OMG!!! I can't believe that U left it there! But anyway on a mor positive note... This line---

If I was still alive by the time Chloe gave birth I actually might be a little surprised…with the way things were going I was afraid during one of her “emotional” times she was going to take a piece of kryptonite and beat me with it…----

Ok Guys....You Ready???? LoL Here's Chapter 10 Part B...and only about Twnty minutes Late LoL Enjoy and tell me what you think...

Chapter 10 Part B

(Clark POV)

It was quiet…we sat around the kitchen table in complete silence. I had my elbows on the table and my chin was resting on the peak of my hands. My clothes were burnt and the sleeves of my shirt were practically gone. My mother had some dust on her and her eyes were still wet from tears. The tears she cried what felt like hours ago but was probably only minutes. Silence had engulfed the room and neither of us knew what to say to break it…

“How did this happen…Clark…Clark talk to me…what is going on?”

Her voice was frantic and I closed my eyes. What was I supposed to say? I have no clue what happened…I keep going over it in my head and nothing makes sense. I remember running into the fire to look for Chloe and when I saw her she was batting the flames off her body screaming. I grabbed her and super sped away from the fire. Once we were in front of the house I was frantically trying to pat the fire out that was burning her shirt. It wasn’t until she stopped wriggling and calmed down that I realized there wasn’t a scratch on her. Not one burn. Her skin was a bit pink but nothing more.

There were tears on Chloe’s face as she sat by my mom. My mom had an arm around her trying to comfort her but it wasn’t doing much good. I glanced at her and it was the first time I’ve ever seen Chloe look broken. I sighed. I spoke as reassuringly as I could.

“I don’t know what’s going on Chloe…but we’ll figure it out…I promise.”

She glared at me and moved away from my mother’s arms.

“Is that all you can say Clark? Everything will be fine…We’ll figure it out…Look around you! There is something going on with me and we have no idea what it is or how to fix it!”

She got up and when she did her chair slammed back. She shook her head and more tears fell down her face. It made my heart hurt. It killed me that I couldn’t do or say anything to make this better for her. Things have been increasingly rough on her ever since she found out about the baby and I was afraid it was just going to keep getting worse.

“Clark Meteor rocks make me sick…I can walk through fire with out getting a single burn on my body…”

She trailed off but I didn’t need her to finish the sentence. What if she was becoming like me…It’s not necessarily a bad thing it’s just…we don’t know how it’s happening or if it could hurt her and that’s unacceptable.

I got up and walked over to her. The first time I tried to pull her into my arms she hit me and pushed me away…but the second time when she hit me I wouldn’t let her go and she wound up collapsing in my arms crying. I held onto her and my mom slowly got up and exited the kitchen to give us some time alone.

“Hey…I love you and even if everything isn’t ok we’ll still get through it because you have me and I won’t let anything happen to you. So…anyway…”

I thought changing the subject might help get her mind off things.

“What do you say we get you cleaned up…”

I gave her a small smile.

“You’re looking kind of ashy to me Chloe.”

That got a small smile from her and she sniffed.

“You too…your shirt is all ripped.”

I nodded and moved her to the direction of the stairs.

(Chloe POV)

As we were walking up the stairs I stopped and he bumped into me from behind. I just remembered Lana was supposed to come here…with everything that just happened I forgot to tell him. He glanced at me with an inquisitive look.

“Why are you stopping?”

“Because I forgot to tell you the reason I came home early.”

He motioned for me to tell him.

“Well I did what you said and I called Lana…long story short we made up and she told me that she’s being stalked by someone. And before you ask no I don’t know who. Lex has had his men working on it since they found out and there aren’t any leads yet. But see Lex is going out of town and I might have offered Lana a place to stay.”

He looked at me and his mouth dropped open.

“Tell me your joking…”

“Not exactly…I thought she’d say no because the two of you aren’t exactly on speaking terms…but she didn’t…she actually seemed pretty happy about staying here. I wanted to let you know she was coming to stay for a day or two before she actually got here. Plus I think something’s going on. We’re going to have to be careful while she’s here Clark.”

He sighed rubbed his face with his hand and nodded.

“I guess I better go get the rest of your car off the front lawn…and make sure the burns on the grass are gone…man Chloe…I really wish you would have said something sooner.”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Yes Clark I should have mentioned this while I thought I was burning in a car explosion…it’ll only take a few seconds for you to clean up…stop your whining. I’m going to shower.”

