Authors Note: Well, I had this up before, but I rewrote it, because as you know if you read it, it was incredibly short, and pretty crappy. Its rated M, just in case, but it probably wont get that bad. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: If I owned Smallville, would I be writing Chlark fanfics? Of course it's not mine.

Chapter 1

"Clark, you were not forced into exile. You ran away from your problems, you are not being noble, you are being a coward!" It hurt Chloe so much to say these words to Clark. 'But this isn't Clark.' She told herself. Sure it was him physically, but this wasn't the same plaid loving farm boy from Smallville. He had changed since he ran away to Metropolis three months ago, and she had to use any means necessary to get him back.

Suddenly Clark grabbed his chest for no apparent reason, but it looked like he was in pain. He grunted, and started walking towards Chloe. He pushed her to the door.

"Chloe, get out! If you tell anyone where I am, I will go so far away that no one will ever find me!" He shouted. She pulled out of his grip. "I don't even know who you are anymore" she stated.

"GET OUT!" At the last second, Chloe ducked under Clarks arms and ran to the other side of the room. "You know what, I don't think I will. You need to tell me what has been going on with you these past few months." She demanded, bracing herself for the outburst. It never came.

She turned back to him when she heard him yell in pain. In a few seconds, he ripped his shirt off, and Chloe gasped. There was a huge symbol on his chest that looked like an eight inside of a diamond. The scar took up a majority of his chest. If that wasn't strange enough, it was glowing bright red. 'How is that even possible?' she wondered, amazed. If Chloe was intrigued before, that was nothing compared to now.

Clark was now on the floor, crying out in pain. For some unfathomable reason, he was trying to pull off his class ring. Even stranger, it wasn't budging. After a while, he finally got it off, and stayed on the floor, completely out of breath. When he finally caught it again, he looked around the room wildly. His gaze landed on Chloe, who was staring at him with a panicked expression on her face. "Damn" he muttered

"What the hell happened to you? Just tell me the truth" Chloe said, with all emotions. She was angry at Clark for not telling her anything. Sadness because he had to suffer through so much. Confusion, for all that she had seen in the past hour. Chloe also felt love, which she always felt when she was around Clark.

Clark sighed, knowing what else he had to do. He sighed and stared at the red ring, a few feet from him. "Chloe, I will tell you everything in a minute, but could you please do one thing for me please?" He continued when Chloe nodded. "Just take my ring, and throw it out the window as hard and as far as you can." She shot him a confused look "Please, just do it. I would, but believe me, I can't. I would go kind of... well… crazy again."

Though she was still confused, she nodded and picked up the ring and threw it out the window as hard as she could. Clark took a deep breath and prepared himself for the worst. This time it came.

As soon as the two teens heard the dull clink of the ring on the sidewalk, Clark was screaming in agony again. This time however, the scar was glowing, but the pain was slightly lighter and the symbol was fading. In a few seconds, Clark stopped screaming out and caught his breath again. Then, much to Chloe's disappointment, he got up and walked to his closet and threw a shirt on.

After he threw his shirt on, he turned to Chloe and addressed her in the strangest way possible. "What would you say if I told you that there use to be a planet named Krypton, and thirteen years ago, it completely disappeared, and there was only one survivor, a baby named Kal-El?"

Chloe thought about this for a moment. "Well, if I was a person who lived anywhere but Smallville, I would get you to therapy as soon as possible." At this point, Chloe paused and smiled. "However, I am a reporter who lives in Smallville, so I would say 'Hi Kal-El. My name is Chloe Sullivan. Pleased to meet you. Wow, your really cute for an alien!"

Clark broke into a smile and pulled Chloe into a hug. "Your not too bad yourself" They broke apart and Chloe had a thoughtful look on her face. "You said thirteen years ago?" she asked. Clark nodded, knowing she had put two and two together. "A meteor shower would be a perfect cover for a spaceship, wouldn't it?"

"Yep" Clark responded "Oddly enough, the only people who saw the ship were my parents. You sure you're okay with this?" Chloe took a deep breath. "Well, it's a little overwhelming, and I know there's still more about you that I don't know. But your still the same man I fell in love with, alien or not."

She saw Clarks face change from worried to caring and shocked. 'Crap. I just said that out loud, didn't I?' she thought "Okay, look, I know you may not feel the same way about…" Chloe was cut off by Clark's lips on hers. She sank into the kiss. It was sweet and tender, yet filled with love. "I love you too Chloe." He said when they broke apart. "When we broke up after the tornado, I was devastated."

Chloe was confused at this. "But Lana…" "I had to save her. She's one of my best friends. Not to mention that by this point, it's just instinct that I go and help when there's someone in trouble. Believe me, that dance was one of the best nights of my life. I wish it lasted longer. As for the dating, that was for a few reasons. The first was to get over you. I also began to see her in a new light. She is pretty; she just didn't have the same effect on me as you do."

Chloe smiled; glad to hear she didn't make a total fool of herself. She leaned in to kiss Clark again. This kiss became passionate fast, and soon Clarks tongue was begging for entrance into her mouth. She automatically accepted. As there tongues were each exploring these new territories, Clark began to sweat. Soon, his eyes were burning. In a few seconds, he broke off the kiss and shouted "CHLOE! GET DOWN!"

She was startled, but did as she was told. Almost immediately after she ducked, Chloe felt a wave of heat pass over her head. She turned around and saw Clark appear right by a fire and was patting it out. In a few seconds it was gone.

"What the hell just happened, Clark" he sighed. "I lost control of my heat vision. See, I have heat and X-ray vision, super speed and strength, and the only thing that can harm my skin is the green meteor rocks."

Chloe smiled. "Well that explains a lot of the past few years. You know, this just makes you even more attractive to me, we just have to work on that heat vision and we'll be set!" He laughed. Chloe was taking this much better than Pete had. "Look, Chloe, I have so much more I need to tell you, but I was to tell you everything right now, we would be here for quite a few more hours. It's already getting late."

"Oh, don't worry about that. My dad is use to me spending all my time in Metropolis at the Daily Planet. He won't worry. Mind if I spend the night here?"
