Fanatic , Part 2

*The next day*

Clark stroked Lana's cheeks as she slept silently. A smile then came across Lana's face as she slowly opened her eyes "Hey." She said.

"Hey." Clark replied lost in her eyes.

"Last night was great, I'm glad we got over that part of our relationship." Lana said.

"Last night was better than great, it was magic. And you have no idea how glad I am, that we got over this part of our relationship. It takes an enormous amount of restraint to kiss you and see you, without being able to be with you in that way." Clark confessed.

"That goes both ways Clark, I'm just happy that were able to talk about it and resolve without getting into a fight. Although, I wish you would have opened up to me earlier about this. Why didn't you?" Lana asked.

"Well, I just didn't want to force us into doing anything that could hurt you." Clark told her.

"Even if it sacrificed your own needs?" Lana asked

"Yes, I would sacrifice anything to protect you. I would live my life with a broken heart, before i'll let you feel any pain." Clark sincerely confessed as Lana's eyes watered and she kissed him tenderly on the lips.

"Can we stay like this forever?" Lana asked as Clark smiled

"If I had one wish, it would be that." Clark told her as they both gazed at each other, longing for this moment to last forever. Clark then finally breaks their gaze. "I think I have to go, God knows what Lois is doing to my dad's campaign." Clark told her, reluctanly getting up from bed.

"Can I see you tonight?" Lana asked as Clark smiled widely and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Off course." Clark told her as Lana returned his smile.

"I love you." Lana said as Clark was about to leave.

"I love you too." Clark said before leaving as Lana stared lovingly at the door where Clark once was, before her cell rang. "Who could this be?" Lana thought as she saw Lex's name show up. "Lex?" Lana said.

"Yeah, it's me, I was wondering if you could come over to the mansion today. I have something to show you." Lex told her.

"What is it?" Lana asked.

"It's about the meteor shower, I think you'd like to hear about it." Lex said.

"Okay, I'll be there." Lana told him as she hung up her phone. Off course she didn't care about what he had to show her, because she knew everything already. However, she knew that Lex didn't and the closer he got to finding out more, the closer he would get to Clark. She couldn't let Lex know the truth, so she had to try and throw him off anyone way she could.

*Central Kansas.*

Lois is putting pictures of Jonathon over pictures of Lex on all the walls in the school as Samatha and two guys walk toward you. "Those signs are too big, they're against CKU regulations state that signs can't be larger than 20x24." Samantha told Lois as the guys behind her smirked as they ripped down vote for Jonathon Kent signs.

"Who are you three? The campaign police?" Lois questioned.

"No, we just want to make sure you follow the rules, Miss. Lane." Samantha said as Lois looked at her confused.

"How do you know my name?" Lois asked.

"Lex always says, know your enemy." Samantha replied.

"Yeah, Lex says a lot of things." Lois replied.

"Lex is going to be our next senator and there's nothing you can do about." Samantha grinned at Lois.

"True, but there's something the public can do about. Lex and Mr. Kent are neck and neck in the polls." Lois said, before walking away with a smile. Samantha turned to the guys behind her

"We need to knock Jonathon Kent out of the race." She told them as they nodded.

*Kent House, later in the day.*

Clark and Martha walk into the house with food. "Mom, is everything okay?" Clark asked.

"It will be once this race is over." Martha told him.

"Are you sure it isn't something else?" Clark asked and before Martha could answer, shelby could be hear barking in the barn. Clark and Martha share a look, then went to the barn. Martha petted shelby.

"What's wrong?" Martha asked still petting shelby and then looked up.

"Jonathon!" She yelled, as she saw him hanging up from the rafters. He was tied up and hanged backward, below a sign, it read "Drop out, while you can." Clark and Martha stared in horror.

*Luthur Mansion*

Lex is sitting at his desk, awaiting Lana when one his men comes in. "He's dead." The man said.

"Who's dead?" Lex asked, confused.

"Griff, he was found dead in Suicide Slums." The man told Lex as Lex pounded his fist on the desk. Lionel then walked in.

"Having a bad day son?" Lionel asked.

"You killed him, didn't you?" Lex accused Lionel.

"Killed who?" Lionel asked, pretending to be confused.

"You know who, Griff. His body was found dead in Suicide Slums." Lex told him.

"Suicide Slums is a dangerous place, people die ther everyday. Don't tell me you think I killed him." Lionel replied.

"It certainly wasn't the Kents." Lex snapped back as Lionel puts his hands on Lex's shoulders.

"Son, I'm worried about you. First Professor Fine, then the spaceship and now Griff. Things seem to be disappearing in front of your eyes. Maybe you should consider dropping out of this race" Lionel told him as Lex pulled away from his grip.

"No, this is the one thing my life that I've really had to work for and i'm not giving up on it." Lex replied.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Lionel said as Lex grabbed him by the shoulders.

"Why can't you be behind me? For once my life I wanted my father to be behind me, but I should have known better." Lex told him as Lionel looked a little affected by the words.

"Lex...." Lionel began to say, before Lex pointed toward the door.

"Get out." Lex told him as Lionel walked out and Lana walked in.

"What was that all about?" Lana asked Lex.

"Just one of our famous father and son chats." Lex said motioning for Lana to sit in a chair.

"You said you had something on the meteor shower that you would to share with me." Lana said

"You know how a ship landed in the second meteor shower?" Lex aksed as Lana nodded.

"Off course I do, I saw it." Lana replied.

"I think there was a ship in the first meteor shower too. That the meteor showers are just a cover up for it." Lex explained.

"How did you come up with that?" Lana asked.

"I was looking over charts of the first meteor shower and I noticed something different. Something that wasn't speeding up like meteors, but slowing down, preparing to land. What if a ship landed in the first meteor and whoever was in it, has been living here with us, this entire time?" Lana questioned as Lana stared at Lex, not to trying to show her concern.

[NYC300Z]

Interesting what can Lana say to throw off Lex with out giving in to him that she knows already?

PPMS!

[kewl]

cool update!!!! PPMS!!!

[SVsleuth]

Wow. So Clark & Lana were able to work through that sensitive area of their relationship. And now, what will Lana say to throw Lex off? Nice going. Keep it going. PPMS!

[superman_lives_on]

Hope you can post more soon, SVM! :D

[dreammaster]

awesome chapters hope you can post more soon

[Dr. Jeckyll]

Wow, I didn't got to read your last update before now. The clana moment was really sweet, and your story with Lex is intriguing. PPMS!

[SmallvilleMan]

Fanatic Part 3

"Thank you Lex, I really appreciate the information." Lana said getting up.

"It's okay Lana, we're both searching for the same thing." Lex told her as they both shared a smile before they left. When she was out of Lex's sight her smile faded, as she knew he was coming closer to Clark's secret. Lana also knew Lex very well and she knew she shouldn't try to convince otherwise about the information or his theory. Lex was smart enough to know when something was up, she wasn't going to give anything away.
Before Lana left, Lex came out to her, breathing heavily. "Lana, it's Mr. Kent." Lex said as Lana looked concerned at him.

*Smallville Medical Center.*

Jonathon is putting on his clothes as Martha and Clark walk in. "What are you doing dad?" Clark asked as Jonathon struggled to put his clothes on.

"I'm getting out of this bed and continuing my election. I will not be bullied out of this race." Jonathon said as Martha folded her arms.

"Jonathon, you're hurt, I don't care about a stupid race, I care about you." Martha told him as Jonathon took her by the shoulders.

“Martha, I’m fine.” Jonathon sternly said.

“Who do you think did this?” Clark asked.

“Well, we’ve been getting calls at the house telling me to drop out.” Jonathon confessed.

“How could you keep something like that from us?” Martha angrily asked.

“Because I didn’t want you or Clark to worry.” Jonathon said as Martha turned away.

“I’m sorry I care.” Martha said.

"I know you care about me, but this is something I have to do. I won't let Lex win this way." Jonathon said embracing Martha.

"You think Lex did this?" Clark asked.

"Come on Clark, you know this isn't beyond him. There's no limit to what he would do." Jonathon told him
as Clark looked at him thoughtfully before leaving the room and bumping into Lana.

"Is he okay?" Lana asked.

"Yeah, he's fine. How did you get here so fast?" Clark asked.

"I got a ride." Lana said as Lex walked toward them. Clark gave Lana a quick look, before turning to Lex.

"Is your dad alright?" Lex asked.

"Did you do this?" Clark asked, not bothering to answer the first question.

"If I did do this, why would I be here?" Lex said.

"I don't understand why someone would attack my dad with the race so tight." Clark explained.

"Listen, I didn't do it and I'll do everything I can to find out who does." Lex said, before turning to leave, Clark stops him.

"Why do you want to win this so bad?" Clark asked.

"I don't know, maybe because I think I can make a difference." Lex told him, giving him a small smile, before leaving.

"Care to explain why you were with him?" Clark asked as Lana looked at him kind of surprised.

"Do you not trust me enough to not ask me that?" Lana questioned him back standing his ground as Clark realized he was overreacting.

"Sorry." He said kissing her forehead.

"I was with him, because he asked me to come to the mansion and tell me something." Lana told him.

"Tell you about what?" Clark asked, extremely curious.

"That he thought that ship landed in the first meteor shower and whoever was in it, has been living here with us this entire time." Lana said, in a quiet voice.

"This isn't what we needed." Clark said shaking his head.

"Don't worry, he can't prove anything. It is all just speculation and guessing on his part. Plus, you've thrown off before and you can do it again. We just have to be extra careful now." Lana said taking his hand, making Clark smile shortly, before it disappeared.

"Wait a minute, why did he tell you what he had? Clark asked.

"Because , remember what I told him about working with him?” Lana asked and Clark looked at her surprised.

“You still are?” Clark asked.

“Yes.” Lana answered.

“Mind telling me why?” Clark replied, getting upset.

“So he won’t know that I know your secret and any time he comes close to finding out, I can stop him.” Lana explained as Clark gave a silent breath of relief to her reason.

“Lana, but that’s a dangerous game you’re playing. I don’t want to see you get hurt, God knows what I would do without you.” Clark said taking her face in his hands as she smiled at his gentle touch.

“Nothing will happen to me, I just want to protect you.” Lana said putting her hands on his as Clark smiled at her courage and protectiveness of him.

“So you’re switching roles on me? I’m the one who should be protecting you.” He said jokingly.

“The way I see it, we’re a team and we protect each other, because we love each other.” Lana told him, kissing him tenderly on the lips.

*Out of back of Talon*

Martha is putting away the garbage, when a car pulls up and Lionel steps out of it. She looks less than thrilled to see him. “Lionel…” She says emotionlessly.

“I know what you’re thinking, what I’m doing here.” He says.

“No, when it comes to you, I’m thinking what does he want.” Martha said as Lionel let out a small laugh.

“I actually came here in hope of helping your husband.” Lionel confessed.

“I find that hard to believe.” Martha told him.

“Well, it’s the truth. As you know, Lex has unlimited resources and an unlimited bank account. While, on the other hand, Jonathon’s funds have run dry. I want to help you match him.” Lionel said approached Martha with a check. Her eyes widened at the amount.

“There’s more than enough here to match with him. I can’t accept this, why did you come to me anyways?” Martha asked.

“Because you were always the level headed one in the relationship. I thought that you would be willing to forego your pride, to help your husband win. Although, I may been wrong in that account, maybe you don’t want him to win.” Lionel said as Martha looked at him thoughtfully, before lowering her head. “I’ll be in touch if you need Martha.” Lionel said before getting in the car and leaving.

*Central Kansas, Students for Lex Luthur Head quarters.*

Samantha and two boys are standing in front of the Lex Luthur for senator picture. “I can’t believe he’s already checked out of the hospital.” Samantha said to the two boys.

“Well, we tried.” one of them said.

“That’s not good enough, obviously we have to finish him off.” Samantha told them as they both shared a worried glance.

“We’ve done enough already, I’m not going to jail for Lex Luthur.” The other one said.

“You’re either with him or against him.” Samantha told them.

“Then I guess we’re against him.” They both said as Samantha took out a gun.

“Okay.” She said and then shot both of them in the head. She then turned to the mirror and looked at her hair. “Lex.” She whispered and started to shave her head.

*Daily Planet.*

After dropping Lana off at Lex’s mansion to get her car, Clark decided he needed to pay Chloe a visit. “Hey Chloe.” Clark said as Chloe almost jumped out of her chair.

“Geez Clark, didn’t I tell you to stop doing that?” Chloe asked, catching her breath.

“Yeah, but it is just too much fun.” Clark said with a grin.

“Whatever, what’s up?” Chloe asked.

“Did you hear the news about my dad?” Clark asked as Chloe nodded.

“Yeah, how is he?” Chloe wondered.

“He’s okay, although I’m not too sure.” Clark said turning away for a second.

“What do you mean?” Chloe questioned.

“He seems like a different person. I’m sure him running was the best idea, he acts like, like…” Clark said before interrupted.

“Like he has something to prove.” Chloe said.

“Yeah, I don’t get it.” Clark replied.

“I do. It can’t be all that easy for him to have a son who goes around saving lives every day of the week. Not to mention the person who almost single handedly keeps the farm afloat.” Chloe explained.

“He never has to prove anything to me. He’s my dad and everything that I am, is because of him.” Clark told her.

“Maybe he needs to know that.” Chloe said as they stare at each other thoughtfully, until Clark snapped out of it.

“Anyways, I think I may have an idea on who attacked my dad.” Clark told her.

“I’m all ears.” Chloe said.

“I remember my telling me that the person who did this, probably called him before. They warned him about dropping out of the race. I actually brought a list of all the private callers that called our house this week.” Clark said handing Chloe the paper.

“I’ll get right on it.” Chloe said, turning to her computer and typing the numbers in. “This will take a minute or two. So, how’s things with Lana?” Chloe asked as a smile shoot across Clark’s face.

“Never better.” Clark told her.

“Good, I’m sure her knowing the secret has everything to do with that.” Chloe said as Clark nodded.

“Yeah, because ever since I got my powers back, I wasn’t sure that we could……” Clark trailed off, remembering that finishing that sentence would be awkward, especially with Chloe.

“You could do what?” Chloe asked confused, before she got it. “Ohhhhhh, wow that’s awkward.” Chloe told him.

“Sorry, I’m just so happy me and Lana can get over any obstacle in our relationship now, because there’s nothing to hide.” Clark said.

“That’s great Clark, you two deserve it. Oh, here’s the address to the number.” Chloe said turning to the screen.

“The Central Kansas, students for Lex Luthur committee.” Clark said, before speeding off.

“And off he goes.” Chloe said smiling.

Hey, how's this for a compromise--quickly finish up Fanatic, then skip Lockdown and do Reckoning. How's that sound?

[SmallvilleMan]

Fanatic 4

*Students for Lex Luthur Committee.*

Clark superspeeds in, he looks around and spots to dead bodies with a Lex mask on each. He continues to look around and see's a poster of Jonathon with a red X on his face. Clark then remembers, Jonathon is having a rally speech tonight.

*Backstage at Jonathon's rally*

Lois straightens Jonathon's tie, "You're good to go. Knock them dead, senator." Lois told him as he smiled and walked out. After he left, noticed this strange person with a baseball cap on. "Excuse me, you're not suppose to be back here." Lois said approaching the person, but then got knocked out by the person's gun and it's Samantha. Back to the podium, Jonathon begins to speak.

"First off all, I would like to thank you all for coming out and here supporting me. I must admit that I never thought of myself as the senator type, just an old fashion farmer. When......" Jonathon continues to talk as Lois begins to become conscious.

"Samantha?" She says, feeling dizzy as see's a gun right in front of her.

"That's right, let's see if you learned anything on that army base." Samantha said.

"I'm not going to shoot him." Lois told her.

"Yes you will or I'll shoot you." Samantha said pointing her gun in Lois's face.

"No one will ever believe I'd kill Mr. Kent." Lois said.

"Oh yes they will, because a story will come out on you two were having an affair, but he wouldn't leave his wife, so you wanted revenge. Now shoot." Samantha told her as Lois turned to the gun and pretend to take aim, but swung the gun around, hitting Samantha. They struggle for a while, until Samantha knocked Lois and down, shooting the sniper gun at Jonathon. Clark then walked in to the rally and heard the shoot. He used his super speed to catch the bullet in the air and get away before anyone could see him. Then he went to the room where Samantha and Lois were.

"Little late, eh Smallville?" Lois said as she had Samantha by the arms.

*Kent House later that night.*

Jonathon is in the barn, when Clark walks in. "Close call tonight." Clark said, looking concerned toward his dad.

"It was, but my son was there, so I survived." Jonathon said smiling.

"Dad, I don't understand why you're doing this." Clark said, confused.

"Because, I think I can make a difference and I don't want a Luthur as senator." Jonathon explained as Clark looked clearly unsatisfied with the answer.

"Is that the real reason?" Clark asked.

"What other reason could there be?" Jonathon asked, not sure what Clark meant.

"Are you trying to prove something to me?" Clark questioned.

"Why would I need to do that?" Jonathon said, shaking off the question.

"I don't know, but that's the impression I'm getting." Clark told him as Jonathon stopped what he was doing and turned away from Clark.

"Maybe I am." Jonathon admitted.

"Why?" Clark asked.

"Because you go out and there make a difference every day. I'm just the farmer who raised you." Jonathon confessed.

"No, you're much more than that. You're the toughest, the wisest man I’ve ever known. I'm not the hero here, you are. You don't have powers to protect you, yet you go out there and fight anyways for what you believe in. You're my hero." Clark sincerely told him as Jonathon held back his tears.

"Thank you son." Jonathon said, hugging him as Lana walked in.

"This is always a nice sight." Lana said smiling as Jonathon broke the hug and started to walk out.

"I'm sure you two could use some alone time, so I'll see you in the house later son." Jonathon said as smiled as he passed Lana.

"There's my angel." He said wrapping his arms around her waist and giving her a short kiss.

"I can see your dad is feeling better." Lana said.

"Yes, he is, but I'm not feeling too well." Clark confessed.

"Why?" Lana asked confused.

"Because we're not kissing yet." He said grinning.

"Clark Kent!" She pretended to scold him.

"Hey, don't act all insulted. You were the one at the dorm who was trying to get some." Clark said with a grin.

"Do I need to remind you where your heat vision comes from?" Lana asked.

"Got me there, but now I’m going to get you." Clark said picking Lana up on his shoulders and superspeeding upstairs. He laid her on the couch and they gazed into each other's eyes.

"I wish these days would never end." Lana asked, looking lovingly into Clark's eyes.


"They never have to." Clark told her, kissing her passionately on the lips.

*The Talon*

Lois and Martha are talking. "So, where are we Lois?" She asked.

