The Darkness of Clark Kent.
Chapter 2.
3 months later.
Lois sat at the kitchen table inside the Kent house staring into her cup of coffee. Thinking over the last 3 terrible months brought tears to her eyes. She remembered when Martha Kent came home, wondering why Lois never showed up for the scheduled meeting, only to find her curled up on the couch, asleep with dried tears on her face. When Martha had asked what was wrong, Lois spilled.
She told her everything, from her one night stand with Clark, to her listening to Clark at his father's grave site, to her realization that she was in love with him, to the note.
Martha had been understanding, she herself had cried after listening to everything, Martha cried for her sons sorrow, and for her son leaving. After both women got the tears out, Martha gave Lois her blessing in loving her son, and silently prayed that Clark would return to Lois's waiting arms.
Martha, deciding Lois was ready, had told Lois about Clarks secret, about his birth on a destroyed planet called Krypton, to his landing on earth, to all his troubles hiding his powers and trying to live a normal life. She told Lois about Clarks Fortress of Solitude and how Jor-El healed the injuries Lois sustained on Dark Thursday, she told Lois why Clark felt so guilty about everything and about how he was in conflict with his biological father over his destiny. Lois cried once more, she cried for Clark whose life has been one tragedy after another.
After that emotionally charged night, Lois immediately set out to finding Clark; she put her writing on hold, and spent her time between working with Martha and looking for Clark. After the first 2 months of no success, Lois swallowed her pride and went to Oliver Queen for help.
After telling him everything, he agreed. He was sad that Lois had moved on, but he had accepted it, and agreed to put their past behind them.
After an additional month of looking, neither had success, though neither stopped.
Others besides Lois and Martha were affected by Clark's disappearance. The group that worked with Oliver, who named themselves the Justice League, or JL for short were affected.
Bart was upset, for he looked up to Clark as an older brother figure, as the brother that had helped him find acceptance in the League, and a new family.
AC looked down, for he remembered how he and Clark first met, by destroying one of Lex's facilities to save local wildlife and how they saved each other's lives that day.
Victor sat in his room, going over his memories of his dear friend. He remembered how Clark saved his life from Lex Luthor, and how Clark brought him and the girl he had loved, Katherine together, if only briefly.
Oliver himself remembered Clark, and how they have helped each other over the years, he remembered their friendship, and the battles they fought in together.
They all made a vow to Lois, they would find Clark Kent, and bring him home, or die trying, like he would do for them.
Lionel Luthor himself was also affected by Clark's disappearance. Since becoming the emissary of Jor-El, he had the opportunity to get to know Clark better, and had even considered him a son. He wanted to join the search, but couldn't without raising the suspicions of his other son, Lex, with whom he was greatly ashamed. He blamed himself for Lex, he had raised him to be a monster, and he was glad that his second son, Clark, was raised by someone else.
Lex himself was affected by Clarks disappearance, Clark Kent was once a friend, and now a rival. Somewhere, deep down, Lex still remembers the good times they had, as friends, and the times they had as rivals. He never bothered to search for Clark, thinking that with Clark gone, his life would be easier for his various deeds.
Lana was hit hard, she still held some form of love for her ex, but she also felt betrayed, that he would leave her to Lex without some form of a fight.
All in all, the town of smallville didn't feel the same for many, for Clark had brought a brightness that was unmatched, a light in his heart that was almost Saint like, and with it gone, for many, it felt like a part of the towns soul had disappeared as well.
