It was originally written by Dragonball X Avalon, and now is cowritten by myself the "Countinuerofstories1987" I own nothing. Clark/Deanna Romance.
~Conclusion~
Alaska, USA.
Clark, and Deanna fell to the ground in a pile holding tightly to one another as the gateway shut behind them. They looked at one another in relief, and then passion overwhelmed them both as the realization that they were together once more, and out of that god forsaken place forever became apparent.
Deanna's arms encircled Clark around the neck pulling him to her in a hungry yet desperate way.
She needed him; Needed him to never leave her she held him close never wanting to let go.
In the meantime Clark had one arm over her shoulder pressing her to him as his other arm in encircled her waist holding her in place as his lips caressed her neck ever so slowly working their way to her lips.
She let out a low moan as his lips came to the top of her neck. She gently took hold of his face pulling it up to where she could look him straight in the eyes smiling all the while.
"I love you Clark." She said in a soft husky whisper.
"And I you Deanna." He said barely audible.
Then he leaned foreward, and kissed her while she held the side of his face in her hand. The kiss was tender at first; Pecking lightly on the lips, and then slowly pulling back to lick her lips in a slow seductive way that sent her heart racing. He'd then kiss her again, and repeat the process countinuely. After doin this several more time she could not take it any longer; She released his face from her grip, and wrapped her arms around his neck in a violent, and yet passionate kiss that last what seemed like for an eternity. Their tounges inter mingled with each other as the kisses became more, and more passionate. Finally the came up for air, and Clark felt a shiver run through his lover. She looked at him with confusion.
"Clark why is there snow on the ground?" She said in bewillderment.
He looked at her in confusion. She was right, Why was there snow on the ground? After all the gateway should have taken them back to Smallville. He tilled his head to one side away from her, his brow furrowed in confusion because for miles around there was nothing but ice, and snow on the ground.
Then 6,000 miles away he heard voices talking in Alaskan. But that can't be right...? He turned back to Deanna still a look of confusion on his face.
"Deanna I don't know how, or why but we're in Alaska." Clark said.
"Ah but I can answer that my little friends." came loud voice from five feet behind them in the air.
Startled they pulled apart in a quick movement turning as they did so.
There hovered Q in the air smiling in amusement at them as they both turning red in embarrassment.
He ussered the both to stand with his hand in a friendly way. They looked at one another, and shrugged. Clark took Deanna's hand in his own, and they stood to face Q their fingers intertwining as they rose.
Deanna was the first to speak.
"Q, Just how long have you been here watching us?" She said a hint of embarrassment in her tone.
"Why the entire time my dear, and I must say you two make a lovely couple." Q said mockingly.
Deanna's eyes went wide, and her cheeks turned red with embarrassment. Clark stepped foreward frusteration written all over his features. Q's smile just widened as he approached him.
"Do you know no bounderies at all Q?! Is nothing private to you?!" Clark shouted an anger.
"All that time in the Phantom Zone, and still you have not learned manners, or graditude.
Tut tut tut my son." Q sculled.
See that Clark was about to blow his stack at Q for calling him son she quickly stepped between them putting a calming hand on Clark's chest. She looked up at him looking directly in the eyes, and gently shook her head. Clark let his anger go in a slow deep breath. He turned toward Q apologetic.
"My apologies Q, I am grateful for the help you gave us but I would appriciate it if you don't observe us when we are...occupied." Clark said with a rougish smile.
Seeing that he was starting to have a sense of humor Q joined in.
"Oh it is I who should apologize, Next time you are...well how should I put this...Otherwise occupied I will turn a blind eye."Q said in a amused gocking tone.
Clark was about to respond with another witty remark when Deanna gave him a sharp look that stopped him cold turkey. Instead he smiled sheepishly at her to which she rolled her eyes turning to face Q once more. She took a deep breath, and decided enough was enough.
"Okay look before you two continue your eagotistic banter would you mind explain just why we are in Alaska instead of Smallville?" She asked annoyance in her voice.
"You know I could refuse, and play on words with your boyfriend a while longer if I chose to do so...
But you are quite right enough is enough for now. Q said nodding in agreement.
"Thank you boys." She said looking from one to the other as she spoke slowly irratation in her tone.
"You are both here because while it has seemed like a few hours have gone by in the Zone it has actually been years." Q said all joking gone from his manner. "Six years to be exact. So allow me to fill you in on what has happened in your absence."
Clark held up a hand for Q to wait before he contined. He tried to step back to gather his thoughts but instead wound tripping over his feet causing him to fall to the ground face first. He landed hard shook himself, and rose slowly still unsure of himself. Six years? How can this be? What had happened While he'd been gone, and what of his loved ones? He thought. He turned toward Q shock still on his face.
