Chapter 10
Sticks and Stones
Clark stopped in front of his house and looked at it as he caught his breath. He smiled briefly ad then walked into his house. He stepped into the kitchen and before he was able to say anything, he heard his mom say, "Clark!"
She hugged him tightly and let go as Jonathan went to hug Clark. "Did you find it?" Jenny asked giving him a tight hug.
"Yes I did," Clark said with triumph as he hugged Lana, "And I am ready to say that it is no longer a problem."
"So tell me Clark," Jonathan asked crossing his arms over his chest. "I have been wondering this for quite a long time. What is the K'Larta exactly?"
Clark took a cup from the cupboard and filled it with tap water. He took a sip of it and then answered, "The K'Larta was an artifact from Krypton. It gave someone the ability to control time and matter."
"To think the horror they would have caused if they had gotten hold of the K'Larta," Jenny said with a shocked look on her face.
"Who is they?" Martha asked looking at Jenny.
"The Belreeve escapees," Lana shuttering when she thought of what they can do and what hey did to her, Clark, and Jenny.
"What do you think they wanted it for, except for the obvious?" Martha asked watching Clark fill up another glass of water.
"I am not sure exactly," Clark said shaking his head, "All I know is that the K'Larta is destroyed and we don't have to worry about it anymore."
"There is one more thing," Jonathan said approaching Clark. He took a deep breath and braced himself for what was about to come. He knew Clark would not lie what he was going to say. "Lex knows your secret," He said.
Clark felt as if his world was going to explode. He began to breathe irregularly as he took a few steps back toward the sink. "What…. How….?" He stammered his vision beginning to grow blurry.
"I am so sorry," Jonathan said softly approaching his son, "Lex walked in as your mom and I were talking. He wants to help and wants for you to trust him."
Clark looked at his father teary eyed. "What am I gonna do?" He asked softly.
"Try to trust him," Martha said approaching Clark, "I have never seen him so worried in my life. He is going to do everything in his life to fix this out."
"But I don't trust," Clark said shaking his head, his worst fear coming true. "I can't trust him and more so I don't want to trust him."
"And you shouldn't trust him right away," Jonathan said placing a reassuring hand on his son's shoulder, "At least not until he has proven himself."
Later that night, while Clark's parents and Lana, who was sleeping in Clark's old room, Jenny and Clark was talking in the barn. Jenny sat on the couch, while Clark stared at the moon through his telescope. After Clark had found out about Lex' knowledge about his secret, Clark had shut himself in the barn and wasn't talking to anyone. Jenny looked at him and asked, "Are you sure you are okay?"
"I'm fine," Clark said bluntly himself not meaning it and Jenny knowing he didn't mean it either.
Jenny stood up and approached him. She hugged him from behind and leaned her head against his shoulder. Clark stood up straight and sighed. He knew he was being irrational. He should give Lex a chance. "I'm sorry," Clark said softly staring at the stars through the barn window.
"It's okay," Jenny said trying to cheer Clark up, "I am glad you are alright. I was so worried about you."
Clark turned and held Jenny tightly. He looked at her and saw a concerned and a relieved look on her face. "No one will hurt you or Lana anymore," Clark said placing a hand on Jenny's cheek.
Jenny sighed and cuddled up against Clark's strong body. "Who will protect you?" She asked in a worried tone.
"You don't have to worry about that," Clark said smiling at Jenny, "I will be fine."
"I can't help it," Jenny said her eyes beginning to grow teary. "Every time they hit you and all the pain you were in there."
Clark leaned and kissed Jenny deeply. Jenny sagged against Clark and reached up as she ruffled through his thick hair. They broke apart to breathe for a few seconds and Jenny looked into Clark's eyes. "Your eyes are so sexy," Jenny said kissing Clark again.
She turned and slowly pushed him to the couch. Clark moaned in pleasure as he pulled of her shirt tossing it aimlessly on the floor next to the couch. Jenny smiled at Clark seductively and pulled off his shirt. Clark turned and kissed Jenny on the neck. He slowly made his way back to her lips and then kissed her deeply exploring her mouth with her tongue and her tongue exploring his.
Jenny moaned and pressed her body tightly against Clark, already feeling his manly excitement. Clark liked the feeling of her erect nipples against his bare chest. Clark began to kiss her neck again and slowly made his way toward her collar bone, as he cupped her breasts. "Oh my god!" Jenny said in shock looking directly at the mirror behind Clark, "I never knew you had a tattoo."
