Hypnotic

*Honduras*

Two scientist in protective suits enter a hut. They are surrounded by dead bodies. The scientist then kneeled down next to the dead bodies and takes blood samples, then a dark figure appears behind one of them. "This is a restricted area, you could catch the disease." The man says to the figure, who turns out to be Fine. Fine then takes of the top of his protective suit off and throws him into a body. The other scientist comes up behind Fine, but is instantly killed by Fine. Fine takes the blood sample and begins to burn the hut, before superspeeding away.

*The Talon.*

Clark and Lana take a seat at a table laughing. "Wow, that was fun." Lana said, wiping off some sweat.

"Yeah, I always like making a fool of myself." Clark smiled sarcastically.

"Oh come on, we weren't that bad." Lana told him as Clark looked back asking if she was serious.

"Huh?" Lana shrugged.

"Fine, we sucked." Lana gave in. "I guess that's why we don't go to clubs." Lana admitted.

"Nope, but we could always work on it. In fact, I would love to practice grinding with you." Clark grinned as Lana giggled.

"Anytime big fella." Lana looked at him seductively and then began again. "You know, Chloe is pulling an all-nighter tonight and I have the room all to myself." Lana said, hinting at Clark, but Clark looked at her sadly.

"Sorry, I can't." Clark told her.

"Why not?" Lana wanted to know.

"I have work to do." Clark said.

"Oh...okay." Lana sighed. Clark then got up, kissed her on the forehead.

"I'll call you tomorrow." Clark told her, before leaving as Lana looked worriedly toward his direction. Once Clark was out of the Talon, he smiled brightly and superspeeded away. Lana then received a call.

"Hello?" Lana said, opening her phone up to her ear.

"Hi Lana, it's Lex, we need to talk." Lex told her.

"Okay, I'll be right over." Lana said, hanging up the phone and walking out.

*Clark's Loft*

Clark smiles brightly as he walks up the loft stairs. He goes over to a desk in the Loft, taking out a small box. He opens it and it shows a ring. "Well, today is the day I ask Lana to marry me." He said to himself. He decided that he wanted to surprised Lana with this, so that's why he didn't tell her he was coming tonight, when he actually was. Now all he had to do was wait a little while until she got back to Metropolis. Then Clark hear a knock at the Kent's door with his superhearing, so he superspeeded into the house. He slowly walked up to the door and opened it. "Can I help you?" He asked cheerfully.

"Are you Clark Kent?" The girl asked.

"Yes and you are?" Clark asked.

"I'm Simone, your new girlfriend." She told him as he looked at her suspeciously.

"Yeah right." Clark began to close the door, when she stepped in front of it. "Listen, I don't want trouble." Clark told her.

"I'm sorry, I just got this nice necklace and I thought I could impress guys. Isn't it nice." She said, holding it and Clark's eyes caught it. He now stood there in a trance. "Let me in Clark." She commanded and he did. "Kiss me." Clark kissed her and they began to make out.

"Smallville, do you have any..." Lois walked in, looking at Clark and Simone in shock.

"Hey Lois." Clark said, breaking up his make out session.

"What are you doing?" Lois asked wide eyed.

"Kissing my new girlfriend. This is Simone." Clark said, holding her by the waist.

"I'm guessing Lana didn't dye her hair blond and change her name? If that's right, how the hell could you cheat on her?" Lois asked bluntly.

"Lana's old news, Simone's my new girl and if you can't handle it, get out." Clark says as Lois looks taken aback and leaves.

*Lex's Mansion.*

Lex is leaning back in his desk chair, when Lana walks in. "What's going on Lex?" She asked, walking toward his desk.

"I need to tell you something." Lex said, getting up as Lana saw his tickets to Honduras.

"Going some where?" She said, motioning toward the tickets.

"Honduras." Lex told her as Lana looked surprisingly at him.

"Why?" Lana questioned him.

"Because there's someone there who I need to speak to. He may have some clues about the spaceship and the secrets behind it." Lex explained to her as Lana had no clue who it could be, but whoever it was, she needed to know.

"Anyone we know?" Lana asked.

