Halloween Special
Kent Resident
Clark Kent smiled as he was helping his one year old daughter, Astrea, into her Pikachu Halloween onesie costume.
"Pika! Pika!" Astrea giggled.
"Mommy will love this for sure!"
"Dada, Pika-boom!" she giggled with her eyes starting to glow of lightning blue. "Pika-boom!" She suddenly had two miniature lightening bolts in her hands.
Clark laughed. "Oh yeah, this is definitely the best Halloween costume for you!"
"Pika! Pika!" Astrea giggled again.
Just then, Clark and Astrea heard the front door unlocking.
"Mama!"
"Hold on, Princess. Remember our plan to surprise mommy."
Downstairs...
"I'm home!" Diana said as she closed the front door. Diana raised her brow realizing how quiet it was. "Kal? Astrea?"
She frowned with it still being so silent. As she was about to go upstairs, she was suddenly swooped up and felt warm lips against her own. She laughed against his lips, cupping his face and deepening the kiss.
Clark made his way to the sofa, with Diana sitting on his lap.
Diana smiled as they finally broke away.
"Mmhh...that was a hell of a kiss, Mr. Kent. What are you up to?"
"Nothing but good...for now, Mrs. Kent."
"Where is Astrea? Taking her nap?"
"Nope."
Diana frowned slightly, "where is she?"
"Only way way you'll find her is to say the secret word."
"And what's that?"
"What's small, yellow, and has electric powers?"
Diana gasped and grinned. "You didn't?!"
"I did!" he grinned back.
Where is my little Pikachu! Pika!" Diana called.
"Supise!" Astrea giggled suddenly appearing standing on the coffee table. "Hi, Mama!"
"Oh, my baby is so adorable! Come here, Little Love!"
Astrea jumped into Diana's arms. Diana kissed her all over her face and embraced her tightly.
"Mama miss home."
"Yes, Little Love. I missed you and daddy so much!"
"How was your conference?"
"Oh, same old, same old. I'm glad we are finally moving forward with the plans to renovate the recreation center."
"Ah, that's great, Di! The kids will love it for sure."
"Yes. And this opens more job opportunities."
Clark kissed her cheek. "I'm so proud of you, my Gorgeous Goddess."
"Thank you, Love!"
"Mama do good!" Astrea clapped happily.
"And thank you, Little Love." Diana kissed her cheek again. "Kal, we should get ready now. Isn't Mayor Humbrooke expecting us at 2?"
"No worries, Di. It won't take us too long to get ready and besides, you just got home. Rest a bit."
"I know, I know. I'm just really excited that this is Astrea's first Halloween festival!"
"Yeah... we are going to have lots of fun! Lots of chocolate candy collecting, right Princess?"
"Coco candy!"
"Remember our first Halloween party?" Diana asked.
"How can I forget? You were dressed as a very alluring witch," Clark smirked.
"I was skeptical but you made it fun for me, even more exciting with the masks. And it was very entertaining with you dressed as a Spartan warrior."
Clark laughed. "They were right."
"Who? Right about what?"
"Barry and Hal. It was to impress you."
Diana smiled. "I was already impressed but I do adore the extra effort, especially with our friends spending years as Eros' helpers."
"It took us a while but this is our time. I wouldn't have it any other way."
"Me neither." Diana reach up and kissed him softly.
Flashback: Wayne Manor
"Diana, you look gorgeous!"
Diana wore a classy yet sexy ponton skirt witch costume with a black lace domino mask.
"Mari, I'm not keen on masquerade parties."
"It's just wearing a mask and people will guess who's who," Dinah said. "Come on, Princess, maybe a certain Kryptonian will be there."
"Oh right! Maybe you two can finally stop beating around the bush and make things official."
"Kal and I-"
"Are just friends..." Dinah and Mari mocked rolling their eyes.
"That line is so cheesy. Just cast a love spell on him."
Dinah laughed, "she already has!"
