Chapter 31: Cruise (Day 4) Aftermath.....The Calm After the Storm...
Chloe is first to see Clark and Lois, her hands over her eyes, shielding them from the bright sun as she surveys around looking at the many faces, spots them walking across the deck, and points out at them excitedly.
"Oh my God, there they are!" She shouts eagerly and jumps down from the small platform she was standing on, followed by Lucy as they rush over to the two.
As soon as they were close enough both girls swallow Lois up in hugs, almost knocking her down to the wooden deck floor, neither caring that she was socking wet and they were getting wet too from hugging her so tightly.
"Lois!" Lucy shouts, squeezing the life from her big sister with her hug that Lois gladly returned back to both girls.
Chloe pulled back and wiped at her eyes. "We were sure Lex would have killed you."
"Yea, he would have if it wasn't for Clark…" She said smiling up at him.
"Not that you needed any help. I seen what you did to him, looks like you held your own." Clark said teasingly as his arm snakes around her waist.
Lois smiled smugly and shrugged her shoulders. "Well I was getting tired of his yapping about 'Where his disk is?'" She smirks. "He was beginning to sound like a broken record, and believe me I was beyond ready to die if it meant not hearing him speak anymore."
Clark bumps his shoulder int her at her last statement as she laughs.
"What, wait, you did that to Lex?" Lucy asks in shock. I knew you had an arm on you, Lo, and with all your training and stuff..."
"I feel like there's a but in there, somewhere." Lois says sarcastically as she folds her arms.
Chloe gives her a pointed look before her face hints back to being shock. "I mean have you seen him lately? It looks like you took a sledge hammer to his face."
"And it doesn't look any prettier close up, either." Bart jokes as he appears next to Chloe after investigating what was going on with the crowd.
"What? What are you guys talking about?" Lois asks confused, until she turns and walks a little, it becoming clear as she sees Lex on a stage, crowds of people around, even the media who cam aboard recently from helicopters that were still in air circling around.
Her mind too focused on Lex at the moment to take the rest in. "Alright, I know I have a pretty mean right hook but I doubt my few punches did that." Lois smirks amusingly as she sees the purple-swollen lumps on Lex's face, who was hardly recognizable with his face badly swelled up as if he gained some major pounds.
Clark slyly comes up behind her and snakes his arms around her waist as he rests his hands on the top part of her jeans.
"I guess you just don't know your own strength sometimes." Clark says in a teasing tone as she looks back at him, reading from his face that he was the one to do it and smiles widely at him.
"Yea, I guess so or the impact I have on some people." She says smiling as she kiss his lips softly and parts.
"But what's going on? why aren't they evacuating the Cruise?" Clark asks as he pulls away from Lois some to look at his friends, his arm s still wrapped protectively around her hips.
"And why does it look like they're throwing a parade for Lex?" Lois adds her own question in.
"The crew have gotten the pumps to work, the reason why I'm here and not running a Marathon." Bart says sarcastically as he proceeds to answer Clark's question and Chloe jumps in to answer Lois'.
"Well, it would appear that our 'friend' Lex is being honored and interviewed for his heroic capture of the goons who tried to steal from the ship's vault while chaos was ensuing, which they caused by the way."
"What?!" Clark and Lois shouts at the same time and only give each looks at the way they talked at the same time.
"That Bastard is the reason for all this and he comes out looking like the hero of the day." Lois smirks and rolls her eyes angrily. "And I'm willing to bet he was behind the heist in the first place."
"He was...it was just a distraction and means to cover his own butt when bodies started to be found. Lex was going to let them take the fall for all of it." Chloe replies and explains. "But his plan has backfired and..."
"...He's come up with a new one." Lois sneers through her teeth as she glares back at Lex, who is standign like a god before the crowd answering questions to the media while they snap photos of him.
"The real question is what does he plane to do with us?" Chloe says whatever everyone else was thinking.
"Nothing, that's what." Lois says as she grabs the bag off Chloe's shoulder and pulls out the disk. "Not as long as I have this and my colleague in New York has another copy in case me or those close to me disappear."
They give her a surprised mixed with humor looks as she gives them a pointed look back.