"Clark knows him, his name is Milton Fine." Lex informed her as Lana did her best to hide her reaction the name.

"Excuse me?" Lana said, hoping he said the wrong name.

"Milton Fine, he was Clark's professor at Central Kansas." Lex repeated.

"What could he possibly know?" Lana said to Lex.

"Just all the answers I'm looking for. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything when I come back." Lex smiled as Lana looked at him in shock.

'I have to see Clark.' Lana thought to herself.

*Kent House*

Simone, pulls Clark off her for. "That's enough for now Clark. I was wondering can you get us some 1969 wine. I heard that was a great year." Simone says and seconds later, Clark has a bottle of it in his hand.

"Here." He hands it to her.

"How did you do that?" She questioned him.

"Let's just say, I can run pretty fast." Clark grinned.

"How about chocolates from Paris?" Simone said, then Clark superspeeded out and back with chocolate. "Wow, this is going to be interesting." Simone said with a wicked smile.

*Chloe's dorm*

Chloe is packing up her back pack when Lois walks in. "Chloe we need to talk now!" Lois told her as Chloelooked at suspeciously.

"What's wrong?" Chloe asked.

"I saw Clark in a major lip lock with a girl named Simone today, when I went to the Kent's house." Lois said as Chloe shook her head.

"You must have been seeing things, because Clark would never do that to Lana. He's been in love with Lana since forever." Chloe told her.

"Chloe, I know what I saw. They certainly weren't shaking hands." Lois said.

"I don't what to say cous, but I know Clark and what you're saying isn't possible." Chloe returned to packing her things. "I have to go to the library, call me later tonight." Chloe lightly tapped Lois's shoulder, before leaving.

*Clark's Loft*

"What else can you do?" Simone asked Clark. Clark smiled and grabbed a bat. He bent it backward.

"Strength." He said, then took the bat and bashed himself over the head with it. "Invulnerability." Clark then, heat vision a candle. "Heat vision, X-ray vision and you saw speed." Clark finished.

"My own personal superhero, how nice." She said, then paused. "Clark, make love to me." Simone commanded. Then Clark kissed her passionately, taking off her shirt, then his. They kiss to the couch, where they each took off their pants. Simone broke their kiss for a second. "Call your girlfriend and tell her to come her." Simone told him. Clark took out his cell.

"Yeah, Clark, I'm on my way." Lana said, hanging her phone as did Clark.

"She's coming." Clark said to Simone.

"Good." She smiled and they went back to kissing.

*Clark's Loft*

Lana is walking up the loft stairs trying to comprehend how Fine survived, when she turned her up. "Clark I..." She saw Clark and Simone kissing. "Oh my..." Tears started building up in Lana's eyes. "Oh...God." She said, staring at them as tears now fell freely down her cheeks and she turned around, rushing down the stairs.

"Tell her it's over." Simone commanded to Clark as he superspeeded in front of Lana.

"Get out of my face." Lana said, trying to move past her, but he stopped her.

"It's over Lana, I'm in love with Simone now." Clark told her blankly as Lana looked into his eyes, then looked at his hands for red-k and his neck, but nothing.

"You're not on red-k? How could you do this to me?" Lana asked, she eyes bright red.

"Things change, feelings change." Clark told her.

"This is why you didn't want to see me tonight, because of her?" Lana angrily said, then slapped Clark across the face and pushed him out of her way. Once she was outside, she fell to the ground in sadness, not caring that her hand was hurt.

*Lex's mansion, a little later that night*

Simone walks in and there's Lex on a big screen T.V. "Lex?" Simone says.

"I'm here, did everything go as planned?" Lex asked her.

"Yes, she saw him kissing me and now they're broken up." Simone told him as Lex smiled.

"How about part two of our arrangement? Did you notice anything different about Clark Kent?" Lex wanted to know.

"He's a really good kisser, other than that, he's your usually Kansas farm boy." Simone lied and Lex smirked.

"Okay, nice work, now I need you to come to Honduras." Lex informed her.

"No, this was a one shot deal." Simone told him.