"Oh, stop it, you two! Kal and I decided a long time ago not to go any further."
"Whatever, Princess. We all can see there's something more."
"No it's-"
"Who is that?!" Mari said.
Dinah and Diana turned to see a tall muscular man wearing a Spartan Warrior costume. A red velvet-feel cape with gold shoulder medallions, Spartan helmet that covered majority of his face, shoulder harness and ancient warrior's loin cover with faux leather brown arm and leg guards.
"Wow...he is really...something."
"The body of a God, right Diana?"
She tried not to blush as she locked eyes with him for a moment. "Yes, he does."
A few feet away, Lois Lane, dressed as a Charleston Cutie, was finishing her interview with Gotham City's Mayor.
"Thank you, Mayor, I'll be sure to let Perry know," she smiled but then as the he walked away her smile quickly dropped and she rolled her eyes. "Ugh, where the hell is Clark?! God dammit...useless. I told Perry he was too much of a square for stuff like this." She then spotted the Spartan warrior and smirked.
The Spartan warrior was just about to walk passed her until she stepped in front of him.
"Would you mind a drink and a few words? I'm Lois Lane, Reporter from the Daily Planet in Metropolis. I'm sure you've heard of me, Mr...?"
"I do mind," he simply said tone and walked away.
Lois scuffed and frowned. "Excuse me?!"
Hal Jordan and Barry Allen both dressed as cowboys laughed.
"Oh man, this is priceless! I'm kind of jealous you have all the ladies falling at your feet."
"Shut up," Clark said annoyed at Hal.
"Come on, Big Blue. I'm sure Diana will appreciate it. Go find her and talk to her."
Clark sighed. "I already found her."
"Well go talk to her!"
"If you don't, I will!" Hal joked.
Barry elbowed him. "Not helping. Anyway, Bruce already slipped out with Selina. If the host of the party can leave, you two might as well have some alone time."
"Right. Alright."
Clark walked back into the crowd and was met with a crowd of women.
"Oh, and who might you be?"
"We could go somewhere a little more private."
"Let's us see that handsome face."
A woman grabbed his arm. "Wow...you must bench a lot."
"Um...sorry ladies, I-"
"Oohh, such a sexy tone of voice, too."
"I-"
Just then, he felt someone latch onto his arm.
"I was looking for you."
He smiled recognizing her voice. "I was looking for you, too."
She smiled back pulling him away from the crowd.
"How about we go take a walk?"
"Yeah..."
"Damn...really?! Knew it was too good to be true."
"He was already taken."
The Witch and the Spartan Warrior left out the party from the back patio entrance.
When they were finally alone, she took her mask off and he took off his helmet.
"Hello, Diana," he smiled.
"Hello, Kal-El," she smiled back.
"You look beautiful."
"Thank you. Dinah and Vixen picked it out for me. I mean after trying on almost 15 others..."
"It doesn't matter what you wear, you look amazing in anything."
Diana blushed. "I really like this."
"Hal and Barry will be glad to hear that. This was their idea. How did you know that was me by the way? And thanks for getting me out that crowd. They wear all trying to to get a feel."
Diana giggled. "Your eyes, Kal. Be it a mask, helmet or glasses, I know you. But what about me? You spotted me the moment I walked in it seems."
"I...uh...yeah, I did. I know your heartbeat. And like I said, it doesn't matter what you
wear..."
"I didn't plan to stay for very long, though, with you, I will."
"We don't have to. There's a classic movie, tv show marathon we can catch."
Diana leaned over and reached to kiss his cheek. "I'd like that."
Flashback End
Diana stepped out the bathroom to Clark just staring at her. His eyes burning intense with something suspiciously like lust. The clingy black fabric swept down her legs into an graceful tail that trailed behind her. Her long flowing raven hair. She had spent an hour in front of the mirror applying her makeup as heavily as she dared; and had painted her nails a dramatic dark maroon.
