Emotional Detachment

Coming soon, right? ;)

[Cardinal]

I'm sure glad ajfinn can't add sound to her posts, not that her singing voice would be bad :D...I just don't want to hear Remy Zero sing that #$%#$&^ theme song again!

The song "Superman" by Five For Fighting that they used in Stray would be much preferred as a theme!

[Kal-El & Me]

I agree. But if you have a jumpy introduction like in Scare, Unsafe, Commencement and other episodes like that the Remy Zero theme song is better.

[LuvClana]

PPMS! I love this one. Can't wait for an update :D

[NYC300Z]

Emotional Detachment ~ Chapter XIII ~ Unveiled

Impetuosity and instant decisiveness were two qualities Lana had never taken the time to familiarize herself with. That could possibly have been where the irony of her excursion to Metropolis incurred.

The steely hues and metallic atmosphere customary to only Metropolis wasn’t nearly as inviting as the liveliness and color of the windy city. Her usual journeys, infrequent and far between, often centered around fashion shows and label meetings. The risk of encountering a familiar stranger was far, far too great, thus Lana had never ventured out into the city on her own, or at all if it wasn’t completely necessary.

Quiet and contained were the words of choice to describe the elevator ride to the thirty-first floor. Her exhales coming steady and level, her mind clear and focused. The plane ride had been spent resisting emotion and resigning to passive assertion. Although internally, she was in absolute disarray, her external ferocity and intellectual ability remained completely in tact.

Two brisk knocks and one short invitation later, Lana was striding into the dimly lit office of Lex Luthor.

“Lana,” the bald billionaire began from behind his desk, “when I got your message it sounded important. Is everything alright?”

Ignoring Lex’s inquiry on her well-being, Lana approached Lex’s desk confidently, without the fear or hesitancy characteristic of his usual visitors.

Within seconds she was before him, in all her ‘LL’ glory. Her face expressionless, she tossed the plain manila envelope, that had been the direct source of her most recent mental strife, and watched coolly as it slid to a halt right in front of him.

“What’s this?” he asked, taking hold of the envelope and unsealing it.

“Documents from the first time I filed for divorce,” Lana answered, still maintaining her apathetic composure, “with Jason and my signature.”

Lex resisted the urge to gape at the papers he removed from the envelope; she was indeed correct, they had been signed.

“Where did you get these?”

“I found them tucked away in one of Jason’s drawers,” Lana responded with a definite edge in her voice, the strength behind her indifference façade waning gradually.

Attempting, less effectively, to be as cool and undetached as Lana, Lex continued to stare at the papers. Why the hell does he still have these?

When Lex’s silence was the only thing that sounded in the room, Lana took the opportunity to fill it with some of her own thoughts.

“The petition for dissolution was signed, and so was his response saying that he wasn’t going to resist,” she began strongly. Taking a deep, soothing breath, Lana continued, “I want to know if I can still follow through on this.”

“You want the divorce?” Lex asked, before he could retain his curiosity.

“Yes,” Lana replied matter-of-factly, not bothering to explain her position.

“I, uh, I thought things were going good between you two,” Lex offered, his own usual emotionless manner being replaced by an atypical panic that fell completely unnoticed by Lana. He had distracted himself with rummaging through the sheaf. Searching, scouring, scavenging. It better be in here…it has to be in here…

“It’s just as easy to have a problem with someone you don’t see than to not,” Lana remarked, having anticipated this question. Her voice was strong and powerful, thankfully not at all reflecting of her jumbled insides.

“So will I be able to go through with it?”

“Uh,” Lex stalled, still in hot pursuit of a particular document. “Lana, these things take time. And this file has to be at least five years old.”

“Some cases take years to be completed, Lex,” retorted Lana easily, having found herself blessed with another question she’d foreseen.

Under the guise of casual perusal, Lex’s incessant sifting went unnoticed further still. “In Illinois you have to be separated for at least six months-”

“What do you call years of off-again on-again business trips. Lex, I’ve seen more of you in the past six months than I’ve seen of my husband.”

Running out of arguments fast, Lex mistakenly let out a sigh of relief when he finally found what he’d been looking for. Feigning a look of polite puzzlement, Lex removed a single paper from the pile and read it thoroughly. “Lana, you know I’d help you in any way that I can, but I don’t think you can resurrect this file.”

“Why?”

Disregarding Lana’s question, Lex held out the paper for her to grasp. “Why did you sign this?”

Lana read through the paper; the further her eyes traveled, the more color drained from her face. When they finally reached the bottom, they opened wide in mutinous horror. “Lex, I-I didn’t sign this.”

“It looks exactly like your signature, Lana.”

“I, it must have been forged. I swear, I’ve never seen this paper before,” Lana choked out, her resolute wall crumbling slowly.

“I believe you, Lana, but I doubt the plagiarism defense will hold much weight in court.”

“So I’m stuck?” she exhaled, collapsing into one of the chairs opposite Lex. Lana closed her eyes in an attempt to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall.

“Lana,” Lex addressed, leaning forward slightly in his seat, bringing his bald countenance into light, “what is this about?”

In response, Lana sniffed. “I don’t know…what am I going to do?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do I tell him I found…it?” her voice cracked as she began waving the paper in her hand.

Lex let out an audible sigh as he stood from his chair. Making his way around the desk, he stooped before Lana as she shielded her eyes with her free hand.

“Lana,” Lex cooed, gently sliding her hand away so he could wipe her tears with an immaculate handkerchief. “If Jason wanted you to see it, I don’t think he would have hidden it. He loves you, but he was desperate and afraid. He didn’t want to lose you so he did something rash to hold onto you. I don’t admire his decision, but doesn’t everyone deserve a second chance?”

Although Lana didn’t answer, she allowed Lex to pull her into his arms. They stayed that way for several minutes, Lana sniffling into Lex’s shoulder while he rubbed her back consolingly.

Once Lana had fully regained her composure, she found herself highly uncomfortable in Lex’s arms. She pulled away with a polite smile, thanked Lex, then exited the room before he could call her back.

Lex picked up the abandoned paper that had been separated from it’s mates and returned to his desk. It read:

TERMINATION OF DISSOLUTION PROCESS

His eyes found Lana’s neat signature at the bottom and contracted to slits. If he believed in luck, he would have dubbed himself the luckiest man alive. Rather than being relieved at the moment, he was infuriated. The plan, his plan, had been near irreparable ruin. As he picked up the phone to dial out, he remember the events that inspired his perfectly conceived, master scheme…

***

~Metropolis 2011~

Lex couldn’t help but succumb to the smug grin that threatened to take over his bare face. He had been waiting for five years for this moment, the moment where his plan would be set in motion. As the day arrived with the authority of the closed door he was gazing so fondly at, his chipper mood couldn’t have been abated if someone entered his office and informed him that his father had survived the disastrous meteor shower of ‘05.

As the reverberations from the shut door settled, Lex let out a pleasant sigh. His grin wasn’t even deterred when his eyes settled on the latest copy of the Planet, revealing the loathsome Jason Teague plastered haughtily on the cover.

Lex’s affection for Jason Teague could only be compared with the affection he reserved for his deceased father, the devil who’d haunted him since the day he was born.

The deep seated hatred Lex held for Jason wasn’t even a personal matter, because, Lex knew, Jason was a decent guy. His problem cropped up with the fact that Jason was a spoiled rich kid who’d weaseled his way into the corporate world under the wings of his powerful parents. Yet, he was welcomed with open arms and greeting cards. Lex, however, was accused of the same transgressions and was rejected because of them. Of course, his father wasn’t ever going to win the Nobel Prize for Peace, but Mr. and Mrs. Teague weren’t the most upstanding of citizens either.

What antagonized Lex most, was that the accusations against him were completely false. He had no help in surviving with corporate barracudas and holding his own against military tyrants. No, he’d went in with his wits and talent and came out with victory. So why, then, had the victor not gotten his spoils?

Jason was happy, popular, respected, loved…all things Lex had always wanted and never had. But, he intended to change all that. He knew a little known fact about Jason Teague that would bring his world crashing down around him. He knew his weakness. And he knew how to exploit it.

So, as he remembered the way the door had slammed from the abrupt departure of a rattled and upset Lana Lang Teague, Lex continued to smirk, his plan unfolding perfectly.

Lana had cried and cried about how Jason had turned so angry so suddenly. He’d screamed at her, accused her of cheating with her co-worker, Pierre. When she questioned him, his response was that ‘a little birdie whispered in his ear…’

Lex listened attentively, taking in her every word, taking away her every sorrow. He hadn’t been the birdie who whispered in Jason’s ear, but he had whispered in another bird’s ear, who whispered into Jason’s. As Lana clung tightly to him, Lex merely smirked into her raven hair, relishing in the sweet, lavender scent of prewar victory.

