A demon from the past
((Remember of the Mortal episode, with some changes I did))
When the Sheriff went to the Kent's farm, Lee, the guy with powers, grabbed Martha from her neck and she stood up limping, because her injuries from the last meteor shower.
Lee (to Jonathan and Lana): If you try anything I kill her.
Jonathan and Martha shared a worried sweet look. By his blue eyes, he was trying to calm down Martha, trying to say her that all would be ok, that all would have a happy ending. By her blue eyes, she was trying to say Jonathan that she would be fine, that she love him a lot, that nothing could change her feelings.
Just a wall separated the scene where Jonathan and Lana where trying to make the sheriff leave; from the one where Lee was taking his hand under Mrs. Kent's trousers.
She couldn't move to slap him; she couldn't shout to ask help to his husband; she couldn't scream how much sick that situation took her… if she did anything the man would get angry and would kill her before killing Jonathan, Lana… the sheriff… and sure that also Clark and Chloe when they come back. She couldn't… she couldn't risk all those life just for her honor… so she just cried. She let her tears run down her cheeks in absolutely silent while that man played with his fingers in her body.
Lee (whispering on her ear): Do you like that, ma'am?
She trembled while she felt his breath on her skin. He was as closed to her that she could feel his erect penis through the fabric of her and his trousers.
Lee (whispering on her other ear): … because I do.
Then he pushed her harder against the wall while his tongue tried to enter into her mouth… Martha tried to resist, but finally he did… he kissed her, and she felt herself dirty.
They listened to the door closing, the sheriff had gone.
While Lee, the guy, went to the door to kill the sheriff, who he felt that knew something, Jonathan went with Martha and found her sat down on the corner, crying and cleaning her mouth with her hands.
He kneeled down in front of her and caressed her bright red hair. Firstly she scared, but then she put her look up seeing Jonathan and hugged him.
Jonathan: It's ok… it's ok… I'm with you… what's the matter, dear? – he tried to seem cal but he could feel that something was really wrong, he knew that his wife didn't cry for anything.
But she didn't answer. Where the twins, who getting fun their selves, told Jonathan what had happened.
Twin1 (laughing): Don't worry man, she's fine…
Twin2 (laughing too): Yeah… she's just sad because they couldn't finish…
Jonathan (rising himself): Finish what!?
Twin1 (scared from the upset man): He was playing with her…
Jonathan: How!?
Twin2: You know… right there… there down…
Twin1 (laughing again): Yeah! With his fingers!!
Twin2 (laughing like his brother): Sure! And she liked it! She was crying all the time!
Jonathan, really upset, nearly mad, went out. Lana, who had listened everything, went near Mrs. Kent and helped her to stand up… then they hugged friendly until she get calm.
Outside Jonathan was just thinking on kill that fucking man.
Jonathan: Hey you!
Lee: Me?!
Jonathan: You will regret of what you've done to my wife…
Lee: I haven't done anything!
Jonathan: Of course you did!
Jonathan went towards him and threw the guy on the ground. At that moment Martha went out of the house too.
Lee: You do will regret of this! You'll die!
The man attacked Jonathan with his power.
Martha: No! - She run there and put herself between the guy and Jonathan… - Please! He's just some nervous… that was enough… - Her eyes were wet.
Lee: Ok. Let's go inside again! - He grabbed Martha from her arm and swept her with him – Come on Mr. Kent, I'm sure that you don't want me to be alone with your wife again! (He laughed).
When Clark finally arrived and the police came and all finished, Lee gave Martha a special goodbye…
Lee: We'll meet again, ma'am… we have something to finish - Just Martha listened to him.
(End of the remember)
After have lunch with Lionel in Metropolis, Martha went back to the Talon. They missed a waitress, so she had more work than always.
A woman's voice behind her shouted her name. It was Linda, her only helper of that day.
Martha: What's the matter, Linda? – asked her sweetly.