Diana couldn't stop staring at her handsome husband in a three-piece pinstripe suit, with brocaded vest and upright collar, it fitted him like a glove. He'd slicked back his hair, and drew himself a pencil-thin mustache.
Clark took her hand and kissed it. "Mia regina. l'amore della mia vita."
"Ooh," Diana giggled. "So in character, Mon chèr, "she replied, dramatically pitching her voice deep.
"Damn," he grinned with his eyes shining brighter with passion and a slow-burning love, dipped her low.
Diana stretched out her neck, leaning back so that her hair almost touched the floor, her lips parted; and before she knew it, Clark was kissing up the front of her chest and up her neck and right to her lips.
"Bellissima Dea," he murmured.
"Amati..." she replied in a low voice as Clark placed a gentle kiss on her neck.
Suddenly, there was a flash of light.
"Pikaboom!" Astrea giggled appearing on their bed.
Diana and Clark laughed.
"Ready to go, Princess?"
"Astrea nodded and jumped up and down on the bed. "Coco candy! Coco candy!"
"Let's go."
"Yay!"
Payton Creek, Monte Cristo
Clark and Diana stepped out of the portal in the middle of the town, in front of its founder, statue, Magnus Gartrell.
Bystanders stopped and stared at them in awe.
Clark smiled nervously. "I really have to find a way to for us not to be teleported at times to the most awkward locations."
Diana giggled. "It's okay, Darling."
"Ooh! Punkins! Mama, punkins!"
"Yeah, sweetheart! You like all the festival decorations?"
"Yeah!"
"It's going to be so beautiful tonight with all the Jack o'lanterns lit."
"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Kent?"
"Yes?"
"Hi, I'm Isabelle Janis, your guide for around town."
Isabelle looked to be in her mid 50s, wearing a business suit and witch hat.
"Hi, Isabelle. Please no need for formalities," Diana said shaking her hand.
"Yes, right," Isabella nodded. "And hello there, cutie!" she smiled at Astrea.
Astrea frowned slightly and laid her head on Diana's shoulder burying her face in her neck.
"Sweetheart?" Diana questioned.
"Sorry, she isn't usually shy," Clark said.
"Oh, that's okay. But I promise, cutie, I won't bite!"
Astrea held on tighter to Diana.
"Well the Mayor is having last minute preparations for the festival. We can go ahead and start our little town tour to pass the time."
Clark took Diana's hand as they followed Isabella through town. They noticed while some town residents and even other tourists were either over enthusiastic or seemed a little unwelcoming.
"Here is our little souvenir shop."
"I'm curious of the true story of this town?" Diana said.
"Well, I don't know much about it myself. I just moved here about 6 months ago. But the mayor will gladly tell you everything you need to know."
Astrea looked over Diana's shoulder to see a woman standing a few feet away just staring at them. It seemed no one else could see her but Astrea.
Astrea gave her a small smile and little wave. The woman still just stared blankly and was motionless.
"There's the pumpkin patch for the little kiddies, face painting, haunted maze in the corn field. Later, a few ghost stories and a special performance to end the night. That's just the basics of what's planned. Though, I'm sure the mayor will have more. Halloween is his favorite!"
"Isabella."
She turned to see another older woman and gave a small smile.
"Oh...Mrs. Stanton. It's nice to see you."
"I need to speak with Joseph."
"I'm sorry but he is quite busy at the moment."
"It seems he is always quite busy..."
Clark and Diana glanced at each other.
"Mrs. Stanton, please... I'll let him know it's urgent."
Mrs. Stanton frowned. "It's too late." She looked at Clark, Diana and Astrea with a sympathetic expression. "I wish we could've properly met on different circumstances. Your child is a true gift." Mrs. Stanton took something out of her purse. "For you, child."
Astrea raised head and smiled.
It was a rose gold medallion with an abstract design.
"It used to be tradition from our founder and my ancestor. Protection of the children."
"Mama, look, pweety!"
