**Flash Back - Daily Planet** 2007
Lex Luthor sat in his container truck he had plans for the united lovers whom he hates so much. Lana his ex-wife who he believed had betrayed him in so many ways. Clark Kent his one time friend who was a chronic lair and more as far as he recalls. Never mind all the times Clark saved Lex over the years from being killed.
Lex sat in his custom environment chamber thinking about his sweet revenge. It just didn't get better than this either abandoned the bombs and save their relationship or deactivate the bombs and Lana would never be able to be within 10 ft of her love, it just doesn't get any better. He has waited for this day for so long he felt that he was finally getting his brand of justice. The hidden Nat router in the other truck sure fooled Clark and Lana, Lex wondered who blew the truck up. Lana stopped Clark from extracting his revenge so it wasn't them. There was another player on the board not accounted for not a good thing.
Lex reminded himself he had one more person to visit this night it would feel strange walking into a place he had known most of his life and now would be walking out of that place for the final time after he drained all the companies cash to his offshore accounts and took care of the matter of his father.

Kent Ranch - Late Fall 2009
Clark and Lana were planning on hosting the entire Justice League for Thanksgiving. The last time they had that group assembled on their ranch they had a surprise guest show up in the personage of Isobel. With luck there wouldn't be a repeat of that event this time.
Clark got up at 5:30 to start the prep work Lana was now 8 months pregnant and carrying low she was tired and wore out easily. Clark made an executive decision he was going to take care of getting all the prep work giving Lana an easy day. Besides there would be lots of hands in addition to Clarks to help today.
The only thing he didn't do was the pies Lana wanted to make. That was going to be her project, if she needed help Clark would be by her side in a heart beat. His plan was to only help if she asked him. Clark made a couple of ham and cheese omelets with hash browns. He was almost done when his cell phone went off Clark smiled “Good Morning Chloe, Happy Thanksgiving” he greeted his caller.
“So tell me is she ready to go to the hospital yet”?
Clark chuckled a little, “no not yet”.
“Well I told you, I didn't think this was a good idea and your going to go through with this gathering anyway. I hope she doesn't cast a spell and send you to a alternate dimension because its too much for her”.
“Chloe, do me a favor and don't put that idea in her head, ok”?
“Ok so you have everything under control”.
“Yes its all set up and ready for people to show up. I just finished the last of the prep work so all that remains is to cook it ”.
“Very good Clark I always told Lana you would make some lucky girl a real nice wife one day”.
“Hey wait a second”.
“I'm just kidding Clark you do so much for her every day she is so in love with you, just wait until the baby comes”.
“I know, is it strange that I'm as excited as Lana for the baby to arrive”.
“No Clark you just love her a lot”.
“Hopefully its soon, she is very tired of being pregnant, right now I do what I can to help her but she can be head strong sometimes”.
“Imagine that Lana Kent headstrong, just like her husband I hear”.
“Ok Chloe your on thin ice. I have Mom, Nell, and Dean coming in 40 minutes for breakfast so I need to go, ok”.
“See you in a couple of hours Clark”.
“Bye”.
Clark had forgotten until he was talking with Chloe that they agreed to have the in-laws and Mom over for breakfast. It would be good for Lana she hadn't seen Nell in a long time and well Clark imagined she could use the shoulder of someone she cares about to talk to and cry on. Martha had always been a surrogate mother for Lana, she spent most of her time in DC now and Lana didn't feel it was safe to go flying with a baby on board and the phone just wasn't the same as being there.
Clark quickly woofed down both omelets. He made coffee and then set the kettle on the stove for Lana's tea. The first guest of the day was due shortly, so he cleaned up the kitchen in super speed. Clark was sitting on the bar stool when he heard a car coming up the drive. He could tell it was his mom's car he would recognize it anywhere. Nell and Dean seemed to have very elevated heart rates, Clark would go the extra mile to make them feel at home.
Moments later he heard knock knock at the door he rose to greet his visitors. “Mom” he said as he hugged her. Clark hugged Nell and gave Dean a hearty hand shake. “Hey you guys its great to see you thanks for coming, what would you like I can make just about anything but Lana did say she wanted omelets for today”.