"I do have my moments and, yea, I know I always criticize, Smallville, for his always being prepared manner, but I think my act justifies itself." She rants out in a rushed voice and shakes her head, holding her hand to her temple at the feel of a headache coming on from all that happened.
"I dont' think I can handle anything else happening, or I swear my head is going to blow." Lois says sarcastically as she rubs her head, while Clark smiles and places a comforting kiss on her neck.
Chloe scrunches up uneasily, as she looks nervously at Lois. "Well, I think you should grab out that bottle of aspirin while you have my purse, because...."
"Lois Joanne Lane!" A hearty loud voice boons across to them.
"Of course, Daddy..." Lois sighs out heavily through her teeth and rolls her eyes as Clark quickly pulls back his arms from around her waist.
She nudges her elbow into his side as General Lane walks up to the gang, and pulls out the cigar from his mouth as he gives his eldest daughter a stern look.
"Seems like Lucy isn't the only one I need to keep as close eye on."
Lois folds her arms as she looks smugly back. "Well how else would I be able to see you?" She smirks sarcastically.
"I'm glad to see you think this is a joke, Lo, when yet again you manage to find your way into trouble again, and this time including your sister and friends into your schemes."
"Oh yes, daddy, because I'm just the sort to risk the lives of those close to me." Lois smirks...and you're all too ready to assume that this is all my fault!"
General Lane takes a drag on his cigar as he stares at his seething daughter and pulls it from his mouth, his eyes falling onto Clark who looks very nervously back. "Give my apologizes to your folks Kent, for my daughter's behavior, she dragging you into her mess. i know what a handful she can be to control."
"You really have no idea..." Clark quips under his breath, Lois catching what he siad runs her elbow into his side again.
"I didnt' do anything, for once, this time, not really, anyway. The fact is if I didnt' do what I did, we could all be dead right now." Lois snaps back in her defense, and to Clark's horror to spite her dad. Lois wraps her hand around his, locking their fingers tightly together.
"And though it's none of your business, Clark can handle me quite well." She says boldy with a smugged smile claiming her lips.
Clark goes pail as he looks up from their hands clasped together to General Lane's face that was calm but Clark could see in his eyes the fury brewing inside as rings of smoke came from his mouth, puffing away on the cigar. Clark beside himself quickly pulls his hand away from her a nervous smile on his face as he's caught between Lois glaring at him and her dad doing the same.
"I....I-I dont' know what your thinking, but..."
"Clark!" Lois snaps as he looks back at her weakly, shrugging his shoulders.
"So, something became of you two after all..." General Lane says as he taps the tip of his boot down on the deck, his eyes studying the two.
"Oh God, please don't tell me you saw this coming too or I'm really gonna consider jumping overboard."
"Saw, but didn't really expect it to happen. My, Lo, falling for some small town farm boy?"
Lois walks in front of Clark, leaning back against his cest as she wraps his arms around her, against his will.
"Daddy, Clark is not a boy, far from it, believe me I know." She says, hinting a bit in her words exactly what she meant, with Clark shaking his head fast against what she was implying.
"I see that you're serious?" He says a bit astonished, but doesn't let it show, his words coming out more as a question then a statement.
"Very." She says as she cuts her eyes at him, letting him know she really is.
Clark gulps and tries to pull from her at the dark look that only grows on the General's face.
He takes a short puff on his cigar before dropping it to the floor and snubs it out. "We can talk about your....affairs later. Right now I want to know what the Hell is going on and what your sister is doing here from Germany? How?"
"Uncle, Sam..." Chloe begins but is cut off by Lois who holds her hand up to her.
"Well, daddy, its called a helicopter you know a plane with blades on top. The thing I stole from the army base when I was twelve."
"Lo, don't get cute with me. My girls were on a cruise that was sinking, held hostage, and God knows what else."
"Lois getting wasted and showing her goods to half the cruise." Chloe says under her breath amusingly, but it comes out loud enough for everyone to hear.
Lois' jaw drops and glares at Chloe who laughs to herself behind tightly closed lips.
"Chloe, getting drunk and stripping off some girl's clothes!" Lois says not trying at all to be discrete as she places her hands on her hips.
Chloe gasps as her mouth drops open. "It was nothing like that and you know it!"