"It is, Little Love. Thank you, Mrs. Stanton," Diana smiled.
"Thank you, Diana and Clark. Your presence here is greatly welcomed."
She walked away.
"Apologies. Mayor Humbrooke said Mrs. Stanton has been a bit stand off-ish since her family was accused of very shocking awful things years ago. She means well and while her ancestor is the founder, the town's people agreed for change in town hall. It was for the best."
Clark and Diana remained silent.
"Well I'm sure the Mayor is ready for you now."
Town Hall
Mayor Joseph Humbrooke smiled proudly as he stared at his portrait.
"As it should be," he said to himself.
"Mayor Humbrooke? The Kents are here!" Isabella said enthusiastically.
"Ah! Finally!" He grinned. "Clark Kent and Diana Prince-Kent. Superman and Wonder Woman. Wow! It is truly an honor to meet the both of you!"
"Thank you for inviting us."
Astrea again held onto Diana tighter frowning at Joseph.
"Isn't she a beauty. Uncanny to her mother," Joseph said grinning at Astrea.
Astrea turned her head hiding her face in Diana's shoulder.
"There's a small area for the little tike. Perhaps enjoying a little cartoon, telling our town's history. Better than listening to the adult talk."
"Oh...ok," Diana nodded.
"Follow me, Mrs. Kent."
"Then we will all meet in my office."
Diana followed Isabella to a room with paintings of past mayors, male and female. She took note, they all had the last name Gartrell on their name plates.
"Mama, stay!"
"Just sit right here and watch the cartoon, sweetheart. Mommy and daddy will be right back, okay?"
Astrea gave her a sad look.
"We will get lots of chocolate afterwards."
Astrea then perked up and smiled. "Mmkay!"
Diana kissed her forehead. "My adorable little pika."
Astrea giggled. "Pikaboom!"
Diana then followed Isabella to Joseph's office.
Clark smiled at Diana when she walked in and immediately wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Mrs. Kent, as I was saying to Mr. Kent, I'm so glad you all enjoyed the tour. Tonight's festivities will be unforgettable! But... let's get down to the nitty gritty. Although our town is peaceful, during this time, things go array. There has been supposed disappearances. Those who may be found , however, no memory of anything. There has been a few tragedies over the pass week. I don't think it's a coincidence either."
"You know who is behind all of this?"
"It hasn't been proven but I have firm belief. There's a town tale, since before I was even born, about a spirit haunting the town. It's believed, the Gartrell family was deeply involved in very bad dealings. Savannah Gartrell, the would have been mayor before the town basically shunned the family, committed suicide. She couldn't handle the pressure. Greed seemed to have fogged her judgment. My family inherited the title of Mayor to continue the tradition. My grandfather was the first."
"Your grandfather or father didn't have a portrait?"
"No. I'm not sure of the reasoning either."
"Why hasn't any of this been reported?"
"This town's survival depends on tourists. Knowing that Superman and Wonder Woman would be here, we've gotten far more people this year."
"So we are an attraction?" Diana asked with a raised brow.
"No, of course this is for your enjoyment as well. But if there is any danger, we need your help."
"Of course, we will help," Clark said.
"Yes. Of course." Diana looked over to Clark. "I'm going to go check on Astrea."
Clark nodded.
Back with Astrea, she wasn't alone. The woman who had been following them was standing in front of her. She held out her hand.
"I Astre!"
"Savannah. Come with me, Astrea."
"Mama..."
"Don't worry. Your mother will-"
"Her mother will what? Step away from my daughter at once!"
"Mama, Sannah sad," Astrea teleported into Diana's arms.
"Savannah? Savannah Gartrell? But you're..."
"Please, help me. Help us all. You are our savior."
"What? I don't-"
"Diana?" Clark called. "What's wrong?"
"Only you and Astrea can see me. I need the help of the Goddess of Truth," Savannah said then disappeared.
"Diana?" Clark questioned grabbing her hand.
