lets do the time warp baby ((Future-Verse))

After a full week of classes, April felt drained and accomplished. Things were getting more intense with final papers and preparations for the end of her first year.

It felt good to enter her bed, cuddle into the blankets and fall asleep. Unfortunately, it seemed that her voices were not going to let her sleep easily tonight.

The vision came on stronger than any other she ever had. In the haunting whispers of the vision, April could see all seven faces of the Big Bads that were threatening Rome. And because of her knowledge of the TV shows, April woke up feeling worried.

She had to tell someone. And as she grabbed her phone, April felt strange and was surrounded by a sickly green light. This was bad... she knew it. And she felt being pulled into the light... then falling... falling... falling.

Until she hit the bed again. April gasped out loud. Not sure if that had been part of the dream or not. She didn't even notice that the bed in which she lay was bigger. Or that there was more space in the bedroom either.

Trying her phone again, all April received was static. It was like the phone wasn't working. And she set it down, and glanced around her surroundings. Noticing the bigger bed, and bedroom, April clutched the sheets to her in concern.

"Where am I?"

"I'd love to show you around, but it's too risky," he says, apologetically. "Everyone would expect you to be older. And pregnant. But you can ask me things, and I'll answer if I can."

((Going to work now.))

"The tour of our hometown will have to wait then." That sounded strange. "I assume its Metropolis?"

((see you soon!))

"Close to it," he confirms. "Not in the city proper, but close enough to 'commute' to work. Supposedly driving a few hours from Smallville every day just looked out of place."

"Do we still check on the farm?" It was an important place for April. For Clark.

"In a way," he says, smiling. "I shouldn't tell you who's living there right now because you haven't met them yet, but it's occupied. By family."

She gives him a soft push. "Tease." Because that comment does make her curious.

Clark knows that she comes from a time where he doesn't know about any of his living blood relatives, nor does Connor exist yet, so he's wary about telling her before it's time. Especially with how Connor came to join the family. "Sorry." He's not quite apologetic.

"You can wipe that invisible smirk from your face, buster." April still has a happy gleam in her eye. She is happy that they still have a comfortable mental reportoire.

She wonders about questions she could ask. As curious as April is about their engagement, their wedding, and how he took the news about being a father, she sort of wants to be surprised by those events.

"Have you been able to find more heros?" She figures it is a vague enough question for him to answer.

The smile on his face turns proud now. "Quite a few. And our numbers keep growing, on occasion. We've come a long way from the beginning of Watchtower."

"The Watchtower? Really?" April is so happy for him. "Oh wow. To have the chance to see the heroes who are called that."

"And you lead them?"

"Watchtower's our base," he explains. "One of the tallest buildings in the city, although some certain billionaire members of the League want to build a space station instead."

He nods. "I didn't in the beginning, but I have for several years now."

"The League? The Justice League?" Oh she wants to know who all the members are. Hear some of his stories of triumph.

And places her hands in her lap, in an attempt to calm her excitement. Hey she is still young. And is so curious about the hero her boyfriend is destined to become. That she always knew he would be great at.

"Thats amazing Clark."

"That's the one," he confirms, smiling at her, and he puts one hand over hers. "I know you want to know everything about them. But trust me when I say that they're friends that are well worth the wait."

And, because it seems somewhat cruel to not be able to tell her anything about the League's membership, he adds, "You've already met a few of them. Aquaman and Cyborg are both founding members."

"Really? I so must make a badge, one that reads I am friends with the JLA. I could certainly get Victor Allen on board with that."

"They came back? And are helping? Awesome."

He has to hide his thoughts especially carefully there, since that particular Victor has been working with the JLA for a while now. "Technically speaking, you are a member. Not just because you're married to me. Not all our members go out and fight supervillains."

She senses that Clark is using his mental blocks for a reason, but April judges that it is a good one.

There is a small smile when he mentions that she is a member. "I can't imagine how difficult that must be some times for her, er me. To work beside somone so handsome and attractive, and yet have to keep to the guise."

"It's a challenge sometimes," he says, teasing her a little. "But I've lost track of the number of times we've saved the world together now."

She blushes again. April is glad they still have that passion. That intimacy. For good reasons she hasn't see the fire in her Clark's eye for a while.

And when this Clark mentions they saved the world together, April smiles. "I would hope we have saved both our worlds a couple of times."

"It's something for you to look forward to. I wouldn't exactly call it fun or relaxing, and there will be times where everything seems hopeless, but don't give up." He's become quite used to giving inspirational talks to his fellow heroes, and it's almost second nature to him now.

Hearing him give such inspirational advice, April reaches out to touch his face. "Wow. No wonder I love you."

"I hope you have several reasons," he says with a smile, but he's not dismissing what she says.

"Thousands upon thousands." April replies softly. Looking into his eyes for a moment, April feels suddenly foolish. She is flirting with her boyfrineds older counterpart. And its a bit confusing.

"Um... your mom. Is she still doing okay?" Conversation changes should work.

Clark isn't quite as thrown by it as she is. He's had time and experience on his side to get used to this sort of thing, although he does concede that anything more than flirting would probably be improper.

"She's doing fine. Better than fine, actually. One of the most popular Senators that Kansas has ever had."

"Oh good, she is still in the Senator seat." April always adored her time with Martha. "I bet that she is so happy to be a potential grandmother."

"She's over the moon about it," he says with a proud smile. "I'll be surprised if she hasn't knit enough baby booties and hats to equip a small army of infants by now."
