Lana's world seemed to slow down as she heard her would be savior speak.
`Get a grip girl your hallucenating, its not him, it can't be him`.
To often she thought she heard his voice, saw him out of the corner of her
eye.
As she felt his hand gently close around her elbow and the familiar spark she gasped spinning around to face him. "Clark..."
**********
Kalel stood there like a deer in the head lights of a Mack truck knowing that disaster was about to strike and he couldn't move. Even with the ring there was just somethings he couldn't leave behind, and the main one was standing right in front of him staring up at him with tears in her eyes.
"Lan....." He never got the chance to finish as her full force slap caught him across the face.
*********
Tears spilled down her cheeks, her hand cradled against her stomach, it had been like slapping a brick wall. "You bastard, three months Clark and not a word, not a phone call, nothing, do you have any idea how much your parents miss you, how much i missed you, and i find you here at a goddamn night club." She promised herself she wouldn't cry but as she stood there watching his seagreen eyes looking for an apollogy, an explanation she felt her tears slowly trickle down her face. "Why are you here Clark, whats going on, why did you leave me?"
*********
"Yeah...I missed you too Lana." Kalel just stood there staring into those chocolate eyes of hers feeling a familar ache inside himself at the pain he saw there in her gaze. `No Clark Kent is dead I am Kalel now I wont let this bother me.` Absently he reached up rubbing the cheek where she struck him, not from any kind of pain, but from a familiar spark of electricity that always happened when the pair touched.
"I told you that day Lana, I had to leave, I had to keep you all safe, and don't lie to me about my mom and dad Lana, I saw how he looked at me when he found out my mom had lost the baby, I'm not going back to Smallville, I'm building a new life here, away from Lionel Luthor, away from the Meterors, so I'm asking you, don't tell anyone you saw me, it's best if everyone thinks Clark Kent is dead."
He leaned forward before she could react catching her lips in a soft gentle kiss that spoke of longing and pain and goodbye. "Goodbye Miss Lang." With that he walked away from her heading for the Clubs exit.
*********
Lana stood there at the bar for a few moments her eyes closed, the feel of his lips on hers again after so long was mind blowing, slowly though the real world broke through the pink haze that clouded her mind `Goodbye Miss Lang?` She turned grabbing her Purse and ran across the dance floor after his retreating form. After three months of hurt, worry and pain there was no way he was going to run out on her again. She slammed into the Exit door barreling it open.
"Hold it right there Clark Kent, I let you run away before not going to let it happen again understand?" She grabbed his sleeve trying to turn him to face her. "No more bullshit Clark you are going to tell me whats wrong with you."
*********
As the pair stood there on the sidewalk staring at each other an Italien voice broke apart the moment. "Yo Mr K Bruno sends his regards!"
Kalel turned to the source of the voice and swore as he saw two men standing there armed with two Uzi's who opened fire, a deadly hail of bullets coiming towards him and Lana. Without thinking he grabbed her pulling her tight against his chest trying to shield her body as Bullet after Bullet slammed into his back. After nearly a minute of continuous fire the guns ran dry and the two gunmen jumped into their Sedan and with a squeal of tires drove off. "Lana!" He pushed her to arms length letting his eyes trace her body looking for any sign of injury. "Are you hurt, were you hit anywhere?"
*********
Lana just stood there in shock "Wha....How?" She yanked herself out of his grasp stepping back a few feet. "You should be dead!" She yelled hystericly. "They shot you, they shot you and your still standing!" She stared at him tears running down her cheeks. "God I thought we were going to die Clark, please, please tell me whats going on?"
*********
Kalel sighed. "Guess I owe you an explanation Lana, time you learned about the real me."
TBC....
As she felt his hand gently close around her elbow and the familiar spark she gasped spinning around to face him. "Clark..."