“So omelets and sausage or bacon” Clark asked?
“Omelets sound fine” said Dean with a smile “need help”?
Clark smiled “ok, sounds like a plan, before we start let me go wake Lana and see how she's feeling this morning”. “She's been having back pain the last few days and she has been getting tired as well so just be fore warned”.
Clark went upstairs to wake his lovely wife and soulmate. “Baby its time to wake up honey” he said as he sat on the side of their bed. Lana stretched like a cat waking from a long nap.
Lana had a smile on her face as she kissed Clark “you know what's the best part of being a kryptonian”?
“No baby what's the best part”?
“No morning breath” as she reached up for a kiss from her husbands delectable lips. “Wow Clark I feel a lot better today, I'm not nearly as tired as I've been in the last few days, think this might mean that the baby is coming soon”? She smiled at Clark crinkling her nose at the same time.
“You have me there I have no idea”. “We do have guests down stairs and they are wondering where my stunningly gorgeous wife might be hiding in this huge house”.
“Mom, Nell, and Dean” asked Lana?
“The same” answered Clark.
Lana put her hands behind Clarks neck, she smiled and asked “pick me up big boy”?
Clark laughed “you are so cute how could I ever say no”. As he picked her up from bed “every time I think I can't love you anymore you do some small thing and my heart grows with more love for you”.
“Right answer husband, if we didn't have guests down stairs I'd show you how much, right now”.
Clark made a puppy face and shyly asked “rain-check”?
Lana laughed “rain-check”. Clark put Lana down she super sped through getting dressed “give me a couple of minutes and send Mom and Nell up, we can have some girl time while you and Dean make breakfast husband”.
Clark returned to the kitchen “ladies give her a couple of minutes to get herself together and head upstairs she's expecting you”.
“Thanks Clark”, Nell gave him a kiss on the cheek as she headed up the stairs with Martha. 10 minutes later Lana led Mom and Nell downstairs they all looked happy. Lana's smile could have lit candles a mile away it was so wide and bright. (This telepathy thing works out great, food is ready mydear)Clark smiled at Lana.
Nell spoke up “I don't know how you two do it, you communicate more with a smile than most people communicate talking for hours, you both just flat out amaze me”. “I've seen other married couples who have that type of communications but they all have been married for more than 40 years”.
Martha smiled Nell “lets just say there special”.
“I believe that too” added Dean.
“Ready to eat” asked Clark?
Dean set the plates up on the breakfast bar Clark pulled out Lana's chair. Dean looked at the pair he walked over to Nell who seemed to be waiting and pulled out her chair too. Martha just sat down Clark and Dean were the last to be seated. Everyone was waiting for a prayer to be said. Clark was a little slow on the uptake “uh oh, Lord thank you for our family and the blessings they bring to us every day, amen”. Nice Clark, brownie points for you husband thought Lana. With out further comment they all dug in to breakfast.
After they finished they were sipping their drinks Nell spoke up “I can hardly recognized the place you two have changed so much of the old house or should I say your friends did, it was nice of them”.
Lana smiled “I hope you like what we did to the old place aunt Nell”.
“I'm just a little overcome with all the work done”. “Its very nice the colors you picked match so well its like you brought outside in with you, great job”.
“What's next for you two now that the baby is due soon, how's the Planet working out for you Clark”?
“Well I have a book due out this weekend about our experience, remind me before you leave I'll give you a pre-release copy”. “I'm considering giving up being a Senior Reporter I have been thinking about being a special investigative writer”. “Who knows if my book sells well, I might never have to work again we could be very wealthy from the book”. “Wait a second your a Senior Reporter”?
“Yes, I got promoted way ahead of everyone else the Pulitzer nomination did a lot to help but my follow on stories really made the promotion happen”.
“Wow Clark I had no idea”. “Talk to Dean about investments if you really want to make some money, Clark I hope it works out for you” said Nell.
