Hi sorry about this short chapter, i haven't really had time to write much due to school work...since i had no responses to which character people wanted to see witness Clark using his powers, i have changed the plot slightly...hope you enjoy :D
Once everyone was up, it wasn't long before Lois arrived. Clark had happily let her in…after she had knocked on the door, merely grateful she hadn't decided to just let herself in again.
Chloe greeted her cousin with a more sisterly kiss to the cheek, moving to pour her a cup of fresh coffee. Clark joined the two women and waited as Chloe and Lois chatted over trivial things, things men dared to listen to…Clark was no different as soon as he heard the word "shoes" and "clothes" he zoned out, having no desire to listen to their latest cravings for a shopping spree…partly because that also meant Chloe asking him for money.
"So, Smallville…I got some bad news, where's Rikki and the girls? They need to hear this too" It took Clark a couple of seconds to realise that Lois was now referring to him and was in fact asking him a question.
"What…errr…I…" Clark stammered at a loss of words, now coming to the abrupt conclusion he had no idea what she had just asked him, as he placed the mug he had been playing with, back onto the counter in front of him.
"God Chloe I don't know how you put up with this plaid wearing farm boy…I couldn't do it, one day and I'd probably wind up killing the poor bloke…or myself" Lois retorted, first giving Clark a stern glare, before breaking into a smile when she looked over at Chloe who wore a matching expression.
"Thanks Lois, you'll be pleased to know that you wouldn't be my choice for the perfect partner either…I'd die from a mental breakdown with all your nagging before you had a chance to put up with me" Clark threw back, his look just as playful as Lois's.
Lois stood from her seat at the island table and moved into the living, expecting them follow her in, but not before punching Clark on the arm on her way.
"Ha ha Smallville"
As expected Clark and Chloe followed Lois on her way to the living room, watching her slump herself onto the sofa.
"So back to my unheard question…where are Rikki and the girls?" Lois asked emphasising her words as she still looked upon the tall man she once thought of as a geek …however her opinion of Clark had changed since then, she now saw him as the still annoying, but sincere love of her cousins life and for that she respected him for making Chloe so incredibly happy…yet she daren't let him know that.
"Upstairs I think…I'll go check" with that Clark disappeared up stairs to find the girls, thankful to be away from Lois and her bantering…Maybe I should just knock her out…one tap to the head and boom, peace and quiet Clark amusingly found himself thinking on his accent up the stairs, as he heard Lois's voice continue from the living room…God does that woman ever stop talking?
"Hello anyone in there?" Clark called knocking on the girl's bedroom door, waiting a couple of minutes, yet no reply. He decided to carefully open the door and check for himself, little to his surprise the room was empty.
"Great" Clark whispered to himself, closing the door and heading back to find Chloe.
After relaying this information with Lois, and receiving an annoying speech about how was it possible to lose three teenage girls on a farm, he decided to go check in the barn, hoping he would be able to find them before Lois completely lost it.
He walked through the large barn doors, scanning the area with his x-ray vision for any sign of the girls, quickly spotted them in the upper part of the barn. Before climbing the stairs to what was and still is his 'Fortress of Solitude', he heard his name mentioned in their conversation and didn't want to intrude in their privacy, but he thought of it as more of a caution than eves dropping.
Focusing his hearing on their conversation, he heard Cleo mention something about him moving faster than the eye could see…it was then he decided he had heard enough as he hurriedly climbed the stair two at a time, interrupting their conversation which had abruptly been stopped upon his presence being noticed.
"Girls…here you are, I've been looking for you. Rikki Lois is here, she wants all of you to come in the house…she has news to tell us all" Clark nervously rambled out as he sensed the uncomfortable atmosphere in the room.
"Ok, we're coming" Rikki almost whispered as she nudged Cleo and Emma, starting her way to the house, following just behind Clark.
God…what am I going to do? What did they see? Do they know about me, my abilities…I need to talk to Chloe about this…soon! Clark though to himself as he almost marched back to the house, his mind reeling with the possibilities of what he had just heard.
Sorry that i haven't left with much of a cliff-hanger here, but i am planning to trust me, in a chapter or two you will be shocked:D