Linda: I know you have work… but I went to serve that table… that man on the corner… and he insisted that he wants you to serve him.
Martha: I'm sorry, sweeter… the coffee machine is broken and if I don't find what the matter is with it we will have to close.
Linda (smiling): Ok. I will try again.
But not many time later the young lady came back and said Martha that the man was getting upset.
Martha: Alright… I will go.
She went to the table of the corner. There was a blond-haired man giving his back to her. When she arrived there she bent down kindly.
Martha: Excuse me… what are you going to…
She couldn't continue at all… she knew that face… she knew that man…
The man: Hello ma'am… (he smiled) I see that you remember me…
Martha left the metal tray that she was carrying fall on the floor making an horrible noise and run away from there… She went to the back room and closed the door with the key. All the costumers watched at her except one, who was writing something on a napkin.
Linda followed Martha and tried to speak with her from the other side of the door.
Linda: Martha? Mrs. Kent, are you alright? Mrs. Kent, what's the matter?
While Martha didn't answer to Linda's worried questions, Lionel came into the café shocking with a man who went out running. When he saw the young waitress knocking the door he asked what was the matter.
Linda: It's Mrs., Mr. Luthor, she run into the room really scared and she didn't went out… she's been there for more than ten minutes.
Lionel (trying to don't seem nervous): Ok. Come back to work, I will calm her.
Lionel put himself close to the closed door.
Lionel: Martha? It's Lionel, dear, why don't you open me the door, please?
She did it, she was sitting on the floor, not crying, but nearly, and she opened the door without rise herself.
Lionel came in and kneeled down next to her.
Lionel: You don't need to say me anything, but I can see that you aren't ok, so I will take you home… ok?
She didn't say anything, she was like in shock.
Lionel took her hands and she followed him without say anything and with her look lost somewhere far away.
When they were outside the room Lionel ask her to wait a minute at the door while he spoke with Linda.
Lionel: What happened before she run into the room?
Linda: She went to serve a man who was sitting on that table… - she point the table of the corner.
Lionel: Ok. Listen, I allowed you to close the café earlier tonight, ok?
Linda: Great, Mr. Luthor.
Before leave the café, Lionel went to that table and took the note that the man had written:
"We are going to meet soon"
During the travel by limousine to the farm, Martha had been as quiet as before, with her head on Lionel's shoulder, while he caressed her head.
Clark saw the Luthor's car parking in front of the house through the kitchen's window. Then he went out to see what the matter was of his visit. Lionel was the first to go out the limousine.
Clark: Hi Lionel! What's the…
Before say hello to Clark, Lionel helped Martha to go out the car. She continued acting like a puppet, letting Lionel guide her movements, with her look lost and her mind out.
Clark went towards them and helped her mother to don't fall down.
Clark: What's the matter with her?
Lionel: I don't know, I went to the Talon and she was like that. Linda said me that all started with one costumer… he left this note.
Lionel gave Clark the napkin.
Clark: "We are going to meet soon"… what does it mean?
Lionel: I don't know… but obviously anything good…
They went inside and sat Martha down on the sofa. Clark prepared a tea and Lionel staid next to her, rounding her shoulders with his arm.
Lionel: Martha… I'm here to help you… but I can't if you don't tell me what's the matter…
Clark came with a cup of tea for his mother; Lionel took it for her and put it close to her lips.
Lionel: Come on, dear, drink a little…
Martha opened her mouth and Lionel put up the cup and she drunk a bit.
Clark: Great, mum.
Clark was sitting in front of her with his hand on her knee.
Clark: Now tell us what happened…
Lionel: We need to know what scared you…
Martha's look come back to her eyes… she look sadly at her son's hand on her knee, ten she turned to Lionel and look at his worried eyes…
Martha: He wants to hurt me…
Lionel (so sweetly): Who's he?
Martha: Lee.
Clark: Lee?! That man who run away from Bell Reve when I hadn't powers?
Martha nodded.
