Could you write a forbidden love story for Smallville!Finchel where Rachel is Lexana's daughter and Finn is Clois' son, please?

Canon Divergence after Smallville 6x03. Set 20 years later.

Being the son of the Man of Steel had its advantages. Finn could use his super speed to make it to school or anywhere else in the blink of an eye. His super strength made him the ultimate athlete. Being very tall and muscular like his dad didn't hurt his chances when it came to sports and popularity either. His clumsy, quirky side on the other hand... that definitely came more from his mom, as she always said.

"Rise and shine, Smallville Jr!"

He was having yet another dream about flying over the town of Smallville when suddenly he blinked, looking up into hazel eyes. His mom just chuckled as Finn somehow fell out of bed. The tall boy lamented the fact that summer and lazy days at the Kent farm were finally over.

The only thing he had to think about during those long, hot days were his chores but his abilities helped him to get through them in just a few minutes, then he could be back to playing video games, reading comic books and doing absolutely nothing. Just the way he liked it.

"C'mon, alien superpowers or not, you're running late, Superboy."

"Sorry Mom! I'll be ready in a minute!"

Finn eventually emerged in one of the signature, blue flannel shirts he always wore. He and his dad definitely had a similar taste in clothing. He drank milk straight from the carton and smiled sheepishly as his mom narrowed her eyes at him.

"His first day of high school. This sure brings back memories." Clark smiled proudly as he waved goodbye to his son and daughter. Finn and his younger sister Marley were gone in the flash after hugging their parents goodbye.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" Lois asked quietly, a worried expression on her face as she turned to her husband. Clark chuckled, knowing how much of a softie Lois was especially when it came to her babies. "You know they're... innocent. They get that from you."

"I have faith in them. They'll be fine. Besides, we taught them how to control their powers a million times." Clark replied calmly, thinking about how much he didn't want to be the strict, overprotective dad like his own father was. He wanted more than anything for Finn and Marley to have the fun life he missed out on when he was a teenager, to not feel like they were freaks or that their powers were a bad thing.

Finn and Marley were two of the most popular kids at Smallville High, in contrast to Clark's experience. To the rest of the world, Clark Kent was a mild-mannered reporter and his kids were ordinary teenagers. No one realized that he had a secret life as the world's greatest and most famous hero. Sometimes Clark let Finn and Marley join him on the less dangerous rescue missions, learning what it took to protect the innocent.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" Lois leaned up, kissing him on the cheek. He cupped her face, kissing her sweetly. They had evolved from two people who couldn't stand the sight of each other to the most romantic lovebirds in the world.

"Only a million times. When did you become such a sap?" He joked, dodging her when she pretended she was going to hit him and they both chuckled as Lois chased him around the porch. Their dog, a big, fluffy golden retriever called Bonnie chased both of them as well, wanting to get in on the action. Martha Kent watched the couple from the kitchen where she sat with her cup of coffee, rolling her eyes fondly at their antics. She was pleased that her son had grown into such a good man and now he had a family off his own.

"Are you ready for school, Sweetheart? I'll drop you."

Lex wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders as his brunette daughter came into the kitchen of the Luthor mansion. She was so beautiful just like her mother, he thought and had that same gentle innocence he associated with Lana.

The dark-haired, green eyed woman and her husband brought Rachel into a group hug. They were a close knit family. Ten year-old Eric was smirking at her, playing a video game as Rachel walked in, both kids wearing nerdy looking sweaters. Fourteen year-old Rachel's long, dark hair was reminiscent of her mother's while Eric was a mixture of both parents with pale skin, sandy hair, green eyes and Lana's eye shape but a mischievous look and half-smile that were all Lex. His playful, cheeky side definitely was part of his Luthor heritage as well. Their parents were proud of how academic both children were, easily ranking at the top of their respective classes every year.

"I can't wait for this school year to begin. I'll join the drama club and the glee club..."

