Chapter 13

Damn, Clark thought, was she here all this time? Clark stood up, plastering a fake smile on his face. There was an awkward silence between the two of them.

"What happened?" Clark asked referring to her face. He knew it was because of Chloe, but his best friend did major damage to Lana's face.

"I don't remember, everything is just a blur. Anyway, how's Lois?"

"She's doing well. I know she's getting stronger and her injuries have healed. We're just waiting for her to wake up."

Clark sat down again offering Lana a chair. He was still wondering why Lana was here so he asked, "Why are you here, Lana?"

Lana was startled by his question, "I came to see Lois."

"Did you come to see Lois or to see me?"

"I came here to see Lois. The world doesn't revolve around you, Clark."

Clark shook his head, "Rrrrright…all of sudden you care about Lois' health? You came to see her once and the reason was that Lex was in the hospital as well. Now you're here again."

"You have the nerve."

Clark chuckled," Wait what? I have the nerve? You come in here telling me the world doesn't revolve around me. You're something Lana."

"What happened to us, Clark?" Lana asked not believing the man in front of her was her Clark.

"You really want to know?" Clark ran his hand through his hair, "I'll tell what happened to us. When you started messing around with Lex behind my back to find out my secret, when we couldn't tell each other the truth, that's when 'us' was gone. When I finally opened my eyes I realized that I love someone else. That's when 'us' was dead."

Lana was shocked and tears filled her eyes, "So you really do love her?"

"Yeah I do, with all my heart," Clark said taking Lois' left hand touching the ring on her finger.

Lana saw Clark holding Lois' hand and jealousy overwhelmed her. She was thinking about all the crap she had to do deal with. She got up and slapped him across the face but ended up hurting her hand. Clark was stunned. He faked pain when Lana finally looked at him.

"What the hell, Clark?"

"What the hell, Clark? You hit me! Look Lana I'm sorry you're hurt but, what can I say, I love Lois, end of story."

"Mr. Kent, would you like me to escort her off the premises," a man said referring to Lana.

Both Clark and Lana turned to look at the man. Lana's eyes widened because he was hot and looked familiar and Clark just looked confused, "Umm, yeah, sure."

Lana glared at Clark, "You can't kick me out like that."

"Actually he can. You can leave on your own or I could do it myself," the man said.

"Touch me and see what I'll do to you," Lana snapped.

The man just laughed. He walked up to Lana, picked her up by the shoulders and carried her out of the hospital even though the Lana was hitting him.

Clark just stood there stunned. When the man came back his arms were crossed with a smile on his face.

The two men stared at each other. Clark was the first to break the silence, "Who are you?"

The man stepped in the room smiling, "My name is Calvin Garcia. Chloe sent me here."

"Chloe? You look familiar, but how does Chloe know you?"

Calvin straightened his jacket out, "Chloe knows me because of Bruce. I look familiar because you might have seen me in the magazines or whatever, I'm an entrepreneur."

Clark offered Calvin a seat and took a seat as well, "Why are you here then?"

"I'm here to help and to bring down Lex Luthor," the younger man said.

"What has he done to you?" Clark asked.

"That is one thing I don't want to talk about, but anyway I'm here to help. Chloe told me about Lois' condition and everything else that is going on. I do many things especially when it comes to devices, chemicals and what not. I will keep an eye on this Dr. Spencer for you while you, Chloe and Bruce concentrate on the case."

"Can I really trust you?" Clark asked still skeptical.

"You have my word, ask Chloe and Bruce," Calvin said.

"All right I believe you," Clark said shaking the young man's hand, "Don't make me regret it."

Calvin smiled showing his dimples, "I won't. We will find out who this Dr. Spencer really is. Oh, was that your ex earlier?"

"Yeah, why?"

Calvin shook his head, "She's a real bch. Girl tried to kick me in the groin when I put her down, that's not cool."

Clark laughed, "Yeah, she's really changed."

"Well it happens. I'll see what I can find on this doctor."

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet until sleeping beauty over there wakes up," Calvin said leaving.

Clark rested his head on the side of Lois' bed. Clark thought this guy looked so familiar. Realization hit him. Calvin was in his dream! He wondered if those events would really happen and that if they did, would he really be with Lois? Would they really be couple? Would he be happy? There were so many questions but none were answered and he knew he was running out of time…