Clark: But the police took him, he's their again…
Martha: No, no… - she was very nervous – he isn't… he was in the Talon… I saw him…
Lionel: Are you sure that it was him?
Martha: I never could forget his eyes… it was him.
Lionel: So he left the note…
Martha: Which note?
Clark: This.
Clark gave Martha the note. She took it and did a look at the paper, then she let it fall on the floor.
Clark: Why he wants you, mum? I was who put him again on Bell Reve… he should be angry with me… not with you…
Martha started to cry and Lionel hugged her.
Martha: Please, don't let him to find me… please…
Martha finally get asleep on the sofa with her head on Lionel's legs. She hadn't tell anything to them yet.
Clark: We need to find out why he has come back, we need to know what we have to fight with.
Lionel: Sure… but we weren't there… and she didn't seem to want to tell us anything…
Clark: The only persons who were there with them were my father and Lana… I can't ask him… so I will have to meet Lana.
Lionel: Go, I will stay here.
Clark: Are you sure?
Lionel: I am. I will not leave her alone like she's now.
Clark: Ok. I will come back soon.
Clark met Lana on the Talon.
Lana: Clark… what's the matter? Why do you need to meet me as quickly?
Clark: It's my mum. She scared for something and I need to know what it is.
Lana: And how can I help you?
Clark: I need to know if Lee did anything to her when he had her, my dad and you kidnapped at the farm.
Lana get it immediately. She put her look down, and then she look at Clark worried.
Lana: I'm not sure that she wants you to know it, Clark… I can't…
Clark: Maybe you can't, but you have to tell me. Lee had gone out from Bell Reve, my mum had seen him, and she's sure that he wants to hurt her… I have to protect my mother, Lana… but I can't without knowing what happened.
Lana: Ok… the sheriff came and Lee took your mother with him while your father and I tried to take her out. When the sheriff left your mother was crying sitting on the floor, your father went with her, and the twins told him that Lee had been… "playing" with your mother. Your father got upset and tried to hit him, but Lee would have killed him if your mother hadn't put herself between them. Before the police took him out of the house he said something to her, I didn't listened him, but your mother staid a while with a really worried look.
Clark: And what do you think he could want from her now?
Lana: He's mad, Clark… maybe he want to finish what he started with her as a way of vengeance with you.
Clark came back to the farm. Her mum still sleeping at the sofa, but Lionel wasn't there.
Clark: Lionel?!
Lionel: In the kitchen, Clark!
Clark went to the kitchen and he found Lionel Luthor cooking the dinner.
Clark (laughing): Are you cooking?!
Lionel (laughing too): I am. I didn't want to wake up your mother, and I thought that you would be angry when you came back. I'm doing pasta… it's the only thing I know how to cook. So… what do we know, now?
Clark: He tried to rape her as a game that time… - Lionel stopped his work and watched at Clark totally surprised – Lana thinks that maybe he wants to try it again…
Martha: He does.
Martha had waked up and now was standing at the kitchen's door.
Lionel: Martha, dear, what are you doing here? You need to rest.
Martha: I have already rest enough… - she felt sick and nearly faint, but Clark arrived on time to catch her before fall down on the floor.
Clark: What was that?
Martha: Nothing… I'm fine. – she tried to smile – He does. He will try again… he said it to me…
Lionel went towards Martha and hugged her.
Lionel: Listen to me, dear, I will not let him, or anybody else who want to hurt you to, come close to you, ok? I will not… I promise…
Martha didn't say anything she just hugged him stronger and let her head lye on his shoulder.
Lionel left the farm when Martha get already asleep at her bed, and Clark spent the night at her mother's room because he was scared of left her alone, at least it was at the next room.
At the morning Martha woke up when somebody knocked the door. Her son was sleeping on the armchair and she kissed his cheek without wake up him. She put a dressing grown on and went downstairs. Lionel was at the door carrying a shopping bag.
Martha: What are you doing here too early? – asked her while she opened him the door.
