Three

We followed Darren into the printers office as soon as we entered the others turned to look at us, and raised an eyebrow, "I hate that look," I mumbled. Samantha dumped her stuff in her dad's office and he turned to look at me and I knew on his face he was worried. "You don't have to worry."

"I know, she's my baby," he said looking at her. She rolled her eyes making me laugh, she grabbed a bobble and began to put her brown hair up. "Just take care of her, don't let her get into too much trouble and just don't leave her anywhere." He covered his mouth with his hand and looked at Samantha. "My baby."

"Alright dad chill," she said turning bright red. "I'll be fine with Liberty."

"Get out of my office," Darren said pointing at the door. Samantha walked out and he shut the door, he walked over to me and sat on the edge of his desk. "I know this may seem over the top but we both know the journalism world is cut throat, I just I don't want to see her hurt or broken."

"I won't let that happen Darren," I told him. He reached up and grabbed my hand and I smiled softly, I looked away a minute. I knew what he was thinking about, "I'll bring her down at lunch and we can go out if you want?"

"I'd like that," he said. "See how her first day is going." I nodded, "so I heard you went on a date the other day." I raised an eyebrow, "Kara."

"That girls needs to not blab so much," I said shaking my head. "I did go on a date yes." I turned my attention to Samantha and smiled a little, "don't ask. I better go, I have work to do."

"Liberty," he said not letting go of my hand. "I want us to try again." I smiled a little, "I won't bug you but I would like you to think about it."

"I will," I nodded. I walked out of his office and let out a breathe of air, I smiled as I turned to look at Samantha. "Let's go we are going to be busy, I would like to show you the majority of the building on a quick tour then you can pick out the parts you like and we can spend a few days there."

"Yeah that sounds good," she smiled. I walked towards the lift and hit the up button, "So are you and my dad together?" I stared at her and shook my head slightly. "It looked like it."

"What?" I asked as we stepped onto the lift. I hit the 10th floor button and the lift door closed, "no, never."

"You did once though," she said. "My dad told me and so did my mom when he first mentioned it. You like my dad?"

The lift dinged open and I stepped out I made my way into Kara's office and Clark was stood at her desk, "where's Kara?" I asked curiously.

"Probably getting yelled at by Snapper," Clark said. "Could I talk to you privately?" He nodded to the side and I followed him to the side of the room away from Samantha, "I am sorry about my behaviour yesterday Libby." I nodded, I frowned slightly as he said my nickname it didn't bother me as much as it should have done. "I sometimes stay in my own world."

I laughed a little, "I get that, I can stay in my own world too," I said with a grin. "Thank you Clark for the apology."

"You have a beautiful smile," he said. I smiled as I looked into his hazel eyes, I saw a flash in my head and frowned slightly, it was as if I had seen those eyes before. He stared me in the eyes and I bit my lip a little, we stayed in silence just staring at each other.

"Ugh I hate that man!" I heard Kara snap. I turned around and she was staring at me and Clark. "Did I interrupt something?"

I stepped back from Clark and looked at Kara, "no certainly not," I said. "Nothing to interrupt." She raised an eyebrow, and I stared at her, "erm so why do you hate Snapper?"

"Teared apart my article, ugh," she groaned. I raised an eyebrow, "yes I know he's meant to do that but it makes me annoyed. Seriously Clark how do you do it?"

"It took a while Kara, don't worry you will get used to it," Clark said.

I smiled and nodded, "this is why I do the advice column I'm my own boss all I have to do is worry about getting my article to Darren in time for printing," I smirked. Kara winked and I shook my head, "speaking of Kara this is his daughter Samantha she is going to be with us for a week to experience the cut throat world of journalism."

"Nice to meet you Samantha, journalism is great as long as you don't have an asshole boss," Kara said.

"Cat trusted him with you," I said. "I'm sure he's just trying to make you the best you can be, and you know he has done some of your stories so shut up complaining and suck it up."

"He's still a jerk," Kara complained.

I laughed, "So anyway so I'm taking her around," I said.

"I was wrong, you are not into my dad," Samantha said.

"She's Darren's kid?" Kara asked. I nodded, "nice to meet you Samantha, what was that about her and your dad?"

