Prologue

"Why are you doing this?"

"My girlfriend is meeting with other guys and I'm not allowed to be concerned?" Clark asked.

"First off, don't call me your girlfriend," Lois said.

"But you are my girlfriend," Clark protested.

"Secondly, I'm not just meeting other guys. Zod's working on RAO with Tess," Lois said.

"He's working with Tess, Lois. That alone scares me," Clark said.

"We work for Tess. Does that make us scary?"

"Lois, you don't know who Zod is or what he's capable of," Clark said.

"And you do?"

Without knowing his secret, Clark couldn't be completely honest with Lois. So for the millionth time, he lied. "No…but I know his type," he said.

"His type…yeah, sure," Lois said.

"Lois, just please listen to what I'm saying. He could be dangerous," Clark said.

"Listen to me, Smallville. I'm a reporter. This is what I do," Lois said. She grabbed her bags . She quickly leaned over to Clark and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "I'll see you later, Smallville."

Clark tried calling out to Lois, but before he knew it, she was gone.

\S/

He needed to relax. Dating Lois Lane was a job in itself.

So, for the first time off of red kryptonite, Clark went out for a drink. The only decent place he could think of was the Ace of Clubs.

He was currently sitting at the bar alone. "Well, I never though I'd see you again," a female voice said.

Clark turned around and saw Zatanna standing there. "Zatanna?"

"So, what are you doing? Drinking down all your sorrows?"

"I don't have any sorrow," Clark said.

"Sure, you don't." Zatanna said. She wasn't convinced. "Girl trouble?"

"I-," Clark began. What was the point in lying to her. "It's my girlfriend, she-."

"Girlfriend? I didn't know you had one," Zatanna said.

"Lois Lane. She's won-."

"Lois Lane? As in loud mouth mad dog reporter Lois Lane? Well, if you're into that sort of thing," she teased.

"Lois is great…most of the time," Clark said.

"But?"

"But…she's stubborn. She's putting her life in danger and she doesn't even know how bad things can get," Clark said.

"So, what do you want from here?" Zatanna asked.

Clark recognized that tone. "No. No. I'm not falling for that trick again. I know how that works," Clark said.

"No spells…I swear," Zatanna said. What Clark didn't see was that she crossed her fingers behind her back.

"I-. I just wish Lois would listen to me and do everything I say. Things would be so much easier," Clark said.

"Your wish…is mine to grant," she said.

"Uh-oh. This can't be good."
