Here's the update!! enjoy and review!!!


"Do you believe in magic?" She felt stupid even voicing the question, but saying it out loud also made it seem more real to her. She was finally admitting that this was something supernatural and therefore out of her control. For, how can you control something you do not understand? Lois wasn't used to not understanding, even with this she thought she had figured it out only to have not one, but a set of smaller tattoos appear before her reflection. If one had brought her so much trouble, what would these three do? At least during her last encounter with magic she hadn't known what had happened, making her a little skeptical on the reality of the whole thing, but this had suddenly become undeniable. So the time came to admit defeat and maybe even submission to this unknown force that had taken over her body and mind.

Elena looked up from the couch, they had been awake now for a while and where watching T.V., well, at least she was. She had noticed her friend's silence and had decided to respect it. She knew she would talk when she was ready but the question that was sent her way at that moment made her scrunch her face in confusion. She looked at Lois. She internally shrugged, she looked serious enough, and so she decided to go along with it.

"Magic, umm, tough one. I guess it depends on your definition of it. Magic as in the magic of luuvvv.." a mischievous smile covered her face, and then she grew serious. "or magic as in witches and little green men that aren't aliens?" Maybe she was trying to open up after all. She had a feeling about her and Clark from the moment she saw them together. Where was he by the way? She began to wonder; they hadn't seen him since that morning.

"You mean leprechauns, and no, magic as in something outside of yourself making you see and feel things you had never experienced before. Magic as in needle less tattoos." She pulled down her shirt.

"Wow, wait, you told me you had gotten that in the United States." She leaned closer. "These weren't here." Their eyes met. "Oh goodness, you're serious. You didn't get these?" She took a deep breath. "How?" Should she believe her? Lois had been known to act crazy, but she had never lied to her, except for the tattoo. "If it's true, why didn't you tell from the beginning?"

"Would you have believed me?" Elena just raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, you're believing me now, I know. I guess I didn't believe it, not fully anyway." She admitted. They sat across from each other, suddenly lost in their thoughts. Lois let go of her shirt, letting it cover her again.

"So…" Lois laughed, Elena was so different than her, so much more patient, less abrasive, just as independent, but so much more quiet and less probing. Sometimes she wondered how they had stayed friends for so long. Then she saw genuine worry in her eyes and remembered. No one had cared for her so selflessly. Chloe was family and she was great, but she was nothing to Elena, and she still cared.

"I found something of Clark's back at home, Clark, you know the guy that saved us from the …" Elena rolled her eyes and her attempt of distraction.

"I know who Clark is Lois, it is hard to forget someone as good looking as he. Girl you are lucky." She stared off into space, and then blinked when she realized how distracted she had gotten. "You are good, but not that good." She laughed "Okay, so then what happened.

The both laughed good-naturedly for a couple seconds, before settling down enough for Lois to continue her story.

"Okay, do you want to know or not?"

"Is that really a question? Of course." She smiled and leaned back on the couch.

"I found a bracelet an old girlfriend of sorts gave him. He got really sad and mad at the same time so I gave it to him, but when he touched it," she remembered the moment all too well. " It was like lightning came from it, forcing us apart. My mind was suddenly full of images, but they weren't from my life, they were from his." When she had decided to tell Elena, she had also decided to just tell her the basics; after all, that was more than enough to test anyone's faith. So she told her everything, only leaving the truth of Clark's origin out. She was still digesting that one.

Elena listened quietly, little by little becoming convinced that it was for real. Lois' expression and the way they had been saved fit, even her weird faces, now she knew what it was about.

"Interesting." She kept quiet, her brows furrowed deep between her eyes in thought. She suddenly looked up at Lois. "Now the real question rises Lo, the only times you have ever told me about something that was bothering you was when you needed help, when you couldn't handle something by yourself. Now, I'm not complaining, I'm just curious, what can I do in this bizarre situation to help you?" Lois blinked furiously fighting back the tears that suddenly rushed to the surface. How did she do that? It wasn't very often that she did come to her with an issue, but every time she did Elena managed to break down her barriers, allowing her to open up completely.

So now, with the biggest problem she had ever encountered in so many levels, she closed her eyes and let the tears fall. Lois Lane cried very little, in time and quantity. Her tears fell silently across her cheeks. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

"This was meant for me, just for me and him, I know that now and the implications of it is scaring me Elena. This wasn't random in time or place and that scares the living sh out of me."