"You know you don't have to join everything, Rach," Lana told her gently, chuckling at Rachel's enthusiasm. "It's fine if you want to but your daddy and I will love you just the same if you don't."

"But Mom, when you were my age you were a cheerleader... you were the most popular girl at school."

"You’re right I was but eventually I realized cheerleading isn't for me and popularity isn't all it's cracked up to be." Lana pinched Rachel's cheek, gazing at her fondly. She sighed, thinking it felt like a second ago she was holding newborn, tiny baby Rachel in her arms while Lex looked on proudly with tears in his eyes.

"Your Mom is right, Rachel. It's great that you want to be a singer, you're ambitious - it's in your Luthor genes - but don't feel like you need to be perfect to please us. All that matters is that you try your best."

Rachel smiled, accepting a kiss on the cheek from her dad. She was close to both parents and was in awe of her mother’s beauty but had always been a total Daddy’s girl. She and her dad understood each other perfectly.

"Thanks Mom and Daddy. Daddy, please don't drive too recklessly today."

Lex laughed lightly, finding it amusing that his daughter never approved of how fast he drove and his other cocky ways. His expression fell when he suddenly remembered a young boy with dark brown hair and innocent blue eyes being worried about his driving in a similar way. It felt like an infinity ago. He shook his head, clearing his mind of any thoughts of his old friend.

Lex dropped Rachel and Eric off at their separate schools, kissing Rachel on the forehead. Rachel was the opposite of a rebellious teen - she didn't ask him to park a million miles away from school so she wouldn't be seen with him or act like she was disgusted with her dad. She was proud of being a Luthor.

"Are you sure public school is the right decision, Lana? I thought we decided to keep Eric and Rachel in private school as much as possible...after all... the Luthor name doesn't exactly help them fit in and I should know. I just hope Rachel stays safe."

Lana shrugged, leaning into her husband's side. She loved his protective side and after twenty years of marriage, there was still that spark between them whenever he so much as touched her or her eyes met his piercing blue ones.

"Having a whole team of bodyguards tracking her should help. I think it's best that we respect Rachel's decision. She kept saying she wants a more normal high school life. Our kids have never had to worry about money or anything the other students have to deal with. Maybe it's a good experience for her to not live like a celebrity for once."

“I don’t know Lana... Rachel... you know she’s soft. She has always had that sensitive side. People will take advantage of that.”

“I wonder who she gets that side from?” Lana grinned playfully.

"If anyone hurts her - especially one of those meteor rock tyrants - I'll destroy them." Lex announced, his voice dropping low and deadly while Lana nodded, her own expression becoming darker. She loved knowing that she was the only one who knew and had access to her husband's secrets - the experiments he had in Luthorcorp labs, the weapons he had developed.

As she saw it, the two of them were the king and queen of the Luthor empire while Lionel was more powerless than he ever had been before. Lex had the old man on a tight leash and had warned him not to ever harm their children if he wanted to see them again. Their children knew the truth about what their parents were doing and knew that the Luthor couple was fighting to protect the greater good, despite the unsavory methods they sometimes used. Lana finally had a man in her life who was completely honest with her and that was one reason why she knew Lex was the love of her life.

"Now where were we, Darling? You look ravishing today, as always." Lex smirked, taking Lana into his arms and the two of them made love in the master bedroom. Lana sighed as he completely swept her off her feet with a few charming words and gentle touches. It was frenzied and intense, both of them knowing they had their duties to get back to and the forbidden aspect of it only made it more exciting.

Rachel's first day wasn't going as well as she thought it would. She had no one to sit with at her classes or talk to in the sea of unfamiliar faces. Though she had introduced herself to several students in her usual cheerful, animated way, everyone had just rolled their eyes at her or ignored her. She blushed when the tallest boy she had ever seen with a boyishly handsome face walked right into her. She had never had physical contact with a boy before.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry! I'm always doing that!" He yelped, looking apologetically at Rachel.

