Clark Kent had done things many people could only dream. Clark Kent had saved more people than most knew.

However, as Clark Kent looked out of the large window, glancing down at the large driveway of Lex Luthor's mansion, he knew things were not getting any easier. Lana Lang was still in her powerful, aggressive stage, and there was no telling when someone would get hurt. Not that it would be Clark.

Behind the powerful teen, Lex Luthor stood cautiously while eyeing his friend ludicrously. Here in front of him was man who seemed resistant to fire. Lex had watched with his own eyes only minutes ago when Clark had caught on fire. Besides the large amount of soot covering his bare upper body, he was fine. No burns, no cringes of pain. Clark Kent seemed invincible.

Lost in his reverie, Lex shook his head abruptly as Clark bypassed him down the hall. "Where you going, Clark?"

The younger man only gave a worried glance back before taking off in a dash towards the stairs. For a second, Lex thought he saw a blur pass in front of Clark, but after he blinked his eyes, the Kent boy was gone as well. Daring to follow, Lex dashed after him with bounding speed. The young Luthor took the steps three at a time, coming down to an empty vast hall. Confused, Lex glanced around awkwardly. But as the front door opened, his attention snapped toward it.

"Lex, how nice to see you," came a strong voice that made Lex sighed deeply inside of himself. Now was not the time for the elder Luthor to be arriving. Lex wanted to shout out Lionel and tell him to leave quickly, but the third Luthor present stepped in after Lionel. Standing with a smug grin, clad in a tight pale blue Tee shirt, a black jacket, and baggy jeans, stood Lucas. He was eyeing the hall with a satisfactory grin.

"Nice place you got here, Lex." He remarked, glancing at the exquisite paintings and valuable vases along the walls. Nevertheless, Lex was not in the mood.

"What are you two doing here? You have to get out!" Lex demanded as he rushed them. Lucas gave a hurt face instantly.

"What? No love for the family?"

The other Luthor son did not bother saying a word, only increasing his strides toward the other two men. Only then, did a blur fly by, knocking Lucas off his feet and propelling him forward toward Lex. One Luthor crashed into the other, causing them both to topple on the floor. Both grunted as they tried to regain themselves.

Another blur joined into the hall, until it seemed the two too-fast-to-be-seen blurs started to dart at each other, often slamming into a wall and demolishing it or blowing by the three Luthors. Suddenly the first blur slammed through the library doors, sending the two powerful parts of the entrance flying into the room. Before any of the three Luthors could make a move, Clark Kent called from behind them and down at the end of the hall. Lex eyed him suspiciously since he hadn't heard Clark near at all.

"You three need to leave! There's trouble here and you might get hurt!" Clark stated quickly. Lionel scoffed at the remark.

"Please Mr. Kent, I'm sure I've been in more dangerous situations than visiting my angry son."

Before any more remarks or pleas could be made, Lana Lang suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the blink of an eye. Lucas noticed her, jumping back at her sudden appearance. Then he moved in on her.

"No!" Clark blurted furiously at Lucas, as the Luthor son reached out to put a friendly hand on Lana's shoulder; his face smug and smirking.

Lana hand shot forward, snatching a large handful of Lucas' Tee shirt, and lifting him in the air. Clark lunged forward and tackled her, while Lucas was dropped to the floor with a look of surprise across his face. Almost as quick as Clark had lunged, he was sent back by a kick.

The Talon co-owner flipped up onto her feet and started to walk briskly toward Clark with a menacing glare. But as she got within three feet of him, Lana was once again tackled. This time by Lucas.

Despite being pinned by Lucas' strength, Lana spun around on the ground batting him to the side. The momentum brought him to the side, but before he became out of arm's length, Lana lashed out and grabbed the front of his shirt. Lucas continued to fall to the side, but Lana held tightly and stretched out his shirt. Then she yanked him back towards her, and gripped his shirt with both of her hands. She lifted him up above her head so fast that a loud ripping sound echoed in the hall. With a quick burst of super strength, Lana hurled Lucas through the air and over the two Luthors. Clark had anticipated, and caught Lucas out of the air softly just before the other two Luthors look back at him. Other than a large chunk of his shirt torn up, Lucas was unharmed and only a little shaken up. Clark set him on his feet and immediately moved on Lana.

With an odd look of fear, Lana suddenly took off out of the Luthor mansion, leaving behind the four men in a little bit of trepidation.

"Stay here!" Clark demanded towards the three Luthors, knowing they weren't about to follow. Then he took off out of the front door as well, not changing to super speed until he was off the driveway.

Clark Kent had no idea where Lana was heading off too. All he knew was that it was time her and Jor-El's game ended.

Clark continued to chase the girl he cared so much about, for miles around Smallville. Moving all over, Lana seemed to have no place to go to, not that Clark knew where she wanted to go. Finally, what seemed like minutes but was only seconds, Lana drew towards the Kent farm and disappeared. Clark halted his speed, relaxing when he noticed Lana had not gone into the house, where his parents currently were. However, as a sickening and painful sensation came over him, he soon knew that Lana was playing for keeps as well.

A clenched fist clutching a piece of Kryptonite slammed Clark in the jaw, and sent him a good deal of distance backwards. His body smashed through the roof of the barn as if it was water. As he smashed into the ground inside the Kent barn, Lana was already at his side.

She gripped his muscular arms and lifted him up, only to be batted by Clark's body as he swung himself into her. Lana smashed through the wall of the barn and back outside.

Then their game of tag continue, speeding around the Kent farm and smashing into each other. Lana still held the piece of Kryptonite, causing every collision with Clark to drain his energy. Deprived of most of his energy, Clark continued to move at Lana's speed, until another collision happened to knock the Kryptonite from Lana's hand. In that instant, Clark rounded towards her to stop her from regaining it.

Only he didn't expect her to charge at him.

The collision of the two super powered teens caused a mild shockwave and rush of air outwards from their spot. The Kent house shuddered harshly, while the fencing around the farm was blown out of the ground. The earth below Clark and Lana crumbled about five feet, ending up in a small crater from the powerful impact.

Clark cried out in pain as he dropped onto on knee, simultaneously catching Lana's limp form as she dropped. Her motionless form rested in Clark's strong arms. His face scrunched up, as he looked down at her with an expression of horror.

The collision had caused Clark some pain, but Lana was out cold. Clark lifted her up, cradling her against his broad chest, and headed in the direction of the caves. It was time to have another talk with Jor-El.
