Love is Forever:


--Metropolis--

Ace's Penthouse; Ace awoke to the feel of strong arms wrapped around his waist, so he rolled over on his side and smiling back at him is his boyfriend; Jacen Diaz. He met Jacen about a few weeks after he and Clark broke up but they didn't start dating until two months later. Ace and Clark were together close to six years, but that all came to an end when Clark made one mistake; he slept with Whitney Fordman while Ace was away on business. Their break up wasn't a hateful one, Ace still pays for Clark's school and home. He still works at Neo Company but in a different department so he and Ace won't see each other as much. Ace met Jacen at a company meeting. Jacen is the owner of a small agency, which helps upcoming writers, actors and models get their start. When they met Ace thought it would be best if he didn't start dating right away so he told Jacen to wait for him and he did. That same week Ace had left the country for business meetings at X-Scene; England.

Ace looked Jacen in his hazel eyes, "Morning." "Good morning." Jacen smiled. "Y'okay after last night?" "Yeah, I'm fine." Ace said. "You wanna talk about it?" Jacen said. "Not really, no." Ace stated. "Okay. Well, I have to get ready for work." Jacen said; he then unwrapped his arms from around Ace and climbed out of bed--all he was wearing was dark-blue briefs--. Ace just laid there playing the events of last night over and over in his mind. He still couldn't or wouldn't believe that Clark--someone who he thought was his soul mate--would act like that. In all their years together he has never acted like that Ace had always had male friends that were well, close to him and they always played around with each other and he never got jealous. So when Clark did what he did last night Ace was shocked.

--Last Night--

Club/Café Northstar; Ace and Jacen are sitting at a table with his two sons--Jaden and Levi--little Jaden was eating cut up meat while Jacen was feeding Levi some rice. "So how old where you when they were born?" Ace asked. "Well, I was sixteen when Jaden was born and nineteen when Levi was born." Jacen said. "And their mother?" Ace asked as he cut up some more meat for Jaden. "Well, she's in Spain right now working on her first fashion show." Jacen said. "And you, Ace, have any kids?" "Yes, I have eight boys and two girls." Ace said. "One was a single birth, two sets of twins, one set of triplets and two single births." "You have ten kids?" Jacen stated. "Wow." "Plus I have two step kids." Ace stated. Just then Clark and his now boyfriend; Whitney Fordman entered the café and walked straight towards Ace's table "Ace!" Ace looked up, "Clark? Whitney." "Why haven't you been by to see Jonathan and Martha?" Clark asked. "Clark, I've been out of the country for the past two months." Ace said. "They've been asking for you. Why I don't know." Clark said. "Okay, I'll go see them." Ace stated. "And who's this?" Clark asked. "Clark this is Jacen Diaz." Ace stated. "Oh so that's how it is you rather spend time with kids that aren't yours then your own kids." Clark said. "Clark don't do this. Not here." Ace hissed. "Ace tell me where are your children?" Clark asked. Ace stood up, "Listen my kids are with their other parent during the week because they go to school and I can't watch them cause of my work. You know that." "Go see them." Clark said. "Look I already said I will now leave." Ace said. Two rather lager guys walked up behind Clark, "Everything okay Mr. Halliwell?" "Nothing I can't handle, but would you please escort Clark and his giggling buddy out." Ace said. "Yes, sir." The two guys walked both Clark and Whitney to the door, "Oh and Clark I hope that your paycheck can pay for both your School and house!" Ace called out.

--Now--

Jacen walked out of the restroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and drying his hair. Ace looked over at him, "You are so handsome. Why did I wait to date you?" "I don't know but you're lucky I waited." Jacen said. "So you don't mind watching my boys?" "Not at all. Matter of fact I have to go pick up my triplets." Ace said. Jacen walked over to Ace; he then kissed him, "Thank you." "Welcome. I'll see tonight." Ace said as Jacen walked out.