"We have no money left and if we have no money, we can't win." Lois told her.

"Okay, then I have to do something, but you can't tell Jonathon, Clark or anyone else." Martha said.

"I won't." Lois promised.

*Outside the Talon, later that night.*

A car pulls up and Martha gets in it. "I'm glad you decided to call me." Lionel said.

"I love my husband and I want to help him." Martha said as Lionel nodded and the car drove away.



And I'm not offically back. I don't want to do Lockdown, but I'll explain what happens about my version:

MY version of Lockdown: Everything that happen in the real lockdown happens. Except Clark's conversations about Lana to Martha and Chloe are about marriage. He tells them how she's everything to him and he can't live without her.

[binkys711]

I just caught up SVM! great alt. clana scenes! I'm loving it! It's awesome that they got that sex thing out of the way! WOOT WOOT!:p I hope you can come back soon, cause your Lockdown seems SOOOOOO much better than the real one;) PPMS!:D

[superman_lives_on]

Really glad to have you back, even if it's not official (or did you mean "now"?). I assume that you want to jump over Lockdown and just do Reckoning, then? Fine by me--I'm looking forward to it THIS time, even considering what'll happen to poor Jonathan. :( God, I'm gonna miss him.

[SVsleuth]

Nice update SVM. keep on going! :)

[super12]

Glad your back to the story. ppms

[SmallvilleMan]

Yeah, I meant now Not sure how i'm going to do reckoning though.

[SmallvilleMan]

Reckoning Part 1

Clark sits in his loft, peacefully lost in thought. Then he hears foot steps and thinks, 'Now or never.'

"What are you plotting over there?" Lana said smiling as she walked up to him.

"Nothing, just thinking about how lucky I am and I’m not sure that I want to press that luck." Clark said as Lana felt his chest.

"Clark, your heart is racing." Lana said concerned.

"That's because I'm scared." Clark replied.

"What's going on?" She asked skeptically as Clark turned away for a second.

"I need to ask you something and I'm afraid of what might happen if I do." Clark explained.

"Just ask, you know you can ask me anything." Lana said.

"I know, but that doesn't make it any easier to say. It was just like with my secret. I knew I could tell you, I knew I could trust you, but that slight chance that you would reject me, drove me to keep a secret." Clark paused and put his hand on Lana's cheek. "I love you so much and the chance of losing you scares me more than anything in the galaxy." Clark said emotionally as Lana began to tear up from his passionate words.

"Wow, this is big." Lana said, becoming very nervous as well.

"Are you ready to go?" Clark asked.

"All ways ready to go with you." Lana said gazing into his eyes.

*The caves*

Clark and Lana walk in the chamber, hand in hand. "I'm guessing we're talking a trip to the north?" Lana said.

"Yep, which is why I wanted you to bring the clothing." Clark said motioning to her scarf and jacket. Clark then took out the key and inserted it. Light came out, Clark held Lana as they were transported to the Fortress. Lana looks around, astonished by her surroundings.

"I didn't really get time to admire how beautiful this place was the last time I came here." Lana said as her eyes glowed.

"It's one in a kind." Clark responded.

"So, what do you want to ask me?" Lana said giving Clark her full attention.

"I just wanted to ask you...." Clark began, but trailed off as Lana went up to him, taking his hands.

"Whatever it is, we'll be okay." Lana said trying to reassure him as Clark gathered up courage.

"Lana, for the first moment I saw you, I knew that there was no one else for me, but you. Every time we're together I feel complete and as happy as I can be. I can't imagine life without you." Clark confessed as Lana's eyes watered and Clark took a piece of a crystal, melting it into a little diamond. Then he took out a ring and place in the diamond it in, using his heat vision to make complete. Clark then got on one knee. "Will you marry me?" Clark asked as Lana looked shocked.

"I...uh...." Lana mumbled.

"Not exactly the answer I was looking for." Clark said.

"I need to think about it." Lana told him.

"Okay." Clark said as they stared at each other.

*Kent House, an hour later*

Jonathon and Martha drive up to the house. They both get our of the truck as Clark approached. “Hey mom, dad.” Clark said.

“Hi Clark.” Martha replied.

“What have you been up to today son?” Jonathon asked.

“Oh nothing, just set up for tonight, hung out in the loft…” Clark then paused as his parents walked toward the house. “Asked Lana to marry me.” He finished as Martha and Jonathon stopped in their tracks.

“You want to repeat that?” Jonathon asked.

“I took Lana to the fortress and asked her to marry me.” Clark repeated.

“Marriage? That’s a big step.” Martha told him.

“I know it is, but I just love her so much. I don’t want us to spend another second together and I want her to be my wife. I……need her to be my wife.” Clark said with passion as Martha looked to Jonathon for a second.

“Son, marriage is very important commitment and step in life. It’s not something you can rush and make a mistake on. You have to know that you love that person, trust them and have complete faith in them. It is very clearly that you and Lana do. We give you our blessing.” Jonathon said as Clark smiled and hugged him, but then realized something.

“Ummm, she hasn’t said yes yet.” Clark told them.

“Clark, there is no doubt in our minds, that she will.” Jonathon reassured him.

“What would I do without you dad?” Clark asked.

“Clark you’re a man now, you don’t need me.” Jonathon said.

“No, I’ll always need you dad.” Clark told him as Jonathon gave a small smile.

*Lana’s dorm*

Chloe is packing up her stuff as Lana looks out the window. “Lana, can you hand me that book?” Chloe asked as Lana continued to stare out the window. “Lana? Book?” Chloe repeated as Lana snapped out of it and handed her the book. “I’m guessing something is wrong and judging from the stare on your face. I’d say it has to do with our favorite hero.” Chloe said taking a seat next to Lana.

“You know me too well.” Lana said as Chloe smiled.

“Well, we have been living together for four years now. I’d think I know a little something, so are you going to let babble on or are you going to tell me?” Chloe asked.

“Clark asked me to marry him.” Lana said as Chloe looked less than shocked.

“Can’t say I didn’t see that one coming, what did you say?” Chloe admitted.

“I said I needed to think about it.” Lana said.

“What is there to think about it? You love each other, you should be together.” Chloe said.

“I know, but I don’t know if I can handle what life will throw at us, especially him.” Lana confessed.

“You’ve handled so much already.” Chloe told her.

“We have, but the future is looking much harder. I don’t to marry him, unless I know that I can be there for him. I’m not afraid for not loving him or of him not loving me, I know he’ll always be there and he’d be a great dad if we could have kids. It’s just……” Lana trailed off, turning away from Chloe.

“What is it Lana?” Chloe asked.

“I don’t know if I’m strong enough to handle his destiny or to deal what comes with it. He’s going to need someone to be strong enough to be there for him and to guide him. I want to be that person, but sometimes I wonder if I am.” Lana said turning back to Chloe.

“Lana, there’s no doubt in my mind that you are. There’s no one more worthy to stand by Clark’s side than you. You love him too much, to not be there for him.” Chloe told her.

“Thanks Chloe.” Lana said.

“Anytime……….Mrs. Kent.” Chloe said with a smile as Lana and Chloe hugged.

*Daily Planet*

After leaving her dorm, Chloe heads to the Daily Planet and finds Clark sitting at her desk. “Comfortable?” Chloe asked.

“I thought you’d be here earlier.” Clark said.

“Yeah, well, I had to talk to a friend. It appears she has been purposed to.” Chloe told him.

“Oh, did she happen to say anything?” Clark asked.

“I’m sorry, but if you want to know anything, you have to talk to her. What we talk about stays between us, like it does with me and you.” Chloe firmly explained.

"You're right, I shouldn't have asked, it's just so important to me. I don't know what I'll do if she says no. Chloe I can't live without her." Clark said putting his hands on his face.

"She loves you as much as you love her. She just needed to make sure of a couple of things and none of them had to do with you." Chloe reassured Clark.

"You've been so great through all of this Chloe. I mean, I come here and bug with my problems with Lana, yet you never complain. All you ever do is help me. You have no idea how much I appreicate you to." Clark told her as Chloe blushed.

"I'm your best friend Clark. If you can't come to me, then I wouldn't be your best friend." Chloe told him as he smiled.

that was awesome...love it...can't wait for the next update....ppms!!

[clana4love]

Aww, PPMS! PRS! :D

[super12]

great post.ppms

[superman_lives_on]

FINALLY! PPMS--I'm looking forward to how this differs from the crapload Al/Miles saddled us with.

[SmallvilleMan]

It will be different in some ways, same in other ways. One thing I had to make different was Lana talking to Chloe, I felt that was a must to have.

[SVsleuth]

I loved that Lana talked to Chloe instead of Lois - I mean, when they had her confide in Lois on the show I was like, "What the?? Lana wouldn't talk to LOIS!!" I'm so glad you had her talk with Chloe instead. Much, much better. PPMS! Thanks, SVM! :)

[kewl]

awesome! PPMS!

[superman_lives_on]

Hope to see more soon! :D

[SmallvilleMan]

*Kent House*

Clark is just coming out of the house, when Lana’s car drives up. He looks surprised to see her as she comes out. “I didn’t think I’d see you until tonight.” Clark said as Lana came toward him.

“Yeah, but there would be too many people there.” Lana told him.

“Is it my destiny?” Clark asked.

“No, it’s me.” Lana replied.

“Lana, whatever it is, we can get through it together.” Clark told her as Lana smiled.

“Not this one, this one is on me.” Lana replied as Clark looked at her sadly.

“It doesn’t have to be.” Clark tried to tell her.

“I know, it’s just, I don’t you need the best and deserve the best. You need someone strong to be there for you. You’re destined for great things Clark, things that I couldn’t even imagine.” Lana explained.

“None of that means anything without you.” Clark said, sincerely from the heart as Lana nodded.

“I don’t ever want to let you down, because I know that you’ll never let me or anyone else down. I have to question if I’m that kind of person.” Lana confessed as Clark took her hands in his.

“Listen to me, you could never let me down. All I would need or ask of you, is to have your love. Your love alone could make me do anything, no matter the situation. Powers or not, without your love, I’m just a mere mortal.” Clark said, looking lovingly into her eyes as she stared back.

“You would place that much faith in me?” Lana asked.

“Off course, you’re the most courageous, smart, beautiful and loving person I could have asked for. No other woman could ever compare to you in my heart. So, I ask again…..” Clark paused and got down on one knee, taking the ring out. “Will you marry me?” Clark asked.

“Yes…..” Lana said as Clark placed the ring on her finger and brought her into a deep kiss. He then smiled brightly toward Lana as she returned it. Lana then jumped into Clark’s arms and he twirled her around in happiness.

*Talon*

Jonathon is putting on Martha’s necklace as everyone is staring at the news waiting for election results. “I’m so nervous Jonathon.” Martha told him.

“It’s just an election honey, besides the only victory I care about is the one where I won your heart.” Jonathon said, as Martha gave him a kiss. Then they walked arm in arm through a crowd of people until they saw Clark and Lana.

“Mom, dad, we have something to show you.” Clark said, raising Lana’s hand, so they could see the ring.

“Congratulations son.” Jonathon said as they hugged.

“I’m so happy for you two.” Martha said staring at Clark and then turning to Lana. “I’ve always though of you as my daughter and now we can make it official.” Martha emotionally told Lana and then they hugged.

“Now all we need is a victory from you Mr. Kent.” Lana said as Jonathon shook his head.

“The way I see it, we already won tonight. Having you in our family is an honor.” Jonathon told her as Lana’s eyes watered and he hugged her. Then Lois came down the stairs.

“Everyone? Everyone? HEY!” Lois shouted as everyone turned to her. “That’s better. The results of senator are in.” Lois tells them as they turned to the T.V.

“In a stunning victory, Jonathon Kent has defeated Lex Luthur for Senate.” The announcer on T.V. told everyone as everyone started to cheer. Lana and Clark smiled toward each other, still lost in each other’s eyes.

“Congratulations boss.” Lois said, giving him a hug. “Now we need everyone for pictures.” Lois informed them.

“This could take a while, do you want to go home and I’ll meet you there later?” Clark asked.

“No, I want to wait for you.” Lana told him as he smiled and gave her a peck on the lips.

“Okay.” Clark said, before kissing her again lightly on the lips. After Clark’s gone, Lana’s cell rings and it’s Lex. Lana didn’t want to leave, but she knew Lex needed someone after losing tonight. I mean, she was the only friend he had and he did save her life. She had to go, so she headed out, but bumped into Chloe coming through the doors.

“Lana, what’s the rush?” Chloe asked.

“I’m going to see Lex.” Lana told her.

“Lex? Why?” Chloe asked.

“Because he needs a friend, he has no one else Chloe. I won’t be long, by the way, thanks for the advice.” Lana said as she showed Chloe her ring and Chloe smiled.

“Didn’t doubt them for a second.” Chloe said to herself.

*Lex’s mansion.*

Lex is drinking some scotch, when Lana walks in. “I got your message, you sound very upset.” Lana said.

“You mean how many people are happy that the spoiled rich kid didn’t win? How the underdog farmer won?” Lex asked.

“It’s not that big of a deal Lex, sometimes you learn more from losing.” Lana said, trying to comfort him.

“Just once, I wanted to get out from under my dad’s shadow. I couldn’t even do that and you can be sure I’ll be reminded of it.” Lex said.

“Lex, you’re your own person. Who cares what your dad does? Just live your life.” Lana told him.

“I care, because it will only drag me down and people will always see him as Lionel’s son.” Lex told her.

“Since when do you care about what people think?” Lana asked.

“Since I was branded at birth with the sins of my father. You’re lucky you never had to go through that.” Lex told her as Lana eyes burned.
“Maybe it‘s best if we talk when you‘re sober? “ Lana said upset and turned toward the door.

“See, now I’ve upset you too. I’ve already lost one thing today and now I’m going to lose you.” Lex said as Lana looked at him sadly and approached him. She put her hand on his shoulder.

“You won’t lose me.” She told him as he smiled toward her and he caressed her hand, until he felt her ring.

“I guess it was a bigger day than I thought.” Lex said.

“Yeah, it kind of came out of no where. We only had a chance to tell Chloe and the Kents.” Lana explained, still smiling at her ring.

“So, after all the lies he told you, you still chose him?” Lex asked.

“I love him.” Lana told him emphatically.

“Even though he lied to you? Kept things from you, that I’ve always shared with you.” Lex said, getting irritated.

“It doesn’t matter, because I love him, I always have. I don’t love you.” Lana told him as Lex was getting angrier.

“He told you, didn’t he? I mean, you wouldn’t just say yes, unless you knew everything. What is he hiding?” Lex asked grabbing her chin.

“Clark isn’t hiding anything.” She said removing his hand from her chin.

“How could you lie me?” Lex asked and threw his glass of scotch into the fire place, making Lana jump. Then Lex grabbed her.

“Tell me! TELL ME!” He yelled, but then Lana threw scotch in his face and ran out.

*Smallville roads*

Lana dials a number on her cell and Clark picks up from the Talon. “Lana, where did you go?” Clark asked.

“I went to see Lex, he knows, I don’t how he knows, but he could tell I was hiding your secret.” Lana told him.

“It’s okay, where are you?” Clark asked as Lana looked out to a sign on the road.

“I’m on route 40, just coming toward the bridge.” Lana says, before pausing to see Lex coming up besides her, beeping the horn. “Oh my God, he’s coming after me.” Lana said as she turned to Lex who shouted toward her.

“Lana, pull over so we……LANA WATCH OUT.” Lex yells as Lana is then hit by a bus. Her SUV is sent crashing down as Clark looks at the phone and then superspeeds away. He saw her car, laying there in pieces and ran as fast he could in normal speed toward her.

“Lana?” He managed to whisper out as he fell hopelessly on his knees, he placed his hand on her bloody cheek. Tears falling out of his eyes like never before, as Lex stared at Clark in disbelief of how he got there. Clark, then looked helplessly around and he saw Lex. Raged completely took over Clark’s body and he superspeeded toward Lex, not caring anymore.

“How’d you…..” Lex began to say before Clark grab him by the throat.

“YOU DID THIS TO HER.” He said through his tears as he began to squeeze Lex’s throat. Jonathon’s truck then pulled up to the accident and Jonathon got out.

“Oh no.” He said as he saw Lana’s lifeless body, then he rushed toward Clark. “Let him go son.” He said, tugging at Clark’s arm.

“HE KILLED HER, NOW HE’S GOING TO DIE TOO.’ Clark shouted as Jonathon kept trying to tug at him.

“And if you kill him, you’ll be no better son. Killing him, won’t bring Lana back.” Jonathon said, pleading with his son as Lex began to fade, Clark then released Lex.

“Lana…” Clark as he stared toward her with tears. Jonathon then took him in his arms.

“Nothing you could have done.” He whispered as Clark cried.



I thought it was stupid that Chloe wasn't at the election party the first time, so at least she's there now. Secondly, I thought it was unrealistic that Clark, wouldn't have gone after Lex at some point.

[basketballstar23]

1st!!!!~whatever that means...
ur making us realive the hurt????lol...hope it turns out the right way...i know uhave way cooler ideas! PPMS!

[superman_lives_on]

Damn, was that ever so wrenching. Let's hope he does the SMART thing and tells her about the time warp after Jor-El sends him back!

PPMS!

[kewl]

this is the 2nd part in 512 that i didn't really like! lana shouldn't have gone to see lex in the first place!

PPMS!

[SVsleuth]

Keep going - got to see your new ending.... PPMS!

[SmallvilleMan]

I dont want to make any promises here, because I don't think Clark telling her right way is not realistic. But i'll have some new twist here, i'll give you a hint. Someone will go to see Lex in the time reversal version, but it won't be Lana.......

Hmm.... I wonder....

[SmallvilleMan]

Either way, clark telling her right away isn't realistic to me.

Good, okay, I understand. But just as long as he doesn't push her away as those stupid writers/producers had him do in the show... Damn you, Al/Miles.

PPMS, SVM!

[Dr. Jeckyll]

I STILL haven't seen Reckoning, but I get the picture. It seems like a really sad episode.. I'm hoping you can at least fix the clana SVM. PPMS! Gotta know the end on this one.

[superman_lives_on]

Well, the first half or so represents the kind of strong writing/storytelling Smallville needs. The second half knocks EVERYTHING into the tenth level of hell. It is sad, in more ways than one.

[linn]

i didn't really like reckoning alot....but the update was great...ppsm!!!!!

[SpeedyKate91]

great update PPMS!!!

[SmallvilleMan]

i'll update tonight, i'm almost done. I did something new in this update

[SmallvilleMan]

Reckoning Part 3

*Smallville Medical Center*

Clark is sitting by himself in the corner of the waiting room, as Jonathon, Martha, Lois and Chloe look hopelessly in his direction. "Maybe I should talk to him." Martha said.

