Chapter 2
Clark was whistling to himself as he was piling hay into stacks in the barn. He was trying not to think about Lana and Pete, but their smiling images kept appearing in his head.
Lois ran into the barn. Clark looked at her and saw she was really nervous. It was hard for her to talk, because she was breathing heavily. "Clark, I've been meaning to talk to you," She said when she calmed down.
"About what?" Clark asked setting down one of the hay stacks.
"You haven't been yourself lately; I thought you might want to talk."
Clark looked at Lois surprised, "You don't seem to be the one to want to listen to people's problems."
"There's a lot you don't know about me," Lois said, "But you do have a point there. Usually I'm not the one to listen to people's problems, but me staying here on the Kent farm changed me."
Clark couldn't tell Lois about his powers, he didn't know her well enough. How would he explain about Pete and Lana moving away, she doesn't know who they are? How would he explain about Lex's betrayal? Lois' cell phone rang breaking Clark's thoughts. Lois picked it up and muttered a few uh huhs and then hung up the phone.
Lois looked at Clark and smiled, "Cloey is a workaholic and she just called asking me to come to the torch. We'll finish this discussion another time. See you around Clark Kent."
Clark sighed in relief as he watched her walk out of the barn. Clark picked up the hay and continued to do the chores around the farm. "So what's the star of the football team doing all alone on a beautiful Saturday?" Clark heard a familiar voice ask.
"Alicia," Clark mumbled turning around to face Alicia, who was slowly walking to him.
"I'm surprised you remembered my name."
"You tried to kill Lana and me," Clark remembered in dismay. Clark and Alicia fell in love, because both felt closeness by the fact they had powers. Alicia tried to kill Lana, but was unsuccessful.
"And I'm really sorry," Alicia said, "I know you must hate for that. But I've changed and was hoping to have a second chance."
"Saying sorry won't change the past."
"I know that Clark," Alicia said reaching for Clark's hands. She grabbed them and held them tightly for support. She took a deep breath and continued, "I never stopped thinking of you. Even during the darkest times in Belreeve (Did I spell that right?) you could bring light. I still love."
"So I guess I won't ask how you escaped."
"I didn't escape, I am cured and my Doctor let me go," Alicia said with a weak smile.
"You could have called before teleporting here."
Alicia smiled, "I borrowed my mom's car."
"Oh," Clark said chuckling.
"My Doctor made a led bracelet that sends led into my blood stream to prevent me from using my powers," Alicia said pulling up her sleeve to show the led bracelet on her wrist.
Clark said, "Your Doctor was smart."
"Well it's getting late and I got to get home," She kissed him on the cheek and whispered, "I love you."
Clark was drinking orange juice the next morning as he waited for the school bus. He took the school bus now only because his pick up truck needed repairs. When Martha walked into the kitchen, Clark said, "Alicia was here last night."
"Here in the house?" She asked.
"No in the barn," Clark answered knowing how weird it sounded.
"So she escaped from Belreeve using her powers?" Jonathan walked in the kitchen.
'No she was let out."
"Are you sure she's not lying?" Jonathan asked, "You remember her obsession for you almost had you and Lana killed"
"I know that," Clark said, "But she says she has this led bracelet that prevents her from using her powers."
"Do you believe her?" Martha asked taking some freshly brewed coffee.
"I really don't know what to believe. Part of me wants to believe her, but the other part has doubt."
"I know how much you want to be with someone," Martha said, "But maybe she isn't the right one."
"What if she is?"
"Clark," Jonathan said, "We just want you to make the right decision."
"I believe she's cured."
"What if she isn't?" Martha asked taking a sip from her steaming coffee.
Clark was about to answer, but heard the honk of the bus. He grabbed his backpack and said, "Bye Mom and Dad, see you later."
Clark and Cloey walked into the Torch. Cloey sat by her computer and started typing. "I still can't believe she's back," Cloey said, "I wondered if she escaped or not."
"She couldn't have teleported."
"How come?" Cloey asked taking a sip form her coffee.
"She says she has a bracelet that prevents her from using her power."
"She might be lying," Cloey said taking another sip of her coffee.
"You sound like my parents," Clark commented crossing his arms over his chest.
"Come on," Cloey cried, "Alicia tried to kill you and Lana. I hope you haven't forgotten."
Cloey looked at the computer and said, "Well it looks like she's telling the truth."
Clark read the article next to Alicia's picture. He grew happy knowing she had told the truth. "Who's that?" Clark asked pointing to the picture that was under Alicia's.
"That's Dr. Phillip Brown. He graduated from Harvard in two years with more degrees than a thermometer."
Clark looked out the window and smiled. Cloey looked at Clark and saw his happiness. "I guess that's what our football star wanted to hear."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Lex opened his eyes. He had a major headache and fet blood on his head. Lex got up and saw his father staring at him. "What?" Lex asked.
"I'm glad you are alright," Linor said, "You gave me quite a scare there."
"What happened?"
"You were struck by lightening," Linor said walking up to Lex.
"Why didn't you call 911?"
'I was too scared."
"Liar," Lex screamed in uncontrolled rage at the same as thunder clashed in the back round. . He remembered everything in his life. Everything his father did to him, "I'm sick of you Dad. I'm sick of your petty schemes. You were hoping something would happen to me, so you can take back Luthor Corp."
Lex grabbed his father angrily. He felt anger growing inside of him and something else too. Suddenly bursts of electricity shot out of his hands. Linor crumbled to the floor. Lex looked at his Dad, who's hair was slightly smoking.. He looked at his own hands and saw the were shaking nervously, but still looked normal. He looked back at his dad and saw blood dripping out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