"You don't want anyone to find out how you got that little power of yours, do you? I suggest you do what I say or they will know." Lex threatened her.

"Listen, you told me to break them up and I did. You also told me to find the truth on Clark Kent and I will." Simone said emphatically.

"Fine, then continue your work." Lex told her and then the T.V. went black.

*Honduras, the next day*

Lex walks into a hut and see's Fine standing there with his back to him. "Ah Lex, it seems you have found me." Fine said, still with his back toward him.

"Well, it wasn't easy. It was almost like you fell off the face of the planet." Lex said as Fine smiled.

"I have my ways." Fine said.

"Or is it something else?" Lex wonder, as Fine's hand began to turn into a weapon.

"What could it be?" Fine asked.

"Could you be from another planet?" Lex questioned him and Fine was about to kill him, when Lex began again. "I want to work with you." Lex finished as Fine's hand turned to normal and he turned to Lex.

"Work with me?" Fine was surprised a little bit.

"Yes, together we can unlock the secrets of the world. Starting with that ship." Lex told him.

"Then the question becomes, why would I help you? And what would I want?" Fine said as Lex nodded.

"What do you want?" Lex asked.

"I want what you want Lex. I want this world to be free of the men who seek to destroy it. Men, like Clark Kent." Fine told him.

"What does Clark have to do with this?" Lex wanted to know.

"Oh come on Lex, for someone with your intelligence you sure do have a brain blockage when it comes to Clark Kent. He is, what I am, an alien. I know you love the paintings from the wall and have researched them, so I'll put it to you this way. He is Naman." Fine explained as Lex looked at him in shock, shaking his head.

"That can't be." Lex said in disbelief.

"Why are humans so stupid? They can't see what's right in front of their face. Think about it Lex, how did he know about the chamber in the wall? Because it was put there for him. How about him saving the day all the time? Do you think any human can do that?" Fine laughed.

"What do you want with Clark?" Lex cautiously asked.

"To kill him." Fine said coldly.

"Kill him? Clark isn't evil, he wouldn't rule the earth." Lex said, as Fine laughed.

"Do you think anyone with that type of power could resist it? The only reason I haven't killed you and tried myself, is because I'm a computer program designed to protect earth." Fine then paused. "What do you care anyways? You know who you are inside, Lex? You're an evil person, who does what has to, to get what he wants. Is that not who you are?" Fine said, getting in Lex's face.

"Maybe." Lex replied.

"No, there is maybe Lex. This is who you are and if you join me, you can get what you truly want." Fine told him.

"What's that?" Lex asked.

"Lana Lang, off course." Fine smirked.

"How could I get Lana? She loves Clark and would probably sacrifice herself for him.." Lex ranted and Fine just smiled.

"I know, which is why she will go to you to protect him." Fine said as Lex looked confused at him.

"Why should she do that?" Lex questioned him and Fine put his mouth next to Lex's ear.

"She knows his secret." Fine whispered into Lex's ear as Lex stood with eyes looking ahead in disbelief.

*Kent Barn*

Clark is moving some things when Chloe walks in with her arms folded in disgust. "So, you know what I was doing last night?" She asked firmly as Clark kept moving things.

"No." Clark said blankly.

"I was consoling my best friend who just had the love of her life cheat on her. She also said, that there was no red-k to make him do it. So then my question becomes, why!?" Chloe stressed "why" emphatically.

"Because I've fallen in love with Simone." Clark told her straight out.

"Bull, you've loved Lana your whole life and now all of a sudden you love Simone?" Chloe questioned him.

"Things change Chloe." Clark said.

"Apparently they do." Chloe said sarcastically.

"Now stay out of this, you've been a good friend. I don't want to do anything, but if I have to…." He warned.

"Okay." Chloe said plainly and left, but she knew this wasn't the real Clark. So instead of leaving, she went inside the house. She heard the shower running, that must be Simone. Chloe also saw Simone's purse on the counter and digged into it. She took out Simone's license and put in her pocket, before Simone started coming down the stairs.

"Clark?" She said as came into Chloe's view in a towel. "Who are you?" She asked, preparing to hypnotize Chloe with her necklace.

