A/N: The First part of this Chapter switches between Clark and Lois, to show what they were up to before the story kicks off. Enjoy!
Chapter One part One- The Past meets The Present :
It had been one year since she left Smallville and the small town was forever branded in her mind thanks to one person…Clark Kent.
Now she stood here staring at the crowd attending Lex Luthor's funeral, listening to the words of Lionel's own grievance in the death of his legacy, "Lex was touched with greatness. We'd only just begun to see that potential. I-I can only imagine the heights he would have soared to if his life ... hadn't been ... cut short so tragically."
A feeling swept over her, one she thought she'd never feel again. Her head turned and her hazel eyes locked with his broken pair of baby blues as he watched from a nearby pillar hidden from everyone else except for her as he listened to Lionel's word solemnly.
Lois turned away for just a second before to think before she walked through the crowd, desperate to see him one last time until she was faced with an empty spot where he once stood.
Clark Kent had vanished…
Kent Farm:
Clark had been in Smallville for more then five months following his brief stint in Metropolis as Kal, the so called ladies man and criminal.
Everything from then on had changed, his father was having heart complications and his conflicted relationship with Lana was beginning to strain…but that wasn't the only thing that was bothering the young farm boy, it was the article from the Daily Planet that laid out in front of him.
HAS BRUCE WAYNE FOUND MS. RIGHT? By Cat Grant
Below the headline was a small photo of Bruce Wayne dressed in his best Armani suit with his arm draped protectively around Lois Lane, who just leaned into whispering something into his ear which caused him to smile.
Anger and Jealousy began to boil to the surface, so he did the only thing that seemed to calm him…he continued his tune-up of the dark blue 1966 Ford Mustang coupe that Lois had surprised him with many years ago.
It seemed to him that the only connection left in this small town were his parents and this little car that was a fine piece of motor invention and speed.
One Year Later…
"I don't even know where to start. I know you must have a million questions, but I don't know how many answers I can give you. If you're watching this, it means I'm probably dead. You were always the one good thing in my life, I loved you like a sister and I know that you will find whoever did this to me and give him a good kick in the ass." Chloe's video image takes a time to pause so that she could wipe away the tears that had appeared with her laughter, "Lois, I know that being back here after everything that's happened is tough but I hope you and Clark can work together to succeed were I only failed in bringing Lionel Luthor down…you two are the only ones who can. I'll always be your little cuz and I'll be keeping my eye out on you as your own little journalistic angel."
Lois couldn't but smile at the last comment before the screen went blank, her eyes trailed over the now abandoned Smallville High Torch and the memories from the past caused her smile to only grow brighter.
"I wont let you down Chlo." Lois whispers to herself before she flicked off the light and walked off towards her car all the while trying to reach the last person she desperately needed to talk to…Clark Kent.
It didn't help matters that the resident superhero/farm boy had been MIA for the past three months with no sign of his appearance anywhere on the entire face of the Earth, all she had to go on were the old newspaper clippings she had spotted on the WALL OF WEIRD as well as several occurrences of alien activity that originated on the Kent Farm.
Her only hope dangled now on the shoulders of his parents, if she could ever reach them on the phone except of the answering machine which just played the happy tones of a loving family.
Even now as she sped down the empty dark highway with her cell phone nestled between her shoulder and chin, "Hey Mr. & Mrs. Kent, Its Lois…again. Just calling to see if you've heard from Clark or know where he is, cause I really need to speak to him about Chloe's case and I…"
Lighting strikes down in the fields causing an pulse to wave through the dark night causing Lois to reel back and watch as her cell went dead.
Lois sighed and set her cell back down in the cup holder saying, "That's just great"
All the frustration was getting to become too much for the young intrepid reporter, who just pulled her visor down and pulled out the single cigarette. Her hazel eyes locked with her own reflection in the mirror acting almost as the little angel on her shoulder compared to the nagging devil on her other shoulder.
