Prologue
Jonathon and Martha Kent were traveling on the highways that lead to their farmhouse on the outskirts of the small town in Kansas known as Smallville when the meteor shower hit. Jonathon and Martha were forced to stop their vehicle and it rolled when they came too close to being hit by a meteor.
At that time in the cornfield, a little boy had just lost his hair by being too close to a meteor that hit the ground in front of him. His father was desperately trying to find him, and a spaceship landed in the same field.
The boy's father, Lionel, found Alexander (Lex) Luthor; and out of the small spaceship, a little girl climbed out after wandering away from it, she found the two Kents trapped in their truck. She pulled the door right off Jonathon's side of the truck when trying to open it. The Kents escaped their truck and followed the dark haired blue-green eyed girl back to her space ship. Martha Kent scooped the child into her arms immediately. Jonathon received a frightened look from his wife; but the two instantly came to a decision. Both had fallen in love with the little girl right away and wanted her for their own. Mr. and Mrs. Kent were unable to have children and this little girl was the answer to their prayers.
The Kents did manage to get their truck flipped back over and were driving it along the highway when they came across a desperate looking curly brown haired man clutching a small boy whom had lost most of his curly bright red locks and losing what was left. The man was begging, "Please, please help my son."
Jonathon pulled over. Martha scooped the grey afghan wrapped little girl off the middle seat into her lap so that the man and his son could climb in and sit where Martha had sat. Martha and Jonathon held hands all the way to the hospital; their child reached out her hand brushing their young visitor's face. They dropped Lionel and Lex Luthor off at the hospital then made their way home to see what they could do about adoption papers.
Lex Luthor grew up believing that the world was his for the taking and shaping the way he wanted to. Little Claire grew up believing in the good humanity could do. While Lex was learning what it was to be a Luthor, Claire was learning what it was to help others and to share. Lex was learning the value of power, while Claire was learning the value of love.
So, it was no wonder that on that fateful day when twenty-one-year-old Lex Luthor drove off the side of the road, and hit Claire with such force that Claire, the car, and Lex, trapped in said car, plunged into the river; and fifteen-year-old Claire saved Lex's life, that a timid friendship formed. From there Lex Luthor became obsessed with Claire in more ways than one; when she turned sixteen, a crush was formed and he tried to protect her. By the time, she was seventeen a small relationship had begun. Then when she was eighteen and in her senior year of high school, he dumped her and told her that he was now her enemy; all because she was unable to tell him her secrets; not realizing that she had wanted to, but had been told by her parents not to.
The night Lex Luthor dumped Claire, was the night Claire's heart was broken into small fragments that her friends tried to put back together. Pete Ross, one of Claire's best guy friends who came second only to Lex, moved away not long after that as he had accidentally discovered her spaceship and therefore learned her secret; and he couldn't take being a secret keeper.
Chloe Sullivan, one of Claire's best gal friends, had also accidentally stumbled upon Claire's secret but swore loyalty to Claire and didn't feel the need to move feeling confident that she could protect Claire better by being closer to home. While Lana Lang, another good friend of Claire's, knew Claire had a secret; but not what the secret was and constantly pressured Claire into telling her the secret.
After Claire refused one too many times, and Lana figured out Chloe and Pete knew, Lana blew a fuse and said, "You, know I can see why Lex dumped you." Claire felt her already broken heart shatter into even smaller pieces with the mention of Lex's name.
Lana continued, "And I didn't want to tell you this; but he's been asking me out. I turned him down every time; but now I am beginning to see that I should take him up on the offer. Lana then left the loft of the Kents' barn; she never looked back. If she had, she would have seen a broken and run down Claire Martha Kent.
