(Clark thought he should pay Lex a visit, through all of the campaign stuff he wondered if it would put a strain on their friendship)

Lex: "What is it, Clark?"

Clark: "Just wanted to see how you're doing. I know we haven't really had a chance to talk since all this campaign business started."

Lex: "Well that's real considerate of you, Clark but don't worry about it. Your dad and I may be in competition but I can keep things civil. I see no need for it to affect our friendship."

Clark: "That's good to hear. All right I should probably get back to the Talon. Lois' not gonna go easy on me today. We're planning the party..I mean the..gathering of support for you and my dad on a good race..and to congratulate..either of you."

(Lex chuckled) "Don't be so nervous, Clark. Whether I win or lose the election I won't hold any grudges against you or your dad."

(Clark smiled and nodded, then left)

(Lex watched him go, then something in his expression shifted)

(That night at the party)

(Lois walked down the stairs and whistled to get everyone's attention)

Lois: "Everyone I've just gotten word from the news room. And you are looking at our new state senator."

(Everyone applauded and cheered, Jonathan and Martha hugged, Clark picked up Lois and spun her around happily)

Clark: "You did it, Lois!"

Lois: "Please this victory goes to all of us. These super biceps sure came in handy a few times too."

(She smirked teasingly as Clark grinned and kissed her)

(Jonathan stepped out of the crowd to answer his phone)

Jonathan: "Hello?"

Mysterious voice: "I wanted to congratulate you, senator in person. Come meet me in your um..barn. Say in about oh..a half an hour."

(Jonathan's happy expression faded as he snuck out of the party)

(He arrived in the barn to find it..empty)

Jonathan: "Who's there? Why don't you come out and face me you..!"

(But then the barn erupted in a massive explosion...)

(Clark, Lois and Martha drove up and gasped)

(Clark quickly put out the fire but then he found his father's body)

Clark: "Dad..? Dad!"

(He wasn't breathing)

Clark: "Dad!!! No!!!! Come on!! Dad!!!!"
