Secrets Chapter 3
Author's Note: In 'Ryan' they said he was dying because of his mind reading, but I'm not going to go with that. Italics are for the thoughts Ryan can hear and have been heard. I know this isn't true, but Ryan is now going to be able to read Clark's mind. Thank you for being waiting all ong time,but it has been a hard year for me. I hope you like it.
Ryan's Pov
Clark walked out of the senator building fast and I followed. I let the thoughts of Mrs. Kent or now I guess I should call her mom, drift back into my head.
I really hope Chloe can expose Lex because I think she is highly capable of becoming the best reporter the Daily Planet has ever seen. I guess I just wish that one day Chloe can find a guy that can treat her well and love her. Okay what am I saying Chloe deserves to have Clark love her like she loves him. I think he could because for all I know that goes on inside my son's head that could be the reason Lana and him broke up, but that highly unlikely. Because as long as I've known Lana she has not cared about Chloe's feelings for Clark never once caring if it caused Chloe pain. What kind of person does that?
Wow I never thought Lana would be like that not caring, maybe mom is wrong, but I don't think so she knows everyone well.
"Ryan let's go, buddy" he says waving a hand in front of my face.
"Okay sorry, I just blanked out for a minute," I say as I grab Clark's arm and he starts to run and is slowly gaining speed. A few minutes later we were standing in front of the Daily planet building.
Clark lets go of my arm and I follow my new brother into the busy lobby where everyone was coming or going. We walked across the lobby and in through two double doors that had a sign saying Classifieds. Chloe works here I thought she would work up stairs with all the news reporters.
He kept walking faster and now I can hear what he's thinking.
Okay Clark breath you can do this Lex has betrayed you before you can handle this. Okay I'm just really angry I looked across at Clark and I can tell he's really angry.
"Clark what are you doing here, what's wrong" asks Chloe in concern sitting behind her desk.
"Lex he…" Clark tried to say, but he couldn't make it come out. Chloe looks so beautiful. No I can't be thinking this I love Lana, I love Lana, but then again Chloe does look great in that skirt and suit combo. All I can do is smile. Mom might be right Clark is trying to hide his feelings for Chloe. A big smirk comes onto my face I can't help it because I've always thought Chloe was better for Clark then Lana.
"Lex what?" asked Chloe.
"Lex kidnapped me and used be for a lab rat" I answered for Clark.
"Ryan" she asked in surprise.
"Yes" I say.
"But how?" she asks.
"Lionel first captured me, but Lex started to try to get information about Clark" I say.
"What kind of information?" she asked worriedly.
I knew it Lex still wants to learn Clark's secret why does that not surprise me. Lex is defiantly the real life Anakin Skywalker and that creeps the heck out of me. Except he doesn't really have his Padma. Well I guess now that I think about that's not actually true in a sense, he's been in love with Lana for how know's long? Hmm… whom would that make me? Well actually we can't be Star Wars characters since the Jedi can't love anyone? Clark is in love with Lana. I'm not sure about Lana anymore. Lex is in love with Lana and always has been since he met her. Well I still can't get over Clark even after learning he and Lana did the deed. Actually I think it makes me want him more. Okay, I take that back. He's never going to do it with me let alone any other woman. Besides he will never see me as more then a friend like always. I always wonder what he would think if he knew I did it with Jimmy while on my summer internship here right before junior year. Wow a lot of information. Probably too much considering she just said she had sex with someone at my age.
"Like what you and I know about Clark?" I ask.
"What do you know?" she suspiciously.
"Chloe it's okay don't, he knows" Clark says.
"Okay, sorry Ryan I'm alittle worried about what people know. I guess it's because I'm his Krypto hag" she with a smirk and Clark blushes deep red. Did she have to bring that up again. I can't believe I let myself talk about Lana and I's sex life with her. It's just so wrong. Especially now that I'm starting to think of her in a different way, I can't exactly put my finger on it. Maybe that was what my dad was trying to tell me. Nah that's not what he was trying to tell me and I know it. Oh my gosh there both so in love with each and they don't think the other one is. I let another smirk spread across my face. I need to stop this or Clark's going to know I can read his mind now.