--Metropolis--

Ace entered Club/Café Northstar holding Jaden's hand and with Levi in his arms. He walked to the table that Emma was sitting at. "Daddy!" Jonathan yelled. Both him and Martha ran to hug him. "Hey there little ones. How are you?" Ace asked. "Daddy why you not see us? Are you mad at us?" Martha asked. "Oh no, I'm not mad at you my sweet angel. I could never be mad at you." Ace said. "Okay." Martha stated. "Now how about you two go play with Jaden while I talk with mommy." Ace said. "Okay." The three of them ran off towards the play room. "So who's this cutie?" Emma asked. "This is Levi; Jacen's little boy." Ace said. "Wait, Jacen has kids?" Emma asked. "Yes two. Jaden and Levi here." Ace said. "How old is Jacen?" Emma asked. "Twenty." Ace stated. "And he already has two kids." Emma stated. "What I had three by the time I was twenty." Ace said. "but Ace you were never straight, he was. Matter of fact he was married once." Emma said. "So was I. Twice at that." Ace said. "But not to a girl." Emma said. "Em, I know where you're going with this and I don't think Jacen will start to date girls again." Ace said. "Okay Ace I'm just worried about you that's all. We all are." Emma said. "We? Who's we?" Ace asked. "Me, Shalimar, Lexa, Jesse and Brennan." Emma said. "Well, thank you but I'm fine. I'm happy with Jacen, now I can't quite say I love him but in time that will come." Ace said. "Okay as long as you're happy that's all that matters." Emma said. "Now I'm glad you came to see Jonathan and Martha, they've been missing you so much. And I told Clark that I'd call you he didn't have to show up here and start a fight with you. I'm sorry about that." "Don't be it wasn't your fault Clark just showed his true colors and we didn't fight." Ace said. "That's not what I heard." Emma said.

"Well whatever you heard is a lie. We just talked really loud. That's all." Ace said. "Okay." Emma said. "Ace can I ask you a question." "Sure." Ace stated. "Why do you still let him work at Neo Company. I mean you two aren't together anymore." Emma said. "Well, first I didn't hair him, so I can't fire him and he is really good at what he does." Ace said. "I'm not going to fire him just because we aren't together anymore." "Well, that's nice. I hope he doesn't screw this up." Emma said. "Well, Em, I have to go I gotta pick up James, Denis and Prudence." Ace said. "Okay, I'll see you later Ace." Emma said. Ace picked up Levi he then grabbed Jaden's hand and the three of them walked out.

--Later--

Emma's apartment; She entered to find Shalimar and Lexa waiting for her at her door. "Hey guys what's up?" "Ace, have you spoken to him?" Lexa asked. "Yeah, I just had lunch with him. Why? Is something wrong?" Emma asked. "No, we just haven't heard from him since the whole Clark break up that's all." Shalimar said. "Well, he's doing fine. He's got a new boyfriend name Jacen Diaz." Emma said. "Well, that's good." Lexa said. "Yeah, now he'll be able to get over Clark." Shalimar said. "I mean even when he got back with Jesse he still wasn't over Clark." "I know but guys this Jacen guy has two sons. He is only twenty and he was straight once." Emma said. "Oh Ace has someone who has turned." Lexa said. "Yes and I'm afraid that he'll want go to back to girls and hurt Ace even more then he's already hurting." Emma said. "Well, let's go pay this Jacen a visit." Shalimar said. "Okay, let me drop Jonathan and Martha off at Clark's." Emma said. "Okay but I don't want to see him." Shalimar said. "Deal." Emma said.

--Sosay Studios--

Ace entered to the sight of Jacen looking over some papers and talking on the phone, "Yes, I'll fax the papers over right away. Yes, sir I had them sign all of them." Ace stood in the doorway and waited for him to finish with his phone call. "Uncle Ace I have to go the bath room." Jaden said. "Okay, Come on daddy's on the phone anyways." Ace said. Jacen hung up the phone just as Ace turned, "Ace, wait. Where are you going?" "I'm taking Jaden to the restroom." Ace said. "Okay well, you can leave Levi with me." Jacen said. "Oh right, I'm sorry. I just forgot what it was like to have a little one that's all." Ace said as he handed Levi over to Jacen. "How young is your youngest one?" "Well, Jake is my youngest one and he is only one." Ace said, "Be right back he really as to go." "Okay." Jacen said, "So how was your day with uncle Ace?" Little Levi just smiled at his dad, "I'll take that as it was great." Jacen kissed Levi on his forehead and held him close, "Y'know your mother will be back in a day. She misses you and your brother." Ace stood in the door way as Jacen talked to his youngest son, "She'll be very happy to know that I finally found someone that I love and I hope loves me back. Y'know after your mother I didn't think I could find someone to love, she hurt me so much when she told me she was in love with someone else." Ace placed his hand on Jacen's shoulder, who looked up at him, "I do love you." He then placed his lips on top of Jacen's and they stayed like that for a good three minutes.