"I don't think that's such a good idea honey. He needs to be alone." Jonathon told her.

"I'm not just going to stand by and let him blame himself, like he's doing right now." Martha said, getting upset. Jonathon then placed his hand on her shoulder.

"We can't talk away his pain. I want don't want him to blame himself either, but he's not going to listen to us right now, he's not going to listen to anyone." Jonathon told her as she nodded weakly and Jonathon took her into his arms. The doctor then walks in as everyone stands to greet him, except for Clark, for keep his head leaned against the wall.

"She took a vicious blow to the head and there was so much blood loss. There was nothing we could do. I'm sorry." The doctor said before turning away. Tears fell from Martha's eyes as Jonathon held her, while at the same time keeping his tears from falling. Chloe lay her head on Lois's shoulder and cried, as tears fell down Lois's cheeks.

"Can I see her?" Clark asked as everyone stopped crying and turned to him, as he spoke his first words since arriving at the hospital. The doctor nodded slowly.

"You may." The doctor said as Clark got up and walked somberly toward her room.

*Clark's POV*

Some how I managed to pull myself up from the chair I had been sitting on. My legs which are made of steel, had been turned to jelly. Barely able to walk, I finally reached the door. It was like I was turning the door to hell, my hell. Behind that door was my worst nightmare, my worst fear come alive. I opened the door slowly, knowing what it was going to show me. I tried as hard as could to keep my control, because I knew I was a split second away from losing it. My heart was racing, I began to shake as the door open completely and I shut it quickly, still not looking at the sight in front of me. I closed my eyes and leaned softly against the closed door before turning around.

That was when I saw her. She laid there motionless, tubes sticking out of her nose and her wrist. I no longer could move at all as I saw her. My heart had stopped and like her in the bed, I stood there motionless. No tears came out, because no amount of tears could express the pain I felt. The girl I loved was laying there, motionless and it was all my fault. My parents, Chloe and Lois, would try to tell me different. Even I, wanted to blame Lex for what happened, but I know, deep down, that it was me. It was my secret that got her killed, it was my dream that put her in this bed and I can't forgive myself for that. I promised myself I would never put her in that position again and I did, because of my selfishness. I was stupid enough to believe that would could be together and live happily ever after. The joke was on me. The joke that my destiny had been playing on me my entire life. The life I wanted, would never be the life I will have.

*End of Clark's POV*

Clark took a chair and pulled it beside Lana's bed. He took his hand and gently removed the hair from her face. "I know you can't hear me, but there are some things that I need you to know." Clark said as he choked up a little bit.

"No one in the world could make me feel the way you did. Nothing made me happier than seeing you, even if we weren't together, I loved looking into those beautiful eyes. You were my angel and always will be. I will never love any girl like I loved you. All those times I pulled away, because I was afraid this would happen and I couldn't let you get hurt. I would do anything to keep you from getting hurt and to protect you, but I couldn't even do that. With all my abilities, you still died and I couldn't stop it. I'm so sorry Lana, I'm so sorry......" Clark said as he laid his head on her bed and cried. Chloe then knocked on the door.

"Can I come in?" She asked, her eyes still bright red from crying as she tried to sniffle the rest of her tears.

"Yea..." Clark weakly said as Chloe came in and shut the door. She took a seat next to Clark and turned to Lana.

"You know, I was always jealous of you. You were the most beautiful girl in our school and had the best grades, but most of all you had his heart. Every time I would like at you, I would see the girl who stole Clark's heart away from me." Chloe paused to look at Clark for a second and then turned back to Lana. "Then I realized his heart was never mine for you to steal away, you always had his heart. I wasted two years of our friendship in jealousy and I wish I could take them back. You were my best friend, we talked about everything together, but now you're gone." Chloe said as tears began to build up and Clark laid her head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry Chloe, she should be alive." Clark told her as Chloe brought her head up and looked straight into his eyes.

"Don't you dare blame yourself. It wasn't your fault and you don't ever believe that it was." Chloe firmly told him.

"But it was, if I hadn't told her my secret, she'd still be alive." Clark replied.

"Yes, she might still be alive, but she would be unhappy. Do you know what she told me every night before we went to sleep?" Chloe asked, Clark shook his head. "She told me how happy she was that she could be with the man she loved. I mean truly be with him, all of him and not worry about secrets or anything like that. It was her dream and you made it come true. She told me that she wouldn't think twice about sacrificing her life for yours." Chloe told him as Clark got up and shook his head.

"I don't accept this." He said standing up abruptly.

"You may have abilities Clark, but there's only so much you can do." Chloe told him.

"I need to talk to Jor-el." Clark said.

"You think he can bring her back?" Chloe asked.

"I don't know, but if there's a chance, I have to take it." Clark explained.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Chloe asked as Clark nodded. "Go!" Chloe shouted and Clark superspeeded away.

*FOS*

Clark went right to the crystal and picked it up. "Jor-el!" Clark shouted.

"Yes my son." He replied.

"How could you do this to me, do this to her?" He asked angrily.

"I did nothing, it was you who choose to disobey me and now you must suffer the consequences." Jor-el told him.

"Consequences! So you killed the girl I loved, you know how much she meant to me. You know I would have given my life for hers." Clark emotionally spoke to him.

"I know my son, but fate has different plans." Jor-el said.

"This isn't about fate, this is about saving her life. I know you can save her." Clark said.

"Kryptonians are not gods my son, we can't just bring people back to life." Jor-el told him.

"Please, I beg of you, help her. I know you can, please." Clark pleaded.

"There is a way." Jor-el confessed.

"Tell me." Clark said quickly.

"One of the crystals can turn back time, you can use it to save her." Jor-el explained.

"Then I will." Clark said, taking the crystal.

"I must warn you though, there will be consequences for changing time." Jor-el said.

"I don't care, as long as she lives." Clark said as he stared at the crystal.

[basketballstar23]

1st! awesome! hopes it save johnny AND lana! woohoo! luvin' it! PPMS!

[superman_lives_on]

Dunno if Jonathon will survive, but I hope he can save Lana the RIGHT way.

[SVsleuth]

PPMS :D please...

[SmallvilleMan]

Reckoning Part 4

Time was reversed back to when Lana went to meet Clark in his loft, before they went to the FOS.

*Clark’s loft*

Clark turns around instantly and there Lana is. She stood there smiling at him as he was mesmerized by her presents. “Happy to see me?” Lana asked, still smiling as Clark walk over to Lana and lifted her in the air.

“Lana!” He said, holding her tightly as she embraced him back, even though she was taken aback by his behavior.

“Clark, what’s going on?” Lana asked confused as Clark thought if he should tell her. ‘No, I can’t.’ He thought as imagines of her laying in the hospital bed popped into his mind, like visions from a bad nightmare.

“I’m just happy to see you.” Clark told her, which was the truth.

“You said there was something you wanted to ask me?” Lana questioned as Clark looked away for a second.

“I did?” Clark replied.

“Yeah, you told me to dress warmly. Which makes me think were taking a trip to the north…..the deep north.” Lana said, referring to the FOS.

“Oh, well, I was planning on doing something, but it was a bad idea.” Clark admitted.

“Are you sure?” Lana asked, as Clark gave her a weak smile.

“I’m sure, can we please get off of this.” Clark said, sounding irritated as Lana looked at him curiously.

“Clark, what’s wrong?” Lana asked.

“Nothing is wrong, it’s just what I had planned was wrong and I don’t want to do it anymore.” Clark told her as she took his hands

“Clark, I know something is wrong. I can see it in your eyes and I know whatever it is, that it will be okay, because we have each other.” Lana told him as she stared into his eyes.

“I just wish that was enough.” Clark said as Lana looked confused.

“Clark……….” Lana said not knowing how to respond.

“I’ll see you at the party tonight.” Clark said as he kissed her on the cheek and walked away, as a shocked Lana stood there, looking sorrowfully through the window.

One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It’s so unreal
Didn’t look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing / I don’t know why
It doesn’t even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I’m surprised it got so (far)
Things aren’t the way they were before
You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

*Lana's dorm an hour later*

Lana is sitting on her bed, leaning her head softly against the wall, staring sadly toward the ceiling. "Lana, can you get....." Chloe began, but paused, once she saw the look on the Lana's face. "I'd ask if everything was okay, but I think it's pretty obvious." Chloe said.

"I just don't understand what happen." Lana said, lowering her head to look at Chloe.

"Don't understand what?" Chloe asked.

"Why he acted like that?" Lana said.

"Did something happen between you and Clark?" Chloe questioned.

"Yes and I don't know what happen." Lana repeated.

"Did Clark do something? Did he say something wrong? I mean, I can't imagine him doing that, especially the way things are going between you two." Chloe said.

"Me neither, it was weird." Lana said.

"Just explain it to me." Chloe told her.

"He told me he had something planned today, but changed his mind, because he thought it was a bad idea. When I asked him why, he got upset and I could tell something was wrong. So, I asked him what was wrong and that we could get through it together. He said, he wished that was enough and kissed on the cheek, then left." Lana explained, almost becoming teary eyed, but too confused to cry.

"That does sound weird, even for him." Chloe admitted.

"I could tell he was hiding something, I could see it in his eyes. I saw the pain." Lana said.

"Wow, I hope everything is okay." Chloe said.

"Me too, but I have a bad feeling that it isn't." Lana said turning away as Chloe looked at her sadly.

*Daily Planet, later in the day*

Clark was sitting in Chloe's chair at her desk, when Chloe walked in. Before she could said anything Clark turned to her. "How was your conversation with Lana?" Clark asked.

"What do you think? Considering....." Chloe then paused. "Wait a minute, how did you know I was just talking to Lana?" Chloe asked.

"Because this isn't the first time we've been here." Clark told her as Chloe looked at him confused.

"What are you saying Clark?" Chloe wondered.

"I went back in time." Clark said.

"You what?" Chloe asked him, wanting to make sure she heard what he said.

"I went back in time, I used one of Jor-el's crystal." Clark informed her.

"Oh and I assume there was a good reason to do that. And seeing as the way you acted toward Lana today, I'm guessing it has to do with her?" Chloe said as Clark nodded.

"She died......" Clark said, trailing off in pain.

"Lana died? How, why?" Chloe questioned.

"I asked her to marry me, she accepted." Clark paused. "Then she went to see Lex, probably trying to console him on his lost in the senator race and something happened. She got upset and left, Lex chased after her on the road. She called me and then Lex must have said something, she got distracted. A bus hit her and she died." Clark explained, trying to withhold his tears.

"Oh God, Clark." Chloe said embracing him.

"Her blood was my hands and I had to fix it. I had to bring her back." Clark told her.

"Why didn't you tell her?" Chloe asked.

"How could I? Tell her she died and it was all my fault?" Clark said.

"She would never believe that and she would understand. You have to tell her, she deserves to know." Chloe told him.

"I can't...." Clark said turning away.

"You can, because you love her and you want to be there for her." Chloe told him.

"What if she dies again?" Clark asked.

"She won't, because this time, you can stop it and you'll know how to protect her." Chloe explained as Clark looked at her thoughtfully.

[superman_lives_on]

Good work! PPMS!

Reckoning Part 5

*Talon*

Clark was standing next to his parents when Lana walked in. He knew he had to talk to her, but he wasn't sure if he could tell her the truth about what had happened. He knew had no right to treat her the way he did in the loft, he was just upset with himself. That he could let something like that happen to the girl he loved. He couldn't let it happen again, so he walked up to her. "Lana we need to talk." He said as she nodded and they went outside.

"Clark, you know I love you and you can tell me anything, right?" Lana asked.

"Yes, I know." Clark replied.

"We're a team, remember and if something is bothering you. I want to make you feel better." Lana said smiling some what seductively.

“I wish it were that easy.” Clark told her as Lana look frustrated at him.

“So, what we’re back to the secret and lies? You told me your greatest secret and now all of a sudden you can’t tell me what’s bothering you?” Lana questioned him as he looked sadly into her eyes.

“Because I don’t want to face the truth!” Clark firmly told her.

“What truth is that?” Lana asked.

“That I can never be with you…….” Clark said, in a painful whisper as Lana looked at him in shock.

“What……?” Lana said in the same painful whisper.

“There will always be someone after me, after my secret and they’ll do anything to get it. They’ll go through the people I love and that’s you. I’m not going to watch you die, not again….” Clark told her, looking at his hand, where her blood once laid.

“Clark I don’t care about……” Lana paused after realizing what Clark said. “What do you mean again?” Lana asked as Clark turned away.

“This isn’t the first time we’ve been here.” Clark admitted.

“It isn’t?” Lana asked as Clark nodded his head, sadly.

“I turned back time after you died in a car accident.” Clark confessed.

“How?” Lana questioned.

“I went to Jor-el and begged him to let you live. He said there was a way and I took it.” Clark said as tears welled up in Lana’s eyes, at what Clark did for her and would do for her.

“I don’t know what to say.” Lana admitted.

“You don’t need to say anything, but I think it’s best if we just forgot you knew my secret and…….stopped seeing each other.” Clark told her and began to walk back in the Talon, when Lana grabbed his arm.

“Best for whom?” Lana questioned firmly, with Clark’s back still to her.

“Both of us.” Clark told her.

“I don’t believe that. If you’re going bring me back to life just to let me go, than I’d rather die.” Lana told him sincerely.

“Don’t do this to me, don’t make this harder for me than it already is.” Clark said.

“Then don’t give up on us, because I never will.” Lana told him, making him face her.

“This was my dream. I wanted us to be together for the rest of our lives, there’s nothing more in the world I’d rather want. Sometimes in life you have to give up the things you want most in the world, to protect the one you love most in the world. Even your dreams.” Clark explained.

“No, you don’t. You protect the ones you love, by being with them, because what good is someone alive without a heart?” Lana pauses and takes Clark’s hand, placing it on her heart. “You’re my heart and soul Clark, without you, there is no me. I know you love me and all you want to do is protect me, because that’s who you are. You would sacrifice anything to protect the ones you love and so would I. The thing you have understand is, if you push me away, you may be protecting me physically, but you’re destroying me emotionally. Place the faith in me that I’m making the right decision, that I would rather die, then lose your love.” Lana said emotionally as single tears fell from her eyes. Clark looked her, feeling the same pain he saw in her eyes.

“Lana……I do have faith in you.” Clark sincerely replied as Lana smiled and took his hands.

“I was always hoping you did.” Lana said as she leaned and kissed Clark lightly, but passionately on the lips as they let out all of their emotions.

"Let's go back to the party." Clark said as he opened the door for Lana and they went in. Lois then came out.

"Everyone? everyone? HEY!" Lois shouted as everyone turned to her. "That's better. They're announcing the next senator on the news right now. Everyone turned to the TV.

"The race for senator concluded today and in a stunning victory, Jonathon Kent has defeated Lex Luthur." The announcer on the news said as everyone cheered.

"Lex is calling." Lana said to Clark, looking at her phone as Clark remembered what happened.

"Whatever you do, stay here or get a ride from my mom to our house. Just be careful." Clark told her.

"What?" Lana questioned Clark.

“Trust me, I’ll explain later. It has to do with what happened today, just make sure you leave with my mom. Don’t go any where by yourself.” Clark told her as he began to leave.

“I won’t……CLARK!” She yelled over the crowd to get his attention before he left. “I LOVE YOU.” She yelled to him as he smiled.

“I LOVE YOU TOO” Clark yelled back, Martha and Jonathon were hugging when his phone rang.

"Hello?" Jonathon said.

"Congratulations, Mr. Senator." Lionel said from his car.

"What do you want?" Jonathon asked.

"Just to have a word with you in person." Lionel told him.

"Fine, I'll meet you in my barn." Jonathon said before hanging up and leaving.

*The Mansion*

Lex pours scotch in two glasses, hits his glass with the other one and takes a drink, when he hears the doors open. “I probably shouldn’t have called.” Lex said as he turned around to see Clark and his eyes widened slightly.

“Expecting someone else.” Clark asked.

“Actually, I was.” Lex told him.

“She isn’t coming.” Clark responded as Lex nodded.

“Oh and I assume that’s because you told her not to?” Lex asked.

“Yep, because I thought it was about time we talked.” Clark told him.

“Sorry, but I’m kind of in a bad mood over losing the race and I’m really not in the move to be lectured on what I’ve done wrong.” Lex replied as Clark nodded.

“I don’t plan on lecturing you, but I did come to talk about Lana.” Clark informed him.

“Let me guess, you’re not happy we’re working together to unlock the secrets of Smallville?” Lex asked.

“No, it’s not that. Lana told me what happened and I understand her reasons for doing that as well as her reasons for coming to you. That’s not why I’m here.” Clark confessed.

“She deserves to know the truth, she doesn’t need you lying to her and keeping her from it.” Lex told Clark as Clark tried to hold in the anger.

“You’re right, she does deserve to know the truth. But she doesn’t need the danger that comes from it and I will do anything to protect her from that danger. Being Lionel Luthur’s son, I’m sure you recognize that the truth is a very dangerous thing.” Clark explained.

“The truth is what separates real from fake. People who hide the truth are just putting on facades to who they truly are.” Lex said, speaking a tone that is directed toward Clark personally.

“Maybe like the façade of pretending to be a friend, when they really wanted something else or maybe someone else?” Clark said.

“I was your friend Clark and I always tried to be that. Who was the one always trying to get you to open up to Lana and go after her? It certainly wasn’t Chloe. Who was the one who bought back your parents farm the two times they lost it? It was me, it was you who lied constantly in my face.” Lex told him.

“You did do all that and I always was grateful for that. Which is why every time my dad, Chloe, Pete and Lana told me what kind of person you were, I turned to them and said they were wrong. Exactly why I always had your back, then you turned around and investigated me behind my back. Friends don’t do that to each other, especially best friends. It took me four years, but now I have to face the truth. The man I called my best friend is gone and he’s not coming back.” Clark said, hitting himself emotionally hard as he hit Lex.

“That’s because the lies destroyed him.” Lex snapped back.

“Maybe and for that I blame myself.” Clark said as Lex looked down.

“We’re both to blame, but that doesn’t mean we have to put Lana in the middle of it. I truly am her friend and want to be.” Lex said, only saying the half truth.

“Okay, but I warn you.” Clark paused and walked straight toward Lex. “If you hurt her or harm her in any way……. it will be the last thing you ever do in this world.” Clark told him, staring hard into his eyes before walking off. Lex then stared at his glass of scotch and then threw it in the fire place.

*Talon*

Lana is going outside when she bumps into Chloe. “Lana.” Chloe said coming through the doors.

