SMALLVILLE: REVELATIONS
As Morgan Edge lay dying on the wheel of his car, a fresh bullet hole decorated his newly reconstructed face. With his life now snuffed out, his foot slams on the gas, sending the car careening down the brick driveway towards a crouched, Lex, frozen in fear, with nowhere to escape.
As Lex sees the car approaching, his life flashes before his eyes and strangely he gains a sense of comfort, reflecting on his time in Smallville and how for the first time, he was happy. The car closes in faster and faster, as Lex braces himself for impact… *CRASH* the sound of impact echoed throughout the estate. '…' "Huh?" said Lex.
In front of him stood the enigma, his closest friend, Clark Kent, with his shoulder in the hood of the car. Clark began to stand up, seemingly unscathed. He then tossed the car back as if it were a can of soda. "C-Clark?" Lex gasped, understandably freaked out, "How did you do that? You tossed that car, like…like it was a toy?!" Clark remained silent as he began to turn around and look at Lex.
As Clark stands up, he looked over at Lex and sees that he is safe. With his attention now on Lex, he reflects on how far Lex has come in the last couple of years and is overcome with a feeling of regret. 'Ever since I saved Lex from the car crash 3 years ago, he's been a good friend. His actions over the past 2 years have shown him to be very deserving of my trust, much more so than his father. He fears that he'll become like his father, but when I look at Lex, I see this enormous urge to do good in the world. This isn't how I wanted to introduce Lex to my world, I wish I could've explained this to him this out of choice, but it looks like that option has gone out the window.' He turns around and looks at Lex.
"Lex, I know you must have a million questions and I will answer each-and-every one of them," Clark says. The young Kryptonian was suddenly interrupted by the sounds of approaching cars. He uses his enhanced sight to see black vans pulling up in the distance. "Just not here. It's too dangerous." Using his super-speed, he grabs Lex, and speeds away to the caves.
Lex looks around with a confused and bewildered look, as he sees the familiar drawings on the light brown cave walls. "We're in the caves? H-how? We were just at Edge's place...CLARK! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"
"Lex," Clark says. "I need you to calm down, so I can explain."
"Oh yeah, sure Clark, explain to me how you collided head-on with Morgan's car, and how one second, we're at Morgan's estate, and now we're in the caves."
"Well, Lex," says Clark as he takes a deep breath, "My name is Kal-El. I come from a planet called Krypton, and as far as I know, I am the only Kryptonian on Earth."
"So, you mean to tell me that… you're not even human? You're…an alien?" Lex says, thinking he's finally gone mad.
"Yes, Lex I am. Due to my physiology, I am granted extraordinary abilities. My powers come from solar radiation. I have super strength, which is how I took the crash. I can run at super-speed, which is how I brought us here." Lex just stares at him for about a few seconds and finally says, "Oh and I suppose you can fly too, Clark?" in a sarcastic tone.
"Actually, no, but I do have heat vision and X-ray vision," said Clark as he then lit a pile wood aflame with his heat vision.
"Jesus, Clark, I was kidding." sighed Lex in exasperation. Lex then began to realize something, "Wait, so all those times I faced certain death but was saved, you mean, that was you?"
"Yes, yes, it was," Clark said.
"I don't know how I can thank you, Clark, but I know words alone won't do. But wow, you have to tell me everything about yourself. The fact that aliens exist is fascinating." said Lex, as he digested the information.
