Oh my gosh! This is the last chapter! I want to cry! Thank you for all of those of you who reviewed! Thank you for those who read! Thank you in general! I loved writing this story and have gotten a lot of sequel already written but I am not sure when I will post it. It will probably depend on how many requests I get for it to be posted! The more I get the sooner I will post it! Thanks again!

Chapter 21: Hidden (A/N: I tried to stick with SV tradition of one name titles and use ones that haven't used, I wrote this before the episode 'Hidden' and couldn't come up with another title that hadn't already been used.)

3 years later….

Nicole James sat in a coffee shop named "The Talon" in the quant little town of Smallville, Kansas, when there was a burst of cheers through the door. She heard many 'congratulations!' and 'We are very happy for you..' sayings before she saw who they were talked to. Then the owner of the Talon, Lana Lang, asked for everyone's attention.

"I would like to congratulate my good friend, Clark Kent and Lois Lane on their engagement! And all I can say is, finally!" She stated. Everyone in the room cheered, even Nicole, who had no clue who these people were. Then she paid for her latte and left.

"Juliet Amelia Davis

June 7th 187- June 2nd 2006

Beloved and Never Forgotten"

Nicole read.

"Who are you?" A man's voice said from behind her.

"Now that's a loaded question." Nicole said. She took off her sunglasses and turned around. The man looked at her strangely.

"Jules?" He whispered almost terrified.

"Back from the dead." She said smiling.

"But… but you died! I was there! How can this be happening? Wait, where is your accent?" Clark said.

"Had to learn to speak with out it, witness protection sometimes makes you do those kinds of things." I told him, revealing my old British accent as I spoke.

"Witness protection? What?" He asked confused.

"I was being hunted…" I began, telling him about my father and the Stiff's.

"Larson found out about the shooting. When he was told I would be okay, he ordered the doctors to put me under heavy sedation, incase people wanted to see me. Then he paid them to tell everyone I was dead. So I was put under private care until I healed. Then, I became Nicole James. Now, all of the Stiff's are in jail, and I am free…" I said

Clark stood there for a moment, just staring at me.

"It's really you." He whispered.

"Yeah, it really is." I said with tears in my eyes. Clark embraced me tightly.

"I've wished for this every day for three years." Clark told me.

"Me too, but Clark, we can't do this." I said crying. "You engaged now."

Clark just stared at me with a blank expression.

"How did you know?" He asked

"I read the newspaper, " Then I hesitated before I told him the rest. "I have also seen some amazing but curious saves in Metropolis lately.." I whispered.

He looked at me frightened.

"Don't worry, I would rather die then betray, remember?" I said. He looked relieved.

"I'm sorry we can't be together, but there will always be a part of me that belongs with you." Clark told me, his eyes tearing up.

"Don't be sorry, I am happy you moved on, and a part of me will always belong with you as well." I said truthfully.

"I am just so confused!" Clark said. I laughed.

"That's understandable, when I told Chloe and Lana, they didn't talk forever, you know how rare that is." I said.

"Not about you being back, just about my feelings for you, still." He told me

"Don't be, because if we were meant to be together then you wouldn't be engaged right now. Clark we had an amazing year together, filled with love and laughter and of course a little more drama then I would have picked. But it was the best year of my life! But I have been gone for three years and now, we don't belong together. Because I can't just go back to being Juliet Davis, she is dead." I paused, collecting my thoughts and pushing back the tears. "I'm Nicole James now… and I guess forever." I reached up and kissed Clark's cheek.

"Goodbye Clark." I whispered, this time he heard it. Then I started to walk away.

"Wait!" He yelled after me. I turned as he walked over. "How did you know that I saved all those people?" He asked. I smiled at him.

"Because, I have only ever seen one man fly."

The End!
