Clark looked over at the table trying to figure out how he got here. One moment they were up in the loft. Then Alicia slipped a red k necklace on him. Then there was Vegas. He looked over at his oh man… his wife at least until they get the annulment. As if last night wasn't bad enough there was another thing he never saw coming… the girl standing aside from him right now in the courtroom… it's not Alicia. She chickened out so he decided to head out to LA and a whole new nightmare came up.
The judge came into the courtroom and its days like this he really hates Vegas. He looks over and sees a teenage guy and a beautiful woman on the other side. He doesn't think the woman has ever been in chambers before she's dressed in a black shirt clinging to her body's natural curves. With a V shape cut giving a view that would leave most men drooling over along with red leather pants. "Sorry about being late the neighborhood is still recovering from the blackout last night, Mr. and Mrs. Kent why are the two of you here today instead of a honeymoon?"
Clark looked away he imagines his face probably looks as red as his wife's jeans. He's pretty sure they caused the blackout or at least she did.
"My husband had a hissy fit this morning when I broke his necklace." The newest Mrs. Kent replied. She never thought she'd have last night and this morning. Until one broken piece of jewelry ruined everything. That ugly red thing could not have meant that much to him. To top it off the only thing broken was the metal the rubies were fine, fake... but fine. She's fighting for this, last night was her deepest wish come true, and since he said that stupid thing just lowered his inhibitions he still wants her on some level.
The judge simply held his head. He can already tell this brunette woman is going to be a handful. He looked to her husband. "Mr. Kent?"
Clark held up papers he spent the morning filling out. "Just trying to get an annulment your honor." He handed the form to the judge.
The Judge read it and everything seemed to be in order. "Mrs. Kent, do you have anything to say?"
Mrs. Kent let out a smile the Clark knew wasn't good from last night. What was about to follow wouldn't be pretty. "Well since we're in a proper setting and my husband is from Kansas I'll say we rolled in the hay three times last night and once this morning. I could barely walk here."
Clark's face turned a deep shade of red and the judge had an innocent laugh. "Sorry Mr. Kent but once the marriage has been consummated you can only end it in divorce."
Clark stared at the girl who could only smile. "I can name millions of reasons why that won't happen."
Clark's wife stared at him. Like she can't get it if she wants to. "It's not about the money."
"What money?" The Judge asked.
The brunette looked at the judge and back to her husband. "I liked you better when you were high."
"Mrs. Kent?" The judge responded. "Answer the question"
"Mrs. Raiden-Kent" The former Gwen Raiden conceded. Last night was perfect to her she found a guy she was able to touch without deep charring him. "We went to the casino and we won a good amount of money."
"How much?" The Judge asked.
Gwen looked at Clark whom just nodded. "One hundred and twenty million dollars. We were big winners."
Clark silently nodded and that one was 'freak luck' too. Kal and Gwen stole some sort of seeing thing and sold it for thirty million after some guy with a thirty four pound forehead gave it to him. Kal watched as the metal ball landed in the green and three million dollars times thirty four.
The judge looked at the couple dumb struck. "How the hell did you two win over a hundred million dollars?"
"Well first we lost a few million then the roulette wheel went off on green and paid thirty four to one on three million." Gwen answered. "Then we had too much to drink, got married by Elvis, and consummated the marriage four times. And now we're here."
The judge glared at the two. The newest Mr. & Mrs. Booze Story. "You know people like you two make me sick."
"HEY!" Clark and Gwen protested.
The judge looked at the two and smiled. Gwen from her work she knew that was a sadistic smile if there ever was one. This isn't going to end well. "Listen carefully Mr. and Mrs. Kent. Whether the two of you like it or not, you each made vows to each other. Now, I've been married for thirty years to the same wonderful, infuriating woman in the same chapel as the two of you none the less. And granted there are days when I want to light her on fire." Clark awkwardly looked away. "But I don't, because I love her. And that would be illegal. And you know something, and I might be old fashioned but when I said those vows, I meant them. And judging from how coherent your signatures are the two of you did too."
Gwen had a smile on her face that might have to be surgically removed at a later date. "I take it we're not getting an annulment."
The judge shook his head. "No, Mrs. Kent I'm not. I'm also putting a freeze on the one hundred and twenty million."
And just like that Gwen's smile was gone. "WHY!"
The judge looked at them as Clark stood next to Gwen and grabbed her by the arm before she singed the judge. "Abuse of power, I guess but the fact that you were married tonight and tried to annul it today shows no line of ownership whose money went into the winning hand."
Neither Gwen or Clark could answer.
"The two of you can collect the whole fund in six months granted you see marriage counseling throughout it and try to make it work. Court is adjourned."
"Remind me as to why I'm not frying him until he twitches." Gwen asked as she started pacing the floor.
Clark looked at her his eyes almost cold looking at her. "Well for starters, I'll stop you." He went back to normal. "Also he might start asking his own questions, like where did the original millions we had come from."
Gwen nodded and realized that would be bad. "Good point, so, your place or mine."
Clark looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Still not giving up are you?"
Gwen shook her head. "No"
Clark let out a smile. "Well first thing I gotta do is tell my parents…" He has a crooked smile and lets out what he hopes is a joke. "You can actually restart hearts right."
Gwen smiled see there's the guy she met last night. "Yeah, we can even share stories about how we got scars on the plane to Kansas." Gwen took off the glove and smiled seeing Clark take her open hand and not even whimper in pain." She's not foolish; she knows they are as far from their types as they can get with that ruby destroyed which she will be asking about. But there were sparks between them and not just a lame pun from her. And sometimes a spark can make something great.
