Against All Odds (closed for silvertongue217)

It was a musky smell, the two of them mixed, almost overwhelming. Though she could taste herself as he leaned forward and kissed her, the familiar taste was mixed with something distinctly him. The two scents wove together, tangling into something new and utterly perfect. Emily continued the kiss until she was out of breath, she pulled away.

"Clark, I want to do this with you every day, all day," she moaned, hips bucking as she wrapped her legs around him. Her sensitive clit bumped against his skin and she sucked in a breath through her teeth.
 
"You promise" Clark told her smirking in pleasure as he captured her in another deep kiss "Because I will hold you to it whenever possible"

He went back down kissing and nibling his way back to her clit. He eagerly took it into his mouth sucking and teasing it with his teeth before he dived back down to her sweet pussy. He eagerly tasted her moaning in pleasure and panting as he used all of his skills to pleasure her.
 
Emily was lost then.

Clark was far more skilled with his tongue and mouth than he had ever let on. Every moment of their coupling had primed her for this. For him. She came for him then, her hands clutching at the back of his head, keeping him there, as her body bucked and writhed. She cried his name out into the room, not caring if every boarder in every room heard it. He was so fucking amazing.

"Okay," Emily whimpered, body crashing down from it's high and shaking with sensitivity. "Clark, I can't-" she laughed, hips wiggling and hands releasing his head as she struggled to breathe.
 
"I know" Clark said smirking in pleasure. He had done it, he had made her cum hard. He was pleased pleased beyond belief so much so that he resisted the urge to jump up and cheer.

Instead he came up kissing up her bare naked body and claiming her lips once more. He poured his love for her into the kiss and his passion until they were both breathless.

"God your incredible" He told her laying back down on her other side and moving so she was laying on his chest "I mean it I truly do I dont think I have ever been this pleased in a long time"
 
Emily couldn't help but smile, pleasure and pride shining in her sightless eyes. She could smell their sex in the air, taste it almost. She could head the thundering of Clark's heart, his body throwing of the scent of his arousal and satiation like a siren wailing. It called to her, calmed her. She snuggled into his side, kissing him gently, her body tender and sensitive beyond reckoning.

"I'm so sorry about last night," she panted, "So sorry Clark. I love you so much."
 
"Oh please" Clark said shaking his head and laughing "I dont care about that any more"

He leaned in kissing her deeply his hands rubbing and caressing her body. He reluctantly moved away eyeing her once more. He stretching moaning in pleasure as his naked body throbbed from the feeling of a deep satisfied fucking.

"You sure you cant come back with me?" Clark asked watching her "I mean to the farm? I dont want to be apart from you...." He trailed off eyeing her.
 
Emily frowned at the thought. Before it had been a regretful one, she knew she would miss him. Now though, the thought of being apart from her made her stomach clench and her heart ache. It seemed impossible now, utterly horrible.

"How long are you going back for?" She asked, hand running up and down his chest,fingers learning the lines of his body.
 
"Not as long as my family would like" Clark said smiling softly "I didnt want to be apart from you that long"

He sighed and leaned in kissing and caressing her fingers "I also dont want to spend to much time there im not quite ready to go back to the country" He admitted wrapping her around his body.
 
Not long...

"Maybe I could come. Just for a bit..." Emily said, pushing through her reservations. She hated to leave now, with so much going on for Nemesis. But... Maybe it was time to be a bit selfish. Hell Cat was always about to help. "I would need to organise a few things. But maybe..."
 
"Are you serious?" Clark said rising up to look at her his eyes alight with pleasure "It would mean so much to me"

He leaned in kissing her deeply pulling her closer to his heated body. His hands roamed freely touching and caressing her as he looked into her eyes. His pleasure in her was apparent his body singing it loudly and clearly at the same time his mouth did and he told her he loved her over and over again.

Until all he could do was kiss her and show it
 
Nemisis lashed out in a flurry of arms and legs. The world around was relatively quiet, but the alley she was in was full of activity. Thanks to Nemesis and Hell Cat there were four bodies on the ground, the mobsters twitching and unconscious. Nemesis' foot collided with the face of the remaining fighter and she went tumbling to the ground.

"Well," Said Hell Cat, stepping up beside her and raising a brow behind her mask. "You're particularly feisty tonight. Care to share?"

Nemesis groaned as she straightened up, stretching her limbs.

"Is it loverboy again?" Hell Cat pried. "Please don't tell me you dumped him!"

"No!" Nemesis said, turning to glare at Hell Cat. Or at least, that was the intention of the action. "He wants me to go visit his home town with him."