"And lets not forget, Chloe, getting 'friendly' with Bart, here." Lois smirks wiggling her eyebrow in a suggestive manner. "If you know what I mean?"
"Dude!" Bart lets out in protest.
"Oh, like you and Clark weren't rocking the boat!" Chloe shouts in embarrassment and proceeds to humiliate Lois further. "Oh, Clark!" Oh, Smalllville! Oh God, yes right there!" She says in a mocking, sexual tone. "Thanks to you, everyone on the cruise know who Clark is!"
Clark looks at the General shaking his head quickly against what was being said about him as the General's glare just went from violent to deadly, his jaw setting tighter together.
"That is so not true!" Lois says in defense. "I was so not that loud!"
Chloe raises her brow up at Lois and steps on the bottom of the bar of the rail next to her to giver her a bit more height as she places her hands around her mouth.
"Excuse me!" Chloe shouts between her cupped hands, a few people heads turn that were close enough around to hear her. "Can anyone please point me to a Clark Kent?!"
A few seconds later hands shoot up from those around, pointing straight to Clark. His face turns sun-burnt red and fear widen his eyes as he saw the shaky clasped fists of the General at his sides.
"I rest my case." A smugged face, wide smiling Chloe annouses satisfied with the result.
"You little..." Lois begins and looks like she was going to attack Chloe, if Clark didn't put a firmer hold around her waist.
"Girls, Enough!" The General blarred. "I have a headache enough listening to these damn helicopters whine, I dont' need to hear it from you two."
Lois teasingly stuck out her tongue quickly at Chloe, who was fighting not to smile at Lois' childishness.
"Now, I have a few orders to take care of, but when I get back I'm personally taking a statement from each and everyone of you..."He demanded as he looked at each of them and lastly looking longer at Clark. "...to find out what the hell is going on here."
"I think I need a clean pair of shorts." Bart rasped in a dry voice after the General stalked off to take care of some business.
"Bro, seriously?" AC scrunched up and gave the pint sized boy a disgusted look and received a punch in the arm from him for his crack.
Suddenly, at that moment, Lana comes rushing up to them and from the look on her face the news wasn't going to be good. "Lex is gone!"
"What the hell now?!" Lois groaned out in high frustration.
"What do you mean, he's gone?" Chloe asked wanting more details. "There were hundreds of cameras on him he couldn't just disappear."
"He's not on stage." Lana reitirated. "One moment he was there and the next no one's seen him."
"Baldy, couldn't have gone far." Lois smirked. "It's sunny out, you'll spot that shine a mile away."
"This is getting serious, guys, Lex could be anywheres." Chloe points out.
"Like right behind you." Came Lex's voice, ragged and breathing hard as if finally snapping.
Everyone turned to see the bald billionaire standing there and pointing a gun directed at them. Malicious hate in his eyes as he stared each one of them down as if deciding which to kill first. Clark instinctively holding Lois behind him as Bart and AC did the same with the other three girls.
"Who can honestly say they saw this one coming?" Bart said and raising his hand waiting for the others to do the same, but they just roll their eyes at him.
"Bro, put your hand down. You've just so volunteered yourself first to get shot." AC whispered harshly, shaking his head. "What an idiot!"
"I heard that fishstick!" Bart shouted as he turned to glare at AC.
Lex grabbed at his head like he had hair to pull in a crazy fit and pointed his gun wildly at them. "Shut up! Or I'll shoot you both at the same time!"
"Dude, that's not even poss-" Chloe quickly clamped her hand over her boyfriend's mouth or he was going to be a soon-to-be dead ex-boyfriend.
Clark and Lois glaring at him over their shoulder, their eyes asking him 'are you for real?', and he just shrugs up sheepishly with a stupid smile on his mouth, as he stood there tyring to not bring any more embarrassment to himself.
"Look, Lex, it's me you want let the rest of them go." Clark states as he takes a step from Lois, who grabs the back of his shirt to cling onto.
"Smallville, are you crazy?" She whispers only low enough for him to hear. "He's close to knowing what you are, and when he does he'll expose you to everyone."
"Lo, trust me, I know what I'm doing." He throws back to her over his shoulder.
Lex laughs sickly in his throat at the display. "Never knew you could be such the clingy type, Lois, Clark must be good in the sack."