Lionel: Can't I come to visit a good friend and invite her to a breakfast-picnic?
Martha (blushed and joking): Is that me?
Lionel: Well, I'm sure that Clark don't be really glad of come to a picnic with me… and instead that Shelby is a good dog I don't consider him a good friend, yet.
Martha laughed.
Martha: Let me a minute and I will get dressed.
Lionel wait on the living room and after a half an hour Martha came down again wearing jeans and a beautiful white shirt with left her shoulder nude. Clark came with her.
Lionel: Good morning, Clark!
Clark: Good morning, Lionel. So… are you going on a picnic?
Lionel: Yeah… I thought it's a good idea to distract Martha of any trouble.
Clark: Sure… have a good time, mummy – he kissed her cheek – Take care of her, Lionel – and he stared at the man who was opening the door to Martha.
They ride near the lake and stopped on the fields. There Lionel prepared all to have breakfast: muffins, chocolate cake, cream, strawberries…
Martha: Waw! There's nothing missing.
Lionel: Well… I wasn't sure of what was your favorite breakfast… so I take everything.
Martha took an strawberry with her hand and dipped it on the cream… she taste it first…
Martha: Mmmm… delicious – she smiled and then she took the strawberry with cream to Lionels lips – Taste it… - Lionel opened his mouth and after have the fruit in he sucked that pretty fingers.
Lionel: Delicious…
After some time they had already finished the breakfast and they were lying face to face looking at each other eyes.
Martha (so calm and with a pretty smile on her face): Lionel… what is between us?
Lionel: You know that you are a really special woman for me… between us there's what you want to be…
Martha: Here's the problem… What do I want?
Lionel: Only you can answer to this, dear…
Martha: I know that I feel you as something more than just a friend… but I'm scared of how can that ends if we do another step…
Lionel: You needn't be – he hold her hand – A relationship is a thing of two, not of one… and we are together on this, aren't we?
She smiled and suddenly kissed Lionel on his lips.
Lionel: What was that?
Martha: I want to do another step.
Lionel: Are you sure?
Martha: I am. – she realized Lionel's hand, and with put her both hands between them. Without say any word she let Lionel see how with one hand she put out her wedding ring of her finger, and how she put it in her bag – I thing it's time to continue my life.
Lionel smiled hold her hands and kissed.
Martha and Lionel had lunch at the farm with Clark. Martha, after eat, spoke with her son and told him that Lionel had been a great man with her, that she felt something really special towards him, and that she felt herself prepared to find out what that was.
Clark understood it, he told his mother that he had already noticed that there was something else than a simple friendship, he said her that she needn't worry for him because instead that he didn't trust Lionel at all, he know that the richer was doing his best to be a good guy with her.
After their spoke Martha went outside where Lionel was sitting.
Lionel: What did he say? Does he like the idea of our relationship?
Martha went with him and sat on his legs rounding his neck with her arms.
Martha: I have a good son… - she smiled – He said that he like see me happy, so he will not put any trouble to our relationship.
They kissed. Then Martha went to wash the dishes and Lionel went to the living room, where Clark was.
Lionel: I know it wasn't easy to you.
Clark: What?
Lionel: Say your mother that you accept our relationship.
Clark: Well… it wasn't… but I didn't lie her, either. I said the truth, instead I don't like it, I accept your relationship with her… because she's happy with you.
Lionel: Thanks.
Clark: So… - changing the way of the conversation – Did you discover anything about why is Lee out of Belle Reve?
Lionel: I have. I went there and talked with the doctors. They said that he's better now and that's the reason why he's out.
Clark: So it's absolutely true that she saw him, and he hasn't run away, they let him free.
Lionel: Right. That's because I don't want to let her alone. At the first time he tries to get close to her… I will put him on the worst prison of that country, and I will make sure that he will not be able to go out again.
Clark: But they have to do something if he's harassing my mum, don't they?
Lionel: Sure. I talked with them about that, and they said me that they need more clues.
