Chapter Two Part Four- Trio:

Chloe is struggling against the ropes which bound her hands together suspended above a hook while you could see that who ever had kidnapped the younger of the Sullivan-Lane cousins had whacked her in the head good and bound her mouth with silver duct tape.

She struggles until finally she manages to hook her legs around a beam which brought the hook lower towards the ground and gave her an easier escape and the freedom to rip the tape from her mouth.

Her gaze staggered around the old foundry until she spotted an exit, it was then that the young blonde reporter made a break for it only to be re-captured by the medieval psychopath known as Trent.

His hand morphs into a vice which begins to strangle Chloe until the reflection of Clark Kent was clearly seen in the blade, Trent throws Chloe to the ground and turns to face Clark only to be thrown a clear ten feet behind the young farm boy who confidently and furiously strides towards the meteor freak.

The vice morphed quickly into a blade as Trent swung towards him only to have Clark use his forearms to block the blows causing the sleeves of his red flannel to rip, a spark is seen from the blade when it connects with another forearm block from Clark who then decides to punch Trent in the chest only to slip through him when his body morphs into a liquid type metal.

Clark's baby blues go wide when his face almost made contact with the boiling vat of red liquid metal, he turns to see Trent ready to strike and prepares to take the blow but is even more shocked when an electrical current coming from none other then Lois Lane, who aimed the giant electric gun towards him with a determined look on her face.

It took just one shot of heat vision to overload Trent who then blew up and his metallic chunks fell into the red liquid and melted away.

Lois threw the gun to the floor while blowing the bangs out of her face, "Looks like a saved you ass again, Smallville."

Clark just rises to his feet ignoring the comment and rushed towards the unconscious Chloe calling until the two embraced in a friendly hug.

The reunion between didn't last between Chloe and Clark because the spunky blonde reporter's eyes locked onto the sight of Lois as she tried to fight off the tears.

"Lois? W-What are you doing here?" Chloe says while her and Lois embrace in a tight hug both near tears but desperately trying not to show it.

"Putting the worst two months of my life behind me." Lois pulls away with that signature smirk on her face, "I'm so glad I found you."

Clark immediately looked at them surprised and just cuts in saying, "I"

The cousins turn and just laugh at Clark's face, "If you guys don't mind, I'd really like to get out of here."

Lois and Clark just replied in unison, "Yeah" before escorting Chloe out towards the exit and into the daylight.

Metropolis Courthouse- Two Days Later…

Chloe stood in front of the mirror making sure that her outfit looked court appropriate while Lois and Clark sat in the background watching her, "Okay, you guys need to stop staring at me like that."

Clark just crossed his arms over his chest and was about to speak but instead was cut off by Lois who said, "Do you seriously expect us to believe that you didn't know that Lex had faked your death until it was too late?"

Chloe responded by shaking her head negatively, "My father and I had no clue, we were just as surprised as you were."

"Well you could've still left us some sort of clue."

Clark cuts in saying, "Like what? Breadcrumbs?"

The army brat turns and gives him a deathly stare before replying, "I was think of something like an email instead of a goodbye video."

Clark couldn't help but reply back, "Is that right?"

The two were soon interrupted from the usual banter by a knock on the door causing all three to turn and see one of General Lane's escorts pop his head in saying, "Ms. Sullivan, you have a visitor."

He opens the door wide enough for Lana Lang to walk in, the two friends embrace while Clark was left in a state of surprise since the last time he saw her was at the airport hugging Lex Luthor goodbye.

The look in his eyes didn't get past Lois who just walked towards Lana and accepted the friendly hug, after much reuniting and talking the three women just turned to head out but not before turning towards Clark who stood there silent as always.

"Are you coming, Smallville?" Lois asks and notices Clark gulping before nodding and heading out after the trio of girls.

Hours passed until the jury convicted Lionel Luthor to life in prison and sentenced him to spend the rest of his days at the Metropolis Prison.

Everyone left the stairs of the courthouse happy, Chloe and Lois walked towards the reporters so that Chloe could give her statement to them while Clark and Lana walked down the steps together nervous to find the right words.

"So, how long will you be back in Smallville?"

Lana just shrugged, "I'm thinking of finishing senior year then pack up my things and leave Smallville behind…for good."

Clark shoved his hands into his pockets still nervous, "You must have found what you were looking for."

Lana just turned her attention towards Chloe and Lois trying not to bring the subject of her summer romance with Jason Teague to Clark, "It's funny, isn't it. That after all these years, your still in love with her."

He looked at her surprised but Lana just flashed a small smile, "I knew that I never stood a chance in having a relationship with you. There were too many secrets and too many unresolved feelings that just got in the way."

Lana leaned in and kissed Clark on the cheek before turning to walk down the steps but not before turning back to face Clark one last time saying, "You always remember that first love, but when the right person comes along all you know is what you feel in your heart is right. Its best not to fight what will unavoidably happen, you just have to make the leap."

The farm boy watched Lana Lang walk away from him again while he was unaware that Lois and Chloe were both watching from afar.

Kwatche Caves- Night:

Clark stared up at the crack in the cave wall, memories of the chamber behind it flashed before his eyes along with memories of how the clouds parted upon his arrival and the feeling of being free from the world that surrounded him.

"I've never seen cave paintings like this before…" Lois's voice calls out from behind causing the young farm boy to face her startled by her arrival.

"L-Lois? Shouldn't you be with Chloe and your uncle Gabe?" Clark asked while mentally hitting himself for stuttering.

Lois just trailed her flashlights upon all the paintings saying, "Mrs. Kent said that I could find you here, she told me about the conversation you had with your parents about Lex being your destined enemy." she chuckles at the last part which just causes Clark to look at her confused.

"You don't believe in destiny?"

She shook her head negatively, "I've always thought that the future wasn't set in stone. I mean, we were put on this Earth for a reason and that reason wasn't to wait for things to happen when we shape can shape our own fate."

He stared at her surprised and she just smirked, "I can have my own philosophical moments too…" her eyes look around as she continues, "So all these paintings tell the story of Naman and Sageeth. Two friends turned enemies, one destined to save the world and the other to destroy it."

Clark once against was surprised, "H-How did you know?"

Lois turned her head to look at him and just smirked, "Bruce helped donated some Kwatche items to Professor Willowbrook."

At the mention of her ex, tension rose between them until Lois looked towards a small corner of the wall asking, "Who's that suppose to be?"

Clark's eyes dragged up towards the cave painting of the woman with the symbol of Kyla's bracelet, he walked towards her and replied "That's the woman that Naman is fated to be with, Kyla taught me all about the legends and the paintings on the wall."

Lois just stared at the image entranced, "Do you honestly believe that your Naman?"

He struggled with his answer, "I'm just Clark Kent. Not Naman or Kal-El. Just plain old mild mannered Clark Kent."

She started to laugh while she turned to face him saying, "A mild mannered farm boy who also masquerades as a superhero that's able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, more powerful then a locomotive and faster then a speeding bullet."

"Well when you put it like that…" Clark says plastering on a smirk that just caused Lois to punch him in the arm for the sarcastic comeback.

An idea then popped into Lois's head as she was quick to grab Clark's hand and drag him out of the caves, "Its time for you to fly, wonder boy."