After they parted Jacen placed Levi on the floor to play, he then stood up and wrapped his arms around Ace. "How much did you hear?" "All of it." Ace stated. "Jacen I want you to know that I to didn't think that I would find someone after Clark. I mean I thought he was my soul mate, but clearly that wasn't meant to be and maybe this is. God, I love you so much." They then kissed again but this time their tongues became part of the mix and Ace ran his hands through Jacen short dark hair and Jacen rubbed Ace's back through his shirt. "Uck, stop that." Jaden stated from the doorway. They pulled away, "Hey you, come here." Jacen pulled Jaden towards him. "That nasty." Jaden stated. "Oh Jaden, we promise never to do that in front of you." Jacen said. "That okay, me don't like it. But you can do it if you want." Jaden said. "Oh Jaden." Jacen kissed the top of his head and let him go play with his brother. Just then Ace's cell phone rang, "Hello? Yes this him. What? No, I am on my way. No don't let him leave. I'll be right there." Ace hung up his cell, "Something wrong?" Jacen asked. "Yes, Lex is at Neo company trying to talk Bruce into selling it to him." Ace said; he pulled his keys out of his pocket. "Okay, so what do you plan on doing?" Jacen asked. "Well, first I need to get over there. So I'll see tonight." Ace said he quickly gave Jacen a kiss and rushed out the door. "Yeah, tonight." Jacen stated.

--Neo Company--

Ace enter his shared office with Bruce to find Lex and Bruce talking, "Ace, thank god you're here." Bruce stood up and walked over to him. "Lex what do you think you are doing. If you remember you sold us your share of this company because you didn't think you saw a future for this company." Ace said. "Well, I changed my mind." Lex said. "Well, Lex I don't think we want to sell or even let you back in." Ace said. "Oh I don't want back in or for you to sell to me." Lex said. Just then a male and a female walked in, "Bruce. Ace. I like you to meet Jacqueline and Jack Teague, my new business partners and the three of us will take you two down." Jacqueline smiled at her brother, "Nice to finally meet you, Ace." "Wow, the Ace Halliwell I've heard so many stories about your business ethics." Jack stated as they walked towards Lex. "You see Ace and Bruce it's like this you two can either sell to me now or suffer a battle and believe me I will win cause I never lose." Lex said. Ace walked up to Lex so they can look each other in the eyes, "You listen to me Lex, I will never sell out to you and the war between us has just begun. You think you might win but I never lose either and I will love to see how will you fight." Lex and his two business partners began walking towards the door, "Good luck Ace. Bruce." Bruce turned to Ace as the door closed, "Are we going to fight him?" "For the company, yes." Ace said. "Dad, are you. Oh, hi Ace." Ace looked behind Bruce and saw a boy with short dark hair and he's wearing a black shirt with black pants, "Hey Ethan, how are you?" "I'm fine." Ethan said. "Drake, what is it?" Bruce asked. "Uh?" Ethan stated. "What did you come in here for?" Bruce asked. Ethan snapped back into reality, "Oh, yeah mom said she ready for to go now." "oh right I forgot she was doing some shopping." Bruce said. "Ace will talk later about this." "Yeah sure just give me a call." Ace said. "Ethan let's go your mother will be mad if we keep her waiting any longer." Bruce said. "I'll catch up with you later dad. I need to talk to Ace." Ethan said. "Okay, but don't be home to late." Bruce said. "Okay I won't." Ethan said. Bruce walked out as Ethan and Ace sat at a table.

Ethan and Ace walked in, "Mom! Dad! I'm home!" He got no answer, "I guess they're not home. Come on let's get something to eat." Ace smiled at Ethan, "Sure." Ethan led Ace into the kitchen and there they found Richard Grayson and Tim Drake sitting at the table, Richard was first to get up, "Ace, man it's good to see you." He gave Ace a hug, "Nice to see you, too, Dick." Ace said. "Tim how are you?" "I'm fine Ace." Tim stated. Richard or Dick Grayson had known Ace for at least six years now the two of them met while Dick was fighting crime as Nightwing, now he has taking the mental of Batman and Tim Drake took the mental of Nightwing. Tim met Ace while he was fighting crime as Robin the two of them have a nice friendship, but they aren't that close. Tim plays with Richard by saying he has a school girl crush on Ace, Dick hates it because it has kind of screwed up his relationships in the past. "So Dick how's life?" Ace asked as he sat down. "Well, it's okay. I met this girl named Sonja Cohen." Dick said. "That's great. I hope it works out for you." Ace said. Ethan placed a plate of food in front of Ace, "Here you go." "Thanks, Ethan." Ace said. "Hey, Ethan can I speak with you in private?" Tim asked. "Sure." Ethan said. The two of them walked into the hallway leaving Ace and Dick in the kitchen. "Ethan, you don't have a thing for Ace, do you?" Tim said. "Of course not. And besides even if I do it doesn't matter he's with someone." Ethan said. "Okay but you do realize that Dick has a crush on. He has had it since they've meet." Tim said. "Tim, Dick is straight." Ethan said. "That's what he keeps saying so we all play along, but I think he's denying he's gay cause he knows he can't have Ace." Tim said. Just then the front doors opened, "Ethan you're home before us." Selina said. "Yeah, oh I invited Ace over for dinner I hope that's okay." Ethan said. "Sure that is fine. I haven't seen Ace in awhile." Selina said. "And Bruce no business talk, not here." "Yes honey I promise no business talk." Bruce said he then kissed his wife on the check.

