"Ready?" Clark asked.
"Oh, yeah." Lana said, turning back to Clark.
She knew deep down that he wouldn't hurt anyone on purpose, but the things that made her nervous were the things that happened by accident.
Clark turned to the wall and focused his eyes.
He willed his vision to change, to grow stronger so he could see through the wall, but it wouldn't do it.
Finally, without realizing it, it kicked in, and he was seeing through half of the school.
"Tom just shot the janitor with a dart gun." Clark said.
"Clark, I know you want to help him but he's laying a trap."
"I know, but we can't let him hurt him any more."
Lana turned to Clark, and then back at the door.
"Clark, I have an idea."
"What is it?" He asked curiously.
She carefully brushed her hair back behind her ears and walked over to the computer.
She typed a few sentences, which seemed like forever to Clark, and then a map of Smallville High appeared on the screen.
"We should go here, to the Janitor's office, he has a separate phone system, hopefully Tom wouldn't have deactivated it."
"Its worth a try, we could get some help."
"Good, its settled, I'll go and get our janitor, and you go to the Janitor's office." Lana said, getting up.
"Lana, you know that I won't let you go and get him, Tom could hurt you, or worse."
"Yes, but I'm immune to that green rock, what did you call it?"
"Kryptonite, I named it after the words I saw on the Spaceship, my parents couldn't see it but it spelled krypton, and I understood it."
"So you took meteorite and named it after where it came from?"
"Yes, Lana, listen, I know that you're scared, but you'll be safer away from me."
"Clark, you're faster, by the time I get to the janitor you'll probably be on your way back with your fast speed, let me go and distract him at least."
"I don't like this." Clark said.
Clark sighed. He knew that Lana was right, but was it good to put her in danger.
And worse, was it his decision to make.
Clark had often had a conflict with himself over whether or not people knew what they were doing when things got heavy.
His english teacher had called it internal conflict, but did Lana have that going on too?
"Alright, but I want you to take something to protect yourself."
"Don't worry about that." Lana said, slightly smiling.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you know I go to Metropolis a lot, and a girl has to have self-defense classes."
Clark smiled, he didn't know that Lana had classes like that.
"Plus, it doesn't hurt to carry around a knife in your shoe."
Clark, nervously, quickly sped out of the computer lab.
Lana followed, but when she exited the room, she took a quick left, following Clark's directions.
She had a small supply of cord in her coat pocket.
Clark didn't know about Lana as well as he thought.
All those trips to metropolis weren't just for her parent's business; she was taking a self-defense class.
This class was special though, she knew a lot of the kids and they weren't exactly the kind of kids that her parents would let her socialize with.
She learned a lot of tricks from them, surprisingly, instead of getting attacked or cursed at.
Lana slowed as she approached the corner.
The large circular area was the center of the entire school, easy access from the different hallways and the science office.
She smiled carefully as she crept near the corner and looked for the man.
The janitor was lying on the floor, unconscious.
She didn't see Tom anywhere, but he was sure to be hiding.
"Probably watching me right now." She muttered under her breath.
She walked carefully ahead and moved quickly to the man.
She looked for any signs of the beautiful green rock that resembled Jade, but she couldn't find any.
Lana knew that it as probably hidden somewhere, it was up to her to get the janitor away before Clark arrived.
"Watch out!" Clark yelled, as a shadow flew over her.
Tom's hand grabbed the back of her neck.
The knife flew up in her hand, and cut Tom's wrist, which he pulled away in terror.
The blood had begun to drop on the floor, as Lana quickly got up and pushed him into the science exhibit of Mars.
"Clark, get out of here." Lana yelled!
Before she knew it, Clark sped quickly past her, and grabbed the janitor.
He sped away at a high speed, and then vanished.
"Going somewhere?" Tom asked.
Lana stopped in her tracks.
The fear was playing games with her mind, maybe if she just ran he wouldn't be able to get her.
Lana spun around and looked into Tom's eyes, pure evil and pure hatred.
The gun was pointing directly at her head.
Suddenly she heard screaming down the hallway.
"I see he found the surprise." Tom laughed.
"What did you do?" Lana demanded.
"I placed an explosive a little bit down that hallway, actually each of them, that particular one was set on a motion sensor and erupted, sending pieces of Kryptonite flying all around."
Clark had a secret, but so did Lana.
She swore that she wouldn't let anyone know what she could do, the meteorite had a strange affect on her too.
Actually, it was the reason that she was such a good cheerleader, at least to her.
The adrenaline spread through her veins as Tom squeezed the trigger.
Her head quickly moved, dodging the dart.
Lana quickly threw the knife, and distracted Tom, as she used the cord in her pocket to strike Tom.
The mix of chemicals erupted, setting him on fire.
"Don't you just love science?" She asked.
Lana quickly ran down the hallway.
The secret couldn't get in the way of her life, not like Clark's.
She wouldn't let it, not like Clark's had taken over his life, besides, she wasn't even sure that it would stay. It seemed like when she started to grow past 12 that it vanished, then it returned.
When Lana approached Clark, he smiled weakly, trying to ignore the pain.
Kryptonite was all over the hallway, it was even sticking in Clark's shirt.
"Hang on, I'm going to get this all out of here!" She said.
She quickly went around and picked up every piece that she saw.
It took her fifteen minutes, but she was sure that Tom wouldn't want to engage them so quickly.
Finally Lana gave up, and quickly lifted Clark up, carefully.
He had to use most of his strength, and even still they were walking slowly because Clark couldn't walk, and was leaning on her.
He felt like a car on her shoulder, but Lana was determined to help him.
Suddenly he fell again, this time his scream pierced through Lana's mind.
For the first time she broke down and started crying in front of him.
"We're going to get out of this." Lana said, picking the piece that fell out of Clark's shirt pocket and throwing it down the hall, through her History Teacher's classroom window.
Clark's mind was hurting, it seemed like every second he took a breath the pain grew harder and longer, and wouldn't go away.
Lana kneeled down beside him.
"Can you tell me where it is?"
He shook his head telling her no, "I'm too weak, I can't tell anymore, I just want to sleep."
"Clark, you have to stay awake, you are going to help me, use your power and tell me where it is!"
Clark concentrated hard, and looked closely at himself.
His vision blared back and forth between normal vision, and X-ray vision.
He barely saw the large chunk, about the size of Lana's necklace, stuck in his jacket pocket.
"My pocket." Clark said, fighting everything he could just to say a few words.
Lana quickly reached into his left coat pocket but found nothing.
She moved her body to reach into the other pocket, and found another large chunk and threw it.
"Maybe the Kryptonite kept recharging my power." Lana wondered, smiling.
"I got it."
She looked at Clark, and saw that he was unconscious, but still alive, and still breathing.
"...Clark?"
(Ok, I know the thing with Lana having that power thing is strange, but I figured since only 2 people knew about Clark's powers before, why couldn't someone like Lana have a power from meteor shower that made Lex bald, and no one know? Don't worry though, this part is going to have a big affect on the ending! But you'll have to keep reading to figure out what happens!)
