Chapter 5

After Clark and Lois got back to the farm they sat down and talked about how they were going to find their daughter. Which wasn't proving to be easy considering neither of them knew where to start when it came to locating their future daughter. Lois wound up staying for dinner and during dinner Martha sensed that something was different about Lois and Clark but couldn't quite pinpoint what it was. After dinner Lois decided to go over some business with Martha while Clark hung out at the loft.

Two and a half hours later Lois said goodnight to Martha and walked out to the loft to see Clark. When she walked into the barn she saw him standing at the window looking through his telescope.

"I've always wondered what your fascination with the sky was about, but I guess now I know. Is it because that's where you come from, because you fell from the stars?" Lois said pointing to the night sky.

Clark turned to her and saw in her eyes that she really was interested in knowing more about him. He grasped her hand and led her over to the couch. "I guess in a way it is, I feel connected to it, like it's where I belong." They glanced at each other and realised their hands were still intertwined but neither let go.

"Listen I have to go home but I didn't drive here Chloe did . . ."

"So you want to know if I could take you home." He finished for her smiling.

"Yeah . . . if its not too much to ask?" she said smiling at him herself.

"No I don't mind . . . but I'm not taking you by car."

"Then how do you suppose we get to my place?" she inquired looking at him standing in front of her smiling cheekily at her.

"Like this." He walked over to her and she squealed as he picked her up. When she looked around again she realised she was in her apartment. Clark looked at her and saw she was laughing.

"That was so cool. I'm guessing that's super speed." She said chuckling.

"Yeah." He said smiling at her reaction. "You're not scared?" he asked worriedly.

"Are you kidding me? That was the coolest thing I've seen."

Clark stood watching her and again felt something had changed. She is so amazing. Why am I only realising it now?

Lois stood watching him and she had never seen him smile like that. He's so amazing. What is it about him that has changed? Where are these feelings coming from? They continued looking at each other and now understood how it was that the future in the photo could come to be. Clark realised he had to get out of there before he kissed her.

"Well listen . . . I'm going to go home . . . I'll see you in the morning Lois."

Lois and Clark both began walking off but Clark turned back around and walked over to her and grasped her in a warm embrace.

Lois was stunned at first when he hugged her but she slowly wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him back. This feels right. They pulled apart suddenly and backed away from each other. Clark headed out. Before he super sped home he turned to watch her in the window. "Goodnight Lois," he whispered.

Lois stood at the window amazed, she walked over to her phone and called Chloe and asked her to come to the Talon in the morning. They needed to discuss a few things. Chloe promised to be there. After they hung up Lois walked into her bathroom had a shower and got dressed for bed. As soon as her head hit the pillows she fell asleep and back at the farm Clark Kent had done the same thing.

That night Clark Kent was lost in a very nice dream. He and Lois were getting married. Clark was getting ready and having problems with his bow tie when his dad came in and helped him. Jonathan told him he was so happy for him that he had finally found his soulmate. That's when Clark woke up and he realized that when Clark told Lois about himself she had got up and touched the symbol on the wall, the one of his soul mate. Is it possible that Lois is my soulmate? He laid back down again and fell back asleep smiling.

Meanwhile back at the apartment above the Talon Lois was also dreaming. She and Clark were up in his loft talking and laughing. Lois got up and walked over to the window and looked up into the night sky. Clark had walked over and was standing next to her, so close their shoulders were touching. He saw that she was cold so he wrapped his arm over her shoulder and pulled her towards him. Next thing they knew they were kissing.

He pulled away from her looked into her eyes and said, "I love you Lois Lane."

And she told him, "I love you Clark Kent."

Under the night sky they professed their love and kissed passionately. Lois woke up suddenly "Oh crap, just as it was getting good!" She sighed and laid back down hoping to get back to her dream.

In the morning, Lois Lane felt ready to face anything that came her way. She was sitting on the couch going over the notes for Martha's meeting when Chloe arrived.

"Ok, I'm here cuz. What's up?" she asked sitting down next to Lois and giving her a latte.

