Chapter 7

He hadn't faced fear truly in the weeks that he had given up on his humanity, but Lois last question had sent chills down his spine as he slowly turned to face her.

"What makes you think I'm the blur?" he tried to pass off evasively but Lois pondered put a finger to her chin.

"Hmmm let me think…you dress like the blur, you have the symbol of the blur am I missing something…OH YEAH YOU FRICKING BLURRED AWAY RIGHT INFRONT OF ME!!…"

He remained silent knowing that it's best to let Lois vent out all of her anger before he could respond as she stepped closer.

"But you know what after all that revelation what really hurts me is that while I have been gone in god knows whatever rollercoaster I have been on for the past 3 weeks…" she takes a breath and then steps closer and stares right in his tired bloodshot eyes and then she continued more softly yet still with a hint of anger.

"…you of all people, the one person I trust with my whole life…decides to leave my cousin your BEST FRIEND having to face the grief of the loss of her husband all on her own…I mean please try and explain what went through that thick skull of yours when you decided to let everyone you care about alone?"

He remained silent for to her felt like eternity until he went to speak but hesitated and the darkness around his eyes returned and he turned once more to the window looking out into the night.

"I appreciate what you have done for me Miss Lane but I must find out why I have lost my powers otherwise the city is defenceless…"

Lois then manoeuvred herself back in his vision in front of the window which he tried to ignore but she spoke more hurt than anything.

"Miss Lane…is that all I am to you now?"

His lips tensed momentarily but his eyes still faced out of her glare when she finally grabbed his face with both of her hands and shoved his face to face hers and shouted.

"LOOK AT ME!!" she could feel him trying to fight her gaze but in his weaken state he couldn't fight her hardened grip.

"What has happened to you Clark??"

He finally grabbed her hands and slowly removed them from his and said with gritted teeth.

"I am Kal-El of Krypton and I am trying to fulfil my destiny…but you are holding me back!!"

Lois blinked a few times and after he released her hands she did something very unexpected from Kal-El's point of view as her fist hit him hard on his cheek and the last thing he remembered was hitting the ground…once again.
