The next morning Clark was surprised to see Lex's car parked outside his loft. He ran in normal speed and up the stairs to his loft to find Lex standing and staring out of the large window.

"Lex, what are you doing here?"

"Just thought i'd stop by." He said, hand in pockets.

"Look...Lex, do you think we can sit down?"

"Sure." He said as the two went to sit at the couch Clark had in his loft.

"Okay, here it goes." Clark told Lex the whole story, not wanting to look at Lex until he was finally finished.

Lex sat with his eyes wide as he listened to what Clark was telling him. He couldn't believe it, he really did hit Clark with his car at sixty miles an hour. After Clark was finished Lex couldn't find anything to say.

"Lex? Do you think I'm a freak?" Clark asked worried about what Lex was thinking.

"Of course not Clark. I'm glad you told me the truth, you can trust me." He said honestly and smiling.

"Great." Clark sighed in relief.



Later that day Clark met up with Lana at the Talon, she called him shortly after Lex left to meet her.

"Hey Lana." He said as he planed a kiss on her lips and giving her a hug.

He knew the reason why she called him wasn't because she had second thoughts about keeping hi secret. She told him he can trust her, and he knew he could. They sat at a booth in the empty Talon and just talked.

"Clark, I have to tell you something." She said looking down as if she didn't want to say what she was about to say.

"You know you can tell me anything Lana." He said wrapping an arm around her.

"Just an hour ago Nell told me I should thank Lex about the trip, and that I should go over and tell him that, so I go over to his house. After a few knocks I get the feeling he's not home, but the door is unlocked, so I go in and I can just barely hear voices coming from upstairs, and I recognize one of them as being Lex's. I make my way upstairs to where the voices are coming from and sure enough, it was Lex. What he was saying...I just can't believe." She said holding back tears.

"Lana what is it?" He said pulling her close worried.

"He was telling someone about you Clark. Telling him your secret. I'm guessing the person he was talking to was some sort of scientist, because he told him that the only way to contain you would be to use one of the meteor rocks. He even told him where they could find you."

"Oh my god. But Lex told me I could trust him." Clark said, anger in his voice as he slammed his fist into the table.

The doors to the Talon opened up, despite the Closed sign. It was Lex.

"Hey you two, hope I'm not interrupting anything. Lana, what happened earlier, my butler told me you left in a hurry." Lex said pulling a piece of meteor rock out of his pocket as several men wearing white jump suits and mask walked into the Talon and next to Lex.
