Epilogue:

Clark had indeed found love again and two years after Lois's death, he and Chloe had started a relationship and they had now been married for a couple of months. Clark had adopted little Clark as his own son and Chloe had done the same thing with John, Cara, William, Lewis and little Lois. She and Clark also baby twin girls, whom they had named Rya Kent and Jessica Kent, the latter was named after Martha's mum. Martha now had eight grandchildren and she loved them all dearly. Starting a relationship with Chloe had been the best thing for Clark, as she had given him another reason to live. He still loved Lois, as Chloe still loved Jimmy, but they also knew that they needed to embrace what life had given them.

A year ago, Lana had come back to Smallville, as she had promised Clark she would, one day. She was now married to Jason Teague and they were expecting a baby. She had ensured that she established a relationship with her five other children, as she wanted to be a part of their lives. She and Jason were very happy together. She was glad to see Clark happy with Chloe and she had always suspected that they would end up together. Lana loved Jason more than she had ever loved Clark. She and Clark were now good friends and they remained close in terms of caring for their five children.

Clark's friendship with Oliver was still a solid one and the two of them were now like brothers, even closer than they had been when Lois had been alive. Oliver had not found anyone else with whom he wanted to share his life, but he had Laura and Ella. Whilst Clark had moved on and had built his wife with Chloe, Oliver had not moved on and still loved Lois as he had the day they have married.

However, this brotherly love was brought to an earth-shattering end, when Oliver, as the Green Arrow, was shot dead whilst on patrol. Laura and Ella, who were now 11 and 7, knew about their dad's dual identity and Laura always said that he died "doing what he loved." Following Oliver's death, Laura and Ella were left to the care of Clark and Chloe, who loved both of the girls as if they were their own.

John and Cara ended up following in their father's footsteps and become two of the world's greatest superheroes and both Laura and Ella became female versions of the Green Arrow.

Centuries later, the love triangle between Clark Kent, Lois Lane and Oliver Queen was one which every child knew, but the story was known by another name.