"I'm Clark's friend, you must be Simone. The girl he loves." Chloe says as Simone looked less threatened.

"Yeah, I am." She replied.

"I just wanted to say how happy I am for you and Clark. He deserves someone like you." Chloe said, trying to sound sincere.

"Thank you." Simone said, releasing her necklace.

"Well, I better go. It was nice meeting you." Chloe said, faking a smile, before she left.

*Daily Planet*

Chloe and Lois are on the computer. They type on Simone's name on the computer. "Let's see who she is." Chloe says. They click on her name and find an interesting article.

"Her dad was a famous hypnotics guy?" Lois said.

"I guess so, it seems he was world renowned." Chloe said, reading the article. "It appears he was killed recently by a break in." Chloe explained.

"Tough luck for the guy, I wonder what they wanted." Lois said confused.

"It may not be they, but who and I'll give one guess what they wanted, because the person got it." Chloepointing to the necklace around the man's neck.

"I saw that around Simone's neck." Lois told her.

"And I'm guessing that's what she used to hypnotize Clark." Chloe said as Lois nodded.

"We need to find Clark and fast, before she makes him do something he'll regret." Lois got up from her chair and started to walk away. "You coming?" Lois asked Chloe.

"Yeah, just let me get something." Chloe replied, waiting until Lois was gone to get some a meteor rock from her desk.

*Kent House, a later that night.*

Simone and Clark walk downstairs. "I can't wait to get out of here Clark. We're going to love California." Simone said as Clark smiled and carried down her things. Then Lois came through the door.

"You're not going anywhere." Lois told Simone, stepping in her way.

"And who are you?" Simone questioned Lois.

"A friend and I'm not letting you do this to Clark." Simone reached for her necklace, but Lois put on sun glasses. "I don't think so." Lois smirked.

"Have it your way." Simone smirked back and then turned to Clark. "Clark, knock her out." Simone commanded, Lois laughed sarcastically.

"Yeah right." She said, looking at Simone as Clark tapped her head from behind and knocked her out. Martha came rushing in, when she saw Lois on the ground.

"What's going on?" She asked concerned and Simone showed her the necklace.

"Everything is fine Mrs. Kent. Clark and I are leaving, we're going to California. You're happy for us and you're going to stop her from trying to stop us. Do anything you can to stop her." Simone commanded as Martha nodded. "Let's go Clark, we need to make a stop at the Luthor Mansion, before our little trip." Simone said as she and Clark walked out.

*Moments later*

Lois wakes up rubbing her head. "Wow, I feel like I just got hit by a truck." She rubbed her eyes and then looked up to see Martha holding a gun to her face. "Uhh, Mrs. Kent, what are you doing?" She asked hesitantly.

"I'm stopping you from interrupting with my son's life, he's happy. I don't want to hurt you Lois, but I might have to." Martha explained, then Chloe snuck in and hit Mrs. Kent with a broom stick, knocking her out on the floor.

"Oh my God! I hit Mrs. Kent." Chloe said in shock as Lois couldn't believe why Chloe was in shock.

"Yeah, she was going to kill me. Why shouldn't you have?" Lois asked, throwing up her hands.

"Its just, I can't believe I hit Mrs. Kent." Chloe still had a wide-eyed look.

"Well, snap out of it. We have to find Clark and Simone." Lois said.

"After you got knocked out, I heard they were going to Lex's mansion. You need to stay here and watchMrs. Kent." Chloe told her.

"Fine….." Lois pouted and Chloe walked out.

*Lex's mansion*

Lex is sitting at his desk when Clark barges in. "Lex." He says, walking straight up to Lex and throwing him in the wall. "We need to talk." Clark says.

"Clark, you're under Simone's spell, you don't want to do this." Lex tries to reason with him, but he throws him into his desk.

"I think I do want to do this." Clark lifted up Lex by the throat. Simone walked in behind Clark.

"He does, Lex." Simone smiled.

"Clark….." Lex was barely able to say.

"Goodbye Lex." Clark replied, when he suddenly dropped Lex, knocking him out and Clark fell weakened to the floor. He turned on the floor to see Chloe holding a meteor rock, she then tucked it under Clark to keep him there.

