A/N: Due to a great response from my reviewers, I am adding another
chapter. By the way, I started a new story, "On and On (About You)". Be
sure to check that one out and tell me what you think, ok?
Thanks again to Azianchick, Teenage Pinoy, Raiden, bright8, Midnight Driad
who always leave me great reviews.
And thank you to my new reviewer, Alex DaBoss: Woo-hoo! According to you,
I've got the best Smallville fanfic! That was SO my goal! (Hehe . . .
thanks for your review.)
ON WITH THE STORY!!!
Chloe was instantly on the computer. "This explains so many things. Clark always disappearing, him rescuing everyone at JUST the right time."
Lana was more cautious than Chloe. "How do you know I even wrote this? Just because one little paper says Clark's some kind of SUPERMAN doesn't mean we should automatically hop to it."
She set the slip of paper on her dresser. "Someone could have slipped this into my pocket. What if we confront Clark and none of it's true?"
But she was talking to herself. Chloe was already lost in her computer, her hands flying over the keys. She was also mumbling to herself. "All these articles from the Torch, the mysterious rescue attempts, they all came from Clark."
Lana was still not 100% positive about this letter. She decided to give in to the weariness of her mind as her head hit the pillow. She was sound asleep a minute later.
***********
Lex woke up in jail. He felt like his mind had been in a stupor, and he had just reemerged from the daze.
Lex walked up to the cell bars and spoke to the officer in charge.
"Officer, why am I in here?"
The officer also looked confused. "To tell you the truth, Mr. Luthor, I have no idea. Maybe if I look at the police report . . ." He shuffled around the papers but didn't seem to find anything. "There is no proof at all that says why you are in here."
Lex started to get angry. His head hurt, his hand definitely hurt, and he didn't like being closed in like this. "Well, then, how about I call my lawyer. I'm sure he'll be glad to come down here and bail me out."
The officer started looking nervous. "No, Mr. Luthor, that won't be necessary. No paperwork means you are free to go." He walked over and unlocked the cell.
Lex hurried out, and said, "I need to use your phone and call James to come get me." When the officer didn't snap automatically to attention, Lex grew impatient. "Now!'
"Yes, sir." The officer handed him the phone. "Just dial 9, then the number of the person you are trying to reach."
Lex picked up the receiver, and sent the officer a pointed look. "A little privacy, please?"
The officer wordlessly stepped outside.
Lex had to admit, being Lex Luthor had definite advantages.
***********
Clark dreamt only good dreams that night. His friends were all together, and they still knew about his secret. Lex was smiling and congratulating him and Lana for their engagement. He looked down, and saw Lana beaming on his arm. He laid a protective arm around her shoulder. She was all his.
Chloe was smiling, too and she laid a companionable arm around Lex's shoulder. Everyone seemed so content.
Clark snuggled deep into the covers, not knowing another storm was brewing, one that no doubt would put him and the people he loved into danger.
A/N: I admit, it was a short and less eventful chapter, but I wanted everyone to get back to some sense of normalcy after that whopper of a day they had. Remember, 7 reviews and I post another chapter!
