Hey guys, this is chapter 4, I'm sorry the letters got so mixed up in the last three, this is my first fanfiction, and I didn't know that it had to be done one chapter at a time. Sorry about that. I'll try and fix it this time.

So, here it is.

Chapter 4: Telling the truth

Lana followed Clark into the loft. She could see in Clark's face just all the anxiety, fear he was feeling. She only imagined what his big secret was, she had a pretty good idea of what it could be, after all, she had seen that display of super speed at the Talon. But it really wasn't enough to prepare her for what she was about to hear. She felt scared and relieved at the same time. Scared because she just didn't know what to expect, and relieved because she was finally going to find out Clark's biggest secret, he trusted her enough to share with her all the pain he felt for having to carry that burden, sure it was also a gift and it made him special, but it just brought too much agony, too much hurt.

"Lana, ." Clark started in an attempt to find the right words to say. The truth was that he was terrified, he didn't want to lose her, these past few months without her had been the hardest of his life, "it is one thing to live your life without ever having her, it is completely different one to have her and then have to spend it without her" he thought. And for what? Sometimes he just wished he has never come to Earth in the first place, it would have spared him a lot of pain. But he was here, and now he was faced with the greatest challenge he could ever imagine, tell the girl he loves that he is actually an alien, from a planet called Krypton who came down on the day of the meteor shower, he same one that had killed her parents, and that he had all this amazing powers. He only dreamed that she would take it ok.

"Yes, Clark ." She interrupted as he thoughts were drifting away.

"I don't want you to hate me, or get freaked out or something. I just ask that you remember that how much I love you, and know that I would never do anything to hurt, that is why I haven't told you this before. Please Lana, I couldn't bear to lose you." Clark pleaded, he just felt so bad, he was too scared to do this, he thought of backing off, but he just knew he couldn't do that.

"Clark, I know that. I would never ever think you would do anything to hurt me. I love you, and nothing you could say would make stop loving you" She said in the sweetest way she knew, trying to make him feel a bit better and more comfortable with the whole situation.

"But Lana, I have hurt you before, I never intended to, but sometimes my gifts seem to sneak up on me." He shook his head, looked away from her, and headed to the window.

"Your gifts? You mean like what you did back in the Talon? Clark, what else can you do?" To Clark's surprise, she didn't look freaked or anything like that, she just looked truly intrigued and curious. But he just knew all that would change when he told her the whole truth.

"I can shoot fire from my eyes, I have x-ray vision, I am so strong I'm pretty much indestructible." He had been thinking a lot about how to say it, but he just decided to say it without further do. At this point, he was looking down, he couldn't stand looking into her eyes, he was afraid of what he might see.

" . I don't really know what to say . so , like, . what are you?" Just the way she said didn't hurt Clark as much as he had thought. He was confused, but he felt it in her voice that she wasn't feeling at all as weird as he was.

"I don't understand Lana, you don't seem too concerned. I was going to ask you not to think I am a freak, but I feel like I won't have to." Clark was really puzzled, how was it that she was so ok with this. Did she not care?

"Listen Clark, I confess I am a little overwhelmed, but it is just that this explain so much that it is making me relieved, I don't know if it makes any sense, but know that I would never stop talking to you over something like this, it just makes even more special in my eyes." Lana said this staring straight at his eyes, and he just couldn't believe that was happening, of all the ways he had imagined for this conversation, this one had never been an option, not even in his dreams.

"But Lana, I still have so much to tell you, how can you be so sure it won't be too much for you. I mean, god, I don't know what I mean, I don't know what I am saying, you just caught me off guard, I never expected you to be this way." He said looking at her face, he was now a little less frightened knowing what to expect.

"I am this way because I love you! And what I am feeling is so strong that I can just assure you that it won't go away like this. I know you Clark, what you are telling me doesn't change that, you are the one person that I know who would go out of your way to help me, you're the one who's always there for me", she started moving closer to him, "you're the one who is always saving me, you're the one who makes everything seems ok even when it's all a mess. I love you." And with that she kissed him. Tears coming out her eyes, she just held on to him, her lips locked to his, they just drifted away in a passionate and tender and sweet kiss, it was full of emotions, full of all the things they wanted to say but hadn't yet, all the dreams and hopes they had for their future along with the fear and anticipation.

Lana was the one to break it off.

"It doesn't mean you're off the hook, Mr. You still have to tell me the rest." She said with big smile on her face. Clark laughed.

The day passed them by, as they sat in the couch in the loft, and Clark told Lana all about krypton and green and red kryptonite, and Jor-el and all those times he had saved her, the stuff that happened with Chloe right when he had finally asked Lana out . everything, he really told everything there was to know about him and his powers. When he was done it was like a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and he felt good about it.

"Are you ok?" He asked Lana as he ran his hand through her hair in the sweetest way.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I think. I'm sorry, I am just absorbing everything you just told me, you know, it is a lot of information that I will have to think a lot about, if I wanna understand you, which I do" She said, turning his head to face him. He smiled.

"That smile is going to be the end of me" she said with a cute grin.

"And YOU are gonna be the end of me!" He said looking deeply into her eyes. With that he cupped her face and brought it close enough for him to kiss her. It was intense, and he just kept running his hands along her face and through her hair. The kiss just had so much love in it, and it was at the same time, passionate and innocent. They pulled apart, and he hugged her.

She just sat there, head resting on his shoulders, and it felt so right, so real, how could she have ever lived without it? She opened her eyes, and her daydreams were interrupter when she saw the clock and realized the time.

"Clark, it is 3 am" She said rapidly pulling away from his arms, not wanting to.

"Is it that late already? Or should I say that early?" He said smiling.

"I gotta go, Chloe and Mr. Sullivan are probably worried about me, I can't believe I forgot to call and let them know I was here." She moved her hands around like she was really concerned.

"Calm down, Lana. Let's go, I will walk you home. I am sure I can get you there in no time." He said grinning.

Lana looked at him and smiled. They went down the stairs and out of the loft. It was a beautiful night. Clark then picked Lana up in his arms, and sped to Chloe's house, leaving nothing but the echoe of Lana's laughter.
