They walked quietly holding hands. His hand was holding hers so tight. It
was like he was trying to keep her from running away. They came to the
cellar that had been distroyed when the ship was distroyed and walked down
the steps. Clark stopped Lana.
"I guarantee you what I will tell you will freak you out. You have to promise to not get mad or stop talking to me. Only my parents and Pete knows this"
Lana looked into his teary blue eyes and sighed "Clark, I promise I won't get mad. Now what is all this about?"
"I'm not from around here," He said suddenly
"Where are you from?" She asked
"There was a ship here, I distroyed it"
Lana tried to put two and two together "What?" she joked "Are you an alien or something. Clark, this isn't Roswell"
Clark stopped in his tracks and took a deep breath "My real name is Kal-El and I am from a planet called Krytonite"
Lana's eyes widened "So.. So you are an alien? Clark that doesn't make sense!"
"I know it doesn't! Do you remember when I took that trip to New York?"
Lana nodded "Yes"
"Well, I visited a scientist, his name was Dr. Swann. He told me about my past. There was a planet called Kryton, It was distroyed and that is the planet I am from"
Lana couldn't believe her ears! Was he joking with her! How could Clark be an alien?
Did aliens even exist? Was Clark going crazy? No, he wouldn't. They listened intensely to what he had to say.
"Look at this"
Clark took off his white shirt revealing the mark that Jor-El had given him. Lana gasped in horror and ran over to him.
"How did you get that?" She asked
She touched it and he winced in pain, she took her finger away and apologized.
"My father did this to me" he said
Lana looked at him in shock "Why would Mr. Kent do this to you?"
Clark shook his head "My real father... not my earth one"
"The one from.. um, Kryton?" Lana asked
Clark nodded "I know how crazy this sounds, but you have to believe me, it's all true"
She smiled and ran her hand across his cheek "I believe you, Clark, this is Smallville, weirder stuff has happened"
He smiled "Do you remember Cyrus?"
Lana nodded "Yeah"
"How he thought he was from a different planet and all? Well, he got his past mixed up with mine"
"So, um" she asked remaining as calm as she could even though her heart was almost beating through her chest "How did you, um, come to earth?"
He braced himself; this was going to hurt her when she found out "The meteor shower, I came in a ship"
"The one that killed my parents?" she asked
He sighed "Yes" he said quietly
Lana felt hurt remembering her parents.
"I'm so sorry I killed them," he said
"Hey, you know it wasn't your fault. You were just a baby, right?"
"I was about 3"
"A 3-year-old can't be blamed for a death"
He smiled "You're taking this news suprisingly well"
"Yeah well, I'm trying my best to remain calm. It isn't everyday you find out your boyfriend is from another planet"
He smiled at her "Do you remember that necklace you use to have? The green meteor one?"
"Yes"
"It's a meteor rock called Kryptonite.. It's from Krypton and it's one of the reasons that most of the weird stuff happens around here. Did you ever notice how I couldn't be around you when you wore it?"
"No, why can't you be near the rock?"
He shrugged "I don't know, It makes me sick and could kill me if I was around it for too long"
Lana nodded "I see"
"There was a ship down here. But I kept hearing voices from my real father, the one who put this mark on me.. He kept telling me to leave Smallville, fulfill my destiny or something" he said almost robotically "He told me if I didn't everyone I loved would get hurt"
"So that's why you kept saying you'd hurt me if you stayed"
"Yes. And I'm afraid I still might. I distroyed the ship, with the green meteor rock. The whole ship just exploded and there was this surge of power throughout the town from it... My parents were driving home from the wedding and the power hit the car" He spoke quietly now filled with pain "The car toppled over.. And mom lost the baby"
"Oh, Clark" Lana said, putting her hand on his chest
"I told you it was my fault"
"No, it wasn't. It was sort of a wrong place at the wrong time thing"
"Try telling that to my father. You should have seen my mother.. She was so devastated.. She was crying so much"
"I'm so sorry, Clark" Lana said
"It's my fault, She was looking so forward to having another kid... but.."
He was at a loss for words now and his eyes teared up again.
"I don't think they'll ever forgive me," he said, his voice cracking
"Yes they will," she said supportively
She kissed him and he kissed her, the kiss quickly turned into a hug.
"I can't believe you aren't freaking out" he whispered to her
"This doesn't change the way I feel about you.. or how much I love you" she said while he held her in his arms.
They broke apart from the hug to kiss again.
"It will get better. You have me and I'm not going anywhere" she said after they kissed
They both shared a moment of scilence to smile at each other.
"So, are you like Cyrus? Do you have the power to heal?" she asked him
Clark smiled "I have super speed"
"Super speed? How so?"
Before she could finish the word 'so'. He had ran out and come back with some flowers. Lana's face turned to an expression of pure shock"
Holy sh.. I mean, Wow!" she remarked "Just..uh, Wow"
"Yeah" he smiled coyly "I'm fast" he gave her the flowers "I got these for you"
Her expression changed from shook to giggling. She giggled, putting one in her hair and the other in her shirt pocket "How sweet.. But Clark, that superspeed is amazing! So what else can you do?"
"I can't get hurt or sick unless I'm near the green meteor rocks, and I can set fire with my eyes and in addition to superspeed I also have superstregth"
Lana smiled "So that is how you saved me all those times. Now everything makes sense. How whenever I was in trouble, you'd be there! I've always wondered how you did it.. and.. and now I know"
"Oh, and also I have X-ray vision"
"X-ray vision?" she asked
"I can see through things"
She nodded, astonished "Wow, Clark.. that is really.. Cool"
He smiled "But it has to stay just between us, Pete and my parents no one else"
"Of course"
"Wait.. so if green meteors make you sick, then what about the red ones?"
Clark sighed, suddenly remembering the red meteor rock in his pocket, the one he was going to put on the make leaving easier.
"That rock.. it makes me bad.. Kind of like a drug, like pot or cocaine. Do you remember when I went out with that punk girl Jessie?"
"Yeah.. were you on the red?"
Clark nodded "And when you caught me kissing Chloe that time when she had the parasite.. When I was suppose to go on a date with you?"
Lana nodded, flinching at the memory "Yes"
"Well, everything was so horrible right now.. I was going to leave, and put the class ring with red in it to make it easier. Make me feel better, like a druggie would"
Lana looked him in the eyes "Thank God I stopped you"
Clark smiled "Yeah, I was about to make the worst mistake of my life.. But could you do something for me"
Lana nodded "Anything"
Careful not to get it near him, Clark gave the ring in his pocket to Lana.
"Smash it, distroy it, just get rid of it so I'll never need it again"
Lana nodded "Okay"
He gave her a hammer from his house and she smashed the ring, getting rid of all the krytonite there was. She walked back to Clark smiling.
"It's distroyed," she said smiling
"Thank God"
She wrapped her arms around his neck "You don't need meteor drugs to make you feel better"
He kissed her on the lips.
"I have you for that" he whispered
"I guarantee you what I will tell you will freak you out. You have to promise to not get mad or stop talking to me. Only my parents and Pete knows this"
Lana looked into his teary blue eyes and sighed "Clark, I promise I won't get mad. Now what is all this about?"

Lana nodded "Okay"
He gave her a hammer from his house and she smashed the ring, getting rid of all the krytonite there was. She walked back to Clark smiling.
"It's distroyed," she said smiling

He kissed her on the lips.
