Every Story has a Beginning.

Every Story has a Beginning.

This is theirs.

It was only a matter of time… Before the summer of 2004 began, Chloe Sullivan was sent to protective services for protection against threats that would compromise her chance to testify against Lionel Luthor for the murder of his parents.

Tragic events soon followed, changing the lives of everyone in Smallville forever.

Now, three months later, Martha Kent stands vigil by her husband’s side as he fights on life support. Clark is missing. Lex Luthor recovers from massive Poisoning. Lana moves to Paris and Chloe Sullivan is dead.

That last news didn’t sit well for the West Germany born Army Brat.

After years of speculation, Lois Lane finally arrives to Smallville, Kansas to investigate her cousin’s death. On the way to find Clark Kent, Chloe’s best friend in town, when a sudden lightning strike right in front of her SUV forces her swerves off-road.

Little did she know, the amenisiac stranger she meets stark naked in the middle of a corn field, is the man she’s been looking for all along.

“Are you okay? What’s your name?”

“I don’t know.”

“I need to get you to a hospital.”

“I am fine.”

“You’ve just been hit by lighting. You’re stark naked and you don’t even remember your own name. You have a fairly loose definition of ‘fine.’”

Clark finally decided to turn around and face her. Lois averted her gaze momentarily. “Look at his face,” she told herself, but didn’t take her advice. After a long moment she finally said, “I have a blanket in the trunk, don’t move.”

“Wait,” Clark said. “Who are you?”

She turned.

“Lois. Lois Lane.”

Thus, concluding, Lois Lane and Clark Kent’s historical meeting

The best ones start that way…

Raised an independent Army brat, Lois’ idea of social niceties are sketchy at best. She often teases Clark while he in turn tries to tease her back. While their growing friendship stays platonic, it’s hard not to notice the obvious chemistry these two polar opposites share, even though the two seem oblivious to it.

Like the moment between them during a pep rally.

“Come on, Lois, didn’t those guys on the base teach you anything?” Clark taunted her about her lack of aim with a football.

Lois remains unfazed. “Wouldn’t you like to know? Doesn’t matter, because you are going down.”

“That’ll be the day.”

She throws and he sinks.

The true test of a relationship is how it endures stress. In the case of Clark and Lois, they have enough stresses thrown at them to qualify for their own reality show, Duel or Die! Getting on with each other is almost harder than foiling meteor rock-powered villains or dodging billionaires battling for posession of stones of fabulous power. Good thing they plan never to see each other again, huh?

Despite their bantering and constant bickering. When it matters, they’re always there for each other, even when they don’t intend to be.

When the Kent’s receive a surprise visitor in the form of Lois’s kid sister, Lucy, circumstances out of Lois’s control forces her to come to terms that some people she felt she knew were actually not who she thought they were.

“Yeah, well, as was proven over the last few days, I can seriously misjudge people,” Lois replied. “If you’ve come to kick me off the farm, I can totally understand.”

“Actually, I’ve come to tell you we have food in the oven if you’re hungry.”

“Thanks.”

Clark smiled. “How ya holding up?”

“I just got off the phone with the General.”

"Oh, that's all the screaming I heard from the house."

Lois smiled. “Apparently he’s very disappointed in me for letting this happen and as far as the family chain of command goes, I am the weakest link.”

“I’m sorry,” Clark said.

“Don’t be. There’s something cathartic about telling a three star general to go to hell,” Lois said and turned away. “You know all these years I thought I had my sister pegged, but in reality, she’s a complete stranger to me.”

“Even if that were true, if she called tomorrow, you’d be there in a second to help her.”

Lois thought a moment. “Yeah, I would. She’s my sister.”

Clark stepped in closer. “I don’t think Lucy’s all that bad.”

“You’re amazing, Smallville. You always look for the best in people even when they walk all over you.”

“I guess that explains why we’re friends.”

Lois looked suspicious, but amused. “Oh, we’re friends now?”

“Well, I won’t tell anyone if you don’t.”

Lois nodded, smacked Clark in the arm and left the loft. Clark looked after her with a touch of admiration and then looked into the telescope just as two objects collided creating a bright flash of light. If that wasn’t a big enough metaphor, they made sure the song lyric “now it all begins” coincided with the collision.

The Future Clark Kent becomes humanity’s greatest superhero in a future that calls him Superman, a name befitting the man the young Clark Kent will one day become. It’s also a name given to him by none other than his wife-to-be, Lois Lane. A woman whose future glows as bright as her husbands’.

Although, their future may be set, it is their journey to becoming who they were born to be that makes a story told from the beginning all that more interesting.
