[redraven]

This is my first fic so if it is horrible, don't be too hard on me, please!
________________________

This takes place after Mortal, at the Kent farm where Clark is sleeping in his room.

It was almost seven and Clark's eyes slowly lifted open. He rolled over to where he thought Lana was and found that she wasn't there.

"Lana?"

"Good morning, Clark." Lana said in front of the mirror.

"Hey." Clark told her, still rubbing his eyes,"Why are you wearing my flannel?"

"I couldn't find my shirt, I think you threw it out the window last night." Lana said, pointing out the open window.

"Oh, sorry about that, Lana."

"It's okay,Clark."

Clark put on his pants and was about to put on his shirt when Lana pulled it out of his hands and tossed it onto the desk chair. She crept closer to him and sat on his lap.

"Lana, n-not that I don't love this, because I do, but I really need to get you out of here."

"In five minutes, pleeeeeeaaase?" Lana pleaded.

"Okay." Clark smiled and kissed her gently, the kiss becoming more passionate by the second. Clark squeezed her flannel-covered waist, while she rubbed his bare back. They continued like this until...

"CLARK!"

Clark abruptly stopped kissing Lana and stood up causing her to fall on the floor. Clark rushed over to her and whispered, "Sorry", to her. He turned to face Jonathan standing in the doorway. "I can explain."

"I'm sure you can, son. MARTHA!!" Jonathan yelled.

"Oh, great, here it comes. Lana, there is still time for you to get out of here through the window. You could even get your shirt while your out there. Clark suggested.

"Clark, I think I'll take my chances, here feeling the wrath of your mom." Lana said, smiling. She gripped Clark's arm tighter and snuck in a quick kiss before Martha came in.

Martha couldn't help but crack a smile as she saw them together. She thought to herself, "Clark and Lana look great together. At least they can live secret free." Her thoughts were interrupted.

"Martha? Would you like to say anything to our son?" Jon asked.

She smiled again. Clark noticed her expression and grinned. She realized this was supposed to be a tense moment and tried to act angry. She failed, terribly.

Jonathan saw Clark grinning. "Clark what are you smiling about? Are you happy about breaking the rules of MY house?"

"Excuse me, Jonathan, but it is my house, too." Martha stated.

"Honey, I was trying to make a point."

"Which was?" Clark asked, showing off for Lana.

"Clark, the point was you don't break the rules of my-this house under any circumstances!"

"Dad, if I have to follow these rules, than you should too... because I heard you guys the other night and..." Clark smirked.

Martha's jaw dropped as her face turned beet-red. Jonathan looked over at Martha, then at the floor.

"Clark, we WILL continue our discussion later. Lana you might not want to be here for that." Jonathan sternly stated as he walked out of the room.

"I guess that is my cue. Bye, Clark."

"Bye, Lana." Clark said before he grabbed on to her shoulder and tugged her in for a loving kiss before she headed out the door.

[Nemu]

PPMS :D

[linn]

[SpeedyKate91]

[super12]

PPMS!

[nellie2]

lol great update. can't wait for more!

[SVsleuth]

I can just hear Jonathan - "Yes, but WE are married - YOU are NOT! It makesa big difference." PPMS!

[redraven]

Clark gathered his thoughts and walked downstairs to confront his parents.

"Hi, mom, dad."

"Clark, do you have anything to say about this situation?" Jonathan asked.

"Actually, I do. I don't think Lana and I should be punished for... it.

"Honey, please tell me you were safe." Martha requested.

"Uh... yeah mom." Clark answered.

"Clark, you do realize the difference in the situation right? You're mother and I are married. So if you want to do those kind of things then marry Lana." Jonathan said.

"Jonathan!" Martha screeched.

"What? Oh right, what I was trying to say is, you have to make a commitment before you have sex, like we did."Jonathan told Clark.

"For one thing, too much information, but I guess I am already scarred for life for hearing you two guys the other night. Now, second, I would like to marry Lana because I love her but you guys probobly think I am too young." Clark stated.

Martha once again blushed before continueing,"Clark, it is your choice whether to marry her or not, just make sure you are ready, sweetheart."Martha said.

"Clark, just promise us no more late nights with Lana."Jonathan asked.

"Okay. I promise." Clark told them with his fingers crossed, mumbling "not" at the end.

"Go do your chores, son." Jonathan pointed out the door.

Clark walked outside towards the barn. Before he was there he felt two hands slide around his waist. "Hey,Clark. Are you in deep sh-"

"Not, really Lana." He said smiling as he kissed her gently. "I would love to keep kissing you but my parents are probobly watching right now. I need to do my chores."Clark said hesitently.

"Umm. Okay. Call me after you're done." Lana told him rolling her eyes.

"Lana-"

"Clark...it's okay."

"Lana I will make it up for you. I'll take you out tonight."

"Okay. When?"Lana asked.

"Be ready by seven." Clark said smiling.

"I will." Lana was leaving but ran back up to him with an extremely long, passionate kiss before leaving for the Talon.

Clark continued with his chores while Lana was in her room picking out something to wear even though it was only noon. She was finished around two which was when someone was knocking on her door. She told them to come in, while she was sitting on her bed.

It was Lex. "Hey, Lana, where were you, I called you before."

"Yeah, Lex I realize that." Lana said as she checked her cellphone seeing 36 messages from Lex in the past few hours."I was at Clark's not that it is any of your business where I was."

"You are still with Clark? Wow, puppy love lasts longer than I thought"Lex told her looking around. "You deserve better Lana. You deserve someone that is completely honest."

"Get out."

"What? Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry Lana but the truth hurts, you are just mad because Clark STILL didn't tell you any of his secrets."

"Lex, I don't need this. GET OUT!"

"Fine by me. I guess you don't want to know more about that spaceship considering the way you are acting to meright now." Lex crept up to her and put his hands on her shoulders."Lana, I am honest with you about the spaceships, and I am doing that because I care about you. I love you." Lex leaned in to kiss her when Lana slapped him. Lana shoved him and kneed him in the stomache.

"Don't even think about trying to destroy my relationship. I don't love you Lex, I don't know how anyone could."

Conviently, Clark walked through the door and saw Lex bending over holding his stomache and Lana's angry expression. "Lana did he hurt you?"

"No. Just the opposite Clark, but he did try to kiss me." Lana said shuddering at the thought.

Clark angrily went over to him and punched him in the face, making his nose bleed.

"Lex, get the hell out of here and don't come back unless you want a baseball bat to your head. And yeah, that is a threat." Clark warned him.

"Fine, Clark. I will go." He limped out as Clark and Lana embraced.

____________________

Clark and Lana pulled away from the embrace, Clark asked her, "Lana, what did Lex say to you?"

"He said stuff about our relationship being "puppy love" and that I deserve someone better, someone that is completely honest." She paused and looked at Clark. She saw worry in his eyes. "Clark do you want me to keep going?"

"Uh...yeah."Clark answered.

"Lex said...he said that he cared about me. He said that he loved me."

"Oh. He said that."

"It doesn't make any difference that he said that to me, other than making him seem creepier."

"Seem?"

"Okay, he IS way more creepy than before, happy now?"Lana asked, smiling.

"Yes, much better." Clark replied as he chuckled.

"Seriously,though. You looked worried earlier. You know I love you and I won't EVER let Lex come in between us."Lana said taking Clark's hands in hers.

"Is that why you've been going over to Lex's lately?" Clark asked her, pulling his hands away from hers.

"Clark listen I-"

"Or are you just studying "astronomy" with him?"

"We all have our secrets, Clark. I just didn't want you to get worked up over nothing."

"Yeah. We all have our secrets."Clark muttered to himself.

"What?" Lana questioned.

"Nothing. I just don't want to talk about Lex right now." Clark told her putting his hands in his pockets.

"I don't either. So... is there a reason you came over here?"

"Yeah, there was. I didn't think I could wait until seven to take you out."Clark said, pulling his hands out of his pockets, smiling.

"I didn't think I could wait either." Lana glanced over at a clock. "It is half past two now."

"Right. I was thinking of taking you out at four instead."

"Casual or formal?"

"Casual."

"Okay, Clark see you at four." She said leaning in for a kiss which Clark gladly accepted. He walked out the door while Lana ran to the bathroom to get ready.

[Nemu]

All right here is an update!

CHAPTER 5
____________________
Lana spent the next hour and a half getting ready for the date. Clark did his chores until 3 o'clock and bought flowers. Then he went back to the farm. Once Clark got there it was already 3:30. "Mom you think Lana will like the restaurant?" Clark asked her laying the flowers down.

"It is pretty expensive, Clark.” Martha answered looking at an ad of the restaurant. “Are you sure you have enough money for it?"

"Um, yeah I do. We need reservations don't we?"

"You didn't make them?"

Clark smacked his forehead. “No. I was thinking of a more casual place where we wouldn't need them. I kinda changed my mind at last minute."

“Men.” Martha sighed.

"I'm not THAT bad, mom."

"Did you tell Lana about her change in plans?” Martha paused.” She might not have something to wear if you told her casual! You should tell her about the change in plans, than make reservations so she will have time to get ready!"

"Women." Clark rolled his eyes. "I'll call her than make reservations, okay?"

"Yes, okay. Sweetheart you are not very good at this."

"Mom!"

"Okay, okay. Sorry." Martha told him.

Clark picked up the phone and dialed Lana's number. "Lana?"

"Hi, Clark is something wrong, it is almost four."

"Yeah...about that. Um..."

"Don't tell me your canceling it! I spent half the day getting ready!"

"I'm not, I am delaying it."

"Why?"

"Because you'll probably need more time to get ready because it is... fancy." Clark waited for her reaction.

"WHAT?!"

Clark dropped the phone, than quickly picked it back up. "Lana? Is it that bad?"

"No." Lana replied calmly.

"So what was the deafening scream for?"

"Because now I will need another three hours to get ready."

"Good, because seven was the original time I planned for anyway. I will see you at seven, then?"

"......................"

"Wow. That's nice she hung up on me." Clark dialed the new restaurant's number to make reservations.

"Hello?"

"Hi, my name is Clark Kent and I'd like to make a reservation for two."

"What time, Mr. Kent?"

"Seven o'clock, please."

"Okay, sir we will have your table ready by then."

"Thank, you"

He hung up the phone and ran upstairs to take a shower. Half an hour later he was ready. Clark was wearing a white collared shirt with a black jacket and matching pants. He watched television until 5:00 and went inside the house to get the flowers for Lana. He drove to the Talon. He got there at 5:30. Clark knocked on the door with the flowers around his back.

Lana answered the door in a stunning black dress. Clark's mouth dropped open.

"Uhhhhh...." Was all Clark managed to get out.

"Thank you, Clark, you don't look so bad yourself." She said before kissing him on the cheek.

"Uhhhhh...thanks, Lana." He said finally snapping out of his trance. "Oh, and I bought these for you." He showed her the gorgeous roses he bought her with a wide grin.

"They're beautiful." She kissed him again, more passionately this time.

Clark reluctantly stopped, "Lana we will never get there if we don't stop."

"Okay, fine. I'm going to make sure we continue this later." She said with a smirk. She laid the flowers down in her room and they quickly went off to the restaurant.

"So...Clark. Where are we going?"

"A new restaurant in Metropolis." Clark answered.

Clark put his arm around her and she occasionally kissed him until they got there. Once they were at their destination Clark practically supersped to her side and opened the door for her and helping her out.

"Clark, you are such a gentleman, and for that you deserve a kiss." Lana kissed him gently.

Clark stepped away and opened his arm enough for hers to slide right through as they walked into the restaurant.

"Wow, Clark. This place is really nice." Lana said looking around the restaurant.

"I know that is why I picked it out."

Clark walked up to a man that made his reservation and seated them to a very nice candle lit table for two.

"Your waiter will be here to serve you in a moment." The man said as he walked away.

Lana picked up her menu while Clark just stared at her. She tilted her menu downward only to see Clark looking at her.

"Clark? Is there something on my face?” Lana asked, almost panicking.

"No." He took her hand in his.

"Thank god." Lana said sighing. She smiled as she felt his smooth hand rub against hers.
They stared into each others eyes until the waiter came and interrupted them.

"What would you two like to drink? May I suggest our fine red wine, sir?"

"No, thank you. I'll just have some water." Clark said taking his hand away from Lana's.

"And for you miss?"

"Umm. I'll have some water too."

The waiter squinted his eyes at them and walked away.

"Not too much soda on this menu is there?" Lana asked.

"Sorry about that, Lana."

"It is okay. The food should make up for it there is a lot of good choices on-" She stopped when she looked at the outrageous prices.

"Lana?"

"Clark, this food is a lot of money and I don't want-"

"Lana, don't worry about that. I just want you to have a good time tonight. And besides, almost everything in Metropolis is expensive. You deserve it, Lana." Clark smiled at her.

Lana once again stared into his eyes deeply. And again, the waiter came as soon as they did.

"Here are your...waters. Are you two ready to order?"