"Screw you, baldy!" Lois spits between gritted teeth, as Clark unclench her hands from his shirt, all the while keeping her safe behind him.
"Sorry, already gave you that option but you turned me down." Lex smiles wickedly, licking his swollen purplish-black lips at her.
Lois grabs at her throat as she fights off a gag. "I think I just vomited a little in my mouth."
Lex growls, his hands becoming unsteady as they shake with rage. His finger itching to pull the trigger and end all their miserable lives, but not before he gets what he wants.
"Tell your Bitch girlfriend to tell me where my disk and videos are..." Lex demanded, as the shake in his hand grew. "...or I'll shoot each and everyone of them before your eyes. I don't know what you are Kent but I doubt you'll be able to save all of them or risk your identity in front of all these people."
"Dumbass, I highly doubt you'll shoot us in front of all thesepeople, either." Lois smirks, her brow raises high as if challenging him as Clark growls at her to 'shut up' and stop provoking him.
"Oh, really?" Lex said, looking as if he already won, a snap could figuratively be heard as all Lex's cares flew out the window. "Say goodbye, Miss Lane."
Lois' eyes go wide as his hand brings up the gun to her eye-level, and a black, dark, empty barrel of the bullet's exit met her hazel's. Time seem to go still as she watched his finger move back centimeter by centimeter on the trigger. There was a loud bang and plenty of screams and smoke as the bullet left from the barrel heading straight for Lois.
In speed no one could see, as time stood still, Clark turned around, wrapping his body around Lois to protect her from the oncoming danger. Clark preparing to take the brunt of the bullet he knew wouldn't hurt him, despite his secret being discovered, he couldn't live with himself if anyone got hurt or killed from the stray bullet Lex shot. Lois face etches with concern at the sacrifice her farm boy is taking to ensure all their safety with no regards to himself. While his face just smiles back at his true love, he would take a bullet for a million times over.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" A female voice rings out with the sound of the bang the shot makes as a body falls dead to the floor.
"Lana!" Chloe and Lucy scream as they fall to her side, having seen everything as at the last minute Lana flung herself in front of the bullet that was heading straight into Clark's back as he stood protectively wrapped around Lois.
Bart seeing a chance speeds, grabbing a coconut, and as hard as he could plows it against the lumpy bald head of Lex Luther. After a few minutes of being stunned Lex turns around and back hands Bart across the face instinctively.
Bart presses his hand against the blanched sting across his cheek. "Dude, you smacked me?"
"Right, forgot I had a gun." Lex replied and quickly raises the gun to but a bullet into Bart, but doesn't get the chance as Clark grabs a hold of his suit, spins him around and decks him hard across the jaw.
Lex stumbles, falling roughly on his back as his hand hits hard making him loose his grip on his gun as it slides against the smooth deck and fall over the edge of the boat to be swallowed and forever lost in the sea.
Lois and Clark join Chloe and Lucy hovering over Lana who had so much red all over her from the shot they didn't know where she was hurt. She coughed and gagged as life was quickly slipping into the hands of death. Her eyes large and skin streaked with bead of sweat as she fought to cling to life.
"Lana, I can't believe you did this for me." Clark says his heart heavy, watching the girl he gotten over his boyhood crush and became, finally, just friends with.
Lana's eyes narrows as she looks up at Clark and spits between her teeth. "I didn't do this for you!"
She turns her head to see Lex on his butt rubbing his jaw as it hung more loose then what was normal. "I did it for Snuggle Bear."
"Snuggle Bear?" Came collectively from the group as they looked over at Lex who was shaking his head dazed and confused in his own little world.
Lana weakly shakes her head 'yes'. "I did this to show him how my I truly love him."
Lois makes a face of disgust while the others tries to show pity but coming out more like disgust as well. While Bart's face just shows heavy confusion as he's in deep thought.
"What? That just doesn't make sense!" Bart shouts, Lois the only one shaking her head agreeing with him as Chloe kicks him for his outburst.
Lana turns her head to Chloe reaching out with one hand to cling to the blonde. "I want you to have all my pink clothes, I know how much you like them. You're always starring at them and it always made me happy to wear them even more."