I leaned over kissed him and went upstairs to shower off the dust and soot from the fire. If I was becoming like Clark I sure hope I got the super hearing and super speed also….I could go on vacation whenever I wanted without paying plus hello super hearing….better than any listening device!


(Lana POV)

I was putting some things in an over night bag when Lex came into the room. He was leaning on the doorframe watching me. I smiled at him.

“What?”

He shook his head…

“Nothing…you’re beautiful you know that?”

I chuckled and zipped up my bag. I faced him and there was a small smile on his face.

“I bet you say that to all your fiancé’s”

He laughed and walked into the room.

“You’ve got me pinned to a tee…”

I nodded.

“You know it.”

He leaned down and kissed me. I returned the kiss eagerly and when he pulled away I grinned up at him. He had a frown on his face, which made the smile leave my face.

“I really hate leaving you here while all this is going on Lana…I don’t like the thought that while I’m away someone could be here hurting you…I don’t know what I’d do if anything ever happened to you or the baby…you inspire me to be a good man…I’d be lost without you.”

I stroked his face and kissed him again. He was always saying the most amazing things to me. I’ve known ever since Lex and I got together that he was the one I was going to spend the rest of my life with…curious as to why? When I was with Clark things were never this simple…now I’m not saying anything bad about Clark because he always treated me well.

But with him it felt like I was always forcing our relationship to work…we rarely agreed on anything and when it came to the big stuff, the things we should have been going to each other for…we were always on opposite sides of the spectrum…But with Lex…he gets me. He doesn’t underestimate me and he treats me as an equal. No lies…No secrets…just plain unadulterated honesty…and that’s one of the many reason’s I love him. When I spoke my voice came out soft and reassuring.

“Everything is going to be fine Lex. I’m staying at the Kent farm and it’s going to be a full house there…so no worries.”

He raised his brow at the comment.

“Yes I do recall you telling me that earlier…I am curious as to why you’d except Chloe’s offer though considering you didn’t even want to be in the same room as Clark a few days ago. What caused this change of heart? If you don’t mind me asking…”

I moved away from him and sat on the bed. I knew this was coming. It had been bugging him all day and not that he was about to leave he wanted to know the reason that I decided to stay at Clarks…it was more curiously then jealousy…Lex knew I loved him he wasn’t worried about Clark. I sighed and looked up.

“Honestly?”

He nodded.

“I don’t expect anything less…”

“Clark is different Lex…”

His head tilted to the side a bit and the look on his face became intrigued.

“What makes you say that Lana?”

I rolled my eyes.

“Because I have eyes?”

I paused and he looked amused.

“I don’t know how but I know there is something different about Clark Kent…he has a secret…I know that Chloe knows it…but he’s never been able to be honest with me about it…and that’s a very large part why our relationship didn’t work. They expect me to ignore every weird thing that goes on involving him…and I’m done doing that. I’m done justifying why things happen…I want to know what his secret is…and I’m going to find out whether they want me to or not.”

When he looked at me I saw pride flitter across his face and then a look of satisfaction took its place. He walked over to me and lifted my hands into his.

“Is this how you really feel…No going back? You want to find out what Clark’s been hiding…no matter what?”

He was looking deep into my eyes appraising me. There was something there that looked off to me and then I realized this was another one of his insecurities. What he was about to tell me he felt would make me think differently of him and so he was giving me a chance to back out…A chance to claim ignorance on one of his darker obsessions.

I know there are things Lex doesn’t tell me. I’m not completely naive…but the difference between his secrets and Clarks are…Lex excludes me because he doesn’t think I’m ready for what he’s doing…he loves me so much and he’s afraid that if he shows me the darker sides of himself that I’ll leave him. Clark didn’t tell me because he didn’t trust me with his secrets…That make all the difference when I look at it. I sat up straighter and squeezed his hands to make sure he knew we were on the same page.

“Lex…no going back. You and I are in this together. I know…I know there are some thing’s that you don’t like telling me. Everyone needs there privacy and I’d never invade yours. But I want you to know…you can tell me anything…nothing you say to me could change the way I feel about you.”

He gave me a small smile and nodded. He stood up and took my hand.