"If you smoke this, you are gonna spend the rest of the night hating yourself. And Lois Lane doesn't give up." she says to herself while she quickly crushed up the cigarette and flipped the visor close as her hand went in search of that pack of Juicy Fruit that she had picked up from the general store on the main street of Smallville.
She had no time to react when the bolt of lightning crashed down in front of her causing instinct to kick in and the SUV to careen head first into the stocks of corn, once she stopped her eyes widened when the huge blindingly ball of light spread out towards her and imploded with huge energy that caused a small crop circle like to appear in the center while the energy caused stocks of corn to block Lois's front windows.
If the window hadn't been blocked, she would have seen orange bolts of electricity spread throughout the center of the flat circle forming the shape of a giant S, with the small fires to outline the S shape that soon disappeared and a man in the middle to appear huddled to the cold muddy ground in the fetal position.
Lois's caught sight of the man and soon rushed out of her car to attend to his aid, exclaiming "Oh my god" in the process.
She froze when she saw the naked man's backside as he rose to his feet and gazed around this new world studying the night sky before his gaze switched back to the endless rows of corn.
"A-Are you okay?" She asked while the man just froze as well with the knowledge that he wasn't alone but he remains silent until she asked, "What's your name?"
The man simply replied, "I don't know."
Lois froze once again at the familiar sound of the man's voice and one name escaped her lips, "Clark."
The man turned to face her and to her surprise, it was a very nude farm boy who she thought was lost.
"Look at his face…" she says to herself despite the fact that her eyes just drifted down lower, the years had been good since they last saw each other.
She slowly started to back away while saying, "I've got a blanket, don't move…" once she turns to head back to her car to retrieve said blanket, which just happened to appear as a cape once she draped it around his shoulders.
"Who are you?" Clark asks with his eyes staring at her with both intrigue and recognition as she turned and started walking the blanketed amnesic farm boy back to her SUV.
"My names Lois. Lois Lane." She says with a small smile while the confused Clark just sat in the backseat…quiet.
Kent Farm:
The door to the yellow farmhouse was kicked open and Lois practically dragged Clark into his childhood home while calling out, "Mr. & Mrs. Kent!" she only gets silence as her response.
"I'm not suppose to be here." Clark says cold and slightly robotic, which just caused Lois to roll her eyes and turn to face the blanketed farm boy.
"Well I'm not suppose to be here either, but knowing Chloe I'm sure she didn't plan this type of reunion between you and I." Lois says before turning her attention back towards the dark farmhouse where she was quick to grab Clark and drag him up the stairs where she hoped to at least clothe him before the temptation to rip off the blanket and make him remember her became all too empowering.
"I'm sure you know how to dress yourself." She says pointing towards the closet as he just stared at her still lost in the world around him.
"Your bossy." he states which just caused Lois to roll her eyes and push him into his room and shut the door.
"Just get dressed" she says through the door and only seconds later did Clark appear in the doorway dressed in a dark gray t shirt along with a pair of tight jeans and old bike boots he had acquired from Clark's brief stint in Metropolis as Kal.
"How's this?" He asks hoping that it would please her and by the look of both speechlessness and that small sparkle in her eyes was enough to signal that he in fact looked good.
The two slowly made their way back down the stairs, "First things first, we've got to find your parents cause I'm not about to baby-sit a 17 year old farm boy with amnesia while my cousin's killer walks away free."
"You talk a lot." He stated while he observed Lois from behind still trying to figure out how he knew her.
" Well, I'm just not very comfortable with uncomfortable silence, and you're not exactly keeping up with your end of the conversation." Lois replied and ended it with a curtly smile that soon grew to a genuine smile when Martha Kent appeared in the doorway almost speechless to see both of them standing at the bottom of her stairs.
"Hi Mrs. Kent"
TBC…
SO? How's it looking so far?
There will probably be more flashbacks in this chapter, so you guys could see what they went through before they were reunited. I've also got one special Clois scene that is reminiscent of a certain letter that a certain blonde reporter read to a sick farm boy but is a little more clois oriented. (Just take out Chloe and put Lois in her spot and also edit the little name he drops in his fever sleep) ;)
