I don't own anything. The lyrics are to What Hurts the Most by Rascall Flatts. Feedback is welcome.

ch 1
Clark opened his eyes and tried to get over disorienting feeling he was having. He blinked his eyes again before feeling a weight in his hand. He carefully opened it to reveal a lump of coal. That’s when it hit him like a ton of bricks. Jor-el had somehow sent him back in time. He had no idea how that was even possible and he didn’t have time to think about it as he heard footsteps coming up the steps to the loft.

Clark quickly stuffed the piece of coal in his pocket as he stood up and faced Lana. As soon as he saw her, he immediately got the awful image of her bloody body as it lay among what was left of her SVU. Clark blinked rapidly to try and force the awful image away. That was not going to happen. Lana was here and alive and she was going to stay that way.

“Um, Clark are you okay?” Lana asked looking at the strange expression on Clark’s face.

Clark didn’t realize just how long he had been staring at Lana with his mouth slightly agape. He shook his head slightly to get himself out of his tragic reverie. He rushed over to her pulling her into as tight of an embrace as he dared. Lana looked up at Clark confused as she wrapped her arms around his back.
After several long moments Clark finally let go of Lana and stepped back a little to give her some breathing room. Lana looked up at him very confused about what was going on. “Clark, what’s going on? Are you okay? You’re acting a little strange.”

Clark gave her a funny little smile as he reached out and rubbed her arms, reassuring himself again that this was actually real. “Yeah, I’m okay. I’ve just had a really strange dream.”

Lana looked up at him still uncertain of his odd behavior, but decided to let it drop for the moment. “So, I brought my gloves and scarf like you wanted me to. What have you got planned?”

Clark’s small smile instantly turned serious as he stepped away from Lana and looked out over the farm. This was how it had all happened in the first place, there was no way he could do this again. He was going to have to lie to her again. He hating lying, he was so sick and tired of it. Things had been so simple for a time, but now they were back to the same old routine. He had no other choice and just hoped she would accept whatever he could come up with in the next two seconds. He turned back to face her as he spoke. “Uh… I thought we’d just spend the day together.”

“Yeah, I pretty much figured that part out” Lana answered. “I was curious about the ‘day you will never forget’ part.”

“Oh, yeah…” Clark trailed off as he tried to come up with something. “I’d just thought we could go ice skating out on Crater Lake.” Clark tried to smile to make his pitiful excuse for a cover-up go over more smoothly. His face fell as he could tell that Lana was having no part of it.

“I can tell when you’re lying, Clark.” Lana countered. Clark could see that she was visibly angry at him, but he didn’t know what to do.

“I didn’t think what we needed right now was a mystery date. I don’t think I can take this anymore. Goodbye, Clark.” Lana turned and walked out of the barn as Clark stood there.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And watching you walk away
And having so much to say


Ten years later….

Clark sat behind his desk looking over the latest edition of the Daily Planet. He had just finished the last story he had been working on it and had already handed it over to Perry to be edited and printed. He was now leisurely looking over the rest of the paper. He normally didn’t pay any attention to the wedding announcements but this one caught his eye. There were two reasons for that. One was the size of the ad – It was huge, taking up a good portion of the page. The other was the names and the accompanying picture.

Luthor announces wedding engagement.

Clark stared at the picture and he couldn’t believe his eyes. He saw Lana standing next to his one-time friend Lex Luthor. He looked at Lana’s face. The joy on her face was very evident in the picture. Clark had moved on with his life. He had moved away from Smallville to Metropolis and had started his career. But, looking at this picture brought his mind –if not his body- back to another time. He had wanted to see Lana to look at him like that and for a short time she had, but with all that he carried around every day he it hadn’t worked out. He had lost touch with her after leaving home, and hadn’t spoken to her in several years.

In a way, he wasn’t surprised as much as the initial shock wore off at seeing the picture of them together. He had driven Lana away. He knew she would end up with someone else one day. But… Lex. He knew more now about Lex than he had in those times. Since, he had made his first appearance as Superman – Lex had been against him fully, putting him in a tight spot more than once. He had proof of some of it but couldn’t reveal it without revealing himself.

