Angela hated parties like this but she had agreed to go with Lex to the charity gala in Luthor Hall at the Metropolis museum. Standing beside Clark and Lex she smiled seeing his ethusiasm about the jewel crusted armor in front of him.

"It belonged to Alexander the great, a man I admire,"

"It's remarkable," Angela replied as she slid her hand around Lex's bicep.

"Stunning," Clark said liking the use of the blue and red for the armor.

"Hey guy's,"

"Hey Lana," they replied respectfully.

"Would you like to join us Clark?,"

"No thank you I'm going to go get some air," Clark said taking off outside away from Lana and Whitney.

"So how did your family come to have some of these pieces love?,"

"Bought from private collections after owners died, auctions, and trades,"

"Sounds so easy, but your collection is amazing Lex,"

"Thank you love," Lex smiled as he pulled Angela into a tender kiss.

Outside the museum

Clark made his way outside he couldn't deal with the whole Lana thing tonight he was only there to support Lex and Angela not see her. He felt strongly for her but as long as she was with Whitney he knew he couldn't have her.

Looking to the side of the steps of the museum he couldn't help but notice a gentleman ranting and beating up a defenseless person. Picking up only pieces of what the man was saying he knew it couldn't be good with the words internal affairs involved.

Making his way down the steps Clark noticed a bus coming around the corner. The worse part was Clark noticed the driver was having a accident as the bus plowed into the parked cars along the road.

Rushing forward Clark threw himself in front of the bus using his body to shield the sleeping man on the bench that was almost hit. The only problem was the explosion caught the attention of the dirty cop in front of the museum.

As the gala people came outside to see what the explosion was Clark took the opportunity to escape.

Standing upon the steps Angela looked at Lex with worry in her eyes. They knew Clark had been out here they hoped he was ok.

The detective that had been out front decided to take on the case, but he already guessed that the young man he had noticed outside the museum had something to do with stopping the bus.

The Next Morning

"It was just crazy dad," Clark said as he lifted the generator up for his dad to the rafters.

"Did anyone see you stop the bus?,"

"I don't think so, sis probably figured it out that's about it,"

"You better hope son god knows what could happen if someone found out about you both," Jonathon replied tying off the rope holding the generator.

Metropolis

"I don't care what you have to do but it would be a shame if someone found out about your DUI records here if you don't comply with police business,"

"Fine," the guard replied leading the detective into the back room.

"Do what you need to," as the guard left him to his own actions Phelan began to scour through the footage from last night. He knew the proof was there.

Mansion

Angela walked downstairs wondering Lex was after waking up in bed alone.

"Oh I didn't realize we had a guest," Angela said suddenly coming upon Lex with a woman in their kitchen.

"Angela this is Victoria Hardwick she is the daughter of Harry Harwick a multinational industrialist,"

"Nice to meet you I'm Angela Kent lex's girlfriend,"

"Oh I didn't realize you had moved on from our relationship Lex," Victoria so subtly dropped on Angela.

"I will just leave you to your conversation," Angela said turning and making her way upstairs not knowing Lex watched her hunched retreating form with concern.

"Don't do that again. I agreed to discuss business not have you try to ruin my relationship,"

"But Lexy,"

"It's Lex now you know where the door is please leave we will discuss more later," Lex replied as he headed upstairs.

Entering the bedroom he noticed Angela sitting on the bed facing the window.

"She was only here to discuss business love, she and I want to take over our father's companies,"

"She's pretty,"

"You're more beauitful and pretty then her,"

"Thank you Lex I needed to hear that," Angela replied with a smile finally on her lips.

"Your welcome love," Lex leaned down and placed a loving kiss upon her lips.

"Come on you gotta get to school,"

"You're right love," Angela said getting up and slipping into her blue flared jeans, with a blood red top, and black converse for the day.

Later that day

"Can I get your notes sis?,"

"Sure Clark," Angela said before pausing in her steps at the creaking noise she heard.

"Watch out sis," Clark yelled shoving his sister out of the way just as the generator fell from the rafter.

"I knew it," came a strange unknown voice from the left side of the barn.

"Who are you?, What are you doing on our property?,"

"My name is Sam Phelan, I was outside the museum the other night I knew it was your brother who stopped that bus, and I even have the proof,"

"Please you can't tell anyone," Angela said as she sat up from where Clark had shoved her holding her wrist which she noticed was dislocated.

"I will only reveal it if you don't meet me at the beanery tomorrow afternnon, till then," Phelan said exiting the barn.

"What happened here?," Lex exclaimed as he entered the barn five minutes later.

"Sam Phelan is a fucking nut," Angela said as she held her hurting wrist.

"What's wrong with your wrist love?,"

"Dislocated it as Clark shoved me out of the way of that," Angela replied in pain.