"That's fine. I'm also very clumsy at times." Rachel replied sweetly. The boy smiled at her in a friendly manner for a moment but when he noticed the way his friends - a boy with a Mohawk and a girl with blonde hair and hazel green eyes were staring at him, shaking their heads, his smile dropped and he walked away hastily.

Rachel sighed, taking out her phone to text her dad and her bodyguard. Even they seemed to be too busy to reply to her texts. As much as she loved them, it made her sad that her bodyguards, her little brother and her parents were always the only friends she had as no one in her age group ever wanted to befriend her even though she tried hard to act kindly. Her father told her he was unpopular as well and that she shouldn't worry about it but every so often, the lonely feeling was almost too much to cope with.

Rachel put on a fake smile, pretending that everything was okay that day when she came home from school and her parents asked if she was alright. Lex and Lana looked at each other, knowing that Rachel wasn't being fully honest with them but not wanting to pry into her life. Every night, she played board games with Eric as she usually did, the family's beloved black cat Tallulah circling their feet.

The small brunette girl was walking past the football field one day when she noticed the group of cheerleader girls she had come to recognize as the school's Queen Bs, smirking and laughing at her. She saw the frosty blonde with the hazel eyes and her friend, a Latina girl with black hair staring at her the most. The blonde was egging the others on. Rachel was terrified of these girls and walked in the other direction.

Later that day, Rachel was walking past the football field again, hoping that she was alone. She absently clutched the gold necklace with the star pendant that her Daddy had given her as a gift when she was six for his “Little Star.” The field seemed to be empty. Then someone ambushed her out of nowhere. It was that Latina girl from before who always had the angry expression and she was glaring at Rachel murderously. This was Santana Lopez...Rachel remembered hearing her name being called at attendance.

“What do you think you’re doing, Luthor?” She snarled, advancing on her viciously. Santana was clearly the hotheaded counterpart to Quinn Fabray, that frosty blonde with the tight-lipped smile she always stood beside.

“I’m not doing anything.”

Rachel tried her best to ignore her and that seemed to annoy Santana even more. She stepped in front of the short brunette, blocking her way. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she rolled her neck like a cobra. Rachel shivered, swallowing hard.

“You think you’re the most talented one at this school, don’t you? You think you’re the biggest star in the sky?”

“W-what are you talking about?”

“You get all the solos in Glee club. It’s always about you. I’m more talented than you are, Luthor. I’m the one who deserves the spotlight and now all of a sudden everyone only wants to talk about Rachel Luthor.” Santana muttered in a bitter tone.

“I’m sure you’re very talented. Perhaps you should practice more, Santana and ask for more solos instead of directing your hostility toward me.”

“I’m sick of you being around. This school would be better without you.”

Rachel frowned, freezing and pressed her lips together as she faced Santana. She had been bullied constantly at her previous school, a private academy for girls and the one before that. Her dad had pulled her out of some of her previous schools and spoken to the principals, trying to help her find one where she fit in better but nothing seemed to help. Now it was happening here as well. Rachel felt determined to stand her ground for once as Santana glared at her with her flashing ink dark eyes.

“I don’t know why you’ve decided that I’m your arch nemesis, Santana, but I won’t let you push me around. Your jealousy of me suggests that you’re scared or perhaps very insecure and perhaps you should consider therapy. I’ll inform the school’s principal about your bullying if you continue to torment me. You don’t scare me.”

Santana huffed, clearly annoyed that Rachel wasn’t taking her on and her eyebrow arched dangerously when the shorter brunette talked. Rachel gasped as Santana held out her hand with the palm open and there was a large flame dancing, hovering over her palm. It was like it was magic but Rachel knew magic didn’t exist. Then Santana seemed to lose all control and her body erupted into flames that shot out towards Rachel at the same time she lost her temper. Santana was yelling in anger but it was like she couldn’t control herself.