Playing the role of concerned friend to perfection, Lex advised Lana to talk things out, but she’d refused. She’d come to him because she knew he wasn’t afraid of Jason Teague. That, he was not. He obligingly helped her file for divorce, offering his best lawyers to her service.

***
Being the good man he was, Jason signed the response, stating that he wouldn’t resist the file, immediately. He didn’t disclose it to Lana’s lawyers however, in hopes that they could work it out within the thirty-day time period he had to submit his response.

The night before the thirtieth day had arrived, brought Jason finding himself packing his things from the house he intended to leave to his beloved Lana.

“Leaving so soon?”

Jason turned from his open suitcases to see Lex Luthor standing solemnly in his bedroom door.

“What do you want, Lex?” Jason snapped, facing his open luggage. It wasn’t lost on him that Lex didn’t have the praise and appreciation for him as most.

“Now, Jason, why do you think I wanted something?” Lex asked, his tone level, shielding his taunting sarcasm.

“You always do.”

“You’re right,” Lex nodded, removing an envelope from an inside pocket as he approached Jason. “I want to help you salvage your marriage.”

Jason stared at Lex as he held out the envelope. He accepted it, not breaking his suspicious stare until he had the document inside open for him to read. His mouth fell open in shock.

“How did you get her to sign this?”

“That’s not important,” Lex had answered, shaking his head for emphasis. “No, what’s important is that you go talk to her. Confess your sins, admit your mistakes. You and I both know you still want to be with her.”

“Why are you doing this?”

“If you know as much about me as you claim, Jason,” he’d replied as he strolled around the room, “then you’d know I want something in return.”

“What?” Jason asked, knowing the offer was too good to be true.

“The document is yours if you agree to go into business with me.”

***
Now Lex stared pleasantly at the door Jason had just exited. Lana had taken him back. Their partnership was agreed on. And stage one of his plan was complete.

***
~Chicago 2016, Present Day~

“So, the bodyguard is waiting up for the rich man’s wife to return to the safety and comforts of her own suburban home. You know, you play the part of knight in shining armor to perfection, Clark.”

Rae had just descended the stairs to find Clark at the kitchen counter, reading an open portfolio by a single overhead light. A moment past before he registered that she’d used his given name; he looked to her questioningly.

“Lana told me everything,” she replied, reading Clark’s expression correctly as she joined him at the counter. “You’re quite the man of mystery, Mr. Kent.”

“Why do you say that?” Clark asked, his voice faltered with discomfort.

“Because Lana seems to know so much about you, yet so little in the same respect. What happened between you two?”

Clark laughed, though the color spread through his cheeks. “That’s the question of the day.”

When Rae eyed him curiously, Clark went on to explain Sean’s daylong interrogation.

“That sounds like Sean, he’s a smart kid. But you’re avoiding the question.”

“I’m not,” Clark denied, focusing on the open folder in front of him. He could deal with the speechless and flirtatious sides of Rae, but the investigative aspect of her personality was a pitch he wasn’t prepared for.

Her beautiful brown orbs bored into Clark’s crystalline blue, offering an implicit form of cross-examination that was far more successful that the verbal harassment.

“Why does it matter what happened between us?” he huffed, turning a page in the open folder.

“If Lana was single, would you date her?” Rae inquired, very directly.

Clark didn’t respond immediately, thinking hard on Rae’s question. Would I…? “It doesn’t matter, because she’s not,” Clark replied, his voice even.

“Hypothetically,” Rae prompted.

“Why?” Clark asked, knowing what his answer would be but not wanting to disclose it. “Do you know something I don’t?”

“Maybe,” Rae smirked with a flirtatious wink. She heaved a sigh as she picked up her bag. “I know you two had a rough past and Lana’s my best friend. If you do get another chance, Clark, try not to screw it up.”

Rae grinned at him as she walked towards the door. Before she got to it she gave him a sexy smile as her eyes traversed his body for the umpteenth time, “I don’t want to have to hurt you.”

And with one more wink, she was out the door, leaving a confused Clark at the counter. What was that about? he wondered as he returned to the document he’d retrieved from Jason’s office labeled:

UNDERWATER PURIFICATION STATION.

***

“Lex-Lex calm down-”

“Why the hell did you still have them? Did you not think she’d find them? You almost ruined everything!”

“Ruined what?” Jason replied through the speaker phone, completely perplexed.

“It doesn’t matter now,” Lex spat, trying to calm himself down before something more damaging slipped. “When I said make sure there is no incriminating evidence, this would have been included.”

“Why? It has nothing to do with my business.”

But it has everything to do with my business. “You don’t have anything else like this lying around do you?”

“Lex, I swear. I don’t even know how she found that, do you think Tom has been snooping around?”

“I don’t doubt it,” retorted a fuming Lex. Clark couldn’t have had anything to do with this…Lana wouldn’t have come to me if he had. Or maybe that's what this is about...it's working better than I imagined.

“We’re going to make sure none of these papers are ever seen again,” he hissed as he sent the papers whirring down a paper shredder. “And I don’t want you in contact with Lana, Sean, or Tom until this matter is settled.”

“What matter? Lex what are you talking about?” questioned Jason, not at all aware of why Lex was making such a big something out of nothing.

“Listen, Jason,” Lex sighed, trying to maintain his oily manner. “Lana’s not happy with you right now. She thinks the termination document was forged-”

“Was it?” Jason interrupted, his voice rising exponentially.

“No, it was not.”

“Well why was she acting like she’d never seen it? Did you force her to sign it? What are you-”

“Jason! Calm down. Everything will be fine, you don’t have to worry. This plan requires patience,” he preached. “In due time, all will be revealed, and everything will be resolved.”

“And in the meantime?”

“In the meantime, try to stay out of trouble.”

***
She opened the door to her home quietly, closing off the connection to the early morning music of chirping birds and rustling leaves. Tip-toeing inside, Lana noticed the light on in the kitchen. As she turned the corner, she found Clark, staring back at her with concern.

It was only then that she noticed the tears; streaming, coursing, flowing down her soft skin, running her light make-up down her cheeks. Knowing it was much too late to mask her pain, Lana averted her eyes and proceeded towards the staircase without mumbling a word to Clark.

Sensing her anguish, Clark stood and barred her way up the stairs with his impressive figure. “Lana?” he whispered softly, care and concern evident in his voice and expression. He hated to see her cry.

“Clark,” she choked out, seeking refuge in his open arms. Clark quickly obliged her, encircling her in his firm embrace. He allowed her to cry into his shoulder for several minutes while he held her supportively, whispering words of comfort and encouragement into her ear. The mysterious magic that was uniquely Clark’s had the desired effect on her. It soothed her somber soul and stole away her fear and worries. Once Lana had settled down, Clark led her to the couch, knelt before her, and asked what had upset her.

Lana shook her head, trying unsuccessfully to brush Clark off. Her emphatic desire to open up to him battled fiercely with the opposition, which wanted to forget the night had even happened.

She had barely begun to rise before Clark gingerly linked their hands and tugged her back down to the couch. Too weak with grief to resist, Lana allowed Clark to guide her back down as she stared sadly at their joined hands.

“Lana,” he murmured softly, the light from the kitchen reflecting magically in his blue-green eyes. Clark used his thumb to massage the dainty hand he held while using his free hand to wipe away every tear that fell from her shining eyes. He stared directly into them, seeing her emotions raging inside and wanting nothing more than to ease her suffering. Clenching her hand more tightly, Clark whispered, “You know you can tell me anything.”

Seeing the blatant honesty and affection in his enchanting eyes, more tears began to fall from her own. Clark managed a comforting half-smile as he wiped the cascade, his hand lingering longer on her cheek than necessary.

“What happened?” he pursued as he pulled his hand reluctantly away from her smooth, moist skin. Lana had closed her eyes at the contented feeling of Clark’s strong hand stroking so gently at her skin, but when that warm sensation abated she looked up, not bothering to mask her disappointment.

Lana released a slow, trembling breath as Clark waited too patiently for her to explain why she’d arrived home at four in the morning, her face soaked with tears. Why is he being so sweet about this?

He gave her hand another encouraging squeeze, silently praying that she would let him in and tell him what was ailing her. Taking another deep, steadying breath, Lana proceeded to tell Clark the events that followed Rae finding the five year old envelope.

As soon as Clark had first shrouded her with his arms and attention, she knew she’d end up disclosing everything. There was something about being in his arms, feeling him so close to her, she couldn’t describe the feeling with words, but it inspired her. She felt stronger than she had in a long time.

Clark listened carefully as she explained what she’d found, how she and Rae discussed what she should do, how Lex had reacted, the termination paper she’d found. Lana had begun crying as she recalled five years earlier when Jason arrived, pleading with her, begging to be blessed with one more chance. Lana had been anticipating Jason’s response, but was caught off guard when he arrived with roses and the most sincere apology she’d ever heard.

Clark held her as she cried continuously, miserable and furious that she’d allowed Jason to sweep her off her feet that day.

