General Lane looked irritated as his mind pondered of what Lionel said to him. "The boy you've been searching for. He's been right in front of you all long and you haven't even noticed. We know him and I knew there was something special about him, I just never thought it was him." His mind wandered who it could possibly be. There were only a few people that Lionel and himself knew and associated with. He was lost out of concentrations when there was a knock on his door. "Come in."
The door open as Dr. Emil stood there with a confused look on his face. "Dr. Emil, is there a problem?" The general spoke.
"Um, yes…we seem to have a problem…with your daughter." Dr. Emil spoke.
The general stood up and walked towards the doctor. "What seems to be the problem?
"I tried to take a sample of your daughter's blood like you said but…"
"But what?"
"Her skin it's…it's like her skin is made of steel. She broke two of our needles." Dr. Emil spoke.
"Is this some type of joke? Because if Lois put you up to this…"
"No Sir, I'm not joking…see for you self."
The general followed him down the hall and into the room. His eyes glared around noticing an empty room around him. "Where are they?"
"They were just here…where did they go." The doctor spoke.
General Lane was about to reach for his cell-phone when Lieutenant Wes Keenan walked towards him.
"Lieutenant did you find something?" The general spoke.
"Security just gave me this…" Wes handed the tablet over to the general. "Chloe, Lois and Lana just escaped though the main door."
"Escaped…how in the hell did they do that." General lane spoke.
"Chloe managed to find military disguises in a nearby closet while Lois picked the lock on the door."
General lane sighed irritated. "Sometimes I wish she didn't have my sense of determination and stubbornness."
"I did manage to activate the bug like you said Sir." Lieutenant Keenan spoke. He was surprised as soon as the Kent's left the house yesterday he snuck in unnoticed and bugged the living room and the Barn.
"Good, give me an update as soon as you hear anything Lieutenant. I have a feeling my daughter will give me all the answers I've been looking for.
The general didn't hesitate to smirk a little because whenever they came across something unusual in Smallville it did seem to lead them to the Kent's and he knew a smoke screen when he seen one. He did his research and knows Clark has been in trouble more than once with the law. While sometimes he was even caught with the Luthor's on unexplained events. But he knew it wouldn't be long for him to find out what Clark Kent was hiding.
"Lana are you sure you want to be dropped off here." Lois spoke.
"I'm sure…if Lionel or Lex knows anything about Clark, I'll find out." Lana spoke.
"Are you sure about this." Chloe spoke worried.
"I'll be fine…go." Lana waved as she walked to the Luthor mansion.
"Be careful." Chloe spoke.
"I will." Chloe waved as Lois drove out of the drive way. Lois watched her go and rolled her eyes and placed the car in drive. "If I didn't know better Lana has been spending a lot of time with Lex." Lois spoke.
"She's friends with him and she's dating Jason…remember." Chloe smirked.
"Ya but don't be surprised if she starts dating Lex next." Lois joked.
"That will be the day." Chloe mumbled. "If your father would ever find out about Clark do you think he would…you know. Experiment on him because he's not human."
"Chloe, how can you think that? My father would never do something like that." Lois scowled.
"Lois, he's a four star general for the army. I know you don't want to believe it but your father might have moved here to find out who the traveler is. He even mentions he was here to research on the meteor infected people. If he would find out what Clark is….and the fact your dating an alien might not go well with him." Chloe spoke.
"I know that." Lois scowled. "But it doesn't' mean my father is the type to believe in this extraterrestrial crap and he would never harm anyone." Lois spoke.
"He wouldn't hurt a person but an alien…" Chloe spoke.
"Chloe, can we talk about something then my father. How about we talk about Lionel and how he is not making the world a better place." Lois spoke.
They drove in silence as Chloe wandered about something. "Why do you think Lionel had a meeting with your father at the party?" Chloe spoke.
"I don't know Chloe, but I will find out. If Luthor is planting stuff in my father's head then I'll be sure to give him a reason to not mess with this lane." Lois sighed irritated. "You think Lionel is encouraging my father to research about the traveler don't you."
"Maybe then for all we know your father already knows about Clark and is on his way over here with the whole military." Chloe said suddenly worried.
"Chloe that is not going to happen, ok. Clark is home with his parents and is safe." Lois spoke.