“Wait, Santana...stop! What’s going on?! Help, someone! Someone save me!” Rachel cried. She tripped and almost fell over in to the flames. Someone swooped in as quick as a flash, catching her before her feet could even touch the ground.

“Stop, Santana. Leave her alone.” A masculine voice warned as he placed Rachel back on the ground.

All of a sudden there was a tall, hulking figure in front of Rachel, shielding her body from the intense heat. It was that boy from before, the charming, tall one with those very light amber eyes, freckles and short brown hair. Rachel didn’t know how he did it but he shoved Santana away, the fire not even hurting him and tossed her back like if she weighed nothing. The black-haired girl screamed as she was sent through the air. Santana rolled across the ground, hitting her head and seemed to fall unconscious. Finn winced, realizing he had thrown her a little too forcefully.

Rachel couldn’t see what was happening as she turned away with her hands covering her eyes but all of a sudden the fire was gone and the boy was smiling at her warmly.

“You... you saved me! You’re so strong...how did you do that?”

“It’s nothing,” He laughed awkwardly. “I’m glad you’re okay, although Santana looks like she might need some help now. She needs to learn how to control.... herself better. It’s Rachel, right? Rachel Luthor?”

“Yes... and you’re Finn... Finn Kent?”

He nodded and she fidgeted awkwardly, not knowing what to say in the presence of her handsome savior. Finn was the most attractive boy she had ever seen and she was stunned that he had helped her. He was like her guardian angel. Rachel had a lot of questions.

“What happened to her? How did the fire just go out? It was so odd... I swear she just created a fire out of nothing but it must be some trick she used to scare me.”

“Um... I guess something on her must have caught fire. Exploding cell phone? Spontaneous combustion?” Finn stuttered nervously. Rachel could immediately tell that he knew more and was hiding something but she didn’t press it. “It just um...went out.”

A tall blonde girl walked into view, leaning down to inspect Santana’s wounds and fuss over her. It was Brittany Pierce, another cheerleader who always seemed glued to Santana’s side even more than Quinn was. Brittany held her in her arms for a moment, kissing the girl’s forehead. Rachel was stunned that Santana actually let anyone get close enough to her to touch her like Brittany was and that the blonde wasn’t afraid of the aggressive girl.

“Britt?”

“Santana? Are you okay? Please be more careful.”

“I’m fine...I just... I wasn’t expecting...”

“I know, you’re so brave and strong.” Santana’s expression softened instantly at Brittany’s words and her anger seemed to go away.

The black-haired girl groaned as she sat up, Brittany helping her up with the shorter girl’s arm around her shoulders. Santana scowled at Finn and Rachel one last time as she left but was too weak to fight them as she walked away, leaning against the blonde.

---

Rachel and Finn became friends of sorts as the days passed. He was the first real friend Rachel had ever had and she was trying to control her enthusiasm about that, as she didn’t want to scare him off. The only problem was that Finn was only her friend when they were alone or virtually alone. If his friends Quinn, Santana and Puck especially or any of the other jocks were around, Finn would pretend he had to go somewhere and nervously make an excuse for why he couldn’t be with Rachel.

She knew it was because he was embarrassed to be seen with the unpopular girl and it hurt her but she was grateful for his friendship even if it had to be a secret. She didn’t have any other options. Rachel had told her parents excitedly about the boy who had saved her from the fire, not understanding why they fell silent, giving each other weird looks. She couldn’t wait to introduce them to Finn one day.

One day, Rachel was being bullied by Quinn Fabray and her friends on a school trip. She slipped and fell, horrified as she realized she was falling from the side of the bridge they were standing on. She didn’t know how but Finn somehow was standing in the water and caught her just in time. Rachel was shocked and speechless, her heart beating fast with the realization that she had almost fallen twenty feet into the river. Before she knew what was happening, their parents were called and the teacher was reprimanding Quinn and the others.

