If you need a refresher: Emotional Detachment ~ Chapter XV ~ Alliance (http://kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=38536&perpage=15&pagenumber=23)

Emotional Detachment ~ Chapter XVI ~ Nightmare

Smallville, Kansas. Very quiet, very quaint, very safe; maybe from an outsider’s perspective. The citizens knew better, however. They knew the obscurities, the oddities, the abnormalities. Strange things happened in Smallville, the meteor capital of the world. One would not expect such a secluded area to be the epicenter of all things unexplained, yet the fact that the former creamed corn capital of the world was isolated and small, title implicit, it made it all the more ideal for such mysterious phenomenon.

A young boy strolled the halls of the elaborate mansion; despite the fine adornments the castle offered to catch the eye and ensnare the soul, the child was desperately bored and in dire need of adventure. He was thirsting for an experience to break the unexciting monotony, but the infamous sculptures and ancient artifacts were hardly to his tastes.

He continued to meander the halls, stopping on occasion to examine a particularly eye-catching piece, but only to continue his investigation, more determined than ever to find excitement in the rich man’s humble abode.

Only one question trooped through the child’s mind as he trudged down the infinite halls, ‘Where are the toys?’ There were ‘grown-up’ toys scattered everywhere, but nothing to entertain a thriving, thrill-seeking five year-old.

Corner after corner he turned, more than frustrated with the lack of pleasure to be found in the man’s castle. He should have known when they arrived in a town that’s population paralleled that of his toy box. How much enjoyment could there be found here?

Evidently his mother grew up there, though he couldn’t imagine why. He’d never bothered to question her reasons for leaving this corn and crop-circles lifestyle, but after arriving in what he now felt should be named Dullsville, the boy had no reason to pose a question that would only merit an obvious answer.

He was preparing to give up his fruitless search and move on to the voluminous acres of land outside the castle when he heard noises. The young child’s ears perked up as he heard indistinct panting. Looking left and right in search of the culprit, hopefully a four legged culprit, he laid eyes on an old-fashioned door standing ajar, an eerie green glow sparkling beneath the cracks, more attention-grasping than any other object he’d encountered thus far.

‘Don’t go down there,’ his father had instructed, along with a more sinister warning from his uncle. The man who owned the luxuriously boring estate was, indeed, his uncle in his mind. They’d spent ample amounts of time together; the boy had convinced himself of their undocumented kinship.

There had to have been a reason why he shouldn’t go down there. He knew he should not, but the electric green ambiance was far too tempting.

Shouldering his own bravery and harnessing his elevated desire for adventure, he boldly pushed through the forbidden door.

***
The slick pavement squelched slightly under his polished shoes. The cool night air whipped around him. He had trodden this street many a night, and each night with renewed vigor. Never had he felt so alive, every time his foot hit the asphalt. Stillness surrounded him, despite the constant movement and mutterings of passerby and partygoer.

His superhearing had been turned to low frequency, the loudest of drunken yells falling on his ears like a whispering echo across a grand canyon. Among the crowd he strolled, easily the most exhilarated of the throngs. His being the only flamboyance around not catalyzed by a fifty proof potion.

The near silence hardly bothered him; he was completely high on life. Karma had finally reached his place in line. Years of pain and suffering were finally going to be redeemed by the counteractive of peace and happiness. Rose-colored glasses was a wildly outrageous understatement for the way he viewed the world.

Bums on the block were like sultans on the sidewalk. Dim, flickering streetlights glowed with the enchanting luminescence of a neon lava lamp. Damn, was life good. He knew not to get ahead of himself as he pounded the street to his lover’s lane, but he could only just quell his excitement as he quickened his pace down the walk. He was going to tell her tonight.

Imagining the sweet scent of her hair when he held her close, he failed to notice the volume of the crowd creeping up ever so slightly. It was not apparent whether his hearing was improving or the mob was indeed growing louder, but as more sounds intruded, he could no longer lose himself in his alluring land of fantasy.

Screeching tires and a woman’s scream reached him perfectly as he halted his progression, a cold chill running down his spine. He could blink considerably fast, but even he was taken aback by how quickly and recklessly the old blue auto rounded the corner. So untamed in fact that it had actually reared onto two wheels before crashing down into the black mass of asphalt.

Coherent words began to reach his ears, louder and clearer with every passing syllable. “Wasted. Drunken idiot. He could kill somebody…”

The last sentence erupted critically in his mind as he tensed at the sight of the speeding vehicle. His paranoia increased tenfold as he witnessed another car, ambling down the lane, in the direct path of the swerving vehicle.

Should he do something? Should he not? What if he saved someone? How could he explain it?

His mental deliberation did not last long as the gap between the two vehicles lessened rapidly. The other driver clearly had not noticed the speeding maniac hurtling towards them.

Just as he was about to launch himself into action, he saw another being, racing at a speed that rivaled his own. The figure leapt out into the street, directly in the path of the intoxicated driver and squared up to the accelerating auto. The sober driver witnessed this incredible feat and was momentarily immobilized as her eyes grew wide in shock. There was something familiar about this stranger…

She swerved at the sight of him, just as the other vehicle plowed into the man in the street. Drunken screams and shouts punctured the night’s cloud of peace as intoxicated drinkers without designated drivers swore on their dead relatives they’d seen a mysterious man stop the car and step away. Relieved that he had been unharmed, the young female behind the wheel failed to notice the tall, steel pole growing larger in her windshield.

A shrill scream filled the night air as the sickening crunch of metal on metal rumbled through the night. Turning at this latest development, the mysteriously powerful stranger watched in wide eyed horror as a dark SUV steamrolled into the wrecked sports car with another stomach clenching metallic clash.

The man on the sidewalk, who had been on top of the world seconds before, gazed helplessly as the larger vehicle forced the smaller back down the road, to where the stranger now stood, shell-shocked, beside the original wreckage.

