Anyway, quick note for this chap:
The last small section has been written by a good friend of mine Pat,
otherwise known as BlueBottle1991 on here. He wanted to write a lil bit of SV
so i let him do that bit for me, he is mega excited that i put it in here so any nice comments are appreciated
So anyway, on wiv the story...
"Wait stop…back track a couple of powers…if you can do all of this and fly, stop me if I'm sounding crazy but are you…Superman
"Wait stop…back track a couple of powers…if you can do all of this and fly, stop me if I'm sounding crazy here, but are you…Superman?" Emma asked bewildered, her previous familiarities coming to this final conclusion.
"Well, yes" Clark answered floating back down and placing Chloe back to her feet, amused that it had actually taken them this long to figure it out.
"And we thought our secret was big" Cleo muttered, walking towards Clark, now seeing him in a completely different way, now fully aware what attracted Chloe to this magnificent being.
Clark's eyes followed Cleo as she circled him; he began to feel a little uncomfortable. He felt as though he was in a zoo, a wild animal being watched in anticipation for his next trick. Something there merely to amuse and supply to the publics need to study things of which they do not understand.
Chloe must have noticed his uncomfortable reaction, she stepped forward and stood before Clark's larger frame, his entire being towering her own small proportions. Clark felt himself ease as Chloe shielded him from the girls incessant staring, although her small body was nothing more than a figure in his path, he felt safer with her there than he would ever feel in his life, her aura infused him with strength, her love guided him when he needed help, her connection a drug that his soul cannot refuse, he needed her as much as she needed him and neither were willing to deny that need.
"I think that's enough tonight, I think we all must be tired after all what's happened" Chloe proposed, all the while thinking of Clark's well being.
"Yer I suppose you're right…I'm sorry about the staring it's just well…we've never met an alien before" Emma felt she needed to apologise, picking up on Chloe's protective stance over Clark.
"You have no idea how strange that sounds coming from a mermaid" Clark added chuckling slightly desperate to change the atmosphere in the room.
"Well goodnight, we'll see you in the morning" Cleo started, heading towards the stairs, Emma not far behind.
"Thanks Clark for ya know…sharing that with us, it must have taken a lotta guts to do that…just to let you know we appreciate it, you trusting us that is" Rikki felt compelled to say something, after all it wasn't everyday that someone tells you their life's biggest secret, and she knew something about keeping secrets.
"Thank you Rikki and I wouldn't have told you if I didn't think I could trust you" Clark responded, his heart warming to the young girl, she definitely wasn't anything like Lois when it came to people, well…most of the time.
Rikki smiled and continued to follow Cleo and Emma upstairs.
Clark had woken early the next morning, with all the stress and news from yesterday, he couldn't concentrate, the previous conversations were still fresh in his mind.
He was still worried how Rikki and the others were going to react to his secret. He felt sure that they would understand, he just felt uneasy knowing that someone else now knew his secret. More than anything he didn't want them to get in trouble or worse, hurt because of him.
So he decided that farm chores would be the perfect thing to keep his mind off of things. He set out ready to tackle the many jobs ahead of him, but to no surprise they only took away 3 minutes of the long stressful day ahead of him.
He was just in the middle of loading the last of the haystacks back into the barn when he was startled out of his thoughts with a pair of hands covering his eyes.
"Guess who?" A familiar voice asked form behind him. "And no cheating!" the same voice added grouchily still their hands firmly in place over Clark's eyes.
"Me cheat? I would never do such a thing Chloe" Clark teased, feeling a flutter in his stomach at the mere touch of Chloe's skin on his.
"No course you wouldn't? You never play along" Chloe pouted, dropping her hands dramatically at her sides, her bottom lip pushing out even further as Clark turned to face her.
"I'm sorry…how about you play my game instead?" Clark proposed, a sly smile covering his face, a similar one now creeping across Chloe's.
