Car Crash

After school Claire was making her way home from school, walking this time to enjoy the sunny weather and have some time to think to herself.

She stopped in the middle of a bridge and looked at the rolling water below. I really should get rid of this infatuation of mine, I mean we can barely be considered acquaintances, not even friends. How I wished there was some kind of off switch to these stupid feelings.

Claire got back to reality, by a loud screech and turning to its origin, she saw a silver Porsche 911 out of control heading in her direction. Claire's first reaction was to jump out of its way, then she remembered that behind her there was a small railing and after that the river. Claire didn't have enough time to think, and in her panic she was run over by the car and they both plunged into the river below.

Lex Luthor felt the cold hands of death on him, it was no surprise to him as he went off a bridge and he felt his death was a certainty. Yet something in him rebelled against such a certainty.

'This can't be how I die! I am Lex Luthor and I don't believe in destiny!'

Just as he felt death's cold grip on him tighten, he felt warm hands on his chest pushing against his lungs and he started coughing out water. As Lex began regaining his sight, the first thing that greeted him was a beautiful face, with striking blue eyes and hair as dark as the midnight.

"Angel."

"What? Are you okay, you have just been in an accident."

Lex staggered to his feet and looked around him, he could see he was at the bank of the river, he saw the railings of the bridge were broken and his Porsche was currently sinking in the dirty brown water of the river.

"Are you okay, Do you remember what happened?"

"Yeah, I was driving while talking on the cellphone, when a truck dropped something on the road and it punctured the wheels in my car."

"That's good that you remember. Does your phone still work, i think you should still go to the hospital"

Lex took his cellphone out of his wet jacket pocket, it was thankfully a waterproof model and he managed to call an ambulance.

Afterwards he looked at his savior, she was completely wet just like him. Lex thought back to the accident and he seemed to remember hitting someone just before going over, someone who looked exactly like her.

"Did I hit you with my car? I remember running someone over."

"N-no, i mean if you did i would be dead."

'That seems to be a completely logical answer, yet when I look at her body language, why is it that I can't help but feel like she's lying.'

"Excuse me, but could you lend your phone to me? I have to call my dad to come get me home."

"Of course, here."

Lex got rid of his distracting thoughts and handed his savior the phone.

Claire took the phone, called Jonathan and after explaining that she was all right, got him to come pick her up.

While Claire was on the phone Lex was observing her and thinking.

'She has a schoolbag, so is she a highschooler? I spent the whole time coming to Smallville cursing my dad for exiling me here, but I think this place has its own secrets for me to uncover.'