“LORI!” he screamed, but his own voice had been dimmed into soundlessness as the volume picked up around him.

“Where did he go?”

“The one who caught the car?”

“Idiot, people don’t catch cars.”

“I swear, I saw him stop it with his bare hands!”

“You’re wasted. The guy blew his breaks, and he hit the girl, and the SUV hit her. The only drunk out there was the guy in the SUV. Unless you count you lot here. No guys disappearing and catching cars.”

“I’m telling you he caught the car. It was swerving, we all thought he was drunk!”

“Sounds like he wasn’t the only one. If I were you I’d go sleep it off, all of you. Nothing to see here. Someone lost his breaks, he hit the girl, the drunk hit her next. Don’t go gawking at her. Not like there’s never been a dead body around here…”

The ramblings of the hardly coherent crowd around him faded away as he took his first step off of the sidewalk and onto the dark mass of pavement. Rather than the expected thud of sole to ground, his foot passed through the black entity and he began to fall. The pavement mirrored the dark skies above as he continued to tumble, until he found himself back on the most familiar of paths.

The ominous tomb loomed before him and he was immediately drawn to it. His parents had died, and it was his fault, and now Lori…

He allowed his knees to collapse in dismay as he reached the tomb his body had led him unwillingly to. A single tear carved its way down his cheek as he lifted a finger to trace those familiar words.

“I tried to save her,” he whispered to the tomb, ever listening but never responsive. “I tried just like I tried with you both, but I made things worse…again.”

A frigid breeze rustled the crunchy leaves of the graveyard. Such icy winds were not uncommon, they were climactic. A customary warning of things yet to come…

“I have warned you, Kal-el,” the wind whispered, though it shook the man on the ground visibly. “I have warned you and still you disobey.”

“You did this!” he screamed to the skies. “You killed them all! For what?!”

“They did not have to die, Kal-el. You brought this upon yourself. You ignored my warnings.”

“Warnings?! When did you tell me you’d kill everyone I ever loved?”

The man was standing, shrieking shrilly towards the star-studded heavens. In contrast, his bodiless counterpart spoke with indifferent authority, a cool detachment that had become a striking reflection of the very life his son was forced to live…

“You know you cannot relate to these mortals, Kal-el,” the voice retorted in a passive yet imperative tone. “Every relationship you have will fail. You will hurt those you love most.”

[binkys711]

BUFFERING!

[MOOman0618]

BUFFER!

[itsallinthespelling]

awesome first part, can't wait for more.

[4EverSmallville]

The voice put an accusatory emphasis on the word ‘you’ as his dialogue continued. Pointing out the flaws the human race had inflicted on his superhuman son. The omniscient voice had never anticipated the conversion to be so difficult, but all things come in good time.

“I am waiting, Kal-el…”

Cold. Sweat. Mess. He hated waking up this way.

At least I wasn’t screaming, Clark thought with a sullen frown as he tuned in to the temporary silence throughout the house. Faint conversation could be heard from Lana’s bedroom, but none to suggest she’d overheard anything.

Scattered around him were documents of the top priority, classified nature. His scowl deepened as he realized he’d have to regain some order to them if he was going to return them to Jason’s office without detection.

His typical white shirt clung to his chest with frigid moisture. Even his superhuman skin trembled as he slouched in the guest bed with cold, sticky cotton stretching across his figure. Another reason to sleep shirtless, he thought as he tugged off the damp tee.

Clark sighed as his eyes roved, once again, over the crinkled papers beneath his body. Pell-mell, littered, strewn, the bed was covered with documents Clark had excavated from the depths of Jason’s office to keep himself awake in the wee hours. As enjoyable as his time was with Lana and Sean, he, like everyone else, needed rest to function, and it seemed that he could barely bat his lashes without being overtaken by Jor-el and his constant threats and warnings. He blanched at the thought of himself screaming his secret out for the entire household to behold. He needed to get out of this house. But in order to do that, he needed to break through the façade of enigmatic philanthropy to find the real Jason Teague.

***
Lana and Rae had been on the phone for hours. After the less than enjoyable excitement from previous encounters, Rae had given Lana the usual time frame to cope before offering her own assistance, though if she’d had it her way, she and Lana would be at a bar drinking the pain away.

“I always told you Jason was an ass,” Rae repeated for the tenth time in the conversation, nonetheless, Lana chuckled for the tenth time through streaming tears.

“I know, I know,” Lana responded, rolling her eyes at Rae’s humor but smiling all the same. “He just wasn’t always like…this.”

“What’s this?”

“I don’t know,” Lana sighed, her anxiety and helplessness evident in her weakened tone. “The long absences. The divorce papers. All of it.”

“Could it maybe have been that you knew he was like this and chose not to acknowledge it?”

Damn. Could I have known? Did I know? Do I know?

Lana’s silence was all the confirmation Rae needed for her assumptions. She had just left a trying relationship with Clark to start anew in Paris. In the city of bright lights and romance she found someone who had given her all the things that, apparently, Clark would or could not.

Rae had always gotten the impression that Clark was Lana’s standard to which she compared other men; after seeing him for herself she could hardly blame her for making comparisons. But being in the weakened condition that she was from her failing relationship with Clark, Lana was easily swept off her feet by someone who embodied the very things she searched so hard for in Clark. It’s like the rebound boyfriend that snowballed out of control.

Eleven years, a ten year old son, and a joint-bank account were far past out of control, however. Lana was bound, whether it be legally or not, to Jason for the rest of her life. And though she did not and would never regret her cherished son, she couldn’t help but find herself reevaluating the decisions she’d made in her life.

Lana’s prolonged silence had reached the point where Rae felt the necessity to break the monotony with another probing question.