Before Chloe could say a word Lana turns her head to Clark, smiling widely at him. "You were my first but it wasn't meant, I find someone better and fell madly in love with him. But I leave you with the memories we mad together, I'll forever cherish them, you do the same."
Lois gags and is bumped roughly by Clark for her behavior, which brings Lana to her attention. She reaches out to grab Lois' hand, Lois reacting like her hand was touching something slimy and cold to the touch.
"Lois, we were like sisters...."
She gives a loud snort to the raven-haired girl words as Clark next to her looked like he wanted to choke Lois, slowly, for how she was acting to Lana as she laid here dying.
"Lana..." Came Lois exasperated sigh.
"Take care of Clark for me...." She whispers in a raspy voice as if it was hard to talk and reaches up to grab a handful of Lois' chestnut hair. "...and these awful split ends. Now I must go...I feel the angels calling me home."
Bart turns his head to the side of him at the sound of sniffles. "Dude, are you seriously crying?"
"No, I just got something in my eyes." AC says turning his head away from Bart quickly so he wouldn't see his teary, red eyes.
Lois smacks Lana's hand out of her hair and pulls Lana's other hand away from where she clung tightly to her shoulder where most of the blood seem to be streaming from and sees exactly what she thought it would be.
"Lois, what are you doing?" Clark scolds as he looks at her like she finally lost her mind.
There in Lois' sight is a pretty gash where the bullet took a chunk of flesh from her deltoid leaving burnt and jagged edges but nothing a good thread and needle couldn't fix.
"Lana you're not dying..."
"I'm not?" Lana's voice came hopeful and cheery.
"It's a flesh wound." Lois deadpans, looking at the pink princess like she was rejected or slow in the head or both. "It just needs a bound to stop the bleeding, but other then that you'll live to wear pink again."
"In that case..." Lana says in a small voice then shouts. "OUCH! It hurts like hell!"
Everyone looks at her as if she grew three heads and she just shrugs up innocently. "Spring Break?"
"Darn, guess I won't be getting that wardrobe of pink clothes after all." Chloe feigns in mock disappointment.
"Sorry, but I do need clothes since I'm not going to die." Lana says as they help her to her feet after Lois ties a piece of cloth tightly around her arm.
Quickly a few of Lex's body guards come to his aid as they help him off of the deck, as a few authorities come over to where they all stood to see what all the commotion was about. Lex pulls from the grip of his men as he points violently at Clark Kent, his eyes spitting mad as he stared down his former best friend.
"Arrest that man!" He shouts wildly. "I want you to arrest that man, he attacked and tried to kill me!"
The cops looked at the freshly bleeding jaw of Lex and the blood smeared on Clark's knuckles that he didn't try to hide and began to take steps toward him to place him in cuffs.
"Not so fast!" Lois protests, standing in front of her boyfriend as the cops try to arrest him. Clark's friend's gathering protectively around him as well not allowing that monster to win anything especially when he was the cause for everything.
"Miss, get out of the way or you and his buddies will all join him in lock up." One officer says as he approached her and places his hand on her arm to drag her out of the way by force if necessary.
"Get your damn hands off my daughter!" General Lane booms, ripping the guys hand from his Lois' arm, his eyes glaring daggers into the officer. "What do the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Sir-General Lane." The guy stutters not able to meet his eyes. "She's stopping us from arresting the guy who assaulted Mr. Luther, here."
"That Bastard violently attacked me and I want him and all his fucking Scooby pals arrested!" Lex rants in a manic tone.
"Hold it, right there!" A women with red, wild curls, that Clark knew instantly, steps from the crowd and stops in front of them, behind her a few new officers stand. Her hands on her hips as a superior look cases her face. "My client pleads self-defense against this maniac who these officers will place under arrest for conspiracy and attempt of murders in the third degree."
"She's right." An officer tells the other who tried to arrest Clark. "Appears Mr. Luthor is being put out as the master mind behind this operation. The crew of vault robbers are confessing everything."
"This is ridiculous, they knew nothing! Absolutely nothing!" Lex screams as the officers turn toward him. "No one knew about me except..."
"Gotcha you d!ck!" Christy is seen arms cuffed behind her as a officer drags her into view. "If I'm going to hell, I'm taking you with me."