“How could I have been so stupid?” Lana sobbed into Clark’s shoulder.

“No,” he murmured. “No you were forgiving, don’t be so hard on yourself.”

“I should have known,” sniffed Lana. “I asked him what was going to happen to the divorce case, but he said he’d have it taken care of. But-he had my signature on that paper before he’d even stopped by…”

“Lana, it’s okay,” Clark comforted. He’d abandoned his place on the floor in front of Lana for a more comfortable spot on the couch beside her. She leaned into him, soaking his tee with her own woes. Clark made no complaint, he simply held her tightly, whispering that he’d never let anything happen to her, that everything would be okay.

Lana relished in his words, in his arms, in his eyes. Gradually, her sobs faded as she relaxed in his powerful arms. Clark continued to hold and console her as she submitted to the inviting sleep that beckoned her.

A/N: Sorry for the wait, I had to do some research with this chapter, I wanted to be as legally accurate as possible. If I’m not, my apologies in advance, I’ll just plead that my fic is in the future so things can change lol.

I thought this chapter might take the gold for longest yet, but I think ‘Busy’ still takes the cake. Once again, there was something I was intending on saying, but it was lost in the length of this chapter. Just leave feedback and I’ll be satisfied. I can't thank you enough for the great responses you all leave, they really make my day :).

PPMS!!! ;):):D

We kind of got that in the previous chapter. Don't you remember this?:

“Wow,” she said slowly as she folded the letter. “You had it bad for this Clark guy, but why are you showing me this now?”

Lana pursed her lips as she continued to stare at the letter in Rae’s hand. Her emotions battling so wildly and furiously inside her, Lana folded her arms across her chest, feeling terribly nauseous. She turned around so her back was to her best friend as she said her next words. “Because Tom Johnson is not the bodyguard’s real name.”

“What?”

Then it clicked, the letter, Lana’s reluctance to talk about him, the tension between the two…

Emotional Detachment ~ Chapter XIV ~ Temptation

The first night Clark was haunted by his recurring nightmare, he had made the implicit vow of avoiding any activities that would induce his slumber. He’d patrolled the house, perused the bookshelves, and pillaged the refrigerator. On many a midnight outing, he’d encounter Lana, in Jason’s office, in the kitchen, in the attic. Determined not to give her any indication to the severity of his nighttime visions, he’d purposely found things to busy himself with in the midnight hours.

Unknown to him was the amount of time a Kryptonian could go without sleep, he wasn’t actually feeling the effects, but it was all he could do to not drift away while Lana rested so comfortably in his arms. He lazily fingered her silky raven hair, drew squiggly patterns on her back with his fingers, and smiled each time she’d murmur or turn in her dreams.

Thoughts of his mission clouded his hazy thoughts and brought with it a menacing scowl. He had liked Jason upon their first encounter, he seemed like the type of man Lana deserved; honest and upfront. Though, Scott had mentioned they’d filed for divorce twice, the particulars were never revealed to him. Through her tears, Lana had informed Clark that both counts were due to Jason’s unmanageable temper, and coincidentally, both counts resulted in Lex convincing her to hold her marriage together. She found his assistance to be that of a true friend, but Clark reserved his doubts. Friend and Lex Luthor were two terms that never interacted without a fine-print disclaimer.

Scott had originally guaranteed that he'd have no reason to ever encounter Lex, but the deeper he got into this case, the more Clark found that dreadful meeting to be unavoidable.

His troubled thoughts weighed heavily on his mind as Lana stirred slightly, mumbled incoherently, and nuzzled closer into Clark's chest, her head bumping him lightly on the chin. He smiled down at her, but his smile quickly faded as he felt her hand slide slowly up the side of his chest. His skin tingled and burned at her touch as the guilty hand rode higher, unknowingly awakening every tender nerve in his impenetrable body.

Clark continued to stare as Lana tucked her dainty hand beneath his back, gripping him like a child would grasp a fuzzy teddy bear. He wasn't however, the fitting size for such an action, but the sleeping beauty atop him did not seem aware. Using the hand she'd just relocated, she pulled herself further still into Clark's warmth, setting his own skin on fire.

His hands, which had been toying with her delicate hair at the time, grew oddly stiff as he lost any intelligent thought of where to place them next. Certainly he could not touch, that would be wrong, of course. But the desire inside him burned a furnace of pure heat and unadulterated passion that he had never experienced before.

This mature, masculine, unfamiliar, internal inferno progressed him years in the intricacies of male anatomy, yet regressed him decades back to the pre-puberty naiveté of a young boy with first-date-jitters. He lay, so comfortable, relishing in the sweet scent that was Lana, simmering in the tingling heat their bodies created, but yet, so uncomfortable to the extreme that he had no idea what to do with his own two hands.

Awkward was the applicable word for Clark. His hands, so useful in farm chores, clacking computer keys, sending footballs sailing; they had never factored much into what he did with them, but now, at five-thirty in the morning, their position was crucial.

Over his head, under his body, spread-eagle, Clark had never been more uncomfortable, especially considering he’d never been more comfortable in his life. The constant contradictions in combination with the lack of sleep sent Clark’s restless mind spiraling over a cliff of mental instability accompanied by emotional ecstasy and with that bittersweet confusion, he allowed his eyes to droop and sleep to ensnare him.

***
Lana opened her eyes slowly and gazed around. She wasn’t in her bedroom. Blinking several times to clear the fierce and intrusive rays of the sun, Lana focused more clearly. The living room? How did I get down here?

The last thing she remembered was being in her room talking to Rae… But as unrelenting as the sun’s rays, the blur that had become last night flooded her mind, nearly causing a mental concave with the sudden rush of misery.

As memories of her last waking moments teased at her consciousness, Lana remembered where she had been, and with whom. Not knowing at all what to expect, she inched her head up in the most sluggish manner possible, drawing out the moment when she’d finally face the inevitable. Her eyes, not at all disappointed by the slow progression, glided giddily up the torso of a very fit, very chiseled man. She noticed the dark smudges on his white shirt and chalked it up to her own running mascara.

As her chin completed the ninety degree turn and came to rest on her make-shift mattress’ chest, she found herself literally face to face with Clark, sleeping soundly beneath her.

Still lingering somewhere in the gray area between slumber and consciousness, Lana’s formidable angel, better known as her conscience, failed to make it’s usual appearance. The devil never sleeps however, and neither did the little vixen in Lana’s mind.

Rae is right. He is really cute, especially when he’s sleeping…but when he’s awake I see those eyes and I can’t help but stare into them, just like they do to me. I wonder if he knows what he does to me. Not even Jason can make me feel like this…so wanted, needed.

The angel was stirring…

What am I saying? He hasn’t even said anything, just that he’s here if I need him. When doesn’t he say that?

But when doesn’t he say things that can have so many interpretations? Just like when his father was sick, he told me that when your heart’s been through something like that the scars just don’t magically disappear. That, just like everything else he says, has a double meaning.

Am I making a big deal out of something trivial, though? Clark isn’t the easiest to read, what if I can’t do it as well as I used to…he has changed over the years. Much more detached with his emotions, I can see it.

Lana’s devilish side, which she would swear was channeling Rae, grew more increasingly incessant. But he’s hot. And you’re on top of him…

I’m married and he’s…

Is he single…?

Lana’s mental deliberation froze as Clark shifted beneath her. She watched with baited breath as his long lashes fluttered open revealing those beautiful blue-green eyes that filled her more completely than anything else.

“Hey,” he whispered with a small grin.

“Hey yourself,” she returned, smiling wide. Realizing her chin had still taken up residence on his chest, she lifted herself slowly into an upright position. Finding herself straddling Clark’s left leg, Lana hadn’t realized his arms were around her waist until they had begun to slide down her body as she moved, coming to rest on her upper thighs. Noticing this as well, Clark quickly retracted them and pushed himself upwards to face Lana.

“Sleep okay?” he asked, his voice soft and soothing, music to Lana’s ears.

“Great.”

“Good.”

They continued to gaze at one another until Lana broke the silence.

“I wanted to thank you, for last night, I-”

“No, it’s okay. What are friends for?”

“Friends?” Lana repeated monotonously, “Are you happy with that?”

“Uh,” Clark hesitated.

“I’m not happy with that, Clark.” Lana began closing in on Clark, all thoughts of Jason, her conscience, or anything else thrown out into the oblivion. Clark was too good to her, she had to show him how important he was.

“Uh, Lana,” Clark began, his own words trembling along with the rest of his body. He would willingly participate in any physical activities Lana cared to pursue, but he had a conscience as well, one with a bit more will and fortitude than Lana’s. “You’re married-”

Lana placed a gentle finger to his soft lips to silence him. “Shh,” she ordered with an uncharacteristically seductive grin. She didn’t want to hear anymore talking, especially none about Jason.