“Hey Chloe.” Lana replied.

“I hope you don’t plan on going for a drive.” Chloe said.

“No, don’t worry, Clark told me everything. I just needed some fresh air.” Lana told her.

“Where is Clark?” Chloe asked, looking around.

"At Lex's" Lana told her.

“Oh……I can’t imagine that will be too good.” Chloe said.

“What do you mean? I know they have had their problems, but what does Lex have to do with what happened?” Lana questioned Chloe, as Chloe stood there blankly, not knowing what to say.

“Because you got in accident after coming back from Lex’s mansion. I don’t know what happened exactly, you have to ask Clark.” Chloe told her.

“He’s been gone for a while now, I’m starting to worry.” Lana said folding her arms and looking toward the sky.

Hi, Jellie - it's been a long time since we used to play "Scrabble" together - that was before I discovered the Clana fanfic forums. Glad to see you've found it too. I never play "games" anymore - I'm too busy reading & writing Clana fanfiction. Hope to see more of you around here.

I never really read fanfics but thought about giving this a try. It has been very good . I love the alternative Clex action.

Reckoning Part 6

Lionel is leaning up against the loft stairs, when Jonathon walks in.

"What do you want?" Jonathon asked.

"Just to complete our arrangements" Lionel replied.

"We have no arrangement, because i'm going to pay back all the money I owe you." Jonathon told him.

"Come now, we both know you can't do that and I don't want you to. I want us to be partners." Lionel said.

"Partners? I will never be a partner with you and I won't be your puppet senator." Jonathon said sternly.

"I don't want you to be my puppet senator, I want someone who will do the job correctly. That is, with a little guidance." Lionel said.

"Guidance from you? Never and as far as i'm concern, we're done here." Jonathon said as Lionel approached him with a picture.

"Careful senator, we wouldn't want the public to see this, would we?" Lionel asked, showing Jonathon the picture.

"I won't let you destroy my family." Jonathon said, then punched Lionel in the face, sending him to the ground. He then picked up the picture and crumbled it with his hand. "Now, get out of my barn." Jonathon told him as he struggled to stay on his feet. His heart pills were on the ground as he strumbled his way out of the barn. Meanwhile, Lionel reached over to the crumbled up picture and took it.

Martha and Lana drived up in the middle of a conversation. "Lex and Clark have a lot of history Lana. You shouldn't worry, I'm sure Clark is fine." Martha said, looking toward Lana as Lana smiled and turned glanced a stumbling Jonathon coming toward them.

"Mr. Kent?" She asked as Martha saw him and she eyes widened.

"Jonathon...." She said and then he fell to his knees. "JONATHON!"

"Mr. Kent!" Lana and Martha rushed to his side as he struggled to stay up.

"Remember our promise....." Jonathon said to Martha before fell lifelessly into her arms.

"No........JONATHON." She said tears coming to her eyes as Clark appeared behind them.

"Dad?" He said in a whisper as he fell to his knees and placed his head in his hands. Lana tuned to him, feeling helpless.

*Smallville Medical Center*

Clark is sitting in the same corner he sat in just a day ago. His head leaning up against the wall. Martha and Lana sat next to each other, Lana holding Martha's hand, doing her best to comfort her. Lois and Chloe sat together, staring helplessly at the situation. The doctor, then walked in.

"Mrs. Kent." He said, as Martha and Lana stood up.

"Yes." Mrs. Kent replied, already knowing what he is going to say.

"His heart was just too beat up and it had nothing left. There was really nothing we could do, it was too late. I'm sorry." The doctor said as Martha cried and Lana took her in her embrace.

"Can I see him?" Clark asked, the doctor turned to him.

"Off course." The doctor told him as Clark walked toward the room, Lana watched him go. He approached the room just as he had one day ago. He entered the room and stood over Jonathon's bed.

"Dad........" Clark began, but paused, trying to collect himself. "I never meant.........If I had a choice........." Clark paused again, finding it harder to say what he wanted. "It wasn't suppose to be this way." Clark continued, but again found himself with nothing to say, with no words able to define what he was feeling, what he was trying to say. "I let you down...." Clark said trailing off.

"How could you believe that?" A voice said from behind as Clark turned around and saw Martha.

"Mom, there's something you need to know." Clark said, barely able to look at her.

"What is it?" She asked.

"I turned back time, because when this day originally happened......Lana was killed in a car accident. So, I went to Jor-el and begged him to save her life. Now instead of Lana dying it was dad, when it should have been me." Clark said, looking sadly down at the ground.

"You think you could have choosen between Lana or your father?" Martha asked, looking at him sternly.

"No...." Clark replied, in a low voice. Martha approached him and put her on his cheek.

"Clark, you tried to save the girl you love. I can't imagine what kind of pain you felt when you saw Lana die. You were willing to do anything to get her back. The same thing you would have done for me or Jonathon. And, I know for a fact, that Jonathon would have sacrificed his life so Lana's. Don't blame yourself for what happened, I don't and I know he wouldn't. Now, go see Lana in the waiting room, I'm sure she could use you." Martha told him as Clark nodded.

"Okay." Clark said, as he turned to look at Jonathon one more time before leaving. After Clark left, Martha turned back to Jonathon and placed her hand on his cheek.

"The sad thing is I've been preparing myself for this day. But no matter how much you prepare for things like this, it still feels like the same. It feels a knife went right through my heart." Martha said pausing as tears welled in her eyes. "I don't know what i'm going to do without you. You were always inspiring me and giving me strength, especially when we went through those hard times with Clark. Now you're gone......how can I guide our son without you?" Martha asked, tears following down her cheek. "I just want you to know that I loved you with all my heart and I never regretted my decision to be with you. Never did I regret leaving the life that I could have had, because I had you and then came Clark. And when the time comes, I will let him go." Martha said, kissing on the top of the head one last time.

*The next day in the loft*

Clark is putting on his tie or attempting to as he struggles with the not. Lana walks up behind him, she's dressed in a black dress. "Here." She said, fixing the tie for him.

"Thanks." He said, staring blankly out the window.

"I wish i knew what to say." Lana told him.

"There's really nothing to say. I made another mistake and someone I loved paid the price." Clark explained as Lana looked sadly toward him.

"Clark........" Lana said trailing before he walked up to her.

"This is why I never wanted to bring you into my life. I didn't you want you to feel this pain, you shouldn't have to. You don't deserve to." Clark told her and then turned toward the stairs.

"It's worth it, just to be with you." Lana told him as he turned around, looking hopelessly in her eyes.

"I wish I believed that." Clark replied and then walked down the stairs.

*Funeral, Lana's POV*

I always thought the worse feeling in the world was to feel alone. I was wrong though, the worse feeling in the world is for someone you love to feel alone and for there to be nothing you can do about it. Clark and his mother stood next to each, right in front of Mr. Kent's coffin, looking lost in sadness. I stood next to Clark, although I might as well had been miles away from him. I saw the look he had in his eyes in the loft. That look of helplessness and hopelessness, the one where I can tell he's blaming himself, isolating himself on an island. I wish I could let hm know that i'm here for him. I slowly reached for his hand, I took it and squeeze it lightly, so he'd know i'm here. He didn't squeeze back at his, but then he gave my hand a squeeze and I looked up at him, hoping that look had left, if just for a second. It didn't leave, it still stood there. I stood there heartbroken, feeling stupid that I could be, when he's the one who lost his dad. I couldn't help it, because I felt as though I lost a part of him that day.

I turned my head slightly as I saw Chloe and Lois leave. They looked sadly toward Clark before turning around and walking away. I even caught a glimpse of Lex, standing there alone, wishing he could be there for Clark, even if they weren't as close as they use to be. Then Lionel walked by Martha, giving her his condolences, before he walked away and seconds later Martha even stepped aside from Clark. We stood there hand in hand, I wanted so badly to take away his pain. He then slowly departed his hand from mine, our fingers slowly coming apart. He bent down besides his dad's grave, picked some dirt and placed into the coffin.

[superman_lives_on]

Jeebus... Once again, Clark is blaming himself for the woes of the world--or at least, his loved ones. I hope he learns to stop doing that, and soon--otherwise he can't truly become Superman.

I think the single best part was the bit written from Lana's POV, during the funeral. Gives us a great look into her thoughts and all. I hope Clark is able to open back up to her (and hopefully re-propose) by the end of Vengeance.

PPMS!

Vengence Part 1

Lana and Chloe are sitting in their dorm room, doing their homework, when Lana just throws lays the pencil down in frustration. "What I'm thinking? I can't do homework." Lana said.

"Neither can I." Chloe replied, putting down her pencil.

"Why does he do this to himself?" Lana asked, referring to Clark.

"I don't know, it is just the way he reacts. He blames himself for every bad thing that happens to the people he cares about." Chloe explained.

"I want to be there for him so bad, but he won't let me. I've been to the barn every day this week and it's always the same. He just stands there, staring out the loft window until I leave. He barely looks at me." Lana said, becoming sad.

"I wish we could help say or do something to help him, but I don't think we can. Not even you." Chloe said.

"Maybe especially me, I'm the reason his dad is dead. If I wasn't the one who got into that car accident, then maybe Mr. Kent would still be alive." Lana admitted.

"Lana, Mr. Kent had heart problems, it wasn't your fault. Don't do this to yourself, no one would want you to. You did nothing wrong." Chloe said, trying to comfort her.

"I still don't even know what happened completely." Lana said as Chloe looked away for a second.

"Clark didn't tell you?" Chloe asked.

"No, did he tell you?" Lana asked her back.

"Umm, no." Chloe lied.

"Oh." Lana said, before pausing, wondering if Chloe was telling the truth. But her thoughts quickly went back to Clark. "I have to see him, even if he won't talk to me." Lana told Chloe.

*Kent House, an hour later*

Martha grabs her bag as Clark sits at their kitchen table, deep in thought, looking depressed. "I'm going to Metropolis for a little bit, but I should be back later tonight." Martha told him as Clark nodded slightly to make her know he heard her.

"Okay." Clark managed to spit out as Martha looked at him sadly.

"Would you mind picking up some things at the hardware store? I left you a list." Martha told him.

"Sure." Clark said a weak tone as Martha left sadly. At that same time Lana's car pulled up to the Kent's. Lana and Martha embraced.

"How are you doing?" Lana asked.

"I'm managing, it's him that i'm worried about. He blames himself for what happen and he's upset. He won't listen to me, you're the only one he might listen to." Martha told her.

"But I'm the reason we're in this whole mess. I'm the reason your husband died." Lana said as the tears in her eyes threaten to spill.

"That isn't true, it isn't anyone's fault, except Jor-el's for what happened. And I know as a fact, that Jonathon would sacrifice his life for yours. He knows how much you mean to Clark and right now, you're the most important person in his life. He needs you, now more than ever." Martha said sincerely.

"You're right, I can't think about myself or my guilt. Not when the man I love is hurting." Lana said with renewed energy.

"Now go." Martha said as Lana mouthed a "thank you", before walking into the house. She quietly opened the door as Clark sat at the table.

"Hi." She said takng a seat right in front of him. Clark gave her a small glance before moving his eyes away from her. "I was hoping we could talk." She told him.

"There's nothing to talk about." Clark replied.

"I think there is. Clark you can't do this to yourself. If you let the pain boil up inside of you, it will start to control you, trust me on this. I lived with the pain of my parents death for years and it defined who I was. Please, i'm begging you, don't do this to yourself." Lana pleaded, staring into his lost eyes. Clark then got up.

"I have to go to the hardware store." He said as Lana got up and got in his way.

"We have to talk about this. I won't let you destroy yourself and us." Lana told him.

"No we don't." Clark replied coldy trying to move pass Lana, but she put her hand on his chest, stopping him. When she did that, he immediately grabbed her wrist, bringing it off him. She looked at him in shock, she never seen him like this. "Sorry." He said, snapping out of his trance to realize he did something wrong.

"It's okay, you're upset." Lana replied without hesitation.

"I really should go." Clark told her, moving around her to the door, when Lana turned him.

"Blame me, I'm the reason your dad is dead. It's my fault and I'd give anything to change that day, so it was me instead of him." Lana emotionally told him as tears came down her cheeks. Clark looked back at her sadly.

"I could never blame you." He said before walking out to a teary eyed Lana.

*Metropolis*

Martha is walking down the streets of Metropolis when two muggers confronts her with a gun. "Give me all your money and jewlery." The man says.

"Okay." Martha says, trying to be calm. She gives him everything, except Jonathon's watch.

"And the watch." The man says, but Martha shakes her head.

"Please, it's my dad husband's." She pleads with him.

"Give it to me or die." The man repeated.

"No." Martha said back, the men grabbed her and took it. Then, out of the shadows can this person with a mask.

"Who are you?" The muggers asked.

"Your worst nightmare." She said, kicking one of them in the gut. Then the other one went at her and she punch him with the face. The guy with Martha's watch ran as the other guy got thrown to the guy. Martha slowly came to her feet.

"Thank you." She said to the person, but when Martha looked up, she was gone.

[superman_lives_on]

Vengence Part 2

*The next day at the Daily Planet*

Chloe is sitting at her desk, when Clark walks in. She looks really surprised to see him. "Looks like a ghost like walked in." Chloe said.

"I needed to be alone." Clark told her.

"For how long? Until your guilt begins to destroy you piece by piece or until it tears the people you love piece by piece." Chloe said kind of harshly.

"Leave it alone Chloe, I don't want to talk about it. I can't talk about it." Clark said.

"Fine, but just remember, it doesn't only affect you this time." Chloe said as Clark looked away sadly for a second.

"I didn't come here for a lecture. I came here to ask you if you heard about a mugging last night." Clark asked.

"No." Chloe told him.

"Well, my mom went to metropolis and she was mugged. The man took my mother's watch, but my mom also said someone saved her. The woman had a mask on and she kicked those guys butts, but one got away." Clark explained.

"Hmmm, I've heard of this person, but no one knows who she is. I've been trying to track her for weeks. Let me get a picture of her up on my computer screen." Chloe said, typing fast as she finally managed to get a picture up.

"Not exactly crystal clear." Clark said, trying to the pencil drawing of the masked woman.

"I know, but there's not much else we can do." Chloe said.

"Unless......" Clark said, looking toward Chloe, giving her a look.

"Oh no...." Chloe said, knowing what he was up to.

"It is the only way to get her out." Clark said, trying to convince her.

"Ok, but I better get a huge story out of this." Chloe told him.

"You will." Clark said as Chloe shook her head at him.

*Luthur Mansion*

Lex is sitting at his desk, when Lana walks in. "Long time, no see." Lex said with a smile.

"I've been kind of busy." Lana told him.

"I can understand that, your boyfriend's dad died. You have to be there for him." Lex said.

"I came by, because I wanted to ask you something." Lana said.

"Shoot." Lex told her.

"Why did you call me the night of Jonathon's death?" Lana questioned him.

"Because I needed a friend." Lex said sincerely.

"There wasn't anything else, anything important you wanted to say or do?" Lana asked.

"Not particually." Lex confessed.

"Oh..." Lana said, trying to figure out if that was the truth.

"Why do you ask?" Lex wanted to know.

"Because when I got your call, Clark wanted to see you, instead of me going. I just thought you told him something earlier in the day or you two had a fight." Lana explained.

"Nope, but he did come see me." Lex said.

"I hope everything was civil." Lana said sincerely.

"As civil as can be between us." Lex said with a small smile as Lana nodded and turned to the door.

"I have to go." Lana said.

"Give Clark my best." Lex said as Lana gave him a nod and left.

*Kent House*

Martha is looking over papers in the kitchen, when Lionel knocks and then opens the door. "May I come in?" He asked.

"You already are." She said motioning toward him standing right in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I'll wait for you to open the door before I come in next time." Lionel said, closing the door behind him.

"Is there something you came by for?" Martha asked rather coldly.

"No, I just wanted to offer my help to you." Lionel said.

"We don't need help." Martha replied.

"I know this must be a tough time for you, but it's okay to take some help." Lionel said.

"Thank you for the offer, but we'll be fine on my own." Martha said, turning back to what she was doing as Lionel walked to the door.

"If you change my mind, the offer still stands." Lionel said before walking out.

*Alley in Metropolis.*

Clark and Chloe are standing in an alley. "Clark, you're nuts." Chloe told him.

"Come on, it will work, I know it." Clark said as Chloe rolled her eyes.

"It better." Chloe told him.

"Okay, ready?" Clark asked.

"Yep." Chloe said, as then Clark grabbed her purse and she screamed.

"HELP! HELP!" Chloe screamed, as then out of no where came this woman in a mask and costume. When she appeared, Chloe and Clark stopped struggling.

"I told you it would work." Clark said to Chloe as he moved toward the woman.

"This was a set up?" The woman asked.

"Yep and I've finally found you, after tracking you for weeks." Chloe said as the woman looked upset.

"You're the one that's writing all those stories?" She said upset as she approached Chloe angrily.

"I was only doing my job." Chloe said as the woman, now grabbed Chloe and lifted her up. Clark grabbed her off immediately.

"Let her go." He said, but then she tossed Clark into the alley wall and disappeared, when Chloe went to help Clark.

"She's gone." Chloe said as Clark looked upset.

Vengence Part 3

*Smallville Cementery*

Lana walks to the grave of her parents with some white roses in her hands, placing them down in front of the grave and then kneeling down. "I haven't been here in a long." She said to herself, looking down at the names of her parents.

"I knew I had to see you after Clark's dad died. All the memories of losing you two came back to me and it started to hurt again. But I couldn't let it bother me, because Clark needed me." Lana said turning away for a second.

"You have no idea, how much he means to me. I just wish I could there for him and comfort him, but then I realized I couldn't. When you lose someone you love, there's no amount of comfort that can erase the pain. I spent 12 years of my life going through that pain of losing you two, then Clark came along. It was the first time in my life that I didn't feel alone. He finally allowed me to move on and all I want is to do the same for him. I was hoping you could give me some kind of help." Lana said pleadingly and after a few minutes, she just looked sadly up in the air.

"There was another reason I came here. I wanted to ask you guys to do something for me." Lana said.

"Please let Jonathon Kent know, that I will never leave Clark and will do my best to guide him to his true destiny." Lana said and then got up, walking away, glancing back for a second.

*Kent House*

Lana knocks lightly on the door and comes in to see Martha crying lightly. "Mrs. Kent, what's wrong?" Lana asked.

"When I was in metropolis, a mugger stole Jonathon's watch. I was going to get it fixed, so I could give it to Clark. It meant so much to me, so much to him. That horrible man has probably already pawned it for drugs." Martha said, tears falling from her cheeks.

"Did Clark go to Metropolis looking for who took it?" Lana asked.

