Well here we are again ladies and gentlemen. Part three of my first story.
Thank you all so much for the reviews, it really means a lot to me. I
really wasn't sure if this story would take off but I guess it did. I'm not
sure if this will be the last part or not seeing as it's up to you guys the
fans. If you want it to continue let me know id be more than happy to keep
it going. Well as usual I own nada, zilch, zero, so don't sue cause you
wont get anything I'm po like Kenny.
-Later that evening at Lana's house-
"Oh hi Pete, what can I do for you?"
"Well Lana, Clark asked me to tell you that you need to be dressed nice for tonight."
"What's tonight?"
"I really can't say except you need to be ready by eight o clock tonight."
"Pete what's going on, if this is some prank by you two I'm going to be really pissed."
"No, it's not a game, I promise, you can hold me fully responsible if it's a game."
"Ok, I think I'll do that then. So eight o clock huh."
"Yes, well I gotta go.....oh and Lana have a good night" Pete said as he hurried away smiling. Boy is she in for the surprise of her life tonight. I just hope you know what your doing Clark.
Meanwhile at the Kent farm Clark is busy trying to figure out what to wear for the big night.
"Should I wear the blue flannel shirt, or the red flannel shirt, or maybe the yellow flannel shirt? No I think the blue one will be good for tonight."
"Clark are you almost ready it's getting close to eight."
"Yeah mom I'm almost ready, is the food all done?"
"Yes its all packed and ready to go."
As Clark made his way downstairs he noticed the Luthor limo pulling into Lana's driveway to pick her up.
Lana first noticed the limo while looking out her window towards the Kent farm. This was something she did found herself doing more frequently, just looking out the window towards the Kent farm. More specifically the barn where Clark had his so called "fortress of solitude."
"Well looks like Clark is pulling out all the stops tonight. This must be important for him to have asked Lex for the limo."
Once Lana got halfway down the steps she realized her aunt was talking to someone in the living room. Lana quickly recognized the voice as that of Lex. Hmm I wonder what he is doing here, and where is Clark?"
"Hi Lex, what are you doing here?"
"Clark asked me to give you this note before you went on your way to meet him."
"Oh well thank you."
As Lana read over the note she couldn't believe what she was reading
Lana,
You once told me that to love a person was to love everything about them. Well I'm not sure if what we are feeling is love, but I think it may be on the way there. Before we get there, I have some things to tell you. Its time for everything to be revealed.
See you Soon Clark
Oh my god he's going to tell me what he's been hiding, im finally going to find out what the mystery of Clark Kent is. I can't believe this.
"Lana earth to Lana."
"Huh what.what is it Lex?"
"I asked if you are ready to get going."
"Yes im ready, ill see you later Nell."
"You nervous?"
"Are you serious, I've been waiting for Clark to spill for ever and now he's going to."
"So?"
"I'm petrified Lex."
"Don't be and have a good night, driver take care of her."
As the car pulled off Lana couldn't help but reread the letter over and over again. Could he be waiting to tell me he loves me? Or is it something else I guess ill find out soon enough, I just hope I can handle whatever he tells me.
Meanwhile Clark was also going through similar thoughts as Lana. What if she rejects me? What if she freaks and tells everyone? Ok Clark calm down its going to be alright this is Lana were talking about here everything is going to be fine. Lets see food, check. Drinks check. Nerves of steel, uh nope don't have those yet. Ahh why am I so nervous, hmm lets see your about to tell the girl you've loved for years that not only do you love her but you're an alien from another planet with super powers and you've been secretly saving her life all while playing innocent. Nope nothing to worry about.
Clark was interrupted as the limo slowly pulled up to the spot he had picked out for the picnic. Clark watched as Lana got out of the limo and the sight took his breath away, true she was dressed in khakis and a nice shirt, nothing to really go nuts over but it was her presence. She just lit his heart up every time he saw her. And this time was no exception.
"Hi Lana, thank you for coming."
"No problem Clark, you really didn't have to go through all this trouble just for me."
"Your worth it Lana, besides I wanted this to be as memorable as possible." That naturally being the understatement of the year.
"So Clark I have to ask, are we going to jump around why were here or are we just going to get right into it."
"Want something to drink?"
"Jump it is then. And no thank you Clark."
"Your right Lana, ive been putting this off for way too long, its time I just got on with it. All I ask is that you hold any and all reactions until im done. No matter what you feel like saying or doing, all I ask is that im allowed to finish."
Not sure how to react to this Lana simply answered "Ok Clark ill remain seated and quiet till you finish."
"Alright well then here goes. Lana earlier this year I found out I was adopted. Which yes I know that you already knew that except there's more to it than that. You see I don't know who my real parents are because they aren't from around here. Lana I came here on the day of the meteor shower, and when I say cam I don't mean by car or truck. Lana I was sent here from another planet. For some reason my parents sent me here, why I don't know but they did. Shortly after arriving my parents noticed I wasn't exactly a normal boy. I have some abilities that make me different than other people. For one I am extremely fast. Another is I am for lack of better words invulnerable. I can also see through objects, shoot heat rays from my eyes, and im extremely strong. No one else knows about this except my parents and Pete. And he only found out because he found my ship. Now to clear up a few of you're other questions. Yes I was in the truck with you during the tornado and I did use myself as a shield to protect you. No im not going to hurt you or anyone else. And I didn't tell anyone because if it was made public what I am id be taken away from my parents and I couldn't handle that. So there it is Lana, that's all there really is to know about me. Oh and t here is one more thing.....I am falling in love with you."
Lana was feeling like she had just been hit with a sledgehammer in the stomach. She didn't really know what to say, on the one hand Clark could be making all this up. But as she thought about it everything made sense. All the times he saved her or someone else. And he was willing to share this with her. And wait a minute did he just say he was falling in love with her?
"Clark I really don't know what to say. I mean I think your bringing me out here to tell me something like your failing math and your depressed about it. Instead I find out all of this. I mean how could you keep this from me for so long? You say you love me but you lie to me all this time."
"Lana I couldn't tell anyone."
"You told Pete."
"Lana I told you why I Pete knows. Lana please don't hate me for this, and please oh god please don't reject me for this. I am the same Clark Kent you knew five minutes ago. Only now I can get you home faster than you ever thought possible."
This comment made Lana smile slightly. She had to admit, she wasn't mad at him for not telling her, she was madder that Pete knew first.
"Clark im not mad at you for not telling me. Although I am a little hurt that Pete knew before me."
As soon as Clark heard this he began to form a small grin. Not only because he was happy but also because he had anticipated this.
"You know Lana I was expecting you to say that. And that's why I have kept one thing from everyone. No one knows this. Not Pete, not my parents, no one. But im going to tell you about it right now. But before I do I need to ask you something. Lana do you trust me?"
The question was so simple, but the thought process to get the answer was not. Sure he saved her countless times and was there when ever she needed him. But did she trust him? And then Lana thought of the other thing Clark had told her earlier this evening that he was falling in love with her. And truth be told she was falling in love with him too.
"Yes I trust you Clark."
"Good, I was hoping you would say that. Now you remember when I told you all the things I could do?" Lana only nodded "Well there is one other thing that I have recently discovered I can do." As Clark was saying this he was slowly moving towards Lana until he was right in front of her. Clark then walked around Lana so he was facing her back. The next thing Clark said was whispered into Lana's ear. "Hold on"
-Later that evening at Lana's house-
"Oh hi Pete, what can I do for you?"
"Well Lana, Clark asked me to tell you that you need to be dressed nice for tonight."
"What's tonight?"
