Clark Kent was standing in the window of his loft. ' My fortress of solitude' . That is what his father called it when he bulit it for him. This was the one place he could come to reflect on the days events, as well as what has been happening in his life.
He had come to the conclusion he was going to spend his life alone. Sure he would have friends, people in his life who he could spend time with. But he would never have that certian someone, who with just a look, would know you were having a bad day. The person you could come home from work too and tell them how your day was, and ask about thiers.
He had that someone, just last year. Lana Lang was that and so much more to him. He knew she was the love of his life. The one true love you only find once in a life time. She felt the same way about him, he knew she did. He could see it in her eyes when they would talk, even with her having a new boyfriend.
Damn his secret, it was that and that alone that was keeping them apart. He knew he couldn't tell her, oh but he wanted to so bad. He wanted to completely unburden his soul to her, tell her everything she wanted to know. The fact he came from another planet, that he had these super powers. Heck he could even fly, if he could ever get over being scared of hieghts.
Who he was stopped him from being with Lana. It was just too dangerous for her to know. Someone might find out his secret and then use her to get to him. He couldn't live with himself if something ever happened to her because of him. That along with his trip to Metropolis last year convinced him of it.
Maybe if he explained to her about himself, just a little not all of it, it would help her understand. Then maybe they might be able to at least get some kind of friendship back. Right now there is alot of tension in the air, when ever they are around eachother. He hates the doubt in her eyes when they talk, doubt as to if he loves her.He was so wrapped up in his thoughts he failed to hear the foot steps coming up the stairs.
Lana was standing there at the entrance to the loft watching Clark Kent stare out the window. 'Why does life have to be so unfair' She thinks to herself. She know beyond a shadow of a doubt she is still in love with Clark, even with Jason around. It just seems like every time they try to figure things out some thing comes between them.
Clark Kent, the man the teenager, who was he really. Lana knew he had secrets, everyone does, but his runs deep than most. It is those secrets that has driven them apart, she knows it in the depths of her heart. She just wishes there was a way for her to convince him that no matter what they were, it wouldn't matter to her. She suspects he has gained some powers because of the metor rocks, but he is afraid she won't understand. How could she hold it against him if he had been infected. She can hardly count the number of times he has saved her, or Chole's life. If he was it is ovious that he isn't a bad one, one who was going to hurt her, at least not like the others did.
She has to find a way to make him see. He can trust her, he can confied in her, she would never turn her back on him or hate him. He has helped her in so many ways, from saving her life to just being the one constant good thing in her life. He means so much to her, and she can see he feels the same about her. The one thing Clark Kent could never do was hide his feelings for her. She decides it is time to figure this all out, she can't live like this anymore she has to know.
"Clark."
"Lana, hi um, what are you doing here?" He asks, oviously shocked that he didn't hear her.
"Well i came to talk to you. I have to ask you something, and this time i need a strait answer." She says
"Ok Lana if i can answer it i will." Clark tells her.
She slowly turns around and shows him her lower back. the tattoo is clear for everyone to see.
"I got this in Paris while i was there, i touched the symbol on a bronze likeness of a lady in a church. Then everything went blank and i don't remember ever getting home. All i remember is Jason beating on my door the next day waking me up. I know that this symbol is on the cave walls, and since you know more about those caves than anyone esle i know. I was thinking maybe you could tell me what it means." She asks him shyly.
'This could be your chance Clark' he thinks to himself.
"Why would you assume i would know anything about it. Yes i do know a few things about them but not everything, not yet anyways."
"But you would tell me if you did right?" Lana asks.
"Lana you know the answer to that question is hard to say. What you want to know i can't tell you. Do you think this is easy for me, keeping things from you. It isn't i would love to sit you down and tell you everything, but..." He stops mid sentence.
"But... what Clark." Lana asks him.
"But i can't take the risk of you getting hurt. I would never be able to live with myself if something happened to you and it was my fault. So i have to keep thing to myself." Clark tells her.
"You mean the fact that you have been given speical powers because of the metor rocks? Come on Clark i have thought that for a long time now, ever since Van Nolte. Let me in Clark i am perrty tough i can take it." Lana tells him hoping to shake something anything out of him.
"Lana i told you before, i'm not affected by the metor rocks." 'At least not in that way' Clark thinks to himself.
"Come on Clark i know something is right in what i am saying, i'm sorry but there has to be some truth in what i have said. To many unexplained events have happened with you around. All the times you have saved my life, and that of your other friends as well. Clark, i could care less if you were or not, to me you would still be the same guy i'm in lov..." She stops as soon as she hears what she is saying. She didn't mean to say that out loud.