How could Lana be with him if she knew what he was like? He knew Lana was big on honesty and highly doubted that Lex was completely honest with her about his business dealings. He didn’t want to try and start anything up with her, but felt it was important to let her know just what exactly she was getting into with this marriage.

ch 2

Chloe saw the pensive look on Clark’s face and decided to walk over and see what he was in such deep thought about. As she approached she saw what he as staring at and sighed inwardly. Lana had always been able to get Clark’s attention, but this time it seemed a little different.

She had at one time hoped that she and Clark would have been more than friends; but it just hadn’t worked out that way. After the whole weird time travel incident, Clark was convinced that it was just too dangerous to for him to be involved with anyone. She had accepted that and they were still great friends.

But, she could tell at times that Clark really wanted to be with someone. She saw how he and Lois would banter back and forth, but he would always pull back before anything could happen that he couldn’t take back. It was like a turtle pulling its head back into its shell for protection. Chloe could tell right now was another one of those times. You could almost read the emotions on his face the same way he was reading the paper.

Chloe gently placed her hand on his shoulder; the touch breaking him out of his reverie causing him to jump slightly. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. Are you okay?” Chloe nodded at the picture.

“I guess.” Clark was still very glum but gave Chloe a small smile, appreciative of her concern.

“You knew this was going to happen one day,” Chloe offered trying to be helpful. She pulled up a chair as Clark turned around to face her. “I know. It’s not the fact that she is getting married that bothers me, it’s who she is marrying.”

“Well she probably doesn’t know him like we do.” Chloe then continued, trying to sound optimistic. “But, maybe he’s changed.”

Clark looked at her with an eyebrow raised very skeptically. Chloe saw the look and thought mark one up for nurture. She almost felt like she was a teenager again and Jonathan Kent had just caught her with her hand in the proverbial cookie jar. “You and I both know that isn’t true.”

Chloe hid a smile as she thought all he needs to do is cross his arms across his chest and the pose will be complete. As if on cue Clark did just that almost as a dare for her to challenge him on the point. Chloe would have mentioned her inner amusement to Clark but she didn’t want to upset him further by bringing up that subject since he was already upset. “You can’t do anything about it. She’s a grown woman who can make decisions on her own.”

“But, they’re uninformed choices, Chloe” Clark argued. “I just can’t believe that she would know about the stuff he does and go through with this.”

“Well, they say love is blind” Chloe answered. “Everyone knows Lex is a smooth talker, he probably has her believing that he is just another upstanding businessman.”

“Somebody has to tell her the truth.” Clark shot back his voice rising slightly as he was getting agitated. Clark raised his fist and was about to bring it down on his desk.

“Whoa….calm down, Clark.” Chloe spoke softly. She looked around the newsroom but no one was paying them any attention at all. She lowered her voice as she continued. “I don’t think it would be good for you to shatter your desk, might be a little hard to explain.”

Clark let him arm fall loosely back to the desk, somewhat more calm. “Just how do you plan on going through with this?”

“I don’t know, really.” Clark shook his head at her.

Chloe sighed she knew she had to ask this before this plan of his went any further. “Clark you know you are my friend, but I have to ask you this. Why are you being so adamant about telling Lana about Lex?” She paused for a moment trying to figure out what was going on in his head. “It’s one thing if you want to do this for Lana’s safety. It’s a completely different thing if you want to do this entirely for yourself.”

Clark wanted to snap at Chloe for suggesting that he might be intentionally trying to break up Lex and Lana. But, he sighed knowing that it was a legitimate question given their history. “I don’t want to get back with Lana. That’s all in the past. I just don’t want her to get hurt by Lex.”

“Do you think it’s not going to hurt her when you tell her this?”

“It will be better for her to find out now instead on down the line when she is in too deep to be able to get out.”

Chloe shook her head. “What makes you think she will actually believe you?”

“I don’t know, but I have to try.” Clark answered back.

Chloe shook her head. “It doesn’t seem like I’m going to change your mind on this.” Chloe got up and turned to walk away, but then turned back. ‘Just remember, Clark, you can‘t save everyone, especially if they don’t want to be saved.”