“In that case…before I go I have something to show you…”

He lead me out of the room we walked around to the west wing of the hallway and he lead me down to the last door on the left. He paused in front of it and turned to me. His voice was stern and warm at the same time and the look on his face was a mixture of excitement and reservation.

“I want you to listen closely Lana…what I’m about to show you…there are very few people who know about this…this…room is part of a top secret project that I have been working on with one other person. A doctor…If everything works out the way I have planned it could be one of the largest discoveries man kind has ever made…Once I open this door…you are a part of this and will be expected to see it to it’s conclusion…”

He trailed off and I took a deep breath. I nodded for him to continue and when he did my heart sped up and chills went down my spine.

“It may involve certain people you care about…and I’m not exactly sure what will become of these people after everything is completed…I would never force my work upon you Lana…what I do with my research and experiments…can sometimes be dangerous and even on occasion a little brutal. With that said if I open this door you’re putting yourself into that aspect of my world…The part that you don’t see all the time.”

He looked down then put the key into the door. I held my hand against my stomach and for a minute I wasn’t sure if I wanted to see what was on the other side. I wanted to run to the other side of the house and never come back here. But I stood my ground. Lex didn’t open the door but he did look at my face and he must have seen the hesitation because he stopped.

“Lana…if you don’t want to…”

I cut him off and my voice was strong…determined.

“I do. I’m tired of being in the dark Lex. I’m tired of waiting for everything to come to me…It’s time I started taking the initiative. Show me…”

He looked at me and his eyes bore into me.

“Lana I want you to think about this for a second…no don’t interrupt me…humor me ok…the hesitation...maybe that’s your heads way of telling you that you’re not emotionally ready to be involved in this yet. Please just make sure…because like I said before once you see this you’ll need to lie to the people you care about…you’ll have to pretend like everything is the same even though you know it’s not…there will be tests and experiments that will happen…and you might have to look that person in the eye the next day and act like you weren’t the one helping to perform them. Can you do that…can you turn your back on people who you’ve known your whole life to get answers that you feel you deserve?”

His voice was intense and the look on his face was inquiring. Could I? Could I turn my back on my friends and help Lex with whatever he was doing? I looked into his eyes and I saw him laying himself on the line knowing that whatever he was about to show me could change our relationship forever…Yes…I could leave my old life behind…the places…the people…I could start a new chapter in life…by Lex’s side. We are a family through thick and thin and in a few weeks through good and bad times…It will hurt and doing this will probably change me in ways I didn’t know yet but this was about answers…finding out the truth…I’d help Lex and if I had to walk over a few people to do it…then I’d do what I have to do.

He knew the moment I found my answer. I looked up at him and squared my shoulders. My voice was strong.

“Yes…I can do that. Lex I care about a lot of people but I love you. And I’m not just some schoolgirl choosing her crushes side over her friends. I am a women looking for answers to questions I’ve had my whole life. I will do what I need to in order to get those answers. I don’t care what’s behind that door…if it can help us find out what I want to know then I want you to let me into that part of your life…and I promise you I will not disappoint or betray you…”

He sensed my seriousness and leaned down to capture my lips in a hot kiss. When we separated he turned the key and opened the door. I took a deep breath and followed him inside…what I saw when I looked around the room made me gasp and grab for something to hold onto. Lex put his arm around me to steady my body and my grip was bruising as I clutched at his arm white knuckled. Oh my god…..

(Lois POV)

I pulled my car into the front of the Kent farm and got out. As I was walking over to the backdoor I saw Clark chucking something in the garbage…was that a license plate? I shook my head he’s so weird…and extremely dirty. Does the boy ever stop doing farm work?

“Hey Smallville…what happened to your clothes? It looks like you stood a little to close to the fire place.”

He glared at me and walked closer.

“Lois…I’d say it was nice to see you…but I’d be lying…”

I gave him a sweet smile and fluttered my eyelashes.

“Oooh Clarkie…how you flatter me…”

I looked around and before he could say anything else I frowned.

“Aren’t you freezing out here like that? It’s like fifty degrees out Smallville…What were you…born on an ice planet or something…jeez”

He looked jumpy and gave a nervous chuckle.

“Uhh…no…no of course not…what is it that you want Lois?”

I looked around and didn’t see Chloe’s car…crap! I really didn’t feel like driving to Metropolis right now it was getting late.