"And... You don't want to? Not ready to meet the parents?" Hell Cat huffed as she dragged one of the thugs behind a nearby dumpster.

"No!" Nemesis snapped, kicking the thug beside her who started to rouse. She bent over and frisked him. "I want to.That's the problem!"

"Heads up!" Hell Cat threw her something, Nemesis caught it, her fingers wrapping around the soft fabric cover of a notebook. She tucked it down the front of her corset.

"How long is this trip supposed to be?"

"I don't know, a few days or so?" Nemesis said.

"Well go," Hell Cat shrugged as htough it were the simplest thing in the world.

"I can't! With all of this Maestro stuff going on I need to be here," Nemesis argued. Hell Cat laughed and shook her head. "You know NYC, Kitty. This place never sleeps!"

"A few days won't hurt. You need the time off. Plus, if you don't go you will be stuck here mooning over him. You wont be of any use to anyone anyway!" Hell Cat said, crossing her arms and leaning against the wall of the alley.

"What if-"

"Look, Nem, there is gonna be crime here whether you're here to stop it. You've been at this for years. Shit, heaps of years! How old are you anyway?" Hell Cat laughed, "Look, take a break. I'll handle it while you're gone."

Nemesis just shrugged. There were too many factors to consider, and she was tired and grumpy after a long night. She returned back home, sneaking in as her Nanna slept soundly (thanks to her regular sleeping pills). She set the new notebook up on her scanner while she went to clean up. As she showered she washed off blood and warmed her aching bruises. Her mind cast back to the day she had spent with Clark a week ago, when he had invited her on the trip. Her cheeks flushed and her lower parts throbbed at the thought of it. She wanted to go, she truly did, but life with Nemesis was so complicated now that she didn't know if she could risk it.
 
THREE DAYS LATER


"Final boarding! Last call Last Call"

"Where is she" Clark murmured checking his phone once more as he hovered on the train. After their magical night together Emily had said she would need to think about if she could go or not. She had messaged him in the morning saying she would meet him at the train.

Yet he hadnt seen her so far

"I hope you didnt change your mind" He murmured shaking his head. His family was aware she was coming and even more so he would be sad if she flaked out. She wasnt that kind of girl or at least he thought she wasnt.

And so he waited
 
Emily got out of the cab, shrugging on her backpack and ushering Nyx out of the door. She fumbled in her pocket for some cash, and the cabby took it eagerly enough. The hardest part was getting her suitcase from the cab ; the driver decided his duty had ended and was grumbling about needing to get to his next fare.

When Emily finally pushed through the crowd at the station she heard the final boarding call for her train and swore under her breath. She had slept through her alarm, lost her purse, forgotten her keys, tripped over her cell phone charger after it fell from her bag, and then she had gotten all the way to the cab to realise she left her damn bag behind.

If all that wasn't enough, the notebook she had decoded had references to a meeting that was set for one of the days she would be gone.

Everything in her life was pointing to the fact that she shouldn't even try to leave.

But she had given Clark her word, and she would be damned if she flaked on him.

So when she dashed onto the platform it was moments before the train pulled out. She could sense him off in the distance, scanning the distance and then focusing back on his phone.

"Clark!" Emily called out, "I am so sorry I'm late!"

The conductor turned, seeing her struggling towards the train. He moved his whistle away from his lips and then motioned for her to hurry, before shaking his head and dashing over to her.

"Let me help," he grumbled, taking the suitcase from her, and putting it onto the nearest train carriage.
 
Relief flooded Clark the moment he heard her voice. HE turned rushing forward just as teh conductor met her and grabbed her luggage.

"I can take that but thank you" Clark Said to him nodding politely and turning to look at Emily "You had me worried there for a second" He told her his body telling her just how concerened he was.

"I knew you would be here though" Clark said cracking a smile as he linked their arms together "Come on lets get on before it takes off without us!"

He took her hand by now more than comfortable with helping her and leading her. He brought them onto the train and after their tickets were checked Clark led her to their small little suite. The journey wasnt long enough to warrant an overnight but he hadnt wanted them to have some privacy.

"So I bet your nervous" Clark told her laughing and sitting across from her "have you ever met a guys parents?" he asked curiously.
 
"Nervous? Emily laughed, "Oh, just a lot. I've met a guy's parents before but that was different because we went to high school together."

As the train shuddered into action Emily's leg raised,her foot running along Clark's calf.

"What about you? Am I the first girl you've brought home too meet you folks?"
 