The distance between them shrinking rapidly, both closed their eyes to prepare for their joining as Lana’s lips clashed with Clark’s. They had barely made contact before the kiss flourished and intensified. Lana was quickly running out of breath, but she continued to pour her twelve years of Clark-withdrawal into the kiss-

CLANK!

Lana jerked awake with a start.

A/N: Do to demand, this chapter has been broken in two. Please leave response, the rest maybe later today, but tomorrow more likely. The next sounds like Alliance, but what did you think of Temptation?

[Cardinal]

Heh, heh, suckas! See what you get when you wait up long enough...that's right another 4ever update, and no, 4ever does NOT refer to how long it takes her to write. :D

As for the story...go, Lana, go!!!! Now if she'll only carry her dream over to the waking world. :p

[itsallinthespelling]

Great update, but i was lookin foward to a real kiss, not for it to turn out to be a dream. I guess though that that was practice for the real thing.

Yes hopefully dreams can come true!!

Due to demand huh?? Well looks like I got my wish! An update all ready for when I got back from Washington DC!!

So your going to post the rest of the Chapter today or what??
Don't let Smallville man upset you and make you wait another 3 days!!

[lily]

This fic is amazing!!! :D:D I was just going to read a little bit of it but I got so wrapped up in the story I stayed up practically all night reading it.:D It's one of the best Clana fics I've ever read. ppms!!!

[Scotty]

Amazing is an understatement!

[ajfinn]

Oh, holy cow, my heart was thumping right along with Clarks . . . and then with Lana, and then . . . Clunk! or whatever the word it was you used :lol:

Aren't you always the one who calls me out because I make you feel all fuzzy, then drop you off a cliff? Huh? Aren't you that very girl? *rolls eyes*

In any case, I'm on the edge of my keyboard waiting for your next installment. This fic makes me jump around with anxiousness. Wonderful!

[Cardinal]

I figure that if 4Ever gives us an admittedly truncated update, then the time alotted for her subsequent update should be likewise truncated!

Translation: You don't GET three days, you only get 1.5! :lol:

[MBCorp]

I'm not a fan of Clana. Anybody who has read any of my posts knows that. This is actually the first Clana story I have ever read. But someone recommended this fic to me as a really good story, never mind the pairing. And wow, this is a good fic. You're a very talented writer, 4Ever, to write a good fic and have someone like it even if they don't normally read the pairing. It's well written, and I actually really like the Clana romance in it. And you do an awesome job with Evil Lex. So yeah, I may not be a Clana fan but this fanfiction story rocks. PPMS!

[SVsleuth]

Wow, 4Ever, even MBCorp likes your fic! MBCorp probably will be floored when she finds out you are a sophomore in highschool! BTW, did you recover your story update, or are you re-writing it? Hoping you get it back & can post it soon.

Sorry MBCorp - I'm an idiot. :\ I guess my typing is really bad & I missed the "s"?

[Cardinal]

MBCorp is a woman, I think.

[SmallvilleMan]

Yeah, he is a she Sv. As for this story it's okay, i think it can make my top 20 favorites.:lol:

[MBCorp]

Yeah, I'm a woman.:p And I am really surprised that 4Ever is a sophomore in high school. It's really impressive writing for someone in high school!

[Meg101]

Ah Nuts! You ended it there?!?! I am not going to be able to stand it! One good thing about stupid computer damage is that when I come back, I get to read a bunch of long updates, but now I am stuck waiting again. Keep up the good work!

[SVsleuth]

Welcome back, Meg 101!!!!!

[Meg101]

Thanks so much, it's so good to be back, and it would be even better if You would update 4 ever!!!!!!!! and not take after you name and take 4 ever to update........... yeah sorry, I am really tired and just happy to be back.

[kewl]

wow 4Ever, ur story really rocks!!!! u even got MBCorp to read it and she's not even a Clana lover!!! way to go 4Ever!!!! :D

[ajfinn]

*ajfinn raises her eyes to heaven and pleads with the computer angels to come fix 4ever's computer problem so she can post today!*

I've posted MY daily update, now all I have to do is keep hitting my refresh button, waiting for yours :D

[NYC300Z]

4ever it's been over three days!! omg this really is taking 4ever!! :lol: I really hope u get ur e-mail fixed!!

[Cardinal]

What, aj? You mean you haven't subscribed to her thread yet?

Has anyone else noticed that Meg101 came back right about the time that 4Ever fell off the update map?

Could they be the same person? Or...have Meg's computer gremlins found their way to 4Ever's corner of the internet?

[NYC300Z]

lol yeah even i'm subscribed and i don't even know how to!! :lol:

[Ketchup]

Maybe they are related? Their writing genius must have been shared in their genes.

For some reason I thought she was in college. Oh well I guess her writing is so good that people think that.
Or maybe she just wants people to think that she's in high school so she can get more compliments on her writing.
*Squints eyes and looks sideways suspiciously.*
:eek:

Cardinal :rolleyes: Now really, of course I'm subscribed to this thread!!

But in the Clana fix Clubhouse, she told us that she emailed the update to herself, then guess what???? The email won't open up. SO, that is why I'm calling down the computer angels. She said she's rewriting it today, but . . . I'm desperate.

She left Clark and Lana snuggled on the couch! For pity's sake!!!!!!! :eek:

[Ketchup]

Im not subscribed ot any threads... yup.

[SmallvilleMan]

I wish i weren't, then i wouldn't have to see my inbox full of threads that i left for certain reasons. Mainly Lana hating threads that i got very tired of.

[Ketchup]

You know u can unsubscribe rite?

[booze_is_me09]

ARRGH! stupid computers! PPMS!

[4EverSmallville]

Sorry this isn't an update. Alliance will probably be up late tomorrow. Seems long, but that's just the mental perspective. I came in to thank everyone and add that if you want to read the first two paragraphs of Alliance they are posted here. I hope the link works.

Today's the day right? I just got home from work and there's no update!

[Ketchup]

Update! Plz? =/ =( =\

[luckykentcharm21]

I'm missing the update ;0(

[Scotty]

:( :( :(

[ajfinn]

This is ajfinn, 4ever's update attorney. Due to the unequivocal pressure she is receiving to update, it is necessary to put aside certain rumors that have been flooding the boards:

4ever is NOT having therapy at Belle Reeve.
4ever is NOT in Tahiti with Tom Welling.
4ever is NOT the lead role in Thirst.
4ever is NOT teaching Lana how to iron.
4ever is NOT auditioning for the role of Wonder Woman.
4ever is NOT traveling the world in a hot air balloon.
4ever is NOT in jail for stalking the Smallville writers.
4ever is NOT a meteor freak.
4ever is NOT avoiding us.

However, I cannot confirm nor deny that 4ever is in talks with Warner Brothers Studios to produce her fic as a film in 2006.

[Cardinal]

To sleep, perchance to dream...

but there ain't gonna be no dreamin' 'til 4Ever finally posts the promised update!

[Ketchup]

When I wake up tomorrow, Im expecting an update from you =P Hehe.

[SVsleuth]

Oh, man! I thought sure there would be an update by 12:30 a.m.! Well, I know 4Ever won't let us down. The update may be a bit late, but I bet it will be awesome!

[Cardinal]

Welcome to the August 17th meeting of the 4EverSmallville Stalkers' Society!

Society members names can be read on the top of the Clana fanfic page.

[NYC300Z]

oh no i'm going to Pennsylvania tonight and 4ever still hasn't updates! This is taking for ever litterally! I'll be checking when I get to Pennsylvania! you better believe it!

[Cardinal]

This just in: Noted Clana fanfic author and midwestern high school student, 4EverSmallville, is missing tonight. A nationwide internet hunt is underway to learn the whereabouts of the 14-year-old girl know as 4Ever. Who, by the way, is taking forever to update her much beloved story, Emotional Detachment.

As we speak milk cartons are being printed with her likeness...or would be if we had an actual picture. If you see this girl on any internet site, please contact the authorities at the K-Site Clana fanfic page for assistance in apprehending this fugitive.

Thank you!

[NYC300Z]

Hey Cardinal 4evers 15 lol

[SVsleuth]

11 A.M Wednesday - and she still didn't update? Maybe Clark Kent showed up at her house & took her on a date or something. THAT might be a good excuse... :lol: We're not trying to annoy you 4Ever. It's just, this is one of THE BEST stories, & we all want to know what happens next. I guess you're busy living your real life, or having writer's block, or dating Clark Kent, or ??? something. I guess I'll check back later. I KNOW it didn't get incinerated by that iron, did it?

[Cardinal]

4Ever says it's a 28,000 character update.

Maybe, but I think I'm changing her name to WHATever! :D

* Cue Foreigner *

So long,
I've been looking too hard,
I've been waiting too long,
Sometimes you don't know what you'll find,
I only know it's a matter of time...

Update soon, 4Ever! ;)

[binkys711]

Ya'll are mean! :D Poor girl stayed up until 4 am getting that update done, and she promised it would be posted as soon she woke up this morning and had a chance to read through it.

