Curate, connect, and discover
this is definitely how I originally imagined it from the main post, but the “twins” Au version of this story is also really. I’m eagerly awaiting the next part, and hoping for Clark to show up soon. 👀☺️
Because it looks like it's making a beeline for her fields.
She has no idea what makes her fields such a magnet for this, but she's certain it's not an asteroid. She couldn't say how she knows, just that she does.
It looks like a ship of some sort, with blinking lights and reflective surfaces.
She's debating on whether or not to sound the alarm and call one of Clark's friends, since she doesn't know if this alien will be friendly or not, when she notices something.
That ship isn't coming in smooth.
It is, in fact, tearing itself apart the lower it gets.
Then, with a final, ear piercing boom, it completely shatters.
Martha's eye is drawn to a rather round piece that broke off and shot towards the very edge of her property.
She doesn't call one of Clark's friends.
She gets the first aid kit and gets in the truck.

Dan is flying the Specter Speeder through the Infinite Realms, an unconscious Danny on the floor of it behind him.
The twerp's injured.
He can't treat him.
He has to outrun the GIW and their own Speeders.
In desperation, he does a hard turn right into a temporary portal. The kind that blinks out of existence almost as soon as they get made.
He appears in the exosphere of another Earth.
No GIW Speeder follows him, but he's got a new problem; this thing isn't meant for the force re-entering Earth's atmosphere will put on it.
He puts it on autopilot, ordering it to find an empty area with good Ley Lines, and turns to start arranging both himself and Danny into the escape pod.
He can't activate it, or it'll also be subjected to the forces currently tearing the Speeder apart.
He'll have to stay in the pod, shielding his clone/twin as best as he can, while they hurtle towards Earth.
The last thing he remembers is the pod breaking away from the Speeder and hitting the ground.
The next thing he knows, he's waking up on the floor of a farmhouse, covered in bandages.