"Yes, he and Chloe are taking care of it." Martha told her.

"Oh...." Lana said.

"He'll come back to you, don't worry, he loves you too much not to." Martha told her as Lana let out a small smile.

*Daily Planet*

Clark and Chloe are sitting at Chloe's desk, thinking about what to do. "Nice plan Clark." Chloe said sarcasticlly.

"It almost worked." Clark replied.

"Yeah, almost, but also came with a free headache." Chloe said rubbing her head.

"We can......" Clark began, but his eyes diverted to a reporter who just walked in. "Who's that?" Clark asked.

"Just a new reporter, she's been here a couple weeks. I think her name is Andrea. Why?" Chloe asked.

"Something looks familar about here." Clark said, eyeing her.

"What do you mean?" Chloe asked.

"I have another idea." Clark said, ignoring her question as Chloe's eyes widened.

*An hour later at the Daily Planet*

Chloe is standing outside, alone again in an alley. "I can't believe he's making me do this again." Chloe said annoyed. At this time, Clark was watching the new reporter, he knew there was something strange about her, yet familar. He then heard Chloe scream and right on quo, the reporter got up and Clark followed her. He saw her change and then superspeeded into the alley. They both ended up there on the same time.

"You two again?" Andrea said as Clark put up his hands to stop.

"We don't want any trouble, I just wanted to thank you for saving my mother last night." Clark said.

"That was your mother?" She asked.

"Yes and I don't know what I would have done if I lost her too." Clark said.

"Too? You lose someone recently?" She asked.

"My dad." Clark replied.

"I'm sorry, but I have to go." She said turning around, but then Clark superspeeded in front of her.

"We're not that different." He told her.

"How did you do that?" She asked.

"Lets just say, I'm not from around here." Clark said with a small smile.

"I can see." She said.

"I want to help you find the mugger who did this to my mom." Clark said.

"I work alone." She told him.

"I can tell, but just for this one time." Clark said.

"Fine." She said, as Clark put his hand out and she shook it as Chloe looked on.

*Downtown Metropolis*

Lana walks into a pawn shop as the big guy from behind the glass eyes her, wondering what she's doing here. "Can I help you ma'am?" He asked as Lana turned to him.

"I was actually looking a watch. It's a special one, one that was probably brought in today or yesterday for money." Lana said as the man gave her a weird look.

"It just so happens that a man did come in with a watch last night. I gave him 100 dollars for it." The man told her.

"Would you be willing to sell it back?" Lana asked.

"At the right price." The man said with a slight grin.

*Downtown Metropolis*

Clark and Andrea are walking together down Metropolis. "When did you decide to be a superhero?" Clark asked, kind of jokingly.

"I guess I feel it's my duty or destiny as some people say." She told him.

"Is that the only reason?" Clark asked as Andrea turned to him.

"Who are you? Mr. twenty questions?" She asked as Clark gave a small smile.

"No, I was just wondering, because it might be my destiny, to do what you do. Except, it might be a whole lot more than just protecting people on the streets of metropolis." Clark confessed.

"I can tell, you have this ora about you. Like you're something special." Andrea told him.

"I've been told that my entire life." Clark sighed.

"Why do you run away from it then?" She asked.

"Because im afraid of what it might do to the people I love. How it might take away the best part of my life." Clark said, looking into the sky.

"You have someone special, don't you?" She asked him.

"Yeah, I do." Clark said.

"She means a lot to you?" Andres wondered.

"Everything......." Clark replied.

"That's the life of a hero. Choosing between the things that matter most to you or the things that are most needed of you." Andrea told him as he looked thoughtfullt at her before she began again. "The reason, I do what I do, is because of what happened to my mom." She confessed.

"What happened?" Clark asked.

"We were coming home from my gymnastics performance, when two men attacked us. They took all our money, then stabbed both of us, but i didn't feel. My mom did, she fell to the ground dead as those men walked away laughing. I promised myself I would stop that from ever happening again. The day she died was the day I lost my hero." Andrea explained.

"I know the feelings, you feel like you could have done something. That you could have saved her, but you didn't and now you have to try saving everyone else." Clark said as Andrea nodded.

"You're right." Andrea replied.

"You said, you didn't feel the knife in your heart? How is that possible?" Clark asked.

"I got a heart transplant about six months ago. The girl who gave it to me, died during the meteor shower. It must have given me my power." Andrea confessed and then paused. "Ever since then, I carry this." Andrea said taking out a meteor rock necklace as Clark began to weakened.

"I'm allergic to that." Clark told her.

"To a rock?" She asked.

"Yes." Clark told her, then she put it away.

"That's a weird......" She said, before trailing off as she saw the mugger who killed her mom and mugged Martha. "There he is?" Andrea said pointing to him as he went into a warehouse.

"We got him, now let's regroup back at Chloe's." Clark said as they both walked away.

[superman_lives_on]

Hmmm... So far, so good... At least Clark is talking to someone about it--to someone not terribly different from him.

Vengence Part 4

*Daily Planet*

Chloe is awating Clark and Andrea when they walk in. "How did it go?" She asked.

"We find him, he's at 300 central street in an old warehourse." Clark said.

"Good, now we can call the police." Chloe said, reaching for the phone before Clark stopped her.

"No police, we're going to find him and get him ourselves." Clark said bluntly.

"And we do you plan on doing what you find him?" Chloe asked.

"We're going to make him pay. Pay for what he's done and no one is going to stop us." Andrea said emphatically, before walking toward the door and turning around. "I'll be outside Clark." She said, before glancing at Chloe one last time.

"Clark, you can't do this." Chloe said.

"Why Shouldn't I?" Clark asked.

"Because, you might do something you'll regret." Chloe said as Clark looked away briefly and turned to her.

"I've done so many things in life that I regret, what's one more." Clark told her before walking out. Chloe then took out her cell and dialed Lana's number.

"Lana." She said.

"What's up Chloe?" She asked.

"It's Clark, he found the man who mugged his mother and stole his dad's watch." Chloe told her.

"That's great." Lana replied.

"It is, but Clark is going to find him and he's with this new costumed hero. See they're going alone and with Clark's attitude as of late, I think he's going to do something he'll regret. And with Clark's abilities, not to mention his new temper, I don't know what he'll do." Chloe explained.

"Where he is?" Lana asked.

"An old warehouse on 300, central street." Chloe said.

"Thanks Clo." Lana said, before hanging up.

*Warehouse*

Clark and Andrea walk in unscared and like no can touch them. There are three guys, the mugger is the one in the middle. "Who are you?" He asked, but before he finished his sentence, the two guys beside him were thrown into the wall and knocked out.

"You're worst nightmare." Andrea said as Clark grabbed the man by the throat and shoved him against the wall.

"Why do pieces of scum like you get to live and my dad deserve to die?" Clark asked angrily.

"What are you talking about?" He asked a screeching tone.

"You mugged my mother last night. What kind of low life robs older woman who are defenseless? I'm not defense, TRY ROBBING ME! Clark shouted as his gripped tightened.

"Kill him, he deserves to die." Andrea said, goating him on.

"Why should I give you a second chance?" Clark asked, as then the words of his father entered his head.

You can't let the anger get the best of you son

This isn't who you are

You're better than him

"Do it." Andrea said, then Clark released him and looked down at him.

"He'll go to prison, I'm not a killer, I'm not like him." Clark said as Andrea had a disgusted look on her face and came toward Clark.

"If you can't do it, then I will." She said, before Clark stepped in her way.

"It's not who we are." Clark told her, but she shook her head.

"Maybe it is and I'm sorry Clark, but I can't let you stop me." She said, pulling out her green kryponite necklace. Clark weakened to the floor.

"No..." He said as she placed the necklace on his neck and he laid defenceless on the floor. Andrea, then lifted the guy up by the collar with both hands.

"You're the man who killed my mother and now you're going to die." She said before the man put his hands.

"Wait! It wasn't my fault, it was a hit order." He said.

"A hit order?" She asked, confused.

"Lionel Luthur arranged it." He said.

"Then he's going to pay." Andrea said, throwing the guy and then running off.

*Luthur Mansion*

Lex is staring into his fire place when Lionel walks. Lex rolls his eyes at the sight of Lionel. "I guess you're here to rub in the fact I lost and that you had everything to do with it?" Lex asked.

"No my son, it was your undoing. If you hadn't been chasing a Miss. Lang you might have won." Lionel told him.

"I don't chase anyone, Lana is just a friend and that isn't why I lost." Lex told him.

"Oh my son, you're searching for fools gold. Miss. Lang is in love with someone else and no lie he tells her, no matter how many secrets he keeps, that will never change. You know why?" Lionel asked.

"No dad, why don't you enlighten me." Lex said sarcastically.

"Because she knows what's inside of him. He's the hero of the story." Lionel said as Lex looked at him with hate, even though he knew Lionel was right.

"Thanks for the lesson dad..." Lex said, when Andrea broke through the roof window of the mansion. "Who are you?" Lex asked, but she kicked into the wall, knocking him out.

"Lionel Luthur?" She asked.

"Yes?" He said and then grabbed him by the collar.

"You killed my mother, I'm here to return the favor." She said, looking hatefully into his eyes.

*Warehouse*

Clark is still on the ground, struggling to breath as the kryponite continues to weaken him. "Clark!" Lana shouts, running to him.

"Lana...." He said weakly.

"I'm here." She said ripping off the necklace and throwing it as far as she could. Clark quickly regained his strength, coming to his feet.

"I need to find Andrea." He said.

"Go." Lana said. Clark gave her a small smile, cupping her cheek with his hand, then superspeeded away.

Vengence Part 5

*Luthur Mansion*

"You ordered a hit on my mom, why?" Andrea asked.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lionel said.

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" Andrea shouted, tightening her drip on Lionel.

"You've made a mistake." Lionel told her.

"And so have you." Andrea said, throwing Lionel against the wall, when Clark came in.

"Andrea, stop, you don't have to do this." Clark said.

"Why shouldn't I Clark?" She asked, before beginning again. "He killed my mother." Andrea said, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You're different, you're not like him. You're a hero, you stand for what's right in this world and if you kill him, then you'll be standing for what's wrong in this world." Clark told her sincerely, as she looked thoughtfully toward him. She then began to back away from Lionel as Clark went to check on him.

"Thank you son." Lionel said as Clark nodded his head coldly and when turned around, Andrea was gone.

*Daily Planet, the next day*

"She just disappeared, I spent all of last night looking for, but i have a feeling she won't be found. At least not for a while." Clark told Chloe.

"Do you think she still wants revenge?" Chloe asked.

"Yes, but I think in a good way. I think she'll come back and when she does, she'll make a difference in the world." Clark said.

"What about you? How are you doing?" Chloe asked.

"I don't know, I wish I could say things were back to normal and everything is okay. But the truth is they're not and I don't think anything will ever be the same again." Clark said as Chloe looked at him sadly.

"Have you talked to Lana?" Chloe questioned him.

"No......." Clark said, trailing off.

"Clark, you have to talk to her, she's taking what happened very hard." Chloe sternly told him.

"Chloe, I don't know what to say." Clark said sadly, turning away from her.

"At least give it a shoot." Chloe said as Clark shrugged his shoulders and sighed.

"I'll try." Clark replied.

*The Loft*

Clark walks up to the loft and his eyes lit up when he see's his dad's watch. He picks it up and lays it on his wrist. Then it hits him, how did this get here? He thinks to himself and then turns around to see Lana. "I heard you lost it." Lana said walking up the loft stairs, toward him.

"How do you find it?" Clark asked.

"Pond shop in Metropolis." Lana replied.

"I can't believe you got this for me." Clark said in disbelief.

"I knew how much it meant to you, so I thought it was worth finding. Try it on." Lana said as Clark looked at her lovingly in the eyes.

"Okay." Clark said, putting the watch on.

"It looks great." Lana said as Clark smiled back to her and then Lana turned to go. "Well, I guess I'll go now." Lana said as she began to walk away, before Clark took her gently on the arm.

"Wait, we need to talk." Clark said as Lana stopped and turned to him. "I'm sorry for the way I acted this week, my dad dying just really hit me hard. But that's no excuse for treating the girl I love, the way I did." Clark said sincerely.

"I understand, you don't have to apologize for anything." Lana told him.

"I do though and the truth is, I'm lost Lana." Clark said walking to the Loft window as Lana followed behind.

"Lost about what?" Lana asked, standing beside him.

"About everything, I don't know what to do anymore Lana. All I can think about is that day and the choices I made. I made a choice and lost you, then I made another choice and lost my father. It's just like I said Lana, the ones I love, will always be the ones who pay for my choice." Clark said as Lana took his hands in hers, making him face her.

"Clark, there was no way of knowing the consequences for the choices you made. There was no way of knowing what could have happened the day you disobeyed you father. All I know, is that you made all your choices out of love. We all know that you would have sacrificed yourself in a second to save us from any pain, but you can't. The sad truth is, that's part of life, all we can do is learn and move on. The thing we have to remember, is that we don't have to face it alone. I want you to lean on me, please, you've taking it for me for years now, let me take it for you." She said pleadling, looking into his eyes.

"It isn't your mistakes to pay for." Clark replied.

"But it is, because you're a part of me , remember?" She said, showing him her necklace he gave her. "We're in this together." Lana told him.

"I don't want to be in this together. I want you to be safe, do you have any idea what it was like to lose you?" Clark asked, almost coming to tears, Lana looking teary eyed back.

"No......no, you're not going to do this. Tell me, what's the difference between losing someone through death or emtionally? There is none Clark! There is none...." She said firmly, whispering the last part.

"What if......." Clark began to say, when Lana put her finger on his lips to stop him and then kissed him lightly on the lips. He kissed her back as slowly parted lips and carefully reopened their eyes.

"No ifs, just us. I love you with all my heart Clark and I'm never leaving or giving up my us. That's my choice and no matter what happens, I'm going to live with it." Lana said as she leaned up against him.

"I just want to protect you." Clark whispered in her ear.

"You always have and always will." Lana said as Clark wrapped his arms around her and kissed on the top of her forehead.

*That night, in the Kent house*

Martha was sitting on the couch watching a video of Jonathon playing with little Clark. Her hand over her mouth, trying to keep her tears from falling. Clark then walks in, a smile on his face, he then turns to see Martha and the video.

"He was trying to teach me how to run the tractor. He figured I should learn as soon as possible, because I'd be taking over the farm one day." Clark said as Martha approached him.

"I remember....." She said as tears fell down her cheeks.

"I miss him so much." Clark said as Martha embraced him and he cried on her shoulder. The t.v. behind them showed a picture of Jonathon waving goodbye.

[akuma]

YAY! Clana is fixed:D:D glad Clark finally opened up to Lana and let her in, so much better that way:p PPMS

[SVsleuth]

Good for Lana - not letting him push her away anymore. PPMS

[superman_lives_on]

Yes, hooray for Lana--she's not going to leave Clark now, no freaking way! THAT'S how you write a strong character and a strong relationship, stupid PTB!

PPMS! Looking forward to when Clark recovers enough to propose again!

[super12]

that was a great post.
PPMS!

[eriii1]

Great post! The ending of that episode was so sad. PPMS!!

[SmallvilleMan]

Tomb Part 1

*The next week, Clark's barn*

Clark is fixing the tractor. "Wrench." He said as Lana handed him the wrench. Both of them dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, both of them dirty.

"Maybe you should call a professional." Lana said to Clark as he stared up at her in disbelief.

"What? Lana I've been helping my dad with this for years, I think I can fix it." Clark said as Lana just smiled and shook her head.

"Alright." Lana said as Clark turned the wrench and oil spilled all over him.

"Ahhhh" He yelled as his face and shirt was covered with oil.

"Years...you say?" Lana said laughing hysterically as Clark stared at her and then smiled.

"You're going to pay for that remark." Clark said getting up and running toward her as Lana stepped behind the tractor.

"Get away from me....." Lana said, still laughing.

"Not until you kiss the oil monster." Clark said showing her his hands covered in oil.

"No....." Lana said running away from him, but he used superspeed. "Cheater!" Lana yelled as he caught her and brought her to the ground.

"Now, as for my kiss." Clark said as he leaned in, kissing her sweetly on the lips. She happily returned to it, oil falling on her face.

"Now we're definitely going to have to shower." Lana told him, resting her hand on his cheek.

"I was hoping we would." Clark grinned at her and she returned his grin with her own.

"Men......." Lana sighed.

"Nope, Aliens." Clark said correcting her and then kissing her passionately on the lips. Then Martha walked in.

"Me and Jonathon could never fix the tractor together either." Martha said smiling at Clark and Lana as they scrambled to their feet.

"Hi Mrs. Kent." Lana said blushing as she hid her face on Clark's chest.

"Don't be embarassed Lana, nothing wrong with showing your affection for my son. In fact, it makes me quite happy to see." Martha said sincerely.

"Thank you Mrs. Kent." Lana replied.

"You're welcome, now why don't you two get clean." Martha said before leaving.

"Now about that shower...." Clark said as Lana slapped him lightly on the chest.

*Lois's apartment.*

Chloe is taking a shower as Lois puts on a kettle. "How you doing cous?" Lois shouted into the bathroom.

"Feeling better already." Chloe said as she washed her hair.

"Nothing a hot shower can't fix." Lois said. Then lightning strikes, the electricity flutters and as green light is flickers throughout the bathroom.

"Off course." Chloe said, referring to her bad luck. "I bet the electricity in Metropolis isn't out." Chloe said, putting up her hands in frustration. "Lois, do you have any candles?" Chloe asked.

"Below the sink." Lois told her as Chloe stepped out of the shower. She put on her rob and went to the sink, but when she looked into the mirror she saw a girl.

"Help me." The girl whispered and showed Chloe her cut wrists.

"AHHHH" Chloe screamed, Lois hurried into the bathroom.

"Chloe, what's wrong?" Lois asked as Chloe was on the ground and showed Lois her bloodly wrists. Lois looked on in horror.

*Smallville Medical Center, that night*

Lois and a doctor are talking in front of Chloe's hospital room. "How is she?" Lois asked.

"She's fine, may I ask what happened?" He said.

"I don't know, she was taking a shower, then the lights went out. She asked me where the candles were, I told her and then I heard a scream. That's when I found her when he wrists cut." Lois explained.

"Is there any history of mental illness in the family?" He asked.

"I'm her cousin, if there was, then I would know." Lois said as Clark and Lana walked in, hand in hand.

"Is Chloe okay?" Lana asked, concerned.

"She's fine, but I found her in my bathroom with her wrist cut." Lois said. "Oh and this is hear psychiatrist, Dr. Seidel." Lois informed them.

