Fort Leavenworth Army Prison.
Mean while at the high security prison Lex had been transferred to after his abortive escape attempt that was stopped by Superman. 45 of Metropolis's finest were injured during the escape attempt on the holding facility. Lex could care less all he wanted was the witness against him dead. Lex was moved by Superman personally to this new federal site. Lex's legal staff threatened all sorts of legal action until they were told where he was being held. The government would allow only one of Lex's army of lawyers in to see him in supermax.
Lex was chained to a desk he was pissed his hit team couldn't kill one reporter Clark Kent his one time friend was now his sworn enemy. "Ugh, get me out of here". "The judge turned down your bail request Mr. Luthor". "The judge said you represent a threat to humankind like no other, he said you were worse than Hitler". Lex smiled "really, Hitler was the best he could do, he could have at least got my name sake Alexander the Great". Lex sat quietly for a moment I have a Judge to add to my must kill list but after this is all over and done. Lex turned his attention to his lawyer, "Ok I'm going to say this once and only once I want Clark Kent dead, do whatever it takes". The head lawyer nodded his head, "yes sir". The guard appeared at the door "times up". As he was led out of supermax he saw all sorts of killers, the worst of the worst said one of the guards. They walked in pairs, the rule was shoot first and shot again, then ask questions. The Attorney questioned why he worked for this madman, oh yea if he didn't do as instructed he and his family were going to be dead, Lex Luthor was a bad man he hoped he was put behind bars and all his resources were stripped from him or he was dead. Then and only then might the nightmare end and his family have a degree of safety.
Alicia and John were dragged into the sun coast upper class kicking and screaming. Neither wanted to have anything to do with these self important people but they had an appearance to keep up so off to their first social engagement. They were smart enough to take the Blackwater team, at least four of them; good thing too they had to grab and delete photos from a lot of phones. They missed one self important party goer, moments later a facebook message showed up exclusive pictures of Siesta Key's newest additions; the Jones from New York boring new money. The social climber was Lois Lane reporter for the local rag. Daddy got out of the service and bought her a newspaper but demoted her to head reporter. Lois was good at getting the story not running a paper. The amazing thing is she didn't recognize her old partner.
Clark was sweating bullets until he figured Lois didn't know him at all. The blackwater guys missed Lois getting a shot of the Jones's so it went without notice. Alicia and John made nice with everyone keeping everything light. They didn't allow anyone to pin them down with future commitments.
Lana was getting very taken with her charge he looked more than just good. By her third drink he was looking awesome just what she wanted and needed. Clark noticed Lana getting closer to him and her touch was making him crazy it was bad enough they were sleeping in the same bed and he wasn't taking her in his arms. This was going to be pushing that restraint. She smelled, looked, and was sexy as hell. Tonight was going to be hard in a whole lot of ways.
