Chapter 2

Disclaimer: Because this really needed a second chapter.

"I'm doing it! I'm finally doing it!" Laughed Clark happily as he flew around the farm with no trouble whatsoever.

It had taken him the better part of the Summer to finally get his flying going and as well as controlling it. But the time spent on it had been well worth it for him in his view. His Ship was also back in the Storm Cellar after his mother had brought something down there for storage and leading to the three of them to remember it had gone missing. Thankfully, it hadn't taken long to find it thanks to his super speed and none of them had any worries of someone else finding it and making waves. His parents of course had been a bit… Apprehensive about his flying as it was a risk of its own as it could lead to him being found out. But thankfully, they were supportive in the end.

Now he or Lana hadn't let on to them over the fact she'd seen him float in the barn and make a certain crater. Or that he had come clean about being in the Twister to save her from certain death. Between getting the farm fixed up and learning how to fly, he hadn't spoken much with Chloe and while part of himself was disappointed by that and by the fact she had let fear break them up, another part was okay with it. As how could he be with someone who easily let her fears and jealousies take over? It was something she was going to have to live with and he wasn't going to hold himself back anymore where Lana was concerned. His feelings for her just ran deeper then what his feelings for Chloe did.

And perhaps if things had been different, that might be an entirely different case. As it is, he'd even asked Lana out a week ago much to their mutual happiness and the date had been a rousing success with a second one coming up real soon. Even if Nell was giving him the stink eye more than usual but neither cared about that. As she really needed to just confront his dad already instead of turning her issues on to him. Smiling wider, Clark flew away from the farm and made his way towards town and having fun as he did so with various maneuvers that would probably make an Air Force pilot jealous of. "WAHOOOOOO!" He yelled out in pure joy as he went over the town and capturing the attention of those going about their business.

None could make him out thanks to how high he was, but none the less, his flying about would get the town talking. Sure, he'd get a lecture from his parents later but it would be worth it! Eventually, he landed and made his way to the Talon with a wide beaming smile on his lips that folks couldn't help but notice. Lana especially as he made his way to the counter where she was. "Lana, I did it!"

"Y-You did!?" She asked in excitement, knowing exactly what he was talking about and he just nodded with that smile still in place.

She let out a noise of excitement and ran around the counter to hug him. "I'm so happy for you, Clark!"

"You're about to go on lunch, right?" He asked of her while keeping her in his arms and looking into her beautiful eyes.

"That's right. I take it you have a good way I can spend my time where that's concerned?"

Chuckling, he nodded. "I just might."

"In that case, let me go clock out." Smiling, Lana reluctantly pulled away from him to do exactly that.

A short time later saw them in a field and excited anticipation high in the air. He picked her up bridal style with her quickly placing her arms around his neck and let out a gasp when he began to lift them up into the air. Going higher and higher under his own power, going past all sorts of birds until they were above the clouds and remained that way. Observing the miles of blue beautiful sky as the Sun's rays alighted on them and Clark found himself being energized greatly by the experience. "This… This is amazing, Clark." Lana told him softly, no trace of fear at all as she knew he wouldn't drop her.

He smiled happy at that. "Would this count as our next and second date?"

Lana pretended to think that over with a mischevious smile on her lips. "Hmm… I think so, Mr. Kent."

"Good, because I had no idea what I was gonna do originally for our second, Ms. Lang"

Chuckling came from her as she snuggled against him, utterly content in this moment. "Just so you know, you never have to go out of your way with me, Clark. I'm happy with whatever you do as its the thought that counts as I don't need anything fancy." She said truthfully as she looked up at him.

Hearing that made Clark happier then he'd ever been and even though she had told him she didn't need anything fancy, he still wanted to try at some point. He lowered his lips towards her own and their lips met for truly the first time. The moment would be one that they would both cherish for the rest of their lives as all manner of feelings exploded in them both over the kiss. Both sighed happily after the kiss ended, both feeling complete at long last. "Could we come back up here later to watch the Sun set? I have a feeling it'd be amazing to see from up here."

"For you? I'd do it anytime."

His words got him another happy kiss from the girl who holds his heart and eventually, with great reluctance, the two made their way back down to the field so that she could return to work. Even if it was a little on the difficult side as she could barely concentrate on anything but Clark Kent. But it was worth it in Lana's view!

Author's Notes: I hope this will have lived up to anyone's expectations where this follow up chapter is concerned! I doubt I'll do more with this fic but we'll see in the future.