Take deep steadying breaths.

*ajfinn is pounding the floor in a tantrum! Where's that freakin' bleep bleepin update?!?!*

Kidding 4ever . . . it's always worth the wait!

*ajfinn plots to not update for the next week -- knows it's a good way to run up post total*

I just counted for you 4ever . . . 62 posts since your last update. If that doesn't show you how desperate we are, nothing will. ((Ketchup, put your shirt back on! *Ketchup has painted "update now" on his chest with ketchup, of course!*))

Do your friends at school have any idea how popular you are with the older crowd? :lol: :rotfl: :lol:

[SVsleuth]

Oh, I see it now. Well, in that case, you're off the hook 4Ever. I went to bed at 1:30 & slept till 10, so I guess you deserve to sleep in too. Looking forward eagerly to that really long update. Thanks for lovin' us enough to stay up half the night writing for us. - SV

:confused: That wasn't supposed to be there yet :lol:. I was going to reread it, but why bother now lol. One second and I'll just post it all and edit later I guess. Pardon any errors for the time being.

Emotional Detachment ~ Chapter XV ~ Alliance

Lana's eyes flew open at the distant, but audible, clattering sound. Her distinct frown and rosy complexion clearly conveyed her utter displeasure at being torn so violently from a wonderful dream. His lips had been so soft...

The raucous continued and Lana found it more and more difficult to cling to the fragments of her spine-tingling dream that remained. The sweet memories slipped through her fingers like grains in an hourglass and by the time she'd lifted her head off her company's inviting chest, she could only recall, vividly however, the soft, sensual touch of his lips. What she'd give to experience that feeling once more. It had been a dream, but it was a dream she'd gladly dream again. Her usual nightmares consisted of angst-ridden memories and bittersweet encounters, a little levity, along with a kiss or two, was indeed refreshing.

Rising, careful to not awaken her sleeping companion, Lana found herself in a déjà vu inspiring position that instantly brought back vibrant flashes of a recent dream once forgotten. Smirking at the inane debate she’d had with her repressed alter ego in her dream, Lana straddled Clark’s waist, brazenly gazing at his flawless upper body through his thin white tee. The fact that he was sleeping soundly beneath her granted the pleasant luxury of freedom to candidly portray her lustful glances. It was an exhilarating relief to not have to mask her forbidden desires, and in her eyes, if she flushed her system of the obligatory yearning, she would spend less of her waking hours attempting to sneak private, pleasurable peeks.

As clear images of her dream began to, once again, slip through the fine cracks of her mind, they were replaced instantaneously with reminders of the emotionally eventful day she’d had before.

And I thought things were bad before I saw the divorce papers. I can’t believe my biggest concern last night was about how I did or did not feel about Clark. What should I do about Jason? What shouldn’t I do?

For one fleeting moment, Lana considered consulting Clark about her current dilemma. He’d been more than understanding last night.

As quickly as it occurred to her, it was dismissed as impossible and unlikely, though a small percentage of her mind opted unavoidable. Lana detested the idea of Clark being dragged into her own emotional turmoil, especially since he was one of the main sources of bewilderment. Still as so, he was gifted in relieving her warranted and unwarranted stress.

The same hand that had unknowingly scaled Clark’s side in its owner’s slumber had drifted off of its own accord once more, making solid evidence of the theory that some things just have ‘a mind of their own.’ Before Lana knew it, her hand was inches from his smooth cheek. The offending thumb had barely grazed his warm skin before the loudest crash yet erupted, piercing the peaceful morning silence.

Feeling that the constant banging and crashing had reached the optimum level where she could no longer ignore and shrug off as lingering effects of the fireworks she dreamt of when Clark’s lips met her own, Lana dismounted, pointedly taking as much time as she dared, before peering into the kitchen, the obvious source of the indecent din.

“Sean, what are you doing?” Lana asked when she saw her son standing on a stool, scrounging around in an upper cabinet, making more noise than Lana would have ever imagined humanly possible.

His wildly disheveled brown mob whipped at the sound of his mother’s reproving tone. Taking an audacious second before responding, he observed his mother’s attire. Though evident that Lana was in no mood for humor, Sean tried his luck.

“Changing clothes everyday too five minutes ago, Mom?”

Eyes ablaze, Lana cast Sean her own patented heat vision, under which he shriveled and apologized immediately.

“Sorry,” he exhaled, realizing that his mother was truly distraught at his boisterous actions. Despite the obvious, Sean continued to taunt his mother in the most subtle way possible. “I didn’t mean to ruin your morning after moment with Clark.”

Startled, Lana recoiled, his words reaching her with the force of a slap to the face. “Morning after what?” she inquired, wondering what her ten year old son could be implying.

“You tell me,” Sean smirked, knowing his mother was taken aback by his obvious use of innuendo.

Having not yet recovered from the initial shock and follow-up sarcasm, Lana resigned to staring with mild curiosity. What have those kids on the baseball team been teaching him?

Sean couldn’t refrain from one last quip as he took note of his mother’s dumbfounded expression. Grabbing a carton of orange juice from the open refrigerator door, Sean sneered playfully, “I believe your generation would call it a ‘Kodak’ moment.”

He bit his lip to maintain the impending laughter as Lana’s jaw dropped with surprise. The early morning cob webs had finally been swept clear of her mind with the directness of Sean’s uncharacteristic humor.

“Sean, I don’t know what you’re thinking,” she rambled as calmly as she could manage, despite her accelerated heart rate, “but there is nothing going on between me and Clark. We’re just old friends.” I can’t believe I’m explaining myself to my ten year old. Are my feelings that obvious? How can they be when I don’t even know what they are?

“Yeah,” Sean agreed, sarcasm dripping from his exaggerated response. “Sure.”

“Sean, I’m married,” Lana informed for what felt the millionth time. Though she could use the frequent reminders, how many times was she going to have to explain this palpable fact to everyone else?

Lana claimed a seat across the counter from Sean as he studied her scrupulously, his joking demeanor replaced by a more serious veneer that was just as staggering as the former. “For how long?” he challenged, a distinct frown engraved on his lips. The decaying condition of his parents’ marriage was hardly lost on him, majority of his friends had already been through it, he knew the signs.

“Eleven years,” Lana equivocated, unable to match her son’s direct stare.

“That’s not what I meant, Mom.”

I know.

“Why are you asking me this?” Lana queried, her eyes contracting with inquisitiveness. She and Sean had never once before discussed Lana and Jason’s marital status. This sudden unearthing of a sensitive topic was highly uncharacteristic of Sean, as he usually had to feign interest whenever the subject was aroused. He was much like Clark in the sense that he was eternally open and understanding when dealing with other people’s life traumas, but events that influenced him personally were armored, guarded, and shrouded in mystery. Maybe that’s what this is about.

“Because I’ve seen it happen before,” Sean whispered unnecessarily. Lana knew if Clark’s slumber hadn’t wavered through the tumult of noise Sean had created, it wouldn’t be disrupted by quiet conversation.

This drastic change in Sean’s personality was quite unnerving for Lana. She didn’t know how to approach the pre-adolescent sage advising her from across the countertop. “Seen what happen?” she asked in hushed tones, Sean’s own discretions becoming contagious.

“When someone’s marriage isn’t running on smooth sails, the partakers become vulnerable, easily spent. Then they’re easily susceptible to others’ influence,” Sean counseled, being as inconspicuous in his clues as his ten years allowed, though his diction signified that of an experienced educator.

What is he talking about? Sean’s unprecedented wisdom was so breath-taking, that although Lana was hanging faithfully on every word, she wasn’t taking it all in the intended manner. “Are you talking about Clark?”

Sean’s serious expression slackened as he heard his mother’s response. How did she get Clark out of that?

“No,” he replied patiently, though he couldn’t quell the preceding exasperated sigh. How could he explain this? “I just think you should be careful with who you confide in.”

Lana continue to stare blankly at Sean. The only thing she’d surmised thus far was that he had to have been awake last night and he had to have been watching the late night Dr. Phil reruns. What is he trying to say?

“Clark and I are just friends,” Lana repeated, not knowing what else to say.

Not bothering to mask his frustration, Sean rolled his eyes while shaking his head. “Mom, I like Clark, and so do you.”

Lana found it interesting that whenever her feelings pertaining to Clark were discussed, they were mentioned as if everyone knew of them but her.

“But we’re not talking about him right now. I know you say he’s just a friend. I know you’re happy around him. But we’re not talking about him right now.”

“Then what are we talking about?”

Sean’s shoulders dropped in surrender. She obviously wasn’t picking up on his subtle messages, he’d have to come up with a different game plan. “Nothing Mom,” he lied, putting on a weak smile before heading towards the stairs, all thoughts of breakfast forgotten.

“Sean,” Lana addressed before he’d made it past the counter. “Really, what’s going on with you?”