“I guess Chloe’s not home huh..”

He shook his head and started to walk inside. He spoke over his shoulder.

“No she’s here. When I left her she was about to get in the shower…I’ve been out here a while she should be done.”

I frowned and followed him inside.

“She’s here…well where’s her car?”

He froze in his tracks…and there goes the stuttering again…he’s so weird.

“Umm well…you…see…there…she…it was stolen…yea…that’s what happened.”

My eyes bugged out.

“Oh my god and you didn’t call me Smallville! Is Chloe ok? Sometime I really don’t know where you put that brain of yours…does it hide from you or something? It’s probably afraid you’ll dress it in plaid….”

I continued my tirade and Clark just looked confused. I saw his head turn towards the stairs as if he was listening to something. I saw him move closer to the steps and a couple of seconds later Chloe came down. He looked relived. I shook my head.

He was such a pansy sometimes…it’s like one minutes he was this uber confident guy and the next he was a dorky farmboy…Clark Kent…schizophrenic! I heard Chloe’s voice and tuned out my thought.

“Hey Lo’ what brings you buy?”

She smiled but it didn’t quite reach her eyes. I shrugged

“I got the weirdest text message for you it’s encrypted, which by the way I didn’t even know you could do to a text message but anyway yea and…it’s from a number I don’t recognize. I tried to break the code to read the message and find out who it belonged to but all I got were dead ends. Thought I’d bring it to you and let you try.”

She laughed.

“So what you’re saying is you tried to hack a message that was sent for me by the way and when you couldn’t get it open you decided to bring it to me?”

I grinned at her.

“Yup”

But then my face lost its smile and I went over to Chloe.

“But forget this for right now…are you ok? Clark told me about your car…”

Her eyes went wide and she whipped her head over to Clark. His voice was high as he spoke to her.

“Yeah…I told Lois your car was stolen in Metropolis. She didn’t let me finish though…”

He looked back at me.

“Chloe wasn’t there when it happened. She went to come home and the car was gone. That’s when she went back to The Planet and called me and I came and got her…end of story…see she didn’t get hurt.”

I looked at Chloe so she could confirm what he was saying because for some reason I just didn’t believe him. It sounded like he was hiding something.

She nodded and gave me a small smile.

“Yup…that’s exactly what happened.”

She walked away from us and into the kitchen but I could still hear her voice.

“You know what…it’s actually good you’re here Lois.”

She came out of the kitchen with a bottle of water and I saw Clark raise an eyebrow at Chloe and speak.

“It is?”

She slapped him in the stomach as she walked by and he ooffed as I laughed. Clark followed Chloe to the couch and they sat together. I followed them in and stood there waiting for her to finish.

“Yes Clark…it is.”

She looked back at me.

“When was the last time we all hung out? Lana is coming over there’s some kind of stalker after her or something so she’s staying here for a few days.”

Whoa whoa whoa…She’s staying here…that is weird. After everything that happened at her engagement party I didn’t think I’d be seeing her around Clark or Chloe anytime soon. Guess I was wrong…

“That’s interesting…I didn’t think I’d see you hanging out with Lana anytime soon…”

When I trailed off Clark snorted and his voice came out whiny.

“Yea neither did I.”

Chloe hit him again and I smirked. She had him wrapped around her finger and I thought that was too funny…Never underestimate a Sullivan-Lane girl…we do it best! Her voice was amused when she spoke again.

“Anyway she should be here soon and it might be nice for all of us to do something together for once…you know…pretend to be normal people our age who aren’t pregnant, married , engaged broken hearted and having normal everyday problems…just a couple of kids kicking back and having a movie night….could be interesting .”

I saw Clark grin and I shrugged. What the hell right…she’s right…we don’t do this stuff often…might as well pass the time here instead of at home alone.

“Sure Chlo…bring on the movies.”

She clapped her hands and just then the doorbell rang. We all looked over at it and nobody moved.

(Clark POV)

I rolled my eyes.

“No please Lois…you’re standing but don’t get the door…I’ll get it.”

I got up off the couch and walked over to the door. I knew it was Lana and I really didn’t want to open the door and see a look of accusation on her face…I sighed. I opened the door and two big guys I suites immediately pushed by me and started searching the house. I looked over extremely confused…

“Hey…HEY…What are you doing?”

They faced me and stopped for a minute.