Later; all six of them are sitting at the table enjoying a lovely meal that Selina has cooked herself. "So Ace how are your kids?" Ace finished chewing the food in his mouth before he answered, "They're fine." "How old are they again? It's been so long since I've seen them." Selina said. "Well, Pierce is thirteen. Luckie and Eliza are both twelve. Mark and Danyeal are ten. James, Denis and Prudence are six. Allen is five and Jake just turned one." Ace said. "Wow, I forgot how many you had." Selina said. "So when can I see them. I miss them so much." "How about I bring them by on Saturday, they have school during the week." Ace said. "Sounds great. Bruce, we don't have anything planed for Saturday do we?" Selina said. "Yes, but I can cancel it. I mean how often can we see all of our godchildren." Bruce said. "Boys will you two be here?" Selina said. "Sure." Dick stated. "I wouldn't miss see them for anything." "I have a class in the morning but when I get out I'll come over." Tim said. "Great it's all settled then." Selina said. "So Ace how's Clark?" "Selina, I told not to bring that up." Bruce said. "No, Bruce it's okay." Ace said. "Well, me and Clark broke up a few months ago." "Oh, really? Why?" Selina asked. "Well, he cheated on me with Whitney." Ace said. "Oh, I'm sorry I didn't know." Selina said. "It's okay he's moved on and so have I." Ace said. "So you have a new boyfriend?" Dick asked. "Yes his name is Jacen Diaz." Ace said. "We have been dating for about two months now." "That's great Ace." Selina said. "Well, Selina the meal was great, but I have to go now." Ace said. "Oh really?" Ethan said. "Yeah Jacen will be home in about a hour." Ace said. "Wait you've only been with this guy for two months and you two already live with each other." Dick said. "No he just well, stays the night." Ace said. "Well, I'll walk you out." Ethan said. "Okay." Ace stated. As the two of them walked out, "Okay correct me if I'm wrong but does Ethan seem to have a crush on Ace." Tim said. "Yeah I do see it, but Ace has a boyfriend." Selina said. "Yeah that he only has been with for two months." Tim said. "Tim stop it I don't want to hear this kind of talk." Bruce said. "But Bruce." Tim stated but stopped because Ethan walked back in. "So what's everyone talking about?" "Dick 's new girl." Tim said. Dick choked on his food, "What?" "So Dick, what's your new girl like?" Selina asked.

--Ace's penthouse--

Ace entered to an empty house instead of finding Jacen and his two boys he found a note on the table, " 'Dear Ace, listen I went to Spain because some of my models are in Eden's Fashion show. Listen I don't know how to say this but I think I want to try to work things out with her I'm sorry if I hurt you.'" Ace threw the note in the trash and stormed out of his penthouse. He then found himself in front of Emma's apartment, he knocked, "Ace what's wrong?" Emma asked as she opened the door. "He left me, Em." Ace stated. "Oh Ace I'm so sorry." Emma said, she stepped aside and let him in. "You want me to call Shalimar and Lexa?" "No. I'm fine. I just need to talk." Ace said. "Okay." Emma stated. "Come sit down." Ace and Emma sat down on the sofa, "Where are the kids?" Ace asked. "With Clark." Emma stated. "So why did he leave you?" "He went to Spain to put some of his models in his ex-wife's fashion show and said he wanted to try and work things out with her." Ace said. "Oh, Ace I'm so sorry." Emma said. Just then her door opened, "Emma I brought to kids back." Clark said. "Oh, Ace hi." "Hey Clark." Ace said. "Ace what's wrong?" Clark asked. Jonathan and Martha ran to Ace, "Daddy!" They jumped into his opened arms, "Hey you two it's great to see you." He kissed the tops of their heads. "Ace what's wrong." Clark demanded. "Listen how about you two come with mommy." Emma said as she stood up. "No we want to stay with daddy." Jonathan said. "Jon, don't tell your mother no. Now go I'll be there to see before I leave." Ace said. "Okay daddy." Martha said. "So Ace what's wrong?" Clark asked as he sat next to him. "Well, Jacen went back to his ex." Ace said. "Oh Ace I'm so sorry." Clark said he gently placed his arm around Ace's shoulder. Ace placed his head on Clark's shoulder, "Thanks. Listen I didn't mean what I said about the farm and your schooling. I'll still pay form them. And anything you need for the kids." "Ace, you don't have to do that." Clark said. "I know but I want to. I don't want us to not be able to be friends we did have a six year relationship and have four beautiful kids to show for it." Ace said. "Thanks Ace." Clark said. "Clark what the hell is this!" Whitney shouted as he walked in. "Whitney it's not what it looks like." Clark said. "Oh really it looks like Ace was all up on you." Whitney said. "Whitney, Ace just broke up with Jacen." Clark said. "So what that doesn't mean you have to be all up on him." Whitney said. "Hey!" Emma yelled. "You aren't welcome here now leave." "Not without Clark." Whitney said. "Whitney go to the car I'll be right there." Clark said. "Fine." Whitney said. "Ace I'm sorry. I forgot he was waiting for me." Clark said. "It's okay, Clark I have always known that Whitney's an ass but I was his friend at the time so it didn't bother me." Ace said. "Are you going to be okay?" Clark asked. "Yeah." Ace said. "Oh before I forget Selina wants to see Allen and Jake this Saturday." "Okay I'll drop them off at your place Friday." Clark said. "Great thanks Clark." Ace said.

