-1Chapter 15-The truth
"Are you sure?" Clark asked. He knew it was no use trying to cover this up. He'd been careless in thinking she hadn't been up earlier and seen he wasn't cooking. Of course if he'd been paying attention he would have heard her in the first place.
"Don't lie to me Clark." Lana said, her hands on her hips
"I don't know how to tell you." Clark said. He rubbed his face and then ran his fingers through his hair. This was going to ruin everything. She was going to think he was a freak and not want to be with him.
"Just tell me the truth. It shouldn't be that hard." Lana said.
Clark sighed, trying to figure out the best way to tell her. All he could think of was to show her. He looked around for anything to demonstrate with.
"I can show you better than I can just say it." Clark said. Lana watched him patiently. Clark picked up a knife from Oliver's kitchen set. He slammed it down to his leg and the blade shattered. Lana gasped in shock, her eyes wide.
"You mean to tell me, that you're invincible like Lex?" Lana said.
Clark nodded, "That's not all." Lana had her eyes on him but blinked when he wasn't in front of her but behind her.
"Fast like Bart." Lana said turning around at his tap on her shoulder.
"Strong, enhanced senses and" Clark began but Lana cut him off.
"Enhanced senses?" She asked.
Lex must not have that or told her that he did. "Yea. I can hear things from miles away, and see through solid objects. Not to mention if I breathe deep I can move tons by breathing out." Clark said.
Lana leaned against the counter and watched Clark as he explained. Lex was strong and fast and could fly but that was it. Clark was telling her he could do so much more.
"So you can move things by breathing?" She asked.
Clark turned and took a deep breath. Lana watched as the couches moved against the window as he breathed out. He was careful to not send them right out the window.
"Okay." Lana said believing with her own eyes. "Wait you can see through things?" She asked.
"Um…yea." Clark said.
He wanted to laugh as she slowly made her way back behind the counter to hide her body.
"It's nothing I haven't seen before." Clark said.
"Well I'd only like you to see it when I feel like letting you see it. That's why it's called a reward system." Lana said, smiling at the last part of her sentence.
"I like rewards." Clark said smirking. "But I won't look unless I have permission."
Lana nodded and folded her arms across her chest. "So anything else you can do, super boy?" She asked.
"Well, I can cause heat to produce from my eyes. This is how I cooked everything so fast." Clark said.
Lana looked at the food and back at him, "So you can control the intensity of the heat?" She asked.
"Yes. I can cause things to erupt into flames or I can steam dry your clothes." Clark said.
"That could come in handy." Lana said.
"I can also fly." Clark said.
Lana nodded and came back out from behind the counter. "And you can do all of this how?" She asked.
"The military enhanced my natural abilities and made them super when they were resurrecting me." Clark said.
"And you though you could keep this from me?" Lana asked her arms still folded.
"I was hoping I could." Clark admitted.
She stepped up a hair's breath from him. "How could you think that?" She asked.
"We didn't need Lex finding out and I didn't know how you would react. Lex was horrible to you and used his abilities against you."
She let out a breath and walked away from him. "Clark, I wish you had just told me. Instead I catch you and then you tell me." Lana said.
"I'm sorry. I was under orders to not tell you. Believe I did though. I can't stand lying to you." Clark said.
"I understand. If it weren't for the circumstances, would you have told me?" She asked.
"Well honestly, if it weren't for the circumstances, I'd still be dead." Clark said.
Lana turned and gave him one heck of a death glare. "Clark."
"Sorry, that wasn't funny." Clark said. "If I wasn't under the order to not tell you, I would have." Clark said.
Lana walked back up to him and placed her hands on his chest. "I guess I can forgive you." She said.
"Really? I didn't think it would be that easy." Clark said.
"Normally not, but my breakfast is getting cold." Lana said.
"I can always heat it back up for you." Clark said.
Lana smiled and leaned up. Clark met her the rest of the way and kissed her deeply. She wasn't mad at him and she didn't freak out by him being different. He couldn't have hoped for it to be better.
He pulled her closer to him and ran his hands down her back to the hem of her shirt. Lana's hands found their way to his hair again and entangled her fingers in his locks.
The lift doors opened and Oliver, Victor, and A.C. stepped out of the lift.
Oliver cleared his throat, "Kal, remove your hands from underneath Lana's shirt. If I remember correctly, the handbook restricts any agents from getting it on while on duty."
Clark and Lana shot apart both red in the face. Victor and A.C. snickered and shat on the couch that was still pressed against the window.
"Look's like it got rough." A.C. said.
"Enough with the jokes." Victor said.
"What? I finally get to crack a joke and you're all 'behave' Mr. Fish jokes." A.C. said.
"Enough all of you. Kal, I have news of Impulse." Oliver said. "Lex captured him and is holding him in the Luthorcorp building."