“What are you going to do?” she prompted with the first open-ended question that came to mind. As Lana spread her lips to form her inquisitive reply, Rae interrupted, foreseeing Lana’s thoughts, “About Clark and Jason.”

Closing her gaping mouth at Rae’s abrupt directness, Lana was compelled to question how Clark fit into her current situation, but as she ran her fingers over the frayed letter, she knew she really didn’t have to ask.

“What can I do?”

Finding her desired response more heavily laden with innuendo than the situation allotted, Rae resigned to answering Lana’s question with a question of her own.

“What do you want to do, Lana?”

What do I want to do? Lana peered around the room, as if the modern décor would answer the question that she could not. How simple a question it was, but how complex she knew the answer would inevitably be.

Her sights settled on a cluster of portraits near the bathroom door, all capturing the joyous and momentous occasion that was her wedding day. Lana smirked in spite of herself, remembering the event as she gazed at one of the pictures; Jason had just swiped a finger through the wedding cake and was aiming pointedly for her wrinkled nose.

As if the counter-suit argument had just taken the stand in the supreme courtroom of her befuddled mind, Lana’s eyes drifted downward to the crinkled letter in her hand. Impassioned phrases leapt out at her.

I love you, and I don’t know if I’ll ever stop.

Everyday I wonder if I made the right decision leaving Smallville.

I can’t go a day without thinking about you.

I still haven’t convinced myself that I wouldn’t try if you wanted to.

“Lana?”

Almost forgetting that she was in the midst of a late night session of ‘girl talk,’ Lana nearly dropped the phone when Rae’s voice intruded into her jumbled thoughts.

“Yeah, yeah I’m here.”

“So do you know what you’re going to do?”

The familiar static of a deep sigh flowed through the line towards Rae. How could she know what to do? On one hand, there was her husband, the man she’d devoted her life to, the man she’d had her child with. Then the alternative, her first love. The man who’d taught her how to love and made sure she’d never forget it.

“Want my advice?” Rae offered sympathetically. She knew Lana was struggling with this decision, but a decision had to be made soon. Her agreement with Sean on how to obtain and sustain Lana’s eternal happiness was already in motion, and she’d do whatever it took to see it through. Rae didn’t wait, however, for Lana to voice her request, before plunging right into her own opinion on the matter.

“I think, instead of listening to that mind of yours, you should, for once, follow your heart. I know the issue with your marriage is serious, but maybe just by doubting it you’ve sacrificed what there was. If your heart says stay with Jason, then do that. If it says be with Clark, then do that. You’ve talked yourself out of so much, Lana, I don’t want to see life pass you by,” Rae finished her soliloquy with a goodnight bidding, knowing that Lana had no intentions of responding to her advice.

Being the best friend of a poor liar had it’s advantages. Rae knew very well how Lana felt about Clark, even if she’d never mentioned it herself, she just had to get Lana to admit as much.

BUFFERING!

Darn it binks! You were like three seconds faster.

[4EverSmallville]

A cool, crisp ring filled Clark’s mind as he brought the cellular to his ear, waiting with baited breath to experience the relieving sense of elation always present at the sound of the vivacious voice.

“Hello?” came a weak, crackling drawl.

“Chloe!” Clark whispered excitedly, eager to engage in a conversation with someone from, what he began to refer to as, ‘the outside.’

Scott, or James, he couldn’t remember which, had forbidden his interaction with anyone from Metropolis, or anyone who could trace his whereabouts and subsequently his intricate assignment.

However his success at the Planet, though often inhibited by Lois’s blatant interference, was not an individual accomplishment. Without Chloe’s wit and charm, and the technological talents of her newlywed husband, Jimmy, Clark would have never reached the pinnacle of investigative mastery that had begun to define him. With the immensely vast and varying range of emotional altitudes he’d scaled and fallen in recent years, reporting became something of an outlet, a tangible activity he could latch on to and use to solidify his outer armor while stabilizing his inner turmoil.

“Clark?” she asked hoarsely, her voice cracking with the customary static of a good night’s sleep cut short. She cleared the cob webs of her vocal cords and said, with a little less rasp-ness, “Clark it’s three in the morning.”

“I know,” he replied genuinely, as if they were discussing the matter over brunch at a restaurant rather than during the still of the night.

“Clark,” Chloe laughed, the rough, harshness of her tone completely dispersed, “as much as I love talking to you, I’d love it more if it were daylight.”

“Sorry Chloe,” apologized Clark, his voice barely above a whisper. “But this was the only time I could speak to you without being overheard.”

“Yeah, I haven’t heard from you in a while,” Chloe surmised, her voice becoming very serious. “What’s going on.”

Clark hesitated. Since she’d found out about his secret senior year, Clark had kept nothing from Chloe, but he wasn’t certain he wanted to disclose his assignment and the individuals, one especially, involved.

Not wanting to waste too much of her precious beauty sleep, Chloe took the conversation out of Clark’s hands and plunged straight into deep waters. “Have you had another nightmare?”

“What?” was Clark’s immediate response, there was nothing else for him to say.

“Come on, Clark,” Chloe sighed. “Unexplained absence. Midnight phone calls. What did he say this time?”

During their extended time together, Chloe, if possible, had grown to know Clark even more, learning all of his habits and consistencies, his nightmares being an unfortunate member of the list.

Feeling highly uncomfortable, Clark shifted restlessly, the papers crumpling beneath him. Chloe knew of his nightmares, but that never made their discussions any easier. “That’s not what I called about,” he equivocated.

“Maybe not, but you had one didn’t you?”

Clark’s response, or lack thereof, was Chloe’s confirmation. “What happened?” she pressured.

Deciding there was no point in withholding anything, he described his most recent nightmares in considerable detail, though he stumbled through his words. “They’re becoming more intense, Chloe. I keep playing the night she died over again in my mind, how I didn’t save her…. And I’m starting to have them every night. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in days.”