"Sorry Clark." She said, then she got up. Lex also started to come to. "I can't let you do this Simone." Chloe told her. Simone turned to Lex and showed him her necklace.

"Kill her Lex." Simone commanded and Lex grabbed Chloe by the throat and started to choke her. "No one can stop me." Simone smirked, then someone tapped her on the shoulder.

"Hey Simone, hypnotize this." Lana hits Simone's necklace when a bat, breaking it and sending her to the ground. "Tramp." Lana said to a fallen Simone and then rushed to Clark. She took the meteor rock and hurled it away.

"Lana?" He asked, still shaken up.

"It's me, I'm here." Lana said, she held his head in her arms. Lex and Chloe broke apart once the necklace broke. Chloe smiled at her friends as Lex looked on jealously.

*Chloe's dorm*

Lana is cleaning herself up as Chloe packs up some things and prepares to leave. "So, Lana how did you know?" Chloe asked curious.

"How did I know what?" Lana repeated.

"That Clark wasn't himself?" Chloe asked again.

"Because I know him Chloe." Lana said with hesitation.

"Yeah, but what tipped you off?" Chloe wanted to know.

"Well, when I slapped Clark in the face, he did something he would never do if I hit him and hurt my hand like I did." Lana explained.

"Which was?" Chloe questioned her.

"Nothing. " Lana said, then paused. "Clark was always been concerned about keeping me from being hurt. Even if he cheated for real on me, he would never just let me walk out after hitting that brick wall of a face." Lana told her.

"True, but how did you know where to find us?" Chloe asked.

"Lois told me, when I went to see Clark." Lana said, putting her hair in a pony tail.

"Oh, cool, thanks for the save." Chloe said.

"Anytime." Lana replied and they shared a hug, before Chloe left.

*Daily Planet*

Chloe walked to her desk to see Clark sitting in her chair. She smiled, "How does it feel to have your free will back?" Chloe put her stuff down as Clark turned to her.

"Really good." Clark replied.

"Lana said she's heading over to the barn. Did you talk to her before about everything?" Chloe questioned him.

"No, I needed time to think. Make sure that I'm about to make the right decision." Clark had a serious look on his face.

"Clark, I don't like the look. I know that look, don't tell me you're going to do something stupid." Chloe said, concerned.

"Chloe, you didn't have to see the look in her eyes when I was kissing Simone. Sometimes I think my greatest power is to hurt Lana." Clark became a little teary eyed.

"Clark, it wasn't you fault." Chloe said for what seemed like the millionth.

"I know, but I hope I can spend the rest of my life making it up to her." Clark suddenly smiled widely as Chloe looked surprised. "I'm going to ask her to marry me." Clark said as Chloe put both her hands over her mouth.

"OH MY GOD." She shouted and hugged Clark tightly.

"Now that was the reaction I was hoping for. I hope I can get the same from Lana." Clark laughed. Chloe then released him and smacked him playfully.

"Clark Kent! You had me scared for a second there with that guilty look." Chloe told him.

"Sorry." Clark apologized.

"I'm so happy for you two. Promise you'll call me right after Lana accepts." Chloe asked.

"Don't jinx me Chloe." Clark said, getting up and walking toward the door, before turning around. "Wish me luck and I will call you." Clark winked.

"You don't need luck." Chloe whispered.

*Clark's Loft, later in the day*

Clark stood next to his window, looking out into the stars. Something felt different to him, for the first time in his life, he felt like everything was going to be okay. That whatever happened, he and Lana would get through it together. He also believed more than ever in their love and that they were going to spend the rest of their lives together. He then heard her footsteps coming up the stairs. "After seeing what I did the last time I walked up these stairs, these stairs seem a little steeper." Lana said as Clark gave a small smile.

"Are you okay?" Clark asked.

"Always thinking about me aren't you? You're the one who was hypnotized and made to do things you didn't want to. I should be asking you if you're okay, although my hand isn't feeling too good." Lana looked at her bruised hand.