--Friday Night--

There was a knock on Ace's penthouse door, "Hold on a sec!" Ace called out. He opened the door and Clark was standing there holding both Allen and a sleeping Jake. "Well, here you go. Sorry he fell asleep on the way over." "It's okay. Here let me take Allen while you put Jake in his bed." Ace said as he took Allen who had a smile on his face. As Clark entered he could hear children playing, "Have company?" "Oh yeah, the others are here as well." Ace said. "You mean you're going to have all ten of kids here tonight?" Clark asked. "Yep, Selina wants to see them all." Ace said. "Ace can you handle them all?" Clark asked. "I mean they are all needy. Jake is really needy." "Yeah I can handle it and besides Pierce will help me he's thirteen now." Ace said. "Are you sure I can stay and help you tonight" Clark said. "Clark are you sure? What about Whitney?" Ace asked. "Well, me and him are no more after what he did to you in Emma's house I couldn't stay with him." Clark said. "Okay if you want to." Ace said. "Let me go put Jake down and we'll get dinner started." Clark said. "Okay. Come on Rexx your other brothers and sisters will be so happy to see you." Ace said as they walked into the living room. "Hey guys Allen and Jake finally showed up but Jake is asleep." Pierce was first to stand he took his five year brothers hand from his father as he placed him down, "Come on Al, let's go play." "Yeah!" Allen shouted.

As the children played in the living room Ace and Clark went into the kitchen to start on dinner, "So what do you feel like having?" Clark placed a pan on the stove, "God I don't know. How about something that all the kids will eat." Ace said. "Wow, that's a lot of months to please." Clark said. "Yeah, so what do they all like?" Ace asked. "Well, how about we just go with hot dogs I'm sure they all like that." Clark said. "Okay, that sounds great." Ace said. Ace placed his hand on Clark's shoulder, "Well, I'll get out of your way and let you get dinner ready." "Okay." Clark stated. As Ace walked out he gasped for air and images began to flash in his head, he couldn't make anything out because they were flashing to fast and to close together. He fell to his knees as he came out of it, "Ace are you okay?" Clark asked as he helped him up. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just need to go lay down." Ace said as he began to walk to his room.

Later; Ace awoke to the sounds of laughing children, he walked into the living room and saw Clark playing with all of his boys, Eliza and Prudence are sitting at the table coloring. "Hey you." Clark looked up just as James jumped on his back, "Hey, did you sleep well." Ace smiled, "Yeah, sorry about earlier." "It's okay." Clark stated as he stood up. "What happened? Are you okay?" "Yeah, I had a vision." Ace said as he sat down on the sofa. "What was it about?" Clark sat next to him as the boys began to wrestle with each other. "I'm not sure. I couldn't make anything out." Ace said. He inhaled deeply, "Damn it! Why did I have it!" All the kids stopped and looked at their dad, "Sorry kids daddy didn't mean what he said." Ace said as he looked at them all. They all went back to what they were doing, "Why couldn't you make anything out?" Clark asked. "They flashed to fast and to close together." Ace said. "Well, then don't worry about it. I mean if you were meant to do anything about it you will have it again." Clark said. Ace inhaled, "Maybe you're right." He stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Sorry but the kids eat all the hot dogs!" Clark called out. "Did you eat any?" Ace asked. Clark walked into the kitchen, "No, I didn't get the chance." "Okay, well, I'll call Northstar and have Max bring us something." Ace said. "That sounds great." Clark said. "Say Clark do you think you can stay the night? I don't want to be here alone after the vision." Ace said. "Sure, Ace. I'll sleep on the sofa." Clark said. "Say Ace can I ask you a question?" Ace had hung up the phone, "Sure." "Are you and Ethan, well, dating?" Clark asked. "Do you like him?" Ace stood there for awhile, "Well, I do like him as a friend but I think that's all." "Why?" Clark asked as he sat down. "Well, first he's way too young for me. And he's Bruce's son I would be uncomfortable dating him." Ace said. "Well, I think he has a little crush on you." Clark said. "Maybe you should give him a chance who knows he might be the one for you." Ace looked Clark his aqua blue eyes, "I know who the one for me is and he's sitting right across for me." Clark looked Ace in his dark eyes, "Ace how can you say that after what I did to you?" "Clark I have never stopped loving you and I never will." Ace said. "Well, Ace." Clark stated; his eyes watered up, "I love you and want you back." Ace leaned over the table and gently placed his lips on top of Clark's; they stayed like that for a few minutes and only pulled away because Prudence came to them, "Daddy color with me." Ace picked up Prudence and placed her on his lap, "Okay sweetie." Ace grabbed a blue color, "No daddy. Red." Prudence stated. "Okay, red it is." Ace said.