“Whoa, Clark,” Chloe replied, the onslaught of information still permeating. “Where are you?”

“Uh-”

“Okay, you don’t have to say,” Chloe relieved him, misinterpreting his response for arctic rather than Midwestern. “Maybe you should talk to him.”

“No,” Clark retorted, not caring at all for her ludicrous suggestion. “I don’t need to.”

“Well if you can’t sleep-”

“No!” Clark interrupted more firmly yet still keeping his voice level. The definitiveness in his tone was more than enough to end the discussion, Chloe had long since been aware that there was no arguing with Clark on matters such as these.

“Okay then,” she exhaled, “you said you called about something else.”

“Right,” huffed Clark, taking a deep breath as well. He would not go talk to Jor-el. No. Never. “I was hoping you and Jimmy could do me a favor.”

“Eh-it depends, Clark,” Chloe explained, back to her usual boisterously energetic self. “I think Lois might be on to us, she actually accused me of helping you steal the drug traffic scoop.”

Laughter filled the room as Clark thought of Lois’ outrage at his story-snatching abilities. “She just can’t admit that I’m a half-decent reporter. She gets just as much help as I do.”

“Yeah, but she doesn’t exactly have the superpowers to back it up.”

“That superpowered mouth should count for something,” Clark joked, to which Chloe gave a hearty laugh.

“Seriously Clark, other than bashing my cousin, who is a good reporter by the way, what did you need?”

“Well,” Clark began as he dug around the pile of papers, finally singling out the desired print. “I need you to look into this water treatment plant in Chicago.”

“A little out of jurisdiction, aren’t we?”

“Liberty and justice for all, right?” Clark answered evasively.

“So I’m guessing you’re in the Windy City then?”

“Around there,” Clark shrugged. “It’s an Underwater Purification Station licensed to a Jason Teague.”

“Jason Teague?” Chloe questioned. “Lana Lang’s Jason?”

“How do you know?” Clark asked before he’d thought it through.

“It’s not exactly a secret, Clark. But more importantly, how do you know?”

“I-uh, I found out while I was researching the plant…”

“Uh-huh,” Chloe said skeptically. “So is that what you’ve been doing these past few days, investigating Jason Teague?”

“And our friend, Lex Luthor,” added Clark in a falsely pleasant tone.

“So you don’t buy the altruistic partnership, either?”

“What do you mean?”

“Clark, Metropolis PD has been investigating the two of them for about five years now, I thought you of all people would know that. Whoever lands this story has the scoop of a lifetime….Is that what you’re doing, Clark, trying to nail the story of a century? Or does this have something to do with the leading lady involved?”

Clark didn’t know how to respond. Was he doing this for the story? No, he’d be plenty satisfied with the other numerous stories he’d broken. But what did Lana have to do with it? Was he using her to solve the case, or was he protecting her? Did he still have feelings for her? Did she still have feelings for him? He didn’t know anymore.

“Clark, where are you now?”

“I-uh-I can’t say, Chlo, I’m sorry,” Clark lied, feeling like he should have some control over the conversation and decided to steer it out of these turbulent seas. “But do you think you and Jimmy can look into the plant?”

“Sure, Clark,” answered Chloe, hiding her disappointment in Clark’s lie perfectly. “But what exactly are we looking for.”

“Anything out of the ordinary,” Clark began hearing rustling out in the hall and hurried Chloe off the phone. “I have to go though, call me at this number if you find anything.”

Clark ended the call just as his bedroom door swung open.

***
The young boy looked on from the shadows as his father and uncle circled a metal table, muttering to each other words he barely overheard.

“What is this?” his father inquired as he stared down on the figure bound to the table.

“It’s a reminder, for me and you,” his uncle returned, staring down onto the table with an emotionless frown.

“For us? A reminder of what?”

“For me, a reminder of things forgotten. For you, a reminder of things you will never forget, and neither will anyone else.”

“I don’t understand.”

A single, green light poured down from the high ceiling as the two men continued to circle the table, where the captive also began mumbling incoherent pleas. “D-don’ do dis. P-ease.” They ignored the heartfelt ramblings and continued their hawk-like path.

The bald man stopped swiftly and gazed down at the figure on the table, though not really seeing him at all. “Six years ago I was diagnosed with a severe, incurable mental illness.” He began his pacing as he rubbed his chin in reflection, his company looked on curiously, wondering how any of this was relevant to the current situation. “My father had me committed to an asylum, but the treatment wasn’t going as he’d hoped. He turned to a more, extreme method of healing.”

Lex ran a hand on the cool surface in remembrance.

“So you still haven’t told me what this thing is,” the other intruded, not caring to delve any further into his partner’s tragic past.

“It’s a treatment, what my father so lovingly had administered to me when he thought I was instable. Radical electroshock therapy. Thousands of volts of electric power were sent straight through my body in this very chair.”

“And you survived?” the other asked pointlessly, although all logic would suggest that the man before him shouldn’t really be there at all.

“Oh, the success rate at the time was very low, but I did survive and the treatment did work. I lost three weeks of my life that day.”

“I don’t understand why you wanted to keep it.”

“The process was discontinued long ago,” he answered pensively, “but I wanted to keep it as a reminder.”

“Of what you don’t remember?”

“Of what I haven’t forgotten.”

Lana gently opened the door to Clark’s bedroom, only to find him staring back at her from the bed, shirtless, with surprised interest.

“Burning the midnight oil?” she asked as she eased into the room, closing the door softly behind her.

“I could ask you the same,” he replied, indicating the clock on his bedside table. Clark casually pushed the remaining documents out of sight.

“Rae and I’ve been on the phone,” Lana answered, plopping down on the bed, facing Clark. “We just got off a few minutes ago.”