She blows him a kiss in the air, and smiles smugly as she is dragged away to be locked up. While a fuming Lex watches as she goes, his eyes snaps back to the officers who start to cage him in. At once he tries to make a run for it but is quickly pounced on and subdued.
"I want my lawyer!" He screams frantically through the air as he is taken away, bucking wildly to get from the cops and to Clark and his friends. "Get my damn lawyer! I will eat all your children! "
Clark and the others turn toward the lady with the flowing red, curls. "Thank you, Mrs. King."
"I said I owed you one." Mrs. King smiles appreciatively at Clark. "Thanks again for finding my daughter for me, and don't worry about any of this mess. I'll have all the paper work and court dates scheduled when you come back from your trip. Probono, of course."
Bart, nudges AC in the ribs, confused by the last word she said and whispered. "Dude, did she just offered Clark some he-"
"Thank you!" Clark coughs loudly at the embarrassing words he heard Bart said with his super-hearing. "It was nothing, glad I was there to help."
Mrs. King nods her head as she leaves behind the rest of the officers as the cleared away to help out somewhere else.
Lois flagged down a EMS, grabbing his arm to get his attention. "Hey, I have a friend here she's been shot. She lost a bit of blood and a huge gap is missing in her shoulder."
He nods his head and walks toward Lana to check her out when Lois grabs him back again. "Get a stretcher it'll make her feel better."
The EMS nods again and announces on his mic to send over a stretcher as he goes to Lana to check out her wound. She standing between Lucy and Chloe as they helped keep her up as she looked like any minute she would faint from her pale looking skin.
General Lane's rough clearing of his throat got the attention of his eldest daughter and her boyfriend who didn't leave her side all day, which was fast approaching night. The sky turning a flame with oranges and red as the sun slowly dipped down to disappear into the sea.
Lois turns around her brow raised and arms folded as she waited to hear what her father had to say.
"Well, it seems like you were telling the truth, for once." He gruffs out looking a little bit less harsh at his daughter, and raises his own brow as Clark boldly places his arm around Lois waist, bringing a wide grin to her face. "Kent, don't push it."
Clark gulps loudly but doesn't back down at the look being directed to him as the General steps closer to them. He reaches out placing his hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Lois....stay out of trouble."
Lois rolls her eyes and gives the General a smart smile. "Love you too, daddy."
Their attentions is brought back to Lana who is strapped to a stretcher, Chloe along with Lucy by her side, her arm bound and in a sling and escorted by an officer.
A wierd look crosses Clark's face. "What's going on?"
"Seems like I'm being deemed Lex's accomplice." Lana shrugs and seeming not to be too upset about it, just only about the pain in her shoulder. "I knew he was up to something, Clark, I didn't know all the details, but the fact is I knew and didn't do anything about it."
Lois steps up to Lana patting her injured shoulder, forgetting she was just shot in it and along with Lana winces at her action. "Sorry, I just wanted to say whatever your reasons were, thanks for stepping in front of that bullet. It was a really stupid thing to do, but thanks anyway. I don't know how good a lawyer this King is but I'll see what deal I can make with her to help you out."
"Oh, thanks Lois." Lana sniffles becoming teary eyed. "We really are like sisters, aren't we?"
A beat passes. "No." Lois says out flatly. "But I'll settle for friends."
Lana smiles widely and is taken away with one last squeeze from all three girls as they watch her go with the medics to the waiting helicopter.
"So, what about you Luce, staying on board?" Lois asks, sinking back and allowing herself to rest into Clark who arms immediately frame around her.
"Are you kidding?" Lucy says giving her sister a wide-eyed look. "You guys are too wild to hang around. I was almost shot, drowned and molested. All in one day!"
Lucy steps up to her big sis and plants a kiss on her cheek. "I'm going back to Germany with daddy, at least I know I can handle whatever trouble I get into there."
The General clears his throat and narrows his eyes at his youngest as the sisters just laugh. "I'll miss you babes."
"I'll miss you too, big sis." Lucy says, and leans close to Lois to whisper in her ear. "And don't get into too much trouble with this one."
Clark chokes a wide grin on his lips, while Lois smacks Lucy's bottom as she laughs and leaves. "I'll send you a post card!"
