Kara walked into the Talon around eight on Thursday night. She looked around and saw Clark sitting at a table studying.
'Who comes to the Talon to study?' Kara asked herself, rolling her eyes. She started walking toward him when two other girls walked over and sat in the two seats across from him.
"Hey Clark." The brunette said, smiling. "What are you up to?"
"Oh hey, I'm just trying to figure out some of this trig homework." Clark told her.
"What for?" The blonde asked. "Don't you already have a full scholarship to Met U?"
'Clueless blonde. Gives the rest of us a bad name.' Kara thought.
"Yes for Football, but they're still gonna be looking at my final GPA." Clark told them.
'Duh' Kara rolled her eyes again.
"Well when you're done playing with your protractor, there's a party over at Katie's house." The brunette told him.
"Her parents have a hot tub." The blonde said, trying to persuade Clark to go. Clark looked uncomfortable for a second before he could speak.
"Really?" He asked. The girls just burst into giggly laughter. "Thanks, but I still got a lot of work to do here." Clark told them. They stopped their laughing and looked upset.
"Okay. Well why don't you drop by later if you finish." The brunette said, a hopeful smile on her face. Clark just gave a small nod.
"See ya." The blonde said as they both got up and walked over to another group of guys. Kara smiled to herself and moved to sit across from Clark.
"Hey Clark." Kara said, mocking the other girls, making her voice higher and a little squeaky and flirty. "You wanna go in the hot tub with me." She started twirling her hair around her finger, "We can totally make out and have sex. Aha." Kara gave a high, squeaky laugh.
"You're too good at that. It's scary." Clark said, getting up and walking toward the counter. Kara smirked and followed behind him.
"I know, lots of years of mocking them." Kara smirked as she past the two girls from before. Apparently they had heard part of what she said.
"She is cute." Martha said as they walked up to the counter, apparently she saw both the girls talking to Clark.
"Which one?" Clark asked, looking back.
"Both. Thinking of asking one of them out?" Martha asked before turning to get both of them lattes.
"Yeah, then you could be a grandmother by the time Clark starts college." Kara muttered, not loud enough for Martha to make out any of it. Clark nudged her with his elbow to quiet her.
"Yeah, just so I can ruin it just as we're getting close by having to lie about who I really am." Clark answered sarcastically.
"Subtle Clark." Kara muttered.
"Just like I did with Lana." Clark finished.
"Clark, there's someone out there for you." Martha told him.
"Who? Mom, a girl would have to be crazy to get into a relationship with me." Clark told her.
"Perfect. Take either dipstick one or dipstick two." Kara said, earning a glare from Clark. "And that's prolly my cue to get out of here. By Mrs. Kent. Later Clark." Kara gave them both a smile before leaving and heading back for the apartment.
"Where've you been?" Jason asked, getting off the couch and walking over to her as she walked into the apartment.
"Talon, makin fun of overly preppy slutty girls." Kara answered, smiling. Jason just shook his head. "What, they practically told Clark they'd sleep with him if he went over to one of their houses for a 'Party.'" Kara said, making quotations around the word party.
"Well Clark's a big boy, he can take care of himself." Jason told her.
"Yeah, well to me he's a baby so I gotta watch out for him." Kara told him smiling. "So do you have anything planned for tonight?" Kara asked, wrapping her arms around Jason's neck.
"Well maybe we could find something to do." Jason said, leaning down and brushing her lips with his. Kara pulled him down closer to her and they started moving toward the bedroom when the phone rang. Irritated, Kara reached down and answered it, pulling slightly away from Jason.
"Hello?" Kara asked, partially out of breath, and it didn't help that Jason had started kissing her neck, trying to pull attention away from the phone.
"It's Dean." Kara heard Dean's voice clearly over the phone.
"Dean" Kara said, trying to get through to Jason that kissing her neck while she was on the phone was a bad idea but he didn't listen.
"What's going on?" Dean asked, sounding suspicious.
"Dean, now's not a good time." Kara tried telling him, trying not to give a small moan.
"Why? What's going on?" Dean asked.
"I-I." Kara started, trying to think up an excuse, "Homework. Really hard. Chem test tomorrow."
