rose to her feet nervously, "I just wrote whatever they gave me."
"Still, you got a one on one interview with Bruce Wayne and managed to report about the important things even when you were behind the desk of a high school newspaper." he says impressed while he pauses, "There's an opening for an internship at the Daily Planet and since your one of my best students, I thought that I'd set up an interview with the editor for tomorrow."
"That's great news, Mr. Raymond. But what about Richard, he's been your assistant longer then I've been your student."
The middle aged man chuckled at her response, "Richard's been working for his Uncle at the Daily Planet for a couple years now, he's the one that recommended you for the internship."
Her head turned towards Richard with surprise present in her eyes as he sported a small smile and shrugged, "So what's your answer, Ms. Lane? Are you ready to take the next step towards your future?" Professor Raymond extends his hand towards her with a hopeful smile on his face.
It took only a millisecond to register what had just happened…then she accepted his offer.
Wood posts were slammed one by one into the soil of the Kent farm, all the thoughts in Clark's head were soon locked away with the sweet release of letting go on rebuilding and rewiring the fences in the back forty.
It had been a month since he had discovered the manuscript in Lex's office and the mysterious map hidden beneath the page, the same map that had possible connections to the stones Jor-El had sent him after as Kal-El.
He was hopeful that the date with Lois tonight would ease his mind about the internal struggle within, of course to her this really wasn't a date…more of a fly date which ended up with him having to fix a piece of the barn the next day after another disastrous attempt at flying.
Speaking of the intrepid college bound reporter, his phone began to vibrate and he was quick to answer, "Hello?"
"Hey Handsome, you ready to learn how to fly?" Lois smiles walking down the busy campus of Met U.
Clark leaned his arm against the post with a huge smile, "As ready as I'll ever be…" he paused to look around before asking, "What if instead of a flight lesson, you wear that red dress that I know you have hidden in the back of your closet and I wear that suit that you find sexy…and I'll speed us to New York."
She couldn't help but smile at the romantic offer, "I'd like a romantic dinner with my hot super powered boyfriend like any other girl, but if you ever want to find those stones then you've got to learn how to fly." she noticed Richard racing towards her and cut off Clark before he could respond, "I'll let you think it over, but I've got to go." she hung up.
Clark frowned and spoke softly, "Bye" he flipped his phone shut and slipped it into his pocket before heading back to work.
Several hours later, the final post was slammed into the dirt leaving Clark to walk towards the spool of barbwire ready to re-fence the posts until a painful hum reached his ears causing the young kryptonian to his knees in pain.
"Clark!" Jonathan jumped from the tractor rushing to aid his son, "What's wrong?"
The humming stopped, "I-I don't…" he responds only to be cut off by another painful hum, "I've got to go…" with quick speed and a small gust of wind Clark disappeared before his concerned father's eyes.
Seconds later, Clark arrived at the Metropolis Penitentiary and spotted the dark stone in Lionel's hand as he reached towards Lex with a hidden smirk on his face.
"Lex!" Clark calls out rushing towards them only to have Lionel grab his hand…
The stone glowed with a bright light and all the feeling of being ripped from his body spread throughout him as a bright yellow and sickly green essences of both men danced around each other until they were knocked back to the ground.
When he awoke, the guards were hauling him up and practically dragging him back towards the cells, confusion turned to clarity when he stared back at his own body now inhabited by Lionel Luthor.
'This cant be happening to me.'
TBC…
I'm gonna try and not make the body switched Lionel and Clark confused so when you see either of their names in italics then that means its Lionel as Clark and Clark as Lionel. I should also warn that there might be some scenes that will probably gross you out (preferably with some Lionel as Clark and Lois scenes).