"Clark stay away from Phelan he is bad news, if he does anything else tell me. I'm going to get Angela to the hospital,"

"Sure Lex," Clark said as Lex led Angela out of the barn to the porsche.

"Hospital or private doc?,"

"Private,"

"Ok love," Lex said as he headed homee to the mansion to call the doc.

Little did either of them know that Jonathon and Clark planned on meeting with Phelan despite Lex's warnings.

The next day

"I only want Clark's help,"

"With what?," Jonathon grounded out between clenched teeth.

"None of your business it is only between me and your son,"

"Any business you have with my family is my business,"

"Not this, either he helps or I tell his secret,"

"I won't let you exploit my son,"

"You have no choice," Phelan replied as he exited the Beanery.

The Mansion

"I purpose you not only take over your father's company but you can also have half the share of Luthorcorp if we work together,"

"Will your little girlfriend allow us to,"

"She understands my business as long as you don't do anything outside the boundaries of it she won't have nay issue with it,"

"Like what?,"

"I'm off limits that's the boundary I belong to Angela,"

"As I him," Angela's voice came from the doorway to the study.

"Ah love we were just discussing the pans,"

"I know Lex, I just came to tell you Rose has dinner ready in the dinning room if your ready to eat,"

"Of course love, will you be joining us?,"

"Gladly," Victoria replied following them to dinner.

The next morning

"Mhmm too early," Angela moaned as she buried her head in Lex's chest.

Laughing Lex just kissed Angela's forehead as he snuggled with her. He didn't want to leave the bed either but he knew they need to cause she had plans with her mom today, and he had more business to discuss with Victoria.

"Come on love you need to meet your mother,"

"And if I changed my mind," Angela replied smirking as she pulled her tired body up to straddle Lex's waist.

"Tease, you know you won't cancel on your mother...,"

"Angela!," came Clark's screaming voice from downstairs.

"What the hell?," Angela said as she jumped up grabbing her blue robe from the door as Lex did the same following her downstairs.

"Clark what's wrong?," Angela asked worriedly as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"I helped Phelan I did something terrible, he then planted a body on the farm blamed dad, dad in jail,"

"Woah slow down what do you mean you helped Phelan?," Lex asked as Angela put her arm around Clark and led him into the den.

"He had me break into internal affairs and steal his file, after I did that I threw it out the window onto the top of his car as the police showed up. This morning Deputy Miller showed up with a warrent and searched the land they found a dead body on the farm. Dad was arrested for it,"

"I warned you Clark not to get involved with him,"

"He blackmailed us,"

"What do you mean bro?,"

"He knows,"

"Oh I haven't even had that talk with Lex yet, let me guess the night of the gala?,"

"Yes,"

"Whatever discussion we need to have Angela can wait til I get your dad out of jail," Lex replied worried about what he needed to be told.

"Ok Lex thank you for helping us," Clark and Angela replied.

Later that evening Lex and Angela followed Clark to the beanery because Phelan had arranged another task for Clark. Clark had told them not to follow them but Angela couldn't handle leaving her brother sacrificing himself for their secret.

As they arrived in Metropolis Lex and Angela parked out front of what they realized was the museum where the Luthor exhibt was being held.

"You know that conversation I spoke of?,"

"Yes love,"

"Might want to have it now. You see Clark and I are special, we have certain...abilities that makes us different from others,"

"Like what Angela?," Lex asked surprising her with how calm he was taking it.

"It's hard to explain I dont know what clark has me on the other hand I have super speed, xray vision, and super strength," Angela replied looking down at her hands scared.

"No matter what your special and I still love you no matter what,"

"You do?,"

"Yes I do, I take it that is what Clark is working to protect," at that Angela nodded in response to it.

"Let's go help him," Lex said exiting the porshe.

It seems they didn't have to do much. After figuring out the package was a fake bomb, they only had to stand back as Clark threw the bag out the window in front of the guards to frame Phelan as he escaped.

The next morning Angela and Lex decided to head to the farm to check on Jonathon.

"hey dad,"

"Hey kiddo,"

"How are you doing now that your home?,"

"Much better who or how did I get out?,"

"Clark and Lex," Angela replied.

"Give us men a moment sweetie,"

"Sure dad," as Angela said that she decided to go out on the porch.

"i owe you both alot to getting me out, though Clark you aren't out of the woods yet due to what you did,"

"I know dad,"

"Lex you helped my kids I guess you aren't so bad," Jonathon said as his own way of a blessing.

Shaking his hand Lex stood to leave knowing Clark was going to get punished for what he did with Phelan.

As he left the farm house Lex wrapped his arm around Angela's waist to go home. You see telling him her secret didn't change their relationship but who knew what would come of it in other ways, that is what Angela feared for the future. Who knew her fears were true to have.