"Why didn't you tell me about Clark?" She turned and saw her cousin had tensed up. Obviously Clark had also told Lois about Chloe finding out about him from Alicia.

"Umm . . . w . . . what do you mean Lois?"

"You know . . . that he's from another planet and that he has powers."

"Oh?" Chloe asked surprised.

"I woke up and heard you two on the phone, so I climbed in the back of the truck and followed him into the cave. There was a bright light and next thing I know I'm laying on ice."

"You were transported to the fortress?"

"Yeah . . . I think that's what they called it."

"They?"

"Yes, umm . . . Jor-El and Clark."

"You spoke to Jor-El?"

"No I heard him. Clark saw me and we went back to the cave and talked for hours. Clark explained everything to me . . . and I do mean everything. Then we went home and had dinner with Mrs Kent. And then Clark super sped me home." Chloe noticed she was smiling.

"It's awesome isn't it? The super speeding, I mean. Except I've never really experienced it . . . uh . . . I think."

"Yeah it sure is," Lois said with a goofy smile on her face. She stood up and walked over to the window. "I understand him a lot better now."

Clark had got up and got dressed and was walking down the stairs thinking about the dream he had, and how they were going to find his daughter. As he walked over to the table Martha couldn't help but notice he looked happier then she had ever seen him.

"Morning sweetie."

"Hi mum," he kissed her on the cheek, "so what do you have planned today?" he asked while pouring a glass of juice.

"Well when Lois arrives we have some notes to go over before my meeting. What do you have planned for today?" she said as she put a plate of bacon and eggs in front of him.

"Well asides from the chores not much." He didn't like lying to his mum, but Lois was right. He didn't want to concern her until they knew exactly what they were dealing with. While they were eating breakfast when Clark decided to tell Martha that Lois knows about him. So they sat at the table discussing it and Clark told her about how his feelings had changed, but that he didn't know what they meant. Martha just smiled and nodded. I knew it would happen someday.

Half an hour later Clark was exiting the barn just as Lois drove up the driveway. He walked towards her as she got out of the car and saw that Chloe was with her.

"Chloe . . . what are you doing here?"

"I called her last night . . . Smallville we need to discuss how we are going to go about finding our daughter . . . wherever the hell she is. Listen I have to go over some notes with your mum then we'll all talk." She smiled at him and walked towards the house.

Chloe watched the both of them smiling at each other. The last time she saw Clark that happy was when he won the championship.

"So you told Lois."

"Yeah . . . but you know what? Having you and Lois know makes me feel free to be the real me." He said smiling at her.

"I'm glad Clark, but if you keep smiling like that I might think you like her." Chloe said nudging him in the shoulder. Clark could see she was teasing him so he nudged her back playfully. Meanwhile inside the house Lois and Martha were talking about Lois knowing Clarks secret and about Lois's dreams.

Christina was still looking for her photo; she walked into the Talon and asked one of the waitresses if anyone had found a photo. The waitress went to have a look in lost and found and came back and told there was no photo. Christina was really upset that her photo was lost, so when she walked outside and bumped into the person she felt was to blame for everything that had happened, she snapped.

"Lana Lang." She said distastefully. More like Blana if you ask me. What the hell did dad ever see in her?
"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Lana asked in that sweet annoying little voice of hers, wondering who the strange girl was.

"No . . . of course you don't," she said sarcastically, "you only ruined my life, Little Miss Perfect."

"I don't know who you are, so I'm just going to walk away . . . before I get pushed into doing something I might regret." She began walking into the Talon.

"You already did."

"I'm sorry what was that?"

"Nothing, just a friendly warning Lana Lang: you go anywhere near my mum and dad or the rest of my family, I'll make sure you live to regret it!" Christina said angrily.

Lana couldn't say anything to that she was to stunned by the strange girl accusing her of ruining her life.

"Oh heres a first Lana Lang with nothing to say."

"Look I don't know you or your mum and dad or the rest of your family so leave me alone." Lana walked inside fuming over the fact that a strange girl just accused her of something. God some people are so strange.
