Chapter 12 Part A

(Clark's Thought's)

I was underground at an abandoned base in a large metal cage with one of the largest guys I’ve ever seen. I felt myself swirling around in the air before I was tossed clear across the room into a large metal ventilation system.

Crap…that hurt…I pulled myself up slowly and looked across the cage to him…Titan is what they called him. I was bleeding from my lip and I could feel my body aching. I stared into his eyes and he snarled at me.

“Time to die, Kryptonian”

I held still as he charged me…it was now or never…


(Clark POV)

46 Hours Earlier…

It was mid afternoon and Lois was putting the finishing touches on mine and Chloe’s new bedroom. As I waited for Lois to finish up my mind drifted back to the night of Lex and Lana’s wedding.

After we had driven back to the Talon I helped Chloe upstairs. She threw her purse on the kitchen counter and leaned up against it.

“So…start talking…”

I sighed.

“Why don’t you go get changed and then come out here and we’ll talk…we’ll be here for a while…you should be comfortable…”

I saw the look on her face darken…but she nodded. While she was changing I super sped home and through on jeans and a t-shirt. I was back before she even came out of the room. When she reemerged she was wearing one of my flannels and it made me smile…God she’s beautiful…she grinned at me and sat down.

“What are you staring at Kent?”

I grinned.

“My wife…”

She smiled.

“Clark…we need to talk about it…you can’t keep putting it off…”

I nodded.

“I know…”

She moved over and curled into my side as I drapped an arm around her. I took a deep breath and began talking in a soft voice.

“I’ve been pushing you away lately and I’m sorry…I’ve…I’ve been so worried that I’m going to fail you…and I’m…not used to having someone I can lean on…I’m so used to taking everything on myself that I don’t really know how to…share it with others…I guess. When we got into that fight…and I said what I said Chloe…I swear to you it just came out wrong. I was having a bad day and everything felt like it was crashing down on me…”

I stopped and shook my head. She was listening without interrupting, waiting for me to continue.

“You were right though…you should be the person who makes it better when everything around me is falling apart…and you do.”

I held her hand tighter and she sat up a little with a frown.

“Clark…where here to be honest with each other…please don’t lie to me…don’t say what you think I want to hear...”

I shook my head.

“I’m not…when I included you in my little…breakdown you misunderstood why I categorized you with everyone else…you weren’t frustrating me….the fact that I couldn’t seem to keep you safe was what was bothering me…”

I looked down into her eyes and I saw her face soften.

“I love you so much Chlo and I’ve told you time and time again that I’d protect you from Lex and yet you’ve managed to get hurt twice already and each time I couldn’t do a damn thing about it…and I’m terrified that when it really counts…I won’t be able to save you…”

I knew she could hear the frustration in my voice but I didn’t care…tonight was about being honest and for once I was going to let everything I was feeling out…and hopefully Chloe would too…

[I]She reached up and stroked my face gently.

“Clark…that’s why you’ve been pulling away from me? All this…fighting has been about your guilt…your fear?”

I looked away from her and nodded. I glanced back over when I heard her chuckling. I frowned. What was she laughing at? I’m being serious and she’s laughing at me…when she looked over and saw the look on my face she stopped laughing but the smile didn’t leave.

“Clark…you’ve spent all your energy lately feeling guilty…being scared something was going to happen to me…and that made you distance yourself…You do realize how ironic that is right? How were you planning on protecting me while I wasn’t speaking to you? Stalking?”

I chuckled and shook my head. Chloe always knew how to lighten the situation. To bad what I was about to tell her didn’t really have a light side.

“I guess you’re right…but I’m done with that…I’m hoping that you’ll come back to the farm soon…no pressure…I just…I’d like to keep an eye on you now that Lana and Lex are…officially together…I have a feeling that things will only be getting worse from here on out.”

The sadness was back in her eyes and I swallowed heavily. I really didn’t want to tell her this next part…it was going to kill me to see the look on her face…

“Chloe…there’s something I need to tell you…about Lana…”

She looked down and then back up at me.