"Q please continue" Clark asked feeling a great sense of loss.
"Very well. Since you've been away much has transpired. Your parents Clark were informed as to what had happened by yours truly, and the situation. Your father didn't take it so well, and neither did your mother at first until I reassured them that you both would be well looked after. They are fine. Johnathon is Kansas State Senator, and Martha owns Lana's aunts old flower shop in Smallville. They still live on the farm, and even have a few hired hands there that have helped them in your absence. They have even added a runway for your father's private jet that was given to him by Lineol Luther after he, and your father put their differences aside becoming friends." Q explained.
This news shocked Clark all the more. His father, and Lex's dad were friends now? Surely not.
Before he could protest Q wave a hand cutting him off.
"Let me finish my dear boy. Now as I was saying they are friends now Lionel funded your father's campagin against Lex because he wanted to keep Lex away from have to much power in his hands. For what little good it did him. After he foiled his son's campagin Lex made a hostile takeover of Luthercorp booting Lionel out for good, and leaving him with nowhere to go. Your father offered Lex an ultimatum, To let Lionel own the Castle, or he would face a lawsuit Lex for all the trouble he caused your family over the years. He succeded, and the rest is history. As to Lana well after his major defeat to your father Lex asked Lana to marry him promising to give her everything she could ever want, and they've been married five years now living in Metropolis. As to Chloe, Lois, and Oliver well that was interesting to say the least. Oliver dumped Lois after he found her making out with a beach bum named Arthur Cury who as it turns out is the future king of Atlantis. He then went off to Star City to continue running with his family company Queen Industries by day, and being Green Arrow by night. One night he saved Chloe from some thugs in an alley regonized her, and asked what she was doing there. She said that she was looking for the man she loved Oliver Queen. He brought her to his arrow cave, and revealed himself where she asked him to marry her. She's his wife, and they live in Starling City now. She's also his sidekick calls herself Watchtower. They've assembled a group of ragtag heroes, and called themselves the Justice League Of America. Which brings us to you. You see was your father's wish that I give you this..." Q finished.
He then withdrew a crystal from under his arm. It was shaped like an arrow head only it was not small like one. Quite the contrary it was as large as Clark's hand. He placed it in the air, and it began to spin slowly towards Clark. As it reached himit stopped, and the point of it angled toward the north. He looked first to Deanna who nodded agreeing that he should take hold of it he stepped foreward grabbed it, and threw it hard toward the north. It flew end over end for about a hundred feet, stopped, and the dove into the ice. A loud rumble insued afterward, and then suddenly giant colums of ice shot up from the ground crisscrossing each other over, and over again til at last they stopped. What stood before him looked like a giant ice fortress, or cavern. The ice colums were thousands upon thousands of thick ice that stood forty feet high. Clark stood there astonished, and then tunrned to Q.
"What's in there?" He asked amazed.
Q uttered one word "Jor-el."
Clark's eyes widened, and he started walking toward the fortress. But then he stopped short, and turned back to face Deanna.
"Will you come with me?" He asked a little nervous.
"Of course I will Clark." She said tenderly.
They both turned to look back at Q.
"Thank you Q." They said together.
Q smiled, and nodded "You're both welcome I'll see you soon."
And with that he vanished. Clark looked at Deanna who smiled reached up, and kissed him softly on the lips. As she plled back he scooped her up in his arms, and superspead toward the fortress.
~Fortress Of Solitude~
Clark slowed his speed to a walk as the reached the entrance. Then he put Deanna down, and their fingers entertwined as thet began to enter the fortress. It was beathtakingly beautiful with thick pillars of ice that had a long seethrough staircase made up of soild ice that was the purest white you could imagine. As the began their way up these stairs they marveled at what they saw. There stood pillars that had kryptonian writting on it, and the translations of what it said in english. They read of great words, and sayings spoken by Krypton's brightest. Pictures in full detail of what Krypton was like from morning til dusk. When they reached the top of stairs they saw what appeared to be a console, and crystal spike sticking out of it. They approached slowly, and when they were only a foot away a crystal detached itself from the console, and hover in front of them.
Clark reach out, and took hold of it. Then a voice spoke.
"Kal=el, and Deanna you have traveled far." It spoke.
"Jor-el?" Clark said unsure.
"Yes, Welcome home my son." Jorel said in a loving voice.
"Fathe I thought Krypton was destroyed." Clark said cofused
"It was, but here in your Fortress of Solitude, the geography of our planet has been replicated for your training." Jor-el said reassurringly.
