    “ Unpredictable things happen in life. We all know that. The real question is how you respond to it in the face of a crisis. Is it with honesty and integrity? Because it's what I've tried to do in my personal life and what I promise to do as mayor of Smallville. I will never waver when it comes to trying to do what's right for my family and for this town. ”
    — Lana Lang Cushing[src]

However, he left Smallville when his father died and did not return until at least a decade later. During the period, Lang dated and married Kyle Cushing, starting a family with two daughters.

    When the Kents moved back to Smallville, Lang helped them resettle in the town and was asked to be an undercover agent for Lois Lane, investigating the true intentions of Morgan Edge. Edge discovered her involvement and instead asked her to lead a program, though she did not possess any knowledge of what it was for. Eventually, Edge revealed his true intentions and sparked anger against the Cushings. Thankfully, the family assisted the people of Smallville against Edge and regained their trust, soon with Lang running for mayor.