"I don' have a tattoo and it is impossible for me to get one, needles can't puncture my skin," Clark said looking at his reflection in the mirror. To his shock though, he had a tattoo in between his shoulder blades.
"What is it exactly?" Jenny asked biting her bottom lip nervously.
"I don't know," Clark said looking at the tattoo of a crescent moon, with a lightning bolt going across it and the upper part of the letter 'Y' on its tip. "But it can't be good at all."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Lex set his empty glass on his desk beside is computer. He stared at the image of the K'larta as he leaned back in his chair. The whereabouts of the K'Larta were still unknown, which annoyed Lex. Every time he got a little closer in finding the K'Larta. Another imposing obstacle would come and perplex Lex and his scientists even more.
Lex stood up and grabbed his empty glass. He refilled it with scotch and took a sip as his cell phone rang. "What is the problem?" Les asked knowing who had called.
"They aren't there," The security guard said walking out of the building as he placed gun in his holster.
"What do you mean they aren't there?" Lex asked setting his glass next to his bottle of scotch.
"We searched the building twice thoroughly and there was no sign of Clark nor Lana," The guard said walking up to his car.
Maybe Clark found a way to escape," Lex said thinking about Clark using his abilities to escape. "Listen I want you to keep two guys there in case some one shows up, the rest of you should return to your posts."
Lex closed his phone and too another sip of his scotch. "Of course they aren't there," Lex heard a girl say. He looked around his office, but didn't see anyone. "With someone as all omnipotent as Clark is, of course he is going to escape."
"Where is he?" Lex asked still looking around his empty office. If it weren't Smallville and all its infamous paranormal instances, then he would have thought he was going crazy. "Clark is just a high school boy."
"Oh you have no idea how powerful Clark really is," The girl laughed evilly.
"Well then," Lex said making his way toward his desk, "Can you enlighten my then?"
"IF you are looking for your gun," The girl giggled seductively sending a shiver down Lex' spine, "You aren't going to find it by yourself and if you did have a gun, what are you going to shoot what you can't see. I thought you were smarter than that dearest Lexy."
"What are you talking about?" Lex asked opening his desk drawer despite what the mysterious girl had said. To his surprise he was wrong and there indeed was no gun in the drawer.
"You have to start trusting people," The mysterious girl said appearing behind Lex with a gun pointed at the back of his neck.
"I know that voice," Lex said turning to face Sarah. "It has been too long."
"Indeed it has," Sarah said with a hint of anger in her tone. She growled and struck Lex with the butt of the gun. "You never thought about consequence Lex. All those damn tests and yet," Sarah paused and began to pace menacingly around Lex, "Everything you put me through. Did you ever think what it could do to me personally?"
Lex turned painfully and looked at Sarah. Blood trailed from his forehead down his nose. "I am so sorry," He said gasping in pain as head his felt heavy and the world began to spin.
"You are sorry!" Sarah shouted angrily kicking Lex in the face, "You had me strapped to a bed with some kind of green liquid being pumped into me for a whole month." Sara stopped pacing and pointed the gun at Lex. "Your apology means nothing, but your death," She smiled and then continued, "Oh that will me something."
The doors to the office opened up and in walked Brett and Greg. "Sarah darling," Greg shouted running up to Sarah, "Stop it."
"I should kill him now," Sarah threatened through clenched teeth, "Oh I would enjoy it so much. All the blood shooting out from his head when I shoot him, it would make a sweet revenge."
"We need him," Greg said taking a step toward Sarah, "Lex being dead is worthless."
"Not to mention," Brett said looking at Lex, "Lionel won't be happy."
"Even with what he did to all of us," Sarah said with the gun pointed at Lex' head, "All those damn tests."
Greg looked at Sarah in the eye and said, "Killing him right now won't give you the satisfaction." He paused and took a few steps toward Sarah cautiously, "A quick death is not the best revenge, plus it is too good for Lex." Sarah smiled a little bit but still had the gun aimed at Lex' head, "Everything is ready for him and he will now regret ever putting us through those tests."
Sarah's smile grew wider as she lowered the gun. "You are right my love," Sarah said pushing the safety button on the gun. She lifted up the front her shirt and put the gun in her pants having the shirt block out the weapon, "But I get to keep the gun." She looked at Lex and kicked him in the face hard again. Lex flew on to his back and darkness over took him. Sarah turned and looked at Greg, "His worst nightmare is about to come true."
