Trying to be supportive

Lois's jaw dropped at the sight of Clark. He just floated, Clark Mr. Average Joe, just floated. She knew there was something special about Clark and he wasn't just some farm boy. She had even confronted him about it once and he said he was just a farm boy. She was right all along, that damn phone call after she fell off the Daily Planet was just a ruse to throw her off his scent. He lied to her. Stupid Lois, you should know better than to not trust your instincts. Wait, he seemed as surprised as the rest of us, maybe he didn't know. No, he was faking. Clark is the Blur and he's not going to get out of it this time. You've known way too many meteor infected people, and none of them had powers like this. Clark's a hero, and just because he lied to you, doesn't mean he didn't have a reason and you're not going to turn your back on him because of a little lie. Well this isn't exactly a little lie, it's a huge lie. A hero................ it's Ollie all over again! No wonder he kept the secret from you.

The entire time Lois's mind was babbling like this she was just staring at Clark like a fish out of water. Making Clark feel very uncomfortable. Good thing he missed the table though, now they have something to talk about while they eat. Dammit this is it, this is the moment she finds out and all she can do is stare! Her reaction was better when she only suspected, but now there is no way out of this. I was floating again, I've only done that when I was sleeping or when I was taken over by Kal, why did I float now of all times? "uhhhhh." Clark stuttered unsure as to what to say.

Oh great this is going to go over well, damn why does Clark get the cool power? I'm around Kryptonite every day and I'm just a modern day robin hood. Oliver just kind of shrank back into his chair and crossed his arms over his chest waiting for someone to decide to explain or try and get Clark out of it. Although maybe it's not such a bad idea Lois knows, she was going to find out sooner or later.

Chloe, who was just sitting there gaping like Lois started to get a little mad. He never told me he could fly! I'm his best friend he tells me everything, why couldn't he tell me about his new super-power? Chloe began to pout, her bottom lip sticking out just the slightest bit. No Chloe this is not the time to be angry with him about not telling you about his power, he needs your support, but what should I say?

Oh no! This is not good, don't panic Martha you can fix this. Oh I miss you Johnathan, you'd know just what to say. Hey maybe now that the secret's out Lois can finally wear that dress for real this time. Oh and then I could call Sam and tell him the Wedding is back on! Cross your fingers, this is going to work out, it has too. Martha Kent, the only one who could compose her thoughts spoke. "Well Lois, would you like some gravy on your mashed potatoes?" Oh great idea distract them with food.

"Um sure Mrs. Kent, and with the gravy how bout a side of you lied to me Clark Kent!" Lois said angerly. No she didn't care about the powers, it doesn't change the man she's known for five years. He's still that naked boy she found in the corn field, well more clothes now, but still. "I knew it too, but I let you make me believe it wasn't you. You are the Blur, and don't even try to deny it now."

"Lois," Chloe started, but then stopped. Lois was right, it was wrong to try and hide it. Chloe felt ashamed to have taken a part of it. "Yeah, Clark is the Blur. Yes he has super powers, and yes he has saved your life countless times, but that doesn't change anything." Chloe said, it didn't change things for her, Clark was still her best friend even after Alicia showed her that Clark had powers.

"You knew about this?" Lois asked Chloe, but was surprised when both Chloe and Oliver nodded their heads. They all knew. Great Lois, you look like a total clueless fool. How could you not have seen this? "You're wrong Chloe it does change some things. The powers I could care less about, it's the fact that Clark, the one person I thought I trusted, lied straight to my face." Lois got up from her chair. "Thanks for dinner Mrs. Kent, I'm sorry, but I'm not that hungry." She walked out the door, not caring that it was pouring rain outside and she didn't have a ride home. Rain was good, it hid the tears.

Clark, who was trying to sort out why everything ended up this way jumped up and ran out the door. Normal speed Clark, you don't want to scare her. Deep down inside, he knew Lois was right. When he had told her his secret, she hadn't been scared or angry, she understood, and this time it was the same only different. She wasn't angry or scared he had super powers. It was the fact that he had lied to her. He ran up to her and grabbed her hand trying to stop her. "Lois please!"

"Please what Clark? You lied to me!" She yelled ripping her hand out of his grasp. Which she had to admit hurt. Not physically, but emotionally, it was the look on Clark's face that made her hurt. She couldn't be mad at him, not face to face anyway. His baby blues had an unfair advantage over her. "Clark, I'm not mad at you for having powers. I'm mad at myself for you not being able to trust me enough to tell me that you had them." And that was the truth.

"No Lois, it had nothing to do with me not being able to trust you! I trust you with my life! It's because you are special that I didn't tell you. I saw how Oliver being a hero tore your relationship apart and I didn't want that to happen with us. I love you Lois." Clark said, his voice so full of emotion that it was almost hard to speak.

"You love me?" Lois asked, tears pouring out of her eyes. This was the first time he had said that. She had said it to him before when they were abducted by that psycho wedding jeweler, and he gave her an out. Maybe she should give him an out for his secret. "I guess I understand now, why you kept me in the dark. It was to protect me wasn't it? You've been watching over me for years haven't you? Not just as the Blur, but as my best friend. You have always been there for me, so I shouldn't be mad at you for one secret. I know I'm not good with things like this, and keeping secrets and all, so it's reasonable you not to tell me. But I guess what I mean to say is............. I love you too Clark Kent."