Martha came with two cups of coffee on her hands.
Martha: What are you talking about, boys?
The two look at each other. They didn't want to let her any opportunity to remember bad things, so they tried to dissimulate.
Lionel: You – he said quickly – We were talking about you.
Martha: Really? – She asked while she gave one cup to each man.
Lionel: Yeah…
Martha: And what were you saying?
Clark: You can't know it… it's a secret… man things… - he joked.
Martha: Ok… Well, I must go.
Lionel and Clark (at the same time and shouting): Where?!
Martha: To the granary. I felt lick don't doing anything and I want to plant some rose's seeds I bought some days ago. I'm sure I let them there, but I will have to search them.
Clark: Ok, mummy. – he kissed her cheek.
Martha was looking for the seeds for more than ten minutes and they didn't appear. Then she remembered that she bought them after by some food, so she was sure that she missed the seeds in the kitchen.
She was going out the granary when she thought to see a shadow.
Martha: Who's there?
Nobody answer. She walked faster, but suddenly two arms grabbed her from her waist.
Lee: Have you missed me, Mrs. Kent?
Martha wanted to turned round and watch at him, but he didn't let her, he grabbed her harder and put his hand on her mouth to silent her.
Lee: You already know who I am, ma'am… let's go to have fun… I promise I will not hurt you if you are a good girl.
Martha couldn't speak… she was so scared but she knew that if she could do a noise, a shout… Clark would listen to her and he and Lionel would come immediately.
Lee pushed her against one of the columns and kissed her wildly while he tore her shirt with both hands, and after caressed her breast. Martha started to let some tears run down her cheeks. Then he stopped kissing her and, while with one hand he hold her two wrists, with the other one he wanted to undid her jeans, but she had her mouth free, now, so she shouted.
Martha: Clark!
Then he slapped her and she felt on the ground.
Lee: Fucking bitch! We could have a great funny time! – and he showed Martha he's hand full of light rays – I will kill you, and after I will kill your son too.
A minute before Clark was speaking with Lionel about what they could do to help her mother when he listened her shouting his voice.
Clark: Did you listen that?
Lionel: What? I didn't listen anything.
Clark: Mum…
And he run with his powers to the granary. He found his mother on the floor, with her shirt torn and crying, and Lee, stood up in front of her, trying to kill her with his power.
Clark: Hey, get away from her!
Lee: What I see! All the family together! Get you away from me or I will kill her!
Then Clark run against him and pushed him to the other side of the granary.
Lee: You hadn't these powers that time!
Clark: Right. But now I have them, and I will use them to kill you!
They fight a while, but Lee's power couldn't do anything against Clark ones.
Meanwhile Lionel had rung the police and now he was hugging a really scared and nervous Martha, who was crying on his arms.
The day after that Lee was in prison waiting the trial, while Lionel asked Martha to go with him on a trip with his private yacht. Firstly she didn't want to accept, but Clark finally convinced her and she went. A week later, when they came back, all what had happened became for Martha just a bad remember, a nightmare nearly forgotten, and Lionel had helped her to do it.
When they arrived to Smallville Lionel took Martha at home and they went inside touching up and kissing each other as if they were alone… but Clark was there, so he attracted their attention knocking on the table. They stopped a while and looked at him.
Clark (laughing): I see that your journey was really good!
Martha and Lionel (both at the same time, smiling, and looking at each other): It was.
Martha: It really was – and she kissed Lionel.
Clark: Ok… maybe I should leave and let you end your trip alone.
They both laugh.
Martha: It's not necessary, dear… Lionel have to leave because he have a business meeting in Metropolis. Don't you?
Lionel: I do. And maybe I should contract you as my new secretary.
Martha caressed his chin smiling.
Martha: It would be nice, but… you already know what use to happen between bosses and their secretaries…
Lionel rolled his eyes imagine bad thoughts, and caressed Martha's bum…
Lionel: And didn't you like it?
