Chapter 6 - Clark, meet Clark!
Clark had just left work when he got a call from Barry asking him to meet him and Diana at his apartment. Knowing it would have been something important for Barry to call, he rushed back home, only to see Kara sitting on the stairway next to the door.
"Kara? What are you doing here?"
"Hey! Barry called," she said with a shrug.
"You too? Did he say why? He didn't say much, just asked me to meet him here," Clark explained as he pulled out his key and opened the door. Clark removed his jacket and undid his tie and dumped it over the couch.
"Something to drink?" he asked his cousin, making his way into the kitchen.
"Do you have iced tea?" Kara asked, making herself comfortable on the couch.
"I'm sure I can make som—" Clark stopped himself when he felt someone flying towards the house. Kara was looking at the balcony too. A few seconds later, Barry ran in and plopped on the couch next to Kara, giving her a loud kiss on the cheek.
"Miss me, baby?" Barry asked with a huge grin.
"Hey! Why did you call us here?" Kara asked before giving him a quick peck.
Barry sat back and pointed towards the balcony. Clark who had come out to greet Barry also turned towards the balcony, staring as Diana landed but with a stranger flying in after her.
"Hey Di! Who is that?" Clark asked as the other guy stepped in.
"Kal, darling," Diana started, stepping in between both Clarks. "Why don't we all take a seat and then I can explain what is going on?"
"I'm not sitting and neither is he!" Clark said, a frown marring his face. He had already scanned the guy's DNA and was surprised to find that he was a Kryptonian too. Kara had noticed the same and she was getting up.
"Kryptonian?" she asked, looking him up and down. "I thought we were the last of our kind!"
"Exactly!" Barry spoke instead of the man. "Guys, you are the last of your kind, just like this man here. The only difference is that you come from different earths. A different dimension altogether. Kara, Clark, meet Clark Kent from Earth 2 or some other earth that we are yet to determine."
"Clark?" Kara asked in surprise. "But you don't look anything like our Clark!"
Clark 2 turned to her and nodded. "If it helps, you look nothing like my cousin Kara, either."
"If you are from a different earth, why are you here?" Clark asked, moving towards the stranger, now more curious than wary.
"I don't really know. I was fighting Metallo one minute," Clark 2 started explaining. "And the next, Diana and I were pulled into a black hole of sorts. A breach to your world, I suppose."
"If you're speaking the truth, then where is she? Where is your Diana?" Clark asked, eyes narrowing as the other Clark looked at his Diana when he asked the question.
"Here," Clark 2 said, giving Diana a brilliant smile.
"Hey! She's not your Diana! She belongs here. In this world, with me!" Clark's eyes were turning red quickly. He only calmed down when he felt Diana's hand on his chest, right over his heart. He looked down at her, his eyes turning back to the brilliant cerulean blue she knew and loved. "Di, what is going on?"
"Kal, why don't you sit down? We have all the time in the world to talk about this," Diana spoke calmly. When she turned to face the other Clark, she saw him eyeing the bottle of water on the kitchen counter. That's when it hit her that he might not have had anything to eat or drink since he arrived to this world. Excusing herself, she walked to the kitchen and poured him a glass of water.
Clark 2 stared at her, his eyes never straying away from her even once. When she gave him the glass of water, he gratefully thanked her and finished it in one gulp. This made Diana smile a small smile before handing him the whole bottle. Clark watched the whole exchange with a scowl, but didn't stop her, because he wasn't that bad. Even he could see the man in front of him needed water. Barry and Kara just watched, unsure about what to say.
Barry, who had been sitting quietly next to Kara, stood up. "Hey! Let me go get pizzas. You have any preference, Clark 2?"
"Do you have to call me that?" The other Clark asked with a slight smile on his face. "Double cheese margherita, thanks."
Diana and Kara's eyes snapped towards Clark, who simply shrugged. Yes, that was how he liked his pizza too.
"Alright, I'll be back soon!" Saying that, Barry zoomed off.
Feeling the uncomfortable silence that fell after Barry left, Kara tried to figure out what to say to break the tension. But before she could say a word, Barry ran back in carrying six huge boxes of pizza.
