Chapter Three Part Four- Weakness:

One Week Ago…

Clark stared at the cement ground nervously as the loft window was spread wide open giving the farm boy a clear view of the sky.

"All you have to do is close your eyes and focus on being weightless and free." Lois's voice called out from behind him as Clark just turned back towards her with a nervous look on his face.

"What if I do learn how to fly and I end up crashing into a plane?"

She couldn't help but roll her eyes as she stepped towards the edge of the loft window saying, "Just think of it like your super jump, the velocity at which your traveling by can be controlled with body movements, like keeping your hands at your sides to sort of glide through the clouds or maybe holding one hand up in the air to speed towards your intended destination."

Clark just ran his fingers through his hair and proceeded to turn and walk away saying, "We don't have time for this and I've got chores to do."

Lois blocks his pathway towards the stairs and places her hands on his chest saying, "Don't you think that this will give you a better advantage against the people who seem to show up daily with superpowers, you could swoop in take them out then up, up and away."

He mulls the subject over in his mind and just shakes his head negatively, "I don't see the point trying this if I don't even have the ability to fly, I could hurt someone."

She responded with a frustrated groan at the Clark's blatant attempts to avoid the subject, so she just did the only thing that came natural to her.

Clark found Lois's hands on the fabric of his red shirt as she proceeded to drag him back towards the loft window, "You've got to learn that human beings aren't breakable, we've got just as much heart and strength as another other person in this galaxy."

She pushed him towards the edge and continued saying, "Beside, flying is the safest way to travel…statistically speaking anyway."

Before Clark could respond he found himself shoved out the window and sent tumbling towards the ground, the loud metallic boom sent Lois rushing towards the edge to see Clark staring back at her from the hood of the family tractor.

A small chuckle escaped her mouth before responding, "I guess we should've started with training wheels first."

Clark was snapped out of the memory of Lois's failed attempts at getting him to fly when he stopped inside Dr. Fine's office to find it empty excepts for the files that stood on the doctor's desk.

His eyes trailed through the enclosed room until he walked towards the desk only to see Lois in the bottom right hand part of the screen as the giant needles grew closer to puncturing her skin.

Panic set in before he sped through the glass door housing the procedure room where he rips off the glass casing housing Lois only to be gassed with a kryptonite causing weakness to spread through him and almost fall to the ground before Dr. Fine decided to hit in him the face with a tray sending him down to the ground in pain.

Lois managed to get out of her straps and kick Dr. Fine in the face before she could successfully carve Clark up like a thanksgiving turkey, "Are you okay?" she asks softly to the fallen farm boy who nodded weakly.

"Let's get you out of here." she says to him as they proceed to head out towards the door but not before Lois managed to knock Dr. Fine out with one more kick.

"Bitch" she says towards the doctor who slumped to the floor of her procedure room.

Smallville High- The Next Day:

SKIN DEEP by Lois Lane, was the headline that read on the front page as Lois scanned through the Torch until the sound of Chloe's voice knocked her out from her own little world, "Admiring another achievement?"

"Despite the typo and the fact that I would've ended up in Belle Reeve if it wasn't for Clark, I think it's a good start of the school year."

Chloe couldn't help but smirk at her cousin's comments, "Isn't always strange how Clark is always around to save the day?"

Lois turned her attention towards her cousin and just responded, "He's a strange one but its nice to know that we've got backup whenever we get captured by the psychos…"

The spunky blonde editor finished her eldest cousins sentence, "or the crazed stalkers."

Chloe and Lois have a good laugh that is soon interrupted when several of the cheerleaders walk towards Lois exclaiming, "Have you thought about our offer to rejoin the squad?"

Lois turns back towards Chloe tries her best to suppress a laugh until Lois nudges her with an elbow and responds back to the cheerleaders, "I'm still thinking it over."

The head cheerleader leans towards Lois saying, "These types of offers just don't come around once in a lifetime and when you decide that you want to be somebody then you let us know."

The trio of cheerleaders push past the cousins causing another laugh fest followed by bad yet slightly comedic imitations, Chloe turns back towards her cousin and says "Do you want to go to the pep rally?"

Lois makes a slightly disgusted face before responding, "I'd rather start on my next story."

Chloe's smile grows mischievous, "Suit yourself but I'm off to see Clark Kent in a wet T-shirt…"

The army brat couldn't help but chuckle at her cousin's attempts to get her to participate and just chased after her responding, "Like I've never seen that before."

Smallville High Boys Locker Room- Hours Later

Who would have thought that Lois could throw a perfect spiral straight towards the target that sent him straight down into the water of the annual dunk tank often used to help raise school spirit and give people the chance to humiliate the jocks or the cheerleaders.

The cold water from the dunk tank just dripped from his wet t shirt and soaked red trunks as he peeled the shirt from his body causing ripples of water to trail down his muscular back.

"Clark?" A feminine voice called from the locker room entrance which caused Clark to bang his head against the red locker door with a loud THUD.

A familiar chuckle and the fact that Lois's head popped out towards him saying, "Do you not know how to dress yourself, Smallville?"

He just shook his head while he tossed his white shirt onto the yellow towel behind him, "Haven't we already discussed the requirements to be in here?"

She rolled her eyes, "Relax, everyone is still at the rally. I don't see the harm in being in here if its just you"

"That's really comforting to know that you don't see me as one of the guys." Clark says sarcastically while he grabs his jeans and proceeds to walk towards the equipment cage which housed most of the sporting equipment like wrestling mats which blocked his lower half from Lois' prying eyes.

"I didn't mean it like that, its just that we've been friends for so long that I don't see the problem."

Clark appeared with his tight jeans on as he put his shorts on the yellow towel along with his shirt before he wrapped the wet clothes together and threw them into his duffel bag where they would join his other clothes at the laundry at home.

"You know what the problem is and I don't appreciate it when you pass of what happened between us like it never happened…" he says while grabbing his white undershirt unaware that his words had struck a cord with Lois.

Lois has had enough of all the drama going on since she returned and she decided to let her frustration be known, so she stood up to him face to face saying "We've already had the relationship conversation and I don't want to have it again, we've both moved on with other people so I don't see why you keep bringing up the past."

Clark didn't think as he grabbed the back of her head and crashed his lips to hers, all the years of wanting and waiting had exploded in that one kiss that was soon returned by Lois whose hands found their way towards his chest.

Their tongues fought for dominance as Lois was slammed against the lockers with her long legs wrapped tightly around Clark's waist, the heat and tug of war going on between them soon knocked Lois back to reality when she felt Clark's hands trail under her shirt and brush past her stomach.

Her hands pushed him away and she immediately felt the lose of warmth from the farm boy who was still in a daze over what he had just done, the daze however soon ended when Lois slapped him across the face and proceeded to walk out of the locker room but not before exclaiming, "Damn you and your hormones, Kent!"

When the door slammed, Clark slumped against the locker doors with a cocky smirk on his face.

Things were certainly going to be different this year….

TBC…