She allotted herself the time to take in Clark’s appearance as she spoke, her eyes traveling more than once to the firm structure unhindered by the usual fitting tee. His eyes, however, spoke of the same vacant gauntness he’d had after his last nightmare. Swirling behind the enchanting rays of blue and green were clouds of emotions she couldn’t quite identify.

“Did you have another nightmare?” she inquired, her voice streaming with concern.

Is it that obvious? he wondered as her hazel eyes bored into his own, though descending briefly from time to time.

“What do you dream about?” Lana whispered after Clark spent several moments avoiding her gaze. The answer, quite simple in fact, was much too painstaking for Clark to admit aloud. None other than Chloe new of the true nature of his frequent nightmares, and he had no desire to spread the news. Not even to Lana, who he had opened up to more that day than he had to anyone in years. His mind was screaming for him to select a response from his never-ending list of excuses and lies, but, finding himself shriveling under Lana’s dazzling hazel gaze, he contemplated revealing all.

“I don’t like to talk about it,” he answered finally, his blue-green eyes focused on a random design on his blanket.

“Sometimes it helps to talk about it,” Lana counseled, privately wishing Clark would open up to her. As was customary with him, she’d finally gained some ground on what went on in his mind, such as their conversation at the pier, but before she could approach him to look deeper, he closed up again. One step forward, two steps back. “I’ve been having to do that a lot lately, with Rae.”

“What did you guys talk about?” Clark asked, his curiosity mounting. Possibly him? Either way, he was satiated by the opportunity to change the subject.

“Everything,” Lana sighed, fiddling with the familiar loose thread on Clark’s comforter. “These past few days.”

“Jason?” Clark threw out, not sure what sort of response he was expecting. The line between emotional intimacy and emotional detachment was becoming rather hazy in Clark’s mind. He could no longer distinguish his motives from helping Lana and solving the case. Did he want Lana to give him an inside look into Jason, or did he secretly want her to tell him how little she wanted to be with Jason…

But I can’t be having feelings for her. It’s been twelve years. I just can’t be falling in love. Or maybe I never stopped. Jor-el’s warnings played the memorable tune of a broken record in his mind.

“Yeah,” Lana nodded, eyes downcast. “You know, before when things happened between us, it wasn’t like this….It didn’t scare me.”

“What scares you?”

The fact that I may still be in love with you.

“Just that,” Lana hesitated, taking a moment to wonder how Clark would respond if she stated what was really on her mind. “Just that when I think I have him completely figured out, I realize I have absolutely no idea what he’s really capable of.”

The misery in Lana’s voice stung Clark to the core. He hated to see her suffer this way, especially since she didn’t have to.

“You could say the same about yourself.”

“What do you mean?” asked Lana as she momentarily shifted her gaze to Clark, still twirling the thread between her fingers.

“Lana, you have all the power in this situation,” Clark hoisted himself from the depths of the blankets to meet Lana’s pensive gaze. “You don’t have to stay with someone if it doesn’t feel right.” What am I saying? I don’t want her to leave Jason, I just want to get to the bottom of this. But what is‘ this’ anyway?

As Clark pondered the ambiguity of his advice, he wondered which side of the argument he stood on. Did he want to get to the bottom of what was going on with Jason, Lex, and the still unaccounted-for meteor rocks? Or was he now more concerned with what was going on between Jason and Lana, and how he might fit into the equation?

Lana watched Clark contemplate out of the corner of her hazel eyes, as if she stared long enough, a window would open up for her to see inside. She’d laughed lightly at Clark’s words when he’d uttered them, but she couldn’t deny the truth they merited.

“You should be taking your own advice.”

Clark frowned, not following Lana’s peculiar line of thought.

“Dating one girl to the next,” Lana supplied, not daring to meet his eyes, “isn’t right for you, Clark.”

His frown deepened as he realized Lana was, once again, turning the conversation back onto him. It was evident to each of them that the other was withholding something, it was only a matter of patience and time who would draw blood first.

“It isn’t wrong for me, Lana,” shrugged Clark. The idea of having this conversation with Lana was not one he was very keen on.

“Haven’t you ever wanted to settle down and have a real relationship?”

“I have,” Clark stammered, thoughts of Chloe and Lori swarming his mind. “I’ve tried…”

“But then you gave up,” concluded Lana.

“It’s not that simple,” Clark responded, standing and trudging to the window. He buried his hands in the pockets of his jeans as he peered solemnly at the darkness outside. Memories of his most recent nightmare flashing vibrantly behind his eyes. He remembered watching himself stop the car from hitting Lori and zip away. He remembered standing on the sidewalk, seeing the SUV hurtling towards her car. He remembered falling…falling into the never-ending darkness. He remembered being alone.

He shook his head as he continued to stare out the window. “It’s so much bigger than that, Lana. After my parents – died, I tried so hard not to get attached to people. Part of the reason I quit football was because it was too interactive. But every time I actually did get close to someone, it never worked out. Chloe…Lori,” Clark’s voice began to fade like an old-fashioned radio as his tone ranged from weak to strong. “I guess I just decided it was better for me to not get involved with people.”

Lana hung on his every word as she came up behind him silently, not wanting to disrupt him from his rare disclosure, but still wanting to get answers of her own. “Better or easier, Clark?”

He continued his examination of the darkness while feeling the impact of Lana’s words. It was easier for him to not get involved. Easier for him and everyone else.

Before she could stop herself, Lana was turning Clark, whispering as he willingly moved to face her. “Clark, you’re too good of a person to not let anyone get close enough to see that. I know you’ve been hurt before, but aren’t some things worth the risk?”

As the words passed her lips and hung ominously in the air, shrouded with unspoken emotion, both Clark and Lana simultaneously wondered what things she could be referring to.

The time for wonderment was not the present, however, as Clark fell back onto the only argument he had.

“Sounds like you should be taking your own advice,” he stated quietly, quoting her, turning the tables as she had on him.

