A.N. Here it is peeps!! The moment you've been waitin' 4! CLANA!!!!! ( don't worry david j. duncan, there will be more then a peck on the cheek ;o)! )
Clark effortlessly opened the window and helped Lana out. Then he climbed out himself. They raced out to the front part of the building.
" Lana, go to out to the edge of the road. The police should be waiting there. Tell them to go on down this way. Quick." Clark said. Lana looked a little confused. " What about you Clark?"
" I'll catch up. Just go." Lana nodded and went off down the road. Clark turned around just in time to see one of Strike's buddies getting ready to swing a metal pipe at him. He swung, but obviously Clark didn't feel a thing. The metal pipe, however, was dented and the gang member stared at Clark with a confused look. Clark took this opportunity (i think that's how it's spelled) to throw him ten feet in the air. He landed with a thud, not moving an inch.
Their were to other guys who had original plans to back up their buddy but after what they had seen, they both made a run for it. They only got a few feet before the police pulled up. A few police officers escorted the DMX gang members into the police cars.
Clark sighed as he watched them being forced into the backseat, Strike barely consious. ' Another day in Smallville' Clark thought to himself. He super sped away before the police could see him.

Lex and Lionel got their files back and Jonathan Kent made sure no one could find the meteor rocks. The world seemed to be right again.
Clark walked Lana home that night. It didn't take them to long to reach Lana's house. Clark wished it could've been longer. Lana turned around facing him when they reached the walk up to the house.
" You sure you're okay. I mean, they didn't do anything to you -"
" Clark, I'm fine. Really." Lana smiled. " Thanks once again, Clark, for saving me."
Clark smiled back at her. He couldn't help but smile.
Then it began to rain. First only a few drops here and there and then it got faster and harder. Clark was the first to break the silence. " Well, you better get inside. It's raining pretty hard."
" How did you find that place anyway?" Lana said walking towards the porch slowly but then stopping to here Clark's answer.
" I just kept searching for clues to find it. It wasn't that hard with Chloe and Pete helping." he replied following her. He wasn't really sure why.
" I'm flattered that you'd spend that much time looking for me." Lana said looking straight into Clark's eyes. Clark looked into her's. They were like pools of water. Calm and soft. And mysterious. And beautiful.
" Why shouldn't I?" Clark asked. He could feel Lana's delicate hand touching his. He held it. Then it hit him. This was his chance. If he didn't try this time, he may not get another one. He slowly edge towards Lana and was surprised to see that she was doing the same to him.
There lips touched and Clark felt like sparks were exploding inside of him. The rain beat down on his back and Lana's. It made him tingle a little. He placed his free hand on Lana's waist. It was amazing.
Suddenly he felt light-headed. His legs felt loose. he couldn't feel the ground under his feet. He and Lana were hovering over the grass. Floating, defying gravity. Lana noticed this and broke away, but gently.
Clark was inches away from her. They were both being lowered back down slowly. Clark felt diffrent. He realized that that must've been him. One of his abilities! He couldn't believe it. Floating! What would Lana think?
" Clark, w - what was that?" Lana asked bewildered.
" Believe me, Lana, I'm just as surprised as you." he said looking at her confused face. Her hair was soaked and he realized his was also. His shirt and everything was cold and wet. Lana looked even more beautiful. She smiled a little and gave him a short, but meaningful kiss. " I gotta go, Clark."
She broke out of his embrace and walked up the stairs. Clark spoke up, " Wait."
She turned around. Her eyes made Clark smile. Lana smiled back at him. " I'll see you tomorrow."
" Yeah, Clark. Goodnight."
" Goodnight," Lana went inside and shut the door. " Lana."
Clark looked up at the dark, cloudy sky. How ironic that on one of the most beautiful days of his life, it was raining? He sighed shuving his hands in his pockets and started on his walk home.