"Yeah, of course." Dean said, not believing it.
"I'll call you tomorrow after school, okay." Kara hung up the phone and threw it on the counter before glaring at Jason.
"What?" Jason asked, looking innocent.
"You realize if Dean would've figured out what was going on, he would've come to Smallville and beat your ass?" Kara asked.
"I couldn't help myself." Dean said, giving her puppy dog eyes. Kara just rolled her eyes and started kissing him again.
The next morning, Kara woke up as her alarm clock beeped annoyingly loud.
"Son of a bitch." Kara said into the pillow, her voice muffled. Kara started hitting around where the alarm clock but never found it. Frustrated, Kara picked up her head and turned off the alarm before dropping the clock on the floor.
"Tired?" Jason asked, walking in and sitting next to her. Kara just turned to face him and glared. "Alright, I give." Jason said, holding his hands up defensively.
"Too early." Kara groaned.
"Well it didn't help you were up most of the night." Jason said, smirking down at her.
"Hey, you weren't complaining." Kara said, sitting up and holding the sheet over her chest. Jason just smirked before kissing her and leaving the room. Kara muttered a bunch of words under her breath before she finally got up to take her shower and change for school. She walked out of the room in a black long sleeved shirt and dark blue jeans. Jason smiled at her as she made her way over to him, tiredly. He held out a star bucks cup for her.
"I love you." Kara smiled appreciatively and kissed him before taking the cup.
"Love you too." Jason smiled as they both made their way to the door. "See you tonight?"
"Duh." Kara smiled and gave him one more kiss before heading to her car and driving to school.
"Tired Kara?" Chloe asked as Kara walked into the Torch. Kara just groaned and walked over to one of the desks and put her head down.
"What did you do last night?" Clark asked.
"None ya." Kara said, her head still on the desk.
"Never mind then." Clark said, turning back to Chloe who was still on the computer. Kara groaned again before pulling herself up from the desk and walked over to the computer Clark and Chloe were huddled around.
"Who's that?" Kara asked, leaning against Clark sleepily.
"Alicia Baker." Chloe answered.
"Okay, need more than that." Kara said, taking a sip of coffee.
"She's a meteor infected person. She can teleport. She had a little obsession with our young Mr. Kent a little over a year ago and when he tried turning her down, she tried to kill him and Lana." Chloe explained.
"What?" Kara asked, feeling out of the loop.
"She didn't succeed. She didn't know what she was doing." Clark tried to cover up for Alicia.
"She was sent to Bell Reive and it says here Alicia made a full recovery." Chloe said, reading the file before turning to look at Clark.
"She was telling the truth." Clark said, a small smile on his face.
"And that, I take it, is exactly what our Mr. Kent wanted to hear." Chloe said, crossing her arms and smiling up at him, who's smile had widened.
"Clark, you like this girl?" Kara asked, concerned that Clark might get hurt.
"Yeah, I kinda do." Clark nodded. The bell rang, signaling five minutes until class. "Come on Kare-bear. Time for class." Kara just groaned again and allowed herself to be led to class by Clark. When they got to the room, Kara immediately took her seat and took another sip of coffee before putting her head down. She could tell Clark was smirking and she heard him planning a way to wake her up.
"Don't even think about it." Kara said, pointing a finger at him, not looking up. Clark stopped planning to wake her up and let her sit there with her head down.
"Thanks for letting me borrow your notes Clark." Kara smiled at lunch. After third period, she'd finally woken up completely.
"Well if you wouldn't have been asleep." Clark started. Kara silenced him with a playful glare.
"I was tired, bite me." Kara told him. Clark moved in playfully and Kara held up her hand. "Joke." Clark smirked and backed off. "So what are you gonna do about Alicia?" Kara asked.
"I don't know. If she really has changed, I should give her a chance." Clark told her.
"You like her. You really like her." Kara said, smirking.
"No I don't." Clark said, looking down.
"Clark, you know you can't lie to me. Don't try." Kara told him.
"I hate that." Clark told her.
"Hey, you got your own powers, I got mine." Kara said.
"Got your what?" Chloe asked as she came over to the table with Lana beside her.