"We could use five more minutes."

"Of, course." The waiter put on a fake smile as he walked away.

"What a rude waiter." Lana said.

"I know." Clark agreed.

"Excuse me, Clark I have to go to the restroom."

"Okay." Clark told her as he looked back down at his menu. The most inexpensive thing on the menu was a New York Strip steak. It was $46. Clark laid his menu down and looked around when he saw a familiar figure staring blankly at something. Clark looked from the figure to where he was staring and found that he was staring at Lana. Clark instantly got angry and got up from the table. He went over to the person, kneeling down beside them.

"Lex, what the hell are you doing here?" Clark asked angrily.

[*~KrYpToN619~*]

I hope Clark's kicks Lex's......great update, PPMS!

[SVsleuth]

Uh oh! Lex is there! I wonder if it is a true coimcidence, or if Lex is stalking Lana. And that stupid waiter keeps interrupting their googly eyed stares - LOL! PPMS!

[nellie2]

great update! PPMASAP!

[redraven]

Once again I appreciate all the comments considering this is my first fic so I could use some constructive criticism, compliments are good too.

Chapter 5 continued

“What do you think I’m doing here, Clark?” Lex asked while obnoxiously slurping his wine.

“Hmmm, I don’t know Lex maybe you’re stalking us, or better yet maybe you’re stalking Lana.”

“What? A man can’t get something to eat? This is the newest restaurant in Metropolis I had to come. Come to think of it this place is pretty expensive, Clark. Is your idea of a perfect date having a nice meal and than running out forcing Lana to wash dishes for the next three years?” Lex took another loud sip of wine. “Lana can do better.” Lex muttered.

“Actually, Lex I AM paying for this.” Clark shouted. “And you think that Lana can do better? Maybe she can, but if you think the definition of “better” is YOU, than you have officially lost your mind Lex!”

“Clark, Clark, calm down. You are making a scene.” Lex said as he took yet another swig of wine.

“In case you haven’t noticed, people are only looking over here to see their reflection, nice wax, Lex.”

“Ooooo. Hit me where it hurts Clark.” Lex said.

“I know I have horrible comebacks when I’m angry.” Clark looked over his shoulder and saw Lana coming out of the restroom. Clark took a step closer to Lex and exhaled a breath on his head and shined it with his sleeve. “It looks like your stylist missed a spot.” Clark walked back over to his table and sat down. Lex smacked his lips and smirked.

“Hey, Clark sorry I took so long.”

“It’s okay, I had something to occupy my time.” Clark said sharply, glancing over to Lex.

“Is something wrong, Clark?” Lana asked.

“Huh? No, of course not.” Clark answered blankly.

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah, uh are you ready to order?” Asked Clark trying to avoid talking about Lex.

“Actually I am.” Lana laid the menu down.

After a few minutes of silence Clark took Lana’s hands in his. “I love you, Lana.”

“I love you too, Clark.”

They looked into each other’s eyes and the waiter, for the third time came and interrupted them.

“May I take your-” The waiter started.

Clark looked at the waiter’s tag and it said, Chris. “Okay, Chris, you really need to stop that! You are annoying the hell out of me! I saw you standing over there doing nothing! You know what? Go away we’ll call you over when we need you.

The waiter continued to stand there. “BYE.” Clark told him

“Okay, fine.” The waiter walked away smiling.

“Ummm. Clark? We need him now.” Lana said.

“Oh. Sorry I just got a little irritated.” Clark said apologetically.

“It’s okay maybe we should call him over, now.”

“Sure. Waiter!” Clark waved his hand at him and the waiter just rolled his eyes.

“WAITER!” Clark shouted. He weakly smiled at Lana excusing himself from the table, getting even angrier. He walked up to Chris who was leaning against a wall with crossed arms. Clark grabbed him by his collar; “YOU are ruining this night for me! If you don’t get over to my table and take our orders you’ll wish you never crossed my path tonight! Oh yeah, and after you do that leave us the hell alone!” Clark let him go and started walking back to his table. Clark brushed himself off. He took a deep breath, realizing he was acting like he was when he was on red-k. He sat back down at the table.

He sighed again. “Lana, I’m sorry I am acting like this. I just want…”

“Clark it’s okay.” Lana rubbed his hand and forearm.

The waiter cautiously went up to them, “May I take your orders?”

Lana stopped and looked toward Chris, “Yes, I will take the Caesar Salad with Italian dressing, please.”

“Okay, and for you, sir?” The waiter asked.

“I will have the New York Strip with the salad.”

“Alright, thank you.” Chris walked away to the kitchen.

Clark and Lana were talking about all kinds of things when their food arrived. They quickly ate their food and continued to talk.

“So, Lana do you want dessert?” Clark asked.

“I do.” She smiled.

“What do you want?”

“Your choice.”

“Okay…” Clark stared down at the menu.

Lana leaned in and tilted his chin up, kissing him. They continued that way until they attracted a small crowd.

Clark and Lana slowly broke apart noticing everyone around them. They all walked away.

“You are THAT good Lana.”

“I am flattered but you are the one that tastes like chocolate.” Lana said slowly licking her lips.

“Well…if that is what you like than we could go home and…”

Lana playfully hit him on his shoulder.

“Geez, Lana I was just joking.” Clark said, grinning.

“Uh, huh, sure you were, Clark.”

Clark let out his famous Kent smile, when he looked over to where Lex was sitting. Lex was STILL there staring at them.

Clark looked back at Lana, “So, are you ready to go?” Clark asked stretching.

“Yes, I am.”

They interlaced their fingers and walked out the door to the truck. Clark ran over to the passenger side of the truck and opened it dramatically, “Here you go…princess.” Clark grinned.
Lana scoffed and got in. They came to a red light in Metropolis that seemed to last forever.

“I’m going to run this red light, it’s taking too long.” Clark sighed.

“I know how to pass the time.” Lana smiled seductively and leaned in closer to Clark and kissed him lovingly for the next 8 minutes until the sounds of numerous car horns started going off.

“GO!!!” Screamed the guy in the car behind them.

Clark smiled at Lana, which in return she smiled back. Clark, than wiped his bottom lip with his thumb. He stepped on the gas and continued home.

[nellie2]

great update! very funny! hope to see more soon!

[*~KrYpToN619~*]

[linn]

hahahahahahhahaha.....that was so funny....ppms!!!

[redraven]

im working on it right now, i should have it up by 11.

Here is a real short update, enjoy!


Clark got to the Talon at 11. Clark was about to leave when Lana stopped him.

“Clark, I need help with something, in my apartment.”

“Sure, okay.”

They walked up to the door and Clark opened it letting Lana in.

“So, what do you need help with?” Clark asked looking around.

“Nothing.”

“What-“ Clark started.

Lana pushed him on over to the bed. “I said I would continue this later didn’t I?”

“Yeah, you did.” Clark lay down with Lana over top of him. They were kissing passionately. Lana started to lift up his shirt when Clark stopped her. “Lana, I can’t, I really need to get home.”

Lana got off of him, somewhat disappointed. “Okay, so I will see you tomorrow?”

“Of course.” Clark said kissing her one more time, before looking at the clock, it said twelve. “We there for that long?”

“Yes…”

“Bye, Lana.” Clark told her kissing her gently.

He drove home and got there fifteen minutes later. He went up to the house and opened the door slowly. He didn’t see his parents so he continued up the stairs when he tripped on the last step and fell forward. Then he heard the master bedroom door crack open.

“Clark?” Jonathan asked rubbing his eyes. “Late night, son?”

“Yea, uh, the ride from Metropolis took longer than we thought.” Clark answered rubbing his shin.

“Okay, just get to bed.” Jonathan walked back into his room and shut the door.

Clark limped to his. He fell onto his bed and fell asleep on the spot.


The sun’s rays have just started to illuminate Clark’s room when his alarm suddenly went off extremely loud. Clark couldn’t turn it off and it was hurting his ears so he threw it out the window. By the time the alarm hit the ground he realized that it was his cell phone alarm on the highest volume. He pressed a button and it went off. Clark smacked his forehead for not thinking. “Well, there goes another thirty bucks.” Clark muttered to himself. He changed his clothes and went downstairs and saw how early it was, and his parents shouldn’t be up until seven.

Clark walked out to the loft to relax. He slowly went up the stairs and collapsed on the couch.

Clark started to dream.
**************
He burst in through Lex’s office to yet again confront him when he saw him and Lana kissing wildly.
“Lana!”
“Oh, I’m sorry Clark I thought I told you that I need a real man.” She went back to kissing Lex. When they stopped Lex looked at Clark and said, “Didn’t I tell you?”
“Tell me what?” Clark asked curling his hand into a fist on the verge of tears.
“I’m actually honest with Lana. She wants a real man that’s honest with her and tells her the truth about everything. I even helped her out with murder.”
“What?! Murder?” Clark screamed.
“That doesn't even matter, Clark. I love Lex.”
"I love you, I AM honest with you!"

He snapped out of his dream and ran to his bathroom. He looked into the mirror and saw that he has been crying and his face was red. Clark splashed some water on his face and tried to calm down. “It was JUST a dream.” Clark whispered to himself. “Or nightmare…Lana didn't kill anyone and she doesn't love Lex.”

“Of course she doesn’t, sweetheart.”

“Mom? What-what are you doing up?”

“It is eight o’clock, Clark.”

“Right…”

“Why would you think Lana loves Lex?” Martha shuddered at the thought.

“Just a dream, mom don’t worry about me I am fine.” Clark reassured her.

They all sat down at the table and ate breakfast.


Sorry about the cheesy dream sequence people, I will have a better post later.

CHAPTER 6 (Pt. 1 of 3)

Jonathan, Martha, and Clark ate their breakfast in silence. Clark finished and put his dishes in the sink. He ran upstairs to change. Once he was done with that, he walked downstairs.

“Clark, sweetheart Jonathan and I have to help out at another barn raising.” Martha told him while washing the dishes. “Are you coming?”

“Uh, sure, mom. But I want to finish some of my chores here.”

“Okay, well come when you can, honey.”

“Alright, mom, bye.” Clark said before he walked out the door.

Clark worked on some of his chores until he saw his parents out of sight. Soon after that, he called Lana on his cell.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Lana, it’s me.”

“Oh, hi Clark. What’s going on?”

“Nothing, really. It’s just that my parents are gone and I was wondering of you wanted to come over and do something…”

“I would, but I-I have to do some work at the Talon. You know, getting ready for the re-opening.”

“Oh. Well I could come over and see you-“ Clark suggested.

“No! I mean, y-you should stay there, because I will be really busy and stuff.” Lana replied sharply.

“Lana, is something wrong?” Clark asked.

“I’m fine really. I will come to see you when I’m done, okay? (click)”

“I love you, too…” Clark put his cell phone in his pocket and got in his truck, heading for the Talon.

[redraven]

CHAPTER 6 (Pt. 2 of 3) Enjoy!

Clark arrived at the Talon. He walked in through the door, seeing a blonde- haired girl cleaning the tables.

“Excuse me, have you seen Lana?”

“Yeah, about an hour ago, why?”

“I’m her boyfriend, did she say where she went?”

“I heard her say something about going over to a friend’s house, that is all.”

“Okay, thanks.” Clark said. He walked quickly out the door into his truck. He picked up and opened his cell and called Chloe.

“Chloe, it’s me.”

“Hi, Clark. What do you need, I’m pretty busy.”

“Is Lana over there?”

“No, haven’t seen her all day.”

“Ok. (click).”

Clark didn’t wait for Chloe’s response; he just angrily rushed to Lex’s. Clark mysteriously busted into his office only to see Lex sitting by his desk looking at his laptop.

“Where is Lana, Lex?” Clark questioned him.

“What are you talking about, Clark?”

“Just tell me where she is.” Clark commanded.

“Clark I haven’t seen her in a few days, I don’t know where she is.” Lex lied.

“WHERE IS SHE?!” Clark’s face turned red, as he got closer to Lex’s face.

“I DON’T KNOW!” Lex responded.

“You know where she is, Lex. I’m not joking around! Tell me.”

“I can see that, Clark.” Lex rubbed his head.

“I don’t need to see my future right now, Lex. But, what I do need is for you to tell me where Lana is.” Clark demanded.

“As you can see, Clark, we are not getting anywhere with this conversation. You can let yourself out.” Lex leaned against the front of his desk.

“Listen, I know she came to see you. WHAT DID SHE SEE YOU ABOUT?!”

“Clark, I admit it. She was here, and for what? I won’t tell you, I’ll leave that up to her.”

“You better stay the hell away from her, Lex.”

“Once again, I will leave that up to her. If you are honest with her than she will have no problem being honest with you.”

Clark went up to him, so that they were face to face. “I’m not giving you another warning, Lex.”

“I won’t need one. I won’t go near her.” Lex smirked. “But I won’t turn her away if she comes to me… like she always does.”

“What the hell is that supposed to mean?” Clark snarled.

