Chapter 20 - Princess in Shining Armor

Clark 2 panicked as he felt her rip his shirt and start touching his chest. He closed his eyes tightly, controlling his urge to grab her and just throw her off of him. He would probably wound her badly if he made a move like that. But something soft that he had just touched gave him an idea. He grabbed a pillow and shoved it at Lois's face, knocking her backward and just then the door opened or rather broke as someone had given it a forceful kick.

He looked up to see it was Diana who had kicked the door down. Sighing in relief, he covered his eyes with his hand and lay on the bed, as Diana walked in, grabbed Lois and pushed her against the wall.

"What the hell were you doing to him?" Diana demanded, her eyes glowing bright with fury. If she had her sword with her right now, she knew whose head would be on the floor next to her.

"Save it! He's interested in me!" Lois sneered.

Clark and Kara had just run in with Jimmy and when Kara's eyes fell on Clark 2's torn clothes, she ran to him and quickly grabbed the jacket Clark had thrown at her. "Here, let me help you!" Kara said, making Clark 2 sit up. She could see him try his hardest to control his tears from breaking loose. So all she did was pull him into a hug. Clark 2 buried his head against Kara's shoulder.

Clark was shaken. Could Lois really stoop so low? Forcing herself on Clarence? And he knew very well why Clarence hadn't pushed her away. He would have broken her bones or even killed her. But it sure looked like Diana was in a mood to finish her off. As he saw Diana's hand reach to grab Lois by her neck, Clark ran to her and pulled her back.

"No, Di!" He cried as she struggled in his arms. "Kara, let's get out of here. Come on, Clarence!"

"Let me go!" Diana shouted at him, struggling in his arms. But Clark had already pulled her out of the room. Kara helped Clark 2 out too. When Clark saw Jimmy standing still, looking dumbstruck, he said, "Sorry, man. I'm taking them home."

Jimmy simply nodded and turned to glare at Lois, who rolled her eyes at him and went back to join the party.

But Jimmy was not happy with that. "Lois, I think you should leave," he said sternly.

"Are you for real, Jimmy? Can't you see he was the one using me?" Lois shot back.

"I don't have a time for your bullshit, Lane. Get out of my house!"

Lois glared at him as she threw her drink over his face and she stormed out of the house.


Kara had her arm tucked under Clark 2's shoulder as she flew him back to Clark and Diana's apartment. The second they stepped in, he took off Clark's jacket, ripped his already torn shirt off and stormed into his room.

Clark and Kara exchanged concerned glances. They took a seat when they heard the shower running. Diana began pacing the room, huffing loudly.

"I think we should all go to Smallville for the night. He needs a distraction," Clark suggested. "And you need to calm down, Diana."

"Calm down? Did you see what that madwoman did to him? I will crush her, Kal! If she ever thinks of ever getting anywhere near Clark and you, I will finish her!"

Clark sighed loudly. "Di, stop this. I know you are angry with her, but we don't just kill anyone. She made a mistake, I'm sure she will pay the price someday. Rao knows."

"Hera! You really think God will teach her a lesson? All I need is my lasso and she will be confessing everything!"

They hadn't seen Clark 2 stepping back into the room. They only noticed him when he spoke, "Diana, please calm down. In my world she grabbed the last lifejacket and left me in the cold waters to die. Lane doing that was not surprising at all. I'm a bit shaken. Yes, I am. If I had reacted and tried to… tried to protect myself, I might have harmed her and outed us all."

"Right now I don't care if we were all outed, because that gives me a good reason to slay her."

"Diana!" Clark called out loudly. He walked to her, bent down and carried her off to their room. He kicked the door shut behind them.

Kara sighed. She could still hear every single word Clark was saying; there was no need to close the door. She got up and quickly made Clark 2 and herself some coffee. He gave her a small, grateful smile taking the cup from her.

When Clark and Diana stepped out ten minutes later, Diana apologized to them. Clark 2 couldn't help himself. He got up and gave her a hug. "Thank you, I don't know what I would have done if you weren't there for me."

Diana hugged him back. "There's always going to be a Diana for all the Clarks and Kals in every world." She looked at her Kal and smiled.

Clark gave her a bright smile before saying, "We should probably head to Smallville now. Kara, you coming?"

Kara shook her head. "Sorry, Clark. Gotta go home. My boy would will probably be hungry after his long run. I need to get him pizzas and potstickers for myself!" Smiling, she gave Clark 2 a quick hug, waved at the others and flew out of the balcony.


The flight to Smallville was fast and quiet. Clark had called his parents before they left, so Martha and Jonathan had been expecting them. The minute they walked in, Martha went to give Clark 2 a hug.

"Are you alright, dear boy?"

Clark 2 gave her a weak smile. "I am now."

Dinner was a quiet affair with Martha and Clark trying to make small talk. Jonathan looked worried as he saw Clark 2 barely eating his food. Diana seemed to be in some sort of daze, she kept playing with her food, not really eating it.

After dinner, Clark headed to his room upstairs. When he saw Diana walk in after him, he noticed she looked lost.

"What's up, Di?" Clark asked, walking to her and caressing her arms.

She looked away and said, "I need to talk to him. Alone."

Clark let out a sigh. He might be friends with Clark 2, but Diana wanting to talk to him alone at night just made him feel weird. Was he really jealous Clarence? But he also knew that Clark 2 needed to talk to someone, and Diana was always the best listener.

Leaning closer, he placed a soft kiss on her temple. "Go. Go to him."