“I know…you couldn’t talk her out of marrying Lex…obviously since there…you know married.”

I shook my head, angled my body to hers, and took her hands in mine.

“Chloe…Lana knows…”

I heard her heartbeat quicken and the look on her face turned panicked.

“Oh my god…she knows your secret Clark? Oh god….what are we going to do she’s gonna tell Lex…”

I frowned and cut her off.

“No Chloe…that’s not what I meant. She doesn’t know my secret.”

I was quiet for a couple of minutes while I tried to figure out how to tell her and she just sat there on the edge of her seat waiting. I sighed…the only way was the blunt way.

“Lana knows about what Lex did to you…She knows he kidnapped you…she knows about 33.1…she knows why he kidnapped you…and…she still stayed with him. She’s…she’s helping him Chloe…or at least that’s the impression I got when I last spoke to her…”

I saw the horror on her face she pulled away from me and shot up from the couch shaking her head. Her eyes were tearing up and I could see the broken hearted look on her face. I stood up and tried to reach for her but she pulled back.

“No…no that can’t be right…she…she wouldn’t do that to me…she’s…she’s my best friend Clark…Lana wouldn’t betray me like that…you’re lying…tell me you’re lying!”

The last part of the sentence was said in a loud strangled voice. I looked at her with sad eyes.

“Chloe…I wouldn’t lie about something like this…I’m…I’m so sorry…”

I went to her again but she pushed me away and started yelling…I don’t think she was yelling at me she just…needed to get everything out.

“No…NO CLARK! You’re Lying…Lana would Never betray me…not even for Lex…she would NEVER have married him if she knew what was really going on…Never…”

Her voice grew softer and her harsh words started coming out as whispers and I moved into her again and she yelled and then her body deflated against mine…and she cried. I felt her body shaking and she broke down. I moved us over to the couch and she laid against me and clutched on to me like her life depended on it…

I snapped out of my thought’s when I heard Lois’s frustrated voice.

“What?”

She glared at me.

“Smallville I have been calling you for the past five minutes…what the hell is wrong with you today? You’ve been spacing out on me all day.”

I shrugged.

“Sorry Lois…is it finished yet?”

She nodded.

“Yeah…I still don’t know how you managed to get that wall knocked down in less than two weeks but I have to give you credit. The room came out good. You ready to see how I decorated?”

I sighed and got up off the couch. I rubbed my face…thinking about that night…it gave me such a headache. We both talked some more before she cried herself to sleep…it was a very emotional night for both of us…

“Yeah…”

I followed her up the steps and she stopped in front of the door.

“Close your eyes.”

I glared at her but did as she said. She opened the door and led me into the room.

“Open!”

I opened my eyes and looked around. Oh wow…the room looked amazing. Chloe was gonna love this. I glanced over at Lois and she was standing there waiting for my reaction. I smiled wide.

“Lois…this is great…thank you so much…really.”

She waved me off and opened the set of sliding doors inside the room to show me the nursery how her side looked with the nursery side that I put together the other day.

“Don’t worry about it Smallville I did it for Chloe…and for me that girl needs to get her ass out of my apartment and my bed and come back home to her husband.”

I grinned.

“Finally something we agree on…”

She shook her head and went downstairs.

“Alright Smallville my work here is done…I gotta go pick up Chloe…we’re going baby shopping…we’ll swing by with her stuff when we’re done.”

I nodded and she left. My phone rang a couple of seconds later and it was Oliver he started telling me about a lead he got on something going on around here. I saw my mom walk in as I was finishing up my conversation.

“Thanks, Oliver. Yeah, I'll call you if I find anything. Bye.”

She had a newspaper in her hand and her face had a frown on it. She started reading it out loud to me with concern in her voice.

"Police are baffled over a recent string of bizarre citizens' arrests. Numerous career criminals have been mysteriously delivered to stations throughout the metro area, in most cases unconscious. Clark, do you know anything about this?”

