Clark was struggling to keep awake when he realized that the vault itself was made out of lead. He used his remaining heat vision to cut a piece from the ceiling. It fell between him and the kryptonite blocking the harmful radiation. He felt his strength return to him as he punched the vault opened. Clark looked down out the window to see Lex's car. He saw Kane being loaded into one of the cars behind it. Clark wanted to leave Kane to his fate but began to grow reluctant to that idea.

A few hours later Dr. Ridley was performing DNA tests on his new subject.

"Are you making any progress Dr?" Lex asked.

"It's incredible Mr. Luthor he has twice the amount of base pairs in his DNA as normal people do."

"What are you saying?"

"I've found some signs of genetic tampering. My findings conclude that his DNA was altered by the meteor rocks."

"But why was he after my father?" Lex wondered.

"It might have been because of this. It was the only item I found on him." Dr. Ridley said as he handed Lex a Luthorcorp disk.

Clark peered into the lab and noticed a canister of a highly flammable substance. He didn't want to hurt Lex but he had to save Kane. He shot the canister with his heat vision and it exploded.

The blast knocked Lex and the Doctor to the ground. This gave Clark just enough time to rescue Kane.

"Where's the disk?" Lex yelled.

Clark held Kane in his arms as he ran back to his house.

"Clark I'm sorry I knew you would figure out how to get out though." Kane said as they reached the Kent's barn.

"I wish you would tell me more about the future." Clark said.

"It's happening Clark. Bye Dad." Kane said as he began to shake and a bright light surrounded him.

"NO!" Clark yelled as he jumped in to save him.

FLASH

"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Clark Kent. You may now kiss the bride." Clark saw as the image began to fade into another.

FLASH

"Clark it's hard to believe we threw away our friendship over one girl." Lex said.

"You're the one that threw it away Lex." Clark yelled back.

"A long time ago I came to the disturbing conclusion that the only way to destroy my father was to become him. I needed to you to bring me back from that."

"You became your father long before you made that decision Lex."

FLASH

Clark was back in his barn and Kane was nowhere in sight. Lois walked into the barn.

"Hey Smallville."

"Lois you're back."

"Can you sound a little more enthused?"

"Sorry it's been a long day." Clark said.

"Your parents wanted me to tell you that dinner is ready."

"Oh thanks." Clark said as he began to walk towards the house.

"You coming?" He yelled back to Lois.

"In just a minute." She screamed back as she picked up a necklace off the ground. The initials on it were L.L. Lois put it on and walked toward the house.

The Next Day

Clark walked into Lex's office.

"Clark it's good to see you what brings you here?"

"I just wanted to see how you were we don't get to talk that much anymore."

"Yeah it has been sort of a crazy week." Lex said.

"For me too."

"Well I hate to cut this short but I have a meeting in a few minutes. I need to prepare." Lex said.

"Oh of course." Clark said as he left.

Lex turned on his computer and loaded in a disk. He began looking over the plans for the new weapon he would soon build.