It's was about midnight when Ace finally was able to put down Eliza who refused to go to bed. He walked into the living room, "Finally she went to sleep." He sat down on the sofa, "Man that girl can stay up." Clark said. "Clark you don't have to still sleep on the sofa, you can sleep in the bed with me." Ace said. "Well, Ace I'm still having doubts about us getting back together." Clark said. "What? Why?" Ace asked. "Ace I cheated on you. How can you still want me?" Clark asked. "Clark I love you that's why I still want you back." Ace said. "But Ace." Clark stated. "Clark let's just see how it goes I mean we both still love each other." Ace said. "Ace, I just wanted to hear all that from you. I do love you and want to be with you for the rest of my life." Clark said. The next thing they knew they were both in Ace's room making out on his bed. Clark was on top of Ace placing soft kisses on his neck, he then began sucking on his on his collar bone. "Oh, Clark I missed you so much." Ace moaned out. "Me too." Clark then began to lick his way down Ace's chest; he then slowly removed Ace's pants and scooped his cock into his mouth and began to move it in and out.

--Next Morning--

Ace awoke with Clark's strong arms wrapped around his body, "Hey handsome wake up." Clark slowly opened his eyes, "Hey, morning. So are we really back together?" Ace looked into Clark's eyes, "I love it when you play dumb. Of course we're back together." "Great cause this will make seven years together." Clark said. Ace's eyes widen, "Oh my god you're right. So what you wanna do?" "Well, you kinda promised Selina that you'll take the kids over." Clark said. "That's right. Well, that's not until at least noon." Ace said. "Well, how about we just hold each other until then or at least until the kids wake up." Clark said. The door to the room opened, "Daddy we hungry." said a voice. "Mark are your brothers and sisters up as will?" Ace asked as he sat up. "Yes." Mark stated. "Okay go sit down at the table and we'll be right there." Ace said. "Okay." Mark said as he shut the door. "Well, that didn't last." Ace said. "Was good while it did." Clark said. The both of them got out of bed and got dressed as quickly as they could. As they were walking out Ace grabbed his head and gasped for air again images began to flash in his mind but this time he could make out a few of them. He saw his sons Allen and Jake standing back to back with two ladies and they were surrounded by several beings and lightning was swirling around them. As he came out of the vision he fell to his knees, "Ace are you okay?" Clark asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. I had a vision again." Ace said as Clark helped him up. "Was it the same one as last time." Clark asked. "I think so. This time I could make out images." Ace said. "I saw our sons; Allen and Jake standing back to back with two ladies and they were surrounded by beings." "Who were they?" Clark stated. "I don't know. Well, let's not worry about it clearly it's a future based vision and I'll have a lot of time to found out." Ace said. "Okay if you say so." Clark said. They both walked into the living room to find all of their kids playing, "Okay so what do you all want to eat?" "Pancakes!" James shouted. "No, eggs!" Denis yelled. "Okay how about both." Ace said. All the kids looked at each other, "Okay." Pierce stated. "Now remember today we are all going to see uncle Bruce and aunt Selina." Ace said. "Ace are you sure we should still take them? What if you have another vision?" Clark said. "Yeah I promised Selina and besides even if I do have a vision it won't matter I can't control them." Ace said.