"Never" Came Clarks response even as he moaned in pleasure from her foot "I mean in my town every one knows every one so they were always aware of whoever I might have been seen with I never brought them home however"

The beverage cart came through and Clark rose winking at Emily and paying for them both to have a drink and a sandwhich. Clark handed her to her and made a point not to help her knowing it would annoy her.

"I am worried about you up there the roads a lot more uneven and so are walks" Clark said to her his voice on of concern and not judgement "Your going to have to be a bit more careful than your used to"
 
Emily smiled at his concern.

"Thanks for the warning," she said, reaching down and giving Nyx a rub behind the ears. "It might be worthwhile taking my cane when we are out then. Actually, Clark... Did you tell your parents about me? Like, being blind? And Nyx? She is not a sleeps outdoor kinda girl.." Enjoy prattled on; truly nervous for the first time that morning.
 
"I did" Clark said rubbing the back of his neck clearly nervous and sheepish.

"I didnt want them to be shocked and I felt it was best to let them no there okay with Nyx and you wont have any trouble from them though I think there going to treat you as if you were some thing fragile and im sorry about that but you know its in their nature"
 
"No, I'm glad you did," Emily reached out and rubbed his knee, "It is better that they know. People don't do well when they're shocked. And don't worry, I understand that they mean well."

Emily sat back and smiled at him.

"But there is something I would like to know, why are you sitting all the way over there?" Her smile changed to a grin.
 
Clark laughed shaking his head "I guess I was just excited"

Clark switched seats moving so that he was sitting next to her. He kicked his boots up stretching out and moaning in pleasure as his back popped.

"So why were you almost late?" He asked taking her hand flipping it over so he could trace and touch her palm and her fingers.
 
Emily sighed and leaned against Clark, pleased at the contact between them.

"God, where to start..." Emily then launched into a long winded explanation of the follies of the previous night and morning (leaving out the Nemesis stuff, of course). From there they easily settled into their normal chatter and affection while the colours lf the state blurred outside their window.
 
They chatted comfortably during the two hours trip, Clark watched as the city disappeared giving way to the forest and trees that made up the rural side of New York. He didnt say much to her about how he was feeling being back but his body did. A combinations of nerves and dread began to fill him and even though he didnt mention it his voice did.

And then soon they were there

Clark sighed watching them glide into the station. Already he could see his brother Tom waiting for him. Tom was a big bear of a man and even though Clark was the oldest Tom was considered the senior on the farm.

"Fat lot of good its going to do him" Clark murmured under his breath as he stood "you ready to go?" Clark asked pulling on his leather jacket and reaching down to scratch Nyx behind the ear.
 
The train ride was lovely. A two hour trip with no choice but to relax and enjoy each other's company. Emily was quite content with it all, and for the first time in a very,very long time she had put the cares of the city behind her. But as they drew closer to their destination she felt Clark growing tense, his tone more anything. When the train chugged into a station Clark waa muttering under his breath.

"Everything okay, Clark?" She asked, concern tinging her voice as she noticed his rigid posture. She slipped her back pack on and room hold of Nyx's harness. She reached out for her suitcase.
 
"Oh its nothing" Clark said shaking his head and sighing "I am just not ready to come back yet"

He helped her up and took her suitcase with a shake of his head.

"Like you thought I wasnt going to take it" Clark said leaning in to give her a kiss before turning to the door.

"Well time to get this over with" Clark murmured before glancing at her "this has nothing to do with you trust me I just dont think I was really ready to come back to the country already I miss New York"
 
Emily shook her head with a smile. She wondered, not for the first time, if he would feel betrayed if he knew about her true capabilities. That she was actually Nemesis. Those thoughts were pushed from her mind as Clark led her over to where his brother was waiting by their family truck. Emily heard the thump of Clark throwing her suitcase in the back, before he came to make the introductions.

Out here, away from the city, her senses were more muted. Thinks in the city shined like parts of a tightly woven web of stars. Out here they glowed with a dulled hum. It was a nice change, not so overwhelming. Emily focused on his brother, not surprised that he had the same hulky build as Clark. Her face turned up at his voice, when he introduced himself.

The trip to the farm was a longer one, over bumpy roads. Emily's senses allowed her a thorough idea of the layout, but she was longing for the colours of it all. She had a bgreyscale map when she wanted an oil colour masterpiece. She asked Clark to describe it for her, and he obliged, despite the fact his brother was listening in intently.

When they arrived they let Nyx off in Clark's front yard. She was glad for the freedom, dashing about and sniffing everything playfully. Then Clark took her elbow and guided her towards his house, remembering to alert her to steps and dips.

"Gotta admit, I'm kinda nervous right now..." Emily whispered as they approached the house, sensing his brother had gone to park the truck.