"That was fast!" Clark 2 exclaimed, making Kara roll her eyes at Barry.
"He went back in time to order the pizzas and grabbed them on his way back here," Kara explained.
"You're no fun!" Barry moaned before placing the boxes on the table.
Dinner was quick and seeing as they were all metas, they needed a lot of calories compared to any human. Diana was the only one who bothered to use a plate, the others were happy with their boxes. Once dinner was over, Kara and Barry decided to head home. Kara gave her cousin a quick hug and whispered to him that they would figure out something soon. He gave her a grateful smile and waved goodbye.
Once they left, Diana had managed to get some of Clark's old t-shirts and sweatpants for the other Clark. She could feel her Kal's disapproval heavy in the air, even though he was just sitting quietly on the couch, watching her interact with Clark 2.
"You can use the shower in the guest bedroom. I'll see if I can find some more clothes for you, if not, we can always get them tomorrow," Diana said before showing Clark 2 the guest bedroom.
He thanked her and walked inside to take a shower. When Diana returned to the drawing room, she saw Clark pouting slightly. "You aren't taking him shopping! I'll do it myself."
Diana gave him a charming smile before taking a seat next to him. She kissed his cheek before saying, "I'm glad you want to help him."
Clark gave her a strained smile. Anything to keep him away from you, he thought, before bending down to give her a chaste kiss. Clark could hear the other guy turning off the shower and stepping out. This didn't stop him, instead he licked her lower lip, sliding his tongue in, deepening the kiss, all the while running his hands over her back and tangling them in her dark luscious locks.
"HEY! Stop frenching my girl!" Came a loud voice followed by a rough tug on Clark's arm, pulling him away from Diana.
"She's MY girlfriend! You stay away from us!" Clark almost growled out, charging at him.
"Both of you, stop acting like adolescents!" Diana called loudly, making them both stop. "We are all in a difficult situation. It is not easy for any of us! I wish you would behave till we find a solution."
"Sorry, Di!" Both Clarks said simultaneously and then ended up glaring at each other. Both of them turned to face each other and frowned. "Don't call her Di!"
"Alright!" Diana's voice rose several decibels. "I'm going to bed, I suggest you both go to sleep as well. You have to go buy some clothes for Clark, right, Kal?"
"Why does he have to come along?" Clark 2 grimaced.
"Because I have work to do, Clark. And Kal is free to take you out shopping. Anyway, good night."
"Where do I sleep?" Clark 2 called after her.
"There's a guest bedroom and a couch. Choose whatever you want," Diana replied, before walking into her room. Clark followed her quietly, quickly pulling his t-shirt over his head.
"Where do you think you're going?" He turned around to see the other guy glaring at him. "Unless you prove she is not my Diana, you stay away from her, you hear me!"
"Hey! She is my Diana! I don't have to prove anything to anyone! And yes, I will sleep in the bed with her… and do more!"
"Kal! Please don't make it harder than it is. Both of you leave this room this instance. I don't care where you sleep. Just don't annoy me!" Saying that, Diana pushed the two out of the room and slammed the door close before they could say anything.
Both Clarks looked at each other before realization kicked in. Sighing, they rushed to the guest room, shoving each other away till they landed on the bed at the same time.
"Get off the bed!" Clark said pushing the other guy away, who kicked him in return. After five minutes of shoving each other around, they finally stopped.
Clark 2 grabbed two pillows and placed them in the middle. "That's your side! Don't you dare come to my side!"
"This is my house, go sleep on the damn couch!" Clark sneered before pulling a pillow from him.
"This is my Diana's house, either I sleep here or in her room. With her!"
Clark glared at him before turning around and lying down. Sleep didn't come that easily to him. The man next to him snored. Loudly. Clark lay awake for a while and waited till Clark 2 was deep asleep. Once he was sure the man wasn't waking up any time soon, Clark sneaked out of the room and headed straight to his room.
Diana slept peacefully, tangled in between the silk sheets. Thank Rao she had worn a t-shirt. Clark didn't want the other guy seeing something he shouldn't. Moving the sheet away, he slid into the bed and wrapped his arm around Diana, pulling her closer. Diana snuggled into him in her sleep and soon Clark lost himself to peaceful sleep as well.