"I'm fine Lana, nothing I can't take. As for your hand, let me help make it better." Clark said, taking her hand and kissing it a couple times. Lana smiled warmly at him.

"All better." She replied, looking lovingly into his eyes.

"There's something I need to ask you Lana, but first I need to tell you something." Clark looked serious into her eyes.

"What is it?" Lana asked looking kind of worried.

"I didn't tell you everything that happened the day of my dad's election. I told you some of it, but I left out some pretty important things." Clark said.

"Like what?" Lana questioned him.

"Like me asking you an important question…" Clark said trailing off.

"Which was?" Lana motioned Clark to tell her with her hands waving in the air.

"Well…." Clark paused. "I asked you to marry me." Clark finished as Lana looked at him in disbelief.

"Huh?" Lana said, not thinking she heard him right.

"I asked you to marry me, in the Fortress." Clark repeated.

"What did I say?" She needed to know.

"At first, you said you had to think about it and then you accepted later in the day." Clark explained.

"I said yes?" Lana had to make sure.

"You did." Clark replied and Lana jumped for joy in her head.

"Then why didn't you just ask me again?" Lana wanted to know.

"Because I think that's the reason why you died." Clark told her. Lana didn't understand.

"How could that cause me to die?" Lana asked.

"Because that night you went to see Lex and I'm guessing he saw your ring. Lex knows us as well as anyone and he knew, that for you to marry me, that you would have to know my secret. So he questioned you on it, he was drunk. Then when you left the mansion and were on the highway, he came after you. You were distracted for a moment and then the bus hit you." Clark said, the pain filling up in his eyes from that night.

"Oh Clark, I can't believe it." Lana put her hand over her mouth.

"I was so close to killing Lex, Lana. If my dad didn't come there in time, I would have killed him." Clark said as the anger boiled up inside of him.

"But you didn't, you're not a killer. I'm sorry I ever got involved with Lex, I guess I just wanted to believe the good in him was there." Lana said as Clark cupped her cheeks.

"It's okay, that's the kind of person you are. I love you for seeing the good in people and you didn't know what happened." Clark told him and they embraced.

"I just wish that day never happened." Lana told him.

"Me too, but it happened for a reason and we can learn from it." Clark said, stroking her hair gently.

"Yep, I'm never going near Lex again." Lana said.

"That's reassuring, but I don't want him to know, that you know my secret. So, don't bust in there and cut his head off, let him down easy. " Clark said.

"As easy as can, knowing what he did." Lana said angrily. "So, what do you want to do?" Lana asked, hoping he would ask her a certain question.

"Well, I was thinking we could…." Clark began, but Lana cut him off and folded her arms.

"Are you going to ask me to marry you or what?." Lana asked as Clark smiled widely. Then Clark got on his knees, taking her hand in his.

"Lana Lang, for as long as I can remember, you've been the only girl I've ever loved. If you let me, I'd like to make you the only girl I love for the rest of my life. Will you marry me?" Clark asked, looking lovingly into her eyes.

"I thought you'd never ask." Lana said, tears welling up in her eyes. "Off course I'll marry you, I never imagined marry anyone else." Lana told him as they both smiled bright. Clark then stood up and they kissed passionately as the sun settled.. They then broke the kiss, looking lovingly into each other eyes, hoping for this moment to never end, when Lana turned away abruptly.

"What is it?" Clark asked concerned.

"There's important I need you to know." Lana said, taking his hands.

"You can tell me anything, nothing could ruin this day." Clark smiled at her with reassurance as Lana took a deep breath.

"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that." Lana told him.

"Okay, well, why don't you tell me and then we can decide if it does." Clark said, some what jokingly.

"He's back." Lana whispered as Clark tried to grasp who the "he" was. Lana nodded her eyes widely as Clark was beginning to get it.

"Tell me it isn't him." Clark pleaded.

"Lex tracked him down in Honduras." Lana said.

"This isn't good." Clark ran his hands through his hair.

"What are we going to do?" Lana asked.

"I don't know, but I'm going to look for him. My guess is if he's there, he won't be there for long and he's on his way here. Tell Chloe about him being back, I want the both of you to keep your cell phones on and close at all times. If you see anything that looks at all out of place, call me." Clark instructed her.