“I know, Chloe.” Clark looked up at her knowing that fact all too well.

“Just be careful, okay?”

“Sure thing.” Clark smiled at her as she turned away. She had a very uneasy feeling about this.

ch 3
Clark stood at the sink putting up the dishes that had been in the dishwasher. He stopped for a moment and looked around his apartment. He thought it looked pretty good. He had spent most of the morning cleaning it up. Yeah, he could have done the whole thing in a few seconds, but he wanted it to be done right. He also needed the time to think. He needed something to occupy his time to keep himself from being so nervous. He didn’t really know why he was so nervous about this. He was just meeting an old friend that he hadn’t seen in a while; there wasn’t anything unusual about that.

Clark shook his head. He knew that wasn’t right. This wasn’t just an old friend that he was about to talk to. This was Lana. Things had always been and seemed like they would always be different with her. He hoped she would show up. Surprised was an understatement about her reaction when he had called her up. She seemed hesitant to want to meet. He had assured her all he wanted was just a few minutes of her time to talk.

She hadn’t wanted to meet him at his apartment to begin with. But with the sensitive nature of the conversation he thought it would be better to be in private. Of course, he couldn’t tell her that reason for fear that she would never show up. So, he just told her that he thought this way it would be more private and there wouldn’t be a chance of any camera happy paparazzi trying to take a picture of the two of them together. Clark knew they would love the chance to print something about the bride to be having another guy on the side. Clark didn’t want to take that chance. His reasoning had finally won her over and she had agreed to his plan.

He still didn’t know what he was going to say when he put the drying cloth back on the rack and heard the doorbell ring. He quickly scanned the door and seeing that it was Lana called out. “It’s open.” Clark walked around the kitchen seating area as Lana hesitantly walked inside the apartment.

As soon as she was inside Clark got a queasy feeling in his stomach and he knew it wasn’t the nervous butterflies causing it. He looked over at Lana and she was wearing a very ornate gold necklace that curved inward in three places before joining in the middle where a good sized green rock sat with gold bands entwined over it.

Clark groaned inwardly and tried very hard not to groan outwardly. How am I going to be to talk with her with that thing on her? I guess this really is like how it used to be.

Lana saw the strange expression on Clark’s face but chalked it to that the fact that he was probably nervous. She knew she was. She wondered what he wanted to talk to her about after all these years. She was also nervous because she hadn’t told Lex about this secret rendezvous. She knew he wouldn’t have been happy to know who she was going to see. Clark had said he just wanted to talk, she thought she could handle that on her own.

Lana looked around the apartment trying to think of some small talk to make to get the conversation started since it seems like Clark was not going to. “This is a nice apartment you have here.”

“Thanks, I don’t really know anything about decorating.” Clark finally took his eyes off the evil jewelry and looked around his apartment. It had a very comfortable looking couch up against the wall facing the kitchen area. It had nature pictures spread out nicely over the walls. There was one in particular that was his favorite. It was a picture of his barn. Even though it no longer belonged to him, since his mom sold the place, it still reminded him of home. Lana saw the picture of the barn and how Clark’s eyes seemed to linger on that picture more than the others. It certainly stirred up memories for her as well. “I had Chloe help me.” Clark motioned to the couch across the room. “Please have a seat.”

“Sure.” Lana walked over and sat down placing her purse on the floor next to her feet. “It’s good that the two of you have stayed close through all these years.” Lana said as an uncomfortable silence seemed to linger around them. She noticed that Clark had not moved from the spot where he was leaning against the kitchen counter. Is he still that upset with me that he can’t even sit down next to me? Why did he want to meet with me then?

Clark saw the strange look on Lana’s face, but didn’t know what to do. The radiation was bad enough standing this close to her there was no way he would be able to sit down right next to her. “That’s a very pretty necklace you have. Where’d you get it?”

Lana looked down and gently fingered the piece of jewelry. She smiled as she looked back up at Clark. “It’s an emerald necklace that Lex that gave me as an engagement present. He brought himself a ring to match it.”