“Ask her.” Lex picked up an apple and began to eat it.

Clark went up to him and smacked the apple out of his hand and shoved him against the desk, causing some items to fall off.

“Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go see MY girlfriend.” Clark exclaimed.

“She won’t be for long…” Lex murmured.

Clark heard every word, even without his super hearing. “You’re right, Lex. She won’t be my girlfriend for long… she will be my fiancé.” And with that comment, Clark walked out of the mansion, leaving Lex dumbfounded and highly irritated.

(I’m sorry but I had to stretch this out into 3 parts.)

[redraven]

CHAPTER 6 (Pt. 3 of 3)

Clark burst through Lex's office doors and jogged out to his truck. He decided to drive back to the farm. He arrived and slumped out of the seat. He walked quickly over to his loft, slowing down when he got close to the entrance. He looked down as he went, deep in thought about his “conversation” with Lex, among other things. Clark collapsed onto the couch putting his arm over his fore head, unaware of a figure approaching him.

“Clark?” Lana asked in a sweet voice.

“Huh?” He asked getting up.

“I’m not bothering you, am I?”

“Never.” Clark said, with a crooked smile.

Lana sat down next to him. “Clark, are you okay? You seem tense.”

“I’m fine.” Clark replied, “It’s just-" Clark paused.

“Just what?” Lana asked putting her hand on his shoulder.

“I uh- I have a lot on my mind, right now.” Clark answered thinking about her and Lex, but also thinking about his secret, and his planned proposal.

“Do you want to talk about it?” Lana asked already knowing the answer to be “no”.

“Not at the moment. Still want to think things through before I spill… talk to anyone about it.”

Lana was surprised that it wasn’t a flat out no. “Well, I guess I will leave you to think. Call me when you want to talk.” Lana told him before kneeling down and tilting his chin to face her, “You can trust me.”

“I know.” Clark said giving her a sincere smile.

Lana started to walk away before Clark said, “Lana, I love you.”

“I love you, too, Clark. Always.” She walked back over to him and gave him a tender, kiss that would’ve lasted forever if Lana didn’t have to pull away to gasp for air. Lana looked at Clark, with his eyes still closed. “Clark? What are you doing?” Lana asked wiping of some of the smeared lipstick off of her top lip.

Clark lifted one eye open, starting to loosen up a little bit, “I was…err…hoping for more.” Clark told her truthfully.

“Are you serious? I can barely breathe.” Lana said, chuckling.

“How do you think I feel every time I see you?” Clark commented, twiddling his thumbs.

Lana smiled and rubbed his cheek with her hand, “That is sweet, Clark.” She told him as she leaned in for another breath taking, lingering kiss.

This time, even more lipstick was smeared around her lips. “Wow!” Clark exclaimed wiping off the bottom end of his wet, lip.

“Yeah, wow.” Lana smiled. “I should be going.” Lana’s smile faded as she turned to walk out.

“Bye, Lana.” Clark said as his smile also faded.

“Bye, Clark.”

Lana walked out leaving Clark to once again reflect on things he will have to deal with soon. For the next two hours Clark paced around, worked on his chores, and sat down and thought of possible outcomes for decisions that have yet to come. When the sunset finally came by, Clark of course watched it thinking about everything, when he decided to call Chloe.

“Hi, Chloe, it’s me again.”

“Hey, Clark, did you find, Lana?”

“Yeah, I did. Can you come over here? I have some stuff I want to talk about with you.”

“I will come over, is it urgent?”

“Not exactly, can you just try to get here soon?”

“I’ll get over there, ASAP, Clark.” Chloe replied.

“Thanks, bye.”

“Bye.”

Clark laid his phone down as he dropped right back down on the couch. Just the thought of him not being able to see Lana’s beautiful face every day, the thought of never sharing any more literally breath taking kisses with her, and the thought of just being with any one other than her made him want to just run over to Lana and telling her everything. Clark’s mind, once again flooded with images of her running away terrified of him, and images of her crying about the death of her parents that he felt was his fault. She could even be angry for him telling Chloe and Pete first and not even give him a chance to explain. Clark kept weighing whether the pain of him losing her over a secret that could hurt her is worth the risk of maybe keeping their relationship and being with her but having her risk her life protecting it. He might even be able to make her his fiancé if he tells her.

Clark continued being entranced in his ocean of thought until Chloe knocked on the wooden railing above the stairs, “Clark? Are you awake?”

“I’m awake, I was just waiting for you to get here.” Clark told her stretching.

“Okay…so… what do you want to talk about?”

Clark patted the spot on the couch next to him. “It’s a couple different things, actually. The first thing being-“ Clark inhaled a breath deeply. “The first thing being about Lana and-“

“Who would’ve thought?” Chloe remarked.

“Yes it IS about Lana, and if you don’t want to listen than I won’t continue.”

“I’m sorry, really. Continue.”

“Okay, the first thing is about Lana and Lex.”

“Where does Lex fit into this?”

Clark squinted at Chloe, “Hmm…Chloe I don’t know maybe I was getting to that.”

“Sorry, shutting up.”

“Okay, so I was on a date with Lana yesterday and Lex was there. He kept looking at Lana every time I glanced over at him. Oh yea, and this morning when I asked you if Lana was there, she told me she was at the Talon… but she lied. It turns out she was at Lex’s; I will make sure I find out why. And that is pretty much the first part.”

“You want me to do some snooping?” Chloe asked.

“Nah. At least not right now.” Clark answered.

“You want me to go on with the next part?”

Chloe nodded her yes.

“Okay, here goes. When I confronted Lex earlier today-“

“Did you hit him?!” Chloe asked enthusiastically.

“No, Chloe.” Clark began, grinning, “Kinda’ wish I did though. All I did was knock his apple to the floor and shove him against his desk.”

“At least you did something. So what else happened?”

“I- when I was walking out towards the door, I told him I was going to see Lana, and said I said it pretty much rubbing it in his face, that she is my girlfriend.”

Chloe rolled her eyes. Then, Clark imitated her and rolled his.

“Anyway… he said that she wouldn’t be my girlfriend for long and I agreed with him.”

Chloe looked at him wide-eyed, “Why, are you gonna’ break it off?”

“No.”

“Than why? Did she hint about breaking it off with you?”

“No. I said she wouldn’t be my girlfriend because she would be my wife…or something like that.” He looked at Chloe for her reaction.

“Uhhhh… wha-what did Lex say?” Chloe asked, her eyes still wide.

“I didn’t bother to listen. I walked out shoving any guard that tried to grab me out of my way.” Clark said proudly.

“Wow. What is the next thing about, Clark?” Chloe questioned him, her eyes slowly shrinking back to normal size.

“It is about telling Lana my secret.”

“Oh.” Was simply all Chloe said.

“I just don’t want to lose her, but if some psycho like Lex is stalking her… then the burden of protecting my secret might be too much for her. I don’t want her to get hurt.” Clark looked down at the floor.

“Clark, either way you are hurting her.”

Clark looked up at Chloe and turned his body towards her.

“If you don’t tell her, than she will be hurt emotionally because she loves you and can’t take the fact that you don’t trust her.”

“It’s not that I don’t trust her-“ Clark began, than he sighed.

“I know, that Clark, but she doesn’t. If you do tell her, you will have to tell her to be one million times more careful than before… especially around Lex.”

“Maybe… but what if she doesn’t take it well?” Clark asked, his eyes turning glossy.

“If she loves you, like we all know she does… she would be happy with the fact that you told her. She would still love you for the kind, sweet, self-less, Clark we all know and love. I understood, Pete understood, and don’t you think that you owe it to the love of your life to know what your friends and family know about you?” Chloe paused giving him time for his answer.

“Yes.” Clark looked back at Chloe to the floor. “Chloe…thanks.” He hugged her before she got up and left the farm.

Alright, here is the last chapter until Monday, hope you all like it!


CHAPTER 7

Clark fell asleep on the couch in his loft. He was soon waken up from his evening slumber when his mom came up to him and shook him by his shoulders.

Clark’s eyes opened slowly as he saw Martha, “Hi, mom.” Clark said swinging his feet to the floor.

“I thought you were going to come help us at the raising.” Martha told him.

“Oh! I forgot…sorry, mom.” Clark said, putting on his guilty face.

“Ok. Well, dinner’s ready so come on into the house.” Martha stated walking back over to the house.

Clark put his shoes back on and went over to the house. He saw what time it was-7 o’clock. He wanted to be at Lana’s by eight. Clark sat down and gulped down his food, quickly. He ran out the door, and then turned back.

“Mom, dad, I’m going out.”

“Sure, son…uh be home before midnight.”

“Ok, dad.” He smiled and ran back out the door into his truck. He drove to Lana’s apartment. Clark got there a couple minutes later.

He knocked on the door. He heard footsteps coming towards the door but it didn’t open, Clark started to get worried, “Lana! Are you there?”

The door opened, it was Lana.

“I was starting to get scared.” Clark said, letting out a nervous laugh.

“No, I’m fine. I was about to open the door when I heard something outside, my window. Sorry.”

“It’s fine.” Clark said.

“Come in.” Lana told him, opening the door wider.

Clark walked in and stood in the middle of the room, feeling very uncomfortable.

“Clark, are you okay?” Lana asked, with a confused look on her face.

“Oh, y-yeah, I’m fine.” Clark reassured her, his heart actually racing.

“Ok… here sit down.” Lana patted the rug by the fire. She sat down there, too.
Clark dropped down next to her, quite a few inches away. Clark watched the fire thinking about what he wanted to say. Lana noticed how far he was and scooted closer to him, and leaned against his chest. She felt his muscles tighten as she laid her head on his shoulder. Clark smiled and closed his eyes. He wrapped his left arm around her. She smiled and thought about when she was at his loft earlier.

“Clark?”

“Yea?” Clark asked, his eyes still closed.

“Um, about that thing you wanted to talk about when I was at your house earlier…”

Clark’s eyes shot open. “D-do we have to talk about that right now?”

Lana sighed. “I guess not.”

Clark stared hard at the fire, than looked back and Lana.“Lana, how do you feel?”

“About what?”

“Me…us…”

“I love you, Clark, you know that.” She paused.

There was a moment of silence. Lana finally continued, “And…about us, Clark. I-I just want to know the truth.”

Clark gulped. “Lana-“

“Clark, what are you here for?” Lana asked scooting further away from him.

“I was getting to that. I came here to talk about a lot of things… things I’ve been wanting to tell you.”

Lana’s eyes glistened. “Clark, since we are on the subject- there’s a couple of things I need to tell you too.”

Lana moved to the front of Clark. He took her hands in his, “Okay, here goes…”

To be continued…

[redraven]

CHAPTER 7 (continued…)

Lana moved in front of Clark and he took her hands in his.

“Okay… here goes…” Clark gulped and drew in a deep breath.

“Clark just be sure you’re ready to tell me whatever you are going to tell me.” Lana squeezed his hand tighter.

Clark smiled. “I am. You deserve to know.”

Lana smiled widely. She scooted back over beside Clark and he put his arm back around her. “This…won’t change anything between us, right?” Lana asked.

“I hope not.” Clark answered.

A worried look overcame Lana’s radiant face. “What do you mean, “you hope”?” Lana asked.

“I-I was never honest with you because I was afraid of what you’d think, Lana. The worst fear in my mind would be that you, the love of my life, would end up running away from me, terrified.”

“Why would I be? How long have you even lied to me for?” Lana’s expression of worry was now taken over by anger.

Clark noticed her change in tone, and now his heart was pounding from the one of the worries he had when he came over here.

“Lana, I was lying to you because-“ Clark started.

“I didn’t ask why.” Lana said harshly. “I asked for how long.”

Clark removed his arm and moved back in front of her, now sitting on the couch. Lana was still eyeing him closely.

“After giving you this answer- don’t be angry and give me a chance to explain. Promise me that.” Clark requested trying to stay calm and not run out.

Lana got up and sat on the couch across from him. “I promise.” Lana could have sworn she could hear Clark’s heart pounding.

Clark smiled nervously. “Uh…forever.”

Lana looked around the room, “Forever huh?” She turned her gaze back to Clark. “So am I the only one in the dark about whatever this big secret is?”

“No, Lana.” Clark looked into her eyes. “Do you want me to continue?”

“Sure, why not?” Lana crossed her arms.

“Listen, Lana. I don’t really want to talk about this with you if you’re going to act like this.”

“I’m going to keep acting like this until you tell me the truth- all of it.” Lana told him sternly.

Clark inhaled deeply, once more,“No. I can’t deal with this.” Clark got up to leave.

Lana’s expression changed, again to a sad expression. She quickly jumped in front of him before he got to the door. “Clark, if you leave… you’re not coming back through this door.” Lana’s eyes started to become glossy.

Clark’s eyes, too, became glossy. He opened his mouth to say something- but nothing came out.

“Clark…if you love me… you will tell me everything. You will trust me. If you don’t- than say the word and I will step out of the way and you can walk out on me… and on us…” Lana told him between sniffs.