"Nothing. Have you talked to Lois lately?" Kara asked, turning to Chloe.
"Yeah, she said she's coming down from Met. U in two weeks." Chloe told her.
"Cool. I miss Lois." Kara said, smirking at Clark who groaned at the mention of Lois, "She's the only other person I know who can annoy Clark as much as me."
"Kara." Clark glared.
"Anyway, I'm heading off." Kara said, getting up.
"Where are you going?" Lana asked.
"Going to surprise someone." Kara smirked before leaving the lunchroom and sneaking out of the school.
When Kara arrived at Central A&M Kansas ten minutes later, she started looking for Jason. She spotted him walking down the steps and smiled as she ran down to catch up to him. When Jason reached the bottom, Kara put her hands over his eyes and started kissing his neck.
"Guess who." Kara said, smirking against his neck as he shivered slightly as she continued kissing his neck.
"Kara." Jason said, trying to sound upset that she was ditching school but it came out as a moan.
"Correct, you get a prize." Kara said, moving around him and kissed him, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him down more. They stayed like that for a few minutes before Jason pulled back.
"Kara, what are you doing here?" Jason asked.
"School was putting me to sleep. Needed a pick me up." Kara smiled innocently.
"You're ditching school." Jason said in disbelief.
"Just my last two periods." Kara said, shrugging.
"Kara." Jason said in a disapproving tone.
"Hey, I've done worse." Kara shrugged again.
"Kara." Jason repeated.
"Come on." Kara said, grabbing his arm and pulling him with her.
"Where are we going?" Jason asked, trying to stop her.
"You'll see." Kara smiled, pulling Jason with her who just followed her, smiling and shaking his head.
Kara and Jason walked out of the movie theatre in Metropolis five hours later, Jason's arm around her waist and Kara's head resting on his shoulder.
"See, told you. Much more fun that class." Kara smiled as Jason kissed the top of her head.
"Much better." Jason agreed, walking back to Kara's car which they'd taken since it was Kara's idea. Kara's phone started to ring and she sighed, figuring it was probably Clark wanting to yell because she ditched school.
"Hello." Kara answered.
"What are you doing with that boy?" A familiar voice asked Kara. Kara sucked in a breath and moved away from the car, out of earshot of Jason.
"Father. You having me followed?" Kara asked, looking around.
"I just want to make sure my daughter is okay." her father told her.
"I know you better than that. Why are you having me followed?" Kara demanded.
"I just want to make sure you're alright." Her father said, trying to sound innocent.
"Bye." Kara said, hanging up on him and turning her phone on silent before walking back to the car.
"What's the matter?" Jason asked.
"Nothing to worry about." Kara said, shaking her head.
"You sure?" Jason asked, concerned.
"Yeah, lets get back home." Kara said, getting into the car and driving to the apartment.
The next day, Kara woke up around noon since it was Saturday. She walked out of the bedroom and into the living room where Jason was studying. Kara walked over to the couch and sat down beside him.
"Good morning." Kara said with a small yawn and laid her head on his shoulder.
"More like Good Afternoon." Jason said smiling.
"I was tired." Kara said sheepishly. "So what are we doin today?" Kara asked.
"Whatever you want to do." Jason told her, smiling. Kara thought for a second before smiling.
"I know. It'll be fun." Kara said, turning to look at him.
"What do you have in mind?" Jason asked, closing his book and putting it on the table before turning to her.
"Well you might wanna get a jacket." Kara smiled before walking back into the bedroom. She grabbed a pair of jeans and a purple long sleeved shirt and changed into them before putting on her make-up and fixing her hair. She grabbed a white coat and walked back out the door where Jason was waiting with a jacket.
"So where are we going?" Jason asked again.
"You'll see." Kara smiled, grabbing Jason's car keys and walking out to the car.
"Kara." Jason called her name and tried not to fall. Kara had taken him to the ice ring, having a urge to go ice skating. She had been skating since she was little but seeing Jason struggling on the ice, he hadn't. Kara gave a small laugh before skating back over to him.
"Come on, it's not that hard once you get your balance." Kara said, taking his hand in hers and skating slowly along.