"How can you say that, we just sneaked out of a military base? Your father is probably looking for all of us. Not to mention Bart which is now a fugitive that is hiding out at the Kent's farm." Chloe spoke.
Lois rolled her eyes. "This isn't the first time my father sent the military after me. Believe me there is nothing to worry about. Besides the first time my father scent the military after me was when I stole a tank for homecoming. When I seen him come in I ran back in the tank locked the doors and we had a shouting, staring contest that lasted almost an hour. It was the most fun I had in years until I passed out form lack of oxygen.
"Wow, I bet your dad grounded you for weeks." Chloe chuckled.
"More like almost two months. He wasn't too happy but that didn't' stop me from sneaking out." Lois grinned remembering those days." Anyway I think we should get home and put this whole crazy day behind us."
"Aren't you forgetting about something?" Chloe spoke looking at her oddly.
"Forgetting…about what?" Lois spoke playing dumb founded.
"Ah the part where you're indestructible…your skin made of steel…"
"Yes the part where I like to forget about." Lois glanced at her then back at the main road as she drove. "I have no idea how that happened but I have a pretty good idea Smallville knows." She said irritated.
"You think Clark…did this." Chloe spoke said surprised.
Lois smirked. "Come on Chloe you're not that dense are you. Smallville and I had a sinful but delightful rump last night..."
"Oh god too much details." Chloe gasp.
Lois grinned. "Sorry, my point was that his DNA is different from others and what ever happen last night in our sensual bonding seem to make me…
"Part kryptonian." Chloe spoke.
"Yes." Lois said annoyed. "Not like I don't enjoy being the indestructible super hero, but I want to make sure Clark didn't do this on purpose. "
"You think Clark would intentional do this." Chloe spoke.
"I don't know Chloe. The last moment I was with him he had that look in his eyes that he didn't want to let me go and he told me he loved me." Lois said surprised.
"He told you that." Chloe smiled.
"Even know we were high on kryptonite I think he met it. I can't even believe I told him I love him too." Lois spoke.
"That's great Lois. I mean I'm still shocked about you and Clark but I'm glad you two are together." Chloe smiled.
"Who would have thought…me and Smallville?" Lois smirked.
Clark sat on the couch in the living room as his parents didn't look to please that he broke Bart out of the military. "They had him sedated in a room filled with Kryptonite. I couldn't just leave him there. "Clark spoke.
"Clark I forbid you to go anywhere near Kryptonite. You could have been caught." Jonathan spoke.
"It wasn't his fault Mr. K…he was just helping me out." Bart spoke feeling bad that he put Clark in danger.
"I know you did the right thing Clark but there were other ways of saving Bart then risking your identity." Jonathan spoke.
"We know he was helping you out Bart but next time please be more cautious." Mrs. Kent spoke.
"It was my fault I got caught; besides I'll be sure to be cautious this time. The General seems to not like me much." Bart grinned.
Clark glanced at him and knew that look. "Bart, what did you do?"
"Nothing, except for telling him to go shove it. He demanded me to tell him who the traveler was. How in the world would I know who he is talking about?" Bart spoke.
Clark glanced at his parents then back at Bart. Before he could say anything the door bell rang. Bart jumped off the couch and looked at the door nervously. Clark made a move to open it when his father stepped in front of him. He pointed to the side door. "I don't' want you here if General Lane is here…go." Jonathan spoke.
"What." Clark protested until Jonathan glared at him. Clark sighed as he and Bart started to leave when there was a whoosh sound that flew past him. Bart almost jumped in surprised until he seen who it was.
Jonathan stopped also as the door was wide open leaving a breeze to blow by him. Martha turned around and was amazed to see who was standing there. "Lois." They all stared at her in surprise.
"How you did…when did you." Clark was confused as he stared at a smirking Lois glaring at him.
"I keep asking myself that same question farm boy." Lois spoke crossing her arms and glaring at him. She wasn't sure what she felt right now but she wasn't happy. She wanted a choice in the matter. Not to wake up one day and find out your half alien now because she fell in love with the extraterrestrial farm boy. She sighed and was glad she took Chloe home before she came here. She had a feeling this was going to be a long night.
"What do you mean?" Clark asked. He was happy to see her but it didn't seem that she was happy with him.