A few tears trickled down Clark’s cheek. “I…”

“If you’re not going to tell me the truth… don’t say anything at all.”

Clark looked at her, than back down at his pocket, than at the door. Clark gazed into Lana’s tear-filled eyes one last time before whispering, “I’m sorry.” He walked out of the door, leaving Lana to slam the door and lean against it, tears pouring down her face.

Clark walked out, tears about to overflow in his eyes. He blinked rapidly, causing them to fall. He wiped them away on his arm. Clark opened his truck and slammed the door, checking his pockets for his keys. He had left them inside Lana’s.

Like I said, I’m sorry if it wasn’t what you expected, or as good as you wanted it to be. All feedback is appreciated.

well now he has to go back up there to get the keys... maybe that will be his chance to tell her...

you are mean... we need happy clana!!!


PPMS :D

[redraven]

ok, Brianna, he will in the next few updates... hey im not mean, there cant always be happy clana...but there will be!

[SVsleuth]

Well Lana scared him off by her attitude. He needs her to be open & understanding, not accusatory & demanding - so it's not only Clark's fault - Lana shares the blame - she didn't give him a chance - she wasn't sensitive to just hoew difficult this revelation is for him to tell.

OK, so I cant wait to see what happens when he goes back up for his keys. PPMS! & don't make us wait too long for the happy Clana. ;)

[redraven]

Must warn you, no happy Clana in this one, yet!

CHAPTER 8
____________


Clark paced around. “Maybe I should just walk home… or I could call Chloe.”
Clark shuffled around his pocket with a few items falling out but eventually found his phone.

He dialed Chloe’s number.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Chloe.”

“Hey, Clark! So did you tell her?!” Chloe asked him enthusiastically.

“No.”

Chloe heard his tone. “So…what happened?”

“I don’t really want to talk about it right now, can you come pick me up?”

Chloe was about to ask him some more questions, but held back because she knew Clark obviously didn’t want to be berated with them. “I’ll be over there in a sec, Clark.”

“Thanks, Chloe.” He put his phone back in his pocket.

*****MEANWHILE*****

Lana slid down to the floor. She brought her knees up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. “I… can’t believe… I-I just let that happen again.” Lana said to herself between sobs, when she heard a knock on the door. “Go away.”

“Lana? It’s me Chloe. Can I come in?”

“Go away!” Lana shouted.

“Lana, please, let me in.” Chloe requested.

“What do you want?”

“I need to get something that I left in your room.”

“What… is it?” Lana asked between sobs.

“Uh… I left my keys in there, Lana.”

“Ok. What do they look like?” Lana waited for Chloe’s response.

“Errr…I can’t explain them really well, but they are on the counter by your couch.”

“Oh, okay, Chloe hold on.” Lana went over to the couch, and than she paused. “Chloe? How did you get here if you left your keys here?”

“Uhhhh…they are my house keys, Lana.” Chloe laughed nervously.

“Okay.” Lana dragged her feet as she walked over to the keys. She absent-mindedly picked them up. She was almost to the door when she dropped them. She actually looked at them this time. She saw a picture of her and Clark in his loft. She was sitting on his lap in a white top and jeans while Clark was in a blue t-shirt. She let several tears drip down her cheeks before throwing the keys at the door.

Chloe jumped at the sound. “Lana?!”

“There are Clark’s keys for you, Chloe!”

“I’m sorry Lana but he needed them and was scared to come up here.”

“I wonder why, Chloe! It's because of all his secrets and lies!”

“Lana, this is between you and Clark.” Chloe said.

“I’m surprised the investigative reporter isn’t diving into this one! The secrets of Clark Kent!”

“Lana! If you’d just appreciate what you have with him and the love you share you wouldn’t be so devastated just because he’s keeping a couple secrets from you!”

“I just wanted him to trust me Chloe! And to let you know- he is the one that walked out on me! HE, is the one that walked out on us! So obviously, Chloe, this isn’t just a couple of secrets!” Lana screamed. “It’s bigger than that!”

“Maybe! If you would just give him more time, maybe he would tell you!” Chloe reasoned. "Stop blaming him for everything, Lana, this isn't all his fault. You need to try and understand!"

“Why are you sticking up for him, Chloe?! I know you want…” Lana paused.

Chloe slowly went up to the door, “Lana?” Lana came over and opened the door.

“Chloe…” Lana inhaled, deeply. “You know…”

“W-wh-what?” Chloe stuttered.

“You know… that’s why… you are sticking up for him, like this.” Lana’s eyes widened. “Tell me.”

“Lana, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Chloe told her.

“If you are my friend, tell me.”

“Lana I am your friend, but I don’t know anything.”

Lana smirked, than let her eyes swell up with salty tears. “Fine.” Lana shut the door. A few seconds later she cracked it open, throwing out the keys hitting Clark in the face at the bottom of the stairs.

“OWW!!” Clark screamed, falling to his knees, on the floor.

“Clark!” Chloe ran down the stairs as fast as she could kneeling down beside Clark.

Lana peeked back out and saw Clark. She than put her hand up to her mouth, “Oh my god.” Was all she could mutter. She managed to slide out of the door and stop at the top of the stairs.

Clark held his hand over his eye, and stood up. He quickly noticed her at the top of the stairs and let one tear drip down out of his right eye. He was about to walk up the stairs when Lana when back into her apartment.

Chloe turned back to Clark. “Clark we should go.”

“Yeah, so I can get some ice.” Clark agreed still holding his eye.

They walked back outside to Chloe’s car.

“Oh! I forgot the keys inside!” Clark left the car to get them.

He walked inside to get the keys, when he saw Lana coming down the stairs. She didn’t pay any attention to him. Clark went over to the keys and picked them up as he heard Lana’s sobs while she was making an espresso.

Clark practically tiptoed over to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She brushed it off. He stood there and waited for her to finish. Lana was done, soon after that, and walked past him when he stopped her. “Lana”, Clark started.

“Don’t. You walked out on us, which told me you didn’t want to talk through it. You didn’t trust me enough to tell me.” She started to walk away, “But yet, you trusted Chloe, didn’t you?” She cried even harder while she walked up the stairs. "Oh, and I'm sorry about hitting you with the keys..."


"It's alright..." Clark said, scrunching up his face to keep from crying.

CHAPTER 9
__________________________________________________ ______________

Clark fiddled with the keys in his hand, watching Lana. He clamped his mouth shut so he wouldn’t say anything to agitate her even more. Once Lana shut the door her cries muffled, too low for Clark to hear. He wanted to cry…but he didn’t. He was concentrated on finding out a way to tell her everything.

Clark walked back outside. He held the keys up for Chloe to see them; she nodded once she saw them getting back into her car. Clark went over and got into his truck. He turned on the radio and Lifehouse came on. That annoyed him so he furiously pressed all the buttons to change the station. Once Clark was done with that, he started to the farm. When he backed up he saw Lex walking to the Talon. Clark didn’t even care if he was in a fight with Lana or not- he would always protect her from Lex. Clark waited for Lex to go inside. When he did Clark hurriedly got out of his truck and went for the Talon. Lex was walking slowly swinging his arms around like a monkey. Clark grabbed him while Lex was on the third step causing him to fall.

Lex rubbed the back of his head. “What the hell, Clark?”

“I told you to stay away from her!” Clark yelled, forgetting Lana was just upstairs.

“Yeah well, you two aren’t together right now. You could have just told her the truth and she wouldn’t be crying right now.” Lex smirked. “And I thought the Kents could keep women.”

Clark grabbed him by the shoulder and tugged him back over, “How the hell could you know that Lex?!” Clark shouted.

“Maybe, Lana told me. She always comes to me when this stuff happens.”

“Than what did she do when she came down here?”

“Uh… she didn’t tell me that part.”

“So she didn’t tell you about how she came down here and slapped me in the face?” Clark questioned.

“Oh, actually she did tell me that. Did it hurt Clark?” Lex asked.

“Lex you are an idiot. That didn’t happen, she didn’t tell you anything!” Clark screamed.

“No, but I have her room tapped.” Lex admitted.

“You are a REAL smart guy. Smart move telling me that, Lex!” Clark jabbed him in his right jaw.

“Ow!” Lex yelped.

“I will NEVER let anything happen to Lana because of you!” Clark told him before performing an uppercut on Lex.

Lex fell to the floor. He got up soon and made a hand signal. Clark swiftly turned around to see to men in ski masks coming towards him and one in a fight with Chloe. She was gaining the upper hand with a friend called “taser”. The two men had blunt objects; one had a lead pipe, while the other had a crowbar.

“Shouldn’t hurt you should it Clark?” Lex asked while wiping off the blood.

The two men Lex soon acknowledged as Bill and Joe. They edged closer to Clark when Lana stepped out and dropped her mug causing everyone to turn around to her.

“Hi, Lana.” Lex said smiling cheerfully.

“Leave Clark alone!” Lana screeched. Her eyes were terribly red and puffy.

“What? I thought you hated him because he wouldn’t tell you the truth.” Lex said.

“How would you know that?!” Lana asked.

“He has your room tapped, Lana!” Clark yelled before getting punched in his eye. (The one that was already swollen from the keys)

“Clark!” Lana screamed before running down stairs.

Lex grabbed her, “Lana, you aren’t going anywhere.” He held her close, forcing her to watch Clark get hit in the chest with a crowbar numerous times.

“CLARK!!” Lana screamed out again.

“Shut up!” Lex commanded.

Clark was bludgeoned with the lead pipe before getting kneed in the face. He was bleeding all over and lying on the floor. Lana has been trying to get free this whole time and finally succeeded when Lex let go for a second to itch his head. She elbowed him in his nose making him bleed. She slapped him numerous times and finally did a high kick to his head causing him to fall onto a table, knocking him out. The men came towards her. She backed up against the wall. She hesitantly looked back at Clark; it fueled her anger enough not to be scared, but filled with rage. She did another high kick to Joe’s throat. When suddenly, a vase came smashing on Bill’s head. The two men fell to the floor. Lana did another kick to Joe to make sure he was knocked out. Lana quickly ran over to Clark.

He was bleeding profusely. Lana checked his pulse and it seemed fine. His breathing was shallow. She screamed to Chloe to call the police. Chloe ran outside to find her phone.
Lana was bawling now. She couldn’t keep her composure. Lana tried to lift Clark up with all her strength, after a few vigorous minutes she pulled him over to a couch in the back of the Talon.

“Clark… I-I’m so sorry. This is all my fault!” Lana said to him wiping the blood of his swollen face.

“Lana?” Clark asked, barely able to lift his eyes.

“Yes…Clark…it’s me.” Lana managed to get out, still sobbing.

“It’s…” Clark paused trying to breathe, “not your fault. It…” Clark took another breath wincing in pain. “It is mine.”

“No, it’s not, Clark. It’s mine. Chloe told me I should give you time and be understanding, I wasn’t…this is all my fault.” Lana wiped away her tears before kissing Clark’s forehead. “I just wanted the truth, I just wanted you to trust me. I now I should have been more patient, I’m sorry.”

“It’s… it is okay… I need you to know…” Clark clenched Lana’s hand. “That I love you, and that I do trust you. I just…” Clark paused again gritting his teeth. He than continued, “want to be with you forever…and I want to protect you.”

Lana ran back to get a new, clean cloth. She was finished cleaning up his face and proceeded to his torso. She unbuttoned his shirt when she saw Clark smiling. “Why are you smiling Clark?”

“Because I didn’t think that this you’d ever unbutton my shirt again… even in this… situation.” Clark’s breaths were shorter and even shallower then before.

Lana smiled until she saw the gash from the crowbar. “Oh my god!” She quickly wiped away her tears and proceeded to wipe the blood away.

“What?” Clark managed to ask.

“This happened to you because of me.” Lana told him.

“You’re okay, though.” Clark told her.

“I’d rather this happen to me than you, Clark.”

“I could never live with myself. I love…you. I will always…” Clark coughed. “…protect you.”
“I love you too, Clark.” She kissed his forehead, while removing some loose curls on his forehead. She ran over to the bathroom She got some gauze and an extremely large bandage. She placed it over Clark’s stomach and jumped back every time he winced. She walked away again.

“Don’t leave.” Clark asked, his eyes still closed.

“I’m not going anywhere.” She smiled and walked back over to him. He grabbed her hand, and gripped it tightly, than she muttered, “Ever again.”

Sorry about grammar everyone, next chapter by ten!

[redraven]

CHAPTER 10

Clark somehow, fell asleep. Lana stood up and walked out of the door.

“Chloe!” Lana yelled, looking around for Chloe. Suddenly, she felt an arm go around her neck and someone cup their hand over her mouth.

“Shhhhh. Shhhhh. Just, sit down Lana.” Lex told her. He let her go once she hit the ground. Lex picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. Lex started walking, “Hey! Green get Chloe!”

“Who?” Green asked.

“The girl you just knocked out!”

Green shrugged. “Who?!”

