I now have the rest of the update so here it is. Please enjoy, and don't forget that I love feedback. (and if you haven't already you should go check out my new fic- A change)
It hadn’t registered yet. The fact that the one woman he loved was gone was too much to handle at the time, and taking into account that Lana’s body had been “misplaced” only a few minutes after her death didn’t exactly add to the all the “joy” he was experiencing. That was the one thing that puzzled him; I mean how does a corps just go missing?
Clark’s motions became like that of a robot, he didn’t want to think, feel, or even live. He would do anything to not feel this pain. It had been one week since her death and life seemed pointless to Clark. His eyes made the familiar route around the loft scanning for Lana’s presence, but the only presence that could be felt was that of the telescope he was leaning against as he searched for answers.
The telescope triggered some kind of sensor and he soon went into a rage. It reminded him of Krypton and how he came in the meteor shower that killed Lana’s parents, the only casualties of that day. He thought of all the times she was up here with him just talking or hiding out from Nell. Why did she have to go?
Clark lifted his head towards the infinite void of space. “What now Jor-el?” He shook his head in disbelief. “How could you let her die instead of me? You went through all the trouble to keep me alive, but you don’t even care to shed a tear when Lana fell to her death.” His knees buckled beneath him and he lowered his head to his hands... surrendering to his own emotions.
------------------
(A week prior)
Her heart seemed to soar as it began to stop beating. Like it was finally free from the strain of everyday living, finally free from the pressures of life. But it was still trying to hold on, hold onto what you ask? To what it did not know, but it was fighting for a reason, and that reason was love.
She sensed bright lights flickering from underneath her closed lids, and a soft breeze with the faint scent of something so familiar hovered around her. As she opened her eyes the thought that maybe she was dead crossed her mind, and maybe this was heaven. ‘If this is heaven it’s somewhat disappointing. Where are all of the pies?’
“No, Lana. This is not the heaven you speak of. It is a fortress... a fortress of solitude.” The dominant voice resounded throughout the massive cavern causing it to echo.
“Who are you? Why am I here?” As she called out into the brilliant whiteness even she could hear the panic in her voice.
“I am Jor-el, father of Kal-el, the son of Krypton. I have brought you to the fortress in hopes that you would be willing to become the possessor of all knowledge pertaining to Krypton and it’s heritage. I had saved you from you’re death and a life that would take you nowhere. Now it is time to begin your journey, Lana. So you will be ready to assist Kal-el in his time of need. When no one else, not even I will be able to help him with his destiny. You are the chosen one, Lana Lang. My son has chosen you.
This was all a lot to take in. Not only was she proclaimed dead in Smallville she was being called the chosen one through the walls of a fortress constructed of ice by the spirit of a man who died years ago. That alone was enough to creep anyone out. “Clark... I mean Kal-el must think that I am dead, right?”
“Yes, my son now thinks he has no reason to live because of your death. It seems as if he doesn’t have the heart to function anymore. That is why I need you to listen. You will be Kal-el’s link to humanity and help guide him on his journey for justice of the blue planet Earth.” Jor-el allowed Lana to soak in the overwhelming information for a moment, but once again continued. “Do you think you are able to accept this task?”
Never had she been so afraid before. This man was asking her to be what seemed to her the poster child of Krypton. But I also seemed like more than that she would be helping to restore the earthly race to what it had once been. “I’m ready.”
“It will be considerably painful, not physically, but emotionally. You will learn of the perils Kryptonians endured while living on our planet, the suffering we went through as the planet we called home fell to pieces. You will learn to be great.” He was silenced as Lana was engulfed in a resplendent circle of white lights spinning with the knowledge of Krypton.
------------------
(Present day)
Clark had a feeling Lana’s death was no accident. Something came in contact with her blood that day something that killed her, and he had a feeling that Lex Luthor was somehow responsible. Clark hadn’t gone to see Lex on the day of their scheduled appointment. He was too disconnected from the world at the time to do anything that involved confronting people. Because he knew that if he had gone to see Lex he would’ve ended up ripping his head off, and he already had enough on his plate to deal with.
But now he was ready to look into the eyes of the man who had killed Lana. He didn’t need an appointment because he knew just where he could find Lex. He was probably sitting in his office sipping a cup of iced tea reading the section of the paper explaining how crime rates had jumped in the last six years. I wonder how that happened?
Clark was ready to leave Smallville for a while; he would clear his head a little, and pay a visit to Metropolis’s own version of the King Pin (Spiderman reference). His heart raced as he ran on foot to Metropolis not bothering to take a bus or drive his car back. ‘This wasn’t the best idea.’ He thought as he quickened his pace. Having the time alone would allow his mind to wander to certain aspects of his life he didn’t want to think about. Such as the death of Lana Lang. But before long he reached the inner city limits of Metropolis, and headed towards Luthorcorp, which towered over all of Metropolis’s other buildings except for the Daily Planet.
Its smooth demeanor matched the coy slyness of its top executives and all of its important employees. But the most conniving individual sat on the top floor looking out at the Metropolis skyline.
------------------
(Fortress of Solitude)
Lana crumbled slowly to her knees as the lights subsided all the while mourning for the mothers of Krypton clutching their young children to their hearts as their planet collapsed. Her eyes stung with her tears as she absorbed all of the knowledge. She crawled from her knees almost too weak to stand because of the lack off food and sleep. She was a human after all.
“Do not cry.” Jor-el had returned at least that was what she thought. While in reality he had been there all along watching her progress on the journey that had only just begun. He wouldn’t let anything happen to her for she is the only one who is able to help Kal-el fulfill his destiny.
“I’m sorry.” She dried her tears with the edge of her sleeve as she sat on the amazingly warm floor.
“Do not be sorry.”
“Then what do you want me to be?” She shouted to the circulating air above her.
“I want you to be there for my son. It is time for you to leave the fortress and start on your journey.”
“And what exactly is my journey?” Her eyes darted across the ceiling of the fortress looking for something... anything.
“Only you can decide. Now you must leave. Only a week has passed with the people you know believing that you are dead. You must now join them once again and live.”
-----------------------
Any suggestions, feedback?
