I personally do not own any of Smallville.

After only two hours at the Plant, Lex was beyond frustrated. All he could think about was leaving and getting together with Alexa for the hour had free today. When he was done with his myriad of meetings and tours of the plant, he rushed out the doors as quick as he could and called her. The sound of Queen's hit "Dancing Queen" rang in his ears. Boy, would he give her trouble about that later, but now all he wanted was to hear that angel's voice on the other end. His hopes and spirit soon faded when he heard "Hey guys this is Al. Trapped in some insane meeting wishing I would just die already so I would not have to sit through one more minute of this. Leave a message so I have something to live for!" He got her voicemail and decided to not leave a message and to just try later.

This failed attempt to connect with civilization in this town left him in a huge funk. He decided that all he wanted to do was go back to the mansion as quickly as he could and relax. He zipped out of the parking lot and down the road.

Clark stood there on the bridge deep in thought. He heard a truck go by and the noise of something falling. He was still in to deep to think about this noise; yet it started to bring him back to reality.

As Lex drove on he saw a truck pass by. Suddenly his phone rang and fell of the dashboard and on to the passenger's seat. He went to grab it desperately hoping it was Alexa, as he did this he was approaching a bridge. He looked back up after missing the call and saw it a moment too late. A roll of chain link was lying there right in the center of the bridge. He was going to fast to stop so he swerved. Thinking that the worst that could happen is him dying and the ending coming to his tortured existence, he made his peace with this decision. All of a sudden as he was going on his way through the railing and off the bridge, he saw that a teenage boy standing there right in his path. He realized this as he hit the boy and there both divide down into the river.

Clark's heart was beating fast he felt the coolness of the water all around him. He just thought what just happened! He could have sworn that car just hit him hard and fast and they both dived more than 3 stories down into the water, yet he was alive and could not find any sign of injury. He saw the car crashed into the bottom of the river and no signs that the driver had escaped. At that moment he decided to save the guy's life. He swam over to the car and pulled the roof right off as if it was made of tin foil. He grabbed the driver and quickly surfaced and brought him on land. He wasn't breathing. Suddenly Clark became very glad that Alli had guilted him into taking that lifeguard course with him. After a few minutes of CPR the man he had just pulled out of the river, coughed up some water and was regaining consciousness.

"I thought I hit you!?" the man said weakly.

"You did!" As Clark said this, his brain processed it. He DID just hit me and we DID just both fall from that bridge. HOW am I still alive and not AT ALL hurt, he thought finally gripping what had just happened. He knew he could run faster than normal and had unusual strength but this was something new to him entirely. The thought of this invulnerability accually scared him. And here he was dealing with this and his greatest confidant was away for god knows how long.

The sound of the coming ambulance and emergency vehicles rang in Lex's ears. Apparently this boy who had saved him had called for help. He could not help but think how weird it felt for him to be alive. The crews arrived and through warm dry blankets over both of them to help them from catching hypothermia. He heard his rescuer tell them that he say the car go off the bridge and had just dived into to save the person in side. Lex could not argue it any other way seeing as he had blacked out the second he went off the bridge.

Clark just stood there happy with the way he had just covered up what really happened. Thinking Alli would greatly approve of Clark's decision to figure out why what happened did before telling others about it. Then he heard his father's voice calling his name. The police must have called him. His dad came over, hugged him and did the quick check over that all parents do after their child had been anywhere around danger. This check being complete caused Jonathon Kent's tensed expression to loosen the slightest bit.

"Who was the lunatic driving that car?" Mr. Kent asked still with evident worry and frustration in his voice.

Lex stood now unshaken and said, " That would be me. Hello, Lex Luthor," at this he stuck out his hand for Mr. Kent to shake, " and if it wasn't for your son, Clark, here I would probably be died." Lex took his hand back in after assessing that it was not going to happen. "I owe you and your family, anything you name it."

"Drive slower!" Mr. Kent snapped. Boy did he hate the Luthors. He grabbed Clark and walked off to the truck to go home.

Lex just sat there alone while he waited for his driver to show up. His mind went back to Alexa. Where was she? Was it her whose call he missed? He couldn't check now seeing as his phone was sleeping with the fishes.