"You know all the details I want." Lucy calls out over her shoulder, teasingly, and waves off to them.
General Lane steps up to them, his eyes looking at the rest behind. "Well, now is good time as any for those statements.
Lois glares back as his eyes falls on Clark about to pick him out for the first taget but changes his mind at the evil looking he's getting from his daughter and sighs out in frustration. Choosing another victim as his eyes come to Chloe.
"You're up, Blondie." He says and waves her along to follow him as he turns to walk off.
"It's Chloe, Uncle Sam." Chloe stresses out her words.
"Whatever, just come along I don't have all day."
"I better go help her out." Bart states, weakly.
"You just don't want to be interviewed alone with him." AC teases as he follows along side Bart.
"I do not!" Bart shouts at him.
"See, you just admitted it..."
Lois shakes her head at the two off squabbling worse then cackling hens. Her attention is caught as one blue-eyed stud stands in front of her, snaking his arms possessively around her hips. She breathes out contently as she raises her own around his neck to stroke the tiny hairs at the nape of his neck.
"What a day!" Clark sighs out heavily, even with his powers the day had certainly took a toll on him like it did with all the others. His head resting against hers as he drowns in her hazel eyes.
She leans up to take sweet control of his lips briefly, before pulling back to stare mischievously at him. "The day isn't over yet."
True to his world, General Sam Lane held each captive until they spilled all they knew...well not all was told. Wink. Wink. Some things just aren't secrets if they weren't...well...kept secret. And other things, hey, would you tell your sex life to a three star General? The media once they got their fill of 'truths' and speculations and just enough pictures and footage of hyped up teens to make a Spring Break movie, boarded their choppers finally to leave. The port authorities deemed The Royale fit enough not to be abandoned and since the ship was only a few hours away from Bahama's great port, no one wanted to go back to the States after coming so far, anyway.
Soon, even General Lane getting enough fill of crazed teens and seeing his daughter all clingy over the Kent boy, left with his men, not fast enough.
"I'm not clingy!" Lois shouted her departed words to the General as he saluted off from aboard the helicopter.
"Yea, you are." Clark agreed, and swallowed her protests as he captured her lips slow and deep.
Ahead, clear skies, blue waters, and white sands....Nassau, Paradise Island.
It was beautiful!
True to it's name Nassau was definitely a Paradise Island, nothing could come close to describing it. Waters were so blue it was like looking through glass you could see all and anything. The white sand that lined up and down the coast was powdered soft like stepping on newly fallen snow or cotton. This was truly the good life...
For once, Clark could let out a big sigh of relief and mean it. No more worries of hidden dangers, looking over ones shoulder or things being unsaid, kept away. No more secrets. No more Lex. Just this haven. Give him the peace and quite, and this paradise any day of the week, and he'd be a happy man.
"You Bastard!" AC yelps through chattering teeth as Barth pours a full cup of ice into his shorts.
Peace and Quiet? It's so overrated, anyway.
Clark laughs as he watches AC take off after Bart who ran in just a bit more then normal speed to keep away from him, especially since he ripped a lit Tikki torch out of the sand and is now chasing him down the beach.
Clark breaths in deeply the sea stained air, salty and fresh and looks around the beach party lit with glowing torches and a huge bondfire in the middle of it all. A dance floor and band off to one side as people dance smoothly to the tropical beats and the tropical buffet area, where he stood.
"What are you laughing about?" Chloe asks as she stands beside her best friend. "Have you seen Bart, by a chance?"
"Yea, why I'm laughing." Clark says and points to where AC was still trying to whack Bart with the torch. "AC is trying to make a Kabob out of him."
Chloe shades her hand over her eyes as if trying to see better and groans when she hears his taunting laughter at AC. She takes a step in the sand and cups her mouth. "Bart get your ass over here!"
She looks over her shoulder at Clark's look and shrugs. "Spring Break."
He shakes his head and smiles as Chloe storms off after them with shouts of. "Bart, you better hope he gets you before I do!"
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Jamaica
Fingers slowly crawl up his bare spine and suddenly cover his eyes, placing him in pitch darkness. His mouth spreading into a wide grin at the familiar touch and scent that wafts his senses. He couldn't help the little skips his heart was doing as it stumbled in his chest.
