Smallville- Sorry
Continued.
Lana walked in front of Clark, climbing up the stairs. They sat down on the old, dirty couch that lay there.
"Hey, can I look through one of your telescopes," Lana asked, getting up from her seat.
"Um, sure," Clark said. He always liked to look up at the stars when he felt lonely, which was a lot of the time. Standing back up, he followed her to one of the larger telescopes. She adjusted it until it focused clearly on the wonders above.
"Wow. . . it's really beautiful up there."
"Yeah. Just like you." He leaned down to give her kiss, but soon after, she broke away as her foot slipped. Like always, he was always there to break her fall.
"Sorry. . . uh, thanks."
"Hey Lana, um, can I ask you something?" 'Go for it before you lose any sort of confidence you had, you idiot,' he thought to himself silently.
"Sure, anything."
"Um, how would you feel if I told you I wasn't from around here?"
"Why? It doesn't matter, we all know you were adopted, but-"
"No, not Smallville here, Earth here."
"What?" Lana asked, confused. Oh, so not good, if she was starting to freak out before actually getting to the big part.
"Never mind."
"No, tell me. What do you mean?"
"Well, I'm sort of different. I wanted to tell you this for a long time, but my parents wouldn't let me, but trust me, I really wanted to. . . and. . . and I don't want you to think of me differently, and. . . and promise not to freak?" Clark was stuttering and he knew it, but talking to her was so hard.
"I promise. Just tell me already!" She was finally going to be in on his so-called "secret," whatever that is. It was hard not to smile as she waited for the truth. He started walking away from her, thinking of showing her what he could do. Then it'd be easier than telling her at first. A moment later, Clark used his super-speed. He ran down the loft, down to the farm, grabbed something, and came back up in less than five seconds.
"How?" Lana asked, surprised as the blur came back up with a bunch of little pink flowers in his hand. Confused, he quietly shushed her before continuing.
"Shh. . . for you," he responded, ignoring her question.
"Ah, a show and tell, how nice." That came out all funny, Lana unsure of whether or not she meant it sarcastically or with enthusiasm. Stranger things have happened to people in Smallville just you remember that Lana,' she said to herself, trying to make herself believe what Clark was doing was actually cool. Putting on a smile, Lana continued her full attention on Clark. He walked over to the opposite side from which he stood, finding a sharp blade. Clark walked back holding it. Lana was a little scared at first, when she saw how sharp the blade he carried was. Knowing Clark wouldn't do anything to hurt her, she calmed down a bit, still unsure about what he was about to perform this time.
Clark sat back down, to the right of Lana, and pulled up his left sleeve. Poking it through his skin, the blade did not go through, but instead crushed into pieces, falling to the ground.
"Clark? How'd you do that? Is it some magic trick? I always love finding out how the stunt works. Are you-" Clark just laughed at her while she kept raving on about how his abilities were magic. "Hey, what's so funny?"
"I'm no magician, Lana."
"Then how?" He stopped laughing, repeating in his mind exactly what he should say.
"I. . . um, I came from another planet. {awkward silence} On the day of the meteor shower a long time ago, I came here. {awkward silence continues, as Lana looks at him distantly} Lana, don't think of me like that. {strange look on her face disappears} That's why you've noticed many times that I'm sort of. . . well, different. An alien, you would call." It's not like silences were uncommon for them, but this time, he really wished she'd saying something before he completely loses it. Now, she was even starting to scoot away from him. He let a few minutes pass for her to say something, but that was sort of a lot to take in.
"Lana? Lana, please say something." She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out as she continued to look at him.
