A/N: So Clark got a little pep talk from Lex and is ready to seek out
Lana. Of course, Lana has been brushed off by Clark for the past two days.
Somehow I don't think she's going to be as happy to see Clark.
~Chapter 3~
Lana was closing up the Talon when Clark walked in. Her heart skipped a beat as he walked purposefully toward her. She didn't stop to think about what that meant, because she was angry. "Clark, I must say that I'm surprised to see you here, especially since you've been ignoring me these past two days." She went back to wiping down tables, turning her back on him.
"Lana, I'm sorry," Clark tried to move around her so that he could see her face, but every time he moved Lana moved as well, turning her back on him again. "Lana, could you stop for a minute and look at me."
"That's it," Lana said throwing the cloth on the table she was cleaning. She turned around and glared at Clark. He had some nerve coming in here like this. He honestly thought he could waltz in here say they needed to talk and she'd just drop everything for him. "You've really got some nerve Clark. Two days you've ignored me, TWO DAYS! Now YOU'VE decided that we need to talk and I'm supposed to give you my undivided attention. Well, now is not a good time for me! Please see yourself out!" Lana turned back to wiping down her tables.
"Lana, please listen to me, I'm sorry I've hurt you, but I didn't know what else to do. I was scared."
Lana stopped wiping and turned around to face Clark. She was still angry with him, but she understood what he was saying. She was scared too. Scared of what almost happened, scared of what it could mean, scared of how it had made her feel.
When she tried to think of Whitney, she felt nothing. Actually, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the hug at the bus station was just a good-bye hug between friends, and nothing more. When she thought of Clark and the way his hands caressed her face, her heart fluttered and that's what scared her most. She was falling for a guy who didn't trust her. Who couldn't give her honest answers.
"Clark, I can understand that, but don't you think that what happened scared me too? You're my best friend and I don't want anything to come between our relationship, but don't you feel like something has? Being with you is like having an elephant in the room, we both know it's there, but we can't talk about it."
"Lana, it's not that I don't want to talk to you," Clark said shuffling his feet and putting his hands in his pockets, "it's just that it's complicated."
"Oh, well that's just great," Lana said turning back to her tables, "when I have a problem, it's let's talk it out, but with you it's complicated. Well let me uncomplicated things for you, friends are there for each other no matter what Clark, and what happened the other night leads me to believe that you want to be more than just friends, but you can't have any kind of relationship without trust and face it Clark," Lana turned and looked him in the eye, "you don't trust me." Lana finished wiping down the tables and started heading back into the kitchen to clean the cloths off.
Clark stood there staring after her. This wasn't going as well as he had hoped. He turned around and walked out the door.
Lana came back out of the kitchen more than a little surprised and annoyed that Clark wasn't there. 'Of course when the conversation gets too intense he disappears,' Lana thought to herself as she continued to clean off the counter and coffee machine. Just then the front door opened and Lana looked up thinking that Clark was back for round two. However, as she looked at the gun pointed at her face, she wished that it was just Clark she had to deal with.

A/N: I know you were all wondering how Lana was going to learn about Clark's powers and now you know! I mean it wasn't like Clark could just tell her! But the question is, what will Lana do now that she is going to have the answers to those questions she kept asking?
