Message: <blockquote data-quote="Staffan" data-source="post: 2671442" data-attributes="member: 907">Clark, Lana, Chloe and Lois are at the beach. Lois, wearing an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny (but not yellow-polka-dot) bikini hits her head while trying a backwards dive, and as Clark jumps into the water to rescue her, someone swims up to her *really* fast and picks her up, carries her out of the water, and does CPR. This someone turns out to be Arthur Curry, "but my friends call me AC." Oh, and Chloe has a little talk with Clark about him not telling Lana about his powers.Clark starts his classes at the local community college, with a class of world history being taught by a professor Fine (played my James "Spike" Marsters). Fine compares Lex Luthor to various well-known bad guys, like Hitler. Clark stands up for Lex, saying something like "Lex might not be a saint, but you're exagerrating." After class, Fine offers Clark a position as research assistant to help him with a book on Luthor, but Clark turns him down.AC and Lois hit it off, though Lois starts out a bit stand-offish, commenting on AC's poor taste in colors (really, wearing green shorts with orange T-shirts?). Clark is acting highly suspicious of AC, and with the help of Chloe does some research on him. It turns out that he's a student at the University of Miami, where he studies Marine Biology and is on the swim team.AC and Lois are having a friendly moment out at the beach (not THAT friendly), when AC suddenly keels over in pain and starts bleeding from his ears, at the same time as a whole lot of fish start floating belly-up. AC takes a quick tour underwater, seeing a gizmo of some sort but being driven off. Turns out LuthorCorp is testing a new sonic weapon to be used to defend ships against underwater attacks. AC sneaks into the LuthorCorp facility, applying some C4 to the weapon prototype, but Clark interferes, grabbing the bomb and covering the explosion with his own body. AC and Clark leave, do some underwater fighting, and eventually start talking.They decide to go talk to Lex, to try and persuade him to abandon the weapon. Lex denies having it at first, and then says "Like I'd just flush the hundred million I spent on research down the drain." AC leaves in disgust, saying "Told you it wouldn't work." As AC heads for the beach, preparing another attack, he gets hit with a tranq dart.AC wakes up strapped to an examination table, being severely dehydrated. Lex questions him about his abilities, and teases him by holding a glass of water near him, and then pours it out on the ground. Lex then leaves to hold a demonstration of his new sonic weapon for some military brass. Clark breaks in, spray AC with water, AC breaks free, and they destroy the weapon before Lex can demo it for the naval guys. Naval guys are disappointed and angry, saying "Seems your weapon has self-destructed. Way to waste our time, cueball."AC and Clark talk some more, with Clark telling AC he'd better lay low for a while, because Lex will be trying to recapture him to study his abilities. AC says farewell to Lois. Clark asks Fine if the reseearch assistant position is still open, and it is.</blockquote>
