Later that night, Amy quietly sneaks up the stairs. As she gets up to the upstairs hallway, she notices a door to the side left slightly open. She takes it as Clark's room and quietly makes her way into his room and shuts the door behind her. There Clark is, asleep, facing the wall. She smiles to herself and climbs into the bed, putting her arms around him.
This wakes Clark up, but he doesn't mind. He closes his eyes again and enjoys Lana's touch. Clark's eyes shoot open.
Wait, That isn't Lana. It couldn't be Lana.
Clark quickly turns over and backs away, almost falling out of the bed.
"Amy? What are you doing… up here?" He whispers.
She smiles apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you like that. I thought you wanted me to join you."
Clark looks confused. "What could make you think that?"
"Oh come on, Clark." She smiles again, much like when she climbed in with him. "I got your message. I was quite surprised, as I didn't think you were interested in me that way. But, it's what I've been waiting for ever since I first met you in Miami." Amy tells him and moves in to kiss him. Clark is too stunned to move and her lips meet his. The kiss feels perfect to Amy. She's been through so many guys since high school, but none have made her feel the way Clark makes her feel. Clark is just the guy that she needs.
The kiss feels much more complicated for Clark.
This girl is perfect, Clark. Don't stop and push her away like every other girl.
Clark, there is a million different reasons why you shouldn't do this!
Don't listen, Clark! Amy is what you want.
What about your feelings for Lana? What about Lois, do you really want to hurt her?
Suddenly, kissing Amy is not what he should be doing. "Amy, stop."
Now, she feels confused. "What, why?" She asks.
"What message did I give you?" Clark asks her.
Amy leads Clark outside and to the other side of the barn.
"I was trying to get comfortable on your couch when I saw this flash of light. It looked like a flash of headlights or something. So, I came outside to see what it was and I saw this." She tells him and points to the ground.
There, burnt into the ground is a large diamond-shaped "S" with a heart inside the bottom of the S. Written inside the heart is "Kal-El & Amy-El".
"Don't ask me what the "S" or the "El" means, but I got the rest of it. I knew the only person who could have done was you. So what is Kal-El, nickname or something?" She asks.
"More like a name I just can not escape. I don't know who did this Amy, but it wasn't me." Clark tells her.
"Who would do this? Burning messages into a field?" Amy asks, more like a statement, than a question.
Someone that can't stand the fact that I make my own destiny, not him and his useless threats.
"I don't know, but I'm not going to miss sleep over it. Come on, let's get back inside." Clark says and they walk back towards the house.
Clark wakes up again. This time, from a blinding light filling his bedroom. He gets out of bed and makes his way to the window, but it's no use. The light is just too bright. Clark superspeeds out of the house and stops in front of the barn. The light seems to be coming from where the symbols were burnt into the ground.
As he gets around the barn, Clark sees that the light is being projected from the symbols. Clark gets closer and sticks his hand out to touch the rays of light. As soon as he does, the light goes out and a cloud of smoke comes out of the darkness.
Clark jumps as a booming voice fills the air. "Kal-El my son, I have waited long enough. It is time you listened to me and given in to your destiny."
"I've told you! I am not following your plans for my destiny!" Clark yells at the cloud.
"Kal-El, I am your father. You will do as I say."
"You are not my father! You never have been, and you never will be!" Clark tells him.
The cloud fills with a screen and a large bluish-green sphere revolves. "Have it your way." About three dozen balls of fire pelt the sphere until it explodes. "If you continue on your path of disobeying me, everyone you love will die and this planet you love so much will reach it's Armageddon." A hologram image of his parents, Lana, Lois, all of his friends appear and fade away. The cloud disappears and leaves Clark alone in the middle of the field.
Clark sits up suddenly in his bed and beads of sweat drip down from his forehead. Sunlight pours through the window and the clock reads 9:42 A.M. Jonathon and Martha rush into the room followed distantly by Amy.
"Clark, what is it? We were having coffee downstairs, and all the sudden we hear you screaming about some "destiny"." Jonathon says.
"I don't know, just had this dream. Sorry if I scared you." Clark apologizes and wipes the sweat off his forehead.
"Oh, it must have been a nightmare. You want to talk about it?" Martha asks her son.
"Yeah, I guess it was. No, I'll be alright mom."
She sighs. At least she tried. "Ok, we'll be downstairs." Martha says and walks out with Jonathon.
Amy sits down beside Clark. "You sure your ok? Was it about the symbol?" She asks.
Clark turns to her. "No, it wasn't about that at all." He lies. "I'll be fine, thanks."
She smiles and briefly grazes Clark's hand with her own. "Ok, I'll be downstairs too." She says and walks out.
If only things were as easy as just a nightmare. Instead, I have to interpret crazy dreams and voices to save the lives of my friends and this planet.
