"Dad? What's wrong with the adoption?" Clark said suddenly panicked.
"It's... Lionel Luthor. I know it." Jonathon said obviously angry.
"Jonathon... what is he doing?" Martha asked.
"He is saying that the adoption was fake." Jonathon said slamming his fist into the door.
"It is fake... but he did it! Why would he say that?" Clark asked, beginning to panic more by his father's rage.
"I don't know Clark...." Jonathon said trying to calm down.
"He is up to something!" Clark said, "Do you think he knows about me?"
Martha had been thinking the same thing, but didn't want to alarm her son anymore than he already was, "Clark, I don't know... but why would he want to bring out in the open that your adoption was fake, when he was the one who set it up?"
"It doesn't make sense." Clark said looking towards his father for his opion.
"It doesn't matter if it makes sense! He is doing it! The lawyer said that they aren't blaming this mistake on Lionel Luthor, he says that one of Lionel's employees has recently confessed to helping me set this whole fake adoption up 14 years ago." Jonathan revealed.
"What! He can't do that!"Clark yelled.
"Well he is! He has a lawyer coming over later to discuss the matter further." Jonathan couldn't even look at Clark while he said it.
"We will just have to fight it. Can't we say that Lionel set the whole thing up–" Clark was interrupted by his father.
"We can't! Then they will still know that your adoption was a fake and then we will be in the same dilemma as before!"
"Dad, what are we going to do?" Clark asked in a low tone.
"I don't know son..." Jonathon said as he walked out the door leaving only Martha and Clark in the house.
"Clark, don't worry, sweetie, we will figure something out." Martha said trying to calm her son.
"Mom, I'm not so sure." Clark said sitting down on the couch, thinking about how everything just changed in the last 5 minutes.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"Jonathon, are you sure you are ready to do this?" Martha said referring to the Lawyer who was due any second.
"Yes, ready as I'll ever be." Jonathan said obviously still rattled.
"Jonathon, you have to try and calm down a little bit." Martha said rubbing his arm.
"Martha, how can I calm down when I might be minutes away from having my son be taken away from us?" Jonathon said collapsing back on the couch. Martha was holding back tears.
"We will get threw this together." Martha said giving Jonathon a kiss.
Clark had over heard what Jonathon has said about them coming to take him away. He didn't think it had gotten that serious already and it scared him. Clark ran out of the house, without his parents knowing he had even heard anything, to the barn.
* * * * * * * *
Lana had just pulled into Clark's driveway and started walking up to the loft, but stopped when she saw Clark slam his fist threw the barn wall, obviously upset. She ran to him,
"Clark, what's wrong?" Lana asked.
"I cause so much pain and suffering to my parents...I should have never came back from metropolis!" Clark said turning away from Lana and heading out of the barn.
"Clark!" Lana said grabbing Clark by the arm and turning him around. "What's going on? Why are you so upset?"
"It's my adoption, Lionel is saying that it was a fake." Clark said looking more upset than Lana had seen since the day he left for metropolis.
"I thought your parents found you in a corn field?" Lana asked confused.
"They did, but my father made a deal with Lionel Luther. Lionel said thank you for my father helping save Lex and get him to a hospital, and Lionel told my father if he ever needed anything to call him. Lionel arranged my fake adoption for me." Clark said looking into Lana's eyes for the first time.
"Oh Clark.... what is going to happen?" Lana asked wishing she could calm Clark down and make him feel better.
"I don't know..." Clark said. "All I do is cause every one around me more pain and trouble."
"No Clark! That is not true, I love you and you bring me so much happiness." Lana said hugging Clark.
Clark just stood there holding on to Lana, not wanting to let her go. He bent down and kissed Lana showing her he felt the same way.
"Thank you Lana." Clark said, stroking her hair.
"For?" Lana asked.
"You always make me feel better... wanted." Clark said giving her a quick kiss.
"You are wanted, Clark... we will get threw this together." Lana said in a calm voice even though she was panicking, would Clark be taken away?
* * * * * * * * * *
"Get out!" Jonathon yelled at the lawyer. Martha said, "Jonathon, calm down."
"No, Martha I will not calm down, he is trying to take Clark from us. Get the hell out of my house, now! I don't want to see you back here, ever again!"
* * * * * * * * * **
Clark sat up abruptly at the sound of his father yelling. HE looked out the loft window to see Jonathon shouting at he lawyer.
"Get the hell out!" Was what Clark heard the loudest. Lana heard it too. Clark looked back at her on the loft's couch, as if to say 'This is bad... very bad.'
Lana didn't know what to say, but just grabbed Clark's hand and watched with him, as Jonathon yelled more.
* * * * * * * *
After Lana had left, Clark finally went into the house to see what had happened.
"Dad, what going on? What did they say. Just tell me the truth, I heard you yelling." Clark asked his worried parents.
"Clark, sit down." Jonathan said walking into the living room.
"It's... Lionel Luthor. I know it." Jonathon said obviously angry.
"Jonathon... what is he doing?" Martha asked.
"He is saying that the adoption was fake." Jonathon said slamming his fist into the door.
