The Secret in a Necklace

Disclaimers: I do not own Smallville, the show belongs to the WB and their creators. Superman of course belongs to the comic book company that started the whole thing.

Author Notes: This takes place after the Prom episode, but I can't remember the title of it. Anyway it will also contain the episode when Clark loses his memory but everyone else just loses a few minutes of it. And parts of later episodes if something turned out just a little different. So this will be AU.

I also know that many others have written some like this, but it's my own special twist. Enjoy!

Chapter One

After speaking to Chloe Sullivan about what Clark Kent, the man of mystery might have to offer. Lois Lane for some odd reason it bothered her to see Clark dancing on the floor with the love of his life, Lana Lang. She didn't want to admit it but she was fond of Clark Kent, the boy she called Smallville. She also noticed that his parents, Martha and Jonathan Kent were dancing on the floor as well.

She sighed heavily and stood up. She was dressed in pink after being possessed by some girl named Dawn. And she was forced into a pink dress and her hair pulled up, but Lois shook her head as she began walking out of the school's gym. Chloe just watched her older cousin walk out, but she didn't even say a word and got up.

Chloe figured she would stay behind as she thought of what just occurred down below. She had seen part of the things that Clark was hiding from her, and it made her wonder why he kept it such a big thing. But in time he would tell her and she would find out all the answers she seek from her man of mystery.

She then noticed Clark's expression change from a face of sheer happiness to concern. Lana looked up at him but Clark began looking around the gym for a sign of something he was hearing. "Excuse me Lana." With that said Clark went in search of the tears he was hearing falling from someone, from someone in the distance.

Lana then walked over to Chloe and sat down at the table. "Do you know where he was going?"

Chloe shook her head, "I don't know. I don't think any of us will really ever know the true extent of Clark Kent."

Lana smiled, "I guess I have to agree there." Lana paused as she looked around, "I saw Lois, did she go off somewhere?"

"Probably went back to the house," Chloe told her as if it was nothing to worry about. "Lois is a stubborn mule, this really isn't her scene anyway."

"I guess," Lana smiled not really sure why Clark would leave during their dance.

Meanwhile Clark searched the hallways and there was a girl dressed in pink. He knew who it was but why was she crying. He used some of his speed to catch up to her and got a hold on her arm. She turned to look up at him and Clark saw something he wasn't familiar in Lois Lane's eyes. Why would she be crying?

"Lois?" Clark called softly to the feisty brunette who just put on a smile for him. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, Smallville," Lois replied as she shrugged. "Why wouldn't I be?"

"You're crying," Clark then wiped another stray tear that was falling down her face. Lois looked up at the boy she had learned to love to tease and she was seeing another side of him on her.

"Thank you captain obvious," Lois said as she pulled away from him. "Why aren't you dancing with Lana?" Lois mentioning as she could hear the song playing in the background. "The prom isn't over yet, at least not for another few hours."

"I, well…I just wanted to check up on you," Clark told her with a smile. But then he saw something in her eyes that he never noticed before…in her eyes it was almost as if he could see the stars of all of the galaxies that might be out there. "Dance with me…"

Lois looked up at him confused; she could barely hear the music. She saw Clark holding out his hand to her and she figured, "Why the Hell not…" She took his hand and they began dancing in the hallway, but little did she know that Clark could hear the song pretty well even at their distance.

For the first time Clark Kent felt safe, for some odd reason he felt safe. He being the guy should be the one to make the girl that he held safe, but he felt safe. Despite all of their fighting and other antics of teasing, he felt safe. Little did he know, Lois was feeling safe in his embrace…strange that she would feel it with a simple farm boy. She held a small smile as they gently swayed to the music in the background.

Clark knew at that moment he could trust Lois, he could REALLY trust Lois. So he pulled away from her, "I want to show you something." Lois tilted her head but Clark picked her up into his arms. "Hold on…this will be the first time I've done this with someone…"

"Clark," before she could finish the thought forming in her mind they sped off. Lois saw everything a blur, she could not figure out what was going on but there was a huge thrill passing through her body. In matter of seconds they were back on the Kent Farm but only until he brought her to the cave with all the markings.

