Chapter 1: Not So Warm Reunion

The cool moist air promising rain swept through the open window and across his face. It was all he had to keep him awake. He glanced to his right, her golden blonde head dropping and rising as she herself fought the urge to sleep. He smirked.

Chloe Sullivan. Clark Kent's best friend most loyal and most complicated. This…. This was her idea. He turned back to the road, the black wide open road before him, deserted as the plains that surrounded him.

Road Trip.

"Can you believe it?" she breathed eyes misty as she sat at the table. "My god, Clark…it's been two years!" Chloe was bursting with emotion in her eyes.

She placed her purse on the small table. She had grown her blonde hair a bit, a lot more confident then she had been in High School.

Clark chuckled, checking his wrist watch. A lot had changed since Smallville High. A lot. Clark watched Chloe, who's sparkled knowingly. She had taken her journalistic talents to New York rather then Metropolis.

Territory marked by Lois two years ago.

And now Clark.

Chloe reached over and swept Clark's glasses right of his face. His eyes widened and he flushed. "Hey!"

She beamed as she examined them. "Now that's the Clark I remember." She breathed. Clark rolled his eyes.

"What brings you in town Chloe?" he asked, sipping his coffee. She shrugged and gave him his glasses again.

"A lot. I miss you, all of you. Lo, Lana, you…. It's a bit lonely in the Big Apple, so far from home." She sighed softly then smirked, that mischievous smirk that said she had a plan. Not a good one but a plan none the less. Clark frowned, despite the warmth that smirk offered.

It was… reminiscent of his adolescence, of a simpler time before the weight of the world rested on his shoulders. He was still battling with his place in this world. After two years of helping his mother recover after his father's death, he applied at Metropolis University and got accept on an academic partial scholarship.

The rest was sponsored by Lex Corp, thanks to an old friend. And for everything else, he had a small paper pushing job at the Daily Planet thanks to Chloe and Lois.

Things were busy for the young man.

"What do you have in mind?"

Chloe rolled her eyes. "Not yet. We have to wait for the other two." She said with a slight shrug. Clark blinked and sat back.

"Other two? Who-"

"Hey Smallville." Came a greeting he had come far too familiar with now.

Lois Lane waltzed over to a chair, long slender legs visible form her black skirt. She wore an open lilac blouse with a black top under. Not exactly professional but that was Lois. "Sorry I was late, had an exclusive interview to wrap up with some Barry Allen guy." Shrug.

Chloe and Lois embraced each other warmly. Clark rolled his eyes. "Did you have to invite her?"

Lois scoffed. "Happy to see you to!" she bantered as she took a seat. "If it were up to me, I would never see you again but seeing as that I have to take care of your sorry ass for Chlo's sake…" she trailed off.

Clark felt it more then anything… her presence, her arrival. You'd think he'd out grow such a feeling of overwhelming …nausea.

But Lana brought out the worst and bets in him every time he laid eyes on her. Her elegant body made its way toward them. Chloe and her ran to each other, high school girls again as they embraced each other. Lois rolled her eyes and offered a rather weak smile.

Which surprised Clark but he didn't have time to dwell on it as Lana turned toward him. "Hey Clark…" she greeted awkwardly. She looked away quickly as she sat across from him.

Lois, whose hair was pulled back in a loosely gathered bun, cleared her throat. "SO what's on the menu?"

Clark found himself… too close to the sun when Lana was near. It overwhelmed and intoxicated him, the simple ideal of her. She was lovelier then ever, a melancholic rose, with doe eyes glistening as they avoided his own. She wore a dark violet blouse under a denim blazer and jeans.

Clark himself was freed from denim and flannel. Now it was button-downs, khakis and ties. He was completely beside himself.

The four got passed the awkward entrance and fell easily into casual conversation. It was suddenly like old times and yet… never had the very four of them been together all at once without some grave peril threatening their lives. So this meeting was a bit enlightening.

Lois didn't seem capable of talking directly to Lana or vise versa, which confused Clark. Clark was unable to look at Lana a first but easily began to talk to her… and only her. Lois and Chloe felt like nothing had changed.

Clark was still twirled around Lana's little finger.

Sigh.