“I just want you to be happy,” Sean shrugged. He reached across the counter and shoved something towards Lana. “I know when you’re happy, and you deserve to be happy. But you have to be careful too, Mom.”

And with that cryptic message, Sean trotted upstairs without looking back. Lana hesitantly grasped the paper he’d directed to her, feeling the light hairs on the back of her neck rise at his enigmatic behavior.

[ajfinn]

KEEP READING BELOW

[4EverSmallville]

Realizing what she was looking at, Lana turned the paper over to reveal a crisp photograph of herself and Clark on the couch. Despite the obscurity of her most recent mother-son moment, Lana allowed herself a small smile as she noticed the similar smirk she was sporting in the picture. She knew exactly what she’d been dreaming about.

***
“Metropolis Police Department, this is James.”

“Put me through to Matthews,” Clark commanded urgently.

“Detective James is in conference right now, can I help you, sir?”

“It’s Clark Kent.”

“Good morning, Mr. Johnson,” James corrected subtly, her crisp salutation slowly shifting to a cool annoyance.

“I need to speak to Scott,” Clark repeated, in no mood for James’ verbal abuse. “It’s important.”

“Detective Matthews is in a meeting, I can help you.”

“Fine,” Clark spat reluctantly into the line. “I think I found something on Teague last night. I was looking into his recent acquisitions since the purchase of the meteor rocks.” Clark began reading from the screen before him. “There’s a classic fifties restaurant, Johnny Rockets, purchased yesterday, and an underwater purification system near the pier, attained one month ago. Since jukeboxes and skating waitresses aren’t exactly smoking guns, I’m betting that there’s something going on in that -”

“You’re known to leap tall buildings in a single bound,” James interrupted snidely, her interest in Clark’s theories paralleling her interest in the bottom of her business shoes.

“My pension for truth knows no limit,” Clark retorted in a calm, collected voice, never losing his mild-mannered persona.

“Your tremendous ego knows no limit,” she snapped into the telephone. “You’re known for getting yourself and others into compromising situations.”

“Only Lois says that,” Clark dismissed, hoping his value in Lois’ opinion came across as much lower than it truly was.

“She knows you well,” James answered. “From the sounds of it, you also have a pension for stealing her stories, even when she worked harder to get them. A fact I don’t doubt considering it took days for you to find anything on Teague.”

“Whereas Metropolis P.D. has been searching for years!” Clark barked, trying valiantly to avoid alerting the household of his heated conversation.

“None of us have been living in his home!”

“Don’t start this with me,” Clark ordered, reclaiming his role as the emotionally detached bodyguard. “I didn’t ask for this job.”

“You didn’t?”

“Someone chose me for it, you didn’t know?”

“No,” James replied, her voice becoming more pleasant by the second. It progressed to apologetic as she began to confide in Clark. “I originally volunteered for it, but Scott said it’d already been given to someone more qualified.”

“How did he know I’d take it?”

“I don’t know.”

A revelation occurred to Clark as he and James held the line in an undisturbed silence. “Is that why you’re so rude to me, you think I stole your job?”

“Assignment,” she corrected before admitting, “and yes, I was a little upset when you were selected. But you are qualified, I guess that’s what made it worse.”

“Maybe my work at the Daily Planet is qualifying, but you’ve been working for the department, why wouldn’t they pick one of their own?”

“No, they pick the best. I have the rulebook and the play by play, but you have all the assignment entailed. You have the emotional detachment, we know how closed off you became after your parents’ death. Dating one woman one week and a different the next only further demonstrates your inability or disinterest in forming lasting relationships.”

Silence ensued.

“But you found something?” James prompted, finding no pleasure in making Clark uncomfortable.

“Right,” Clark affirmed, grazing over the last part of their conversation as though it hadn’t happened, unknowingly adding further example to her theory on his emotional detachment. “The water treatment plant is the classic act of altruism. He sets it up for the community, but he has his ulterior motives that no one ever sees. Lexcorp has always been subjected because of environmental hazard issues. Being an affiliate of Teague Enterprises, Lexcorp will become more consumer friendly, while adding another honorable note to Jason Teague’s outstanding record of achievements and good citizenship.”

“So you think something with the meteor rocks is going on down there?” concluded James.

“Definitely.”

“It’s an interesting theory, we’ll look into it for sure. In the meantime, how is the other situation?”

“Other situation?” Clark repeated, perplexed.

“Staying emotionally uninvolved with Mrs. Teague and her son.”

All Clark could muster was a faint and distant, “Oh.”

“We knew about your history with his wife,” James preached omnisciently.

What didn’t they know?

“Scott’s theory of your profound detachment falls short, I am afraid. One of the shortcomings of being male, he does not have the intuition we naturally possess.”

Clark had no response for this sudden advocating of women’s exceeding intelligent, so he wisely chose to remain silent.

“Love is an insurmountable force,” she preached, her tone surprisingly more friendly than her usual businesslike retorts.

“Love?” Clark asked, embroiled at how the word had been brought into the conversation so suddenly. “I don’t-”

“No need to explain to me, Clark,” James intruded on his stammering. “Just know that love is a dual dynamic emotion. Those feelings, care and concern, the same that strengthen weaken. They are easily manipulated. Love is the ultimate bittersweet sensation. It’s just as enabling as it is damning, tread with caution.”

With her last piece of cryptic advice came the familiar dial tone.

***
“Hey Sean, what’s that over there?”

The trio, under Sean and Clark’s insistence, had been meandering along the pier all afternoon. Clark had been gazing out into the distance over the lake, occasionally partaking in idle conversation. Neither Lana nor Clark had touched on the events of the night before, and oddly enough, Sean hadn’t pressured them to.

“What, the lighthouse?” Sean asked, following Clark’s gaze. He squinted slightly as the sunlight reflected off the crystal blue lake, unsure why Clark found it more interesting than Navy Pier.

“Yeah,” Clark nodded, squinting for good measure. “Your dad own it?”

“I don’t know,” Sean shrugged, “he owns a lot of stuff.”

Lana, who had been walking on the other side of Sean, was paying little to no attention to the conversation being held, her own captivating thoughts more encompassing. Who or what the hell was Sean talking about this morning?

Sean suddenly glanced at his watch and begged his mother to allow him to venture to the arcade. Lana agreed absently to Sean’s retreating back, leaving her and Clark completely alone.

Sean weaved through the crowds of swarming kids and teenagers, making a direct path to his intended destination.

“It took your ass long enough,” Rae snapped as Sean came within hailing distance. She glanced around for signs of Clark or Lana before grabbing him forcefully by the arm and steering him into a secluded corner. “I said seven.”

“When are you ever on time anyway?” Sean spat back as he jerked his arm away from Rae.

“I am now, smartass. Now what have you got for me?”

“Just this,” Sean shrugged as he dug deep into his front jeans pocket. He handed Rae a copy of the photograph he’d shown his mother that morning.

Rae could hardly retain her excitement as she unfurled the folded paper. “Not bad, you might actually be the godson I always wanted,” she grinned gleefully.

“Let’s hope not,” Sean frowned in disgust. He and Rae had a mutual agreement on pure hatred that was binding and outstanding. “What do you make of that?” he nodded towards the picture in her hand.

“I say we were both right, now we need them to realize it,” she answered, impatiently brushing a stray brown lock out of her eyes.

“What should I do?” Sean asked, resentment flowing through his voice. He was regretting agreeing to this madness, but he didn’t think he could accomplish his goal without his mother’s best friend and his own worst enemy.

“I’ll let you know,” Rae answered, folding the picture and slipping it into her purse. Sean had begun walking away before she called back to him. “Just because we’re in it together on this doesn’t mean I like you now.”

Sean looked over his shoulder and flashed a genuine smile. “I don’t like you either, Rae.”

“So do you and Sean go out all the time like this?”

Clark and Lana were alone, strolling down the outskirts of the pier. The crowds had thinned considerably as they approached the fringes and as Lana leaned on a railing to look out into the sunset, they were almost completely deserted.

“No,” she answered as the orange rays washed over her skin. She gave him a sideways glance before continuing, “We actually just started this recently.”

“Really?” Clark laughed, knowing recently meant his arrival. He leaned on the rails alongside Lana as his tone became more serious, “He likes coming out with you like this.”

“I think he likes coming out with you like this,” Lana amended with a slight chuckle.

Matching her smile with a charming grin of his own, Clark replied, “Well he is a good kid.”

“A little cryptic,” Lana added, thinking back to their conversation that morning, no more positive of the hidden message than she had been when it was first delivered.

“I know the feeling,” agreed Clark, recalling his own telephone discussion with James.

Silence enveloped them as they continued to stare out at the sunset, marking the symbolism of the resurrection of a fashioned pastime that had faded into nothingness over the years. The orange, red, and pink hues were just as vibrant and invigorating as they had been in Smallville. The clouds around the orange bauble still reflected the bright shades, colorful cotton-candy drifting along in the dusky sky.

