Note: This will be a crossover with Smallville (AU somewhere in the middle of season 4 ep 1 that pretty much where I got lost)

Second note: In this world book 5 did happen but we are ignoring the fact that Sirius fell throw the veil. We are also ignoring the fact that Harry and the rest are actually 25 in the year 2005. For storyline reason they will be 17

Author note: I'm still working on this fic. This is unusual for me I usually finishes the story before I post them so sorry if it takes awhile.

p.s. I am looking for a bete for this story. If anyone up for the job send me an e-mail.

Clark

Lex is missing. Well Lex really isn't missing. Chloe knows where he is. She won't tell me. She knows. She knows I want to know. Of course, she'll never tell me. Why because I'm Clark Kent. Therefore, I'm not fit to know the whereabouts of Alexander J. Luthor. I should just go milk a cow of something. That doesn't stop me from wanting to known. We decide to establish a new friendship. Or something as close to friendship as you can get if your both aware that you are lying to each other. Things are complicated. That's not even dealing with all the messy feeling. Feelings. I so don't want to go in to feels.

My English teacher doesn't feel the same way. Write a paper on what you think love is. Five pages ,size 12, font double spaced, due next Wednesday. Love. Bullshit. What is Love? That tight sqcrimery feeling I get in my stomach that become a physically pain ever time Lex Luthor gets himself hurt. Fuck. I push myself out of my seat the fortress is small not enough space to move around. I've been cursing a lot recently. Not out loud. Never aloud, just in my head. A constant stream of four-letter word. Well some time I get creative, turn them in to eight, ten, fourteen letter words. I could run over to the mansion. That would be pointless. Lex isn't there. Even if he were there which he isn't, I wouldn't know what to say to him. There was a time, a small space of time between our first meeting and the lies when it was so easy to talk to Lex.

My parent just got in. I hear them moving around in the house, mom in the kitchen, dad in the living room. I should run to Lex's even if he's not here he will be soon. Chloe say he's flying in today. That is all she said. Right after lunch I'm walking to English class she stop me with a hand on my chest. Gives me the big 100-watt smile and says Lex's is flying in sometime today. And she walks away. Like it normal to drop a bomb like that on me when I still have three classes to go before I can run over to the mansion and sit there like some fool from one of the romances novels my mom and Chloe hide under their beds.

Chloe, when did she become closer to Lex then me. The how is easy. Chloe has no secrets. She can do stuff for Lex he can't, they are compatible. The when is where it gets tricky. It might have been towards the end of JR year before the whole FBI Chloe going into hiding thing. I think it might have been a little before that. Maybe a little after Lex got out of the asylum. Basically when things start to go south with us. I should be glad that Lex has Chloe. He needs a friend he can count on. One that won't lie to him and insult his super intelligent. And make him get that look in his eyes. The one where he wondering if all the shit is really worth the friendship of one farm boy. A car pulls into the driveway footsteps coming up the steps. I turn to find Pete and Chloe standing in my space.

"Pete … how I thought you were" I make a vague motion with my hand.

He gives me a big smile.

"God Kent I leave you alone for one month you forget the English languages"

I laugh it's nice having someone who can make jokes about the big secret. We hug our manly bear hug. Pats on the back. Chloe stands by the steps beaming. She has always had a beautiful smile more real than Lana's. I was stupid not to notice it before.

"What are you doing here Pete?"

He shrug, "School is basically over mostly practice for graduation. I missed fight evil, dodging monsters and all that Smallville fun. So I drove in to stay with my dad till graduation."

I hug him again.

He laughs, "Back of Kent I've only got eyes for out lovely lady Chloe"

Chloe laughs and pulls us down on to the sofa. The three of us use to be able to cuddle up on the sofa with room to spear. Time changes things. We sit, Chloe as always in the middle.

"So Pete are you going to MU with me and Chloe. I mean did you get the scholarship. Last time I asked you where still waiting to here back form the school. It been six weeks you should know by now."

Chloe glares at Pete

"Pete Ross don't tell me you haven't told him?"

Pete try's to look innocent

"Told me what"

Chloe smacks Pete "I'll tell you. Since Pete seems to have taken a stupid pill some time ago and the affect have yet to wear off. Pete is going to MU or more than likely Gotham University on a Lexcorp scholarship. It covers him for college and law school. If he wants to change colleges the scholarship goes with him"

"Wait Lex gave you a scholarship and you're taking it"

He nods

"What about the evil of Luthors destroying the world angle"

He shrugs "Lex isn't so bad once you get to know him"

"Since when do you know Lex?"

Chloe jumps out her seat face red with anger" Pete I can't believe you haven't told Clark anything all year. What the hell do you talk to him about?"

Pete rolls his eyes "football, cars, girls, baseball…" Chloe raise a hand to shut him up

"Tell me what?"

Pete keeping secrets from me he never kept anything from me. We where best friends since legos and eating play dough. Pete looked guilty.

"Dude it's nothing really. I just did an internship at Lexcorp for an AP class. I got to know Lex a little"

I try to keep the shocked look off my face. I could set him on fire. I don't think my mom wouldn't clean the sofa. I could always take him out side and hide his ashes in the feeding stall. Chloe cut in to my murderous thoughts.

"You should be happy Clark. I mean Pete and Lex get along really well now"

Yeah for them. Everybody gets along really well with Lex now. Even my dad doesn't mind Lex anymore. Of course my relationship with Lex is slowly burning down to nothing. I'm pouting. I can't help it everyone is stealing my best friend. Pete reach out a hand to pat my shoulder.

"Relax Clark, Lex like you way more than me"

I sniffle great now I'm going to start crying pathetic big bisexual alien boy. "It sucks when you in love with your best friend."

Pete jumped "You're in love with Lex"

Shittttt "I said that out loud?"

Chloe beams "That answers everything!"