“The girl with the blonde hair on the ground you idiot!”

“Oh! Sorry, Lex.” Green said, picking Chloe up over his shoulder.

They didn’t get very far until the police came charging in. Green dropped Chloe to the ground and ran. He didn’t get very far until a policeman jumped him and arrested him. Lex, on the other hand, kept walking merrily down the street with Lana over his shoulder. The two Emergency medical technicians ran inside to help Clark. They rushed him to the hospital as fast as they could. Meanwhile, six police officers went up to Lex, along with Sheriff Adams.

“Excuse me, Lex?” Sheriff Adams asked.

“Oh, hello sheriff.” Lex said.

“What are you doin’ with Miss Lang?”

“Just taking her over to my mansion.” Lex replied cheerfully.

“Why is she unconscious there?”

“Because she didn’t want to come.” Lex said while continuing to walk down the road when the six police officers stopped him.

“Lex, I think you may need a little visit to Belle Reeve.” Sheriff Adams suggested.

“Yeah…about that…” Lex started, he threw Lana on to Sheriff Adams and ran. The six police officers shortly over took him. They all quickly took Lex away. Sheriff Adams was knocked over by Lana, but almost immediately picked her up and set her over on a bench. Around 20 minutes later, Lana woke up and looked around.

“Where is Clark?” Lana asked.

“Miss Lang, the ambulance took him away to the hospital.”

“I have to go see him!” She got up and ran back into the Talon coming back out with her purse and her car keys. She got into her jeep and sped to the hospital. She went to the reception area and found out where his room was. Lana ran to go see him. Lana slipped through the door so she wouldn’t wake him up. She pulled up a chair and sat down next to him.

She brushed his dark hair of his forehead. “I’m so sorry Clark.” She whispered.

He slowly lifted his eyes open. Once he saw Lana he cracked a weak smile. “Hi…”

“Hi.” She said smiling. “You need anything?” She said sniffing.

“No. That’s what I have pretty nurses for.”

“Clark! I would smack you but I’m not so sure that’s a good idea right now.” Lana told him, chuckling.

“They may…” Clark coughed. “They may be pretty…but you’re beautiful, Lana.”

Lana kissed Clark on the lips as gently as possible.

“Does this mean we’re together?” Clark asked feebly.

“Yes, it does.” She kissed him on his forehead again as she stroked his hair. “Can we just forget the fight we had?”

“Only if…you give me another kiss.” Clark said.

“No problem.” Lana smiled before kissing him lovingly, yet as soft as possible. Lana scooted her chair over as close as she could to Clark. She laid her head on his left shoulder, possibly the only unscathed body part he had after their encounter with Lex. Clark had goose bumps overcome him when he felt Lana’s soft touch on his bare skin. They both drifted to sleep, eventually. Lana was awaken later by a hand shaking her shoulder, it was Chloe.

“Hey, Lana, it’s almost 8:00, you’ve been here for a few hours. I checked in with the Kents, they are on their way, now. You okay?”

“I’m fine. I only have a couple bruises and scratches, but it is Clark you should worry about, look at him.” Lana said, her heart wrenching at seeing Clark like this.

“Um, Lana? Do you mind if I have a couple minutes alone with Clark?”

“No, of course not Chloe.” Lana said walking out, cracking the door slightly so she could hear what Chloe was saying.

“Hey, Clark. See? This is what I was talking about. Now that you don’t have your powers this… this can happen.” Chloe told him, tears flowing. “I hate seeing you like this.”

“I hate being like this, too.” Clark remarked. “Thanks for…” Clark winced before continuing, “Talking to Lana.”

“No problem, Clark.” Chloe told him.

“This was all worth it.”

“What was?”

“Getting beaten, crying, everything…now I have her back.”

“Clark I-" Chloe started before Mr. and Mrs. Kent walked through the door.

“I’m sorry, Chloe, do you mind?”

“No, sure go ahead.” Chloe looked back at Clark, “Bye.”

“Bye.” Clark answered weakly.

Chloe stepped out and saw Lana. “So, you guys are back together.”

Lana looked at her, “Yeah. You were right, Chloe. I should really listen to him and stop blaming him for everything.”

“Well, at least I’m right about something.” Chloe said. “I have to go.” Chloe walked away.

The nurse came up to the door, when Lana stopped her. “Um, excuse me?”

“Yes?”

“Do you know when Clark will be able to go home?”

“Not tonight, we still have to check his wounds and treat them.”

“Okay, thank you.” Lana walked in with the nurse to examine his wounds.
_______________

Sorry if I’m a little late for my update, took longer than I thought!

[SVsleuth]

That was a great update (Chap 9). Glad Lex got beat up & knocked out. Lana will take good care of Clark now. She won't mind unbuttoning his shirt daily to change the bandage for him... ;)

[redraven]

CHAPTER 11

Lana, Jonathan, and Martha all had to watch the nurses examine Clark from outside the hospital room. They waited for half an hour until the nurse that Lana spoke to came out.

“Hello, we’ve just finished checking on Clark’s wounds. He will need stiches on his chest. Once we are finished he will need to rest until morning.”

“When can he come home?” Lana asked almost chewing her nails down to the core.

“Around eight o’clock.” She smiled.

“Uh, can I sit in there with him?” Lana asked.

“I don’t think-“

“It’s just that… I really need to be there for him.”

“I will try to make an exception for you Miss…”

“Lang.”

“Miss Lang. What about you Mr. and Mrs. Kent?”

“We’ll be here to pick him up but we really should get back home.” Jonathan said. They left the hospital. Lana walked in and sat down next to Clark taking his hand into hers.

“This shouldn’t take too long Clark.” Lana said.

“I hope not.” Clark told her.

The surgery was over a couple hours later around eleven. Clark was bandaged up and taken care of. The doctors and nurses walked out leaving Clark and Lana alone in the room.

She fell asleep on his shoulder again to be awaken by Clark screaming.

“Clark! Clark! What’s wrong?!”

Clark was breathing heavily and sweating, “N-nothing, I’m fine. It was just a dream.”

“Are you sure you are all right?”

“Yea, I’m fine.” Clark replied.

Lana walked over to get a damp towel for Clark. She noticed on the clock that it said 3:24 AM. Lana yawned and dragged herself over to Clark. She proceeded to dab his forehead.

“Lana, you should go home. It’s late…really late.”

“I’m not going home now. I’m not leaving unless you’re coming with me.”

“Okay, than… what now?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m not going to fall asleep now that I know you’re here.” Clark told her.

“Do you want to watch TV until you fall asleep?”

“Sure.”

They turned on the TV and watched it until Clark finally drifted asleep. Lana turned off the TV and kissed him, which even though he was sleeping he returned the kiss passionately. Lana was surprised but continued until a nurse walked in. They broke apart which caused Clark to fall over Lana caught him and used all her strength to put him back on the bed.

“I don’t think he should be to active while he’s on bed rest.” She smiled and walked out.

Lana leaned against Clark for the third time and fell asleep. The next morning, the sun’s rays pierced through the blinds and onto Clark. He woke up and looked over at Lana. She wasn’t awake from the sun yet. He stared at her beautiful, angelic face for a while. Lana slowly fluttered her eyelids open and saw Clark staring at her. She sat up and gave him a tender kiss.

“It’s almost ten, Clark. We can leave.”

“Could you call the nurse in, then?”

“Yes.” Lana gave him a quick kiss and went for the nurse. She came back and Lana signed some release forms so they could leave. Clark went over and put some pants on after some struggling.

“Lana, can you help me out, over here?” Clark asked.

“Sure, Clark.” She walked over to him took off the blanket revealing his bruised torso. “Oh my god, Clark.” She ran her fingers lightly along his chest, giving him goose bumps again. She grabbed a white t-shirt and helped him put it on. He put his arm around her as they left the hospital.

CHAPTER 12


Lana helped Clark get over to her car. She was helping him into the front seat when, “AAARRGGGGHHHH!” Clark yelled causing Lana to panic.

“CLARK! Are you okay?!”

“Yea, I was just kidding.” Clark laughed at her mortified face.

“Clark!” She playfully hit him on his unhurt shoulder.

“Hey! I’m bruised all over and you’re hitting me?!”

“Sorry.” She made a puppy dogface, “Do I need to kiss your boo-boos, Clark?”

“Yep.” He grinned and pointed to a hurt spot on his chest.

“No problem.” She smiled and kissed every one of Clark’s bruises on his torso. On the last one she lingered and made her way up to his neck and onto his lips. She pulled away slowly and said, “I missed one.” She went back over and kissed the spot she hit on his shoulder.

“I feel a lot better now.” He smiled as he sat in the passenger seat.

“Glad, I helped.” She laughed and went over to her side of the car.

They drove home and at every stop sign, and stop light Clark would kiss her on the cheek since he couldn’t reach any further without wincing, he didn’t want to remind Lana of the pain the beating left him.

When they reached the farm Clark looked at Lana and said, “Does that make up for you fixing my “boo-boos” ?

“You never had to make up for it.” Lana smiled widely as she made her way back over to Clark.

“All those kisses for NOTHING? Man.” Clark said as he smacked his knee.

“You’ll get your reward.” Lana smiled seductively and helped Clark out of the car. He once again put his arm around her and they eventually got to the loft. Lana slowly got Clark to lie on the couch. Clark scrunched up against the couch so there was room for Lana; he then patted the area next to him for Lana.

Lana grinned and walked over to him. She sat down, careful not to hurt any bruises or the stitched up gash. Lana gave him a lingering kiss as he caressed her cheek with his hand.

She pulled away hesitantly, and looked at Clark. “I need to tell your parents that you’re back.” She got up and walked over to the stairs.

“You’re coming back right?” Clark asked.

“Always.” She smiled and walked down the stairs over to the farm.

Lana knocked on the door. Martha answered. “Hi, Lana. What are you doing here? Clark’s not back yet.”

“Actually, he is. I brought him back, he’s in the loft.”

“Okay thank you Lana.” Martha gave her a quick hug as she went back in to tell Jonathan. Martha soon came back over to the door, “I’ll make Clark something to eat and drink. You should go back over to Clark; he probably doesn’t want to be alone, right now.

“Sure, Mrs. Kent.” Lana told her as she walked away.

“You’re back.” Clark said scooting over so there is a place for Lana.

“Clark, you should get comfortable, I’ll be right next to you.”

“I would be a little MORE comfortable if you’re right here.” He said patting that spot again.

Lana shook her head but sat down and lie there anyway. She was careful not to hurt him.

“See? Now I’m really comfortable.” He put his right arm over her petite waist.

“Me, too, Clark.” She kept her eyes open waiting for Clark to fall asleep first.

She noticed the large cut on his forearm when he put his arm around her. She didn’t want to hurt it but she still lightly rubbed around it with her thumb.

“What are you doing?” Clark asked.

“Can’t sleep.” Lana answered.

“Lana, you don’t have to lay here if you don’t want to.”

“I do want to. I just can’t sleep even though I’m exhausted. I just have too many things on my mind.”

“Is it because of me?” Clark questioned.

“No…well part of it.”

“What part, Lana?”

“I will talk to you about it when you’re feeling better.”

“That’s not fair. Then I won’t be able to sleep.”

“When I was in the hospital with you Chloe came in and….”


PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!

[Nemu]

CHATER 12 (continued)

“When I was in the hospital with you Chloe came in and said some things…” Lana started.

Clark’s eyes widened. “Lana- I uh… can you help me sit up?”

Lana stood up and helped Clark sit up. She sat next to him and he put his arm around her and rested his head on hers. “Lana? What did you hear her say?”

“Some stuff about… this whole thing wouldn’t have happened to you if you had your powers?”

Clark let out a nervous laugh. “It-it’s true.”

“What powers? What was she talking about?”

“Will it help you get some sleep?” Clark asked.

“Maybe…”

“Okay then… it’s just I can’t really prove anything to you.”

“What?”

“I don’t have my powers any more so…”

Lana laughed. “Me neither.”

“Lana!”

“What?”

“This isn’t funny.” Clark told her.

“I know. I’m serious I could fly, Clark. I can’t any more.”

“Err…” Clark cleared his throat.

“What?”

“This is really complicated, I can’t show you so…”

Martha came up the stairs with a tray of food with a worried look on her face. “Here, Clark.” Martha left the tray of food on the small table in front of the couch.

“Thanks, mom.”

Martha walked back out leaving Lana and Clark alone again.

“Lana? I can’t reach it.”

Lana rolled her eyes and took a chunk of sandwich and fed it to Clark. She continued feeding him until Clark stood up.

“Clark! Be careful!” She held on to his arm. “What are you doing?”

“I want to talk outside.”

“Alright.” She put his arm over her shoulder and put her other arm around his waist. She helped him down the stairs and they were fine on flat ground. They walked out and kept going.

Lex came up behind them. “Clark!” Lex screamed.

Lana nearly dropped Clark as they turned around to face Lex.

Lex held up a gun to Clark and Lana.

“Lex don’t do this.” Lana pleaded.