"Lois how did you? Do you have Clark's power?" Jonathan asked.
"Apparently it seems like I do…but I don't understand how." Lois spoke.
Martha was amazed and somewhat worried. "Are you ok?" Martha spoke.
"Ya I feel great…but I need to borrow your son for a moment. I just have to ask your son something ah...Private." Lois smirked.
Bart chuckled. "Well it seems like you two love birds can't get enough of each other." He joked.
"Oh shove it Shorty…this is important." Lois scowled.
"Lois." Clark glared at her.
"Well I'm sorry if I'm irritating you Clark. You're not the one that found out that she turned into super girl."
"Super…what…how." Clark asked.
"Maybe this is Jor-el doing…I mean you do still have your powers…right Clark." Jonathan asked.
"I do…But why would he give powers to Lois." Clark said. "No offense."
She'll get him back for that. "Maybe it had something to do with our sinful night together." she joked.
Clark face blushed as he glanced at his parents who glared at him.
Bart just chuckled softly. "When did this happen." Bart grinned.
Lois rolled her eyes. "Isn't he supposed to be locked up?"
"Ha, Ha. You wish." Bart smirked.
Lois sighed annoyed and grabbed Clark's arm. "I'll bring him back…promise."
"A moment later Mr. and Mrs. Kent watched as Lois flew past pulling a surprise Clark with her. Bart smirked and stood from the couch. "I think this is my time to leave Mr. and Mrs. K." Bart spoke with a small yawn.
Martha glared at Jonathan. He sighed knowing Martha wanted him to ask Bart to stay. "Bart you can stay if you wish." Jonathan spoke.
"Are you sure your ok with this…I mean I don't' want to get you in trouble or anything since I'm an outlaw now." Bart joked.
Martha shook her head and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure we can find some place for you to sleep and maybe by tomorrow this whole thing will be over with and General lane has come to his senses."
Jonathan gave them a reassuring smile hoping that would come true but he had a bad feeling this was only the beginning.
We need to find out if Jor-el knows anything about this. I mean this never happen to your past girl friends, right?' Lois spoke glaring at him.
"What makes you think I had any girlfriends?" He teased.
"Don't tease farm boy. I can see it in your eyes you and Lana had something." Lois spoke.
Clark smirked at the jealous look in her eyes. "Am I sensing a little jealously."
Lois glared at him. "I am not jealous of Miss Princess."
Clark smirked. "Fine whatever you say...Buttercup."
"Oh you didn't…" Lois ran after him and pushed him to the ground hard. She didn't realize how hard she pushed him until she found herself lying above him on the ground. She grinned as she realized the position she was in. "I might get used to this ability."
Clark took a deep breath as her hand trailed to his face and down his chest. He reached for hand and stopped her. "Lois I don't' think this is a good time for this."
"Are you sure about that… butter cup." She grinned as she thrust her hips forward to meet his. He gasped then glared at her. He knew he was falling in her lustful eyes and he knew he if she kept this up there would be no way of stopping. "Lois."
"Clark." She smiled pulling him forward and kissed him. He slipped his hands on her thigh wrapping her leg around her waist thrusting his hip up. Lois moaned as he leaned forward and kissed her deeply. She wrapped her legs round his waist, whimpering when she felt his obvious attraction to her. She pushed him harder to the ground which caused a slight tremor. "Did anyone ever tell you you're like a drug?" She moaned.
Clark thrust his tongue in her mouth pulling her closer as he groaned at the contact. He released his lip from hers. "No, but I'll take that as a complement."
Lois gasped as his lips went to her neck then moved to her breast. He gently pulled the sweater down off of her right shoulder along with her bra strap.
"Clark." She moaned as Clark's mouth latched on to her nipple. His tongue whirl around it gently sucking. Before she knew it she found herself standing up with her legs and arms wrapped around him. Moments later she found herself upstairs in the barn sitting on Clark's lap.
"Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are?" Clark gazed at her.
Such the romantic. "Yes you have...but you talk too much." She smiled as she gently moved her hands under his flannel shirt and unbuttoned it. She pulled him forward and kissed him again until they were both gasping for air. She released her lips from his and looked at him mischievously.