I hate to tell you this, but you got gypped Clark thought wryly to himself.

“So, what did you want to talk to me about?” Lana decided to get to the point of her visit the awkwardness of the situation was beginning to get to her and she couldn’t figure out why Clark still hadn’t moved.

“I wanted to talk to you about Lex.” Clark spoke calmly and slowly. He didn’t want to give her the wrong impression about what he was about to say.

Lana tried to stay calm as she answered but she felt herself already becoming defensive. This is the reason for this meeting. What does he think he’s doing? “What about Lex?”

“I know how you are about truth and honesty.” Clark began. “I just don’t think you have a full picture of what you are getting into. I just wanted you to know the whole story before you go forward with this marriage.”

“Are you trying to break me and Lex up?” Lana shot back getting angrier by the second. “Off all people I can’t believe I am going to get a speech on truth and honesty from you Clark. How can you stand there and say anything about someone not being honest. Lex has been very good to me. Do you not remember why we didn’t work out?”

Clark definitely remembered that. As he stood there a flash of Lana lying prone on the side of the road covered in blood flashed back in his brain. He blinked quickly to get the vision to go away. That was something he didn’t think he could ever forget. Clark’s answer was almost a whisper. “I remember.”

He looked up at her and saw that she had calmed down and now had a look of concern on her face. It was almost as if she was afraid her outburst had wounded him in some way. In a way it had, honesty was a problem he struggled with daily, but could never do what he wanted about it.

“You’re right, Lana. It does seem hypocritical of me to try to talk about honesty given our past. I’m not trying to break up you and Lex. If you decide to go on with this wedding, that your decision. I just don’t want you going in with blinders on.”

“I’m not going in with blinders on, Clark. I’m a grown woman now and I know what I’m getting into.” Lana stated trying to keep her composure better. She felt bad about lashing out at Clark like that. It seemed like all the pent up frustration she had carried around for so long was finally coming out at seeing him again.

“Do you really?” Clark asked. “Does Lex share with you what he does when the cameras are not there? Does he tell you about what he does when no one is watching?”

“I trust Lex. I think he is a good man. He doesn’t tell me about every detail of his work. There’s no way he could.” Lana looked Clark straight in the eye as she spoke. “How can you really ever no know anyone Clark? I was with you just about all the time when we were together but I never felt like I really knew you.”

“I know you’re angry and frustrated at me Lana.” Clark was beginning to get exasperated. This is getting him nowhere and he was really starting to feel the effects of the necklace. He could tell he was leaning heavier on the kitchen counter for support. He felt in a few more minutes standing might not be possible. “B-but this is not about me this is about Lex.”

Lana noticed Clark’s slight stutter and then saw just how pale he looked. Something wasn’t right. She never remembered seeing him like this before. “Clark, are you okay? You look kinda pale.”

“I- I’m fine.” Clark tried to wave off the concern though he was feeling very light headed.

“You don’t look like you fine.” Lana got up and began to walk over to him to see if she could do anything to help.

Clark moaned slightly as she neared. “I’m just feeling a little light headed that’s all. I probably just need to lie down. Maybe you should go.”

Lana was a little hurt by Clark’s abruptness but didn’t say anything. “Are you sure you’re going to be okay?”

“Yeah, I just need some rest.” Clark tried to smile, but could only manage a weak grin.

“Okay, I guess I’ll just let myself out, then.” Lana turned and walked toward the door, stopping for a moment to look back at Clark before closing it.

Clark slumped into a nearby chair breathing heavy. This was certainly not the meeting he had planned.

Lana had left Clark’s apartment earlier and had driven over to the park to walk around and think some. Why had Clark called me over to his place to talk about Lex? Did he still have feelings for me? Is that why he did this? To make me think badly of Lex so I would break off the engagement? Lana stopped and looked out over a small pond. She really didn’t know what to think. Clark had said he wasn’t tying to break them up and she knew he wasn’t the kind of person to throw empty accusations around about people.