"It's okay. Chloe" I say and she smiles a bright smile.
"Hey Ryan I'm sorry I didn't seem that happy to see you earlier you just caught be off guard. Besides now I have a brother. I would say little, but you are sixteen, buddy" says Clark with a bright smile. He wraps an arm around me and gives me a hug and I hear a click from behind the desk as a camera goes off. We pull away and Clark gives Chloe the 'what are you doing?' clueless look.
"Perfect Kodak moment. Sorry I could resist getting a shot of my best friend and his new little brother" she says with a kind of laughing smile.
"Hey I'm not little," I say in defense.
"You know what I mean," she says.
"Chloe well the reason we are here is I was wonder if you could write an article exposing Lex?" asked Clark with puppy dog eyes. It amazes me that a grown man such as himself uses that on Chloe.
"Of course I will Clark a long with exposing him on his other secret project and his plan to have your father buried six feet under" she says.
"What?" he asks in angry and surprised way.
"Chloe how come you kept this from me?" he asks.
"I didn't know until this afternoon. I thought Lex's behavior was fishy so I looked up stuff on Luthor Corp.'s database and found that a assassin was hired, but disappeared shortly after he was hired" She says.
"Do you think the reason my dad died was because he was surprised about an attacker?" Clark asks.
"No I don't think so," says Chloe.
"We better go Ryan I don't want to drag Chloe into this anymore then she already has" he says to me. Clark walks around the desk and leans down and gives Chloe a soft kiss on the cheek. When he was walking over I quickly grabbed the digital camera off Chloe's desk and snapped a picture. Clark heard the click of the camera as he pulled away.
"What was that about?" he asks.
"Well let see here, it was a picture perfect moment of my brother giving his best friend a kiss on the cheek" I say mocking Chloe's earlier. Let me rephrase that it's a picture of my brother kiss his secret love interest on the cheek.
"Let's go buddy," he says smiling a fake smile at me and starts to drag me out of the office to go home.
After we arrived back at the Kent Farm. Clark smiles at me softly. We stand there in silence for a minute or two.
Finally I say " What?"
"What was that about in the office when I swear you were smirking after I thought something to myself?" he asks and I smile innocently.
"Ryan can you read my mind?" he asks.
"Yeah" I answer honestly.
"Please don't tell anyone what I was think especially, Chloe," he says.
"I know and it's not like you the only one who has secrets to hide" I say.
"What do you mean by that?" he asks.
"Oh, just that there are some things that you don't know about Chloe, " I say.
"Like what?" he asks.
"I'm not going to tell you because it would be invading Chloe's privacy, all I was saying is that you don't know your best friend as well as you think." I say.
"Does it have anything to do with me?" he asks.
"Not really it's just something that she hasn't told you kind of like the fact that you didn't tell me that you and Lana did it" I say smirking.
"How do you know that?" he asks.
"Well Chloe was just thinking about it because the whole Lex deal brought it up," I say simply.
"What is Chloe hiding?" he asks.
"For a guy who hides the Jupiter of secrets you still don't understand when someone doesn't want to tell you something" I say.
"It's not like it Chloe having sex with some guy is going to change your feelings for her, she's still your best friend" I say quickly under my breath so he can't hear.
"Chloe what?" he says.
"Clark you heard what I said?" I ask quickly.
"Yeah I gained the power to hear really well when I went blind in junior year," He says.
"Don't try to change the subject Ryan. Did she really?" he asks.
"Well yeah I don't think she would think it if she didn't do it," I say.
"Well I guess your right," he says.
"Ryan can you not read my mind for a while so I can think?" he asks.
"Of course" I say. I just hope that him hear that didn't make him no longer trust worthy of Chloe. I bet his jealous as hell though.
