Dinner at the Kent Farm was a little better than usual, just because this was the first time Lana had someone to share it with since Clark disappeared. She'd stayed in hopes he would come back eventually and they could say a proper goodbye, rather than have him come back to find her gone. It seemed like the right thing to do, and now more than ever

"Anything, really," Sam said with a sigh. "I've read a lot in the newspapers, but it really would be interesting to have a first hand perspective."

Sam was actually -- enjoying himself, which he hadn't done in a long time. Not since before Dean died at least. He still could feel the absence of his brother every time he breathed but it was lessened here, because he wasn't alone. He had someone with him, and that was good enough for the time being.

Lana took a deep breath. "Well...I'm sure you've read about how the meteors have changed people, given them these superhuman abilities." She shook her head a little. "It seems like all the crazy ones are drawn to me..." She paused for a second, thinking over what she'd just said. "And contrary to popular belief, not all of them are.

Yes, there were some people who got the gifts who were beyond repair, but then there were guys like Andy who -- well, he was good people. Even if he didn't seem like it at first.

"I can understand that. People can be a bit unforgiving when it comes to things they don't understand."

"Yeah. I'll admit I thought the same thing once. Granted there were a lot of them who tried to kill me, but-" She shook her head. It was no excuse and she knew that. "Who they are didn't change because some green rocks fell out of the sky." A pause. "Well, that's not entirely true. It depends on the mutation."