Rachel’s bodyguards rushed towards her, followed by her dad and mom.

“Rachel, what happened? Are you alright? They told me there was an accident,” Her dad asked, glaring in Finn’s direction and taking her. “I’ll hold her.”

“I’m fine now, Dad. I’m just lucky that Finn was here to save me.”

A tall, burly dark-haired man with round, blue eyes and a slender woman ran towards them. Rachel quickly realized they were Finn’s parents. The woman began to fuss over Finn, wrapping a blanket around him.

“Finn, Honey, what happened? Are you hurt?” She asked. “You nearly gave me a heart attack.”

When they noticed each other, the two couples froze and stared at each other for the longest moment. The tension could be cut with a knife as Lana and Lex glared at Clark while Lois just snorted angrily, crossing her arms. Rachel looked at Finn in confusion and he just shrugged, equally confused.

“Oh, it’s you two. I should have known,” Lex growled, standing in front of Rachel and Lana protectively. “Long time no see, Clark.”

“We have nothing to say to you, Lex.” Clark responded icily, taking Lois’ hand.

“Neither do we,” Lana added evenly, her green eyes darkening as she frowned at him. “I suppose it’s your son who put our daughter in danger?”

Finn shook his head, looking at his parents and hoping they would understand.

“I’m sure he had nothing to do with it. He was probably helping her,” Lois spoke defensively, placing a hand on Finn’s shoulder. “Finn would never do anything to harm someone. He’s a big goofball.”

“Yes, Mom - Finn was actually the one who saved me!” Rachel told them. “I was falling and he... he caught me! I don’t know how but... I owe him my life.”

Lex just shook his head, leading Lana away. Neither of them knew how to handle this situation. Their emotions were in turmoil. Lex couldn’t deny that he missed Clark and while she no longer loved him romantically, Lana couldn’t deny that part of her missed having the tall, blue-eyed man in her life as a friend. Other than Chloe, Clark had been her best friend for years and there was always that hole in her life. Clark was like a brother to both of them but as Superman, he was their greatest enemy. Clark felt a wave of sadness hit him, realizing once again that Lex was the one person he had never been able to save when it came down to it.

“I suppose I should thank you, Finn. It seems that the Kents have a habit of showing up in a crisis... especially when bridges are involved. However, you won’t be seeing anymore of my daughter. Come on, Rachel, let’s go.”

“But Daddy... he’s my friend!” Rachel sobbed as Finn’s face crumpled. Lex glanced at his daughter in concern. Rachel never usually disobeyed him or argued against anything he said but she was defensive of Finn. “This is the second time he rescued me. He’s a good person.”

“If that’s what you want, Lex, then you’ll have it. My son doesn’t need to be around Luthors. Finn, it was kind of you to save Rachel but you don’t need to be her savior anymore,” Clark’s voice turned cold, his face hardening as Lex glared at him. “Maybe this was all part of her father’s plan to lure me out here, for all we know.”

Lex and Lana snorted, shaking their heads.

“Dad, wait! Rachel... she’s not like that. Please don’t do this!” Finn pleaded with Clark who just shook his head, adamant against allowing himself to be friendly with the Luthors again. He no longer trusted them and Lana was just as bad as Lex in his eyes. The two teens were practically in tears as they walked away with their parents. Finn ran up to Rachel before Clark could stop him.

“My dad is stubborn but we’ll find a way to see each other again, I promise.” Finn whispered in Rachel’s ear before quickly running back to his parents. Rachel blushed as she couldn’t deny she had a crush on the tall teen and she hoped by some miracle he felt the same about her.

She got into her father’s car, pressing her face against the glass and Finn climbed into his parents’ truck, staring at Rachel the whole time as well. Even if their parents hated each other for some unknown reason, Rachel couldn’t find it in herself to dislike Finn, who had only ever been kind and protective to her. He was the truest friend she ever had. She hoped he was right and they’d find a way to be together again.