They left the party around 10 pm John drove the GT home Lana had slowed her drinking and regained some of her composure but she was still touching him in the most tantalizing ways. Once they were safely inside the bedroom Clark hit the bathroom first quickly doing his routine and headed to bed. Lana smiled to him warmly as she left to do the same. Clark laid with his face to the door to see her come out she had taken to sleeping on his chest at night. Clark was hoping for more for over a week now. Clarks eyes just about popped out of his head Lana opened the door here she was wearing one of his tee shirts, he thought she could wear a burlap bag and still look stunning not to mention sexy. "What's the matter John see something you don't like"? "No, uhm it's more like something I see that I like way too much". Alicia smiled "I bet you've used that line on a bunch of girls". "Honestly I've never used a pickup line in high school I went to prom with my best friend Chloe she wanted a relationship but it didn't feel right, the one kiss we had felt like I was kissing a cousin or my mom". "No way you didn't date in high school? Nor much in coledge either they were nice people but they never felt right if you know what I mean". "Your the first women" and Clark fell silent. I'm the first woman what Clark way to leave someone hanging big guy" as she approached the bed. Well i, I have feeling for you Alicia real feelings and it's not that your protecting me either". "There is something about you I'm very attracted to you". "How attracted" smiled Lana. "Very attracted I think I'm falling in love with you I have never had these kind of feelings". "My Mom used to tell me I would know when I met the right lady and Lana your the person for me, unless you feel differently about me". Lana didn't say anything for a moment or two. Clark got out of bed and started for the next bedroom over he started to say I'm sorry you don't feel that and Lana ran to him kissing him. I feel the same way I was afraid to say anything I didn't know how you would react or if you would reject me and my feelings". They were entwined in each other's arms the passion and temperature was going up for both of them. They broke the neverending kiss, "Well I think its time Mr. and Mrs. Jones got to bed and got busy don't you"? Clark carried Lana over to the bed "turn on that jamming thing I want to call you by your real name when we make each other scream". Clark peeled the blankets back with one hand making a open invitation to her to join him in bed. Clarks smile could light the whole room, Lana stood on her own two feet and flew on top of Clark, the jammer lay forgotten on the floor. Shortly the little clothing they had on was gone then only sounds were "oh yea right there and harder". They made love for two hours straight, both had been satisfied several times and they kept going until they were worn out.
They awoke at 7 the next morning and continued their daily routine out for a run and then breakfast and some pool time. Today was the first time they took out the boat neither had any nautical experience of note, so a local captain was hired to give them a shakedown and give them the basics of boating operation and safety. John did the learning and Alicia did the tanning; by three they were back dockside, John drove them home to their pier. Alicia had two bags with her at all times one had whatever she needed and the other was their go bag in case it all fell apart, they had what they would need to continue on the road to safety but this time they would be on their own.
Clark asked Lana after they decided on having diner on the boat and the staff ran off to get the meal ready. Once everyone was out of earshot Clark asked about the other bag, Lana took him down below "look the other bag is our go bag in case they find us and we make it out we can still keep going and survive until we can find safety". "Did you know your old partner was working down here"? "Yes I saw her at the party but your disguise seemed to work she didn't recognize me at all". "That's good then I was worried about that for a while", Lana relaxed into his arms which he wrapped around her in a second. "The second I heard her name I started to listen to her and I didn't hear anything about you other than what a hunk and she wished you weren't married" smiled Lana.
I wasn't aware of her saying that when did you hear that? Uhm, Uhm I …. how could she tell him the necklace she wore for years as a child and teen gave her a present, she could read others minds. "Clark did you ever hear about the meteor showers that hit a place called Smallville Kansas"? "Yes actually why"? "I was three when they hit, I lost my parents and my aunt adopted me". "The only memory I have of of Smallville is a nice couple who adopted a boy about my age who were our neighbors and a yellow farmhouse". "My aunt sold all the land and soon after we moved to New York to start over but I got a present before I left it was a meteor rock necklace". "I wore it for years until I became a Marshal actually it gave me a present, something unusual, I can read minds". "My ability has helped me keep my charges alive. I can scan a whole room in seconds and pick up on anyone who means to do evil". "I grew up in Smallville Lana it's my hometown, that yellow farm house was my parents". "I know all about Meteor powered people if you read the old newspapers you'll find my name in the paper almost every week it felt like". "I was always, it seemed to be saving my friends from someone else who went off the deep end using their powers". "I'm glad that you are using yours for good". "Thanks Clark, are you a meteor infected person"? "Why do you ask"? "Well I can't seem to read you ever, it's kinda nice I think that's one of the many reasons I like being so close to you all the time".
Clark took a deep breath well at least I won't be found out I hope. "That's cool Lana I'm happy to know someone who can use their powers for good for a change". Clark felt compelled to tell Lana his secret but he held back it just wasn't time yet to share that little fact. They went to bed shortly Lana feeling much closer to her charge than she had ever felt with any man before as she settled into his chest she thought I could get used to doing this for the rest of my life.
