Werewolf In Smallville

10: super-museum problem.

Eli hale, it- it's impossible. I stared at the picture. It was my dad. My dad's doppelganger is Clark kent. Clark kent is Superman. I went on my phone and searched up Superman. All pictures of my dad, in Blue, Red and Yellow, a triangle with an S on his chest.. it's impossible, it has to be Impossible. "Eli" said Nat, I looked around, the group was walking away. "you okay?" She asked, I nodded, putting my phone in my pocket. "Ya, let's go" I said, we caught up with the group. I listened to every detail of what the tour guide said. I found myself close to Jordan, taking in his scent, It wasn't like anyone else's scent here, there was somthing to it.. it wasn't fully human, it was half Kryptonian I bet. Jonathan's scent was similar to Jordan's, but the Kryptonian wasn't at all as potent as Jordans, does he have powers? And do they even know? I glanced at Nat. Does she know? I think they do. Lois said she has ties with Superman, shown by her writing everything about him, and she knew we'd have to wait to try to find a way back because superman is M.I.A and Clark is on a business trip, so that makes me think I'm right, But then there's the brothers. Jonathan and Jordan are terrible at keeping secrets, so it's making me think otherwise, do they know? And if I'm correct about Jordan having powers then he'd at least have to know, and they were raised by Clark, so they'd recognised their dad, right? What about Nat? she's from another universe and a hero in training, she definitely knows, it makes me more confident about telling her almost everything about me. "And these are miniature X-ray devices, like__" explained Tour guide, I unfocused on what she's saying, thinking about what I've found out. We moved on, five people in black and hats walked over to the guide "hello, I apologise I can't help yo-" informed The guide, the guy closest to her banged her head with a gun, she collapsed, his partners raised there guns at us, I moved infront of Nat, I may not be bullet proof but I have a healing factor better then hers. "Get on the Ground, now" Demanded the leader, we all did as told, me and Nat were hidden at the back of the group. "What's going on?" whispered a student, why are people breaking into a museum? It's a museum, and it doesn't have anything valuable.  "it's rumoured that the museum knows the Identity of Superman" gossiped Another student, oh, that's why. I doubt that's true, but if it is, Jordan and Jonathan are especially in danger, if I'm right. I saw them placing weird discs on the wall, Nat grabbed my wrist. "you trust me?" She whispered, I trust her more than ever. "More than anyone" I said, the lights turned off, next thing I knew we were running, running into the girls toilets. The lights flickered on. It was a lot dimmer than before. "I saw what they were doing, I knew I had to ta-" explained Nat, I covered her mouth, gently. "Were.. weren't there more?" Asked one of the burglars, I opened a stall for Nat to get into, lightly pushing her in. "No there weren't, you're being paranoid" spat another one, I let out a shaky breath. "I heard them talking, they almost realised we ran, sorry" I explained, I removed my hand from her mouth "no need, thanks" she thanked, she pulled out her phone. "damn it I was right, those things they put around the building are blocking the signal" mumbled Nat, she shoved her phone back into her pocket. "we need to figure out a way to contact my dad" she said, her dad knows something I bet. "why? Shouldn't we contact the police?" I smiled, she pulled me closer to her. "trust me, it'll be better if we call my dad" said Nat, time to test my theory. "because he can contact Clark? Oh sorry, I ment Superman" I smirked, she was shocked. "Yo-you know?" She asked, so I was right, she knows- HOLY SHIT I'M RIGHT! "Okay I was right, but Nat I'm not that bad of an idiot, I can recognise someone without glasses on" I said, she Laughed, she covered her mouth to muffle the laughter. "You're one of the smartest people to exist then" she chuckled, does she mean what I think she means? I raised my eyebrows "oh ya, no one else realised, I didn't ethier, I was told" said Nat, I blinked a couple times and shooked my head. "talk about all of this later, we need to figure out a way to get the barrier down" I said, Nat pulled something out of her bag "will this help?" She asked, it was a miniature X-ray device. "You- Does it still work?" I asked, I took it out of her hand, I saw through the door. "It'll definitely help" I said, we might Just have something. "empty your bag, let's see what we have" I Said, she did. We had kind of the same stuff. "Why do you have a lighter?" Asked Nat, I grabbed it out of her hand, slipping it into my shoe. "werewolf reasons, remember?" I asked, she nodded, I said that rudely, didn't I? "Sorry, I know it's unlikely that someone will attack me with wolfsbane, but.." I said, Nat put her hand on my shoulder "it's a layer of protection, I get it Eli, and no need to apologise" she said, she went back to looking through her stuff. "Yes, a layer of protection, like this" I agreed, I picked a knife out of her pile. "I should question this but it's good we have it" I said, I passed her it back, I saw she had an extra pear of socks "I need those" I said, she grabbed them before I could. "why?" She asked, oh right I didn't explain. "if I need to get my claws out, it'll look less weird if I have something like gloves on, I'll need to break them" I explained, she passed me the socks, I put them on, and shifted my claws out. "We should leave the bags here, they're dead weight" I said, I got out the muffin Lois gave us and took a bite. "Better if we're not hungry" I said, Nat started to eat something too. "Ready to go?" I asked, she nodded and slipped the knife into her belt, I grabbed the X-ray device. "Let's go" I said, we ran out of the toilets. "No one's near" I mumbled, no one in sight. "Must be holding them somewhere else now" she mumble, I saw Nat had ahold of her knife, good. "Someone's coming" I Said, she pulled me against the corner, we watch the criminal come into Vue. "I'll handle this" I said, I passed her the M.X-R. I ran to the criminal, I slashed his arm, he dropped his gun, I kicked his gun, shoved him down and smashed his head against the wall. He went limp. I pulled off his mask and put it on myself, I grabbed his gun carefully. "Just hide it Eli" said Nat, I came over to her "do you know how to shoot?" I asked, it's better we have this gun "ya- but" started Nat, I walked back to the unconscious criminal, ripping off his gloves "would you prefer for another criminal to have this gun, or us?" I asked, she Sighed and took the gloves, slipping them on. "Why don't you Just use the gun?" She asked, I grabbed the M.X-R "because I don't know how to use one" I said, she took the gun out of my hands. "You don't?" She asked confusedly, why would I? "My dad had been shot with them his whole life, he only learned out of necessity and he hates guns, and now I have these" I explained, I shook my shifted hands in her face, she Laughed. "Let's go" she chuckled, we continued on our way. "Next time question the criminal, if you can" suggested Nat, I should of done that- I stopped walking "I'll try to question it" I said, I charged at the criminal, I kicked them down, kicked the gun away, I kneeled on them. "where are the school groups?" I demanded, he started laughing, I smashed his head into the ground. "I'll never tell you, you're Just a stupid kid" laughed The criminal, I moved to smash his head I- I was grabbed from behind shoved down to the floor, I felt the barrel of the gun at the back of my head, along with a foot against my back. "he took down Taylor" informed the new guy, that's already been found out. "To bad he didn't Just stick with the group, didn't try to be a hero" said the one I knocked down, I heard the click of the gun... at least I'm not dying by fire... That's a plus, right? BANG! BANG! I- I'm not dead... I'm not dead! I felt pressure release from my back."E- Eli!" Yelled Nat, she ran over to me. "we need to find the others, quickly" I said, she pulled me up and tried to drag me away. I stared at them. A bullet in each back. "I- I had-" started Nat, I hugged her. "Thank you, You saved me" I said, I still felt the barrel of the gun at the back of the head. "I thought I was a goner Nat, thank you" I said, I stopped hugging her, holding her wrist. "I- we need to get going Eli, but thanks" Said Nat, I nodded, we're wasting time.