Clark grinned at her and wandered why she had a devious smile on her face. Oh well he would probably found out either way. It was getting hard not to say no to Miss Lane.
Moments later
"That was the second time I heard a tremor. There was no mention of earthquakes." Jonathan spoke as he glared at Martha that had a worried look. "What."
"Ah…maybe you should go check on Clark and Lois they seem to be taking a long time and it's getting late." Martha spoke hoping the feeling she got was just her imagination of what Lois and Clark were doing.
"I'll go and see what's taking them so long." Jonathan spoke walking out the door and into the barn. When he walked in he was surprised to find the barn in a complete mess. What the hell happened? "LOIS, CLARK are you in here?" he yelled.
He kept walking and started to head up the stairs when he seen a large hole going right through the top floor of the barn. What the hell. He was about to head up the stairs when he seen movement on the far left of the barn. "Clark if that is you, get over here right this minute."
He started to walk over when he seen Clark and Lois walking toward him sheepishly. As they got closer he could tell they were doing more than just rolling the hay. Both of them had hay stuck in their hair, clothes and Clark's flannel shirt was button crooked "You want to tell me what the heck happen to the floor." Jonathan spoke pointing to the large hole upstairs.
Clark faced blushed as he tried to think of a good reason. He couldn't really tell his dad Lois and him broke through the floor while they were making out. "Ah…
Lois rolled her eyes knowing Clark was too tongue tied to say anything. "We were playing and got a little carried away. I didn't know my own strength…I kind of broke… your floor." Lois grinned. "Sorry."
"You were playing" Jonathan crossed his arms and glared at them. He could tell they were lying because Clark face was red like an apple.
"Even know I'm older then you kids I'm not stupid. I know you two were doing more than just playing around. "Do I have to have another talk with you about not having sex in my house and the waiting until your married?" Jonathan spoke glaring at his son.
"Dad, we were not having sex." Clark spoke embarrassed.
"Ya Mr. Kent. Making out is completely different then having sex." Lois grinned while she smirked at Clark's red face. "Boy I wish I had a camera."
Jonathan glared at them. "Lois this is no time for jokes. You know wrong from right and so do you Clark. Is there a good enough reason you want to give me for this mess you made."
Lois rolled her eyes. "We could blame it on the fact were superhuman and our hormones are skyrocket."
Clark glared at Lois and shook his head embarrassed again.
"Just because your teenagers and superhuman doesn't mean you can't control your hormones." Jonathan spoke not happy at all about this.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kent…it will never happen again…promise." Lois spoke.
"I'll be sure she keeps her promise." A familiar voice spoke.
Lois turned towards the door way to see her father walking towards them. Shit, what was she going to do now? "Ah…Hi daddy. What are you doing here?"
"Trying to find my daughter and keep her out of trouble." General lane spoke. He then glared at Mr. Kent that walked towards him. "Sorry about the inconvenience Jonathan."
"No it's…no problem." Jonathan spoke slightly on edge on how he knew Lois was here.
"How did you know I was here?" Lois asked with a glare. "Keeping tabs on me again boss."
"Lo drop the attitude. We have more things to worry about now. And for starts were leaving." General lane said.
Lois sighed irritated. She gave Clark a quick hug and released him. "I'll see you tomorrow…and help you fix the broken floor." She smirked.
Clark smiled a little.
"You won't be coming back tomorrow." General lane spoke.
Lois glared back at her father. "What do you mean I won't be back?"
"It means were leaving…Smallville for good." Her father said.
"What…no I can't…I have school here and…
"Lo, I have to be back in Washington for a meeting. I'm not leaving you here with your irresponsible actions and this dishonest boy.
"Now hold on a second." Jonathan spoke staring at general lane. "What the heck do you mean dishonest."
General lane glared at Mr. Kent. "Do you know how many times your son has been in trouble by the law?"
"You have no right…
"Protecting my family is my right. I will NOT have my daughter date with an irresponsible boy." He spoke.
"Now hold on a second." Clark spoke not very happy about this.
"Clark." Lois glared at him.
Clark took a deep breath and took a step forward to stare at General lane. He was scared of him but he wasn't going to just let her father get away with this. He loved Lois…he couldn't bare the thought of her gone forever.
"She has her own right to stay if she wants." Clark glared crossing his arms.
