Chapter 6:

Lana was only paying partial attention to the road as she made her way to the talon, everything that gone on earlier that day was running rampant through her mind. She wouldn't have bothered with her shift at the Talon if Martha hadn't insisted that they keep everything looking like normal. She had been at the Kent farm for two hours and there was no sign of Clark. She frowned as she remembered the conversation they had while alone in the loft.

**Flashback to loft***

Lana sat there on the couch a slight smile on her face as she watched Clark pace back and forth before he sat down beside her and gently took her small hand in his larger one. "It's like a fairy tale Clark, alien or not, powers or not you're my prince charming."

Clark shook his head and lifted her hand to his lips kissing each knuckle gently. " That's just it Lana. I'm no prince, and my life is no fairy tale, all I can offer you is right now, because in the real world there are no happy endings for people like me." He sighed. "Being a hero means you always have to sacrifice something and for the past three years almost what I've sacrificed has always cost me you, heroes don't get happy endings in the real world Lana." She silenced him, laying her finger across his lips.

"Then we make a happy ending to suit both of us." She leaned forward closing the distance between them and pressed her lips to his.

**End flashback**

Her fingers gently touched her lips that still tingled from the kisses they shared in the loft and smiled. She parked her SUV outside the Talon and smiled at the fact that there were no more secrets and Clark and her where finally back together where they belonged. She frowned as a woman running down the sidewalk jostled her. "Hey do I look invisible to you?" She frowned as the women kept on hurrying away. "Bitch." She pulled open the door to the coffee shop and stepped inside surprised to find it empty of customers and her waitresses pulling on their coats. "Ok someone want to tell me what's going on here?"

One of her waitresses looked at her like she was nuts. "The sheriffs department has ordered that we evacuate the town, something destroyed the Luthor Corp plant and it's on its way towards us." The waitress shook her head. "It's been all over the news for the past two hours. We were just waiting on you to arrive so we could lock up and get to the school gymnasium."

Lana blanched, the Luthor Corp plant was where Clark had gone, and he hadn't been able to stop this thing. "You better go, I won't be far behind you." The waitress nodded and vanished out the door. Lana ran across the talon room and snatched up the phone cursing at the lack of dial tone. She slammed the receiver down and sprinted from the coffee shop and quickly climbed into her SUV and started it up intent on getting back to the Kent's and find out about Clark. Her SUV tore down the main street speeding past several other drivers as she went.

She probably would have made it all the way out of town if it weren't for the wreckage of a police cruiser crashing into the road metres in front of her. She swerved narrowly avoiding the flaming debris and slammed on her brakes and stared horrified through her windshield at Doomsday. It stood almost seven-foot in height and almost 5 foot broad, the tattered remains of its containment suit clinging stubbornly to its grey muscular hide. Crystalline shards protruded through it's skin at all its joints and it's facial contours. Doomsday stood there amidst the burning wreckage the deputy's body dangling almost two feet off the ground his head covered by one of Doomsday's massive fists. Lana almost vomited as Doomsday's fist closed and the Deputy's body fell to the road with a thump his head nothing more than red stringy pulp.

Doomsday laughed its terrible growling laugh as it opened it's fist and the bits of blood bone and brain fell to the road with a wet splat before he turned his attention towards Lana's SUV. A chilling smile spread across Doomsday's face and it started to shamble through the debris towards Lana. Lana screamed in fear and slammed the SUV into reverse and started backwards down the road trying to out distance the chasing Doomsday. Outside people where screaming in fear and horror as this hulking behemoth lumbered down the street gaining on Lana before slamming it's massive fist down smashing through Lana's engine block. The truck spun in a skid before flipping over several times before slamming into a parked Sedan. Groggily Lana climbed out of the ruins of her SUV and tried to ruin, blood trickling down her face from a gash on her scalp.

Doomsday watched the puny two legs run laughing as it tried to escape him. It crouched bunching it's muscles before it leapt clean over the top of her and landing on the road so hard the tarmac shattered under it's boots. Lana screamed and tried to arrest her forward motion losing her balance in the process and falling onto her side. She sobbed in fear and pain as she stared up at the smirking monstrous visage of Doomsday. Doomsday raised both arms high above it's head fully intending to bring down a crushing blow upon Lana's frail human body when something slammed into him from behind smashing into his kidney area and sending him soaring across the road and smashed through the Post Office window.

Lana stared up at her rescuer with relief and awe, knowing that this white knight was her boy friend Clark Kent.

Clark Kent of the house of El gently helped Lana to her feet as the remains of the outer wall of the post office crumbled and Doomsday lumbered into the street again and roared at Clark. Clark growled. "Stay away from her you soon of a bitch!" Clark blurred out of sight and the clash of the titans began.
