Hi guys here is the second chapter please review J

Chapter 2

Lois rang the doorbell and did her best to pull the twigs and leaves out of her hair. She wondered if she had enough time to strip her nylons off to hide the gaping holes that now marred her legs. She could feel the fabric giving away with each movement. When she thought she was as presentable as she could be she straightened her shoulders and waited for the door to be answered. That was when the skies opened up and rain poured down soaking her instantly. Everything that had happened to her recently on top of this downpour sent Lois over the edge she started laughing hysterically tears and rain mixed on her face as she couldn't control the outburst. She was still laughing when the door opened.

Clark had x-rayed the door when he heard the doorbell ring as saw a woman who looked like she had been through hell. He had watched her for a second and saw by her reaction that she wasn't in immediate danger but apparently was just a mess. Though a mess he could see she was beautiful, he grinned at Lionel.

"I'll answer that."

"Clark, I will not have you picking inferior women to spite me, we will pick out the right type of woman to carry your heir." Lionel said.

"Nope, I'm picking her out." Clark called out over his shoulder. "And if you don't like it you can disinherit me the way you threatened but you won't have a grandbaby then would you."

Clark ran into Gerald the butler and gave him a nod. "It's ok Gerald, I've got this."

"As you wish Mr. Luthor." Gerald gave a slight bow.

"For the millionth time Gerald call me Clark." Clark knew he could be cold and threatening at times but there were certain things that he always made sure to do. He was always polite to the people who worked for him or people who worked in the service areas. That was something he learned from his late mother Lilian. It doesn't matter how much money we have Clark, it never gives you the right to be rude to people who some might believe are below them. Many of them work to provide for their families and that is one of the most noble jobs there is. People have worked to provide for their families from the beginning of time. To the outside world that might not be something people expected from one of the 'spoiled' Luthor kids, but Clark took everything his mother taught him to heart. He missed her every day and deep down knew she would approve and be proud of him using his powers to help people.

"Maybe one day, Mr. Luthor." Gerald said with a slight glance towards the den where Lionel was. That was what separated Clark from Lionel, Lex and Tess. Lex was known to mistreat the staff and Tess just ignored them. Though while he enjoyed having money, he didn't let it define him.

As he went for the door he heard thunder rumble, he opened the door and was speechless at the sight before him. The skies seemed to have opened from the time he heard the bell to the time opening the door. The woman who had been bedraggled was now soaking wet. He glanced up with a frown. They had a large overhang over the front door to protect people from such a fate but it had been taken down for repair and hadn't been put up yet. Now this woman looked soaked to the core. While he felt bad at her condition it wasn't the thing that caused his confusion. The woman who resembled a drowned rat was laughing hysterically as if told the funniest joke in the world. She didn't even realize he was standing there. He scanned her and realized that she was indeed very beautiful and soaking wet made her very sexy as her clothes now clung to her athletic form. He felt a smile form on his lips, their child would be good looking with their combined genes. Now all he had to do was convince her of the same. Though watching her he began to question her sanity. Psychotic genes would be no good no matter how nice the outside packaging was.

"Can I help you?" he called out to be heard over the rain and her laughter.

Lois heard a male voice call out to her and she looked over expecting to see a stuffy looking butler. Instead she came face to face with Clark Luthor. 6'4 of pure gorgeousness that his pictures in the tabloids alone have fueled many a female fantasy. Lois realized in her state she was now face to face with a gorgeous hunk, the absurdity made her laugh even harder.

Clark felt his lips twitch and pull up in a small smile as this woman seemed to be enjoying herself. She gasped and tried to stifle her giggles.

"I'm sorry" she said "I'm with the Daily Planet." She said around giggles.

Clark frowned slightly when he heard her say Daily Planet. "Are you a reporter?" he asked warily.

Lois snorted, as she looked through the sopping wet contents of her folder. "Oh no you need talent and a life to be one of those, I have none." She said with a giggle. "No I'm going door to door selling subscriptions for the Planet. I realize coming to a huge mansion and asking you to subscribe to a newspaper you most likely have is ridiculous but I have to otherwise my pervert of a boss will have me fired." She said starting to laugh again. "And I need the job because I ran myself into debt supporting my cheating ex so he could be a doctor and move into some fancy penthouse while I get evicted because while I paid the rent my landlord forgot to pay the mortgage." She knew she was having a meltdown but just couldn't seem to stop. "But I guess its ok if the pervert fires me because I still get to deliver food on roller skates and get my ass slapped by guys who call me Sweetheart and Dollface." She managed to get control of herself and decided it would best if lightening just struck her down because this was beyond mortifying. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I don't know what's come over me, I'm going to go. Look if someone calls from the Planet could you just tell them no one showed up. If I'm going to get fired I'd rather it being that I didn't show up and not that I had a nervous breakdown on your doorstep. No need to give the pervert more ammunition right?" She looked at him and saw he was leaning in the door way his arms crossed and he looked amused. "Ok well I'm going to go, sorry for bothering you." She turned and ran off the doorstep and down the driveway not sure why, she was already soaked but she just needed to get out of there. She reached her car and got in an as quickly as possible. She stuck her keys in the ignition and turned the key. Nothing happened. She tried again, still nothing.

"No, no come on baby come on, don't do this." She pleaded pumping the gas and turning the key still nothing. She gave up and laid her forehead on the steering wheel and groaned. She screamed when she heard a knock on her window and glanced up to see Clark Luthor. She grabbed the window lever and rolled the window down. "Uh Hi" she said not really sure what else to say.

He leaned down and she saw he was holding an umbrella. "Car problems?" he asked with a smirk and Lois rolled her eyes.

"Yeah just a little, but look I'll call for a tow and will be away from house soon." Lois said.

"Or you could come inside, get something warm to drink and I will call my mechanic to come look at your…uh this is a car right?" he asked looking at the beaten up car suspiciously.

"Yes it's a car." She said defensively. "And don't let her hear you badmouth her or she might never start again."

"You say that like it's a loss." He opened the door and gestured for her to get out. She rolled up her window.

"Really, I'm fine I don't need to go in I'll be fine in the car." She argued as he gripped her by the elbow and helped her out of the car. She found herself up close and personal with him under the umbrella and she looked into his eyes and swallowed hard. Jeez his eyes were gorgeous.

Clark looked at her and found himself getting lost in her eyes, he shook his head slightly. He did not get lost in a woman's eyes. He cleared his throat.

"Come inside, it sounds like you've had a rough day." He said leading her back down the driveway. He stopped and she glanced up at him to see he had a grin on his face. "What's your name?"

"Lois, Lois Lane." Lois said.

Clark held his hand out to shake hers. "Clark Luthor" he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you Clark" Lois said.

They reached the door and he stopped again. He looked at her and Lois felt like her soul was being scrutinized.

"Uh you ok there?" she asked.

Clark nodded, "Yeah, in fact Lois I think I have a proposition that is going to change your life."

Ok let me know what you think.