There was a tacit challenge behind his evasive statement; a subtle invitation Lana could either accept or reject. The meaning of his words were not lost on him as he weighed them mentally; the conversation had been so heavily saturated in ambiguity, from both parties, it was impossible for him to take any one phrase at face value. His mouth was spurting off before his brain could release the smokescreen and it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to decide what he truly wanted out of the conversation, the situation, or his life.

One rule. One rule his assignment came with. ‘That’s the challenge,’ Scott had said, ‘You have to get close enough to find out what she knows, but you can not allow yourself to have feelings for her….’ And what a hell of a challenge it was.

Lana recoiled slightly at his low, deep, sensual whisper. An involuntary chill crawled down her spine as goose bumps sprouted on her bare arms. Rae’s words of wisdom echoed in her ears, ‘What do you want, Lana?’ The words, simple and short, inspired so many illicit desires deep within herself. Succumbing to them would be wrong, so very wrong. But her reasons for following her heart, which she now realized belonged to Clark more than anyone else, were so many, and her reasons for staying with Jason were so few…

“Maybe I should,” she answered, Clark’s whispering becoming contagious. Lana inched closer, the distance between them diminishing slowly. This is wrong, her mind was screaming, I’m married. But the intoxicating scent that was uniquely Clark’s dimmed out all of her conscious thoughts like a highly addictive drug. He was a drug. An illegal one that she should not have, but could not resist. Her hand was already in the cookie jar, rummaging around, and had spotted the delicious treat she wanted most. There would be no backing out.

Clark’s mind was barreling down a similar path, straight into an unknown ecstasy. As the distance between them became immeasurable by anything larger than a lock of hair, his only thought was, What assignment?

She was drawn to him, two magnets of opposite poles coming towards each other. Her lips north and his south, or hers south and his north. Despite the ambiguity that had usurped the entire conversation, his minty, lukewarm breath teased harshly at her tender lips.

Her eyes fluttered in anticipation as he drew ever nearer, orchestrating a forbidden, diabolical plan she longed to be a part of. This was wrong on so many levels for them both, but maybe that added to the rush.

It had been so long since he had been with someone, truly been with a woman he cared for. And the inclination, however trivial, that his feelings did not pass as unrequited was overwhelming and highly alluring.

The vixen was alive and well as Lana tasted Clark’s breath on the scarce amount of air between them. She needed this. She needed him.

Their foreheads made contact, briefly, before Lana tilted upwards to capture Clark’s illustrious lips. She was breathing in the very air he was breathing out, and was spiraling out of control because of it. Closer. Closer. Closer.

Seconds, fractions of seconds, before the connection was forged, the distance was bridged, a shrill scream pierced the stillness of the night.

Lana leapt back immediately, gasping unnecessarily for air. One word left her lips.

“Sean.”

***
“N-no’ting happen, I shwear.”

The green glow showered the man bound to the metal table. His two surveyors continued to pace around him, listening heartlessly to his mumbling pleas.

“Lex take that thing out of his mouth, I can’t understand what he’s saying.”

His bald partner obliged, removing the offending object with a crisp handkerchief and setting it aside.

“Nothing happened,” the captive shouted immediately. “Nothing happened, I swear!”

“Shut up,” Lex hissed. “Sean’s upstairs Jason, let’s make this quick.”

“No, I want to hear it from him. I want to hear him say he’s been seeing my wife!” Jason’s anger was hardly a reflection of his collected partner. A familiar vein had begun to bulge in his neck as he continued his interrogation, now inches from the prisoner.

“I d-didn’t! Nothing’s going on! Let me out! HELP!”

At this point, Lex withdrew a gun from the folds of his long jacket and aimed it directly at the boisterous man on the table. “I said shut up. Jason, I don’t have times to watch you play games. So you’re going to shoot him, or you’re going to pull the switch. Decide now.”

“We can’t kill him, Lex,” Jason spat, clearly disappointed they could not. “Then we’d have to deal with the body and the story. And no one would want anything to happen to Lana's precious Pierre. I’m starting to like this electroshock therapy though. You say he won’t remember any of this when he wakes up?”

“If he wakes up,” Lex retorted, still cocking the loaded gun.

“What are you gonna do to me?” the man, now ghostly white in the green ambience, whispered.

Both gentleman ignored the question as Jason strolled towards the control panel behind the table. “The effects of this don’t wear off, I assume.”

“No,” Lex answered, resentment evident in his tone. “The effects do not wear off.”

“Good,” Jason smirked, wrapping his fingers around the lever. “Now this won’t hurt a bit, will it Lex?”

“Oh, it will…I remember.”

The young child watched in horror as his father pulled the lever with a maniacal grin. The lights were distinguished instantly, leaving only the rattling table and the sparks of electricity to fuel the imagination. Suddenly, the man’s screams were not the only that rang loudly.

“Sean! Sean, wake up!” Lana shook her son violently as he continued to thrash and yell, tangled in his covers and sweating heavily.

Clark hovered over the opposite side of the bed, watching Lana try fruitlessly to awaken her son.

Sean’s eyes flew open as he jerked awake, sitting erect and mumbling feverishly. “Sp-parks, scr-screaming. W-we have t-to help. H-he won’t r-remember.”

“Sean,” Lana interrupted with concern. “Sean, you’re okay. It was just a bad dream.” She brought her shaking, stammering son into her arms and held him tight.

Clark watched Lana as she rocked her son and stroked his damp, brown locks. His ramblings settled slightly as he calmed down, but Clark’s super hearing picked up on one faint whisper before Sean drifted back off to sleep.

“Lex.”

***
“What is it now, Jason?”

Lex was sitting in the darkness of his office, reflecting on the ingenuity of his plan when the phone rang. He needed not look to see who’d called. Only one would dare interrupt him during his quiet time.

