Sorry for taking so long to update. Here's some more Clana.

Clanafan: Thank you!

CM Driganii: Thanks! I hope you enjoy this Clana action.

MPELDER: Thanks you! Chloe would regularly be jealous because she acts like it so much. And she probably would blackmail Clark for funny reasons.

adaire: Thank you!

dr. no: Sorry it didn't turn out like you liked, but I hope you like the Clana in this chapter.

===================================================================

Just as Clark wanted it, everything slowed down. His will to move faster than the average eye could see and the ability to move freely among a semi freeze-frame were both very valuable. But now, it was the latter power Clark would need.

The platform beneath his feet was slowly coming apart. The two girls behind him and Charlie were both frozen as well. Kevin was too.

Taking his time but not going slow, Clark gently pulled the three people he was trying to protect back a good distance away from the breaking part of the platform. Next, the powerful teen made his way to Kevin, picked up him, flung him to the side, and made his way right next to the others. Then everything resumed normally.

Chloe gasped quickly and Charlie head spun every direction. Lana was still unconscious, and Kevin couldn't believe he was just a good ten yards from where he had been a second ago.

Clark, with years of practice, easily looked as surprised as the others. He was better at not letting onto his abilities than trying to make up excuses for them.

The blades of a helicopter reached Clark's great hearing, and he knew it was on its way.

A minute later, a police helicopter was landing on the platform. Kevin was still too shocked to run, thus giving Clark and easier time. He didn't feel like chasing him down or anything.

The police were instantly on him, and a few came to check on Clark and the others. Lana was just awaking, and saying she was fine. Charlie was insisting that his injury was no big deal. And Chloe of course was snapping her digital camera wildly.

Finally though, after ten minutes, the helicopter had left with Kevin and the group had finally made it to the top floor. Thanks to a ride in the helicopter. A policeman said they would be back up in ten minutes to pick up the stranded teens. With no elevator, they were stuck. But everyone was still enjoying himself or herself.

Charlie had pulled his ripped muscle shirt off, and Chloe was examining the claw marks. But that didn't last long, as Chloe's hands started moving up and down his back and shoulders. There lips were locked, and they weren't slowing.

Lana looked a little uncomfortable, from what Clark could tell. She leaded on the railing, arms crossed and elbows propped up. Clark moved over next to her and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Hey, what's on your mind?" Clark asked calmly.

"You." Lana replied simply, looking up at Clark. Clark blushed a little, but kept his gaze on Lana's face. Her hand found it's way up the back of his shirt, and she softly massaged him.

"Lana, I know there's a lot I'm not telling you." The alien teen stated, but Lana shook her head.
"I know that Clark, I mean, look at yourself." Lana replied, easily ripping what was left of the front of Clark's shirt in half. The shreds of his T-shirt hung downwards. Lana rubbed her hand over his abs, and then up his chest.

"Maybe Kevin just has bad aim." Clark answered sheepishly. Lana didn't buy it.

"Obviously you don't like sharing your deep dark secrets with me Clark, but the things you do share with me are great. You've always been there for me. Physically, mostly. I know you are always saving people, but I really miss your company. I don't want to sound selfish or anything, but now that you've chased after me, I've been doing a lot of thinking."

Clark listened to what she said. He could share his secrets, but he could share his love.

"Lana, I hope you really know how much it would've pained me to let you go so quickly. I can share something else with you though." Clark answered softly. Feeling that the moment was right, he slipped his arm around her back, and pressed his lips against hers. Lana indulged him. They kissed, but it was the final acceptance of feelings toward each other that made it all the more memorable.

Clark felt no regrets that Chloe might be watching. He had no regrets of making his parents worry. But most of all, he had no regrets of chasing after the girl he had loved for so long.

===================================================================

Clark and Lana entered their room twenty minutes later, Chloe and Charlie entering theirs.

Clark pulled off his jacket, and tossed it on the dresser. He had already taken off the shredded mess of his new shirt, after apologizing to Lana.

He stretched, and noticed Lana watching.

"Like what you see?" Clark asked, feeling almost like he was under red kryptonite. He felt so comfortable with Lana.

Lana blushed a little and nodded.

"You are very muscular, Clark. You look great shirtless." Lana answered, moving closer to him. Her hands went over his muscular arms and broad shoulders, down his muscular pecks and along his six-pack abs.

"Must be all the farm chores." Clark answered slowly, melting because of Lana's touch. Her hands slid up Clark's back, causing him to melt more. Lana push on his muscular chest, and Clark being so weak because of her, fell on his back on the bed. Before Clark could get up, she propped herself on his stomach, and pressed her lips to hers. But then Clark's cell rang.

Lana stopped and blushed, quickly getting off of him and retreating to the bathroom.

Dammit, just when it was getting good, Clark thought, half disappointed, half amused.

Clark answered the phone. But to his surprise, it was Lex.

As his friend started talking, Clark peeked in the other room through the connecting door, and found Chloe asleep with her head on Charlie's bare chest. He was stroking her hair.

Clark quietly closed the door, and focused back on the call.

"Uh hey Lex, what's up?"

"Clark, I was just wondering why I have received an E-mail that reads "Clark Kent: Stripper in Training". I'm a little worried about opening it up." Lex chuckled on the other line.

"Don't open it Lex!"

"Oops, I already clicked "read". Sorry Clark..." Lex replied sarcastically, but then his voice trailed off. "Clark, do you parents know about this, because I certainly am a little confused now." Lex started laughing again, and Clark turned red.

"Would you believe that it was a trick?"
