Chapter 15
Changes
Clark walked slowly bank to the house. So many things had changed in the last few months. He had gotten a better understanding of his biological parents. His friends all know his secret. High school had ended and collage was about begin. But not all of the changes were not for the better. Now he and Lex were on the opposite sides of the tracks, neither on trusted the other.
As he walked into the house he saw his parents at the kitchen table. They had a look of total clam on their faces- happiness. That was a look that had been missing from the family for quite some time. When Clark had a closer look he saw the reason an amulet was lying on the table. He could only guess that they had heard from the real Jor-El since his father looked especially relived. But the expression on his face was wasn't one of peace. When his parents saw his solemn expression their looks of happiness disappeared.
" Cark, honey, what's wrong?" Martha asked.
" I just saw Lex." Clark replied.
"What did he want?" Jonathan asked slightly agitated.
" He wanted answers," Clark said "he confronted me about why I disappeared this summer. Some how he came to the conclusion that everyone else know, and when he didn't get the answer that he wanted he went off. I'm sure now more than ever that I can't trust him. When he looked at his father he saw that look that said, "I told you so." Clark couldn't believe that after all the times that he had given Lex another chance and how many times that he had asked for one that they had finally run out.
Lex stormed into the mansion. The friendship with Clark Kent that was at one time cherished was now no longer of value. As many times as he had helped Clark he thought that he could have gained his trust and learned is secret; but instead he had told everyone else in his life the truth except him. Clark was more like his father than he had ever wanted to believe, he had never fully trusted him. Now Clark had a reason to be wary of him; he was going to find out Clark's secret, no mater what it would take. When Lex looked at his desk he noticed that his phone had revived a message. When he checked it he hear a man's voice,
' This is Trask, " the man said, " I'll give you what you want, if you give me my funding."
