Chapter Five
About half an hour later, Lois and Clark stood inside of the Fortress of Solitude. Lois could not believe how beautiful it was.
"Kal-El, my son. What are you doing here?"
"Jor-El, I have brought a friend to see the Fortress."
"Ah, Lois Lane. I wondered how many Earth years it would be, until my son brought you here."
Clark was confused.
"What do you mean, Jor-El?"
"Both of your destinies are intertwined. Lois Lane is the one who will help you on the road to your destiny. In fact, she is the only one who can help you on the road to your destiny. All others will only be a hindrance."
"I am sorry, Jor-El. I still do not know what you mean."
"Lois Lane is your soul mate, my son. With her, you will have many sons and daughters. With her, you will realize the true path you are to take. It was not by accident that Lois Lane found you, when I sent you back to Earth. It was by destiny and fate alone."
Clark turned startled eyes to Lois. She could not make a sound. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth opened in shock.
Well, thought Clark. I guess it is a good idea that I went ahead and told Lois about my abilities after all. Especially if she is going to be my wife someday.
"Lois Lane, you are very quiet. Do you not have anything to say?"
"To be honest, Jor-El, I do not know what to say. The only idea that I had when Clark brought me here, was to help him learn how to fly."
"How much have you told her, Kal-El?"
"I told her everything."
"Good. Do you still have the bracelet the Indian girl gave to you, Kal-El?"
"Yes."
"Do you remember what she told you about it?"
"Yes, she said that it rightfully belonged to my soul mate."
All of a sudden, Clark's eyes grew large, as he realized what that meant.
"Yes, my son. The bracelet rightfully belongs to Lois Lane. She is the one destined to wear it. Remember, once she puts it on, she will never be able to take it back off."
"Are you okay with that, Lois?"
"Clark, I have the feeling that as long as I am with you, everything will be okay. I would be honored to wear the bracelet."
Clark grinned.
"Jor-El, is there any way you can give us some privacy?"
"Of course, my son."
When Clark was sure they would not be disturbed, he pulled Lois into his arms.
"I wondered about that ever since the first time you kissed me, Lois. I have never felt the kind of rush that I feel with you, with any other girl. I guess you really are stuck with me."
"To be honest, Smallville, I would not have it any other way."
Clark smiled, as he lowered his mouth to hers. As they kissed, Lois began to feel as if she were floating on air. When Clark raised his head, he smiled at the only woman that had ever made him feel so free.
Lois looked down.
"Smallville, remember my idea?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I believe we have accomplished it."
Clark looked down.
"Well, I be damned."
He had finally learned how to fly.