Clark gently placed Lois down on the ground, her feet touched but she felt a little uneasy. Clark was helping her stand at this point; she turned to look at him with surprise. "How?"

"If I tell you, will you promise not to tell anyone," Clark said sadly. "The last person I told this too, he ended up moving away from Smallville."

"Whatever you are going to tell me will not scare me away," Lois told him with her hands on her hips. Clark looked over at her with his deep blue eyes into her brown. "So tell me, I'm waiting."

"I'm not from earth," Clark told her. "I'm from a planet called Krypton, I was sent here in order to basically live on after the planet exploded."

"So you're a real life genuine alien," Lois said sarcastically. "I'm going to need more proof." Lois crossed her arms and Clark sighed. He looked for something and then saw a rock and used his heat ray vision to turn it extremely hot and then it exploded, "Ok, ok!" Lois dodged for of the pieces but was blocked by the super fast Clark. "So, now that I believe you have special gifts."

"Gifts?" Clark asked looking at the brunette.

"Well, I figure it this way. We all special talents and gifts, why should this not be labeled as such," Lois asked as she tilted her head. Clark couldn't find a reason to argue with her. "It must have been such a burden to keep them hidden. I mean, you played on the football team…you couldn't run as fast as you are capable of."

"Well I have other…gifts," Clark said softly and Lois looked up at him.

"Like?" Lois inquired as she sat down on a rock that look stable in the cave. "Don't blow this up on purpose." Lois warned and Clark let out a small laugh and knelt in front of her as he got the courage to tell her the secrets that he had been holding.

"I have super strength that is why I do a lot of the work on the farm with no help. I can see through things…"

"What?" Lois arched her eyebrow, "You haven't been peeking have you?" Lois looked as if she was going to smack him right now but Clark held his hands in defense.

"Lois, I promise I didn't peek at you!" Clark said in his nervous tone. Lois believed him but then she asked, "What about Lana?"

Clark blushed, "I didn't peek at Lana either."

"Ok then, what else do you have?" Lois asked as she motioned for him to continue.

"Hearing, that's how I could tell you were crying even though you were away from the gym," Clark told her. "I can kind of sort of fly, but still working on that one."

"Ok, then why bring me here," Lois asked as she looked around the cave.

"Well, you are going to say Smallville is weirder than what you originally thought," Clark told her.

"Try me…"

"Well, this cave holds my biological father's spirit. His name is Jor-El, lets just say we don't always see eye to eye." Clark sighed as something glowed around Lois's neck. The two both looked and there was a necklace with a pendant there. It was a short necklace as the pendant rested in the center of her collar bone.

Lois looked him and Clark looked at her, "Where did this come from?"

"I don't know," Clark replied but then a voice would interrupt them.

"I did," the two stood to their feet. "Do not be afraid young Lois, I am the spirit of Jor-El."

"Ummm, ok," Lois said with an arched eyebrow. "This is officially beyond weird."

"The pendant is a gift child, my son; Kal-El has chosen a lovely maiden to share his secrets with. It will gift you with certain powers in only time of need to help Kal-El." Jor-El's voice took a pause, "You have chosen well."

"What did he mean?" Lois asked as she looked over at him.

"I don't know, but I don't like the part that he has given you something to have powers," Clark replied.

"Well, he said in time of need." Lois said as she touched the pendant that she could barely see. "Anything else you want to fill me in?"

"Ummmm…" Clark rubbed the back of his hand and Lois just smiled. She grabbed his arm, "Let's go home Smallville."

"Sure," Clark smiled as he walked at normal pace with Lois back the house. They would go up to the Loft as they talked about both of their pasts. Clark spoke of the difficulties growing up with powers. His pretty simple life on the farm and Lois talked about living with the General and having a rebellious younger sister. The two laughed, shared jokes, and of course their constant teasing.

"Clark?" Martha called out for her son. She had arrived with her husband at the end of the prom. The two had wondered where their son had gone off to, but then they saw a dim light from the Loft. The two quickly went up to see what was going on. However the scene they would see before them would bring smile to their lips, Jonathan went to go get a blanket.