Clark (sarcastically): Ok, ok! That's enough, don't you thing? I can already imagine what you have been done during all this week at the sea.
Lionel finally left, but before he and Martha said to meet to have dinner later. And after have lunch with his son and told him all what she had seen those days, Martha left too to the café, because she had missed too many days and she have to put herself up-to-date.
One hour before close the café, Lionel rang Martha.
Lionel: Hi dear! My meeting will take more time than I though, so if you want to dinner with me we should meet at the restaurant.
Martha: Ok, don't worry darling, I will drive there after close the café.
Lionel: Are you sure? We can leave this for another day if you want?
Martha: It's fine, trust me! I really want to have dinner with you, and I haven't been in the city for too many weeks…
Lionel: Right. So… meet you at nine on the restaurant door.
Martha: Sure. See you later, love.
Lionel: See you later. Kisses!!
Martha was alone in the Talon, the last costumer had just left and she started to clean the tables. Somebody opened the door.
Martha: I'm sorry, it's close.
The man didn't answer. Instead of this he turned the key of the door and closed it.
Martha: Excuse me, what…?
The man turned round himself. Martha saw his blue frightening eyes and staid immobile a while. Then she reacted and run away to the back room where was the back door. It was Lee.
He followed her but he didn't run. Martha arrived to the door of the backside, but she couldn't open it, she was really scared.
Lee: It's useful, ma'am, I locked the door from the outside, I had had too many day to plan this while you were in vacations with your new lover.
Martha was as nervous, as frightened, that she broke down and started to cry.
She run towards him to try to go out of the room, but he grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.
Martha: What fuck do you want from me!? Get away, leave me! Please…
Lee took her hands and put them up against the wall. She couldn't move. He kissed her neck and then her mouth. She was crying harder trying to remove from him.
Lee: I want you! They had me shut up in that lunatic asylum without be able to taste any woman… and… Oh god! Before went there I was a really women lover… You were the first pussy I touched in too many years and I want to finish my job with you…
Martha: Fuck you!
She hit him with her knee on his balls, and because the pain he realized her hands and she run away. Then he threw a ray against her with his power and she felt down on the floor, screaming of pain. He took her from her shoulders and raised her, then he pushed her against a table and she felt on it with his back… For a while she felt too much pain to move and he took this moment to take away her blouse tearing it. Then she tried to raise herself, but he pushed her again against the table and slapped her on her breasts. She shouted.
Lee: It can be dolorous or it can be nice, Mrs. Kent. It's your choose.
He tried to put his hands under her skirt to remove her panties, but she kicked her and run to the bar to take the phone and call somebody, but he catch her again and push her to the floor, and then he helped her to stand up, and pushed her against, this time against the wall, and she felt.
She understood that she couldn't run away, and started to cry trying to think on a way to escape, while he went a while inside the back room.
When he came back Martha was trying to opened the knocked front door.
Lee: Are you going anywhere, ma'am?
He attacked her with his power again. He was carrying two ropes that he had taken from the room; he went towards Martha, he was nearly unconscious on the floor, he took her and laid her on the same table, and tied her hands to the furniture's legs.
Lee: Try to escape now, Mrs. Kent.
He took out her skirt and her panties, and then he caressed all her body from her neck to his foot, specially touching her breasts, which he slapped one time and another while he repeated "You've been a bad girl".
When Martha came back again, because she had been unconscious some minutes, he was licking her pussy.
She started to shout asking for help. He stopped his job, took Martha's panties, and muzzled her with them.
Then he went back to her pretty pussy and slapped it. Martha let one tear fall down for each hit he did.
Meanwhile, Lee was repeating one time and another "We'll have a funny time, we will…"
It was nine fifty and Martha hadn't already appeared at the restaurant where she had to meet Lionel. He started to be really worried because she always was so punctual, so he rang to the Talon with his mobile phone, but nobody answered. He thought that maybe she was coming to Metropolis, so he rang her to her mobile phone, but either nobody answered. Then he got really worried and decided to go there. He took his limousine and asked his driver to go the faster he could. Then he rang to the farm, but Clark had gone out with Chloe and Lois.