"I'm sorry, Love. I just had a thought."
"What is it?"
"There's something very wrong with Humbrooke's story."
"I know. We'll figure it all out."
"Is everything alright?"
"Yes, Astrea was just telling us-"
"Coco, Dada! Coco!"
"Right. She can't wait for trick or treating."
"Right, well...go enjoy yourselves. I still have a little more preparations for the last performance."
Clark and Diana left Town Hall.
"Where should we go?" Clark asked.
"The cemetery. She wants us to go to the cemetery."
Payton Creek Cemetery
"I pray that the truth shall be revealed."
"Mrs. Stanton."
She turned to see Diana and Clark.
"You've seen Savannah."
"How did you know?"
"It's the only reason why you are here, now. I am Sierra Gartrell. My twin sister has found her saviors. She said it would be you."
"Please tell us what's happened."
"My family was betrayed. Savannah was murdered by the man she loved. He tarnished the family name."
"What of the missing?"
"I don't know. This is why we need your help. All I know is that Joseph is not what he appears to be. Tonight will be dangerous. Though your daughter, she will end all of this, but please be careful."
Later...sunset
"Trick-oh-Tree!" Astrea said happily as the florist put candy in her bag.
"She's so adorable!"
"Thanks! And 1 rose, please."
"Here you go, Sir."
"Even though this wasn't the plan for our first Halloween with Astrea. I want to make the best of it, Bellissima Dea," Clark said as he kissed Diana's cheek.
"This is why I love you, Kal-El."
"I love you, too, Diana."
"More coco candy, Dada!"
"Haha! Alright alright!l
Astrea flew off to more shops and stands, while others still stared blankly or excited to get pictures with them.
"Sannah have coco, too!"
"So both you can see her?"
"She is following Astrea as if she is her guardian."
"I haven't seen anything yet that seems odd, besides the stares."
"Earlier, Astrea wasn't very happy with Isabella and Joseph?"
"You think they're behind all this."
"I'm more than sure. Having us as an attraction, is a distraction for whatever they have planned"
"But I don't get it. Knowing who we are..."
"Knowing who we are is all the more reason."
"Hmm...well we'll just play along until it's time to bust them. I just hope we don't be too late."
Another hour had passed...
"Look, Mama! Dada! Big moon!"
"Yeah, Princess. It's quite appropriate given tonight."
"It's beautiful."
"But not as breathtakingly beautiful as you."
Diana smirked. "Just wait til we get home. You'll help me out this dress, right?"
"Oh, definitely. I'm going to take my time for sure and I-" Clark paused and frowned.
"Kal? Kal, what's wrong?"
"Someone's in trouble." He quickly looked around. "Stop! Hey, stop!" He saw someone wearing a werewolf mask grab a young woman.
"Stop!" Clark dashed toward the masked man and within seconds had the man's arms behind his back. He then took the mask off the man.
"Owen?! Owen, is that you?!" A woman yelled running up to him.
"I...what...I don't understand. What am I doing here?"
The woman slapped him. "You've been gone for days! What the hell are you doing?!"
He shook his head. "Crystal, honey, I don't remember anything."
Everyone gasped and started mumbling more.
"He's telling the truth," Diana said.
"What is going on?" Joseph said over the mic on stage.
"You tell us, Mayor Humbrooke."
"This isn't part of our programming for sure."
Diana raised her brow. "You know what I mean. Tell everyone the truth. You have your audience. You said you grandfather was the first Mayor after the Gartrells were shunned. Why is it that it's only your portrait?"
He shrugged. "I never cared to ask."
"Who was Savannah Gartrell to you?"
"Mrs. Kent, I don't know what-"
"Give it up, Joseph. Your reign over this town is over," Sierra said.
"Sierra, what have you been telling these lovely people."
"The truth! Tell them! Tell them all! My sister will finally be at peace!"
He smirked. "Isabella? Please."