Lex pointed it at Clark. “I have to.”

“Lana, run.” Clark whispered.

“I’m not leaving you here, Clark.”

“How did you even get away from the police Lex?” Clark asked.

“Green helped me. It doesn’t matter now; say your good-byes so I CAN KILL YOU! Lex shouted.

“Lana, he’s gonna’ kill me anyway, run.” Clark told her.

“If Lana runs, I’ll kill her. If you run, Clark I’ll kill her.”

They all saw Chloe’s car was about to pull up. She got out of her car and ran towards them; Lex pointed his gun at her. Lana came up behind Lex and knocked the gun out of his hand, Clark, meanwhile fell to the ground too weak to stand on his own. Lex tripped Lana and picked the gun back up whacking Chloe in the side of the face with it.

“I’m done with this!” Lex yelled, he pointed the gun at Clark and shot him in the chest.

“NO!!” Lana screeched. She ran up behind Lex and elbowed him in the back of the head. Chloe was still lying unconscious on the ground. Lana continued kicking Lex in the face with rage flowing through her veins. Lana abruptly stopped and called 911. She rushed over to Clark. He was on the ground spitting up blood.

“Clark! Please don’t leave me!” Lana was yelling as a waterfall of tears flowed down her cheeks.

The ambulance soon arrived. They sped Clark to the hospital, leaving Lana on the ground shaking. There was blood on her hands from trying to stop the bleeding. She darted to her car and sped to the hospital. She ran in and found his room

“Miss! Miss, you can’t be in here!” The doctor told her.

Lana went passed the doctor anyway. It took three people to get her out of the room, she was crying uncontrollably.

“I was in here earlier! I’m telling you I need to be here if he has surgery!”

The same nurse that let her pass earlier gave the okay. Lana rushed in and held Clark’s hand.

The surgeons went on with taking the bullet out.

“You were just getting better.” Lana said as she wept.

Clark wearily nodded.

This made Lana crack a slight smile before she burst into tears again.

After about an hour later the surgery was over with. Lana heard the nurses talk about how the bullet pierced an artery and that he won’t last much longer.

“Clark, I love you, please don’t give up on me!”

“I won’t.” Clark said in a barely audible whisper.

Lana cupped his cheek in her hand and kissed him. She clenched his hand and sat with him. The heart monitor was beeping slower and slower with each passing minute. Lana ran to get the nurses. As soon as they came back into the room, there was a man in a ski mask standing over Clark. He had a pistol in his hand pointing at Clark’s head. Lana ran towards the man as he was about to pull the trigger. Lana hit him enough for Green to miss his head. Green got up and hit Lana with the gun. Green shot a nurse, causing the other nurse to run for help. Green turned around to shoot Clark, he shot him the chest again. Green was about to run out when several policeman stopped him. Green shot both of them before getting shot himself.

Jeez, now Jor-El has an excuse for restoring his powers...restoring his "Kal-El" side... I just hope he doesn't try to pull the whole "life-exchange" crap.

PPMS!

Figures you'd agree, you've had your fair share of speaking what's on your dirty mind! :p

[deanyouk]

bullet to the head? abit over board, but I like it.

You rele seem to be killing him though, how can he come back from this with doctors etc knowing he was shot in the head...

[redraven]

i meant to change it a bit... i never actually intended for Clark to be shot in the head, just for Green to miss the head.

[superman_lives_on]

Oh, our mistake, then.

[redraven]

no it was mine, i changed it now, it is a lot more cheesy this time, though.

[superman_lives_on]

Seems a little rushed...but at least now Clark didn't get his brains blown out.

[redraven]

it was rushed, i did it in about 10 seconds, ill probably edit it again with more thought put into it.

[*~KrYpToN619~*]

Jeez! He might die from loss of blood!!!

[eriii1]

OMG! Even though this update had a lot of drama in it, it was still very good. Can't wait to see what happens next! PPMS!!

[SVsleuth]

Ok, just let him die & come back to life already... then he can show Lana his powers. PPMS!

[akuma]

DAMN, Clark sure does get shot alot:p Anyways, love this story and cant wait for more!

[basketballstar23]

good gracious...what's up with everyone being shot????

[redraven]

CHAPTER 13
Here’s another chapter…

Lana woke up immediately. She stood up and saw that Clark wasn’t in the hospital bed. She ran around frantically hoping to see him somewhere. She ran into a nurse outside the door.

“Are you, Lana Lang?” The nurse asked.

“Yes.” Lana said.

“You were a witness right to what happened in here right?”

Lana nodded.

What did you see when that man, Green came in?”

Lana cleared her throat. “I saw him pointing a gun at Clark’s head.”

The nurse’s eyes widened.

“I managed to get Green to miss his head. I couldn’t stop him from shooting Clark because he shot the nurses you saw probably saw being wheeled out earlier.”

The nurse nodded.

“The other reason is because he whacked me in the face with his gun.” Lana told her pointing to the large bruise on her cheekbone.

“Can I ask you a question, now?”

“Yes.” The nurse answered.

“Where is, Clark?” Lana asked.

“I was about to ask you that question…” The nurse said. Lana nodded, again and left crossing her arms and making her way back over to the parking lot. She got in her car and raced to the farm.

Lana arrived at the farm only to see Jonathan and Martha heading out.

“Um… Mr. and Mrs. Kent?” Lana asked, her eyes becoming watery.

“Yes, Lana?” Martha asked.

“Is Clark here?”

“No…we thought he was at the hospital.” Martha replied.

“Well…he’s not.”

“What?” Jonathan asked, anger showing in his voice.

Lana started to cry. “I’m sorry I don’t know.” Martha came up to her and hugged her. “We’ll find him, Lana, don’t worry.”

Lana nodded and got back into her jeep. She went back to her apartment and collapsed on the bed. She remembered how Lex had her room tapped, and then hurriedly left. Lana drove all the way back to the farm and got out. She went over to the loft and slumped down on the couch. Lana wailed in the pillow and eventually fell asleep. Lana slowly woke up a few hours later and decided to lie there for just a little longer. Lana got up and looked at the clock, it read 6:28 PM. Lana sighed and stood up. She paced around looking around and saw Clark’s red jacket (that horrid one he wears in every episode with a blue shirt). She hugged it tightly inhaling the scent. She walked out of the loft with it. Lana walked around the farm before finally going up to the house.

(Knock knock knock) Martha answered the door, “Hi, Lana.”

“Hi, Mrs. Kent.” Lana said feebly.

Lana looked at Lana and the red jacket she was gripping. “Are you okay, Lana?” Martha thought about how stupid the question was, none of them were okay with Clark gone.

“I just I don’t really want to be at my apartment and it is cold in the loft.” Lana told her.

“Come in, please.” Martha said as she held the door open for Lana.

Lana walked in and dropped down on the couch sobbing into the pillow.

“Lana, honey? Are you hungry?”

“No, Mrs. Kent.” Lana answered before bawling, once again. She fell asleep again before Martha tapped her shoulder. “Lana, go ahead into Clark’s room to sleep, it’s warm in there.”

Lana nodded as she dragged herself up the stairs and into Clark’s bed. She awoke very early the next morning to feel an arm around her waist. Her eyes were now as wide as baseballs as she slowly turned over to see Clark’s unscathed face on the pillow. Once she saw him she jumped and hit her head on the lamp, which startled Clark.

“Clark?!” Lana asked, holding the back of her head.

“Lana? Are you okay?”

Lana’s mouth was wide open as she stared at Clark. “Am I dreaming?”

Clark smiled and sat up, “If you were your head wouldn’t be hurting right now.”

“Uh-wh-what-where?” Lana stuttered.

“There will be time for questions, later, Lana.” He grinned. “Now, is time for sleeping.” He lifted up the blanket as an invitation for Lana to get back in. She looked over at the clock that read, 4:11 AM. She yawned and got back in burying her face in Clark’s neck. He smiled and put his arm back around her.

Lana awoke the next morning around eight o’clock. She opened her eyes and saw that Clark wasn’t there. “Clark?!”

“What?” He asked from over by the window.

Lana breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw him in plaid pajama bottoms without a shirt. His back was facing her. She crept up behind him and slid her arms around his waist, turning him around. She was amazed that she didn’t see any wounds. Lana ran her fingers up and down his chest and looked back up at him to see him smiling. She reached up on the tip of her toes and kissed him. Clark returned the kiss with such passion that Lana’s legs turned to jello and weren’t stable anymore. Clark picked her up and carried her back over to the bed, still kissing her. He tried to place her down but she wouldn’t let go of his neck, which pulled him down on top of her. They continued kissing intensely. Clark went from her lips down to her neck, which made Lana giggle.

Clark stopped and stood back up, “If I knew this would be the result of me coming back, I would’ve waken you up yesterday!”

“What’s the difference?” Lana asked breathing hard.

“My parents… are up…now.” Clark answered walking over to put a shirt on.

“And you don’t think we would’ve woken them up yesterday?” Lana asked, chuckling.

“Good point. Come on we can continue this later.” Clark said smiling.

“What if I don’t want to?” Lana asked, now sitting up on the bed.

“What about after breakfast?”

“Now…or never.”

Clark’s jaw dropped. “I’ll just find someone else than.”

“ Clark!” Lana yelled and then through her shoe at him and hit him in the face. Lana put her hand over her mouth, “Clark! I’m so sorry!” Lana ran over to him only to show Clark smiling.

“This is one of those things that we’ll have to talk about later.” Clark told her.

Lana nodded.

“Oh, and Lana?”

“What?”

“Great way to kill the mood, with a high-heeled shoe.” Clark said as he applauded.

“You started it!”

“No I didn’t!” Clark retorted.

Lana crossed her arms.

“Fine, I started it…but you finished it off.” Clark said, smiling.

“Whatever!” Lana told him grabbing on to his muscular arm tugging him down to the kitchen.

"Hi, mom, dad."

Jonathan nearly choked on his coffee while Martha ran up to him and hugged him.

"When did you get back sweetheart?" Martha asked, letting go of him.

"Last night, around midnight." Clark started, "I didn't want to wake you guys up so I went to sleep in my room."

"At least your back now, son. There are pancakes on the counter. I'll talk to you later, Clark." Jonathan said as he walked out of the house.

"I'm glad you're back, Clark. I better go clean up.” Martha said as she went upstairs.

Clark and Lana ate their breakfast in silence.

CHAPTER 14 (Pt 1 of 2)

Lana and Clark quickly finished their breakfast. Clark was about to get up and wash his dishes when Lana took them out of his hand, “Let me get those, you have a lot of stuff to think about, Clark.”

Clark smiled, “I’ll be out in the loft.” He went up to Lana with her back facing him and kissed her cheek, holding on to her waist for a little while. A few minutes later, Clark walked out to the loft to leave Lana to clean up.

When Lana was done, she walked over to the loft and saw Clark lying down with his hands crossed behind his head.

“You have some serious explaining to do, Clark.” Lana said as she grinned.

“I know.” He let out a small smile that faded quickly.

“You’re not having second thoughts, are you?” Lana asked, worried.

“No.” Clark reassured her. He sat up and put his feet on the floor. Lana walked over and sat next to him. They both sat in silence for a little bit before Lana changed positions so her head was on his lap and her knees were up.

“You ready?” Clark asked rubbing her forehead with his thumb.

“Uh huh.” Lana replied.

“Okay…well there are so many places to start.”

“You can start by telling me how you don’t have a scratch on you.”

“That was the part I was trying to save for last. It’s one of the most complicated things.”

“What else is there?”

“I have super hearing…or at least that’s what I call it.”

Lana started laughing. “Wow, Clark…that doesn’t sound lame at all.”

“Lana! This is hard for me to do and you’re laughing at me!”

“Well, excuse me if I find this hard to believe.”

Clark raised his eyebrows.

“Never mind. Why don’t you prove it to me then?”

“I will.” Clark walked down the stairs.

“Where are you going?”

“To the house. I’ll walk all the way over there. You say something…and I’ll hear it.”

“Okay.”

Clark walked to the farm and yelled, go.

Lana said in her normal tone, “This is crazy.”

Clark jogged back in his normal speed and went up the stairs and sat next to Lana. “This isn’t crazy.”

“Uh…wow.” Lana said dumbfounded.

“I have a feeling you’ll be saying that a lot today.” Clark said chuckling. “Do you feel any different about me so far?”

Lana scooted closer to him and pulled him towards her kissing him. She let go a minute or two later. “Not at all.”

Clark smiled and took her hands in hers, “Good. Because there’s plenty more to tell.”

“Can’t wait to hear it…or see it. Since we’re on the subject of secrets… I’d like to tell you one.”

“Shoot.”

“Ok. For the past couple weeks…I’ve been studying the meteor showers and that spaceship that landed…”

“Spaceship?” Clark asked.

“You didn’t let me finish. I’ve been studying all that…with Lex.”

