I have been a stranger in a strange land
Clark landed on the balcony, wearing the remains of a muddy MetU sweatshirt, blood on his shaking hands, but the broken twigs in his hair, they made Lex break. Clark dropped to his knees. “Lex, can you help…I can’t do this alone.”

Lex kissed each bloody unbroken knuckle. “We’ll do it together, Clark.”