Off the florida keys
Theres a place called kokomo
Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all
"Guess, who?" A sultry, low seductive voice whispers warm caresses against his ear. The feel of perky breasts and curvy body molds against his back, sending living flames to reek havoc through his body.
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
Well be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo
Clark reaches back feeling through thin fabric against bare, tight thighs, allowing his fingers to do a little exploring against flesh and receives her delicious shivers in response.
"Mmm, Christy, I was wondering when you would get back." Clark teases in a husky note, as his hands slip over a toned butt and squeezes hard.
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
"Hey!" Lois yelps from his touch and smacks the back of his head for his words.
Clark turns around laughing and is taken back by her beauty, the way her skin lights up under the glow from the Tikki torches. Golden, creamy skin that was enhanced by the layers of waves of chestnut hair that spilled like a waterfall around her. The way all her curves were accented in the fuchsia dress dotted with orange orchard flowers in the print.
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
To martinique, that monserrat mystique
"Wow." He sounded stunned even to his own ears that brought a smile to her lips.
Lois, though, was fairing off just as bad. Her eyes connecting with bronze skin, a god sculpted body of hard muscles as her eyes lapped every crevis and valley on his washboard chest.
Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity
"Yum." Lois says without realizing she spoke out loud and rolls her eyes at hearing his laugh. "Don't think this gets you out of calling me Christy."
"I could never mistake you for, Christy." His breath tickeling her lips as he spoke low and deep from his throat, the sound instantly turning her legs to jello.
Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo
Lois breath hitches in her throat as he runs his thumb over her sensitive lips, and seduces with a slow, lingering kiss to each corner of her mouth driving her to a point of begging for his lips to meet his.
She grabs onto his shoulder as the world fell away from them, her body shatter as his taste assaults her mouth and his tongue meets hers lapping and feeding her own unique taste back into his mouth.
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
"Open your eyes." He whispers against her lips and smiles as she sucks in sharply, taking the breath into his lungs to keep for all time.
Clark opens his eyes to see her expression, her eyes were gems mirroring the numerous ones in the sky as they seemed surrounded by them from head to toe.
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse
"I knew this flying thing had it's advantage." Lois smirks teasingly, caressing the nape of his neck and enjoying the shivers from his body in reaction.
"Like what?" Clark asks innocently while his eyes shows anything but.
"You're way of getting me alone." Lois replies wagging her eyebrow suggestively as he laugh. "But take me back down I want try out some more dance moves with my boyfriend."
Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo
Clark smiles at the sound of Lois calling him her boyfriend and settles them back to earth unnoticed as he leads them off to the dance area where teen were already in the rhythm and sway of steel drums and exotic moves.
Lois turns around placing his hands low her hips as she locks her fingers behind his neck, opening her legs to allow his thigh to slip between as they begin to sway and grind to the music.
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama

"We've been through so much on this trip, kinda makes you think what else is there to do." Clark says against her skin as she bares her neck for him to ravish kisses upon.
"Mmm." She moans and bites her bottom lip. "We still have three whole days left. I'm sure you can use your imagination."
She winks at him, mirroring his own wide smile as he sides his hands down to cup her bottom through her short dress. "I dont' know, I have a very good imagination."
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
Well get there fast
And then well take it slow
Thats where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo
She cups her hands around his face and pulls him down for a searing liplock, sucking his bottom lip into his mouth as he groans out in approval, but suddenly pulls back his mouth from true paradise.
"My parents!" Clark groans and hits his hand against his head.
"Eww, thanks." Lois feigns being sick. "You kiss me and think of your parents?"
He glares at her but couldn't help the smile on his lips. "No, we're gonna have to tell them about us, which is going to lead to telling them about what happened on the cruise."
"Smallville, calm down." Lois scolds lightly and laughs at his boyish fear. "You'd ever hear of the saying?"
Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why dont we go
Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
"What saying is that?" He sighs. "I'm screwed?"
Lois shakes her head and gives him a seductive look. "No, you'll be saying that later."
Her hazels met blues as a confident smile graces over kissable lips. "Whatever happens on Spring Break, stays in Spring Break."
Or does it?...