"I know there's a lot I can learn from you,
But I need to know why I was sent to the Phantom Zone with Deanna." Clark said
"It was a test, and trial to see if you could withstand any obstical. Deanna was the fatefull choice to make sure that you would keep remain of pure virtue for what is to come." Jor-el said.
Clark: What do you want me to do?
"You must do as I tell you. You must finish the training I have for you so that you may become Earth's savior, and hero. You must become the leader of this league of hero's. You must lead this generation, and the generations to come into a new era of heroisum. You can be, and must be thir becon of hope that when they look into the sky, and see you the will hope for a better tomorrow." Jor-el proclaimed.
Clark stepped forward, and a beam of light shot down engoulfing him.
A see through barrior surrounded him, and he stood motionless as knoledge upon knoledge poured into him. Deanna sat down at the top of the stairs, and waited. Six hours later the barrior broke, and Clark steeped out slightly dazed. He peered around him, and then his gaze fell upon her. He walked over to her, and embraced her. Then he pulled back, and looked at her. Jor-el spoke again.
"Your journey has come to an end my son." Jor-el said with finality
"I shouldn't have tried to push away my kryptonian side. It nearly cost me my life, and that of Deanna's in the Phantom Zone. My strength is accepting it, and accepting you." Clark said proudly.
"You honor me, A father's pride can not be messured in words but know that I am proud of you son. Your courage, love, and compassion you had shown in your greatest trial with your companion was beyond all I could have hoped for. Any father would hope that he is one day humbled by the feats of his son. But know that it is the pureness of your soul that I am most proud. You, and you alone possess the determination, and compassion that will be required to lead these humans into a new realm of heroism."
At these words a the ground rumbled Clark, and Deanna looked at each other alarmed.
Ten feet away at the top of a ice staircase the ground broke gave way as a piller of ice slowly shot up revealing a suit inside. It was a suit that looked to inspire hope, peace, and strength.
The suit itself was form fitting, and blue all over say for a few minor areas. The chest had the crest the house of El's wore shaped on it. A red triangle on the edges, and the letter "S" in the center of it with a yellow backdrop. The crest was the kryptonian symbol of peace. The house of El represented peace. Upon the waist was a gold belt laced into red underwear. The legs, and arms were blue of course,
But the attached at the theigh were red boots sewn into the suit. Clark walked around the suit admiring it proudly noticing that at the neckline the was a long flowing red cape, and upon it was the crest of the house of El in gold. Clark stepped back turning to Deanna. Then Jorel spoke.
"I ask you to remember one thing. Though your abilities may be of my blood it is your time in Smallville with the Kents, in the Phantom Zone with Deanna Troi that made you a hero Kal-el. You are this world's hero, and you are their Superman."
Clark looked back toward the suit to find Deanna holding it out to him in her arms.
"Always hold onto Smallville." A voice spoke from behind him.
Clark turned to find Q standing there a proud look of on his face.
"Your son has done well my old friend. He's just like his father." Q said to Jor-el.
"Thank you for guiding him Q, and keeping them both safe You've done well." Jor-el said in gratitude.
Q turned to Deanna holding out his hand.
"Come Counselor you've played your part, It's time to get you back to the enterprise." Q said.
"Excuse me?" Deanna spoke taken aback.
Clark stepped forward, but Deanna shot him a look that told him to back off. Clark reluctantly stoped in his endever to come to her aide, and stepped back while glaring at Q.
"What do you mean played my part? And what makes you think I am leaving?" She said pointedly.
Q smiled sadly. "You were brought here to make Clark the hero he was meant to become, and you have to leave otherwise the timeline will be poluted, and the Federation as you know it will never exist."
Upon hearing these words she stopped dead in her tracks. The Federation never exist? Zefron Cockron never making first contact with the volcons. Starfleet never existing. Johnathon Archer never comannding the first prototype Enterprise. The Federation of Planets never becoming a reality. James T Kirk never going on the first five year mission. The Enterprises A, B, C, and D never comissioned. Her Enterprise nevr captained by Jean Luc Picard. He father, and mother never meeting. Her birth, and her place on board the Enterprise-D gone. Countless dead, and earth may even destroyed all because of the choice shae made now. She looked at Clark as the tears began to form in her eyes. She knew what she had to do, and hated it too.
"He's right Clark. I have to go back." She said as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"What?! Why?!" Clark said as his voice cracked in anguish.
"Clark Iove you, But if I don't go now a lot of people are going to die, I will never be born, and the future will not become what it is meant to be." She explained.
"But what about us?" Clark said still very hurt.
"We can't be selfish Clark, and sacrifice others lives for our own. Surely you must see that?" She asked trying to help him understand.
He swallowed hard. "You're right, As much as I hate to admit it you're right." He said nodding as tears came down his cheeks. "But I promise you this, This isn't the end. It's just the beginning my love."