"I haven't done this since I was twelve." Jason said, trying not to fall.
"You'll get used to it again." Kara promised. True to her word, after ten minutes, Jason got used to it again. Kara looked forward and saw Clark skating with a blonde girl Clark had Chloe check up on.
"Oh my god." Kara said shocked.
"What is it?" Jason asked.
"Clark and Alicia." Kara pointed to the two of them skating a few feet in front of them. "They're cute together." Kara watched as Clark and Alicia fell to the ground, Alicia on top of him. "Awww." Kara smiled.
"Come on." Jason said, taking Kara's attention away from Clark and Alicia and back to him. He pulled Kara to the side of the ring and kissing her lovingly. Kara smiled against his lips and pulled him down closer to her, forgetting where they were until they lost their footing and fell on the ice. They were both laughing for a few seconds at how caught up they got. Jason got up on his feet and helped Kara up, smiling down at her.
"I'm cold." Kara said, heading off the ice and over took off her skates, Jason following her.
"I'll get you hot chocolate." Jason told her, kissing her cheek before moving to get the hot drink. Kara sat down on a couch and waited for Jason to come back. Kara turned to look around the room and saw Clark and Alicia sitting close together on a couch together. She looked around and saw someone walking around, taking pictures.
"Hey." Kara said, flagging him over. Kara handed him ten bucks and pointed to Clark Alicia. She wrote down her address and told him to send the picture there. He nodded and walked over to them and snapped the picture of the two of them.
"Here you go." Jason said, handing her a hot cup and sitting down beside her. Kara smiled and took a sip before snuggling closer to Jason.
"This is nice." Kara said softly as Jason wrapped an arm around her. The guy taking pictures came back over and took one of her and Jason before leaving them alone again. "See, I'm full of fun ideas."
"Yeah you are." Jason nodded, giving her a small kiss. Kara looked at her watch and saw it was almost six.
"We should go back home." Kara said softly.
"Alright." Jason said, getting up and helping her up and out to the car.
On their way back, Jason ordered Chinese for the two of them. They walked in with the take out bag and walked into the living room where they ate comfortably on the couch.
"So what now?" Jason asked when they both finished.
"Well." Kara smirked before kissing him again. Jason smirked against her lips and picked her up off the couch and started leading her toward the bedroom when her phone started ringing. "Damnit." Kara said, breaking away from him and taking her phone out. Jason started kissing her neck, making her let out a small moan.
"H-Hello?" Kara asked, trying to steady her breathing.
"What are you up to." Her father asked. Kara broke away from Jason and walked away out of earshot.
"What do you want, can't you leave me alone?" Kara asked bitterly.
"I want to see you." Her father said.
"No." Kara said harshly.
"I want to talk to you." Her father said innocently.
"Well I don't want to see you." Kara said upset.
"Either you come up to Metropolis or I'll come down to Smallville. Maybe I could talk to young Mr. Teague." Her father told her.
"I'll be there in an hour." Kara said, defeated before hanging up the phone. She walked over to Jason and looked up at him. "I gotta go. I'll be back in a few hours."
"Where are you going?" Jason asked, confused.
"Gotta go see someone." Kara said before kissing him and walking out the door.
Kara walked up to the mansion and opened the door, walking right in.
"Where is he?" Kara asked a guard standing by the door.
"He's in his office. Nice seeing you back Ms. Miller." The guard told her.
"Not nice to be back." Kara said before walking up a few flights of stairs and down a corridor. She didn't even bother to knock, she just barged in.
"What am I doing here?" Kara asked, looking up at the man with black hair and deep green eyes. Kara thanked god she didn't look like him.
"It's nice to see you too Kara." Her father said, getting up from his desk and moving to stand in front of it.
"What am I doing here father?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.
"Just wanted to check up on you. I wish you would've brought your boyfriend though." Her father said thoughtfully.
"Don't. He doesn't know about you and it's stayin like that." Kara told him.
"What, are you ashamed of me?" her father asked.
"You don't want me to answer that." Kara said bitterly.
"Oh that hurts sweetheart." her father said, sounding hurt.