“He'll be my second call ok”. During this conversation Martha had been quiet she was proud of Lana and Clark they had a very bright future ahead of them. Now with both Luthors gone hopefully things would be a lot easier for them. The group sat down on the couches with Clark finding the first game of the day, Clark turned up the sound a little.
Dean had a huge smile, the men were enjoying the game. Lana was trying to follow the game but her attention was drifting because it seemed Nell wanted her to be part of her conversation. Clark was watching Lana's reaction to the game action while seemingly being interested in what Nell was taking about. Clark nodded at Dean to get his attention on Lana as the Sharks made the first touch down of the game.
Lana jumped off the couch screaming “yea, that's the way you do it”!
Nell looked like someone hurt her “oh Lana I forgot you became a football fan in high school while you were dating Whitney”.
Lana wasted no time as the extra point was kicked and good, “no Nell I watched football and was a cheerleader during that time”. “I became a fan when Clark led the Crows to a State Championship”.
“Oh” was all Nell said Dean looked at his shoes as he said “let's all watch the game for a while”.
Martha figured with the men out of the way she could get the girls talking again, if she could get them to the kitchen to get going on making the dinner.
“Lana how about we get all the prep work done for dinner” suggested Martha.
“Clark took care of all that this morning mom I'm so lucky to have such a great husband”.
“Did he get the turkey ready too” asked Nell?
“Yup that too” said Lana “he even made up all the appetizers last night they are in the fridge waiting to be warmed up or cooked”.
“Wow Lana Clark really takes care of you” said Nell.
Martha smiled at her, Clark knew how to treat Lana. The boys spent the next two hours watching the game having a great time.
Chloe and Oliver were the next guests to show up followed by Bart, then Victor and Kathrine. They had invited many others (JLA & JL) but some had other plans and family commitments. There was a new guy from Gotham he had sent his regrets, he had someone to talk to about the rest of their life's together if she would have him. Funny thing about Bruce, he held the belief that a hero lived a solitary life but that was before he met the super powered couple, he quickly changed his tune. Wonder Woman showed up with an Air Force officer on her arm.
By noon time they had a full house, they brought wine, more food, and home made specialties, could the day get any better. They sat down to eat at 3PM by then Nell had become everyone's best friend she had way too much to drink Dean was planning on spending the night at the Kent farm he had no plan's to drive back to the city defiantly not with a drunk Nell. The one who had no use for a drunk Nell was Dianna Prince she couldn't stand women who couldn't hold their liquor and Nell had gotten on her nerves.
Diana cast a sleep spell on Nell she fell asleep in mid sentence Lana actually laughed when she got Diana alone later she thanked her for putting her aunt out for the night, they both had a good laugh. Zantana was the late arrival she made it around 5:30 pm she got fed and Bart took to hitting on her. Zantana and Lana were thick as thief's by this time they spent a lot of time together.
Lana begged her to go easy on Bart he was a good guy after all just needed a little training to shine through. Zantana laughed at the idea of training a guy “hmm that could be a good thing” she giggled with Lana. Bart never knew what hit him.
Dessert was served around 7 pm everyone had a little of this and that Lana cheated using her heat vision to warm up a couple of things. Clark about had a heart attack when he saw her using her powers but calmed down because he realized if anyone said something her magical abilities would be used to replace those memories with something else.
Lana's thoughts popped into Clarks head (whats going on honey I can feel your anxiety level rising)?
(I'm still uncomfortable with civilians seeing you use your powers it seems even though I know you can wipe their memories or have them forget the last few moments it still makes me uncomfortable).
(Well the warming oven was full of other treats so the simple thing was to use heat vision at low power).
(Ok I'm fine I just had a moment there sorry). Clark came over and laid a hot kiss on his wife to cat calls from their friend in the kitchen. “Come on guys were married I even have a piece of paper to prove it too”.
“I don't know Clark you could open a school to teach the other boyfriends and husbands how to plant hot kisses”.
“Oh geese” said a quickly turning red Clark “thanks Chloe I really needed that”.
Lana gave Clark a squeeze “oh my poor baby your so cute when you turn flustered red” as Clark added a few new shades of red. “Ok I've been abused enough for the day, I'm returning to Dean at least he won't embarrass me any more than you guys”.
