[Challenge #6: "It's Gotta Be Done..."
A Smallville character has a task to accomplish that he or she does not really want to do.]
Jonathan left his injured wife alone at the hospital, and went home to tend the stock. Somebody had to do it, and God knew what that boy was up to -- feckless, heedless, never thinks things through....
(That's not true. He did think it through. It's your own damn fault you weren't still at Lex's wedding. It's your own damn fault the baby's dead.)
Lana was in the drive, tears on her face. He saw her compose herself. "Mr. Kent, I'm so sorry."
He took a deep breath. "Life goes on Lana. Maybe it's all for the best."
She opened her brown eyes very wide and looked at him like he was nuts. Unable to think of anything philosophical to say, Jonathan just said, "What?"
She blinked at him and bobbed her head. "Clark's run off to Metropolis!"
Oh, God.
Somebody'd have to tell Martha.
