"What do you mean you didn't know you could fly?" Lois folded her arms. "I would think I would notice something like that."
"Lois, I've never done that before, I swear. I mean, I've felt like I may have before but I don't think I actually ever did."
"So that was your first time?"
"Yeah."
"How come you could suddenly fly out of nowhere?"
"I think…I think it was because of you."
"Me? You can't be serious."
"Lois, when I'm with you I don't have to think about things. I just simply feel. You allow me to be who I truly am. I think that telling you my secret lifted the only barrier that kept me grounded."
A tear fell down Lois' face. "That is the most romantic thing I've ever heard Smallville. Although I guess I should probably stop calling you Smallville now."
"No. Don't ever stop calling me that. I hated it at first but now it's part of me, part of us."
"I love you, Clark Kent."
Clark raised his eyebrows at her.
"Smallville, I love you Smallville."
They kissed again before Lois pulled away, "So am I the first to know? I mean besides your parents? I suddenly understand why they were so protective now."
"Actually…um…" Clark was scared to death. He hadn't thought this far ahead and now realized that he was about to make Lois very angry. "…um you aren't the first to know."
"What? How? Who else in this world would you trust your secret with? Wait a second, don't tell me Lana knows. You said that you all couldn't be honest with each other. I swear if you told her and then made up some b.s. about your relationship with her, I'm leaving right now."
"No, no, no Lois. Well, Lana does know."
Lois reared back to punch him.
"But I didn't tell her. She kind of saw me when I saved her and Chloe from Lex's mansion."
"So that was you? I knew it, somehow I knew it was you." And then it hit her, "But that means you saved Chloe too. Which means…Chloe knows too. What the hell Smallville! Was I the only one who didn't know?"
"It was never meant to be like that. And I didn't tell Chloe either. She witnessed me catch a flying car one time without me knowing and called me out on it later." Clark explained.
"I just thought I was the first to know. I guess I wasn't as special as I thought." She began to walk away.
Clark stopped her, "Lois, it's because you ARE special, that you were the last one to know. I care about you more than anything else. I wanted you to be the first person that I actually told who I really was. I had searched all of my life for someone to share my secret with. Someone I could take that leap with. And there's no one I'd rather take that leap with, than you Lois. I think I knew you were the one, the very first time I looked into those beautiful hazel eyes."
Lois couldn't fight back the tears anymore and she grabbed Clark and threw herself into is chest. "I'm such an idiot. I didn't even think about your feelings. This is exactly why you waited to tell me."
"You are not an idiot Lois. You are the smartest, sexiest, and most breath taking woman I've ever and will ever have met."
"Just when I begin to lose my way, you bring me right back. I love you more than you could ever know. One day, you're going to change the world Clark, I just hope that I'm standing there by your side when it happens."
"You are the second person to tell me that I'm going to change the world. My dad was the other. Do you all know something that I don't?"
"Maybe we do, maybe we don't. You are the only one who can decide. I just want you to know that no matter what, I'll be there every step of the way. You don't have to do this alone anymore because we're in this together Smallville."
He picked her up and carried her to the couch. Their clothes quickly began coming off. Clark kissed along her neck and down her chest before reaching her stomach. She moaned slightly as she caressed his head. As they were about to make love for the very first time, they were abruptly interrupted as Shelby came running up the steps carrying a Frisbee and dropping it on the floor in front of them. Lois started sneezing as Shelby came up and gave her a big wet kiss on the cheek.
"I think that's Shelby's way of congratulating us." Clark laughed.
"Us? I'm the only one he licked!" Lois sneezed again. "He certainly knows how to ruin a moment doesn't he?
Clark only smiled at her.
"I swear if I didn't love you Smallville, I would never have put up with this dog." She reached over and grabbed the Frisbee while still looking at Clark. She pulled it towards her but it didn't budge. She looked back and saw that it was actually in Shelby's mouth. She pulled again a little harder but it still didn't move. "What the hell?" She got up, now only wearing her jeans and a bra, and pulled with all of her might. Shelby stood his ground, without the slightest movement or indication that Lois was having any effect on him.
Clark sat there laughing to himself. She was sexy standing there playing tug-a-war with Shelby. It didn't hurt what was she was wearing – or wasn't wearing.
Lois re-gripped the Frisbee and dug her heels into the ground and pulled as hard as she could but Shelby still hadn't moved an inch.
"I think…there's something…wrong with…Shelby," she grunted as she continued to pull.
"Oh yeah, there's something you should know about Shelby, Lois."
"What? That he has super strength or something!?"
"Well actually, yeah."
Lois let go of the Frisbee and spun around facing Clark. "You've got to be f*%king kidding me."
Back in the house, Chloe and Lana were both peeking out the window trying to see into the barn.