I shrugged. No I didn’t and did I care? criminals were being dropped off at the police station…they were being taken off the street…I think that’s a good thing…

“Sounds like some bad guys have finally been brought to justice.”

She looked over at me and sighed. She shook her head at me her frown deepening.

“Well, some of them were hurt pretty badly. That sounds like a little more than justice.”

I shrugged . I got a glass of juice as I spoke to her my voice uncaring.

“They were meteor-infected and put up a fight.”

When she spoke again her voice was quiet and concerned.

“What if it had been Chloe Clark? She’s Meteor infected…does that give people the right to hurt her like they’ve hurt these people?”

I turned around and glared in my mother’s direction.

“Don’t say stuff like that mom. Chloe’s different she might be Meteor infected but she’s not a criminal and as long as I’m around she never will be…”

“I know you're trying to help, but you can't go about it this way. It's -- it's not right.”

I was getting frustrated with this conversation.

“You know what's not right, mom, is staying here and doing nothing when I could be out there making a difference. Now, I got to go. Oliver gave me a tip. I got to follow up on it.”

Her voice stopped me and I turned to face her.

“Clark... I know how difficult Lex and Lana's wedding has been for you and Chloe, and I know you’ve been spending all your free time trying to find out what he has planned for Chloe…but ever since that day, it's like you've become another person.”

I shook my head.

“Why? Because I'm not blinded to what’s going on with Lex and Lana anymore? That I’m finally trying to do something to stop them instead of sitting around waiting for the other shoe to fall?”

I heard my mom sigh again.

“I have to go…I’ve got to get on this information…I’ll see you later mom..”

And I walked out. I know my mom was just trying to help…but she needed to let Chloe and I deal with this in our own way…we were doing what we had to do in order to be ready for whatever Lex…and Lana were going to throw at us next…

(Chloe POV)

I had just gotten to The Daily Planet about ten minutes before I felt a huge gust of wind rush by me. I turned and there was Clark. He smiled at me but it was tight.

“Hey.”

“Hi…I thought you and Lois were going baby shopping?”

I laughed.

“We did when we left the store since we were already in Metropolis I told her to drop me off here and I’d have you pick me up later.”

He nodded. He leaned over and gave me a kiss then sat down in one of the chairs by my desk.

“Oh…well…can you do me a favor?”

I shook my head. Clark Kent and his favors… I quirked my eyebrow and smirked in his direction.

“I don’t know…what do I get out of it?”

He glanced up with a grin on his face while he waggled his eyebrows at me.

“How bout a night alone and uninterrupted with your husband?”

I chuckled.

“Pfft…that would be something you want…”

He gave me his best-hurt look.

“Jeez Chloe way to shoot a guy down…but while we’re on the subject…I have been feeling kind of…neglected in certain areas…”

I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

“You can’t say it can you?”

He looked over my head then back at me.

“Say what?”

“Clark we’re married…and if you can’t open you’re mouth and actually say you want to have sex with me…then I refuse to have it. You’re a big boy now…you can say sex…Go ahead…come on Clark…say it.”

I saw his face turn somewhat red and I laughed. His voice came out whinny.

“Chlooe…”

“Nope…Clark Kent I swear…I’ll never sleep with you again if you don’t just grow up and say it.”

He gave me a frustrated sigh.

“Fine…I miss you Chloe…and I want…to make love to you…ok their now can we stop talking about this?”

I grinned.

“You are such…a baby. I really don’t know what the big deal is…it’s ok for you to want me…I want you too.”

He looked up and the grin was back. He pulled me over to him so I was between his legs.

“Yea?”

I nodded and had my hands against his legs.

“But…I mean…it’s not that I haven’t wanted to its just…Clark…”

I trailed off and spoke in a childish voice.

“I’m so fat! I can’t be naked in front of you when I look this gross…”

I had my head down and I could hear his soft chuckles and I hit him.

“Stop laughing! I’m being serious!”

I glared at him and he looked at me.

