Reaching Out

Disclaimer: I've been in such a Smallville mood lately that I started thinking about my old 'What If? Making The Call' 'Verse I never really finished that this idea came to mind. I'm gonna go with the idea that the Dominators situation happened during Smallville's 8th season since in the sequel to 'Making The Call', I mentioned Oliver visited Smallville and met Clark after the Twisters incident. This also allows me to explore my little 'Verse's future somewhat since I doubt I'll ever get that far in it. Moira is still alive and the Queen Fortune is still intact thanks to Clark helping out during the whole Slade mess. Sara returned during 'Year One' and eventually was freed from League service.

She also has her own Canary Cry that isn't tech related and is quite happy with Nyssa and both are part of the Legends. Barry and Felicity were a thing for a time in my 'Making The Call' 'Verse but thanks to her interference, he and Iris end up together a lot earlier then in the show. Felicity did join Team Arrow but is married to one Detective Billy Malone. Oliver and Laurel are together and thanks to a shenanigan of Tommy's involving a broken vase, Laurel has her Canary Cry, which also how Sara has one. The Yamashiros are still part of Team Arrow and Tommy's also alive as well. For Smallville's 8h season, this is set after 'Bride' in my AU take on things.

Arrow/Flash's take on the Hawks isn't a thing but Smallville's is even though it hasn't happened yet. Though Rip Hunter did rope Carter Hall into joining the Legends for a time. Lionel never bugged Jonathan in the Barn, allowing him to go on to become the Senator of Kansas. Clark and Alicia were a thing for a time until she pushed him to pursue Lana as his heart still felt something fairly strong for her. Smallville's version of Dinah Lance doesn't happen either. Lana and Lex NEVER happened and Lana and Clark are now married but had their wedding reception interrupted by Doomsday in his quest for Chloe and Jimmy is badly hurt.

Summary: Oliver thinks to call in a friend of his from a certain small town in Kansas.


While Barry and Cisco were off looking for an Alien friend of Barry's that he had met after accidentally traveling to another dimension, Oliver had decided to call up a friend of his. "Yeah, its me, I get now's a bad time but I was hoping you'd be willing to come and help me out with a problem that's cropped up."

"I take it whatever you were called back home for is a lot worse then you thought?" Asked one Clark Kent in concern.

"Yeah, seems we have an Alien invasion on our hands here."

"Please tell me you're joking."

"I wish I was, Kid, I wish I was. As it is, we've already got some support here but a little more wouldn't hurt if its possible. Cyborg, Impulse, and Aquaman are on their way as we speak."

An audible sigh was heard from Clark on the other end. "I'll see who I can round up on my end but I won't promise anything."

"Thanks, Clark, I know this is bad timing considering what happened at your's and Lana's wedding but this is looking like all hands on deck as much as possible." Oliver told him grimly.

"That's just our kind of luck. I'll see you soon."

The two hung up as a curious Thea came over to him. "Did you call who I think you called?"

"Yep. He's gonna round up who he can from his end." Oliver told her.

"Man… This is definitely bad timing..."

"Yeah. Yeah, it is."

Meanwhile, In Smallville, Kansas

As Clark got off the phone with Oliver, Lana Lang grew worried over the increasingly grim look that came over her husband's face. "What is it?"

Clark blew out a breath. "That was Oliver, apparently things are a lot worse then he realized."

Stepping up to her new husband in concern, Lana asked him for more information. "An Alien invasion. He and the others already have some help but thinks me being around will be a good thing."

Lana thought that over for a moment. "I can handle things from here if need be in the search for Chloe. Lois is with Jimmy and will call us the minute the Doctors tell her anything."

"You sure?" Asked the Last Son to his new wife.

Whom he should be on his Honeymoon with right now but life just liked to screw up things like that. "I'm sure." She assured her husband with a smile and kiss.

"Alright, I'll call Alicia and Byron to see if they're willing to come. Wish I could get Kara too but she's still off the planet."

"As life has taught me, we make do with what we have. Whatever help you can bring, I'm sure it'll be enough." Lana told him reassuringly.

Something he appreciated and even kissed her for. "Love you."

"Love you, too." Came her happy response before he kissed her again and then made a couple of calls.

Hang on Chloe, we'll find you… Just hang on.


Author's Notes: Hope folks enjoyed! Special thanks to Arlyss for helping me connect the timelines of the two shows a little better! Oliver's also not a dickhead in this either thanks to already knowing Clark and his origins.