“Someone is trying to gain access to the treatment plant’s confidential database. This is the first time anyone has been suspicious enough to check the site, let alone the confidential system.”

“Who is it?” Lex inquired, his curiosity mounting.

“A computer licensed to a – Chloe Sullivan.”

Lex smirked into the line. Things were working perfectly, and much faster than he’d anticipated. “Grant it.”

A/N: That was Nightmare. It’s been in the works for a long time, I hope the length at least demonstrates that I haven’t been just painting my nails these last few weeks, SVMan. School really is time consuming, but thanks to all those who’ve kept interest. Especially the war-torn posters lol. The last time I remember posting was around page twenty-five lol.

Well, brief synopsis. Someone, I don’t remember who, gave me the idea for this chapter. If they remember their question, I believe this ought to have answered it thoroughly. This was a bit of a culmination of all of the hints I’ve been dropping, things are starting to get climactic. This is easily the most complex thing I’ve ever done, especially since it’s only my second story lol, so I’m just gathering my thoughts. I’d say about six chapters left, maybe more. Leave feedback please, and I’ll try to update more often. I really can’t believe this is still on the first page.

Special Thanks to MOOman0618 and binkys711 for the buffers :D. And the patience lol.

great update. length was awesome. i know what you mean about school, its kickin my butt too. boo at evil sneaky lex. wonder if sean's dream is a dream of the future, and how he is able to see into it. ppms
Leave feedback please,
lol, do ya really need to ask for feedback??? like 250 reply's between your update, i think your gonna get feedback wether you want it or not :p

[4EverSmallville]

Clarification for binks and itsallinthespelling: Sean's dream was reality. Just as Clark and Lana's dreams relive the past, so does Sean's. Somewhere in the first part I mentioned him being five years old. I try to leave hints as to the time frame, such as Lex saying six years ago...if it were present/future it would have been much greater. I hope that makes it clearer for you two.

Also, I forgot to mention the name of the guy in the chair, I've added it, but his name was Pierre. Sound familiar? :p

[itsallinthespelling]

lol, missed that, thanks for pointing it out. i guess i read a little too fast.

[binkys711]

oh I read it, i just thought it was a miscalculated time frame:\:pjeje....but erm....i feel like an idiot, for the life of me i can't remember who Pierre is!can anyone help me?:confused: I know i've heard it before......

[MOOman0618]

That was so wonderful! Even after all of the other chapters I have read, I am still amazed at your writing talent. And the great length of this post defiantly makes up for the long delay we suffered through. But please don't leave us hanging for that long again! :)

I can't believe they almost kissed and didn't get there! They were so close! But at least it wasn't a dream this time, and they can continue later. ;) Will Clark ever open up to Lana? At least they won't be hiding their feelings anymore. Poor Sean, that must be quite traumatic for a five year old to see his father do something like that.


SPECTACULAR!

Isn't that someone that works for Lana? Rae was complaining about him when she called Lana into work in one of the earlier chapters.

[4EverSmallville]

Okay binks, this is a quote from Unveiled:


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.


This was told in retrospect, Lex remembering events from five years earlier. Sean's dream takes place five years ago as well binks ;).

MOOMan's got it :lol:. Thanks :).

[clana4ev3r]

GREAT!!!!!!!!! YOU UPDATED!!!!!!!! NOW WE JUST HAVE TO WAIT FOR MEG'S UPDATE........ *LOOKS AT WATCH* ....... *SEES SUN GO DOWN* *LOOKS OUT WINDOW AND BACK AT COMPUTER*

[Cardinal]

Well...I, umm...I'd like to...damn, I am bereft of the words necessary to tell you how much I enjoy your writing.

Let's just say ...LOTS!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Five smileys, all the way!

[SVsleuth]

Ahhh! 4 EVER updated! And it's 5 parts long!!! I don't have time to read it now. I'll go to bed & enjoy it tomorrow - that is, later today. Then I'll edit my comments here. Thanks for updating, 4EVER. Can't wait to read it - but MUST wait.

EDIT: 11:23 P.M. (almost the NEXT day - AHHH!) Seems like it took Me 4-EVER to get a chance to read that awesome 5 part update - but I finally got to it. Super teriffic, 4Ever! I want to be able to print it out & sit down & read it again slowly, savoring it - but I don't have a printer here, & I have my kids all waiting in line for a chance to use the PC, so I have to read & post quickly - but they still think it's too slow.

Anyway, I do LOVE this story. How do you keep it all straight when you're writing? I could never write something that complicated, & get it to work out right.

Anyway, thanks for the almost kiss - hope we get a real one someday. Can't wait for more - but I know it is always worth the wait.
Gotta go. :):):):):)

[NYC300Z]

I finally got to read ur update 4Ever! So glad u finally updated! It was fantastic! I got Sean's dream perfectly without the explanation!:D:D oh yeah! The flashback u provided afterwards was neat too! and yeah I remembered that Rae was complaining about Pierre...I wonder if Lana did fool around with him or not? I hope not, it doesn't seem like she would especially since she's having such a conscious problem with Clark. I really hope Clark will open up to Lana soon. Are u going to be going back to ur 3 day update schedule?? I sure hope so!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D :D:D:D:D:D

[itsallinthespelling]

lol, i copyed and pasted all the exclamation points into microsoft word. then went to tools>word count> characters with no spaces :D

no, it would fill up her pm box. it would be pretty much like you getting junk mail sent to your email.

[C.A.chick]

[itsallinthespelling]

hehehe, here it is .

ppms, your story rocks.

[Superboy2]

Hey 4ever, I loved the multiple updates. BTW, I feel stupid asking(I also looked in the dictionary) but what does buffering mean? I can see it's a good thing, and I just want to know what it means.

[itsallinthespelling]

buffering is where some1 seperates her posts for her. k-site only allows 10000 characters(letters and spaces) per post, so when you have more, you need a buffer.

