slayers_desire | the calvary arrives in Smallville

It was time to mount a rescue effort in Kansas. After losing Clark to the Phantom Zone, April had helped Lionel get back to the safety of his mansion, and then had disappeared to the Nexus. Where she was able to find a couple of people who wanted to help keep the peace.

PINpointing back to the farmyard with her allies, April waited for everyone to get settled. Then she took a breath, and gave them a briefing. "So basically right now we have mass public panic, no technology is working, and there are several friends of Clark's that are missing."

"We have two enemies that we need to be concerned about," April pulls out two artist renditions. "The first is Brainaic, a Kryptonite supercomputer who has been posing as Professor Milton Fine. He has all the Kryptonian powers of flight, strength, speed and healing... but isn't affected by Kryptonite. Meteor rock. He can also shapechange. Chloe, you will go with Alice, Victor Van Dort, Doc and Marty to find Brainaic. Also do what you can for those innocents who need to be saved from this chaos. You will also need to find Martha Kent and Lois Lane, as they are both missing."

"The second is General Zod, who has taken possession of Lex Luthor. Once again Zod has all the Kryptonian powers, and I am not sure if meteor rock will affect him. I haven't had a chance to test it."

"Victor Allen and I will try to find Zod, as we have more experience with dealing with crazy Kryptonians. We will also look for a way to bring Clark out of the Phantom Zone."

"I am going to give each of you a piece of Kryptonite, just in case. And hopefully we can figure out a way to get through this situation." April took a breath. Hoping that their little plan would work for the better good.

((this will be a split thread. Alice and Her gang will go off with Chloe to deal with Brainaic. Victor Allen and April will deal with the Clark issue))

April leans towards the emotional support offered by Victor. She is drained from the whole experience, but is especially worried about the emotional well-being of Clark right now.

He keeps losing people. And it sucks to see him get hit hard from it all.

"We could find a way to remember her sacrifice."

It's a regular old group hug here, Clark embracing them both. "We will. She deserves that much." He's not sure what will happen with the Fortress, whether it can be repaired, just how damaged it is. But if he can, he's going to ask Jor-El about Kryptonian death rituals.

"Thank you. Both of you. Sounds like you did a great job looking after the world while I couldn't."

"Yeah, that's a really good idea. Find a way to remember her, the proper way." An extra little squeeze, she's got you babe, you and April. "I'm really sorry that things got like this at all. We'll set it all right, or as right as we can."

"It will take time, but I know we all have the strength and determination to help the world through this tough time." April keeps a firm grasp onto her hope. A hand slips around Clark's waist tightly.

Clark finally spies the Kryptonian knife. "Is that...? I thought it was destroyed when Brainiac was."

Victor smiles that big huge toothy nervous smile again and gives a little I-have-no-idea shrug.

"Guess it wasn't." April will hand over the knife to Clark. "Lionel found it in the barn. And..."

How does one say that she was prepared to use it if necessary without sounding like some sort of monster.

"I guess I should take it back to the Fortress." He knows that if not for the crystal that Raya gave him, killing Lex might've been the only option. "And I can see just how damaged it is."

"Yeah," she says, softly, fingers gone a bit twitchy. "And I can go get Lana."

While it is sort of sad to be seperating so soon, April can't argue with good ideas. "I can return to the others."

Clark gives April a quick kiss. "I'll be back," he promises, looking her in the eye. "I'll meet you at home."

He looks at Victor. "Thank you. Be careful; Metropolis is still pretty dangerous. And if you need any help, just call."

"Sure thing, darlin'. Call me if you need anything." She wiggles her fingers in a goodbye, and PINs out.

His promise means the world to her right now. More than anything she just wants to hold him. And if she has to wait to do that... she is fine with waiting.

April ensures Lionel has everything under control regarding his son before PINpointing to the farmhouse.

((good place to end this part of the scene))

((Sounds good. Do you want to have April join the other thread, or wrap it up?))

((I could have April arrive to do a wrap. If that makes the most sense.))

((That could make sense. That way all the threads are nice and neatly closed up.))

((shall do))