He stepped forward, Deanna dropped the suit on the ground, and they embraced once more their passions overwhelming them. After what seemed like hours had passed the broke apart breathless. Clark looked at her mouthing "I love you," and she spoke in his mind "I love you too Imzadi."
With that he reached down, grabbed hold of the suit, and lept into the air flying away in a blur. His clothes flew off him he went dawning the suit, and he soaring toward the heavens.
Deanna looked after him, and then turned to Q composing herself as she went.
"Alright Q, I'm ready." She said
Q nodded grimy, and spoke softly. "I'm sorry Counselor, I truely am."
With a snap of his fingers they vanished.
Stardate 2468.1 U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-D
In flash of light they reappeared on the Enterprise in the Captain's Ready Room. Deanna sat down, and burst into tears. Q sat beside her, and patted her on the back comfortingly.
"There there Counselor, Look on the bright side." Q said.
Deanna's head whipped around to face him, and the rage in her eyes made Q squirmed a little.
"The bright side?!" Deanna shouted. "Do tell Q what is the bright side?!"
"Now calm down Counselor, You're starting behaving like Clark."
Q said trying to calm her down but to no avail.
"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK HIS NAME YOU MONSTER!" She raged.
Q snapped his fingers.
"NOW COOL OFF TROI!" Q said; Blew on her, and a artic wind instantly froze her body in place.
"First off you have saved the future, and secondly it is better than it was you left it." Q tapped his com badge.
"Admiral Q to Captain Picard." He spoke with humor in his voice again. "Jean Juc hates it when I do this." He said turning to Deanna snapping his fingers again.
"You're right I do. Where are you Q?" Picard said irritably.
"In your ready room Mon Capitaine." Q said sardonically
Minutes later the Captain entered, but he didn't come alone.
Behind him came a man in a suit that vaguely reminded her of Clark's entered. The suit was all black, and instead of red an gold the emblem on his chest it was white with a black backdrop. Their was no cape but there were white pads that went from his shoulders to neck. It almost looked starfleet. The man standing before her was not how she remembered him. He was taller, more broad shouldered, more muscular as well, and had a touch of grey on the sides of his temples, but it was still him.
It was still Clark.
"Hello Deanna. I've missed you." Clark said smiling warmly.
She ran to him wrapping her arms around his neck, and kissing him with such intense passion that Clark thought his head would explode as he returned is equally. Breathlessly they're lips parted, and she looked at him puzzled
"But how-?" She said bewildered.
Deanna looked from Clark to Q in confusion, But it was Picard who answered.
"Counselor; Deanna our friend here has spent the last hour telling me quite a tail." He said gesturing toward Clark. "Is there any truth to it?"
Deanna nodded slowly. "Yes Captain, There is."
Picard shook his head. "The Prime Directive states-"
Q stepped in interrupting the Captain in mid sentence.
"Oh spare us the lecture on your almighty prime directive Jean Luc. She just saved the entire alpha quadrant, not to mention the existence of the federation, and every life of every person on this ship including yours. Show some gratitude if you're capable of it you old fossil." Q said.
Clark smirked, and Deanna smiled smoothly. Picard looked livid but realized that he had a point.
"Very well, I suppose you are right.
Though I will have to talk it over with Starfleet Command." Picard said.
Deanna let go of Clark's neck, and their fingers intertwined.
"There's no need Captain." Clark said turning to the Picard.
"I spoke with them before I came on board,
and they agreed to give her a full pardon provided it did not happen again."
Deanna looked over at the Captain as well.
"I promise, and as of this right now I am resigning my commission with Starfleet." She announced to all present. The Captain was taken aback at first, but then thought he understood why, and smiled ruefully at Q who returned it grinning.
"Any particular reason why?" Q asked in a sarcastic tone of voice.
"As a matter of fact-"
She said turning to face Clark, and bending down on one knee as she went. "There is."
She looked up at gazed into Clark's eyes, and spoke into his mind.
"Will you marry me Imzadi?"
At this Clark's eyes filled with tears, and he noddedslowly speaking aloud.
"Yes Deanna Troi, Yes I will marry you." Clark said, and he swept her off her feet kissing her passionately. Q snapped his fingers, and they were instantly on Betazed 3 months later at Deanna's home. Lwaxana Troi, Mister Hume, Captain Picard, and the entire bridge crew were in formal attire clapping their hands as the happy couple kissed now dressed in a wedding gown, and tuxedo. Q waved his hand, and white rose peddles began to fall from the sky.
"Q, You always know how to make the perfect happy ending don't you?" Lwaxana said teasingly.
"What can I say my dear?" He said shrugging. "It's a gift."
THE END.
