A/n: Chapter 10 is kind of short, I'm aware, and I'm sorry about that. I was writing chapter's 9 and 10 at like, one o'clock in the morning because I knew everyone would want two more chapters before I went on vacation. Yes, I am going on vacation from tomorrow (tuesday) morning to Thursday afternoon, so there will be no more updates until I get back...But I plan to work on this story while i'm gone, and you won't be disappointed! Also, I wanted to let everyone know that since there's going to be a slight delay in updates, I am holding a contest. I have the sex of the baby in my head but I won't be revealing that until later chapters. However, whoever can come up with the best name will win a shoutout in my chapter. So start reviewing and coming up with some names! Thanks again for the rewiews and I love you all!
"Lex, wait. There's more." Clark replied, putting a hand up to stop the butler.
Lex rolled his eyes. "So it gets better? Please, continue ripping my heart into little shreds, Clark, you've done enough of that already." he replied, his tone even, his voice steely.
"Well..." Clark began, not sure to tell him about his powers. "I've got powers, Lex."
"Powers?" Lex said, again raising his eyebrows.
Clark nodded. "Yes," he said. "People have begun to wonder, mainly you, Chloe, and Lana, how I get from one place to the other so fast. I have superspeed, I can get from one place to another in a matter of seconds. When I went to Metropolis for you the other day, I got there in about 5 minutes." he explained. "I can also...I can start fire with my eyes, if I concentrate well enough; I still haven't quite come into that yet. I have x-ray vision, I can see through things - through people. And," he said, closing his eyes and then opening them, slowly looking up at Lex, whose face showed no emotion. "I'm allergic to those green meteor rocks. You've noticed before i'm sure that everytime I was around Lana's necklace, or anyplace where there was exposure to the meteor rocks, that start to get weak and look sick; I'm not sure what affect the rocks have on me, but I can't be near them, Lex. If I'm exposed to them for longer than a period of a couple minutes, I could die."
"You're an alien." is all Lex could say, still staring at the younger boy like he'd suddenly now grown another eye. "I can't believe you!"
"I am also coming into my flying abilities. I sometimes wake up in the morning floating over my bed, or sometimes, I'm not even in my room when I wake up; I might be out in the loft or somewhere else."
"Who else knows about this other than your parents? And now me?" Lex demanded softly.
"Pete. He's the first one I told."
"So you trusted him more than you trusted me?" Lex asked, hurt evident in his voice.
Clark sighed heavily. "We weren't - as close as we are now, Lex, you and I weren't. Pete is my best friend, as are you, but I've known him longer. I felt I needed to tell someone, needed to get it off my chest, and Pete was there, he was the one I put all my trust and confidence in. Like I'm doing with you. Lex, you have to promise me you won't tell anyone what I've told you, promise me you won't expose me."
Lex thought for a minute before speaking very slowly, choosing his words very carefully. "I'm not at liberty to promise you anything right now, Mr. Kent." he said, too upset at the younger boy to use his name. "And I want you out of the mansion, now. If you're not out of here within 10 seconds, I will call security and have them escort you off the premesis. You are not to come within 10 feet of the mansion. I will get in touch with you when I feel I am ready to talk to you again." and with that, Lex turned his back.
Clark walked sullenly to the door. Even though he knew this was going to happen, it didn't make it any easier on him. Instead of standing around and trying to talk some sense into Lex, he left, purposely slamming the doors to Lex's office a little harder than normal. If Lex noticed, he didn't say anything.
