Note: Sorry I forgot to mention that the pairings are Clois and bits of Lois/Lex and Clana
Later in Lex's Mansion
Lois had just arrived at the Luthor mansion only to find thousands of guards surrounding the place and it took her a while to convince one of the guards to let her in.
"Talk about not wanting to see anyone" she murmured under her breath while making her way to the main room where she was asked to see Lex.
She seated herself in a chair next to the piano and began to look around, in the corner there was a stack of empty bottles of alcohol.
"Wow he must be taking this really bad, he's worse than me when I was with Oliver" she noted to herself
Over an hour had passed and there was still no sign of Lex and Lois was getting bored and fidgety so she turned her attention back to the piano and smiled. When she was younger her mother used to love playing the piano and singing at the same time, it was one of her passions and had taught her how to play when she was just three, Lois had cherished those memories of her mother and her belting their hearts out on a Sunday night.
She stood up and looked around to see if no one was watching her and played a chord on the piano, still no one was listening.
'Let's see if I can still play this thing'
(Starts playing Tomorrow by Avril Lavigne)
And I wanna believe you
When you tell me that it'll be ok
Ya I try to believe you
But I don't
When you say that it's gonna be,
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe you
Not today...
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
(Tomorrow)
It's always been up to you
It's turning around it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't...
Give me a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late
Not today...
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Is a different day
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
And I know I'm not ready
Hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah
Maybe tomorrow
2x
And I wanna believe you ( different person starts singing and Lois looks up confused but keeps on playing)
When you tell me that it will be ok
Yeah, I try to believe you
Not today...
Tomorrow it may change
"Lex, I didn't see you there" she stood up quickly nearly knocking down the piano stool.
"You have quite a voice there Miss Lane not to mention your skill for playing the piano, care to tell me where you learnt the art of music" he commented
"I think you heard of Miss Jessica Williams, Lex"
"The famous violinist, pianist and singer how could I not know her. Secondly Miss Lane I believe that was her stage name, her real name was Miss Carline Stafford which changed to Mrs Louisiana Lane when she got married to the General of the northern Institute Army which was Sam Lane whom I suppose is your father"
"I didn't know that you researched muffin peddler's families Lex"
He chuckled "Well you can't blame me after the times when Chloe tried to hack into the Luthorcorp databases"
"Good Point"
"Well Miss Lane what do I have the pleasure of seeing you today"
"Why does everyone think I want something today? And please its Lois not Miss Lane the sound of that makes me cringe."
"Well Lois it's not every day you come to see me unless you are being stalked by trouble or you want a story and I doubt that you want to confront me about my love life"
"Funny, Chloe said the same thing, well sort of"
Lex raised his eyebrows "So Lois what do you want"
She sighed in defeat "ok you got me, Look last year I went on a trip to Europe with my dad and I was looking around in his office when I found this"
She handed him a large leather bound book and a silver bracelet with strange crystals on it.
"Let me get this straight, you were looking in your dad's office"
"I had to get some military statistics then I just sort of found it"
He opened the book to find strange symbols written on the pages.
"These look like the symbols..."
"... that are on the cave walls" she finished for him
"Chloe told me that you had a bit of dealings with the caves in the past few years"
He opened his mouth to speak but Lois interrupted
"I would have asked Smallville but every time I tried to talk to him about the caves, he shrugged me off and told me that it was nothing"
"I don't think this looks like nothing" he lifted the book up to show her a funny looking map with symbols around it.
"I know and that's not the only thing I found"
She handed him an old looking letter that was written in Latin
"If you look at the bottom its signed Geneva Caldaria, that was my great great grandmother or something like that and as far as I know she was a wise woman and was killed by some person called Isobel."
So she didn't know that Isobel was related to Lana thought Lex, it's probably best not to tell her until I have deciphered this letter then we would be able to find out what the book is about
"Hello Lex, are you even listening to me"
"Sorry Lois, I kinda drifted off"
She nodded, she understood what he was going through at the moment and didn't want to tease him just in case he didn't want to help her. She was also missing Smallville and their fights. That was part of her reason why she wanted to see Lex, she needed someone to pick on before she went mad.
"As I was saying, I did find out that she was part of the witches circle."
Hmm Interesting
"Oh and Lex I do know that Isobel was one of Lana's ancestors, but don' t worry I don't hate her for killing one of my ancestors"
He looked down sheepishly, even though he was fully educated and rich it was funny how someone like Lois Lane could make him look like a fool.
He looked back up at her "I could decipher the letter then we could find out what the book is about."
"Since when was it a 'we'"
For a moment he started to panic
"Just kidding, God this guy needs to get laid"
"What!!"
"Nothing, So I'll see you later Lex, Oh and if you don't keep me up to date with that I swear you are going to get your butt kicked, billionaire or no billionaire"
He smiled as the brunette exited the mansion, maybe it would be easy to forget Lana.