Jonathan walked beside him and hoped Clark didn't do anything stupid. "Clark."
"I have the right to protect my family Clark. She is still underage so she goes where ever I go. Every time my daughter is around you, she gets herself in to more trouble than she did when she was away from here. And don't think I don't know about you hiding Bart here. He's a fugitive and you're helping him." General lane spoke.
"He didn't do anything wrong." Clark spoke angrily. "As you know he's different but that doesn't mean's he's a criminal.
"So you're admitting it." General lane spoke.
"Clark." Jonathan glared at his son. "What my son is saying is that Bart is special and is learning to cope of what he has. There are others like him and you know it. They are not a danger to society."
"Maybe that is true Mr. Kent but there are some that are dangerous. My daughter is infected and could be for the rest of her life because of your boy." General Lane spoke.
"Hello I'm still here." Lois spoke annoyed.
"What makes you think my son had anything to do with that?" Jonathan spoke.
"I don't know…wrong place at the wrong time, hanging out with the wrong crowd, maybe he's meteor infected." General lane spoke glaring at Clark.
Clark glared back not liking the look General lane was giving him.
"I had my eye on you for awhile now…I know you're hiding something and whatever it is I don't want my daughter involved." General lane spoke glaring at Clark.
Jonathan was about to say something when Lois stopped him.
"Daddy." Lois glared at her father not believing what he just said. She loved Clark and she loved her father. What was she going to do? "Clark is a good honest young man. You can't do this to us…I love him."
Surprised by that. General lane glared at them knowing this was going to be tougher then he thought. "I'm doing this to protect you Lo. This decision is final, come on." General lane glared at his daughter and waited for her to come to him.
Clark watched her turned to him then her father. "Lois."
Lois sighed sadly as a small tear fell down her cheek. "I'm sorry Clark." She ran past him and out the barn.
Clark tried to reach for her but his father pulled him back. "Clark…let her go."
Clark shrugged him off and stepped towards General Lane. "You're wrong to say that we don't belong together. I love your daughter." Clark says holding the urge to yell in his face.
He'll give the boy credit to say that to him in person. General lane walks towards him and glares at him. "IT IS MY RIGHT to protect my family no matter what. If you know what is good for you then you should move on with your life and stay out of my daughter's life."
General lane could see the anger in the boys eyes and for a moment he thought he seen his eyes flicker red. He sighed knowing he never wanted to do this but he knew it was for the best. "I'm sorry about the inconvenience Mr. Kent. I'll be leaving."
Jonathan watched him leave as he had one hand on Clark's arm knowing he was struggling to not run outside and find Lois. "Clark it's going to be ok."
"No, it's never going be ok." Clark slid to the floor with his father holding him tightly. He looked on with tears streaming down his face, watching his life, his future, disappear.
Lex sat alone in his study, slowly drinking a glass of brandy. He finally had his answers. But he didn't feel the joy or sense of victory he'd expected. He had hacked into his father's computer and found an email that he recently sent to General Lane. He opened it and for a moment he wished he hadn't. It was two video clips. One where Clark is sitting in a car that blows up suddenly. He is quite startled until he see's Clark walk out without a scratch on him. The second video is from the Halloween party. It shows an agitated Clark stepping towards his father. He thought a fight was going to happen but instead he is once again amazed at what he sees. His father was holding a wine glass moments before Clark eyes turned red and shot fire…fire out of his eyes shattering the glass. He couldn't believe this. Was this some type of trick? Then beside it was a picture file of a green meteor rock. What the hell was his father doing?
His mind started to wander if this was the secret Clark was holding back all this time. That Clark was a meteor freak. His thoughts were interrupted as there was a knock on the door. "Come in."
"Lex."
He glared up and smiled when he noticed it was Lana. He could tell something was troubling her. "Lana what's wrong." He got up from the desk and walked towards her.
"I need your help." Lana spoke.
"I think me and couple friends of mine are in…danger." It was a lie but he didn't need to know about it.
"Danger from what?" Lex was worried now. He really liked Lana and didn't' want nothing to happen to her.
Lana looked around then glanced at Lex. "From your father."
Surprised Lex sighed hoping his father wasn't up to his old tricks again. "What makes you think he would put you in danger?"