Martha then got a small camera and took a picture. Clark was one of the arms of the couch and Lois was lying on top of him. If anyone were to come in here and see them, they would assume they were a couple. It was interesting to see the two usually verbal sparring in such a comfortable position. Then she noticed something around Lois's neck.

"Jonathan," Martha called softly as he had found a blanket. He placed it over the two sleeping figures. "Look at Lois's neck…"

Jonathan looked and saw a small pendant that held a symbol off of Clark's spaceship. "Where did she get that?"

"That is what I would like to know," Martha stated as she crouched down to examine

it. "Do you think Clark told Lois?"

"I don't know, Martha." Jonathan wrapped an arm around Martha as she stood up. "This will make things interesting in the morning."

"I guess we can wait till then," Martha said as the two went to turn in for the night.

Morning came quickly but the waking couple was in search of Lois and Clark. But they heard laughter and looked outside to see, Lois on a house with Clark riding with her. Lois was freaking out about horse riding but Clark was holding onto her as he let her hold onto the reigns.

"Now, that is something you don't see everyday," Jonathan said with a smirk. "I wonder how long that will last before we begin hearing all of the arguments."

Martha sighed, "She is good for him. I just wish he could see that."

"What do you mean," Jonathan asked.

Martha once again sighed, "Maybe Lana shouldn't be the one he should be chasing."

Clark and Lois got off the horse. Lois was taking the horse back to the barn as Clark came into the kitchen, "Hey mom!"

"Hey you were up early today," Martha said with a sly smile.

"Well, last night I told Lois that I would get her on a horse and take her for a ride," Clark said with a shrug as if it was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Where did you go," Jonathan asked as he was eating breakfast at the table.

"Just for a ride," Clark said as he was handed some breakfast by his mother. "It wasn't that far, I had to kind of rush Lois in the shower."

"Yeah, Smallville you were lucky I wasn't on the verge of killing yea," Lois said with a smirk.

"That wounds me Lois, you are the one that would not wake up," Clark reminded.

"So you use your heat ray near me," Lois arched her eyebrow. Martha and Jonathan looked at each other in surprise. But listened in intently, "I mean, just because you have extra gifts doesn't mean you can use them against me all of the time."

Clark held his hands up in surrender, "I didn't burn anything, just warmed it up."

Lois shot him a dirty look, "I'm going to get you back later."

"How Lois," Clark asked with a smirk on his voice. "Remember I do have an edge?"

Lois pointed at the pendant, "Make sure you stay in line, I don't want to ever have to use this."

"I still don't like the fact you can't take that off," Clark said with concern.

Lois shrugged, "Just means I have a way of kicking your ass when you are not behaving."

"Lois," Clark said in a deep warning tone.

"Just make sure you stay out of trouble," Lois said as she sat down to eat breakfast. Martha joined the table but the two were too busy sparring each other with their eyes that they did not notice the older couple.

"So you told Lois," Jonathan asked casually causing the two to look at him in surprise. "How did she get the necklace?"

"Jor-El gave it to me," Lois replied first as if it was nothing. "He said that only in times of need, I will be able to have powers. As long as Smallville stays in line, I don't have to worry about it."

"Lois, I once had powers and …"

"It caused you heart problems," Lois finished for him. "I know there is some kind of risk having this. But he also told Clark that he was wise in choosing me, I still have yet to figure that one out."

"Don't want to fry a brain cell for you thinking about it," Clark said with a smirk and got a toast in his face. "Very mature Lois."

Lois stuck out her tongue as she went onto eating breakfast. Clark shook his head and the couple just watches the two eating away. Then Martha spoke up, "Lois will you go to the Talon today? It's going to be a bit busy for a while."

"Sure, Mrs. Kent," Lois said with a smile.

"We are going to Metropolis for a few days," Jonathan replied. "I need to go have a check up on the heart."

"So that means you and Lois need to keep the Kent Farm running without killing each other," Martha told the two. Both saluted the couple as they ate in silence but with smiles.