Clark took his hands away from hers and stood up, “Lex?” He smirked, “Lex? Wow, after you know about the problems me and Lex have been having, especially recently… considering that he tried to kill me twice, you still go around him all the time?”

“Clark, if you want me to listen to you and hear you out, you need to do the same for me.”

“You are right, I’m sorry Lana.” Clark told her as he sat back down beside her.

“I stopped right after Lex came over that one day, before we went on our date.”

“But you still lied to me for weeks.”

“Clark…what about you?! You’ve been lying to me ever since I met you! I’ve only been lying to you for a couple weeks, just so you wouldn’t be hurt, or worried!

“Why do you think I’ve been lying to you?! To protect you, Lana!”

“I never get tired of hearing that excuse!”

“It’s not an excuse!”

“Sure it’s not! Than why does Chloe know?! You didn’t want to protect her?!”

“I had to tell her! She already knew about some of my abilities before I even knew it! I had to explain the rest to her!”

“So you trust a reporter that could write a story on you instead of telling someone you love?”

“Lana, I wanted to tell you. I do love you and that’s why I didn’t tell you!”

“Clark you realize we are yelling right now, don’t you?”

Clark sighed and stood up. “Like I said, there’s a lot to tell. I get a little worked up over it.”

“A little?”

“Really worked up, okay?”

“Clark, can we just take a break? I hate fighting.”

“Me, too. I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry, too, Clark.” She once again placed her head on his lap as he stroked her hair.

Lana got back up and said, “You cooled off yet?”

“Yep. You?”

“Yes. Can you continue?”

“Sure. Let me think, I’m really strong.”

“I think I’ve already…never mind.”

“What?”

“I said never mind!”

“WELL THEN! I guess never mind I don’t have anything else to tell you.” Clark crossed his arms and acted like Lana.

“WELL! I guess never mind, I don’t want to be with you anymore!”

Clark put his hand over his mouth and gasped. “Alright, fine. You win.”

“Don’t I always?”

Clark nodded. “Do you want to show you how strong I am?”

“Sure.”

Clark stood up and Lana took his hand in hers as they walked out side to the driveway. He picked up a basketball, “Lana you see this basketball?”

“Umm, yes.”

“Keep your eyes on it.” Clark threw the basketball up into the sky and into space.”

“Is it coming back down?” Lana asked still looking up into the sky.

“I doubt it.” Clark smiled and led her back into the loft by hand.

“Wow, Clark you’re amazing. You always were but-“

“I’m out of this world?” Clark asked.

“Um, yea.” Lana said.

Clark chuckled slightly.

“What?” Lana asked, confused.

“Nothing. Come on I have another thing to show you.” Clark told her, leading her back over to the couch.

“Alright, so I’ve shown you super strength, and super hearing. I want to show you something else.” Clark super sped to a store and got several scented candles and super sped back, placing them all around the loft.

“How did you do that?” Lana looked down. “You can teleport can’t you? Just like Alicia…”

Clark started laughing. “No. I can’t teleport…but I can run really fast.”

“Super speed, huh?”

“Yea.”

“Why candles, Clark?”

“I want to light them. Come on.” He led her by hand over to a candle. Clark squinted at the candle and lit it.

“Wow.”

“I told you that you’d be saying that a lot.”

“How can I not?” Lana asked kissing Clark on the cheek. “Did you do that with your eyes? Or super speed over to a lighter and light it before I blinked.”

“No it was by my eyes.” Clark responded.

“Can you do it again?”

“Why not, I think there are about 49 more to show you with.” Clark once again concentrated on a candle and lit it. He did this with all the candles around the room and sat back down with Lana on the couch.

“Well, Clark, you did show me a lot of your secrets, so I thought I would share another
one with you.”

“Okay…” Clark turned his body towards her.

“The day of the meteor shower…I, actually Isabelle…killed Genevieve, Jason’s mom.”

Clark’s eyes widened. He thought about the blood on the stone. “Is that whose blood it was on the stone?”

Lana nodded.

“Did you tell anyone else?”

“No.”

Clark breathed a sigh of relief.

“But…”

“What?”

“Lex walked in on me.”

“Wha-what did he do?”

“He helped me out, I guess so I wouldn’t be arrested.”

“Okay…thanks for telling me, I guess. So how did he cover it up?”

“He, well not him, but he got someone to write that they just went missing in the meteor shower.”

“They?” Clark questioned.

“Jason and his mom.”

“Oh, right.”

“So…it’s my turn again.” Clark said.

“It is…”

“I have x-ray vision, I can see through anything.”

“Even clothes?”

“Yes, Lana.” Clark replied, smiling.

“So exactly, when did you get this “power”?”

“A while ago, in high school when I was a freshman.”

“You didn’t happen to, you know…look through anyone’s clothes did you?”

“No…n-no of course not.”

“Clark!”

“Only once! It was an accident!”

“Ok, I really need to stop you there, before you go into any details.”

“Of course, I’m sure you’d recognize your own butt.”

Lana’s face turned red. “When you were a freshman, you say?” Lana asked while slapping Clark’s arm.

“Yep.” Clark told her grinning ear to ear.

“Okay, super boy, what else can you do?”

Clark held up his hand as he counted what he told her, “I told you about, strength, hearing, speed, x-ray vision, heat vision, that leaves two err, one more. And my history.”

“Tell me.”

“I’m saving that for tonight.” Clark grinned. “Lana, you’re not freaked out by this…or me? At all?”

“I have to admit, I have a lot more questions, but I’ll ask when you’re finished telling me everything.” Lana leaned in to give Clark a tender kiss.

CHAPTER 14 (2 of 2)

Lana pulled away from Clark leaving him lingering for more. She stood up, “I’m going to go for a drive.”

“Where? You can’t go to your apartment can you?” Clark asked while messing with his hair.

“No, I forgot. I could always sleep here…”

“I wouldn’t like that, Lana.”

“And why not?” Lana asked putting her hands on her hips.

“Because it’s dumb to sleep here when you could sleep in my room.” Clark grinned.

Lana released her hands from her hips and walked back towards Clark, tugging him by the collar into another deep kiss, which she slowly pulled away from minutes later.

Clark licked his lips and cleared his throat, “Kidding aside-“

“Who said I was kidding? Maybe I want to sleep here.” Lana told him.

“I could take a look around your apartment and get rid of anything Lex put in there.”

“That would be great.” She smiled and pulled him by the arm to her car.

On the way to the Talon Clark broke the silence, “Even if I do get rid of all the stuff Lex put in your apartment…you could still…sleep over, if you want.”

“I know.” Lana replied.

Clark chuckled slightly. They arrived at the Talon several minutes later. They walked through the door and Lana sat on the couch crossing her legs. Clark squinted and used his x-ray vision around the room and he found two microphones and two cameras. He smashed the cameras by stomping on them. He crushed the mics in his hand.

“Thanks, Clark.” Lana told him.

Clark walked over to the couch and lit the wood in the fireplace with his eyes.

“That’s going to take some time to get used to.”

Clark smiled and sat next to her. She snuggled up close to Clark as he wrapped his arm around her tilting his head onto hers. Lana fell asleep in his arms as he just sat there wide-awake stroking her hair. Clark slowly fell asleep about an hour later. The both of them were deep in their slumber until Clark woke up. He looked over at the clock as it read 3:23 PM.

“Wow. We were asleep longer than I thought.” Clark looked back down at Lana and smiled, she was still curled up against his chest sleeping.

Clark sat there and watched her sleep until about four. He tried to get up without disturbing her; he failed.

“Clark? What time is it?”

“It’s four, Lana.” Clark answered.

“You got rid of all the cameras?”

“I think.” Clark checked around one more time when he found something in the bathroom. “Lana! There is a camera in here!”

“WHAT?!”

“Just kidding!”

“Clark!”

He walked back in and kissed Lana’s forehead as he stood behind her. Lana stood up and walked over to Clark so she was right in front of him. “Now…” She said tugging him over towards the bed, “We don’t have to worry about cameras…” She told him in between kisses. Clark was standing right in front of the bed when Lana poked him as he fell on to it. Lana climbed on top of Clark and starting kissing him passionately. Clark returned her kiss with intensity as he pulled himself up on a better position on the bed. Then he remembered…his powers; he stopped kissing her abruptly.

“Clark?” Lana asked still on top of him.

“My…powers…”

“What about them?” Lana asked panting.

“Um…now’s a good time to finish our conversation from earlier…”

Lana sighed with disappointment. “Alright, fine.”

“Lana, I’m sorry, it’s just that I’m kind of afraid…”

Lana raised her eyebrows, “Of what?”

“Of hurting you.”

“Okay, Clark you weren’t that g-“ Lana paused. “Is the time that you didn’t have your powers the same time we uh, had sex?”

“Yea…and now I do…”

“Well, I’m sure other people infected by meteors can…”

“I’m not infected by meteors, Lana.”

“What?”

“I was born this way.” Clark stated.

“What? That doesn’t make-“

“I was born on another planet.”

“What?” Lana started laughing. “That’s funny.” Lana looked at Clark’s serious expression. “Never mind… wait… that would make you an alien.”

“That’s because I am.”

“But you’re just like…you look just like everyone else…every where.”

“Yea…but inside I’m different.”

“You are. No one else is that self-less, sweet, kind, or caring.”

“Thanks for the compliment. But I meant my DNA.”

“Oh…but…you’re still the same person, right?” Lana asked, worriedly.

“I’m the person I’ve always been.” Clark looked down at the floor. “Feel any different about me now that you know I’m an alien?”

Lana looked at Clark, “I’ve always loved you, Clark.”

He put his hand on hers but she quickly moved it away and stood up. “The powers…I could get used to…but…you’re an alien. I don’t even know who you are, or what you are, besides an alien. You were only human…for a few weeks. This is just…too much. Can you leave?”

Clark’s eyes became watery. “Lana…”

“Just…please…leave.” Lana told him, her eyes becoming glossy.

Clark walked out the door, stumbling down the stairs as he super sped home. He arrived in the loft and slouched down on the top stair. “I knew this would happen!” Clark shouted tears falling down his cheeks. “I didn’t even finish telling her before I scared her off!”

“What did you tell her?” Chloe asked coming up the stairs.

“Where I’m from. I knew this would happen, Chloe!” Clark yelled smashing his fist through the wooden railing.

“Do you want to talk?” Chloe asked.

“Maybe later.” Clark went back up the stairs and started working on something when he snapped the hammer in half. He sent the two pieces of hammer into space as he flung them as far as he could.

“Clark, I’m sorry. Call me if you need anything.”

Clark stayed silent. Chloe stomped down the stairs to confront Lana yet again on breaking Clark’s heart. “You were right, Chloe…I should have been more understanding of Clark…my ass.” Chloe said as she angrily mimicked Lana. She raced over to Lana to Lana’s apartment to try to talk her out of her own stupidity.

CHAPTER 15

Here is a short chapter, the last update for today, since deanyouk wanted another chapter.

Chloe got to The Talon rather quickly as she rushed out of her car and upstairs to the door of Lana’s apartment.

BANG BANG BANG!

“Go away!” Lana shouted.

“No! Lana open up!”

“Go away, Chloe!”

“I’m not leaving until you let me in!”

“That didn’t make any sense! GO AWAY!” Lana told Chloe between sobs.

“Lana it DID make sense! But you’re too hysterical to see that! Or maybe you’re just too dumb in the first place!”

“What?!” Lana yelled.

“Let me in and we’ll talk!”

“No!”

“Fine, Lana! It’s your loss anyway!”

“What is?!”

“Losing, Clark!”

“You mean losing an alien?!”

Chloe opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself, “Lana, I’m not yelling through this door anymore!”

“I don’t care!”

“Sure, you don’t Lana! You’re just gonna’ be alone for the rest of your life! What friends do you have left? You can’t answer that can you? You lost Clark, so you lost me and the care of his parents, too! Smart move Lana all you had to do was talk!”

Chloe heard Lana cry harder and rolled her eyes, than she started to feel a little bad.

“Lana?”

“What?”

“I’m sorry, I just really need to talk to you.” Chloe said calmly.

“Fine. Whatever.”

Chloe walked in and saw Lana sitting on her bed with two empty medium size boxes of pizza and a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth. Her eyes were red and puffy. Chloe walked over and sat on her bed.

“Lana, you need to talk to Clark about this. I was going to come over here and yell at you some more but I don’t think that’s the best idea now.”

Lana swallowed the spoonful, “Chloe…(sniff)…at first when he told me he was and alien I didn’t care much until I really thought about it. Then I realized I was in love with an alien.”

Chloe shook her head, “If you only think of Clark as an alien then maybe you need to reevaluate your feelings for him.”

“Chloe, are you saying I don’t love him?”

“Not exactly. You told me in the hospital that you told me that I was right, and that you need to be more understanding and patient. You also said that you’d try to think about how it is for Clark.” Chloe turned her head. “And you wondered why he didn’t want to tell you.” Chloe stood up to leave but stopped at the door. “Clark may have hurt you in the past, Lana, but it was for your protection. You hurt him because of your selfishness. Congratulations, you succeeded in making him feel like crap, Lana.” And with that statement, Chloe went back out to her car and drove back to the farm.