"Yes, Master," she walked on stage with a very different look of long silver hair and quite older, eyes of blood red.
"Well...guess we have to get this party started a bit earlier."
Isabella looked up to the sky. "The blood moon..."
Suddenly, bystanders started screaming in agony.
"Give your souls to the Master!"
"Savannah was a beautiful young woman. I did fall in love with her. But what I love more than a beautiful woman is absolute power. She sacrificed herself for the good of her family, the people of this town and most importantly...me."
"You murdered her!" Sierra yelled.
His laugh turning sinister. His eyes too, turning of blood red, his hair of silver, his skin paler."
"Just as I suspected. A demon."
"A demon lord, Diana. I've lived for thousands of years, witnessed so much idiocy from these pathetic humans. But their souls. Ah...delicious. Especially the most pure and innocent ones."
"Let these people go!"
"The weak will die. The strong will follow me for all eternity. This lonely town is perfect for a home base. That's why it was chosen."
"And what about us? Why are we here knowing we will stop you?!" Clark asked.
Joseph smiled and shook his head slightly. "You won't be stopping me. Not when I have your daughter."
All of a sudden, Isabella disappeared. Astrea was snatched out of Diana's arms and they both reappeared on stage.
"Mama!"
"Astrea!"
"Take one step, Diana, and this will be the last time you see your daughter. Don't dare try anything, Kal-El. You won't be fast enough."
"Mama!" Astrea cried tried to get away from Isabella.
Lightening started to strike causing small fires all over town.
"It's okay, sweetheart!"
Joseph grinned. "How I do love a chaotic party. We will be waiting in Town Hall. But have a little fun first."
They were then attacked by the many others of missing possessed as Joseph and Isabella suddenly disappeared with Astrea.
"Astrea!" Diana and Clark yelled.
"The medallion and Savannah will protect her," Sierra said.
"Kal, we have to get to Town Hall!"
"You go! I'll free these people and take care of the fires. Tell Astrea daddy said very big boom!"
Diana nodded and flew off.
Town Hall
Astrea kicked and screamed, crying for Diana and Clark.
"Master, shut this brat up!"
Astrea scratched Isabelle's face.
"Why you little brat!"
"MAMA!" Astrea cried out, her eyes turning of lightening blue. She clenched her tiny fists. "MAMA!"
"Yes! So much power! All will be mine!"
"Joseph!" Isabella yelled out. "Jo-"
He turned to see she was floating in the air, gasping trying to get loose from whatever had a hold of her neck.
"Savannah, my beloved. Play nice."
"Let the child go. You can have me," she said finally appearing.
Joseph grinned. "Still as beautiful as ever. Though, I'm a little greedy, you know that."
Savannah glared at him. "This ends today!"
Suddenly, just as Joseph was about to turn his head, he was punched in the face and flew across the room, crashing into the wall.
"Mama!" Astrea giggled seeing Diana.
"Told you it would be okay, Sweetie."
"Bad man make Sannah sad, Mama."
"Bad man is in a lot of trouble."
"This will not be taken away from me!"
"You selfish bastard! You took so much away from the innocent. You dared to take me and my husband for fools, and you threatened our child. I'm sending you back to the hell pit you once came!"
Diana dashed toward him punching him again. However, this time he recovered quickly and grabbed Diana by her arm slinging her to the wall.
As they fought on, Savannah still had Isabella in her grasp.
"You were nothing more than a puppet all this time Isabella. Did you truly believe he would love you?"
"He does love me. I am by his side."
"You are his servant, nothing more. You betrayed me and my family for him and now you must suffer."
"Savannah, no! I was your best friend!"
"No, you were my enemy."
"Savannah! Savannah, no!"
Savannah tightened her grip around her neck until she took her last breath. She whispered an enchantment and Isabella's body instantly disappeared.
Diana was still fighting Joseph. She kicked him in the head knocking him to the ground.