“We were instructed by Mr. Luthor to secure the indoor and outdoor parameters to ensure Miss. Lang safety.”

Ahhh…of course…Lex sent bodyguards. I glanced at the door and Lana gave me a small smile. She looked a little pale but aside from that I didn’t see any animosity in her reaction to seeing me…weird. I opened the door wider for her and she walked in with a small bag.

“Hello Clark.”

“Hey Lana…I’m sorry to hear about this stalker thing…but I’m glad Chloe and I could help.”

She nodded and moved into the room.

“Me to. Thank you for letting me crash here while Lex is out of town. I appreciate it.”

I nodded again. I looked at Lana and placed a hand on her arm. She stopped and looked at me.

“Listen…I’m really sorry…about…you knows what happened at your engagement party. I didn’t mean what happened really…I…”

She cut me off and sighed.

“Clark I’ll tell you the same thing I told Chloe…yes it sucked having my night ruined but it wasn’t you fault…you were infected with that woman’s love crap…it reacted badly with you guys…I get it…lets not rehash it ok?”

“Sure...ok”

She nodded and then walked into the living room where Chloe and Lois were talking. I heard them great her and then they all started laughing. I smiled I haven’t heard Chloe laugh like that in a while. Maybe tonight would be good for her. When I came into the living room they all turned and laughed. I raised an eyebrow and looked at Chloe. She smirked at me.

“Since the united States is a democracy Clark the girls and I determined that we should all have a say in deciding who went out to get the movies and junk food.”

I nodded. Sounded fair and yet there all smiling in my direction. I spoke cautiously.

“Ok…”

Lois and Lana chuckled and Chloe spoke.

“Well it has been decided that you will be getting refreshments and movies…”

“Me…why?”

Lois took her turn and spoke up.

“Because Smallville…you’ve been out voted.”

I rolled my eyes.

“What are you talking about….I didn’t even get to vote…I thought this was a democracy.”

Lana grinned and chimed in.

“It is so even though you didn’t vote it doesn’t matter because majority rules. And we..”

She pointed to her Chloe and Lois…

“Are the majority..”

They all smiled and I shook my head. They all ganged up on me…nice…this is what happens when you put one man in a room full of women…they take over like dictators and bring you to your knees until your doing whatever they want….

I got a paper and pen and wrote down what everybody wanted including some incredibly disgusting things for Chloe and Lana. I grabbed the paper and went to walk out as I turned around to take one more look at them the. I smiled.

There we all were. All together, with everything we'd all been through over the last five years with the exception of Lois. Though she’s been through at lot with us in the past two years. The battles we'd all fought with Meteor freaks and each other, the relationships that were formed and have evolved, the feelings of friendship and love for each other, stronger than any feelings we'd ever known could exist. And somehow in this moment while I stood there looking over at them laughing and goofing around…I had this really strong, really upsetting feeling, that this was the last time we'd all be together like this….

[aqgalaxy]

You know the explosion in the car thing reminds me that episode in season 2 or was it three? well the episode where the FBI agent planted a bomb in the truck Clark was in and it blew... Reminded me of that, so funny similarities. Like promised you made it worth the wait. Love the girls ganging up on Clark. NICE PPMS

[Chlarkislove]

You know it's going to be hard for them to lie to Lois since she's so snoopy plus Chloe is her cousin. I can't wait to see what's gong on with Chloe. I like how the girls ganged up on Clark too lol because even if he did vote he'd still be out voted. LOL

[Chlarkfan_phantom]

Chloe getting Clark's powers???? Interesting....ppms

[13ReporterGirl13]

Aqgalaxy--- I totally stole that scene from the Episode your talking about! LoL

Chlarkislove--- Lois is nosey...HaHa...and she just might find a few thing's out in the second to last chapter...we'll see LoL

Chlarkfan_phantom--- I can Neither Confirm nor Deny Her Getting Clarks Powers...Because if I did then you'd know my Secret LoL Therefore you'll just have to keep reading and see.

There are Only 7 Chapters left To this Story...There is a lot going on so Hopfully i'll be able to tie everything up nicely...If I Miss explaining anything...Please let me know...

As of right now I think all the building blocks in Lex's plan are comming together nicely. You won't know what this "super secret project" is though until the very last Chapter....And in that Chapter the Justic Leage will be returning...