Lana thought about what Chloe said and got dressed. She splashed water on her face and paced around thinking of what she was going to say. “What if? What if Clark doesn’t want to listen to me? I didn’t think about how he felt…I am stupid.” Lana said to herself. She ran back out the door to her jeep and drove to the Kent Farm.

CHAPTER 16
Hope everyone likes it, leave feedback!

Chloe and Lana arrived at the farm almost simultaneously as Clark stood up by the drive way waiting for them to stop and get out.

Lana got out first, she then ran up to Clark.

“Clark! I need to talk to you!” Lana told him.

Clark nodded, “I’m so glad that you needed a pep talk from Chloe to realize that.” He fiddled with the keys in his hand.

“Clark, I-I just needed some time to think. Chloe just helped me realize some things.”

“Exactly. Some of those things you should have realized on your own.”

“I would have…” Lana began.

“Eventually, right?” Clark finished.

“Clark, I still need to think about things. I just want to get through whatever questions I have with you.”

Clark nodded and Chloe walked up to them.

“Hey, Clark. Hi, Lana.” Chloe said.

“Chloe…I kind of need to talk to Lana, right now.” Clark said.

“Of course.” She smiled, “Just send the one who you can trust away.” She muttered.

“Clark…” Lana started.

“What? Are you going to tell me how weird it is that I’m an alien? I know it’s weird Lana. But you are confusing me with your serious mood swings.”

Lana sighed. “Maybe I am having some mood swings but I’m confused.”

“About what? How much you love me? Because if that’s what you’re confused about than…than…”

“Than what?” Lana asked.

“I don’t know, Lana. But I need to know one thing, do you still love me?”

“I love you, Clark.” Lana’s eyes started to become tear-filled. “I’m sorry, Clark. I am stupid, I really need to work on my attitude and try not to be so selfish. Just like Chloe said.”

“Yea, you do.” Clark said.

“And I thought…that it was really stupid of me to judge you and get mad before I know everything.” Lana told him.

“So you want to get mad after you know everything?”

“No. I just want to know the truth about you. I’m sorry, Clark. For everything.”

Clark nodded and walked back over to the loft and sat down. “Lana…”

Lana held his hand and smiled slightly.

“As I told you before, I’m from another planet. I’m from Krypton.”

“Krypton?”

“Yeah, Krypton. It’s really far away…in a different galaxy.”

“And that’s why I have never heard of it, right?”

“Yep.”

“So…those other people from the second meteor shower were from Krypton too?”

“Uh huh. They’re gone now so that means I am the last son of Krypton.”

“Wow.”

“I’m glad you’re back to saying that again instead of crying and telling me to leave your apartment.”

“Me, too. I’m going to work on never acting like that again.”

“Hopefully.” He smiled and looked down at the floor.

“Clark…if those people came here during the second meteor shower…did you come here during the first?”

“Uh huh. And your parents died… because of me…”

“What? That wasn’t because of you. If it was anyone’s fault it would be your parents…but it’s not because if they didn’t send you, I wouldn’t be in love. So basically I should be thanking your parents not blaming them.”

Clark smiled, “Maybe but-“

“No buts, I’m tired of complications in out relationship. First we’re happy together…than something comes up and we’re mad…then you get shot, and we’re sad…and then you get better and we’re happy again. I just want to stay happy forever.” Lana gave Clark a warm kiss on the lips.

“Me, too.” He said quietly. “That’s why I need to show you something.”

“What?”

“Somewhere, actually.”

“Let’s go.”

“You’re going to be freezing if you go like that.”

“We are still going to be in Kansas, right?”

“Not really…but it is my own little place. Just get something warm, I’ll be waiting.”

“Won’t you get cold, Clark?”

“No.” He smiled.

“Alright, I’ll get some warm clothes.” She turned and kissed him lovingly before she darted out the door to her car where she raced to her apartment as quickly as possible.

Clark super sped to his room where he opened the first drawer and fiddled with something. He put it into his pocket and smiled. Clark walked back out the door, the sun was starting to set.

[SVsleuth]

1st! off to read.... Still reading... had missed the last few... now I'm finally starting the last chapter....

FINALLY! I finally caught up! Man, I go away from home for a day & it takes another day to catch up on all the great stuff I missed here.

Ah, so Clark is taking her to the FOS now - to propose again???? I hope so....
She has been a bit erratic in her behavior - but I guess that's to be expected when your boyfriend reveals he's an alien.

PPMS!

CHAPTER 17

Clark was watching the sunset, waiting for Lana to arrive. About five minutes later, he felt a tap on his shoulder. As soon as he turned around the feeling of warm, moist lips on his instantly overtook him. He closed his eyes quickly. Clark reopened his eyes when the kiss was finished. He looked down at Lana and grinned, anxious to take her to the Fortress but nervous as hell at the same time. His heart was beating a mile a minute, even though Clark already revealed the largest part of his secret to her. Lana was wearing a winter coat, gloves and scarf, while Clark was wearing his dark blue jacket with a black t-shirt under it and jeans.

“I’m ready, Clark.” Lana said biting her lower lip.

Clark smiled broadly and kissed her again with much passion. Lana put her hands on his chest and felt his heart pound. “Is the place where you’re taking me that big of a deal?”

“You could say so.” He paced around for about half a minute with Lana curiously staring at him. Clark then, sat down and motioned for Lana to sit next to him. Clark turned to Lana; “You…scared me at first, Lana.” Clark said rubbing her hand with his thumb.

“I know, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay…now. I love you Lana.”

“I love you, too Clark.” Lana cupped his cheek, and leaned in slowly to kiss him; Clark put his arms around her waist. He gradually moved away from her and stood up. He stepped over by the telescope and looked outside. The sun was finally down and the sky was black. Clark smiled and took in a breath of fresh air. He walked over to Lana and extended his arm. She grabbed his hand as he clenched hers. Clark nearly broke Lana’s hand from anxiety.

“Clark?”

“Yea, Lana?”

“Could you loosen your grip on my hand, please? It’s turning blue.”

“Oh! Sorry!” Clark told her, letting go of her hand.

“It’s alright, Clark.” Lana smiled and shook her hand. Clark continued on, but Lana stopped him and gave him a peck on the lips. “Relax, Clark. I told you I wouldn’t act like I did before.”

“I know.” He drew in a deep breath. He held out his arm this time so he wouldn’t break her hand. She gladly slid hers through and they continued walking.

“Clark? Where are we going?” She asked, wondering why they were going into the middle of a cornfield.

“You’ll see.” He grinned and led her into a clearing. “Alright, I’m not too good at this yet, but don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to you.”

“Wh-what are we doing?” Lana asked.

“It’s one of my abilities.”

“Are you going to super speed me there?!” Lana asked, eagerly.

Before Clark could answer, Lana jumped into his arms. Clark grinned ear to ear, “Lana, I’m not super speeding you there.”

Lana frowned when Clark suddenly tightened his grip on her, “Close your eyes, Lana.”

“What? Why?” Lana asked.

“Lana, just close your eyes.” Clark said.

“Fine.” Lana closed her eyes.

“No peeking.”

“I won’t Clark.” Lana said.

Clark licked his lips and bent his knees and muttered, “God, I hope I can do this.” Clark soon shot up into the air. Lana gasped with her eyes still closed.

“Can I open my eyes now?” Lana questioned.

Clark concentrated on the area ahead of him and didn’t pay any attention to what she was saying until he started to get the hang of it.

“Clark?” Lana asked.

Clark laughed a little, still looking ahead of him. “Sure, go ahead.”

Lana opened them and looked into Clark’s eyes. She didn’t pay any attention to the fact that she is in the air. Clark looked down at her, since there were no buildings for him to run into. He motioned his head for Lana to look forward.

Lana looked over, “OH MY GOD!” She lost her breath and tightened her grip around his neck. She buried her face in his chest.

“Lana, I was hoping you’d know that I would never let anything happen to you. I kind of wanted this to be a little more romantic.”

Clark heard Lana’s muffled laugh. “You okay?” Clark asked.

She revealed her face, “Uh huh.” She smiled and kissed Clark on the cheek. She looked ahead of her and back at Clark. “Where are we going?”

“I don’t know. I’m just going around.” Clark lied.

“Clark. I know that’s not true, where are we going?”

“Hold on, you’ll see.”

“To that cold place you told me about?”

“Nope. That’s second. Lana can you just enjoy the view until we are almost there?”

“Okay.” She kept staring at Clark, smiling, keeping her lips closed to keep from drooling.

Clark noticed Lana from the corner of his eye, “Lana? I thought you were going to look at the view.”

“That’s what I’m doing.”

Clark laughed. “I meant below us.”

“What’s the difference? A view is a view.”

Clark sighed. Lana once again didn’t notice that he wasn’t flying anymore but hovering. “Lana look down.” Clark said low enough for her to see everything he set up.

“Ok.” She looked down and saw a field with a bonfire. There was a large red blanket a few yards away from it. There was a small round table in the middle of the blanket with a vase in the middle with a single red rose in it and two chairs by around the table.

“Like it?” Clark asked.

“Love it.” She gave Clark another tender kiss on the lips.

He lowered himself to the ground and released Lana from his arms. “Wow. That fire is huge! How long did it take you to light it?”

“Ten seconds.” Clark told her arrogantly as he shined his fingernails.

Lana walked over to a seat as Clark super sped to her and pulled the chair out for her.

“Always a gentleman.”

“For you.” He smiled.

“Where is the food?” Lana asked.

Clark grinned. After Lana blinked, there was gourmet food spread out on the table.

“Wow.” Lana said observing the table. “The second dream date in a week.” Lana leaned over and kissed Clark passionately.

“Eat up.” Clark said rubbing his hands together. They both ate their food rapidly and stood up.

Clark and Lana stood in front of the fire. Clark put his arm around her shoulder as she placed hers around his waist.

“Hold on.” Clark super sped away and brought back a battery-powered stereo. He put it on Life house’s “You and Me” and stepped up to Lana. He extended his hand out to her, “May I have this dance?”

“Sure, why this song?”

“I kind of thought this was our song after prom.”

“It is now.” She gave him another peck on the lips and danced with him until the song came to an end.

Lana put her hands around Clark and kissed him. The kiss was slow and gentle at first but became more intense by each second passing by. Lana pulled away, her face red. “We have somewhere to go don’t we?”

“Hold on.” He put out the fire and held out his arms for her to jump into. “Let’s fly.” He smiled and darted into the air. Lana started kissing his neck, tickling him with her tongue.

“Lana?”

She continued.

“L-Lana? Y-yo-you need to stop b-before I fall.”

She stopped, “Fine.”

They were on their way to another clearing. Clark tried to make the landing as soft as possible.
“Why are we stopping?”

“You said you wanted to super speed there didn’t you?”

“I did.” She smiled and held on tight. They were in the caves in an instant. “Why are we here?”

“This is how I get to the arctic.” He held out his hand. “Don’t worry, I’m not nervous anymore, so I won't break your hand.” She grabbed his hand. Clark led her over to an area of the cave she’s never seen.

“Clark, what is this part of the caves?”

“It’s the part that transports me to the fortress.”

“The fortress?”

”That’s what I call it.” Clark smiled, crookedly and inserted the key quickly holding on to Lana. She squeezed his hand until they arrived in the fortress.

1st!! great update!!! loved it. PPMASAP!!

[redraven]

I might not be posting for a while because some OTHER authors of stories I like seemed to have quit. That is annoying the hell out of me, so until those authors post- I probobly won't.

[*~KrYpToN619~*]

I loved the 2 updates I missed! Sorry I didn't reply sooner. PPMS!

[eriii1]

[akuma]

Hey, I updated my fic, and Cardinal updated his. PLEASE give us more updates. I want to know what's happening at the FOS! PPMS!! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAASE!!!!!

Note: redraven, a few weeks ago I was having the same problem as you: none of the fics I was reading seemed to be updating - for various reason. That's when I decided to start reading more fics - yours included. I started reading every fic on the 1st 2 pages that had 4 pages or less so far. Now I'm reading a whole lot of fics. A few have ended, some have taken a break, but every day I find at least a few updates to read. So I suggest you expand the number of fics you are reading. If you have a lot of time, choose one of the longer running fics, with plenty of pages, & read all night to catch up. Just be sure you choose one that still updates & not one that hasn't updated in a long, long time. Or read one that is completed, like ajfiin's "This Time will be Different" or cardinal's "Lifetime of Tomorrows." Those were great fics. Everyone should be reading ajfinn's new fic, "HOT Off the Press", & Cardinal's "Bless the Broken Road" & "Reunion" - & if you get caught up on those, I have three fics going - HIDDEN being the one updated the most lately.(happy CLANA in almost every update) Expand your reading & enjoy the Clana. - SVsleuth

[deanyouk]