I groaned instantly, "Kara shut up."

"My father shut the door and they were in there talking for about 2 minutes," Samantha said. "They were very close when I sneaked a peak."

I slapped my head I really hated these two sometimes especially when they were talking about my love life. I sat on the sofa and watched them gossip, I felt the sofa dip down next to me. "Does Kara always do this?" He asked curiously. I felt his eyes on me but I just watched Kara and Samantha. "I mean set you up with people."

"Yes," I nodded. "The last one literally tried to kill me, that was fun." He stared at me shocked, "oh don't worry I kicked his ass, it was quite fun really." Clark stared at me not saying a word, I smiled innocently. I listened to Kara and Samantha talk and I shook my head, I really hated when they talked about my relationships. "Guys."

They both turned to look at me and smiled innocently, "what?" Kara asked batting her eyelashes.

"You know what," I frowned. "I am not being put into a relationship by you again, if you haven't noticed everyone you or Alex have set me up with ends up badly."

"Name 5," she protested.

"Luke, Jake, Blaine, Blake, Connor, Peter-" I was interrupted by Kara.

"Alright fair point," she said. "I'll stop setting you up with people, they were good guys, have you ever thought you are just picky?" I glared at her, "What have you ever actually been in a relationship that has lasted longer than a date?"

I stayed silent, in my head yes, but I didn't know for definite, I thought I did but I could never fully remember. "Kara leave her alone," Clark said. I turned to look at him in surprised, his fist was clenched and I frowned slightly. That was weird. I didn't understand why he was annoyed.

"What?" Kara asked with a frown.

I turned to look at Kara and Samantha, Kara was sending a look to Clark I frowned slightly. "You know what," he said.

I stood up, "you two are weird, come on Samantha let's go," I said shaking my head. We left Kara's office and I turned to look back at them, they seemed to be in a very heated conversation, I frowned slightly. I wondered what that was about.

"Did you and Clark Kent date?" Samantha asked. I shook my head, "really? It seems like you two knew each other very well, like lost loves or something."

"I met him yesterday for the first time," I told her shaking my head. His eyes flashed in my mind and I shook my head, I had no idea why they was so familiar. "Never before."

"It doesn't seem like that," she said.

I took her around the rest of CatCo but I couldn't get out of my head what she had said, and what Clark had done, I was conflicted. I felt like I had met him before but I hadn't. I rubbed my forehead every now and then I would see flashes inside my head and I could never see them clearly. I sat in my office chair and began spinning around in my chair, Samantha had gone to dinner with her dad and I opted to stay locked in my office. I was spinning when I heard a knock I stopped as my door opened I saw Clark enter and I fell off the chair, I smacked my face off the floor and groaned.

"Shit, are you ok?" Clark asked. I looked to see him helping me up. I rubbed my face that was going to leave a bruise. He placed a hand on my cheek and I flinched as I felt a shock, "sorry didn't mean to press."

"It's fine," I said looking him in the eye. I had finally stopped feeling dizzy he was looking at the mark on my face, "I'm fine."

"You always were clumsy," he said softly. I looked at him confused, "are you ok?"

I nodded, "guess you wouldn't be surprised to hear I fall all the time?" I laughed. He smiled and my mind flashed with a face, the one that plagued my memories. "Thank you Clark."

"Well, don't I feel like I'm interrupting a romantic moment," I heard someone say.

I turned around to see a funky looking person by the window, an energy ball appeared in his hand, "duck!" I yelled pushing Clark over, he held me tightly as we fell. The energy ball hit the wall, as soon as it did I knew it was high voltage, I looked at Clark and back at the demon. I had to use my powers, he was firing energy ball after energy ball, "you are ruining my office wall."

"I don't care witch," he spat. He advanced towards me and I kicked him in the stomach it had little effect, he went to try and form an energy ball and I knocked it out of his hand.

I fell to the floor hitting my desk, "Libby!" Clark yelled. I looked at him confused and then I heard laughter before I could do anything I felt a body shield me, Clark was looking straight into my eyes as the energy ball hit him. I stared in shock, it didn't even harm him.

"Isn't this a surprise?" He mused. "I'll be back little witch."

He shimmered out of the room and I groaned, "I think we need to talk."
