Chapter 4:
The Truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
"You're a what!!!" Lana stared at her long time friend and started laughing
so hard tears rolled down her face. It was all just too much, first finding
him then the two hit-men and then Clark somehow surviving the attack, her
fragile emotional state just cracked and soon the laughter turned to tears
before turning once more to laughter
*********
Kalel sat back on his couch watching
as Lana burst into hysterics a slight frown on his face. Her mood swings
causing the small part of him that was still Clark Kent to worry "I told you
Lana I'm an Alien." He figured it would be easier to take her upstairs to his apartment above
the Club and give her his explanation in private in a location where he could control events.
*********
"Right, my best friend, Smallville's biggest boy scout, is from outer
space!" She giggled as she paced back and forth. "Well that would explain
your dress sense, plaid must be all the rage on your planet."
"Lana..."
"No!...You don't get to Lana me Clark Kent!" She waved a finger
threateningly in his face. "All this time you've lied to me...you lied to me
Clark, and that hurts worse than you leaving me behind that day." She looked
at him, no more laughter, no more tears just a profound look of Loss. "You
were right, the Clark Kent I knew and loved was a lie after all."
*********
Kalel sat there a semi stunned expression his only response as he watched
Lana Lang disappear from his life. Inside of him the small part of him he was trying desperately to bury was slowly fighting its way free using the one thing even Kalel could not defeat...Love.
"No....no your not walking out of my life!"
Lana flinched as he suddenly appeared in front of her blocking the stairs
down.
"Yes I lied about myself. I had no choice, Ma an Pa Kent decided I had to
hide who I am, what I can do, but the one thing that I never ever lied about
was my feelings for you." He reaches up slowly his finger tips lightly
touching her cheek his heart breaking as she flinched pulling back for a
breath moment. "I love you Lana Lang, I have since we were five years old."
*********
Lana struggled with the torrent of emotion that flowed through her at the
one moment, after three months of thinking she would never hear him say
those words again she melted, leaning into his touch, craving it almost. "I
missed you so much..." All was forgotten in that brief moment when Kalel
claimed Lana's lips as his own. She moaned as the passionate kiss shot
through her body leaving a trail of molten fire through her nerves as she
pressed her body against his.
*********
Kalel's mind exploded with the kiss, the feel of her small body pressed
against his was exciting, her fingers tips lightly stroking his stomach
through his shirt arousing, but the kiss, her tongue dancing with his was too
much, it was sensory overload and Kalel's mind just shut down as he pulled
her tighter against him. Finally it was the need for oxygen that broke the
pair apart, his strong arms circling her small frame protectively,
possessively even. "I never lied about loving you Lana."
*********
Lana nestled against his chest her small arm circling his was wrapping him
in a tight embrace, in her mind her emotions raged, anger hurt confusion
but above all others...Love. She knew she was trapped she loved him to much
to let him out of her life for a second time. "I want the truth Clark, all of it."
*********
Somewhere at the north pole, an ancient relic to a lost civilization was
being completed. In it's heart stood the Eradicator it's crimson eyes
focused upon a bank of monitors.
"Hall Sentinels. Begin accessing all planetary system files.
At his back a mechanoid appeared floating off the ground its voice a hollow
metallic buzz
Specify Search Parameters:....
The Eradicators face looked thoughtful for a brief moment. Search parameters
as follows. Super human feats. Breaching of atmosphere by Krypton planetary
fragments. Time Frame:...17 Solar years past. Begin search.
"This Unit will comply." The Mechanoid faded out and within a few moments on
the monitors floating above the Eradicator blazed to life.
I will locate you Son of Jorel and you will succumb to your destiny.