“Oh honey” said Lana “still love me”?
“Always” answered Clark as he left the kitchen.
Gathering a few “Ah's” from the women hanging out with Lana. “I'm so lucky” said a smiling Lana. Martha watched the whole scene play out they are so wonderful with each other Clark is one lucky boy she thought. They are the perfect couple.
Martha had gotten very worried the day she got a call from Lois saying she was moving in with Clark and how much she loved her son. Thank God that was over Martha would rather see her son married to a man than Lois Lane, boy talk about a mismatch. Talk about a mothers worse nightmare.
Her Clark and Lois Lane, Martha still shudders at the thought of them as a couple. What would he ever see in a girl who has issues with keeping her pants on, certainly not Clark's type of girl. Lois is the girl boys never take home to Mom. Thank God for Lana and Clark getting back together and their curse being lifted.
Lana was talking with Zantana and Martha all of a sudden Lana gets an intense look of pain on her face “oh my God” Lana takes several short fast breaths “oh man that hurts”.
Martha is about to call Clark when he walks into the kitchen “what's wrong baby”?
“Ugh damn braxton hicks contractions”. “I've had them on and off today this one was sharp, real sharp”.
“Do we need to summon the special team”?
“Until my water breaks I think its pointless and it would take a lot of people away from their family's on a holiday I would rather wait if at all possible”. “I think the non medical term is false labor”.
“Hey Oliver put a hold on that call” said Zantana.
Oliver now joins the group in the kitchen “ok call them or don't call them”?
“Oliver not yet” said Clark “its false labor we have been dealing with this for weeks now Lana just needs to chill for a while”. “Baby you want to go upstairs or pick a place on the couch”?
“Couch sound fine to me Clark I do want to see everyone and still want to be part of this party if it gets to be too much I'll let you know, ok”.
Clark picked Lana up in his arms “oh little baby calm down please don't kick mommy's kidneys, Clark put your hand on my stomach you can feel the baby kicking”.
“That is so cool”. Now everyone wanted a turn feeling the baby kicking so Lana put up with the group feel. Soon as Clark got her settled on the couch the baby stopped making Lana's kidney a punching bag. Lana was a happy camper she had a great day with everyone she was proud of Clark he had mostly pulled the thanksgiving dinner together by himself.
Martha was even impressed that he did all the prep work and had everything ready just needing to be cooked. Nell was impressed too at least until she annoyed Wonder Woman and found herself under a sleep spell. Dean enjoyed the break from Nell and spent a lot of time talking to Oliver about Queen Industries. All in all this was one of the best Thanksgivings most of the team ever had Oliver nominated the Kent Ranch as the home of the teams thanksgiving celebration.
Lex Luthor sat in his container truck he had plans for the united lovers whom he hates so much. Lana his ex-wife who he believed had betrayed him in so many ways. Clark Kent his one time friend who was a chronic lair and more as far as he recalls. Never mind all the times Clark saved Lex over the years from being killed.
Lex sat in his custom environment chamber thinking about his sweet revenge. It just didn't get better than this either abandoned the bombs and save their relationship or deactivate the bombs and Lana would never be able to be within 10 ft of her love, it just doesn't get any better. He has waited for this day for so long he felt that he was finally getting his brand of justice. The hidden Nat router in the other truck sure fooled Clark and Lana, Lex wondered who blew the truck up. Lana stopped Clark from extracting his revenge so it wasn't them. There was another player on the board not accounted for not a good thing.

Lana was a happy camper she had a great day with everyone she was proud of Clark he had mostly pulled the thanksgiving dinner together by himself.
Martha was even impressed that he did all the prep work and had everything ready just needing to be cooked. Nell was impressed too at least until she annoyed Wonder Woman and found herself under a sleep spell. Dean enjoyed the break from Nell and spent a lot of time talking to Oliver about Queen Industries. All in all this was one of the best Thanksgivings most of the team ever had Oliver nominated the Kent Ranch as the home of the teams thanksgiving celebration.