"What game would that be?" Chloe slurred out seductively, moving closer to the love of her life, allowing him to slide his hands under her legs and lift her easily into his strong arms.
"You'll just have to wait and find out" Clark added, Chloe never ceasing to amaze him, when she looked down and noticed they were now hovering high above the ground, heading in the direction of Clark's barn room.
"Can you actually believe it though?" Cleo said out loud her question not intended for anyone in particular.
"Suppose we have to, I mean it isn't that different from our situation, except the whole from another planet thing and the multiple powers and the invulnerable bit…huh" Emma started, her argument failing ever the more as she continued.
"This is…freakin awesome! No really, think about it, us three mermaids, mermaids that should only exist in fairytales and myths, come to a small town in Kansas and meet above all things an ALIEN! Am o the only one who thinks this is amazing…it's practically impossible" Rikki excited pacing the small confines of their bedroom.
"I guess you're right…it is pretty amazing" Cleo agreed, a genuine smile spreading over her face.
"Can you imagine Lewis right now, he would probably have died from a brain overload or something" Rikki joked, at first receiving a hurt glare from Cleo, but her expression quickly changed as she though about Rikki's suggestion and came to the same conclusion.
"I wish we could tell him, this would like make his year, no his LIFE!" Cleo sighed, only reminding herself how much she missed him.
"Don't worry Cleo, it wont be long and you can see him again, but as for telling him, we can't. It isn't our secret to tell, we should feel grateful that Clark decided to tell us at all. I know our secret was big, but think how he must have felt telling us something like that. He's an alien think what the Government would do to him, they would push us away like an annoyance on their on going hunt for the unexplainable" Emma lectured both her friends, stepping into her motherly role easily.
"I never really thought of it that way" Rikki said sitting on the bed besides Cleo.
"We have to respect Clark's trust in us"
"I know, but we can still talk about it right?" Cleo asked her face lighting up.
"Yer I spose" Emma answered not sure where Cleo was going with this.
"Did you see how STRONG he was…oh my god I nearly died!" Cleo exasperated Rikki and Emma sighing at the observation of Cleo's obvious attraction to Clark, not objecting none the less.
"What about the flying?" Rikki suggested, all three girls bursting into laughter. This was going to be an interesting visit.
Cleo was sat in the living room watching anything she could find on TV, Rikki was sat upside down besides her, her head hanging off the edge of the sofa and Emma was in the armchair reading a book.
"There's nothing on" Cleo whined, flicking through the many channels, board beyond belief.
Rikki merely muttered to her wingding. Kicking her legs playfully over the back of the sofa.
"I'm thirsty…Emma pass me my drink" Cleo groaned, reaching out her arms, obviously too far away to reach her glass.
"Get it your self, I'm reading…I can't believe how lazy you are sometimes" Emma retorted back, stuffing her nose back into her book.
"Book worm" Cleo muttered under her breath, smiling innocently as Emma's eyes peeked over the top. Sighing in frustration Cleo decided to do things the lazy way; she lifted her hand, shot her palm forwards and watched in satisfaction as a small pebble of water from her glass danced across the air and floated right into her mouth.
Chloe had came from the kitchen and walked into the living room, greeted with the sight of Cleo manipulating water from her glass to her mouth. She stood in fascination, enjoying the refreshment of witnessing some powers different to that of Clark's no matter how inadequate they may be to his.
"A bit lazy don't you think?" Chloe chimed up from her silent position in the doorway.
Cleo lost her concentration as Chloe's words startled her, the present bit of water dropping to the floor as her control over it wavered.
"Ooops sorry, you surprised me; I didn't hear you come in. And I like to think of it as practice, not laziness" Cleo smiled, watching Chloe enter the room and slouch into the chair by the fireplace.
"Ah ha, so that's what they're callin it these days" Chloe laughed, noticing Rikki concentrating on the wet patch on the carpet, steam rising from the spot, then it was dry.
