"Dad, what are you talking about?" Clark asked rushing to Jonathon's side.
"I saw so many things. Their all mixed together in my mind it's hard to tell things apart. I saw myself as an old man; I was floating above my body. You were by my side you looked almost exactly the same. I saw your wedding too Clark. We're both going to be there Martha. We're both going to watch him grow into an extraordinary man." Jonathon said.
"I'm going to get you a glass of water." Martha said as she walked to the kitchen.
Jonathon began to get up to follow her when Clark stopped him.
"Its ok son I'm fine." Jonathon said.
"What's wrong, Martha?" Jonathon said.
"You're scaring me!" Martha yelled.
"It's nothing to worry about I feel fine."
"You told me you saw your own death, I'm sorry if that makes me a little worried. I just don't know what I'll do without you." Martha said.
"You won't have to think about that. We will be together even death can't stop that." Jonathon said as he kissed his wife.
Clark journeyed out to the barn where Kane was up in the loft.
"Kane something strange happened to my Dad do you know anything about it?" Clark asked.
"He saw things didn't he? The future, his death." Kane asked Clark.
"There is something you should know, me being here it causes ripples in time. These ripples give some people momentary glimpses into the future. Usually the memories fade with time." Kane explained.
"Will he be ok?" Clark asked.
"He should be fine." Kane said
"But Clark right now we need to concentrate on getting those plans from Luthorcorp." Kane said.
Lionel walked into Lex's office just as he was getting off the phone.
"Lex do you have any dinner plans?" Lionel asked his son.
"Why Dad are you asking me out on a date?" Lex said jokingly.
"Your wit grows dryer which each passing moment son."
"Well can't say I got my sense of humor from you Dad." Lex said
"What do you really want?" Lex asked.
"I just want dinner with my son." Lionel responded.
"What no ulterior motive?" Lex asked.
"No just me wanting to spend some time with you." Lionel said.
"It actually sounds like your being sincere. Thanks for the offer but I have to decline." Lex said.
"When did we stop trying Lex?" Lionel asked.
"You stopped trying when you locked me in that mental institution and took away 7 weeks of my life!" Lex yelled.
"That was for you own good, you were ill son."
"Enough with the lies, I've heard enough of them." Lex screamed.
"A simple no would have sufficed." Lionel said as he turned to walk out of the room.
"You know there was a time when I yearned for your admiration funny now that I could care less." Lex said.
Lionel traversed to his office at Luthorcorp since his dinner plans had been ruined. He sat his briefcase down on the desk and pulled out a disk. He put it in his disk drive on his computer and looked at the plans for his weapon. After quickly glancing over the outline for his weapon he took the disk out and opened up his vault. He placed the disk in a padded lockbox and set it down next to the green bars of meteor rocks he had been keeping. As he closed the vault door he wonder if sacrificing his son's love was worth it when trying to achieve ultimate power. Of course it was, he thought, it always is.
