An: Sorry about the long wait to update! I've been excessively busy and have had about 15 mins to write a day if that! Anyhow thanks for the reviews! I will update again soon!

Lois exited the Talon into the sunshine and observed all of the construction going on around her. 'Man this town got back on its feet fast' she thought. She looked across the street and saw the Kent's in what appeared to be a heavy discussion.

"Clark why didn't you tell us about this library?" Jonathan asked.

"I was going to dad its just that we haven't had time recently. You guys have been attacked three times in the last few days by Jason, the alien and now that guy yesterday. Besides what's the big deal? Jor-el said he was gone."

"The big deal is that Jor-el lies son. I'm just worried that he'll try something again someday."

"Well that's a risk I'm going to have to take because this place can give me all the answers you couldn't!" Jonathan looked hurt for a moment and then shrugged it off.

"Look Clark I'm just asking you to be careful when you go back there ok?"

"Ok dad." Lois approached the men, Martha quickly poked Jonathan in the back to shut him up.

"Hi Kent family! What's the big discussion about?"

"Oh uh... I bought the wrong kind of nails." Clark smiled. Jonathan quickly nodded.

"Oh-kay..." Lois said suspiciously.

"Well come on you kids. We've got some more work to do." Jonathan said as he kissed Martha who went back to the Talon.

"Door!" shouted Lois. Clark held the door open for her and shoved her into the middle of the truck. "Thats not what I meant Clark."

"I know" he smiled brightly at her and then climbed in next to her. As the truck drove off Clark looked out the window to survey all the damage, and while there was a ton to look at Lois found herself staring at Clark.

The rest of the week was pretty uneventful. The Kent's were busy distracting Lois with crappy jobs so that she wouldn't catch onto Clark rebuilding the house with his abilities. Clark's ability to fly came as a big shock to Jonathan and Martha but they found it very useful when they were putting the roof back on. After a week and a half of dawn-dusk work, the house was finished.

"Well great job you guys." Jonathan smiled at the bright yellow farmhouse.

"Board for board, exactly the same." said Clark.

"Well almost son." Jonathan smiled.

"Almost?" asked Lois.

"Well Lois, I built you your own room. Since you are going to be staying with us right?"

"You did?" Lois and Clark shouted at the same time.

"Mr. Kent thank you so much!"

"It's the least we can do Lois. You've been a real help out here." Jonathan smiled at her. He was especially glad how much meteor rock she had piled by the road. He didn't need Clark doing chores out in the fields to suddenly be laid out on his back by some kryptonite. From now on the east field was a no zone for Clark. "Well come on honey. Lets go home!" Jonathan smiled at his wife.

"I haven't heard a better suggestion out of you in years." she teased. The two Kent's smiled at each other and went in the house, leaving Lois and Clark outside alone.

"So..." started Clark

"So..."

"No more couch. Thats good news."

"For you maybe farmboy. Now I'll have to find a new way to annoy you." Lois said as she punched his arm.

"Like you haven't done that enough the past week?" Clark asked incredulously. It was true. Lois had been going out of her way to get under Clark's skin the past week. She had taken it to a whole new level. It was mostly due to her conversation with Chloe about how she really felt about Clark. Lois was still not ready to admit it but she definitely was starting to have feelings for Clark and so she did stuff to constantly keep his attention on her. Even if it was in a negative way. Clark had also notice her staring at him in a strange way a few times during the week.

"Are you sure you're feeling okay Lois?"

"Never better Clarkie. Now come on, lets go check out our handiwork."

The next day Clark went to the Talon to hang out and help his mom with some heavy lifting. After working for a little while he sat down with a cup of coffee at a table and relaxed. SLAM! Suddenly there was a body in the chair across from him.

"Hey Clark!" It was Chloe.

"Hi Chloe... Whats with the appearing out of nowhere?"

"Well you know you did it to me so many times I just thought I do you the favor. You seemed to be off in space."

"I'm just tired Chloe." The bell on the door rang and Lana crutched in. She saw Chloe and Clark and hurried past them.

"Hey Chloe. Clark." She said Clark's name cold and then headed up the stairs to her apartment.

"What is the deal with that Clark?"

"Same old thing with Lana." Clark sighed "She's mad that I didn't save her from Lionel."

"But she doesn't know your secret does she?"

"No but I'm almost always there in the past. Lex told me that the ransom note mentioned me. I think Lionel knew about me."

"Thats not good Clark. Do you think Lex knows?"

"No. I don't think so. Usually I can tell when he's hiding something from me. I don't think Lionel told him before he killed himself."

"Yeah that was weird to me. I just didn't see Lionel Luthor killing himself."

"No I really didn't either but life is unexpected like that."

"Very true Clark. When did you turn into some wise old sage."

"When I became curator of my own library." Chloe just looked at Clark like he was crazy. "Anyhow I should be going now. My dad gave me a list of chores to do." Clark got up.

"Ok Clark. See you later."
