Beyond Smallville: Dragon’s Beckon
Author’s note: As a salute to the upcoming 40th anniversary of the 1977 Star Wars Movie: A New Hope, episode 4, and the 50th anniversary of the broadcast premiere of the original Star Trek series, I decided to do this ambitious crossover with our favorite Smallville, Justice League, Arrow, and Flash TV series. I was pleasantly surprised when Legends of Tomorrow went time travel – Sci-Fi as well.
As I continue to challenge myself, I’ll try and incorporate elements of these famous movies and TV series into this new story titled Dragon’s Beckon. I noted that the old 1990’s Justice League, Batman, and Superman cartoons toyed a lot with science fiction, so it’s also a genre crossover. The Dragon’s Beckon first appears in my fan fiction classic called Time Shards, which was one of the first fan fics that I ever wrote. This alt universe crossover expands on that story a bit.
This alt-universe fic takes place late in Smallville’s Season 12, as Lois and Clark encounter some new friends, and the trajectory of their lives change. Earth denizens now have to come to grip with the reality that humans are no longer alone in the universe. The Kandorians had been defeated, but at a high cost. Superman and Supergirl are forced to ‘come out’ in a very public way. The years of secrets are now over.
The Batman is suspicious of Superman and Supergirl, and as Bruce Wayne, he heads to Metropolis to investigate. Reports have begun to come into the public eye of space aliens and Metahumans. Clark and Kara have to face the new challenge of duplicity, as they try and maintain two distinctly separate lives. Their roles as Earth’s protectors are questioned by the governments of the world.
A very public and obvious arrival goads the young superheroes into attracting the attention of all of Earth’s peoples. Some awkward moments lead to a new friendship, and forces the dysfunctional Justice League into existence, with Oliver and Jon Jonz as their founders. They must quickly learn to work together as a team, as humanity looks to them for guidance.
Chloe also worries, given their generally horrible experience with Off-Worlders. How would anyone react if they found out without question that many other types of beings inhabit the universe? Her role as Watchtower would necessarily have to expand, as the Justice League adds members.
Character list – Clark, Lois, Kara, Oliver, Chloe, Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Gold Wing, Flash, Lantern, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Lucy Lane, Sam Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Cat Grant, Perry White, Aquaman, Dinah Drake, Tim Drake, Dr. Hugo Strange as well as new characters.
