Sorry to keep you guys waiting so long.

SonicH2O – Lex doesn't like Lana in this fic. He is too evil and I hate any form of lexana so I wouldn't put it in here. Also Clark's powers (especially his healing) are slowly coming back since there is no more kyrptonite exposure.

Lex sat in the booth silently pondering what to do. He heard someone's shoes clacking towards the entrance. The door opened and it was Lana. She didn't see Lex, due to the shadow masking him and the fact that the lights were off. Lana started to mumble to herself. Lex perked up his head to see if he could hear.

"I could have sworn I locked this place up." She said perplexed.

She made her was to the expresso machine and brought a cup to it. Once Lana was done putting the finishing touches on it, she walked over to the table to grab some sugar. She was in a rush to get to the station so she decided to get Mr. and Mrs. Kent's coffee later. She made her way to the door.

"Hey not so fast! Taking advantage of management I see?" Came a confident voice.

Lana dropped the coffee, causing it to spread everywhere. She didn't even feel the burning sensation from the hot beverage on her arm. She was terrified. 'If Lex is capable of shooting his best friend, than he could kill me with out hesitation.' She thought.

"Lex…" She managed to say.

"Lana. I assume you told no one about our little secret?"

"Don't think I am afraid of you Lex. You are a monster." She said convincing herself not to be scared.

"If you knew the first thing about Clark, you wouldn't be this angry…trust me." Lex said.

"I know Clark and I know that no one deserves to be hurt like that…especially by their best friend. We are just lucky he is okay." Lana said, instantly regretting it. She was hoping that Lex wouldn't 'finish the job'.

His eyes widened, surprise overcoming him.

"He's…he's alive…" He trailed off. He continued. "Well no one can know about what happened. Lana if you know what's best for you, you would keep your mouth shut." He said, his face flushed with anger and hands balling up into fists. Lana was scared and immediately ran to exit. Lex jogged to her and grabbed her by the arm.

"And where do you think you are going now?"

"Let go of me!" she screamed.

Lex put a hand on her mouth and threw her against the stair railing, where she was knocked out.

He walked up to her and smirked.

"You didn't think that those 5 minute karate lessons would help you in a situation like this did you?"

Lex walked to the door and locked it.

"This is going to be a very…interesting night." He said.

At the Smallville Police Station

Officer Watkins sat at his desk, in a pensive state.

"Are you ok? You've seemed out of it ever since you've taken that Kent case." Detective Ortega said.

"Miss. Lang was expected here half an hour ago. She has been through a lot, but I need to be somewhere soon."

"Why don't you go find her."

"Yea you 're right. She said she would be at The Talon. I'll just go there."

He grabbed his coat and was about to head out when his friend called out.

"Watkins?" Detective Ortega said.

"Yea?" He said, anxious to see if she was finally going to make a move on him.

"Get me a cappuccino." She said, smiling slyly and walking away.

He laughed to himself and exited. He got in his car and drove a couple of blocks to The Talon. He parked behind a blazing red Ferrari. Watkins attempted to open it, but it was locked. He figured Lana had left to the hospital so he decided to go back to the station and wait. As he was opening the car door, he heard a muffled scream. Watkins instincts kicked in. He knew something was wrong. He ran to the back where he would make a surprise entrance.

Meanwhile at the hospital

Clark was in his room with his parents talking, when Dr Bryce came in. They all turned and smiled.

"Well I have some great news for you guys!" She announced, enthused.

"Clark has recovered his ability to heal due to the results of the blood test. Also can't take in needles anymore. All his powers should be back in no time."

Mr. and Mrs. Kent hugged happily.

"Things are almost normal." Mrs. Kent said.

"As normal as they can get." Clark added.

Back at The Talon

Lex was holding his hand to Lana's mouth.

"Keep quiet, someone is here." He said after giving Lana a slap.

Officer Watkins held his gun up and found an entrance that lead to the back parking lot. Lucky for him it wasn't locked. He prepared himself to enter.