"Yeah, I'm sure you are. Can I go now?" Kara asked, wanting to get back to Jason.
"How are you and Jason?" Her father asked.
"Just wonderful." Kara said, not trusting her father.
"Are you in love?" he asked.
"That's none of your business." Kara told him.
"Are you sure about that?" her father asked, a mischievous evil glint in his eyes.
"You stay the hell away from us." Kara said, her voice low.
"Is it a crime to want to know about my daughter and her boyfriend?" He asked.
"With you, yes. Now I'm happy with him so just stay the hell out of my life." Kara said before turning on her heel and walking out the door. She walked quickly through the rest of the house before heading out the front door and driving away as fast as she could.
Kara walked back into the apartment, angry and tired. She hated herself for even going to see her father.
"Where'd you go?" Jason asked. Kara knew she'd have to tell him eventually so she just sighed and walked over to the couch and sat beside him.
"I had to see someone." Kara said, not looking up.
"Who?" Jason asked, putting his finger under her chin and lifted it up so she was looking up at him.
"My father." Kara said, the bitterness present in her voice.
"Your father? Why couldn't you tell me?" Jason asked, confused.
"Because I hate him and I didn't want to go." Kara told him.
"You know you could've told me." Jason told her.
"I know I could've and should've but I don't want you knowing about him." Kara said.
"Why not?" Jason asked.
"Because he's not 'Father of the Year.'" Kara explained. "I want to keep him in the past and you in the present. I don't want the two coming together."
"Alright, forget about him. I'm here now and he can't do anything about that." Jason said, leaning over and kissing her.
'If only you knew.' Kara thought to herself but quickly dismissed the thought and kissed him back.
The next day, Kara went to see Clark and see how his date with Alicia went. Kara walked into the house and saw Clark sitting at the counter.
"Hey Kent. How was your date?" Kara asked, walking into the house and sitting down next to him. Clark muttered something that Kara couldn't hear. "What was that?" Kara looked up at the stairs where Martha was walking down, looking angry. "Hi Mrs. Kent."
"Kara, this isn't a good time." Martha told her.
"What happened?" Kara asked.
"Is dad still mad?" Clark asked.
"Why wouldn't he be. His only child just got married." Martha said, her arms crossed.
"What?!" Kara half yelled, looking at Clark, "You married her?!"
"Kara, can I talk to him alone please." Martha said, looking at Kara.
"Sure. I'll be in the loft when you're done getting in trouble." Kara said, walking out of the house and into the barn. Kara walked up to the loft and sat down on the couch, waiting for Clark. She didn't have to wait long because Clark came up ten minutes later.
"Okay, you got some 'splainin to do." Kara said, pointing a finger at him.
"I didn't mean to." Clark told her.
"Then how did it happen?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.
"Alicia gave me a necklace maid of red kryptonite." Clark explained.
"She did what?" Kara asked.
"We went to the ice ring and she said we should go to California. I said I couldn't do it and she left. She came back to the barn, told me she made me a necklace in Bell Reive and put it on. Next thing I knew, I was in a hotel room in Vegas." Clark said, telling her what happened. "She said she did it because the Doctor in Bell Reive liked her and warned her to stay away from me and she didn't want to."
"Wow." Kara said, not knowing exactly what to say.
"Yeah." Clark nodded.
"How long you grounded?" Kara asked.
"I wasn't told but I was given chores." Clark said, walking down from the loft into the bottom of the barn.
"Sorry to hear it." Kara said, following him down and leaning against a pole.
"Can you get me a bottle of water?" Clark asked.
"Sure, I'll be right back." Kara nodded, walking out of the barn and into the kitchen where there was no one to be seen. Kara grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge and just walked out of the house when she heard a gunshot come from the barn. Kara dropped the water and ran into the barn as fast as she could. When she walked in there, she saw Clark on the ground hovering over the girl Alicia. Kara freaked when she saw the blood on the front of Alicia's shirt.
"Oh god." Kara said, leaning down to look at her. "What happened?"
"He shot her." Clark said, looking at the man he threw through the wall.
"You should probably super speed it. I'll call the police." Kara said. Clark nodded and picked up Alicia and was gone a second later. Kara picked up her phone and dialed 911.