[Superboy2]

Ok, I get it now. Except when one of my chapters was too long, I had a 2-parter. Then, I posted the second part, and it was in the same post. So when you read the chapter that says Part 1 and 2, that's the one. I should make some longer chapters then, but not too many. So, do I have to ask K-site to buffer it, or does it do it automatically?

[C.A.chick]

WOW, ITSALLINTHESPELLING! HOW DO YOU DO THAT? I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT!

[binkys711]

he uses photoshop I imagine, right?

(btw....i'm gonna have to borrow that avi sometime:D I think we all do!:p)

[C.A.chick]

HOW DO YOU USE PHOTO SHOP? IS THERE A WEBSITE? CAN SOMEONE TELL ME, OR PM ME?

[binkys711]

itsallinthespelling should tell you, i'm not that experienced with photoshop:\

So when you read the chapter that says Part 1 and 2, that's the one. I should make some longer chapters then, but not too many. So, do I have to ask K-site to buffer it, or does it do it automatically?
the point of the buffer is so after she posts, she can go back in and edit any mistakes that may have been made, like typos or missed words. when it does that smashed together update, it doesn't let ya go and edit it. normally you just ask some1 to buffer for ya.
to those other questions, yes i use photoshop, and would be glad to help any1 who needs help with it. not now though, i'm off to bed.

[Cardinal]

I just found the perfect song for 4Ever's fic...at least the part that deals with Clana.

It's All Coming Back to Me Now - Celine Dion

There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed
If i just listened to it
Right outside the window

There were days when the sun was so cruel
That all the tears turned to dust
And i just knew my eyes were
Drying up forever

I finished crying in the instant that you left
And i can't remember where or when or how
And i banished every memory you and i had ever made

But when you touch me like this
And you hold me like that
I just have to admit
That it's all coming back to me
When i touch you like this
And i hold you like that
It's so hard to believe but
It's all coming back to me
(it's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things i'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby baby

If i kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago
But it's all coming back to me
It's so hard to resist
And it's all coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now
But it's all coming back

There were those empty threats and hollow lies
And whenever you tried to hurt me
I just hurt you even worse
And so much deeper

There were hours that just went on for days
When alone at last we'd count up all the chances
That were lost to us forever

But you were history with the slamming of the door
And i made myself so strong again somehow
And i never wasted any of my time on you since then

But if i touch you like this
And if you kiss me like that
It was so long ago
But it's all coming back to me
If you touch me like this
And if i kiss you like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
(it's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now)

There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things we'd never do again
But then they'd always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than all your laws allow
Baby, baby, baby

When you touch me like this
And when you hold me like that
It was gone with the wind
But it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when i see you like that
Then we see what we want to see
All coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall
But it's all coming back to me now

If you forgive me all this
If i forgive you all that
We forgive and forget
And it's all coming back to me
When you see me like this
And when i see you like that
We see just what we want to see
Al coming back to me
The flesh and the fantasies
All coming back to me
I can barely recall but it's all coming back to me now

(it's all coming back to me now)
And when you kiss me like this
(it's all coming back to me now)
And when i touch you like that
(it's all coming back to me now)
If you do it like this
(it's all coming back to me now)
And if we...


Then they can reshoot the video with KK replacing Celine. :D

No hurry, 4Ever! Take all the time you need and do it right.
Just ignore the impatient and the impolite. ;)

PPMS 4EVER!!! ;)

[ajfinn]

Okay, I'm going to step in and be Grandmother Willow for a sec (and also use my experience as a statistics tutor). :D

Anyone else notice a coorelation between pushing 4Ever and Ketchup too hard for updates? Umm, to me, it appears that we've completely frightened them off the boards. And honestly, I hate it. They are two of my very favorite posters, and I'm sad :( I miss them.

I've been talking to both of them, and they are completely swimming underwater trying to keep up with their personal lives. The reason their fics are SO amazing is because they are both brilliant -- which also reflects in their school studies. They're taking crazy classes, as well as having a million other things to do.

So, I think we should be encouraging to them -- hoping for an update, but not putting this much pressure on them. It seems lately that they can't even post on a thread without someone saying . . . hey, I see you!! UPDATE!

As a fanfic writer myself, I get knots in my stomach sometimes thinking about how everyone will be mad if I don't post. Fortunately, I don't have homework to do like these guys. And every other day, I'm able to put time into my story, but these guys don't have that.

I'm posting this on Ketchup's thread too :) Again, let's be encouraging and let them know we're anticipating a great update, but let's make sure we aren't demanding updates. Or we might give them a serious case of writer's block, which is only doubled by pressure. Homework can be finished, but writer's block is a killer :( ((I'm not saying they have writer's block now, I'm saying I don't want to give it to them.))

You guys are all awesome! Sorry for bringing out the soap box.

[SmallvilleMan]

YEAH, 4ever has to paint her nails, remember?;) I agree that you guys need to lighten up a bit.

cum on update.........IT ISN'T OVER UNTIL 4EVER UPDATES!!!!!!!!

[Superboy2]

I said this in Ketchup's story so I should do the same here. I would rather wait a little longer than have them be rushed and ruin the story. Some people do have a life outside of K-site. School, job, responsibilities, friends, some things that people in here don't have.

sorry for pushing u to update 4Ever ;)

from now on, i'll be silent as a cricket :D:lol:

[SunniLvsSV]

We love you 4ever! Aj is right! We don't want to pressure you! And don't disappear from the boards because of us, we'd rather see you around, even if updates aren't possible as quickly as we'd like! We will patiently and lovingly wait for your updates! You are an awesome writer and we are LUCKY to read what you have to say! :D

[linn]

i'll be queit too..........

[EyeluvTom]

I don't want them to disappear either. We are going to be quiet, but sometimes the reason we post on their threads is because we don't want our favorite stories to disappear off the front page.