"Why would she do that to herself?" Clark asked,

"It could be stress, lose of a family member or the burden of keeping a secret." The doctor said as his last words stuck in Clark's head. Clark turned away for a second, Lana noticed him turn away.

"Can we see her?" Lana asked.

"Yes." Dr. Seidel said. Clark and Lana walked into Chloe's room. She smiled at them.

"How's my favorite couple?" Chloe asked.

"Good, but we were wondering how you were doing?" Lana said.

"And I bet you were wondering on why I would do this." Chloe said showing them her wrist, they nodded.

"You know you can tell us anything." Lana said.

"I know." Chloe nodded and began again. "If I was going to kill myself, I would have left one hell of a suicide note." Chloe said as Lana let out a small smile and Clark looked away dejectedly.

"I'll be outside Lana." Clark said, getting up and turned to Chloe. "I hope you feel better." He said and left.

"Don't tell me he blames himself for this." Chloe said, still looking toward where Clark was.

"The doctor said that happened to you, could be from stress or having the burden of keeping a secret." Lana explained.

"Oh, I see, so he thinks his secret is part of the reason why I'm here?" Chloe said.

"Yes." Lana nodded and began again. "Your psychiatrist asked if there was mental illness in your family and Lois said, if there was she would know. However, she wouldn't know if your mother did." Lana said as Chloe looked away for a second.

"Lana....." Chloe said, trailing off.

"I'm just saying, what if your mom had mental illness problems?" Lana questioned as Chloe sighed.

"She did...." Chloe whispered as Lana looked at her in shock.

"What?" Lana asked.

"I tracked down my mother a year ago and she was in a hospital for her illness." Chloe said, glancing down at her bed.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lana asked.

"Because, it isn't something I like to brag about." Chloe replied.

"Does Clark know?" Lana wondered.

"Yes, but I made him promise not to tell anyone and I need you to promise the same." Chloe told her.

"I promise." Lana said, giving Chloe a small smile.

[SVsleuth]

Oh, this is cool! Loved the tractor fixing scene - hilarious! And it's neat that Lana gets to be in on what is happening with Chloe. Keep up the nice work! PPMS!

Tomb Part 2

*Clark's loft*

Clark is sitting on his couch, when Lana walks up to the loft. She smiles slightly, shaking her head and takes a seat to next to Clark. "You know...." Lana said, resting her head up against hia shoulder. "One thing that I love about you, is how you wear your heart on your sleeve. You may try to hide your emotions, but your eyes always tell the story. I guess that's what always made our relationship so difficult for me. I could always tell that you wanted to tell me your secret and that you wanted to be with me, but you still pushed me away. That's part of the reason I promised myself that I would never give up on us, because I know what's in your heart." Lana explained, Clark let out a small smile.

"I never could fool you." Clark admitted.

"That's what happens when you love someone." Lana lifted her head to look him in the eyes.

"The doctor said what happened to Chloe, could have came from having the burden of keeping a secret. You and I both know that it could only come from keeping mine." Clark returned her look.

"Clark, how long have we known Chloe?" Lana asked.

"We've known her for more than 5 years now." Clark replied.

"And we both know she isn't crazy. She is our best friend. A person we've always been able to count on. Chloe would never do this to herself and you have nothing to blame yourself for." Lana tried to convince him.

"I mean if she was stressed, then why didn't she come to me?" Clark wanted to know.

"Maybe, because there was nothing to worry about." Lana cupped Clark's face with her hands. "Listen to me, whatever's going on, we'll figure it out together and nothing that happens, is your fault." Lana gives a reassuring smile.

"Chloe means a lot to me." Clark sighed.

"She means a lot to me too." Lana eyes stared to water and Clark took her into his embrace.

*Kent House*

Martha is looking through paper work and then she looks away, clearly frustrated. She then turns to see Lionel opening the door, she looks upset. "I'm sorry, it was open." Lionel walked in.

"We do have a front door." Martha looked at him annoyed.

"And next time I'll use it." Lionel replied.

"Listen, I'm not in the mood to talk....." Martha's elbow slipped and her papers fell to the ground.

"Let me help you." Lionel leaned down and pick up some papers, placing them back on the table.

"Thanks....." Martha tried to fix them. Lionel read some of them.

"Interesting reading material." Lionel looked from the papers to her.

"I was looking through some papers." Martha diverting her eyes from him to the papers.

"You wouldn't be thinking of taking his spot, would you?" Lionel questioned her.

"I'm more than capable of doing so." Martha firmly told him.

"I have no doubts, but don't you think you're trying to hold on." Lionel asked as Martha looked at him thoughtfully. "I better be going, if you need anything, you know how to contact me." Lionel smiled slightly and then left.

*The next morning, Clark's room*

Clark eyes fluttered open, he turn to his side and saw the most beautiful thing. Lana was laying on her side, both hands under her face. They didn't have sex that night, they just sleep together. Both of them needing to be together, but not that way, just in a way where they could be there for each other.

love I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Clark could only hope that this picture would last forever. It's the only thing he's ever wanted. The only thing he's ever asked for in life. That's when he made the choice, that no matter what happened, this picture would last forever.

He took his hand, gently wiping the hair out of her face. Then Clark's alarm went off and Lana shot up, turning to the clock. "IT'S EIGHT! I have to get to school!" Lana shouted, running to Clark's closet as Clark sat on the bed laughing. Lana then stopped and realized she was at Clark's. She didn't have class until one today.

"Whoops...." Lana blushed, turning to a laughing Clark.

"Good morning beautiful." Clark finally stopped laughing.

"Not funny...." Lana sat back on the bed.

"I just wish I was lucky enough to see that every morning." Clark smiled at her.

"If you play your cards right....maybe you will." Lana looked at Clark sincerely, they both smiled and shared a small kiss.

"I was thinking we could visit Chloe this afternoon, I'll just need to finish my chores." Clark got up and put on some clothes.

"Well, why don't I meet you there then? I'll go now and you can meet me there after you finish your chores." Lana suggested.

"You want to wait?" Clark gave her a puppy dog face as she got up and walked toward him.

"No, it's just that I want you to get some work done. You can't get work done if we're doing this." Lana kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Point taken." Clark kissed her back.

"Alright, let me get dressed and I'll see you later." Lana put on a shirt.

"Bye." Clark walked out of the room and then came back a second later. He rapped Lana up in a passionate kiss. "Love you." Clark said, Lana tried to catch breath from the kiss.

"Love you too." She finally said.

[superman_lives_on]

Lol...so cute, these two. :D And Martha had better not trust Lionel--she should tell Clark what the guy's doing, whatever that might be.

And Chloe...I fear that the worst still lies ahead for her. :(

PPMS!

[akuma]

[SVsleuth]

Nice to see them together. PPMS!

Update tonight!

[SmallvilleMan]

Tomb Part 3

*Smallville Medical Center*

Chloe is laying in her hospital bed, when she hears that same voice again. "Help me" It says and Chloe's eyes widen, when she sees the blood trail leading to her bathroom. She gets up from her bed and looks toward the bathroom, there she sees that same girl she saw in the mirror at Lois's apartment.

"Who are you?" Chloe came toward the bathroom, then Lana walked in.

"Chloe, I got up early to see you and Clark should be here soon. How are you feel....." Lana's questioned trailed off, when she saw Chloe looking confusingly toward the bathroom.

"Help me?" The girl said to Chloe as Chloe turned to Lana.

"Did you see her?" Chloe asked Lana. Lana looked at her confused.

"See who?" Lana questioned Chloe. Chloe turned back to the bathroom, the girl was gone. She then rushed into the bathroom, but no one was there.

"She was just here Lana." Chloe put her hands on her head in cofusion.

"Who was here?" Lana looked around and then back toward Chloe.

"The girl, don't you see the blood?" Chloe pointed to the floor.

"I don't see anything." Lana looked toward the floor and then turned back to Chloe. Chloe then went up to Lana and put her hands on Lana's shoulders.

"You have to believe. THE BLOOD'S RIGHT THERE. IT'S RIGHT THERE!" Chloe frantically pointed to the floor as Dr. Seidel watched everything.

"Nurses!" He shouted as nurses rushed to Chloe's room.

"NO! She was there and the blood" Chloe mumbled before they forced her onto her bed.

"Calm down Ms. Sullivan. Nurse inform the hospital we're switching Ms. Sullivan's room." The doctor informed the nurse. The rest of the nurses were, holding Chloe down as another one, was about to stick a needle in Chloe's arm.

"Lana! LANA! You have to help me, Lana." Chloe pleaded as Lana stood there shocked. The nurses stuck a needle in Chloe's arm and she fell back into the bed knocked out.

"Where are you going to put her." Lana turned to Dr. Seidel.

"She's going to a secure room with restraints, until we can figure out what's going on with her." Dr. Seidel explained, then walked away as Lex approached Lana.

"Lana, is everything alright?" He rushed to her.

"Yes, it's Chloe, she's acting strange." Lana turned to Lex, clearly emtionally by what's happened.

"Do they know what's wrong with her?" Lex looked toward Chloe's room.

"No, but they think it might be mental." Lana eyes turned toward her feet.

"Maybe I can help." Lex offered.

"How can you help?" Lana wanted to know.

"When I was put in Belle Reeve I came in contact with some of the best doctors. They might be able to help her." Lex suggested to Lana.

"Well, if they can help, then okay." Lana said, still horrifyed by what happened.

"I'll get right on." Lex nodded and turned to walk away, before Lana spoke.

"Thanks." Lana said, Lex smiled and left.

*Half an Hour later, in the waiting room*

Clark walked in from the elevator and see Lana sitting in a chair with her face in her hands. Clark hurried to Lana, "What's wrong?" He worriedly asked, taking Lana's hands and seeing her red face.

"It's Chloe.....She's....." Lana could barely repeat what happened. Clark took her into his arms.

"Everything is going to okay, I'm here now. Take a deep breath and tell me what happened." Clark said slowly and clearly as he rubbed her back.

"When I went to see Chloe, she was out of here bed and looking toward the bathroom like someone was there. Then she turned to him and asked if I saw her. I said I didn't see anyone, then she really started acting......" Lana paused, trying to find the right word.

"Crazy?" Clark finished her sentence.

"I was so scared Clark, I can't believe what's going on here." Lana kept her head rested on his shoulder.

"I should have been here." Clark told her and began again. "Where is she now?" Clark asked.

"They took her to another room, I don't know where yet." Lana lifted her head to look his eyes.

"Okay, I want you to go back to the farm." Clark cupped her face with his hands.

"No, I want to stay with you." Clark shook his head.

"I want you to go home and rest, you're too shaken up right now. Tell my mother what's going on and i'll call you if I hear something." Clark told her.

"But Clark...." Lana began to protest.

"Please Lana." Lana nodded her head.

"I'll call you as soon as I hear anything." Clark kissed her tenderly on the lips, the kis lingered before Clark slowly broke apart from it. Lana and Clark got up, gave each other one last hug before Lana left.

*Later in the day*

Clark is staring dejectedly at Chloe as she lays strapped to her bed in a secure room. Clark hears someone and turns around to see Lex. "What are you doing here?" Clark said, staring a hole through Lex.

"I came to make sure everything went smoothly." Lex walked next to Chloe's room, looking through the window.

"Make sure what went smoothly?" Clark said, never taking his eyes off Lex.

"Chloe's being transferred to Belle Reeve." Lex still had his eyes on Chloe in her room.

"Says who?" Clark came close to Lex, forcing Lex to face him.

"I set it up, she needs help Clark." Clark shook his head.

"She's not crazy Lex." Clark firmly told him.

"Lana thinks so." Lex replied as Clark glanced away for a second.

"She was upset and wasn't thinking straight." Clark returned his stare to Lex.

"It's for the best, they'll be here in an hour." Lex gave a small smile before walking away. Clark turned back to Chloe's room, looking thoughtfully at her.

[superman_lives_on]

I really don't trust Lex--yeah, I know, that goes without saying. Poor Chloe...and Clark and Lana are trying to support her and each other. MUCH better than the crap that the show is no doubt force-feeding viewers now.

PPMS!

[Nemu]

Clark needs to do with Chloe what he did with Ryan... before baldy send her to the loony bin... cause I'm sure Lex will try to mess her up even more... and her deepest fear will just make her crack...

but hey i didnt see the original so i dont know how far we are of the reality...

this is good... PPMS :D

[cufcchic]

i feel bad for chloe! ateast she has lana and clark for some support! nice 2 updates! i finally caught up! PPMS!

[SpeedyKate91]

Awsome updates!!! Can't wait for more!
PPMS!!!

[SVsleuth]

Bring on the rest! ;) PPMS!

[super12]

I have a feeling that Lex has something to do with Chloe's problems. He proably just wants Chloe to tell him everything about Clark cause any sane person wouldn't tell him anything.

PPMS!

[maru11]

update soon!!!!!!

[SmallvilleMan]

Tomb Part 4

*Lois's apartment*

Clark is on cell, as he stands in the kitchen. "Yeah, I need to tell you something...........Yes, it's about Chloe...........Just come to Lois's apartment........Everything is okay, I promise....bye" Clark finished his conversation on the phone and turned to Chloe on the sitting on the bed.

"How are you feeling?" Clark asked, walking over to Chloe's bed.

"Weird..." Was all Chloe could say.

"Here ya go Clo." Lois handed Chloe a cup of coffee.

"Thanks." Chloe took it to her mouth and drank some.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" Lois grabbed Clark's arm and took him to the side.

"Sure...." Clark looked to his arm, which Lois had a lock of.

"Why did you break her out?" Lois asked emphatically.

"Because she's not crazy and didn't belong there." Clark replied.

"I'm not saying she is crazy, but she is my cousin and maybe she does need help." Lois turn to Chloe for a second and then back to Clark.

"You know, I'm not crazy or deaf for that matter." Chloe said as Lois and Clark turned back to her.

"Sorry Clo, it's just I want you to feel better or fix whatever is going on with you." Lois warmly told her.

"I wish I could tell you what is wrong." Chloe sighed.

"Why don't we start from the beginning. What did you see?" Clark sat next to her.

"I saw a dead girl both times, each time it looked like she was trying to tell me something." Chloe explained.

"Lana said she didn't see anything." Clark told her, looking slightly concerned.

"What can I say?" Chloe shrugged.

"How can you only see her?" Clark questioned.

"I DON'T KNOW CLARK!" Chloe yelled.

"Sorry." Clark raised his eyebrows apologetically.

"I need to get back to work." Lois said to Chloe and then turned to Clark. "Don't do anything stupid until I get back, Smallville." Lois gave him a slight glare before leaving. Lana walked in and toward Chloe.

"Chloe, are you feeling better?" Lana asked concerned.

"I don't know, I just know what I saw." Lana gave a small smile and turned to Clark. "Can I talk to you in the bathroom for a second." Lana walked to the bathroom.

"Be right back." Clark said to Chloe and walked in the bathroom, shutting the door. As soon as the door was shut, Lana kissed Clark passionately on the lips. "Wow, what was that for?" Clark looked dazed and shocked.

"For being you. When I went home, I was thinking how if Chloe saw something, it must have been there. She doesn't deserve to be tied to a hospital bed. You did the right thing, you always do and you always protect the people you care about. I'm so glad you broke her out." Lana kissed him again, just more lightly this time.

"I'm glad you're okay with this and now, I'm even more glad I did it." Clark grinned and then Lana took his hand, leading him out of the bathroom, back to Chloe's side.

"I assume you two were making a plan in there, instead of making out?" Clark and Lana blushed. "Figures...." Chloe rolled her eyes.

"There's really not much we can do Chloe, except wait until you see her again." Lana suggested, Chloe turned away for a second and saw the girl again.

"There she is!" Chloe pointed toward the bathroom.

"Where?" Clark and Lana both got up, looking toward the bathroom.

"She's walking in the bathroom." Chloe hurries to the bathroom, Lana and Clark follow close behind.

"I can't see anyone Chloe." Lana said, looking up to Clark with a worried expression.

"She's right there, she just walked into the wall." Chloe pointed to the wall, Clark shrugged to Lana.

"Clark, x-ray the wall." Lana told him and Clark turned to the wall. His eyes widened when he saw a skeleton.

"There is someone there." Clark said and then went up to the wall. He ripped the wall apart, green Kryponite shined on him and backed away, falling to the ground.

Clark!" Lana rushed to drag him away from the skeleton. It looked like a dead girl, she had a green kryponite bracelet. Chloe touched it and then felt a spirit go through her body. "Chloe are you okay?" Lana asked, as she helped Clark to his feet.

"I'm fine." Chloe looked at her body. She then gave Clark and Lana a strange smile.

*A couple hours later, in the Talon*

"What do you think it means?" Lana looked worriedly at Clark.

"I'm not sure." Clark said as confused as Lana. Lois then walked up to them.

"Where's Chloe?" She asked, looking between the both of them.

"She said, she needed some time." Clark turned to Lois.

"I'll go check on her." Lana got up and walked inside the apartment. She came out seconds later. "She's gone." Lana told them, Clark and Lois exchanged looks.

*Chloe and Lana's dorm*

Chloe is fishing through her things, when she sees an idea for herself and also a stun gun. She smiles at the stun gun and leaves her room, when she bumps into Chloe.

"Chloe, i've been looking every where for you." Chloe looked at Lex confused.

"Yeah...." She tried to walk by him, but he stopped her.

"You need to come with me." Lex put a hand on her shoulder and stunned him, sending Lex to the floor.

"Sorry..." Chloe walked over him and left. Soon after, Clark and Lana arrived, they went over to Lex.

"Lex, are you okay?" Lex rubbed his neck and Lana helped to his feet.

"Chloe, she knocked me out." Lex stood up.

"Her stun gun" Clark nodded to Lana.

"My question is, how did she get out of the hospital?" Lex turned to Clark.

"Doesn't matter." Clark looked away from Lex.

"So, you broke her out Clark?" Lex gave a disapproving grin. "Nice job Clark, now she's out by herself and mentally unable. What are you going to do next, start breaking out convicted prisoners?" Clark ignored Lex's comments, took Lana's hand and started to leave. "She needs to be in Belle Reeve and she will, once I find her." Clark, then released Lana's hand and shoved Lex against the wall forcefully.

"Stay away from my friend!" Clark emphatically told Lex, looking dead into Lex's eyes. Lana lightly put her hand on Clark's shoulder.

"Let's just find her Clark." Clark looked at Lana, releasing his grip, he took Lana's hand and they walked away. Once there were out of sight, Lana turned to Clark.

"He was only trying to help, I did ask for it Clark." Lana informed him.

"I don't want him helping." Clark made it clear.

"What is this about?" Lana wanted to know.

