Lana awoke with a start had she been dreaming? If she had she went to bed quickly because she was still wearing the same clothes she had on the day before. She stretched and got up after grabbing a little bite to eat she headed over to the Kents she had to make sure of something. When she arrived she could see Mrs. Kent in the kitchen window and waived. Martha waived back indicating Clark was up in the loft. So Lana made her way slowly up the stairs Clark appeared not to hear her, or so she thought until he spoke.
"Hi Lana I wasn't sure when I would see you after yesterday"
"Why wouldn't I come around Clark?"
"I thought for sure Lex would talk you out of it"
"Talk me out of what?"
"Us"
"He could never do that Clark not especially since I know the real Clark Kent"
"And?"
"And what?"
"Do you like what you see?"
"Absolutely"
She walked over to him and slid her arms around his neck and kissed him. Slowly at first unsure of what his reaction would be. When he didn't back off she deepened the kiss.
"Well it seems you two don't waste anytime now do you?"
"Lex? What are you doing here?"
"I came to thank you for your help but clearly someone has beaten me to it"
"Clark I'm going to go I'll call you later"
"Well Clark it seems the roles are reversed"
"Don't even try it Lex"
"Try what exactly?"
"You know what Lex, don't try and blame this on me"
"On the contrary Clark I'm going to congratulate you"
"Congratulate me?"
"Sure on feeding Lana another bunch of lies to get her to leave me"
"Lex you know I would love to take credit but she did that all by herself, and besides I didn't steal her from you, you lost her all by yourself"
"You know one of these days she's going to see through you again and when she does I'll make sure I'm around to pick up the pieces"
After his conversation with Lex Clark had, had a hard time sleeping so he decided to sit in the loft and clear his head. He loved Lana but he also knew Lex this terrified him. He was suddenly brought out of his thoughts by approaching footsteps.
"Hi Clark"
"Lana hey, what are you doing here?"
"I couldn't sleep so I came over hoping you would be out here"
"Well I'm glad you came"
Lana sat in his lap gazing into his eyes. She could see his love for you her as clear as day in them. She knew there were a lot of things they needed to discuss, but she wanted those things to wait, leaning in she kissed him before settling in his arms.
"Clark?"
"Yes Lana?"
"I know there's a lot to talk about and I know I want to wait to do it, but there's something I need to know"
"What's that?"
"The night we were together for the first time how were we able to?"
"I had temporarily lost my powers"
"And you got them back when?"
"After I got shot"
"That was scary"
"I'm so sorry"
"For what?"
"Scaring you"
"It wasn't your fault, you're here now and that's all that matters"
"Lana?"
"Yes Clark?"
What's your dream?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean when you think about how you want your life to be years from now what do you think about?"
"Us, I think about our life together being together forever"
"Lana?"
"Yes?"
"I love you"
"I Love you too Clark"
"What's your dream?"
"Other than what you just said, I see myself doing something worthwhile, you know something to help other people"
"Somehow that's what I see you doing too Clark"
"You know all I hope for is you by my side, with that being said I think we do need to go a little slower you know establish things better"
"I think that's a good idea we rushed into everything before and nearly lost each other I don't want that to happen again, I love you to much to go through it again"
"And you'll never have to"
"So…what did Lex say?"
"He was upset blamed me and said that you would leave again and that he would be there to pick up the pieces"
"Clark I will NEVER leave your side again you need to believe that"
"Lana I do believe that, I truly do"
"I love you Clark"
"I Love you too Lana always and forever"
