A/N: Hey guys its Tasha! I'm back and Terra and me are writing the story together now. I'm sorry for the delay on the "Time Tuner" and "What Changed", but my computer felt like being evil, so what can you do? But anyway, Terra and I have been reunited and I'm helping with this story. So here's Chapter 14.

Chapter 14

Confrontation

Clark hurried to hide the key on the table; all of a sudden Lex was up in the loft.

"Hey Clark, I just came by to welcome you back home. I hope you found your real family pleasant." Lex said in a suspicious sort of tone.

"Oh yeah, they were great. They explained why my parents had to give me up in the first place and they told me that they were glad that I was safe and happy. And they were glad that I have so many great friends that watch out for me." Clark replied.

He knew wasn't exactly telling the whole truth, but he wasn't exactly lying either.

" Clark you remember when I told you that friends should be completely honest with each other? Well, I know that you're lying to me. You don't have any living family.Why don't you just tell me where you really were and we don't have to go through this charade any longer?" Lex said while walking to the window to peer outside and then turning back to face Clark.

" I don't know what you're talking about. I'm completely honest with my friends." Clark said in a secretive way that Lex picked up on instantly.

"Well then, I guess I'm not your friend then because your just sending me a bunch of crap while Pete, Chloe, and Lana cover for you. What, did you run out of lies to tell me so your friends have to make up new ones for you?" Lex said letting his anger bubble out.

"How do you know anything about that? You know what yeah, I guess I did tell my friend the truth- friends I can actually trust! All you've done is investigate me and I'm sick and tired of it. As far a I'm concerned we aren't friends anymore, if we ever were!" Clark yelled.

He wanted Lex to get away from him now. So far he had had a good day and now it was all going down the toilet thanks to this person.

"Fine if that's what you want. But I will find out what your hiding Clark." Lex said as he walked slowly down the stairs.

When Clark heard Lex's car squeal out of the driveway he couldn't have felt more relived. But now that the feeling had dissipated fear was creeping over the corners. Now that Lex knew for certain that he was hiding something he would stop at nothing to find out what it was. No matter how long it took. He slowly took out the key and examined it more closely. For some reason he hadn't noticed the symbols engraved in it before. There was some that were in the cave and the ones that were branded into that backs and forearm of his friends. Destiny. Now he knew who was going to be his worst enemy. There was nothing he could do about it.

Lex really was his father's son.