Ace and Clark are standing in the living room waiting for their kids to get ready, "Ace, will you marry me again?" Ace looked into Clark's aqua blue eyes, "Yes Clark, I'll marry you again." Clark embraced Ace into a hug filled kiss, "Daddy we are ready." Pierce said. "Okay." Ace pulled away from Clark, "Let's go." Just as they started towards the door there was this loud crashing sound, Ace looked at the window it had shattered; he then looked at Clark and he had blood on his hands, "Clark!" He ran to Clark and caught him before he could fall forward. "Clark, what happened?" "I-I-I-I-I've been………shot….." Clark said. "How? Your skin is like steel." Ace said. "Kryptonite." Clark said. "Who would do this?" Ace questioned. "Pierce ran and get your mother and aunt Emma." "Okay, daddy." Pierce sprinted out of the apartment. A few minutes later he had returned with Lexa and Emma, "Oh god. Pierce take your brothers and sisters into the next room." Lexa said. "Yes, mommy." Pierce stated as he led them to his dad room. "Ace what happened?" Emma asked. "I don't know. We were all walking to the door then I heard this loud noise and saw Clark bleeding." Ace said. He then looked at the window, "The shot must've come from that building." His eyes flashed blue, "Ace, no, stay here. Clark needs you right now." Lexa said. "Ace listen to me getting revenge isn't the answer. Emma help me here." "Ace, Lexa's right Clark needs you don't go." Clark tighten his grip on Ace's hand, "Ace go. Get them for me." Ace looked into Clark's blood shot red eyes and blood is slowly seeping from them, "Not until I do this." He lifted his hand to the bullet wound and within a matter of minutes all the shattered pieces of the Kryptonite flew into his hand. "There you should heal soon. I'll be back." His body transformed into black orbs and vanished. Both Lexa and Emma looked at Clark, "How could you tell him to go? You know what will happen if he loses himself." "I know, they only do this to him because they think Ace won't fight back." Clark said. "And you think that's a bad thing?" Emma asked. "Yes." Clark stated. "Why?" Emma asked. "Well, now they'll know not to mess with him."

Ace's body was formed by black orbs on the roof of the building next door, he then began to look around to see if he could find anything that the shooter left behind. After a few minutes of searching he couldn't find anything, but just as he passed an AC unite he was hit with a vision; he could see the gunman setting up his weapon and fill it with two bullets one was glowing green which must've been the kryptonite bullet and the second was fully black. 'Come on hurry up and shot them. We need to get back the boss is waiting for us.' 'Keep quite this has to be just right. If I miss Ace will be alarmed and he'll pick up our thoughts.' As he came out of the vision he gasped for air, "Wait they only shot Clark. Who else were they after?" Just then he heard this loud gun shot when he looked in the direction the sound came for he saw a fully black bullet hurling it's way towards his room, "No my kids." His body vanished in a puff of smoke. In his room are all of his kids who are playing video games, his body is formed by smoke, "get down!" All of his kids hit the floor as a bullet came crashing trough the window he lifted his hand and caught the bullet with his telekinesis. His eye widen in shock, "How did they get this?" Emma and Lexa came running into the room, "Ace what happened?" "Whoever they are they weren't just after Clark. They were also trying to kill one of my kids." Ace said as he grabbed the bullet out of the air. "Ace what is that?" Lexa asked. "This is a bullet called Mind-Term." Ace said. "What does it do?" Emma asked. "When someone is shot with it, it attacks their mind and causes them to go insane but if someone with psychic abilities is shot with it, it will cause their mind powers to attack them." Ace said. "Ace let's go to the other room and talk about this." Lexa said. "Okay. How's Clark doing?" Ace asked as they walked to the other room. "He's healing fine." Emma said. "Really? I didn't think I go the bullet out in time." Ace said. "I think you got it out just in time." Lexa said. They walked into the living room and Ace saw Clark sitting on the sofa holding his stomach, "Wow that bullet hurt more then I thought." Clark said. Ace hugged Clark, "Hey that hurts." Ace pulled away, "Oh sorry." "I didn't say stop." Clark said. Ace wrapped an arm around Clark, "Did you get the one who did this to me?" "No they moved from where they shot you and tried to shot one of my kids." Ace said. Clark shot up, "What?" "Calm down they are okay. I stop the bullet from hitting any of them." Ace said as he held a fully black bullet up. "What's that?" Cark asked as he looked at the bullet. "The bullet that was shot at my kids; which one I don't know and by who well, I'm still clueless on that one too." Ace said. "Ace we have to find out who because they might come back and try again." Clark said. "I know but I can't figure it out here." Ace said. "Ace what are you talking about?" Clark asked. "Take care of them all." Ace said; he then kissed Clark as his body transformed into black orbs and vanished. "Ace!" Clark yelled he reached his hand out. "Clark, no! someone has to stay with the kids." Lexa yelled pulling his hand back down. "No! I want my husband back!" Clark yelled.