Both Lana and Clark relished in the joyous memories the Chicago sunset brought. There were no secrets with the sunset, no mysteries to be solved. Everyday it would begin, it would last briefly, then it would end, leaving only the desire for the morrow where it would come again. It would always be beautiful, always strengthening.

“You know we’re going to have to talk about last night,” Clark said, chancing the interruption.

“I know,” Lana sighed, not taking her eyes off the water, which had become a mirror of the heavenly scene occurring above.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Clark asked, not wanting to pressure her.

“I thought we did that last night,” Lana responded, her hazel eyes reflecting the majestic colors, making them more alluring than ever.

“Yeah, but-”

“No, enough about my life, Clark,” Lana interrupted sternly, still managing a playful grin. “You heard all about it. And when we were talking about you, you conveniently left out certain important details.”

“Such as…” Clark prompted, smiling slightly only because Lana was.

It had been her intention to convince Rae to needle the information from Clark, but Rae would mistake that for interest and double her efforts at shoving Lana at Clark. She opted for doing the dirty work herself. Taking a deep breath, though not knowing why she ought to, Lana spoke.

“You know, dates, girlfriends, that kind of thing,” she ended with a casual shrug, as if the subject was just to make conversation, and not to make or break her sanity. Lana still wasn’t positive why she cared so deeply, just that she needed to know.

“My love life.” Clark deduced, shifting with slight discomfort.

“Well you know all about mine,” Lana offered in a sweet ‘it’s only fair’ voice.

“Uh,” Clark began with a laugh. “Dates or girlfriends?”

“Is there a difference?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“A date is, well a date. And a girlfriend is…a relationship.”

“How many dates?” Lana asked instantly, catching Clark off guard with her urgency.

“I don’t know,” Clark shrugged. “A lot, I guess.”

Lana refocused her attention back onto the lake as her eyes began to sting. But why should she care? It was all too confusing.

Regrouping, Lana asked about his girlfriends, fearing the answer she might receive.

“Only two,” Clark informed, missing Lana’s sigh of relief.

Through her relief, Lana was stunned someone like Clark had only had two girlfriends. She had been expecting many more.

“Chloe and I dated, you know.”

“What?” Lana shot back, not realizing how incredulous she sounded. Apparently Clark hadn’t either.

“Yeah, we were really good friends senior year. We went to prom together,” Clark said, his eyes, green at the moment, staring out at the vast sunset in remembrance.

Prom?! They went to prom together?

“She was really there for me when my parents died,” he practically whispered his last words, but Lana clung to them as though they were droplets of water in an arid desert.

Lana couldn’t deny the twinge of jealousy she experienced, feeling more than resentful that she hadn’t been there herself to comfort Clark in his time of need. But, like all her other recent emotions, she brushed it aside.

Reaching out, Lana placed her hand on Clark’s, which was now firmly gripping the railing. “We dated through college,” he continued, though his voice faltered more than once. “She wanted to get married.”

Married?!

“But I wasn’t ready. I tried, I did try, to be in love with her. But I wasn’t, not like marriage….” Clark looked pensive for a moment before continuing, “So we broke it off and decided to be friends. That’s when I left Metropolis.”

“I wish I could have been there for you,” said Lana honestly. She didn’t know what else to say. “I’m really sor-”

“Don’t be,” he ordered, shaking his head. In an attempt to seem more polite he added, “Please. I don’t want you to feel sorry for me.”

You asked about my other girlfriend though.” Clark continued, feeling a sense of relief at finally disclosing his story to someone. “She uh - her name was Lori. We were engaged.”

Lana was compelled to ask “What happened?” but was saved the necessity by Clark continuing on, “She died in a car accident. She was hit by a drunk driver.” His voice was unnervingly distant, almost dead. Like the first night he’d mentioned his parents, and when they’d touched the subject minutes before, he hadn’t shed a tear, his expression hadn’t varied at all from the stony scowl that had usurped him. She reveled in wonderment that he could remain so emotionless through such a conversation, or that he had become so well adapted to his age-old craft that he could conceal his emotions perfectly.

Feeling that words would do either of them no justice, Lana turned Clark gently and embraced him. They stood together in silence as the sun dipped below the horizon.

******
“Hey, hey old man!” a young man whispered to his companion. “Hey you old man, wake up!”

As the man whipped off his hat to smack his dozing partner, the old man reached out with surprising agility and grabbed the man’s wrist before he’d completed the motion.

“It’s the hottie!” he whispered excitedly.

“Again?” the senior grumbled in agitation, turning to get more comfortable in his seat.

“No!” hissed the younger, successfully hitting the older man with his hat. “It’s the boss’ hottie.”

“Teague’s wife?”

“Uh-huh,” he nodded, licking his lips. His smile faded as he spoke again, “She’s down there with that guy again, though.”

The old man leapt from his seat and shoved the younger man away from the screen. Indeed, there she was, enveloped in another man’s arms. Boss will have a fit.

***
“What do you mean not yet? What the hell are we waiting on?”

Jason was on the phone with the usual associate, who was trying unsuccessfully to dissuade his towering temper.

“I mean not yet, you can’t go off an kill him just yet.”

“Why the hell not?” Jason demanded as he replayed the footage of Lana turning Clark and embracing him. Turn. Hug. Turn. Hug. The familiar vein in Jason’s neck was beginning to show, always a danger sign.

“Because if you kill him now you’ll be tried and convicted, haven’t I told you this plan requires patience?” Even Lex, who had patience in unlimited supply, was growing bored of Jason’s repetitive phone calls on ‘what Tom and Lana are doing right now’. It was as if he was addicted; they have clubs for people like that.

“Sorry, Lex,” Jason barked disdainfully, “but not all of us have your tolerance and patience. If I kill him now the blood won’t be on my hands.”

“Maybe not, but don’t hesitate to think that Lana and Sean won’t see things differently.”

“What?”

“Do you remember anything I tell you?! Lana and Sean have seemingly grown to trust Tom, you’ve already alienated yourself by keeping those damn papers! If you kill him now, who are they more likely to believe?”

Jason didn’t answer, his mind reeling with confusion. He had never had the fervent desire to murder this greatly, he’d never even committed a murder himself. He tended to delegate the dirty work to a less fortunate, but trustworthy subordinate. But he wanted to do this, he wanted to kill Tom Johnson. The beast inside him was raging once more. How dare he interfere with my marriage. Does he know who I am?!

Lex laughed silently at Jason. He was foolish and in love, a poor combination. Love, already a weakness, couldn’t be afforded in this line of business. Sheer stupidity, well, Jason would get what was coming to him as well.

“So I’m supposed to just let this happen, let him get close to my family?” Jason supplied incredulously.

“Yes,” Lex whispered demonically into the line. “And when the time is right, you will have your vengeance.”

As I will have mine.

A/N: I could make excuses for not updating, but I should have had it done sooner, so that is my mistake and I apologize. Thanks for all the support, I hope this update is long enough to pardon my extended absence.

Comments on this one, Lori, Clark’s deceased fiancé, is from canon but she wasn’t a mermaid. That was just me inserting a familiar name, nothing more.

I’ve been dropping hints like a madman lol, but I’m loving that no one has caught on yet. If you think you have something, pm me. It’s all starting to come together. The positive thing about more time to update is that it flows more with the story, most of the things that happened here weren’t in the original write-up, and the story would have gone in a completely different direction, but I’m pleased with where it ended up.

Thanks again for all the feedback, comments, and missing person’s alert lol.

BTW: aj - I’m not in Tahiti with TW? Aw that’s too bad lol. I have read MBCorp’s posts, she is no Clana fan lol. I’m glad you like it though, evil Lex is too much fun to write. Well this is seven days today isn’t it? I don’t know myself lol. As usual I don’t remember what else I wanted to say so just leave feedback, and I’ll be happy.

Oh my goodness, these replies are killing me rotfl. I’ll have to say something to each of you later on.

***
aj says sixty two posts since last update? Well, I'll try to get all of you later on then :rotfl:.

P/S: My username says away, but I'm still writing, don't worry :).

Special Thanks to ajfinn for the buffers and SVSleuth for the commentary :rotfl:. And a big thanks to everyone who's been harassing me all week, I really appreciate the response and feedback :D.

[ajfinn]

:) Oh yeah! So worth the wait, as always!! Awesome stuff going on. I'm so glad Clark finally opened up! Nice touch with Chloe, Chlarkers will like that. He gave it a chance.

Lori -- nice job staying with the Supes mythos. I guess it's better to break off an engagement because of a car accident though, instead of breaking it off because she was a mermaid! hee hee. I like your version better :D

So sad.

Down with Jason . . . Lex too! Something tells me Clark's gonna have to slam down some sexy superpowers on them. Ahhhyeahh!!

Love it!! :D

[SVsleuth]

;) Holding next reply place for me. ;)

Okay - 4EverSmallville - You are supersplendiforous! - -Well, there were no real words to express how awesome this has been. You are totally forgiven for the long wait. This was so AWESOME a morning! I've never had so much CLANA fun online!