But Lex had been good to her. He had always looked out for her since they first meeting. They had remained friends for the whole time that she and Clark had yo-yoed back and forth. She had gone to him for advice and cried to him about her troubles with Clark. He had always listened to her. After her break-up with Clark, he was there with a comforting shoulder for her. They didn’t really get together until a few years down the road. She had never seen anything that would make her think what she was doing was wrong.

But, it must have been hard for Clark to revisit our past by calling me up. He definitely seemed uncomfortable in the situation. Could he actually be right? Could I be walking into something I know nothing about? Lana looked out over the pond again as the sun began to go down. She then realized how late it had better getting going.

Lana couldn’t help but feel things were slightly different as she walked into the penthouse apartment that Lex owned. She tried to act as if nothing as happened as she looked over at him, but couldn’t help but think if she did really know him or not.

“You look beautiful.” Lex cooed as she walked over to him. It didn’t seem to her that he had noticed anything different.

“Thanks. You do as well.” Lex smiled at her. “Did you have a good afternoon?”

“Yes. I ran a few errands and then went over to the park for a while,” Lana answered. “You?”

“Just business as usual” Lex stepped over to her. “Are you ready to go?”

“Yes” Lex extended his hand toward the door. “You go on I’ll get the lights.” Lana turned around and didn’t see the dark look that quickly passed over Lex’s face for a moment before the mask went back in place and he went out behind her.

**************

Two days later…

Clark hesitantly got up and answered the knock on the door. He didn’t want any company or was expecting any right now. He didn’t even check to see who it was before opening the door. The only reasons he didn’t ignore the noise all together was that it would be rude and whoever it was wouldn’t go away.

Clark opened the door to see Chloe standing there with a very perky smile on her face. She had two pizza boxes under one arm and a plastic grocery bag hanging from the other.

“I thought you could use some comfort food.”

Clark looked at her responding with a very weak smile. “Chloe, I really don’t…” his words were cut off by a very stern “Clark Kent!” Clark’s eyes grew wide with the tone of her voice. It was almost the same tone as when his mother used when he was little and had been caught doing something he shouldn’t.

Chloe’s face and tone softened with concern as she continued. “You have been moping around all day at work and have hardly said a word to anyone. You may not want any company tight now, but you need some whether you want to admit it or not.” She paused for a moment before smiling up at him again. “So, are you going to let me in or am I going to drip all the way down the hall?”

Clark opened the door fully stepping out of the way for Chloe to come in. “Drip? Pizza doesn’t drip.”

Chloe placed the two pizza boxes on the coffee table in front of the couch before turning back to see Clark’s perplexed look.

“No, but ice cream will.” She pulled two pints of ice cream out of the plastic bag. “Now, you just sit down here while I go and put these in the freezer for now.”

Clark obeyed without anymore argument. He really hadn’t wanted to see anyone but was touched by Chloe’s concern. Chloe looked over at him as she finished putting away the dessert glad that he hadn’t protested any more and was going along with her plan. “You want to use paper plates or napkins?”

“Napkins are fine.”

Chloe thought about tearing off some sheets, but then decided just to bring the whole roll. That way no one would have to get up for more. “What do you have to drink here?”

There’s some coke cans in the fridge.” Chloe returned placing the cokes and the roll of paper towels on the table beside the boxes.

Clark eyed the whole roll of paper towel and looked at Chloe with a raised eyebrow. “Hey, I’ve seen you eat pizza before.”

“I’m not that bad!” Clark tried to act hurt, but couldn’t help but smile. It was nice to be able to talk to someone who really knew him.

Chloe opened the boxes with a flourish. “I got a pizza with everything on it, except anchovies for you. Ham and pineapple for me.”

Make that it was VERY nice to have someone who really knew you. “Thanks, Chloe. This was really sweet of you to do this.” Clark tore off several sections of the paper towels and grabbed a slice of the pizza.

Chloe did the same as well. “That’s what friends are for.” Both munched happily for a moment without saying anything before Chloe brought up what she had wanted to know about all day. “So, how did the meeting go Saturday?” Chloe asked innocently as she picked at a piece of pineapple.

“What meeting is that?” Clark asked in the same tone Chloe used, although he knew exactly what she was asking about.

“The meeting with Lana.” Chloe tried to act exasperated just to go along with Clark.