--Halliwell Manor--

Black orbs formed Ace's body in the attic, "Ace what are you doing here?" He turned around to the door and saw his uncle Leo standing there. "Uncle Leo someone tried to kill my husband and one of my kids." "What? Who was it?" Leo asked. "I don't know but they tried to use this." Ace said as he held up a fully black bullet. "Where did you get that?" Leo asked. "You tell me. Cause you see I was told there where no more of these." Ace said as he handed the bullet over to Leo. "Ace there are no more of these. We destroyed them." Leo said. "Then how did the gunman get that bullet?" Ace asked. "I have no idea." Leo said. "Ace when these bullets were formed they were only formed for the safety of the magical world that is all." "From who?" Ace asked as he starred at his uncle. "You." Leo stated. "From me, why?" Ace questioned. "Ace not only are you a charmed one you're the son of the most feared and most powerful demon to ever live. And because of your uncontrollable psychic powers with your split personality we had to take safety measures." Leo said. "So if you had to you would've shot me with those bullets?" Ace asked. "Yes if they had to they would've but I would've done it." Leo said. "Thanks uncle Leo that is a little better." Ace said. "Ace you have to know that these bullets were supposed to be destroyed on my orders. I have no idea where anyone would get them if they weren't." Leo said. "Well, uncle Leo they got them somewhere from someone and I intend to find out where and who." Ace said; his body transformed into black orbs and Leo watched as they vanished.

--Ace's Penthouse--

Clark had just gotten out of the shower as black orbs formed Ace's body, "Hey you're back. What happened?" Ace turned to the sight of a shirtless Clark who has only a towel on. "Well, I had to find out where those bullets came from." "Well, how'd it go?" Clark asked. "Well, I'm still clueless as to where they came from." Ace said; he then glanced Clark up and down. "So how about we get that towel off of you." "Hey the kids are in the other room." Clark said. "Well, I'll be quiet if you will." Ace stated. "Okay let's just go to the room first." Clark said. Clark and Ace slowly walked into the master bedroom but just before they could enter Allen came out of his room, "Daddy read me a story." "Clark, I'll be right back." Ace said. "Okay but hurry up. I can start without you and I just might." Clark said. "Hey now don't talk like that in front of Allen." Ace said. "Sorry, I'll wait for and I won't talk like again in front of the kids." Clark said. "Okay, I'll be there in a few." Ace said as he and Allen walked into the room he shared with Jake. Clark was in the kitchen when Ace had finally come out of the room, "Well, it took awhile but he is finally asleep. So where were we." Clark smiled at Ace, "Ace how do you know that these assassins won't come back?" "I don't." Ace stated. "That's why I have been telepathically and emphatically opened since I came back." "What? Is that safe?" Clark asked. "Yes." Ace stated. "But Ace every time you do that you lose yourself and Cayne comes out." Clark said. "I know but not this time I have control over what I pick up. It's usually bad emotions that bring Cayne out." Ace said. "Okay Ace I trust you." Clark said. "Good, now come on let's go to bed." Ace said as he pulled Clark towards their room.

--Next Morning--

Ace awoke to Clark's strong arms wrapped around his waist, "Hey I have to go to the office for a little while." Clark moaned softly as he fully awoke, "Do you have to?" "Yeah, I have a meeting with Bruce. We are tying to fight Lex from taking Neo Company." Ace said. "Okay what time will you be back?" Clark asked. "Noon." Ace stated as he got out of the bed. "Okay." Clark said as he rolled over and went back to sleep. Ace starred at Clark for awhile he was glad that he and Clark got back together, but then again it was bound to happen. That's what their relationship was like they would break up then get back together at least that's what they have been doing for the past seven years they've been dating. He can remember their first date, they had gone to a local football game; which is what Clark wanted to do and from the moment they've been dating.

A lady stands on top of the building next to Ace's penthouse she watches as he leaves his building, "Fool you have no idea that I could kill with a mare thought." She smiles as two guys walk on to the roof, "Milady he stopped us from killing the boy and he saved his lover from death." "And who's fault is that?" "Milady please we didn't think he would be able to pinpoint where we shot his lover and then be quick enough to save the boy." "Fools you never underestimate Ace he 's the son of Soul and he has both Salem witch and Halliwell witch blood in him. And now he knows of the bullet you used on the boy." "Not to worry milady he has no clue where they came from or about us." "You're right he doesn't and he never will." She then lifted her hand and launched a fireball at both men and they turned into dust. "I'm coming for you Ace and I will kill you and anyone who tries to stop me.