"Nine one one, what's your emergency?" A woman's voice asked.
"Um, there's been an attempted murder. My friend drove the victim to the hospital already but I have guy here. He's unconscious." Kara told the woman.
"Where is he?" The woman asked.
"The Kent Farm." Kara proceeded to give her the address before she hung up and made sure the guy was still knocked out from a distance. When the police got there, they hauled the guy away and started to ask Kara questions. She said she came over to talk to Clark and went into the house to get water and when she came back out she heard a gunshot and Alicia was on the ground. They nodded and left with the man, Dr. McBride in the backseat, still knocked out.
Kara walked into the Talon later that day, still scared for Alicia. She didn't know her but she knew Clark cared about her a lot. She looked around and saw Chloe sitting by herself at a nearby table.
"Hey." Kara said softly, sitting down.
"Hey, what's the matter?" Chloe asked, looking up at her.
"Two things. First, Clark's girlfriend Alicia's been shot." Kara told her.
"By who?" Chloe asked.
"Her psychiatrist Dr. McBride." Kara told her.
"Is she alright?" Chloe asked.
"She's fine, just a little hurt but she's living." Kara said.
"That's good. And what's the other thing?" Chloe asked.
"Malcolm." Kara said, anger slowly boiling beneath the surface.
"Your father?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah, him." Kara said, balling her fists.
"What did he do?" Chloe asked.
"He asked about Jason and asked if we were in love. I said it was none of his business and he said he wasn't too sure about that and the way he said it." Kara sighed and looked away for a moment before turning back to Chloe. "I think he might try and do something."
"Like what?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know but I'm a little scared." Kara admitted.
"Well Malcolm Miller does have a lot of connections around Smallville, especially the Luthors." Chloe said softly. "Don't worry. We won't let him do anything to either of you."
"Thanks Chloe." Kara said, giving him an appreciative smile. Lex walked in a second later and Kara made a disgusted look. "I'm gonna go."
"Alright. See you later." Chloe said, not sure why Kara's mood had changed from angry to scared to happy and then disgusted.
"Bye." Kara said, walking out the door as quickly as she could, but it wasn't quick enough.
"Kara." Lex said in his silky voice.
"Lex, go away." Kara said, moving for her car.
"I just want to talk." Lex told her.
"No." Kara said, snapping around. "Why did you offer Jason a job in your HR department?" Kara asked suspiciously.
"I felt bad for getting him fired." Lex answered.
"Then why did you get him fired." Kara asked, confused.
"A teacher-student relationship is a taboo that is hard to come back from. I didn't want to push him to make you do stuff you didn't want to." Lex answered.
"Yeah, but you were just fine to try countless times when I was fifteen. How is that any better?" Kara asked, crossing her arms.
"It wasn't. Which is why I never pushed you." Lex said.
"Bullshit, you know you were always doing your best to get with me." Kara said, rolling her eyes. "Just do me a favor and leave us the hell alone." Kara turned around and got into her car before driving quickly to the apartment.
When she walked in, she saw Jason standing in the kitchen.
"Hey." Jason said, walking out and over to her, "Where have you been all day?"
"Went to see Clark, had to talk to him badly, and then I went to the Talon and talked to Chloe." Kara said, deciding to leave out the part about Lex.
"What did you talk to Clark about?" Jason asked.
"It wasn't anything about me. He uh…Got married in Vegas to the girl Alicia." Kara told him.
"He what?" Jason asked, confused.
"I can't explain it but they got married, but thank god it wasn't legal. Mrs. Kent looked like she was about to kill him." Kara said, "Then I stayed because a guy shot Alicia in the barn and Clark took her to the hospital while I stayed behind and called the cops to pick up the guy."
"She was shot, is she okay?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, Clark said she's just in a little pain but they're feeding her morphine. She should be flying by now." Kara smiled.
"Well that's good then." Jason said, looking down at her.
"Yeah, it is." Kara nodded.
"You better now?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, why?" Kara asked.
"Just a thought." Jason smirked, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
"Really?" Kara asked, smirking and backing up toward their room.
