Hello again, as always I do not own any characters from "Smallville" neither do I own any from "X –Men" either. So now that, that is cleared up once again, sit back, relax and enjoy...but please don't fall asleep at your computer.

Back at the School for the Gifted

Clark gazed out of his bedroom window at the school. He had been there a week and it still amazed him every second that he was there that there was such a place as this. He could use his powers freely, have fun with normal people his age, he could even play basketball without fear of being caught using his powers. Here was a place where every one was equal, and he loved it. Everything was so different here, each time he looked out his window there was something new outside to see, right now he could see a young boy walking on water. It was one of the most amazing things being around these people. Everyone accepted him here, no hiding, and almost no secrets.

Behind him watching him Rogue stood, he looked different from when they had first found him...almost like the weight of the world had been taken off of his shoulders. He looked more relaxed, and at peace then ever before trying not to startle him she spoke up.
"Hi Clark, what are you looking at so intently that you don't even seem to be alive." She said smiling; he turned around at the sound of her voice and gave her that smile that she loved so much. Clark beckoned her to come to the window.
"Oh I was just watching everyone, its just all so interesting...don't you think?" Clark gazed at her, and then turned his attention back to the window.
"I guess I'm used to it by now, your new, you'll get used to it soon enough, we all do, here at least. Can't say the same thing for the outside world, but that's why this place was created...to protect us." Rouge looked outside at all of her friends for so long just acting like normal kids, this was her family now, and she was used to it being that way. She just hoped Clark would feel the same way soon about it. She wanted him to stay so much, they had a connection, and she could feel it.

At the same time that Rouge was thinking these thoughts, Clark was thinking almost the exact same thing. Instead of feeling hopeful like Rouge however, he felt scared, more scared then he ever had in his life. He had never had much luck with girls. He had scared Lana off, and Chloe, well he was never quite sure how he felt about Chloe. One moment she is one of his best friends in the world, and the next he thinks that he might be in love with her. But with Rouge he had this feeling that he couldn't describe. Was it that they were soul mates or something?

Ok, I know another short chapter, but I am having major problems. Problems like writer's block. Help!!! If any one has any ideas on where I should go from here, or just any comments please do your job and submit a review. Thanks for reading!