"Thanks, you didn't need to do that" Chloe added, nodding towards the now dry carpet.
"Don't mind, bored as hell, anything for me to do" Rikki replied honestly.
"RIKKI!" Emma shouted sternly from the corner, when she heard her answer.
"No really its fine Emma, I agree actually, why are we sat indoors on such a nice day? I know, why don't I give Lois a call, she might be able to get the rest of the day off work" Chloe suggested, the girls faces lighting up at the prospect.
"That's a good idea, it's a shame she is working all the time, I really wanted to spend more time with her" Rikki spoke up from her position on the fofa, receiving funny looks from everyone in the room. "What, she is my sister"
"Fine…let me go and give her a call" Chloe stood and left the living room, smiling to herself, I hope Lois realises what a special sister she has.
Lois had jumped at the chance to spend more time with the girls and convinced Perry to give her a couple of days off. She was so thrilled she even suggested they stay at her house for the night.
It took her a while to get back to Smallville, but when she did the girls were ready and raring to go, excited about staying over with Lois.
"Come on then, we don't want to get caught up in traffic" Lois belted up the stairs, joining Clark and Chloe out by the car.
"Are you sure you don't mind taking the girls for the night?" Clark queried again, not wanting to say anything to Lois because she would never let it down, but he did enjoy having extra company around the house, reminds him of when his parents used to be there.
"Course I am, why you gunna miss sharing your bathroom Smallville?" Lois teased, putting on a baby like voice, watching him squirm under her words.
"Very funny Lois, here they come…now be good and Lois remember what we talked about, it isn't ok for you to scare the children with old photographs, you don't want to put them off having babies just yet" Clark threw back, avoiding her next snarky comment as he helped the girls with their bags.
"HAHA…you wait til next time Smallville, I'll get ya back…be careful that full moon tonight might turn me into a werewolf and I'll come and eat you" Lois joked, slamming her car door shut before Clark could retaliate.
"Wait tonight's the full moon?" Rikki asked, concern wavering her voice.
"This isn't gunna go well" Cleo said looking from Rikki and Emma, their faces sullen and frightened.
Clark lay in bed returning a text to his mum in Washington, updating her on the slow ins and outs of the farm life. Clark moved his legs occasionally moving to a fresh, cool part of the bed. The curtain fluttered briefly and the wind blew in the open window from the cool night. Clark finished the text and put his phone down on the table next to the bed and got up to change the window. He wore a just a pair of shorts and he stood for a moment at the window, behind the curtain, and let the moonlight play across his chest and he gazed up into its full face. He was still there when Chloe entered.
"It seems strange without the girls here. Will they be ok with Lois?" asked Chloe from the other side of the curtain.
"Yeah, they'll be fine. They could all do with some more bonding time" he replied as he shut the window on the cool, gentle night and left the moonlight to play in the yard. He was about to come out from behind the curtain when Chloe spoke again.
"You'd look better without the shorts Clark." He pulled the curtain aside and stepped forwards into the room and took in the scene in an instant before shutting his eyes tightly before the entire house caught fire.
"Sit down Clark. Next to me." Said Chloe, a very playful tone in her voice and he heard the slight paff as she lightly tapped the cover. Clark kept his eyes shut for a moment longer and took a few deep breaths to calm him and make sure he wouldn't incinerate anything.
Chloe lay front down on the bed, propped up on her elbows and resting her chin on her hands while she lightly swung her feet gong from the bed to just above her bum. She smiled playfully and bit her bottom lip before saying,
"You look really good." She reached out for the draw strings on the front of Clark's shorts and gently guided him onto his knees next to the bed. She rolled over onto her back reached up and linked her arms behind his head. Clark looked down into her face in time to catch another smile as it danced over Chloe's soft lips. He felt her fingers ruffle the back of his hair and she said
"Clark, you know the girls are out, and we are all alone…"
Well...What did ya think?
