Authors Note: This takes place after Onyx in season 4. Spirit hasn't happened yet and Lana never talked to Clark in his barn. Dr Walden gave Lex information on Clark that is crucial to Lex learning about Clark. Lex is turning evil. And last Lex remembers some of what he did when he was split in two. Enjoy :o)

Lana closed up The Talon. It was 11 at night. She took a deep breath and sat back in a chair at the bar. She looked around at her surroundings. She admired the Egyptian theme decorations. She looked around at what she accomplished. This was her life, her safe haven. She had devoted so much time to this place. So many things had happened here, so many conversations and arguments. She realized how fulfilled she should feel. She should feel complete. But something was missing. A piece of her heart was missing. It didn't have to do with her parent's death or Nell moving because she had moved on from that. It was Clark. She realized she didn't see him as much as she used to. She noticed how she treated him, how she shut him out of her life. Jason Teague was not the one for her. He couldn't make her forget about Clark. Nothing could. She had to see him. She had this sudden urge to tell him that she was sorry. She shut the lights off, grabbed her keys and locked up. She started her car and with determination, sped off to the Kent Farm.

Kent Farm

Clark was in a white T-shirt and jeans sitting on his couch in the loft. He sat back and sighed. He felt relaxed and free. The night was calming. He heard soft footsteps coming from the stairs. He got up to meet who ever it was at the top of the stairs. He was expecting his mom or dad, maybe Lois. He got a surprise. Lex Luthor was there and not alone. He was accompanied by silver brief case, larger than most of the ones he had seen. Clark used his x-ray vision to see through it but he couldn't. 'It must be lined with lead' he thought. Clark was confused. Why would his best friend show up this late at night? What could be so important in this brief case that he had to have it be lined with lead?

"Lex…what are you doing here this late…what's in the case?"

Lex smirked and walked near the window. Clark stood in place worried. He shoved his hands in his back pockets.

"Why don't you leave the questions to me Clark…or is that your real name?" he said.

"What are yo-" Clark was cut off by an angry Lex.

"Clark, what do you think I'm dumb? Stop lying to everyone, stop lying to your self. I know you're not human Clark. I hate myself for being completely oblivious to this the whole time I've known you. Dr. Walden gave me a folder before he died. It contained all of his research about the caves and the theory that someone came here during the meteor shower. He knew how to speak the language. You do too huh Clark? Don't lie to me anymore."

Lex pulled out a piece of paper that contained kryptonian symbols and English letters translating the message. Lex started to read it.

"It says here that on day of destruction, the chosen one will take over the world. I have no doubt that will happen, Clark. I am here to stop it from happening." Lex stated.

"Lex now that you know I am kind of relived but I assure you I am not going to destroy the world." Clark said.

"Clark you should have told me in the beginning. I would have accepted you. You should have trusted me. But things change…people change."

"Lex…what are you getting at?" Clark said with curiosity and fear.

Lex opened the brief case and before Clark could do anything he hunched over in pain. Clark looked up and saw there was a gun in the case but it was glowing a green light. 'It must have kryptonite in it.' Clark thought.

"Meteor rock bullets…." He said gasping now on the ground.

"Precisely Clark. I found out these are your weakness when I split in two. I didn't forget everything." Lex laughed softly then continued. "Clark you will never rule the world because…I will." Lex took out the gun and aimed it at Clark. Clark closed his eyes. His last thoughts were his parents and…Lana.
