Fandom: Smallville
Summary: a oneshot from an earlier fic I had made on a forum but never posted on LJ nor DW (didn't have DW at the time) and never will. Kara's lost her husband Oliver, and is alone with her triplets Zara, Dylan and Laura... and her old feelings for her old Kryptonian boyfriend who got betrayed by his wife Tess.


Jan-Es got out of bed, not even covering his body with a sheet, not even glancing at the woman who lay in his bed right next to him.

His eyes were still closed as he opened the door and walked out, all the way until the front door which he too opened and closed behind him.

He sat there in the garden, thinking.

They had moved here after having buried Oliver Queen on New Krypton, after Tess's betrayal, Oliver and Kara's house destroyed by an explosion Jan was sure his evil wife had detonated. At that point he knew she had never loved him. Not even when she had birthed their daughter Sadie. Davis was an ally and Chloe was Doomsday... everything was just so messed up. Tess hadn't even gone with him to their daughter's gravestone... which mother didn't want to visit their late daughter?

He didn't know if the triplets who had to sleep in one guestroom would notice a naked man walking through the garden, and really, he didn't care. A thought of them superspeeding into his bedroom and waking up their mother with  "Mommy, Mommy, there's a naked man in the garden!" made him smile.

I saw a picture of you,
Hanging in an empty hallway.
I heard a voice that I knew,
And I couldn't walk away.
It took me back to the end.
Where everything I tasted all,
I tasted all the tears.
Again.

It started to rain. Raindrops fell.

Outside the rain's pouring down,
There's not a drop that hits me.
Scream at the sky but no sound,
Is leaving my lips.
It's like I can't even feel,
After the way you touched me.
I'm not asleep,
I'm not awake,
After the way you loved me.

I can't turn this around,
I keep running into walls that I can't break down.
I said,
I just wander around,
With my eyes wide shut because of you.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
Let me out of this dream.

Everywhere that I go I see another memory.
And all the places we used to know,
They're always there to haunt me.
I walk around and I feel,
So lost and lonely,
You're everything that I want,
But you don't want me.

I can't turn this around,
I keep running into walls that I can't break down.
I said,
I just wander around,
With my eyes wide shut because of you.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
Let me out of this dream.

Dream.
Let me out of this dream.

I can't turn this around,
I keep running into walls that I can't break down.
I said,
I just wander around,
With my eyes wide shut because of you.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
I'm a sleepwalker,
Walker, Walker, Walker.
Let me out of this dream.

Jan-Es remains sitting there with his eyes closed when he feels a hand on his shoulder which wakes him up.

"Jan? Are you okay?" Kara asks him, standing there in a white nightgown.

The rain still hits their bodies, drops staining Kara's choice of attire.

He wraps his arms around her and gives her a kiss.

"I am now." he says while he gives her a hug.

 "Let's go back to bed." Kara whispers against her ex-lover's lips. 

 She takes his hand in hers and speeds them back to their bedroom, doors silently closing as not to wake the triplets.

The End
