Okay I have been trying to post a chapter a day but I have been real busy! I hope you like this!

Clark took Chloe's hand gently and led her down the loft stairs. He walked over to the truck and opened the door for her. Climbing in the drivers side, he started the vehicle. He glanced at Chloe who had a questioning look on her face.

"What are we doing? Where are we going to go??" asked Chloe.

"I can't show you anything here, we need to go someplace more...private." Clark explained. '

The truck pulled out of the driveway. They drove along for a while in silence, when Clark picked a spot on the side of the road and pulled over. Clark stepped out of the truck, and chloe followed his lead. they walked into the forest near the road.

After a long time walking, Chloe asked, "Clark, how much further do we have to go?"

"We're almost there." Clark replied. they came to a clearing with a small cabin in it. Clark stopped. "Okay, here we are."

"Why did we have to come all the way out here? Who lives in this cabin?" asked Chloe.

"No one lives here. You wanted proof that what I said was true right?"

"Yes!" said Chloe, more harshly than she had intended, some of the anger coming back.

"Okay, what you saw earlier was...you weren't imagining it, but I didn't exactly...disappear." Clark said.

"Then what did you do? Run faster than the eye can see?" Chloe said sarcastically.
"Uh.....yeah...." Clark said uneasily.

"Oh God, I can't believe this! You're a speeding meteor fre-- alien..." said Chloe, trying not to hurt Clarks feelings, but still unsure about what he had told her.

"I can...I can do more than that." Clark said.

"Really?" asked Chloe, her journalistic curiosity surfacing. "What?"

"Well, I'm really strong, and I--" Clark began.

"How strong??" Chloe interrupted. " Lift something!" she said and began looking around for something heavy. She settled on a large rock, almost as tall as her and about four feet around. "This!" she said, "Lift this big rock, if you can. Can you?" she questioned.

"Yeah, I can..." Clark walked over to the big rock. He squatted down and put his hands under it. He lifted, but it only made the rock roll, because it was so big, he couldn't get his arms around it. "Oops. Um.. how about I...oh I know, I can chip it."

"The rock? You're gonna chip the rock??" Chloe said with disbelief.

"Unless you don't want me to..."

"No, by all means, go ahead and....punch..the rock...." Chloe said. "Isn't that going to hurt?"

"You'll see." said Clark mysteriously. He stood in front of the rock, and pulled his fist back. WHAM!!! WHAM!!! WHAM!!! WHAM!!! Clark hit the rock with alternating fists, and the rock crumbled.

Chloe just stood there, eyes wide, unable to move. She didn't even blink.

Clark walked over to her. "Are you okay?" he asked, worrying this might be too much for her.

Chloe snapped out of her stupor. "Uh...yeah...yeah, I'm okay. A little--no, a LOT freaked out, but I'm okay..." Then Chloe's journalistic instincts getting the best of her once again, she asked, "So what else can you do? Anything?"

"Yeah, I can s--" Clark was interrupted once again.

"WOAH!! Wait a sec, I just saw you literally punch a rock to pieces, and you're not bleeding to death! Wha-" It was Clarks turn to interrupt.

"As far as I know, my skin is impenetrable." Clark said.

"As far as you know...so like, this rock isn't the worst thing you've survived?" Chloe asked, intrigued.

"No, it's not. Remember when Lex's car went over the bridge?" asked Clark.

"Sure, you dove in and saved him, how could I forget?"

"No, Chloe, I didn't. He hit me at sixty miles an hour and I was thrown off the bridge with him. I ripped open the roof of his car, pulled him out, and brought him ashore." Clark told her.

"Wow...." Chloe said in amazement. "That's....wow!" Chloe said with a grin.

"Okay," Clark said, a laugh escaping his lips, "NOW, can I tell you what else I can do?" he asked.

"Yeah, I can't wait!" said Chloe.

"Okay I will say this fast so you don't have time to cut me off again! I have heat vision, and I can see through things, like an X-Ray." Clark said.

"Wow...heh heh....X-Ray vision, huh?" Chloe smiled nervously, and Clark realized what she was thinking.

"Oh! No, Chloe I would never do something like that!!" Clark -assured her.

Chloe looked somewhat relieved. "Okay, I think I should trust you, I mean you weren't kidding about you being...well, you know...."

"Thanks Chloe." Clark said with a smile. he was glad that Chloe wasn't as freaked out as Pete had been when he first found out. Then suddenly it hit him like a two-ton weight. "Oh no!!" Clark groaned. "What am I gonna tell my Dad??"