"Nothing, let's just find Chloe." Clark picked up Lana and they superspeeded away.

[happycamper]

Very close to the original, but better! ;)

Tomb Part 5

*Lois's apartment*

“Her name is Gretchen Winters.” Lois tells Clark over the phone.

“Do we know what happened to her?” Clark asked.

“No, that’s all we know. “ Lois answered.

“Alright, listen, me and Lana are coming back over We need to find more information.” Clark said.

“Okay, bye.” Lois and Clark hung up. Then there was a knock at the door. Lois opened the door and it was a man. “Can I help you?” Lois asked.

“Yes, I’m looking for Chloe Sullivan. I work at the hospital.” The man informed you.

“Yeah, aren’t the nurse I saw there?” Lois suggested.

“Orderly would be the correct term.” He corrected her.

“Well Chloe isn’t here.” Lois turned to close the door.

“Are you sure?” He questioned her.

“Actually, let me check.” Lois said as an excuse to call the police, she went to the phone and dialed the sheriff’s office. The man noticed what she was doing and took a cloth which he drugged with alcohol. He then snuck behind Lois and put it over her face

“Hel….” She began to say, struggling to free herself.

“Shhhhh.” The man said as Lois faded into his arms.

“Sheriff’s office? Hello?” The phone said as it hung of the counter.

*Ten minutes later, Lois’s apartment.*

Clark and Lana walk in “Lois? Lois?’ Lana calls out, but hears nothing. She gives Clark a worried look and Clark checks the whole place.

“She’s not hear.” Clark shook his head and Lana pointed to the phone.

“Look.” Clark turned to the see the phone hanging off the hook.

“Great! Now we have two missing friends and no clues….” Clark sighed angrily and Lana looked thoughtfully at him.

“Gretchen Winters!” Lana whispered.

“What?” Clark didn’t get what she was saying.

“The girl you found in the wall, she must be connected to all of this.” Lana told him.

“You’re right, but how?” Clark threw up his hands.

“I don’t know, but we have to find out soon. Get us to my dorm and we can check it out on the computer.” Clark scoped up Lana and superspeeded to the dorm room.

*The orderly’s house*

Chloe shows up there, there she acts like she knows the man. She talks to him about how she knows what he did and who he is. She then uses her stun gun on him and kicks a couple of times, before hearing someone’s voice in the basement. She heads down there as fast as she can and see’s Lois, her eyes red from crying.

“Chloe! Watch out!” The man knocks her out from behind.

*Lana’s dorm.*

“Let’s see what we got here.” Lana typed quickly, bringing a file on Gretchen.

“She went missing in 1995, it says she had mental issues.” Lana looks up at Clark.

“It’s all starting to make sense, but we need some names.” Clark said, staring at the computer.

“Hmmm, it says the last person who saw her was an orderly, named Michael Blunt. He lives in Smallville,” Clark looked down and saw the address.

“:Alright, I’m going to talk to him.” Lana stopped him, before he could.

“Be careful.” She told him, he kissed her on the head.

“Always.” Clark then superspeeded away, as Lana smiled.

“He’s going to save the world.” She said to herself.

*Michael’s house*

Michael threatens to kill Chloe if Lois doesn’t slit her wrists. Then Chloe tells the man about who he is and who she is.

“It’s me Gretchen.” She says as Michael goes to her.

“Gretchen?” He walks to her in shock.

“Yes, I want you to help me. Please, help me.” She pretended to plead.

“Anything for you.” He walked to her, knife in hand. When he got close enough, she touched him with the bracelet and light went from Chloe to his body. Then he looked at the knife and smiled, before stabbing himself. Clark then rushed into the room.

“Chloe! Lois!” Clark shouted.

“A little late Smallville.” Lois motioned to the dead guy

“What happened?” Clark asked concerned.

“Gretchen finally got her revenge.” Chloe smiled and Clark sighed in relief.

*The next day, Kent Barn*
Clark puts some finishing touches on the tractor, then gets up. “Done!” He says proudly, when he hears Lana clapping behind him.

“Bravo, bravo.” She laughed, still clapping her hands.

“Thank you, thank you, I try.” Clark bowed to her.

“Your dad would be proud.” Lana said, walking up to him and kissing him lightly on the lips.

“I hope so.” Clark replied, wiping his hands on a cloth.

“I know I am, not everyone can save the day and then go home, fix things there too.” Lana rubbed his arm lovingly.

“What I do, I do for my friends and for the people I love.” Clark said, looking her in the eyes.

“I just hope one day, I can do what you do.” Lana told him.

“You do, everyday you’re with me. Everyone needs motivation and you’re my constant motivation to be the best person I can be.” Clark lightly grabbed both her shoulders.

“Did I tell you how much I love you?” Lana said, looking adoringly at him.

“Yes, but constant reminders are welcome.” Clark grinned and Lana slap him playfully on the chest, before kissing him passionately on the lips. Martha then walks in, Clark and Lana break apart.

“At least you finished the tractor this time.” Martha looked toward the tractor as Lana’s face turned bright red once again.

“Wow…..” Was all Lana could say in her moment of embarrassment.

“Yes mom?” Clark asked, holding Lana by the waist.

“I wanted to ask your opinion about me taking your dad’s seat for senator.” Clark looked toward Lana and then Martha shocked by what she said.

“How long have you been thinking about this?” Clark wondered.

“For about a couple days.” Martha replied.

“Is this what you want?” Clark needed to know.

“I think I can do good things.” Martha sincerely told him.

“Then I support you and want you to do it.” Clark said.

“What about the farm?” Martha asked.

“I can take care of the farm.” Clark answered.

“I’ll help too.” Lana said, she and Clark shared a smile.

“Okay, then I guess I’ll take his seat. Thanks.” Martha, went over and hug Clark, then Lana. Then she walked out.

*Mental Hospital in Metropolis*

Chloe walks in, looking very hesitant. "Umm, Mrs. Sullivan." Chloe asked the lady, who pointed to a lady looking out the window. Chloe slowly walked to her, not sure how to react or what to do. "Mom?" Tears growing in Chloe's eyes as the woman turned around. "Mom!" Chloe repeated and hugged her as the woman returned it.

[superman_lives_on]

Teeny bit rushed, but I'll take it! :) Now, I wonder when Clark is gonna renew that proposal?

[SmallvilleMan]

Rushed? Really? I just didn't want to go through the whole thing with the orderly and that girl. Frankly it was all too weird for me and it wasn't clana, so........

[superman_lives_on]

Oh. I see your logic.

[Nemu]

that was good... and like Supes said... I wonder when Clark will propose again...

PPMS :D

[SVsleuth]

Neat having Lana in on everything & supporting Clark. PPMS!

[SmallvilleMan]

My own Preview for the upcoming episodes(if Smallville Can do it, so Can I!:p )

In the past weeks, Clark has been fighting with myself on deciding whether to ask Lana to marry him, again. Soon he will make his decision and a dream will come true. Meanwhile, enemies make themselves known. An old enemy returns, a new one is made and a warning from Jonathon Kent, makes Clark aware of a threat to not only him, but this mother. Dreams can come true for Clark and Lana, but as it usually does with them, the nightmare soon follows. Clark and Lana will face their darkest hour, as Lana is forced to make the biggest decision of her life. With Martha Kent busy as senator, it will be up to Chloe to help her friends or watch it all come crashing down besides her.

[akuma]

Great job, i cant wait to see how u change the rest, PPMS

Ooh... "Cyborg", I presume? This could be quite different...

[SmallvilleMan]

Cyborg, Part 1

*Lana's dorm, a week later.*

She and Clark walk in her room, hand in hand, until Lana drops to her bed, dead tired. Clark tries not to laugh. "Farming work a little harder than you thought?" Clark smile brightly at her.

"Yeah........I thought running the Talon was hard, but running a farm, that's a whole new story." Lana placed her hand on her head, wiping some sweat off.

"If it's any consolation, I kind of get turned on when I see you sweat like that." Clark grinned and Lana threw a pillow at him.

"Is that all you think about?" Lana sat up.

"Can you blame me? I have the most beautiful girl in the world as my girlfriend who I'm deeply in love with, what else should I be thinking about?" Clark said, sitting on the bed next to Lana.

"What you should be thinking is how we're going to go to school and run your parents farm at the same time." Lana said, as Clark turned away at the mention of school.

"I kind of dropped out of school." Clark turned back to her, with a guilty look on his face.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lana looked at him in shock.

"I didn't think it was that important." Clark shrugged it off.

"Not that important? Clark, you need a college education if you plan on getting any where in this world, even for someone with your abilities. They can only get you so far." Lana scolded him.

"I just think there are more important things to take care of now. School can wait." Clark told her and Lana nodded.

"Okay, but promise me you'll reconsider this decision once we get things back to normal." Lana said.

"I promise." Clark replied.

"Good, now I have to take a shower and head to the library. I'll call you tonight." Lana said, getting up to go into the bathroom, before Clark stopped her.

"No goodbye kiss?" Clark pouted.

"Just one and I mean it Clark! Only one." Lana told him emphatically.

"Fine, only one." Clark agreed, Lana leaned down and kissed him. But he kept her down and soon the kiss turned more passionate. Lana rolled on to Clark as they continued kissing.

*An hour later.*

Lana and Clark laid in bed, both smiling as their legs were tangled together. Then, Lana realized what time it was. "I have to go." Lana leaped off the bed and went for the bathroom, before Clark stopped her.

"No goodbye kiss?" Clark pouted again.

"Nice try." Lana smirked and ran into the bathroom.

'Hey, it worked once." Clark said placing his hands on the back of his head and grinning.

*Laboratory, somewhere in Metropolis*

A doctor is standing over a body laid out on a surgery table. He rubs his hand in disgust and sadness. "I'm so sorry....I'm so sorry." He repeated over and over.

"What..." The body whispered and looked up.

"Can you hear me?" The doctor asked, looking him over.

"Yeah." The person said, shaking off the cob webs.

"We did our best to save you. I mean the real parts of you." The doctor explained.

"Thank you." The person said, getting up, when an alarm sounded.

"You have to leave, they're coming." The doctor told him and he hurried for the exit. Another man doctor chased after him with guards.

"Shoot him in the shoulder, I need him alive. If you kill him, Mr. Luthur will make you pay." The doctor yelled.

*The streets of Metropolis*

Lana is driving her SUV, when out of no where comes this person and she crashes into him. "Ahhhh." Lana screams as she bangs her head and gets knocked out.

*Metropolis Hospital*

Lana grabs her head in pain. "Owww." Lana says, wincing slightly at her pain.

"Are you okay?" The person asked, who happened to be the same person that was in the Laboratory. Lana looked at him not believing what she saw, although less suprised that most would be. Considering who her boyfriend was.

"I hit you." Lana said, pointing to him.

"Yeah..." He replied, looking away.

"Yet, here you stand, alive and well." Lana motioned with her hand.

"Not something you see every day." He acknowledged, looking around her room, seeming kind of jumpy.

"Actually, you'd be surprised." Lana let out a small laugh.

"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened and I'm glad you're okay. But I have to go." He turned to leave.

"Wait, what's your name?" Lana asked.

"It's probably better you don't know." He said, before hurrying out. Lana looked suspiciously toward the door and then took out her cell. She dialed Clark's number.

"Clark." Uh oh was Clark's first thought at hearing Lana call him.

"Hey, is everything alright?" Clark needed to know.

"Actually, I'm at the hospital....." Before Lana could finish, Clark was standing right in front of her.

"What happened?" Clark asked concerned, gently placing his hand on her cut.

"I got into a car accident." Lana said, as Clark looked sadly at the cut, before Lana took his hand. "It isn't bad Clark." Lana reassured him.

"How did this happen?" Clark questioned her, taking a sit in a chair next to the bed.

"I was going to the Library, like I said and then out of no where came this man. I hit him and got knocked out. He brought me here and....." Lana then turned to Clark, looking serious.

"And what?" Clark wanted to know.

"He didn't have a cut on him, he was perfectly intact. Like he was hit a feather, instead of an SUV going 30 mph." Clark looked away for a second.

"What did he look like?" Clark asked.

"He was black, looked around our age, wore a yellow shirt, with a black jacket and blue jeans and there was something else." Lana said, thinking back.

"What is it?" Clark looked at her seriously.

"He looked lost and paniced. Like he was running away from something." Lana explained.

"I'm going to try and find him." Clark got up and then kissed Lana sweetly on the forehead. "Stay here, I'll come back when I find him." Lana nodded.

"We don't who he is Clark, so be careful." Lana told him.

"I will, now rest." Clark smiled and superspeeded away.

*Streets of Metropolis*

Clark is superspeeding around, when he notices the police sirens. Police cars pass by an alley, where a man, who fits Lana's description seems to be hiding. Clark superspeeds over there. "Hiding?" The man jumped when he saw Clark.

"You could say that. Is there something you want?" The man questioned Clark.

"Yeah, you hit my girlfriend." Clark told him.

"Are you looking for an apology card?" He replied.

"No, more like an explanation." Clark stood in front of head, folding his arms.

"I'm sorry for what happened to your girlfriend and her car, but I don't have time for this." He began to walk away, when something in Clark's head clicked.

"Wait a minute! Aren't you Victor, Victor Stone, a wide receiver from Met high?" The man stopped and turned to him.

"Yep, that's who I used to be anyways." He sighed.

"What happened to you? My girlfriend said she hit you head on and you have no scratches." Clark pointed to his body.

"Milk does a body good, do I know you?" Victor asked curiously.

"I'm Clark Kent, Smallville Crows." Clark informed him.

"Some arm you got." Victor complimented him.

"Yeah, I don't play anymore." Clark admitted.

"Neither do I." Victor said.

"I'd assume so, considering you're dead." Clark told him.

"Listen, I don't have time to play 50 questions. I have places to go and one of them isn't here. It was nice seeing you and tell your girlfriend sorry for me, I never meant to hurt anyone." Victor said, trying to pass by Clark, but Clark grabbed his arms.

"We need to talk, you can't run." Clark said as Victor tugged on his arm.

"Let go Kent, Let go!" He firmly said, tugging hard one last time and sending Clark hard into a wall. "Kent, are you okay?" He asked with concern, until Clark got up like nothing happened. "What are you?" Victor said in complete awe.

"I could ask the same of you." Clark replied, dusting of his jacket.

Cyborg, Part 2

*Kent House*

Martha is on the phone. "Who is this?.......Please don't do this......... I don't have that kind of money and I can't raise it in time.....Fine, I'll be there." Martha put down the phone looking dejected and scared. Then there's a knock at the front door.

"Am I late?" Lionel asked walking in.

"No, you're on time." Martha told him.

"Good, because I'd hate waste the time of our new Senator." Lionel showed her the paper.

"I'm sorry, but I have to reschedule our conference." Martha said.

"Okay, may I ask what's wrong?" Lionel wanted to know.

"Nothing I can't handle." Martha replied, still looking a bit shaken up.

"I wouldn't doubt it, but if you need my help, you know where to find me." Lionel offer and gave a smile before leaving.

*The Loft*

Clark is on his cell talking to Lana. "I found him.....Yes, he's okay, but you were right about him, he's different......Just wait for Chloe to pick you up and meet me at the Daily Planet.....No, I just need time to sort things out here first. I don't want you in danger......I love you too, Lana." Clark hung up his cell and turned to Victor. "So, care to explain?" Clark asked.

"We were all riding in a car one day. I started to snow, it was me, my parents and my sister. We were going out to eat, to celebrate me getting a free ride to Met U for Football...." He paused, emotion starting to take over. "Then it happened, the car started to spin out of control. My dad desparately tried to keep it straight, but it was no use. Before we crashed, I passed out and when I woke up.....I got this." Victor motioned to his new body.

"Who would do this to you?" Clark was disgusted.

"Cyntechnics scientist. I don't I was the only one they tried this one, just the only who survived. Had it not been for this doctor, I'd be all machine." Victor sighed.

"Don't you mean bionic?" Clark corrected you.

"I guess, but enough about me. What's your story?" Victor asked.

"Let's say, what made me, wasn't by drinking a lot of milk." Clark grinned as Victor looked at him curiously.

"So then I'm guessing you're not like me." Victor said.

"I'm not like anyone Victor. I give the term different, a whole new meaning." Clark admitted.

"I see." Victor paused, clearly in thought. "Tell me, does your girlfriend know?" He asked.

"Yes, she knows everything." Clark smiled, happy he could finally say that.

"Did that change the way she felt about you?" Victor needed to know.

"No, it didn't, in fact it made her love me more." Clark said, feeling completely happy with himself saying that.

"I don't know if I can take that chance with my girlfriend." Victor admitted.

"What's her name?" Clark asked.

"Katherine." Victor answered.

"Pretty name and tell me, do you love her?" Clark questioned him.

"I do love her." Victor sincerely said.

"Does she love you?" Clark said.

"Yes, she does or did." Vcitor told him.

"Then you should tell her the truth. Trust me, secrets and lies only hurt a relationship." Clark told him.

"What if she rejects me?" Victor wondered.

"And what if she doesn't?" Clark said as Victor looked away. Clark began again. "Listen, I've known been in love with Lana my whole life and had always been afraid to tell her the truth. I was afraid she would reject me, because of who I am, so I lied and kept secrets from her. All that did was hurt her and us. Until one day, I told her everything and I've never been happier in my whole life, than I am now. I know the risk in telling her, but the reward is much greater and worth it. Trust me." Clark explained.

"How could she ever love me though? Look at me...." Victor motioned to his body and what they did to happen.

"Victor, they can take away your body and replace it, but they can't take away who you are on the inside. If love someone, the inside is all that matters." Clark said as Victor looked at him thoughtfully.

"Not like it matters those, Cyntechnics is all over me. Wow, am I going to see her?" He said, looking sadly at the floor.

"A friend of mines works at the Daily Planet, maybe she could do something." Clark suggested.

"You'd do that for me." Victor asked surprised.

"I understand what it's like to be in your position, so sit tight and I'll be back." Clark said, walking away.

*Daily Planet*

Chloe and Lana are sitting in Chloe's area, when Clark walks. He immediately goes up to Lana. "How's your head?" He asked.

"Fine." Lana said as Clark stroked her cheek.

"You had me worried there." Clark said, concern in his eyes.

"Sorry, I know car accidents aren't our favorite thing to wear about." Lana admitted and Clark smiled.

"I just don't know what I'd do if I didn't get to do this again." Clark kissed her passionately on the lips, before Lana broke it.

"Neither do I." Lana kissed him back as they stood there kissing.

"Umm, excuse me." Chloe said, Clark and Lana ignored her. "EXCUSE ME!" Chloe shouted, Clark and Lana broke apart.

"Sorry." They both said.

