"Clark?" Lois turns her head to gaze upon Clark, her eyes narrowed. "Why did she call you Clark?" He chuckles nervously, and looks around for an escape route. Chloe and Lois both stand there looking at him, Chloe looking quite irate, while Lois looked confused and suspicious; Clark looked… like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming tractor trailer. In fact he was caught in the headlights of 2 tractor trailers, one named Lois one named Chloe, and like any deer he knew he should move, but just couldn't get himself to, at that moment he found the floor to be quite intriguing so he kept his gaze there.
"Kal…" Lois's voice was soft and angelic, causing Clark to look up, but what he saw was quite contrary to the voice, her face showed anger. He slowly stepped backwards. "Kal… why did Chloe call you Clark?" She asked while stepping forward, and he opened his mouth but before he could speak Chloe jumped in. "Because, that's his name, Clark Joseph Kent." She looked right at him, then her brow furrowed, "And why are you calling him Kal?" Lois looked at her cousin then back at Clark, "Because that's what he said was his name." She puts her hands on her hips and looked directly into Clark's eyes, making him feel like a little, little man.
He took another step back, only to find himself against the wall, his eyes opened incredibly wide as he knew his end was near. He watched as the cousins slowly began to implement a flanking maneuver, Chloe from the right and Lois from the left, both had strange looks in their eyes, looks that Clark did not want to find out what they meant. He looked straight ahead of him and tried to make a break for it, but they caught his arms, and he whimpered sadly. Had they been anyone else, he wouldn't of hesitated to throw them far, far away from him, but they were his best friend and his girlfriend, he dropped his shoulders and head in defeat and sat down on the couch. And there he sat, awaiting his fate.
But they didn't say anything, he worked up the courage to slowly look up and found their gazes locked on him, he quickly brought his view back to the floor in front of him. They stayed that way until Clark couldn't take it anymore. "Alright! Alright…" Lois quirked and eyebrow at him, "Alright, what?" He sighed, "My name is Clark…" Lois closed her eyes and shook her head, and looked at him with anger in her eyes. "You lied to me!" Her voice raised and she was about to continue but Clark cut her off. "But, my name is also Kal." Chloe and Lois looked at him strangely, he sighed and looked at Lois. "Lois, remember when I told you about where I came from?" She nodded slightly, "Well, my real name is Kal. But my adopted parents named me Clark…"
Chloe chimed in, "Wait, now you're calling them your adopted parents? They are your parents Clark, you've never even met your real parents." It was Lois's turn, "Yes he did, he met his father, he was in the ship…" She quickly covered her mouth to prevent anything else from spewing forth. Chloe's eyebrows shot to her hairline, "Ship? What ship?" Clark's eyes opened wide and he stumbled over his own tongue to find the right words, "Um, ship? She didn't say ship she said…" He looks around trying to find something to fit in but he meets Chloe's gaze and he knew she wasn't buying it.
Clark mumbled under his breath, "Man… two in the span of a few months… they're gonna kill me…"