“I know…and that’s why it’s so funny…Chloe you have no idea how attractive you are like this…seriously I think you’re gorgeous…”

I smiled…then rolled my eyes.

“Ok..ok Casanova…you came here for a favor didn’t you?”

He smiled.

“Yes…you’re not off the hook with this discussion but yea I did. Oliver called me earlier and gave me a website to check out. he said something was up around here and he thought I might want to look into it.”

I nodded and moved away from him as he gave me the website. I typed in the website and password and a live video feed come up on the computer. I frowned at the screen. Oh my god…it was some kind of Meteor Freak fight club.

“Clark can you believe this? A krypto fight club on the internet? How come nobody else knows about this?”

He was leaning over my shoulder watching. His voice was hard.

“According to Oliver, getting the link and the password costs more than most people make in a year.”

I heard cheering and applause on the screen so I turned back to look at it. As we finished watching it this huge guy…

I think the feed said his name was Titan, ended the fight by sliding a huge blade out of his armband and plunging a knife into his opponents back.

“Clark, he just killed that guy.”

He shook his head and his voice was tight when he spoke. I could almost feel the tension coming off of him. I started trying to trace where the video originated that way we could find out who was behind this.

“Chloe, I need you to trace the link back to the source.”

“I'm trying, but they're bouncing it off about a billion different proxy servers. I mean, whoever's running this operation made sure that no one would be able to find him. Didn't Oliver and your superpals give you anything else?”

He shook his head and moved away from the back of my chair. He came and stood in front of me with his arms crossed over his chest.

“It was a short conversation, Chloe. I was kind of busy this morning. All he said was he thought the location was somewhere nearby.”

I nodded.

“The security on this stream is off the charts. I mean, I can't record it, I can't download it. I can't...”

There was more clapping and an announcers voice started to speak, which made Clark, and I turn our attention back to the computer.

“ Hey, hey, fight fans! Your winner and still undisputed champion... the one, the only... Titan!”

Clark was squinting at the screen and he pointed.

“Freeze that frame. What is that?”

I glanced at the closeup of Titan. There was a clearly visible tattoo that looked like Kryptonian symbols to me…

“Clark…is that Kryptonian?”

He nodded his head and his voice seemed strained.

“It's a prison tattoo. Chloe, Titan isn't meteor-infected. He's from the Phantom Zone.”

Clark shook his head.

“I gotta go…see what I can find out about this. Will you keep looking into it for me?”

I gave him a small smile.

“Most defiantly.”

He leaned down and kissed me.

“But you’ll look into it from here…at your desk right?”

I rolled my eyes.

“Yes. Clark…no running around chasing bad guys for this sidekick…at least not for another few months.”

I grinned and he looked up at the sky then back at me.

“What am I gonna do with you Chlo?”

He kissed me again.

“And by the way…you’re not my sidekick…you’re my partner in crime…”

He grinned and super sped away. I smiled and shook my head. He’s nuts…but I love him despite his craziness…

(Lana POV)

Lex and I have been back from our honeymoon for about three days now and things have been winding down from the chaos of the last few weeks. I was sitting in the study at his desk watching him over a live feed on the computer.

He wanted me to be apart of what was going on but he didn’t want me there at the moment because he didn’t want to take the chance that any of the Meteor freaks got lose and tried to hurt me…so thus the video feed. I was looking at him and he glanced into the camera.

“Can you hear me ok Lana?”

I smiled.

“Loud and clear Lex. What are we dealing with today? Is this the patient you were telling me about?”

He nodded.

“Yes…remember we gave her the first does of the serum before we left on our honeymoon?”

“I remember. How is it coming along? Is she waking up and becoming more alert?”

He walked around on the screen.

“Yes. She is receiving her last does today and should be fully functional by the time we need her. Lana…her power can help us harness all the Meteor infected people…that way we can have them cooperate with all our testing methods…even the more…unconventional ones…”

He looked excited and I chuckled.