"Now, I assume there's a reason we're here." Chloe said

"Yeah, I assume Lana told you about the guy who hit their car. Well, he's bionic and he has Cyntechnics after him." Clark explained.

"Okay, let me see what I can find." Chloe turned to her computer.

"You were with him for a while Clark, what did you talk about?" Lana wondered.

"We talked about what's like to be different and in love." Clark said.

"Oh...." Lana said.

"Yeah, he has a girlfriend and he's afraid to tell her the truth." Clark said.

"He can't keep lying to her, it only hurts the both of them. You should know best, we're both experts in that field." Lana smiled at him and Clark wrapped his arms around Lana.

"We are and I told him that love is worth it, because the happiest day of my life was when you accepted me." Clark kiss Lana lightly on the lips.

"We have a problem, I'm not getting anything." Chloe told them as Lana and Clark broke their embrace. They went to look on the computer.

"There has to be something." Clark said frustrated.

"All it says, is that they were working on a project to replaced damaged limbs." Chloe said.

"Who owns Cyntechnics?" Lana asked.

"Luthur Corp." Chloe replied.

"Big surprised." Clark said, rolling his eyes.

[Nemu]

1st...

That was good!! I liked the talk between Victor and Clark...

PPMS... :D

[superman_lives_on]

Nice progression...though I kinda wish Chloe had thrown out a snarkier line when she interrupted the kissing. :D

PPMS!

[Dr. Jeckyll]

Hey, great uppie SVM.

I haven't seen the newest episode as usual, but it seems like we clana-fans took it pretty hard. You're doing a great job with cyborg. The good-night kiss was awesome :)

I'm waiting for your next. PPMS!

[akuma]

Nice update, PPMS!

[SmallvilleMan]

I haven't seen the newest episode as usual, but it seems like we clana-fans took it pretty hard. You're doing a great job with cyborg. The good-night kiss was awesome

Dr. it wasn't even the fact they broke up, it was everything else. Don't watch it, i'm telling it's worthless. They turn Clark into a coward, Lana into a scornful person, Martha into someone who doesn't know what's going on anymore. In one episode they've changed those three characters into something they aren't and shouldn't be. Not to mention they took a huge crap on the clana love. I hated Reckoning, but this episode was soooo much worse.

[maru11]

great update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
update soon!!!!!!!!!!

[super12]

great post.

PPMS

[SpeedyKate91]

Good Update!!! PPMS!!!

[Shadow116]

Just started the story I like it can't wait to see more of what SmallvilleMan will do to season 5 :).

[maru11]

update soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please!!!!!!!!!

[SmallvilleMan]

tomorrow or today

[superman_lives_on]

Hmm... Have you guys ever thought about having Clark serenade Lana? No, seriously!

[SmallvilleMan]

No...I have many ideas, that is not one of them.

[superman_lives_on]

Just a thought. In any case, I'm looking forward to more of this alternate episode.

[SmallvilleMan]

Cyborg, Part 3

"I'm going to see Lex." Clark then walked away, Chloe and Lana shared a look. Lana caught up to Clark before he could superspeed away.

"What do you think you're going to do?" Lana asked.

"I'm just going to talk to him." Clark said, not looking at her.

"Are you sure? Because I know how you feel about Lex and I don't want you doing something stupid." Lana told him.

"I won't." Clark replied.

"I want to go with you." Lana said.

"No, I'll drop you off at the barn. Stay with Victor." Clark said as Lana sighed.

"Fine, but look at me Clark." Lana paused, until Clark looked her in the eyes. "Don't lose your temper, please, for me." Lana said, looking lovingly into his eyes.

"For you." Clark said, giving her a small kiss on the lips, before picking her up and superspeeding away.

*Lex's Mansion*

Lex is looking into his fireplace when Clark storms in. "You love to make an entrance, don't you Clark?" Lex gave him a smirk.

"What do you know about Victor Stone and Cyntechnics?" Clark said, ignoring Lex's comment.

"I suppose saying hello is too much to ask you." Lex said, walking to his desk and sitting in his chair.

"Let's cut the crap Lex." Clark firmly told him.

"Fine, Victor Stone? Isn't he a football player that died a couple of months ago?" Lex asked.

"Yes, but he isn't dead anymore." Clark replied.

"Wow, he must have the same rejuvenating powers as you do Clark. However, I fail to see what this has to do with me." Lex told him.

"Cyntechnics is owned and ran by LuthurCorp." Clark said.

"Yes it is, I never said it wasn't. The last time I checked though, LuthurCorp has a lot of companies and I can't be aware of them all." Lex laughed slightly.

"You think taking away someone's life is funny?" Clark was started to lose his temper, but then remembered Lana.

"No I don't, but I think giving someone a second chance is something good. Maybe he should be thankful that he's alive and not six feet under." Lex snapped back.

"Maybe some people would rather die, then have their whole life turned upside down and turned into something they don't want to be." Clark told him sternly.

"I guess we have a difference of opinion, seems to be happening a lot lately." Lex shrugged.

"Yeah." Clark replied and then Lex got up.

"I have a meeting to go to, but it's been fun." Lex sarcastically said before walking out.

*Clark's Loft*

Lana quietly walks up the loft stairs. "Victor? Victor?" He lightly grabs her from behind and she jumps.

"Sorry." He said.

"It's okay, how are you holding up?" She asked.

"Alright, I guess. Where's Clark?" He wanted to know.

"He's talking to Lex Luthur. It turns out that LuthurCorp owns the company that did this to you." Lana informed him.

"Oh really, I'd like to have some words with him myself then." Victor said in anger tone.

"We don't know if Lex had anything to do with it. Admittedly, I do have my doubts about Lex, but he can be a good person as well and I think it's unfair to immediately blame him." Lana said.

"And it's unfair for me to have to live like this when I should be dead." Victor snapped back.

"Just look at it as a second chance." Lana told him.

"A second chance at what? To live life on the run? No thanks?" Victor said.

"No, a second chance at love." Lana said, making him look her in the eye.

"Clark told you about Katherine?" Victor asked and Lana nodded.

"Yes, because he and I went through the same thing. I’m sure Clark told you his point of view of it, so now I'll tell you mine." Lana paused before she began. "Clark use to kept secrets from me and lie to me. The only reason I wanted him to tell me, was because I knew it was the only thing keeping us apart. I didn't care what his secret was and I always trusted him. I just wanted, no needed to know, because I wanted to be with him. I'm sure thing she feels the same way." Lana said as Victor looked at her thoughtfully, then turned to leave. "Where are you going?" Lana asked, surprised.

"To find Katherine." Victor said, before he fell to the ground.

"Victor!" Lana shouted and went to his side.

"What the hell?" He asked, looking at his arm.

"Target acquired, Uh." The man with the gun was just thrown into the barn and knocked out by Clark.

"Lana! Victor!" Clark ran up to them, he smiled at Lana, who returned it, then turned to Victor. "Are you alright?" Clark asked.

"I got shot." Victor told him.

"Let's get out of here." Clark said.

*Lois's apartment*

"Let's lay you down." Clark lays Victor down on the bed as Lana watches.

"I'll get him a towel." Lana said, rushing to the bathroom.

"You'll be safe here, Lois isn't coming back for a week." Clark told him.

"Thanks, I'm sorry about this. I didn't mean to bring you and your girlfriend any trouble." Victor told him.

"It's okay, trouble has a way of finding us, anyways." Clark gave a sarcastic laugh as Lana came out with a wet towel.

"Here you go." She put it on the wound.

"That might work for now, but my cells and fluid are draining. If this continues, I'm a dead man." Victor said as Clark and Lana gave each other a worried glance. Clark, then brought Lana aside.

"I'm going to see what Chloe can do for us. Stay here with him and call me right away. Don't answer the door for anyone except me, not even Lex." Clark instructed her.

"I won't." Lana reassured him.

"Be careful." He told her and turned around to leave.

"Clark" She said and he turned to her. "I love you." Clark smiled at her and mouthed "I love you too" before speeding away.

*Daily Planet*

Clark tells Chloe what's going on and ask her to find a doctor named Hong. "Chloe, we to find him now." Clark told her.

"I'm on it." She searches through her computer. "It turns out the lead scientist for the Machina project, Dr. Alistair Krieg has a history of burning bridges. He was fired from both M.I.T. and Stanford for using their funding to conduct ethically challenged research." Chloe informed him

"Maybe Lex isn't all to blame." Clark said as Chloe finished her search.

"Oh, here it is, there are six Hongs in the Metropolis area." Chloe said.

"Can't we narrow it down?" Clark asked.

"Ok." She looks through their info. "One's a bioengineer." Chloe said, turning to him.

"That's our guy, I need to find quick, before Victor dies." Clark superspeeded away.

"And there goes." Chloe smiles.

"Hong's House*

Clark knocks on the door, but there's no answer. He walks in and looks around, then see's Dr. Hong die on the floor. Clark sighs, "Is he dead?" Lex asked from behind.

"Yep." Clark said.

"Who did this?" Lex wanted to know.

"I don't know, you tell me." Clark stared at Lex with anger.

"You actually think I did this?" Lex asked.

"Why else would you be here? Especially when you claim to not be involved with Cyntechnics." Clark said.

"After you told me what happened, I looked into the situation. Dr. Hong was trying to stop what happened to Victor, but obviously he failed." Lex explained.

"Did Alistair Krieg do this to him?" Clark wanted to know.

"I don't know, but I'll find out and you need to tell me where Victor is." Lex said.

"Victor's safe with me, but he's shot." Clark said.

"Bring him to me, I can help him." Lex told him.

"I don't want your help, I've seen you help people before." Clark said with resentment.

"Clark, I'm trying to help. Whatever problems we have, we need to put them aside to help Victor." Lex said sincerely as Clark looked at him thoughtfully.

[basketballstar23]

1st!!! what now playa's?!?!? off to read...:lol:...loved the update SVM!!! i liked how u kept the episode the same, but added some clana. great job!! PPMS!!!!

[superman_lives_on]

Prose still needs some polishing, but still good.

And at least Clark is trying to hold in his temper--I'm glad Lana can soothe him. But alas, Lex is already becoming the villain of the story--he can't be trusted any more.

PPMS!

[akuma]

Great job, Lex is still evil, but we have our Clana!! PPMS

[SVsleuth]

Yay for all episodes with Clana! :) PPMS!

[Nemu]

that was good... and I actually saw a few parts of that episode but more near the end... so far you are doing an excellent job!!

Cant wait to see what comes next...

PPMS :D

[maru11]

great update!!!!!!!!!!!
update soon!!!!!!!!

[SmallvilleMan]

I'll update late tonight to save you all from void. The REAL season 5 later tonight;) By the way, i didnt see void, don't care about it. I already know what happened. Lana went on crack, Clark got upset at himself for allowing this to happen, tried to save her and failed. Lex came to the rescue, she thanks lex and then Clark mopes around, because he's an idiot.

[Nemu]

well ill just wait for tonights episode of Smallville(here) instead of Smellville (as nicely named by SVSleuth ;)) that shows on tv...

[SmallvilleMan]

Cyborg, Part 4

*Lois's apartment*

Lana gets off the phone with Clark, sadly hanging up the phone. "What's wrong? Did he find him?" Victor asked.

"Yes." Lana replied.

"And....." Victor motioned with his hands.

"He's dead." Lana said, looking sadly at him.

"Great, my only chance and he's gone." Victor said angrily.

"No, it isn't, we'll find a way. Clark would never let you down, he'll do anything in his power to save you." Lana tried to reassure him.

"But I can't that chance." Victor got up and tried to leave, but Lana stepped in front of him.

"Victor, you can't leave, they're looking for you and there's no telling what they will do." Lana told him.

"And there's no telling how long I can stay alive. Lana, I'm dying and if i'm going to die, i'm going to find Katherine first. I need to tell her how I feel, I need to see her again." Victor pleaded.

"I can't let you leave, Victor that's the first place they'd look for you." Lana said.

"I know, but I have to go, despite the risk. If you knew you had one last chance to see the person you love, wouldn't you go?" Victor questioned her, Lana paused and moved out of his way.

*Metropolis*

Martha is waiting on the streets with a package, when a man approaches her. "Do you have the money?" He asked.

"Yes, but why are you doing this?" She asked him.

"Just...." Before the man could finish, a car pulled up and Lionel walked out.

"Martha!" He said, coming toward her.

"Lionel, what are you doing here?" She wanted to know.

"I thought you could use some help and I guess I was right." Lionel turned to the man and then back to Martha. "Why don't you wait in the car." He told Martha.

"But Lionel." Martha started to said before Lionel stopped her.

"Listen, I understand what's going here. I saw the packages, you can't give in to blackmail." Lionel firmly told her.

"There's a lot at risk." Martha warned him.

"There always is." Lionel replied.

"Lionel...." Martha began.

"Let me take care of this." Lionel said, Martha gave him a concerned look and then went to the car. Lionel then whispered something in the guys ear, he turned around wideyed and left.

*Katherine's place*

Victor walks in quietly, looking around, until he comes face to face with Doctor Krieg. "Hello Victor." He said coldly.

"Where is she?" Victor asked.

"She's safe, but she won't be if you don't come with me." The doctor threatened him.

"If you touch her, I'll kill you." Victor said staring dead into his eyes.

"She'll be fine as long as you cooperate. Now stick out your arm." Krieg instructed him as Victor reluctantley did and the doctor injected him with a drug. He quickly fell to the ground. Then Lex walked in. "He came just like you said." Krieg turned to Lex.

"The good ones always follow their heart." Lex smirked.

*Lois's apartment*

Clark superspeeds in and see's Lana sitting on the bed. "Where's Victor?" He asked confused.

"He left." Lana said as Clark looked shocked at her.

"What! He wasn't suppose to leave, what happened?" Clark wanted to know.

"Clark, he wanted to see Katherine. He couldn't die without seeing her." Lana explained.

"Lana, he's not going to die and that's the first place they would look for him." Clark replied.

"You can't tell me that if you were going to die and you had a chance to see me again, that wouldn't take it." Lana told him as Clark nodded.

"I'm sorry, you're right, I just want to help him." Clark said as Lana got up and took his hands in hers.

"Then go save him, they probably took him to the lab." Lana told him and he smiled at her, then superspeeded away.

*The Lab*

Victor groans as he opens his eyes and Lex is standing beside the table. "Who!" Victor said, looking toward Lex.

"Yep, me." Lex replied.

"You did this to me." Victor said with conviction in his voice.

"I did, frankly I thought you'd be a little more thankful." Lex said.

"Thankful for what? Being turned into a garbage disposal?" Victor said as Lex smirked at him.

"No, a chance to live again and to be something special." Lex says to him as the doctor informs Lex of something. "The doctor here is going to implant a chip that will erase all emotions." Lex informs him.

"No." Was all Victor could gasp.

"It's for the best, no more petty emotions to get in your way. They can only slow you down, trust me on that. Keep me informed on his situation." Lex says, before leaving. A couple of minutes later.

"Prep him for implant." Doctor Krieg says to the other doctor who leaves.

"Please don't do this." Victor pleaded.

"It's too late." The doctor said as he was about to plant the chip, when Clark superspeeds in, knowing the doctor throw and the wall.

"Victor!" Clark says.

"Right on time." Victor said with a sigh.

*The next day, Lex's mansion.*

Clark walks as Lex smiles from his desk. "Clark, I thought you'd be stopping by. Come to tell me how you helped Victor escape?" Lex asked. Clark ignores the question and puts a folder on Lex's desk.

"That's everything me and Chloe could find on the Machina project. Care to explain anything?" Clark asked as Lex looked it over.

"Nothing that I already don't know." Lex said, looking from the folder back to Clark.

"Right....." Clark rolled his eyes.

"I don't want to bother Victor anymore, in case that's what you came to ask me. He's been through enough." Lex said.

"Yeah, thanks to you." Clark replied harshly.

"I had nothing to do with what happened, I tried to help." Lex said.

"That's not what Victor said." Clark told him.

"Well, I tried to help, he must have misconstructed my intentions." Lex said.

"Seems to be a theme for people when it comes to you." Clark said, getting frustrated.

"What's wrong with trying to save someone's life Clark? I'd think someone who goes around being the hero, would be all for this." Lex said, folding his arms.

"No one should play God Lex. The end doesn't always justify the ends." Clark said and Lex nodded.

"Thanks for the lesson, you can let yourself out." Lex said, turned to his computer as Clark walked out.

*Kent house*

Martha is doing paperwork when Lionel walks in. "I hope i'm not interupting you." Lionel said, looking at her work.

"No." Martha said looking away from her work toward him.

"I just wanted to say that everything is taken care of." Lionel informed her.

"Thank you, but it wasn't nesscary to come to my rescue." Martha told him.

"I know, you're very capable of handling things for yourself. Just remember, it's okay to ask for help, because i'll always be there to give it." Lionel said and then walked out.

*Clark's loft*

Clark and Lana are standing hand in hand, looking out at the sunset, when Victor walks in. They turned to him. "Victor, how are you?" Clark asked.

"I'm fine." Victor said, walking toward them.

"I bet you're glad to have a fresh start." Lana said as Victor nodded.

"Yeah, I kind of am and it's all thanks to you two. Especially you Clark, I don't how to thank you." Victor said.

"You don't have to thank me." Clark told him as Lana smiled at Clark's modesty.

"You're special person Clark, you're going to help a lot of people." Victor told him.

"I can only hope." Clark smiled as did Victor, then they heard someone walk up the loft stairs.

"Victor?" A girl said, walking toward them, he hugged her immediately.

"Katherine?" Victor called out with joy as he hugged her again.

"What did they do to you?" She asked.

"It's a long story." Victor replied.

"I'd love to hear it." Katherine said as Victor smiled and they walked out. Clark and Lana smiled at each other.

"I'm glad everything worked out." Lana said as Clark wrapped his arm around her.

"So am I." Clark looked away for a second, Lana noticed this.

"What's wrong?" Lana asked, turning toward him.

"Being with Victor reminded me of my football days." Clark told her.

"Oh....." Lana said.

"Yeah, I just loved playing football so much, but I knew I couldn't continue to do it." Clark confessed.

"Because you're meant for much more important things than winning football games." Lana said.

"I know." Clark sighed, Lana put her hand on his cheek.

"And whatever that is, we're going to go through it together." Lana kiss him lightly on the lips and Clark smiled.

"Together?" Clark asked, kind of jokingly.

"Together, forever." Lana said and they kiss passionately as the sun setted.

Much better than the show's ending, from what I've heard. But your grammar and such still needs cleaning up. Terribly sorry--I just have a thing about keeping writing polished. :)

All I ask is that you try your best. If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything. :)