The story - you had everything, every character, and several great CLANA moments. Some that stick in my mind:
-The wake up scene on the couch - & Sean snapping a pic of it? Super-sweet!

-The scenes near the end, when Lana hugs Clark - & Jason finds out? Teriffic!

-The scene where Lana doesn't get what Sean is talking about? Marvelous! - I think I know who he's warning her about.

There's so much more to love in this fic. If we have to wait long again, I can just re-read this one over & over & over. Thanks for lovin' us enough to stay up all night writing, 4Ever. We love you and your writing. Can we ask your English teacher to please give you extra credit points for writng this wonderful story for the CLANA addicted? :lol:

Looking forward eagerly to the next eciting update. This story gets a 10 smilie rating!! :):):):):):):):):):)

[binkys711]

[itsallinthespelling]

Great long update. it was really long, and it was great. did i mention it was long and great? ppms

[Scotty]

4EverSmallville, you've really outdone yourself. These updates were incredible! I like how Rae and Sean are working together for a mutual cause.

[4EverSmallville]

Just going to dive right in...

Cardinal: I have a question for you. You want to see Lana carry her dream into reality, know that her vixen side never rests. Do you think it will be she or Clark who makes the first move, if there is a move made at all? :p Now Cardinal, do I really need a Stalkers' Society? :lol:. Fugitive Manhunt? :rotfl: You're too much.

Linn: :lol: Yup.

MOOman: Dreams can be cruel, can't they? :p

kewl: We all give in to our dark sides sometimes. And Lana's dark side has one thing in mind ;).

itsallinthespelling: Practice does make perfect.

SVsleuth: I got you too? Really? I am really surprised that so many bought into the dream kiss lol. Did I beat Ketchup? :p If CK ever showed up on my doorstep...you all might as well invent your own conclusion for this story :rotfl:.

Kal El & Me: I like the vixen too :lol:. You're not the first to think I've been in college, I don't understand where you all get that :lol:. But I really am in high school.

binks: Lay off the caps button :rotfl:. J/K :p.

clana4ev3r: I didn't shoot your hopes down, I just brushed them off, tentatively ;).

dreammaster: Thanks :).

Scotty: lol I'm sorry :lol:.

spacewalker: All I can say is that you weren't alone :p.

aznClanalover: Maybe it will, maybe it won't ;).

SmallvilleMan: Of course you were ;).

NYC: Another three days, I think it's been more than that :lol:.

lily: :o Thank you very much.

ajfinn: Am I? :lol: I have no recollection of the event in question. :p

MBCorp: You can only imagine my surprise, having been someone who has read your posts and knows that you aren't a Clana fan, to find that you posted on my story. I really appreciate you taking the time to read despite the pairing. I'm glad you like the romance, and evil Lex still remains my favorite part of the story to write, there's just so much you can do with him.

Meg101: WELCOME BACK!

luckykentcharm: :D - Thanks for reading.

If I missed anyone, my deepest apologies. Sifting through four pages wasn't on my agenda this morning...afternoon now :lol:. But I owed it to you guys, you didn't forget me and I couldn't forget any of you. :D.

[SVsleuth]

4Ever - Yes, you beat Ketchup. I guess the next news report may come when he updates. :lol:

Who do you think tied CK up for me? :rotfl:

My hubby understands the importance of a writer's inspiration.

[SVsleuth]

Posting to move this back up the the top of the thread, so the other people who aren't aware of it, will discover the awesome triple-post update from this morning....

[clana4ev3r]

awsome chapters!

[NYC300Z]

WOW!! Really incredible update~! Loved the triple update! So many things going on! What or who was Sean talking about in the kitchen?? Rae and Sean are teaming up! lol I didn't think you'd actually go there! What does Lex have planned and how long will Jason be able to hold his temper?

I can't tell u enough how glad I am that u finally updated!! :D
SO when's the next update coming? 3 days? lol :lol: I hope sooner!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D 21 smiley salute!

[Ketchup]

These updates were GREAT! You are now officially forgiven for the delays =D

[booze_is_me09]

GOD BLESS YOU 4 ever for updating!!!!!!!!! i LOVED the updates!!!!!!! PPMS!

[Cardinal]

First, aj said that there had been 62 posts since your last update. While a significant number, I believe the true test of the fervor with which your fans waited for this update is shown by the number of those posts that were truly creative, instead of the same old "You're great! PPMS!" posts that cover the Clana fic board like shingles on a roof.

Second, I'm a little slow, so I may have missed what it is that Lex wants revenge for. I can't wait to see that.

Third, if **** was warning **** about Lex, then I'm not sure how the first **** even knows Lex well enough to be warning the second **** about him.

Finally, if you keep writing like this, not only do you deserve a 4EverSmallville Stalkers' Society, but I predict that membership in said society will grow by leaps and bounds. (I claim the position of Head Story Stalker and President for Life of the society.)

...and by the way...aj, you can untie Clark now!

[midnite_spark]

wow that's one hell of an update :D keep up the great work!! i hope ur next update is really soon...i'm on the edge of my...uhh....keyboard lol.

[Cardinal]

4Ever's updates are like a hurricane.

You sit around forever waiting, watching, hoping and then, suddenly, it comes. No matter how much you think you're prepared for it, the reality is 10 times greater than you can handle.

It batters you this way and that. Up the face of one wave to the very crest, only to fall into the depths of the trough. Up and down, up and down.

Until, finally, it's over. Leaving you spent...exhausted...to resume your vigil until the next update!

[luckykentcharm21]

I'll join that society... and I totally agree with Cardinal's idea of the updates are a hurricane, no matter how much you wait and get ready for it. It's always, always forty times greater!!!

[ajfinn]

Why? No one's expecting to see him until Sept. 29th. Let me have my fun :p

[Ketchup]

[Meg101]

Dang 4ever!!! This just keeps getting better and better. Which means I check all the time wishing and hoping and waiting for an update. Keep up the good work!

[MBCorp]

Awesome long update, 4Ever.:D I am really intrigued by the complexity of this plot and trying to figure out what Lex is up to. It seems like he's manipulating everyone.:D Sean and Rae teaming up was funny. I also think that I know who Sean was warning his mom about too. Can't wait for the next update! :D:D

btw, I really like the fact that Chloe and Clark dated for awhile too.;) That was a nice touch. :)

[terreo]

[SmallvilleMan]

Okay i'm here to update her story, she asked me to do this in not so many words.:D

Chapter 16 Divorce

Lana, sean and Clark are sitting at a table some where. Clark gets up and takes Lana's hand.

"Lana, i'm stupid and didn't know you're still in love with me. But now i just realized that and must tell you i love you."

"Oh Clark, i love you too, save me from jason." They make out furiously, until they're on the table.

Sean looks up, "Hey, i told you guys not to make a scene. Get a room or something."

Later that night.

Clark and Lana get a room, they know how to use it. So they carefully remove their clothes, then turn on the t.v. and play the playstation system that was left there. After an hour of playing house of the dead, they play spin the bottle by themselves. Then realize there was no one there, so they just make out the whole night. Then after 5 hours, they turn on the t.v. to see that lex and jason killed themselves in a snow boarding accident. Jason hit a tree and Lex fall off a mountain. All of Lex's surgence and all of his men couldn't put Hummty Lex back together again.

The End:D

[SVsleuth]

Okay, everyone. I think that's enough CAPs & water guns. 4Ever just started back to school, so we need to stop hassling her. She's not even coming to her own thread anymore, so she's not even seeing all this. How about we try sitting quietly now, as we wait for her to settle into school and figure out how fanfic writing fits into her new schedule _ and before the MODS get after us.
:)

[C.A.chick]

what a party poooper!!!!!!!!!! humph! i hate school, stupid school!!!!!!!!!blah!!!im mad!!!!!!!!!!

[LoisNClark]

*turns caps lock off* you're right SVsleuth.

[NYC300Z]

Yeah everybody it was really funny, but we don't want to make 4ever not want to come on her own thread. I mean if she doesn't come here we'll never get an update!

PPMS!!:)

[binkys711]

*grabs water pistol*
*shoots torch*
*torch's light turns off*
*gives Clark's pitch fork back*

The war will settle down... for now...it was fun while it lasted:\...hopefully 4ever will update soon:)

[C.A.chick]

the MODS remind me of the Feds!!!!!!:D

[binkys711]

[C.A.chick]

Your accusations agaisn't harmless people like kewl,, have led to the decsion that you need to stay in psych. ward." * I start running, one of them grabs me and sticks a sedative in me* "everything will be ok."

~ several days later after treatment~
" Sorry kewl, I kinda had another mental break down. my sincerest apologies."

an after thought: life is boring without the caps lock war, maybe thats the reason for my break down, hmmm....
*pulls three disk all labeled " Smallville"*
