Part 1
The sun shone down brightly over the Kent Farm. Inside the farmhouse, Clark finished the last of his eggs and smiled appreciatively at Lana. Finally, they could be perfect. For years their tortuous on-off relationship had tormented him. He had decided that soon, he would reveal his secret to her. He knew they weren't the same people they used to be but he had to give her a chance. Clark took the dishes, placing them into the sink. He glanced at the clock and walked over to Lana, giving her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"I've got to go sweetie it's almost 10:00. I have to meet Mr. Fenwood to make arrangements for my mom's return. Her term is almost up. Thanks again for breakfast "said Clark. Lana looked a little apprehensive but he ignored it.
"It will be great to get some of your mom's cooking again." she said. Clark grabbed his jacket and as he said
"You're telling me Lana, I miss her apple pie so much." With that he grabbed the keys and left. Normally he would have just ran but now that Lana was living with him he had to mask his powers. He didn't mind and besides, soon it wouldn't matter. He watched at as the speedometer hit 60 and reflecting how slow it was. Ten minutes later he was parking the pickup in "downtown" Smallville. He met Roger Fenwood, of Luthercorp (courtesy of Lionel), at the Talon. They worked out a few final kinks for his mother's return to Smallvile. As Fenwood left, Clark ordered a glass of water while a familiar voice greeted him.
"C'mon Smallville, Water! I am so unimpressed"
Without turning around Clark fired back "Hey well at least I'm not a jittery caffeine addict"
"I am not an addict! I just like a cup of coffee now and again" Lois replied indignantly.
"And if by 'now and again' you mean ten times a day, then sure thing Lois." She sat down across from him and of course, ordered a coffee. They got to talking about life while trading banter. Lois lamented that Chloe and she were now living in metropolis and unable to sample the Talon's coffee more often and Clark lamented that Lois was in Smallville.
"You are definitely happy I'm in Smallville, Smallvillle." Lois exclaimed. They kept talking and the conversation turned towards the infamous Lucy Lane. She had been dating a captain in the army for about a year and had begun to get pretty serious. However he unexpectedly left one day, leaving Lucy heartbroken. She had found in his drawer a letter dated three months prior detailing orders, making him leave the country.
Lois said "You'd think that he would have told her, rather than keeping it a secret. She deserved it; she's never really had a real boyfriend." Something in Lois' words stirred Clark. Lana deserved to know. He stood up quickly and said "You know what Lois, I gotta run. I just remembered something important. See ya around." Clark walked quickly out the door and jogged quickly behind the Talon. Making sure no one was around he supersped off. He could come back for the car. Clark's return trip was much faster and soon he arrived at the farm. He halted in the driveway, angered and scared. Lex's black Lamborghini sat in the driveway. He ran up to the steps and opened the door. The sound of Lex's laughter pierced his ears painfully. As he walked into the kitchen he was greeted by Lex's back with Lana's legs wrapped around it. He pushed her back on to the table so they both lay on it.
"Lana…" Clark whispered at his world shattered around him. Instantly the lovers froze and looked at him. Lex smirked at him saying
"Sorry Clark guess you just couldn't provide". In an instant Clark slammed Lex into the wall and pinned his forearm against Lex's throat.
"You walk out of my house, get in your car, and never come back here again. Do you understand that?" said Clark, his voice shaky. He withdrew his arm and shoved Lex roughly towards the door. As he walked out, Lana approached him. Clark pointed his finger out her, shaking his head. "The same goes for you. Leave. Right now." She came closer saying his named softly. "NOW" yelled Clark. She silently withdrew and followed Lex out. As the roar of the engine signaled their departure, Clark dropped to his knees, broken. He sat there for a moment and with a yell sprinted top speed out the door. The force of his speed shattered the windows and blew all of dishes off the shelves. Clark swept across the farm, into the woods, past highways, through mountains, over rivers, all the whiling running as fast as he could. He was now running through snow and ice. He paused and leapt as far as he could landing halfway up a mountain. Clark supersped the rest of the way up and finally halted a full two days since he had started. Breathing in as deeply as he could he let out a mighty roar that shook the ground around him. He threw himself off the peak plunging down into the forest below. He seized a tree, tall and old, and threw it into another grove. Clark Kent fell to the ground in the wilderness, alone.