“Well good. I’m glad you’re making progress. I’ve been reading over all the files you gave me on Chloe and I saw here that you were mixing something in with her prenatal vitamins…you’re not…hurting the baby…are you?”

My voice was hesitant and I saw him move the feed into a close up by his face. He spoke softly.

“Absolutely not. The serum that was being mixed into her vitamins was to offset the baby’s powers so that we can know when he’s born which powers Chloe got from him and which powers he got from her…nothing else.”

I looked down.

“Well that’s good…do you even know what powers Chloe has?”

I saw him shake his head.

“No…but I know some powers she’s been exhibiting since she’s been pregnant.”

He stopped talking and sighed a paper for someone.

“Well…you going to share? I’m curious.”

He chuckled.

“She has shown sighs of invincibility.”

My eyes widened.

“What?”

“I had someone plant a bomb with a timer in her car a while ago…the car exploded with her in it and she walked away without a scratch…but so far that’s it in the powers department. I’m setting up one last thing…and it is going to involve bringing Chloe here…to me. Lana I am going to need you on board with this one…it’s big and I won’t be able to do it without you.”

I took a deep breath and nodded.

“What to I have to do?”

He smiled.

“You have to convince Clark that you made a mistake marrying me…I need you to keep him away from Chloe…that’s the only way I’ll be able to get to her. I need you to do whatever it takes…Play on Chloe’s insecurities. She’s with Clark but a part of her will always feel like you’re more important to him then she is…use that and make sure she sees it.”

Was he saying what I think he was saying? He wants me to try and seduce Clark? That’ll never work.

I shook my head.

“That’ll never work Lex…Clark won’t betray Chloe like that.”

I saw the smirk on Lex’s face.

“Chloe’s been in a very unstable place lately…and with our wedding and you’re little discussion with Clark…she now knows where your loyalties lie…I can’t imagine she’s been taking it well. Clark doesn’t have to betray her Lana…she only has to think he has…”

I smiled. When Lex first told me about his plan a while ago…I didn’t think it was going to work. But now…I was sure it would. Chloe and Clark want nothing more than to think I’m confused…and that I made a mistake…They’d buy it if I played it just right…and then Lex would have what he wanted and me…I’d have the answers I’ve been waiting for…

<3

[freak24]

She is evil! Although I like this version of her much more than the pink princess model. She's much more interesting now

I feel really sorry for Chloe though, finding out that your once best friend has basically betrayed you and no longer cares.

This was a great update, looking forward to more!!!!!

[aqgalaxy]

You know what this story is making me afraid LOL I am sooo afraid about what is going to happen to Chloe... ohhh why her! Lana is sooo EVIL and yet.... I love it!

PPMS

[nzs]

Wow - Lana really gone over to the dark side. I love it. Man, I wish they'd gone there in SV.

Looking forward to your next update!

[D.M.A.]

wow great chapter,I luv the chlark playful banter.Luv how chloe teases clark about askin for sex,and how she wants it also but thinks she 2 fat.Awww I bet she'd make a cute pregnant woman lol,luv clark's responses 2 he's learnin lol.

Also the flashback to when he told her how he felt was great,I luv how he clear'd up that he didn't regret/frustrated wit her jus the thought of her gettin her did.Also her teasin him about him gettin mad and puttin distance between wasn't helpin him protect her which is true lol.

Luv the lexana part,I luv how lex is I'm guessin talkin about chloe's mom moira since she can control freaks and progeny is after combat.Should be interestin to see how u get chloe into level 33.1 wit moira like they did on the show.And if she'll be control like she was by moira and almost shoot lex lol,if so it would be funny.

Cant wait for the rest of ur version of combat,and definitely cant wait for progeny...Sounds like lexana r tryin to play off chloe's insecurities,hopefully she has more faith in clark than lexana expect.Cant wait

[Chlarkfan_phantom]

It is for these reasons that I hate Lex and Lana. Lana always has to get in the way whenever Chlark is becoming a possibitlity....arggh!....PPMS!!
