Chapter 11

Return to me

I took Lex to the hospital.

Luckily he survived.

I don't know what I do without his courage.

I was sitting in a chair by his bed. The police were doing all they could to find Hayley. They knew who had her, the question was finding her.

then my cell rang.

Lex woke with a start and with trembling fingers I hit the talk button.

It was Lois.

'I have her,' she said.

'I know that, where are you? I want my baby back!'

'you can't have back,' she said in a mocking fashion. 'not yet anyways.'

I was shaking, 'What do you want?' I asked.

'I want you.' She replied.

'You can't have me.' I told her.

'Oh, I know that. I do on the other hand expect something. If you want her back you'll do it or I'll kill her and that's a promise Clark.'

'What do you want me to do?'

'Tell the world who you really are Clark. Tell them who Superman really is and you can have her back. I'd give you the world just to hear you admit it to everyone else.'

She hung up the phone.

Lex was looking at me for an answer.

'She want's me to expose myself Lex.' I told him.

'you can't!'

'If I don't she'll kill Hayley. I can't let that happen.'

He paused at my commet and finally seemed to reach a decision.

'Look for her first Clark before you give in. Superman doesn't show weakness. You can find her, I know you can. Please don't give up yet.'

I looked at him. His eyes were pleading with my soul not to succome to the bitchs demand. He was right. I could find her. And fuck anyone who gets in my way.

Without I word I stand up and leave the room. On the street I take off as Superman, and push the recall button on my cell.

It's sure as fuck not going to end with Hayley dead. I'll make sure that that bitch gets whats coming to her.
