Clark was watching horrified as Chloe went inside the still burning building. Two seconds and the whole place blew up. A girl by the name of Lois Lane was about three feet away from Clark also watching. "NO! CHLOE!" She screamed and got up to run in and find her baby cousin.
Clark saw this and quickly ran and grabbed her arm gently. "Don't." He said his voice a little hoarse from the start of watery eyes.
Lois turned around with tears streaming freely down her face. "W...w...w...who are y...you?" She stuttered as she sniffled through her tears.
"My name is Clark Kent. I..."
Lois cut him off. "Oh." She wiped her eyes just enough to really see him. "You're Chloe's best friend."
"How'd you know that?"
"I'm her cousin. Lois Lane. We tell each other everything. She always talked about you."
"That surprises me. She never mentioned about having a cousin."
"I don't really like being talked about, so I asked her not to."
Clark nodded in understanding. An officer came up. "Miss Lane?"
Lois and Clark looked at the man. "Yes?"
"I'm sorry. But your cousin is nowhere to be found." He said and walked away.
Lois couldn't take that information and broke down. Clark teared up, but thought he needs to be strong for Lois. She is Chloe's cousin after all. He pulled Lois in for a hug and she broke down more into sobs. She held on to him for dear life. *Why do I feel so safe with him? I just met him.* She thought through her sobs. *But I don't care. I like it.*
Clark rubbed her back then pulled away just enough to look at her. "Why don't you come to my place tomorrow. You can stay as long as you like." He said then quickly wrote his address on her arm with a pen. "It's a big farm. You can't miss it."
"Ok." She said and Clark turned to leave. "Clark?"
He turned around. "Yes?"
"Could you help me find out who did this and why?"
"We'll try our best. See you tomorrow night." He said and left quickly.