"Damn, I wish I had x-ray vision," Lana giggled.
"Well I wish I had super hearing." Chloe chimed in.
Meanwhile, Martha was in the kitchen trying to calm down Jonathan. He wasn't so much upset at Clark for telling Lois but was more upset that Clark hadn't come to him first. Martha tried to explain why Clark chose not to but Jonathan was still fuming. He eventually cooled off and joined the girls in the living room as they all waited for Lois and Clark to return. Clark was the first one to walk through the door. He watched as Chloe and Lana came running towards him. He opened his arms but instead, they shoved him to the side and grabbed Lois.
Clark rolled his eyes, "It's not like I'm the one who just revealed his biggest secret or anything."
His parents came over and hugged him. Clark met his father's gaze and started to apologize before Jonathan stopped him.
"It's okay, Clark. I understand. But we ARE going to talk later."
They sat in the living room as Lois started telling them what happened. Chloe and Lana both squealed at every emotional part of the story. Their eyes started tearing up when Lois started telling them about the moment Clark revealed himself. Jonathan and Martha smiled at each other as both knew the exact the feeling Lois had had when they found out about Clark's powers.
All three women, excluding Lois, were in tears by the time Lois got the dancing part. Even Jonathan had a few tears, but he quickly wiped them away before anyone noticed. When Lois got to the part about them floating, she stopped and looked at Clark.
"Can I tell them?"
"You were the first one to find out Lois, even before me. This is all you." He said, smiling at her.
"Tell us what?" Martha asked leaning forward and while resting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her hands. She seemed to be more into the story than Chloe and Lana.
"Well, we were holding each other as we danced. It felt so perfect. I closed my eyes and when I opened, we were sorta kind of floating."
Their jaws dropped.
"You guys, Clark can fly."
All four people who sat in front of them were speechless. Jonathan finally stood up.
"What do you mean, he can fly?"
"It's true Dad, I can. I don't know how but I can."
"Oh my god," Chloe exhaled.
Lana couldn't speak.
Martha got up. "How is this possible sweetheart?"
Clark told them his theory on Lois being the reason for new ability.
Lana finally broke her silence. "I want to see you do it."
"Well…I've kind only done it that one time. I'm not even sure how, really."
"Let's go outside, come on Clark it won't hurt to try," said Chloe.
"I don't know Chloe." Clark sighed.
"I think Chloe's right, you should try now." Martha said with assurance.
They all got up and went out to the driveway.
Clark paced for a few seconds, taking deep breaths. He had no clue how he was going to do this, let alone while an audience watched him. It was already pitch black out and he wasn't sure about testing out this knew ability in the dark.
"Alright everyone just back up a little bit. Let me try and figure this out."
"Clark, try to focus all of your energy into your legs and feet and try to push off. When you do, channel that energy thought the rest of your body," advised Jonathan.
"Since when can you fly Dad, I'm pretty sure it's going to be a little more complicated than that."
This time Lois walked over to Clark and placed her hands on his face. "Listen Smallville, you can do this. I'm right here and so are the rest of the people in your life who love and support you no matter what. Just take your mind back to when you were holding me as we danced. Don't think, just feel. Believe in yourself like you believe in me." She kissed him and then rejoined the rest of the group.
Clark closed his eyes and blocked everything else out, except for one thing: Lois' heartbeat. He began to breathe slower and slower as her heartbeat calmed him down. He slowly bent his knees and focused all of his energy into his legs and feet. The ground began to shake a little. Everyone in the grouped looked at each other. Clark took a deep breath and then pushed off the ground, shooting up like a rocket before disappearing in the darkness.
Jonathan, Martha, Chloe and Lana stood there in shock after what they head just witnessed. Lois stared into the sky and took a few steps forward as she searched for him in the darkness. Martha buried her head into Jonathan's body.
"Oh god Jonathan, what if he wasn't ready? He could get seriously hurt or worse."
"He'll be fine Martha, he's Clark."
Clark was soaring up in to the sky. When he finally opened his eyes, he stopped and remained suspended in the air, just above the clouds. He looked around and took in the view. He could see the Metropolis skyline along with all the lit houses in the surrounding suburbs. He closed his eyes and listened. He could hear so much more from up above the clouds. It amazed him that he had just discovered one of his greatest powers just after he revealed himself to the greatest girl he had ever met.
Suddenly the sky lit up behind him as he turned to see a row of lights heading right for him. He bolted to the side, just barely missing the wing of the commercial jet. The force of the plane caused him to lose control and he plummeted to the ground. He regained control a couple of times before losing it again. He finally crashed down into a field, creating a small crater. He slowly rose before it hit him. His blood began to boil and the old familiar pain that he had experienced multiple times, consumed his body.
He had landed in a field full of kryptonite.