"I will." Lana looked saddened, glancing away slightly. Clark lightly took her chin.

"Everything is going to be okay. We're going to be husband and wife, I'm not going to let anything happen to you or anyone else. You've given me so much strength, that I know I can beat him. I love you." Clark said, looking in her the eyes with so much courage, much more than she had ever seen from him.

"I love you too and I know we can get through anything." Lana replied and they share a small, but emotion filled kiss.

*Lana's SUV*

Lana is deep in thought as she drives out of the Kent driveway. So much to think about, how could Lex have done what he did? How did Milton Fine survive? But out of all that horrible news, came the best moment of her life, when Clark purposed to her. For the first time in her life, she really thought everything was going to be okay. Then her cell rang, it was Lex, she reluctantly picked up. "Hello Lex." She said, with no emotion.

"Lana, I need to see you at the mansion now, it's really important." Lex told her.

"Fine, I'll be right over." Lana sighed and shut her phone. At least now she would have a chance to finally break ties with Lex.

"Lex's mansion*

Lex pours some scotch into a glass and drinks it. He takes another deep breath as Lana comes in. "Hello Lana." He says, still faced to the window.

"Hi Lex." Lana says dryly.

"There's something we need to talk about." Lex said, turning to her and coming toward her.

"What is that?" Lana asked. Then Lex kissed her and she pushed him off immediately, slapping him hard across the face. "What are you doing Lex!" She angrily glared at him.

"Expressing my feelings for you." Lex replied.

"You have no right to kiss me like that." Lana told him.

"Lana, I love you. I know you have feelings for me to." Lex said.

"No, I don't. I love Clark, he's the only one I ever loved or will love." Lana said,, staring a hole through him.

"After everything I've done for you? After all the times I was there for you when Clark ran off or kept secrets? How could you not have feelings for me?" Lex wanted to know.

"It's simple, because you're a bad man. You will sacrifice anything to get what you want. You tested Clark earlier this summer by sending men after me and the Kents. You held Victor against his will and hurt him. Let me not forget the time you tried trick me into believing you wanted to help me during the second meteor shower, when all you wanted was the stones. I know who you are Lex, the only reason I couldn't believe it, was because I wanted to help you and be your friend. I can't even be your friend now." Lana ranted as Lex's eyes went blank and the darkness started to overcome him.

"You think I'm a bad person?" He asked.

"Yes, I do." Lana replied.

"Then you haven't seen anything yet." Lex said as his eyes filled with darkness.

"What is that suppose to mean?" Lana asked.

"You're going to love me and be with me, whether you want to or not." Lex grabbed her shoulders.

"Get off me!" She shouted and kicked Lex in the shin. She began to run out.

"If you leave, I'll tell the world his secret." Lana stopped and turned to him.

"What secret?" Lana played dumb.

"Don't play stupid with me Lana, I know Clark's secret and I know you know it too." Lex explained.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Lana told him.

"I think you do." Lex paused and walk up to her. "I know about his speed, his strength, all of his abilities and Lana." He paused and again. "I know his weakness." Lex whispered.

"You don't know anything and you can't prove anything." Lana told him.

"Can't I?" Lex went over to his vault, opened it and took our a meteor rock. "I bet, if I call Clark here and put this up to his chest, he'll fall to the ground in pain." Lana shook her head.

"Clark is the same as everyone else." Lana said.

"So, you want to continue to play dumb? Alright, let's just call Clark over here and see what happens. Then when he's weakened, we can call some people over here and take him away. He can live the rest of his life in a cage." Lex smirked as Lana eyes filled with hate and fear.

"No, please, don't." Lana begged.

"Okay, we're finally get some where." Lex said.

"What do you want?" Lana asked.

"Just you." Lex told her, Lana looked down sadly. "This is a big decision for you, so why don't I give you some time. You can let Clark down easy and I suggest you tell no one about this. Because if you do, the world will know his secret." Lex walked by Lana as she closed her eyes and tears fell freely down them.