"He's been in contact with General Lane for awhile now. "He's trying to find meteor freaks. I don't trust him." Lana spoke.
"Why are you worried about meteor freaks?" He asked noticing that look on her face. "Is it a friend of yours?
"If I told you I was a meteor freak would you keep it a secret?" Lana spoke.
His eyes widened. "Of course…when did this happen? He asked wandering why he had the feeling she was lying.
"Awhile ago but I have friends that need help. I think your father knows who they are and I'm afraid…" Lana spoke.
"You have no reason to be afraid Lana…I will not let my father hurt you or anybody that is affected by this."
Lana gave him a reassuring smile. "How about my friends, how can we help them?"
Lex sighed and stared at her. He wandered if she knew about Clark. "Do you know about Clark?"
"What about Clark." She played dumb.
"I want to show you something." Lex walked over to his computer as she followed. He showed her the footage.
She was surprised as Lois shoed the video. She never knew Clark was indestructible. "It could be fake." Lana replied slightly worried that Lex knows about Clark's secret now.
"Lana I know you're worried but you don't have too. I'm not like my father and I'm not going tell anyone about this, but we do have a slight problem. Lionel emailed this to General lane and hour ago." Lex said.
"Oh god. I have to call Chloe and…
"Clark!" Lex smiled. "He's infected isn't he?"
"Ah something like that…are you willing to help." Lana asked.
"I don't' know… he did lie to me." Lex joked.
"Lex, if you don't do it for him do it for yourself. To prove you are not the monster your father has become." Lana spoke glaring at him.
"That's harsh…fine I'll do it." Lex mumbled.
Lana smiled. "You're making the right decision Lex."
"Speaking of decisions we need a plan. As soon as General lane reads that email..The Kent's will be waking up to find the army at their door step." Lex spoke as he had a bad feeling this was not going to end well.
General Lane didn't know what to think. His daughter locked herself in her room and didn't want to speak to him. He posted a guard by her door just in case she sneaked out. He waited until she was asleep and it broke his heart when he heard her crying.
He knew it was selfish of him but Lois was his daughter and he'll be damned if he didn't protect her. He knew nothing about the boy she was dating. He knew the boy had a secret and that was why he didn't want his daughter with Clark but mostly he was afraid to find out the truth.
Most importantly he had to find away to cure his daughter. He could imagine if others found out about his daughter or what they could do. He couldn't even think about it because he worked with other generals that were cold hearted bastards that would give up their own mother if they found out of them were meteor freaks. He was glad lieutenant Keenan bugged the house. He knew the information was not much but at least he did have some sort of lead. All he had to do now was find out who this person called Jor-el was.
He now sat in his office to think about what happened earlier today when a message popped up on his computer. He sighed and hit the button unfortunately it was from Lionel Luthor." He had the tension of deleting it when his curiosity got the best of him. He clicked on the button and a article came up. It was about the day of the meteor shower and there was a video log.
He hits play and watches as he is suddenly transfixed on the tape not believing his eyes. He watches as the tape plays in slow motion of an lighting strike that happened a couple weeks ago not far from here. It was in the middle of a corn field. There was a burnt spot in the center of the field. On the far right there seems to be a person lying there although he couldn't make out whom but knew it was a person. Nearby he notices a familiar car by the field. It's Lois his daughter. Surprised he continues to watch as Lois helps the strangers from the field. It was a boy as he clearly noticed the boy didn't have any clothes on. He sighed wandering why his daughter got caught up in strange events. The tape continues of showing a familiar person in a car that blows up. It then shows the boy walk out with a scratch on him. The boy's jacket looks awfully familiar. The last clip was from the Halloween party where it shows Lionel talking to Clark. He thought he seen everything until he sees Clark's eyes turn red and shoots fire shattering the glass Lionel held.
General's Lane was still surprised and knew no meteor freak they ever came across never have powers like this boy did. Everything that Lionel said was a true. He couldn't believe it. The day of the Meteor shower there was something that did came down with it, the traveler and it was Clark Kent.
Yes, this was a little sad and a lot of scheming plots. But don't worry this is not the end. There will be two-three more chapters left. I think I might make a sequel if the reviews are high enough.
Plus thanks to everyone who reviewed.
