I Love you

                                    

                                          
Everyone was sitting down, mingling once again. The pressure of impending doom was long gone. Rena had her back to the hallway that led to the infirmary, so she didn't notice when a trio of people walked in. The room suddenly went hush again, and everyone was looking behind Rena. She turned around and saw Sy standing there, supporting a man.
Law broke the silence by stating the obvious. "He's awake." The man looked at Rena, and his eyes went wide. "S-Serena?" he whispered to himself. She looked back at him blankly.
"R-Ree? Is it really you?" he asked, tears starting to form in his eyes.
Rena looked a little shocked; she slowly stood up. Only one person called her that. "H-how do you know that name?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Ree... it's... it's me," he started to choke up. He leaned up off Sy's shoulder and started walking towards Rena.
Rena took a step back, confused. She had a feeling, but it was impossible... right? He was supposed to be missing. She needed confirmation. "Who-Who are you? Tell me. There's only one person that calls me Ree... you can't pos—" she was cut off.
"It's me, Rena... It's Clark," he said, finally reaching her, reaching his hand up to touch her cheek.
"C-Clark...? N-no. It... It can't... Clark has been... m-missing for years," she said, with tears falling down her face.
"It... It's really me, Ree," he smiled softly, his eyes filled with emotion.
She looked up at him, into his beautiful emerald eyes. It had been so long since she had seen them. She was speechless, almost breathless, in his gaze, in his touch. She had to take a step back and—SMACK.
She slapped him. Right across his pretty face. "Idiot," she whispered, looking down.
He stood there frozen, his cheek still red from her slap. He moved his head to look back down at her. She looked back up at him and into his eyes.
"Idiot. You goddamn fucking IDIOT!" she yelped through her tears before grabbing the collar of his shirt and yanking him down, planting her lips on his.
Meanwhile, everyone was just watching the scene in pure confusion, except for Blaine and Sy, who both had known his true identity from the start. They just stared with a smile.
"Um... why is she kissing him? Wasn't he the vessel for the bad guy?" someone questioned.
"Shhh, you'll ruin the moment. His body was used without his permission, so it wasn't his fault," someone else replied.
"Besides, I think they know each other," another person said.
"Obviously, I don't think Mystic just goes around kissing strangers that passionately," someone else stated.
Rena finally broke from the kiss, and Clark just stood there in shock, blinking a few times before looking down at Rena, who was now fifty shades of red in her face. Seeing her blushing caused his face to turn slightly pink.
"Um..." he started to say before Rena interrupted.
"Why didn't you come back? I waited for you," she said, pushing him back a little as she looked away.
He looked down at her and sighed. "I did come back. It was... just... a lot later than I wanted it to be. I went to your grandma's house, but no one was home, so I took a walk down to our spot by the lake and... Actually, that's the last thing I remember. I was there, looking out at the lake, there was a flash of light, and everything went dark. Then I woke up here," he explained.
Sy stepped forward. "About that... Your body was taken over by a deranged Guardian, and he was using your body for the past three years."
"Three... three years!? No..." Clark turned towards Rena. "No... don't tell me it's been that long."