“Oh, that one.” Clark looked over at Chloe as she rolled her eyes at him. “So, you bribe me with pizza and ice cream to try and get me to talk?”

“Yeah, is it working?” Chloe smiled at him for a moment before continuing. “I came over because I’m really concerned about you. I thought you might need someone to talk to.”

Clark smiled at her. “Thanks, Chloe I appreciate that.” Clark took another bite of his pizza. “You know, I may have to do something to get you to bribe me more.”

Chloe reached over and wanted to slap him, but decided she didn’t want to her hand so she decided on giving him a playful shove. “So, am I going to find out or not. I can still take back my ice cream you know.” She gave him a mock stern look to try and emphasize her point.

Clark put his hands up in the air as a sign of surrender. “Okay, okay.”

“I’m glad you finally came to your senses and saw reason.” Chloe smiled at him. “I’m going to take a wild guess and say it didn’t go good.”

“No, I didn’t get anywhere with her” Clark shook his head dejected. “I didn’t even get to talk with her like I wanted to.”

“What happened?” Chloe asked as she finished off the last bit of her slice of pizza.

“She was wearing a necklace…. and it wasn’t an emerald” Clark placed the uneaten crust of his last piece inside the cardboard box.

“Kryptonite?” Chloe’s eyes grew wide with concern. “Are you okay?” Chloe started to get up to have a better look to make sure.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” Clark waved her off and Chloe settled into her seat again, but she kept a close eye on him. “I had to stand across the room from her I don’t know what she thought about that.”

“Where’d she get a kryptonite necklace from?” Chloe wondered out loud.

Clark’s eyes took on a harder tone as he answered. “Lex.”

“Is that what she said or are you just guessing?”

“She thought it was an emerald. She said Lex bought it for her as an engagement present and himself a matching ring.”

Chloe saw the look in Clark’s eyes when he said Lex’s name. “Yu don’t think it is just a fluke. Do you? You think Lex purposefully had jewelry made with those rocks in them.”

Clark only nodded his head in response.

“Bt why?” Chloe asked to the question to the air. Clark seemed to be lost in thought at the moment. “ven if Lex didn’t want Lana to be near you, he doesn’t know it affects you.”

“I’ve often wondered just how much he does know.” Clark seemed to momentarily have forgotten there was someone else in the room as he stared straight ahead. Chloe reached over and placed her hand on top of Clark’s arm softly. She used her other hand to turn his face towards hers. “Hey, how could he? I don’t think Lex is the type to sit on this type of information.”

“You’re probably right.” Clark said the glassy look disappearing from his eyes. “He has just become consumed by his hatred of Superman and had unwittingly roped Lana in.”

Chloe leaned back again in her seat. “You’re not going to try again are you?” Chloe looked over at Clark concerned when she got no response. “You’re not dealing with just Lana now, you’re also dealing with Lex. You could get hurt.”

Clark just nodded his head as he spoke softly. “I know.”

Chloe decided not to push the subject any further. “So, how did Lana act?” Chloe was curious how Lana was as well since it had been a long time since she had spoke to her also.

Clark snorted softly. “She defended him. She said he was a good man.”

Chloe knew ahead of time that would likely be Lana’s reaction. What other reaction would you expect from someone who seemed as happy as Lana did and was newly engaged. Chloe could just about read on his face what was going through his brain then. “Clark, Lex has her brainwashed. You’re a good person. Its Lana’s loss, not yours.”

Clark exhaled slowly and then smiled over at Chloe. “You’re right. Thanks for reminding me.”

“So, how did the visit end?”

“Lana began to notice that I wasn’t looking too well and I had to tell her she needed to leave so I could lie down.”

Clark saw the slightly stunned look on Chloe’s face. “I didn’t want to be rude, but it was getting pretty bad by that then and she wanted to come over and try to help me.”

“Its okay, Clark” Chloe said. “I’m just surprised she noticed and left without doing anything.”

“Yeah, well I probably don’t have to worry about a return visit.” Clark’s eyes then sparkled for the first time all night. “I think it is time for dessert.”

“Definitely.”
