A.N. Hey, just wanted 2 say a little something to:

Well, now that's cleared up, I also wanted to say that, if you're wondering, I got this idea from the TV show M*A*S*H (it's a very good show - watch it!). There is an episode where someone in that goes blind and it sounded really cool so that night I started writing this. K - on with the fic ya'll!

Oh yeah, this takes place before Accelerate. And Clark and Lana are STILL not together - yet. lol :o)

@*@*@*@*@

Jonathan and Martha waited patiently in the waiting room of the hospital. It had been almost three hours. No one came to check on them. No one came to notify them. They just sat and wondered worriedly about their son and hoped he would be alright.

They could hear the clicking of the doctors shoes outside the room. They held their breath hoping the doctor would walk into their room and say that Clark had woken up, but they never did. They only rushed past, not even once glancing in their direction.

Martha, being a mother, sat quietly thinking of all the possible reasons they hadn't told them Clark woke up. He was worse off then they thought, they forgot about him, or, probably the worst thought of them all, Clark had made an amazing recovery and his body was incredibly strong. What if that's what is was - they noticed Clark was " diffrent ". Maybe Dr. Bryce was the only checking on him. She hoped that was the case.

Jonathan's thoughts were about the same. He sighed and moved around uncomfortably in seat. Many times he would stand up, pace a while, and then sit back down next to his wife.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Dr. Bryce walked over to the door, opened it, and walked calmly over the couple, simpering slightly.

" Dr. Bryce, is Clark awake?" Jonathan asked as he and Martha urgently approached the doctor.

" Yes, he's awake." she said happily. " His sight is still gone, we've told him about it. He wants to speak to you. I'm sure you'd like to speak to him?"

" Oh, yes of course." Martha said smiling. She was glad to know her son was awake.

Jonathan, however, said, " What about his blood? Did you inject an IV?"

Dr. Bryce sighed, erasing the smile she'd had off her face. " I did inject an IV but it only has water in it to keep him hidrated. He shouldn't need any blood. Other then his blindness, he only has a few minor cuts."

" Thank you." Jonathan said as he ushered Martha out the door.

" You're welcome. He's in room 828." Dr. Bryce added.

@*@*@*@*@*@*@

Clark sighed. Everything was black. Pitch black. Darkness. Faded into even more darkness. He lay in his bed, thinking about nothing in particular except things like wondering where everyone was and why no one had come to see him. He realized that being blind must be very lonely at times.

" Clark?"

Clark jerked away from his dream world as he heard his mother. " Mom?"

" Clark!" she raced over to him.

He felt her warm hand on his. He smelled her perfume. He sensed her presence, bringing him an instant sensation of happiness. " Is Dad here?" he asked.

" Yeah, Son. I'm here too." Clark felt his father's rough hand on his other hand. He also felt him next to him. He smiled. Just knowing that his parents were there was a relief.

" You okay, Honey? You need anything?" Martha asked curiously. " No, I'm fine. I just was thinking..." His voice trailed off.

" What? What is it?"

" I just - what if this blindness is permanent? Or what if I can see again, but I lose my x-ray vision and my heat vision? What happens if I lose that?"

There was a short pause as everyone tried to take in what Clark was saying.

Jonathan finally said, " We can't say for sure, Clark. All we know is 'what ever will be, will

be'."

" Don't think about that, Clark. Just think about the good things." Martha stated giving his hand a slight squeeze. " Like - you'll be coming home soon. And I'll make your favorite meal for dinner."

Clark did a sort of half-smile, half-oh-well look. " I just hope this is done quick. When can I come home? Isn't it kind of risky leaving me here?"

" Dr. Bryce has been the only one looking in on you and since she already knows about your blood, it isn't to risky. Besides, the meteor rocks must be still in you or else that IV wouldn't be injected." Martha said. " We'll get you home as soon as possible, Son," Jonathan added.

Just then, a nurse came in. " Mr. Kent has a visitor."

" Bring them in." Clark agreed, hoping that someone would tell him who it was. He didn't have to hope long.

" Lana, " Jonathan said surprised.

" Yeah, Lex told me about the accident when he came into the Talon. I'm really sorry, Clark."

" It's okay." Clark replied, sitting up in his bed even though it really didn't make a difference to him.

" Well, we better talk with Dr. Bryce about getting you out of here." Jonathan said. He and Martha said bye to Lana and Clark as they left the room.

" So," Clark said. He wasn't really sure what to say. He knew he probably looked really stupid with the bandage over his face.

" How do you feel?" Lana asked.

Clark could hear her shoes walking closer to him. He tightened up a little. Last time he'd talked to her, they had kissed. What was she planning this time? " I feel a little shook up but, other then the fact that I can't see anything, I'm alright."

He heard her laugh. " Yeah, it must be really mind-changing: having no sight."

" Yeah. It definitely has its disadvantages," he agreed, wishing he could see her beautiful face. He wanted to just look at her one more time. She was so mesmerizing. He tensed up even more when he felt her soft hand holding his. " It'll be okay, Clark. You'll get through this." " I hope," he said.

" Yeah, I do too," she concurred quietly. He tried to control his breathing. She knew she was really close to him. He could feel it. She kissed his cheek softly and slowly.

He felt as if he was he was melting. He found himself smiling.

Then she pulled away.

" Get well. See ya later, Clark." she walked away.

" Yeah, see - er - uh - later." he said stupidly. He felt her smile and her slight giggle. " Bye,

Clark."

" Bye, Lana." he said, giggling at his own stupidity.

After he heard the door shut, he sighed and slid back down into his bed. ' Well, at least one thing went right today.' he thought to himself. Then he relaxed himself and fell into a dreamy sleep. A.N. It was alittle long but I hope u liked it! R & R!!! :o)
