The Slayer and The Kryptonian

Chapter 3

Buffy looked on completely in shock as Clark Kent the boy who was her neighbor, and classmate, was now performing CPR on a bald man he had just saved after Clark had just ripped the ceiling of a car in half. She stood completely still with both hands at her side motionless, and almost numb with her mouth barely open as she tries to find the words to describe what she had just witnessed. The bald man started coughing up water and Clark quickly turned his head only to see Buffy staring back at him wide eyed. She looks into his crystal blue eyes under his soaked dark bangs and can see how desperate and scared he is.

 “I could have sworn I hit you.” The bald man says in relation to Clark. Clark whips his head back to the man on the floor and was about to come up with the quickest lie he could think of but he was at a loss for words and before he could even think or say a word Buffy was already talking for him.

“You didn’t, thank God!” Buffy said while appearing at Clark’s side looking at the bald man as Clark helped him up. The man starred at her oddly.

“Clark tackled me to the ground just in time.” Buffy continued while giving Clark a smile of gratitude. Clark looked at her and admired how calm she was in this situation.

 “Then why are you both wet?” Lex asked pointing his finger to them as all three of them stood there completely drenched. Again Clark was going to say something but Buffy interrupted without giving it a second thought.

“After you went into the water Clark jumped in after you. He took too long, and I had gotten worried, so I jumped in to save both of you.” Buffy replied sounding absolutely sincere. Lex looks her up down and doesn’t think she could have done anything anyway seeing how small she is. But decides that he might as well drop the subject as his head throbs. He looks over to Clark and holds out his hand.

 “Thank you, for saving my life.” Lex says truly grateful. Clark takes his hand and smiles. “No problem.” Clark replies.

“Lex Luthor.” Lex says addressing himself

“Clark Kent.”

“Buffy Summers.” Buffy says holding out her hand so that she wouldn’t be excluded. Lex takes it and smiles. All three of them look over at the bridge as they hear a vehicle coming and stopping. An older man steps out of the truck, dressed in typical farmers clothing. Clark quickly recognizes him, Jonathan Kent his father. And he does not look happy. Jonathan quickly looks at the situation in front of him. “What the hell happened?” Jonathan asks as he makes his way down to his son, Buffy Summers, and a bald man in a wet suit.

“It’s alright dad.” Clark assures him as he makes his way over to him.

 “I’m Lex Lu…” Lex managed to get out before Jonathan rudely interrupted him.

“I know who you are.” Jonathan says glaring at Lex as if he were his arch nemesis. Lex looks down and bites his lip as he meets another person who doesn’t like him. This is pretty constant for Lex no matter where he goes considering his father is Lionel Luthor a.k.a. the owner of Luthorcorp. Clark looks at his dad confused at how he knew who Lex was and how he already seemed to not to like him. Jonathan Kent was a man who never judged anyone off of the way they looked or without ever meeting them. So, the fact that Jonathan already didn’t like Lex was defiantly concerning.

“What happened?” Jonathan asks again looking directly at Clark his eyes full of concern.

 “I was driving and I didn’t see a log in the middle of the road. The next thing I knew I had lost all control and was plunging off the bridge.” Lex confesses hoping that honesty will get him on Mr. Kent’s good side. Unfortunately he is wrong.