"All we wanted was a nice first Halloween for our little girl. It's that simple. But it's demons like who just have to make things difficult." She picked him up by the collar of his shirt. "Astrea!"
"Hi, Mama!" She said teleporting next to her.
"Daddy said very big boom."
"Big boom! Pikaboom!" Her eyes turned of lightening blue once more. Her whole body glowing. "Boom! Boom!"
She hit Joseph with a powerful lightening bolt.
"This power! He laughed. "I've never felt before! It's so good!"
Diana smirked as just then, Joseph felt his body start to burn.
"Wait! No! What's happening!?"
"It seems you truly can't handle the purist of power. My daughter is of a divinity of her own. She has the power to cleanse what has been tainted."
"Big boom! Big boom!"
"No! No! No!"
Her power was overwhelming. Joseph lit up into a blue purifying flame.
"No! Ahhh!" He screamed in agony.
The souls he had taken began to be released from him.
Diana dropped him and grabbed onto Astrea kissing her forehead.
"Mommy's big girl..."
"Diana! Astrea!" Clark called out.
"Dada!"
Clark ran to them, embracing them. He then looked down to see Joseph in ashes.
"Woah?!" he said in shock.
"Dada, I made big boom! Bad man go bye bye!"
Clark was still in such shock, kissing the top of her head. "I'm just glad you and mommy are alright." He kissed Diana's temple. "She truly has your fighter spirit for sure."
"I'm so proud."
"Goddess of Truth?" Savannah said.
"Sannah happy now!" Astrea grinned and clapped.
Savannah smiled. "I can finally have peace, my family will be redeemed. Thank you."
"Savannah! Savannah, don't go!" Sierra said running into the room.
"My dear sister. Thank you. You never gave up." Savannah touched her cheek. "I will be right by your side as I always have."
"I miss you. I will miss you so much."
"I'm right here always. Your children and grandchildren now can fulfill rightfully the legacy of our family. I love you, Sierra."
"I love you, Savannah."
"Goodbye, my dear sister."
"Good...bye..."
Savannah slowly faded away with a smile.
"Bye, Sannah!" Astrea said waving.
"Sierra? Is there anything else we should do?"
"I must address the towns people now. Tomorrow, we start a new change to the way it should be."
Diana, Clark and Astrea flew back to the festival with Clark carrying Sierra.
Festival Stage
"Everyone! Please! Everyone may I have your attention!" She nervously said into the mic.
Everyone quieted and turned to Sierra. Sierra looked back to Clark and Diana who nodded giving her reassurance.
"Many of you know me. For those who don't, I am Sierra Stanton...maiden name, Gartrell. I know that things are still very...confusing of what just occurred. I am here to speak the truth about my family and this town. I ask of you all to please, give us the chance to rebuild."
"I believe you." A man said and stepped up. "My family has been in this town since my great great grandfather decided to move here. The Gartrells were always so welcoming. It was a shock for us to hear those horrid things your family was accused of. We couldn't..didn't believe. Though we stayed silent. Please forgive us."
There were mumbles of agreement.
Sierra smiled proudly. "Thank you! We shall reclaim our town!"
Everyone slowly started to clap gradually becoming louder.
"Yay! Happy!" Astrea clapped.
Diana and Clark smiled down at their daughter.
"I eat coco now!"
"Just for tonight, you can eat all the chocolate you want Princess."
"Yay! Coco! Coco!"
"As for mommy and daddy..." Clark smirked and kissed Diana's neck. "Mia dolce bella regina..." he whispered in her ear.
Diana giggled. "Amati, io sono il tuo regalo ogni notte, tanto quanto tu sei mio."
Clark kissed her neck again, "Non vedo l'ora di portarti a casa."
"I love you, Kal-El. Our days can be turned upside down, but having you and Astrea, makes everything so much better and right."
"I love you, too, Diana. And I know exactly what you mean. This extraordinary life of ours is worthwhile. I wouldn't want it any other way."