For a while Martha wished to die right there when she felt that man entering to her body, but then the telephone rang. She knew it was Lionel, they had to meet and she was being too late. He had to be really worried for her, and she was sure that he was going there.
Lee didn't seem to be worried about the phone, but she did about the mobile phone which rang in Martha's bag later. He removed himself from her and went to the bag and took the little telephone to see who was ringing. In the screen there was just a name: Lionel.
Lee: Who's Lionel? Is it your lover? Is Lionel Luthor?
Martha still muzzled, so he took away the panties of her mouth to let her answer. But she didn't.
Lee hadn't any patience, so, not wanting to repeat it, he grabbed each one of her breasts and gripped them, Martha shouted of pain because that really hurt. But she didn't answer.
Lee: Who fuck is that Lionel?!
Martha: It's not your business!
Lee (after slap her): It is if he's coming here. So tell me, is he Lionel Luthor, your lover?
Martha: Fuck you!
Lee shouted really impatient, took a knife and untied Martha from the table.
Lee: I'm sure he is! But it doesn't matter ma'am… I will finish my job instead of this!
He grasped her and pushed her against the wall. Martha try to get herself free. Lionel was going there, she could have an opportunity to stop that nightmare there… but he grabbed her hands bravely against the wall while he kissed her lips wildly and entered his penis again into her.
He was leaving a part of himself in her body when somebody started to knocked the front door.
Lionel: Martha! Martha!
Lee: Well… We have finished our job, and your lover is here to save you, so it's time for me to leave. – he kissed her – Don't worry… we will meet again.
He kissed her and removed from her. She let her body fall on the floor. She didn't want to live anymore, she want to die… because she would never forget that.
Lionel shoots the door and it opened. Martha was lying naked on the floor, crying hardly… Lee wasn't already there.
Lionel went towards her and kneeled down in front of that woman. He hold her hands and caressed her hair.
Lionel: Martha… dear… - he whispered trying to make her react, but she didn't.
He covered her with his jacket and took her on his arms and carried her to the limousine.
They first went to the hospital, but instead of some beats Martha hadn't any hurt, so, after doing the routine proves for rapes, they told them that they could go home.
Lionel tried to call Clark again, but he wasn't at home and he didn't have a mobile phone.
He took Martha to the farm, she hadn't speak yet, he was so worried about her.
After help her to have a bath, because she seemed to be absolutely empty of force, Lionel left Martha at the sofa.
Lionel: Stay here and I will come back with some clothes for you, ok?
But when he came back Martha wasn't there.
Lionel: Martha!?
He thought that maybe him had come back, he thought that maybe he had taken her with him…
But he found Martha in the kitchen, with a knife on her hand, nearly slashing her wrists. He run against her and hit her hand to make the arm fall on the floor.
Martha: What are you doing?!
Lionel: Me?! What fuck were you trying to do, Martha Kent? You can't kill yourself; you have a son who loves you! I… love you!
Martha broke down, started to cry, and let her body fall to the floor. Lionel did the same. They hugged each other.
Martha: Why are you crying?
Lionel: Because I did nothing to help you… I had to pick up you… If I had done this instead of ask you to come alone to Metropolis…
Martha: But it's done, now… we can't change the past… and nothing was your fault…
Lionel: But… Martha you tried to kill yourself!
Martha: It's ok. Don't worry anymore… I just forget for a while that I have more things that just this bad remember, in my life… but you remembered me…
Lionel: Did I?
Martha: You did… - Martha took his chin and kissed her softly.
Lionel: I will help you to face with all this, Martha… I will never leave you alone again…
They hugged, and kissed, and Lionel took Martha on his arms again, but they didn't go to the living room where he left her clothes, they went upstairs… where there was her bedroom.
THE END
