Chloe and Lois took Dean to the hospital to fix up his arm fixed up. "So the demon gave Clark superhuman powers?" Lois asked from the back seat. Chloe and Dean gave each other the look and Chloe answered, "Yep."
"Strange town. So what's plan, B?" Lois replied. "That was plan, B." Dean answered.
"There is another option." Chloe thought out loud. "Which is?" Dean asked curiously. Chloe hesitated before she gave her answer. "Lex."
"He just tried to kill you. Who knows if he's even alive?" Dean protested. "He'd be at the hospital if he's alive, and drowsy from meds." Chloe debated.
"Perfect." Lois stated. "You get the cast, we'll talk to Lex and pick you up a pen from the souvenir shop." Trying to stall them, Dean said, "This is Metropolis. How do we even know we're at the same hospital Lex is?"
"Two reasons, first this is the closest hospital to the Daily Planet, and second the highest paid doctors work here." Chloe replied. A few minutes later the car was parked and they were walking into the hospital. "You know what, I'm fine really." Dean said as they approached the entrance.
"Your not afraid of hospitals, are you?" Lois asked. Dean hesitated as he remembered the last time they were in a hospital where his dad had died. "No." He concluded. He decided he wasn't scared, just hated the place. "Fine, I'll get the info from the receptionist and then you can talk to Lex." Dean stated. "We got it covered." Chloe replied. "Just, be a patient. We need you there as an excuse to be there."
"Fine." Dean reluctantly agreed. They went in and checked him in to the hospital under one of his many fake ID's. Dean distracted the receptionist while they got the room number. Seconds later, Chloe and Lois stealthily left. Lois pulled out her lock picking kit and opened the door. "Nurse?" Lex groaned as the door closed.
"We need a few questions answered." Lois stated.
"We need to know how to find Clark." Chloe said. "He's dangerous right now, if you could tell us anything."
"Julian." Lex muttered.
"Focus, we need you in reality." Lois demanded. Chloe repeated her question for Lex. "Microchip." Lex muttered. "Level 3." He stated just before he passed out. "That doesn't tell us anything." Lois whispered. "Yes, it does. Lets go." Chloe replied. They snuck out of the room to meet up with Dean. After a couple of hours the cast was finally finished, and they were free to go. As they got in the car Chloe explained to them about Level 3 in Lex's manure factory. "So he figured to put the research in a place where they already looked and no one would suspect." Lois stated.
"Wow, well we better call it a night." Dean said. He needed to talk to Chloe alone. They dropped of Lois at her apt above the Talon. "We'll have a better chance during the day, the demon only stays out at night." Dean told them.
As Lois left Dean sighed. "So does Clark have any other weaknesses that maybe could help?" He asked. "I'm not sure if it would help. He's immune to meteor rock." Chloe pointed out. "So there is something else." Dean clarified. Chloe hesitated. "The sun."
"He's allergic to the sun?" He asked. "That won't do any good the demon hates sunlight. Won't come out at all."
"It's more complicated than that." Chloe stated. "The sun is the source of his powers."
"That's great." Dean explained. "All we have to do is wait. How long was he in captivity?"
"Five days." Chloe replied. "Why?"
"When we got him out there were no windows." Dean observed.
"So we wait five days, and while we wait we check out level 3." Chloe continued. "Then Clark will at least be on the human level." Chloe dropped Dean off at the hotel. "I'll call you tomorrow." He said.
Mid Afternoon the next day
Chloe was pulling up all her intel on level 3 when the phone rang. "Hello." It was Dean. "Sure just about ready." She said as she told him her address.
He walked into her apt and was shocked to see four other people there. "I called in some reinforcements." She explained. She introduced him to the Green Arrow, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Flash. "I'm not much of a team player." Dean reminded them.
"Great… just like Clark." The Green Arrow said sarcastically. "Level 3 has been vacated ever since Lex was shot." He continued pointing to the screen showing no life signs. "Go." He nodded to Cyborg. Cyborg left and the Green Arrow continued with the plan.
"You got any refreshments?" Dean asked Chloe. "There may be some left over beer in the fridge." "Thanks." He replied. Seconds later he came back with a beer in his hand. "Take it easy it's not even 5." The Green Arrow commented. Dean smiled back as he took a big gulp in response. Cyborg returned before Dean could finish his beer. Dean watched silently as Cyborg put a plug in his arm and handed it to the Green Arrow to put it in the computer. Everyone was acting like it was completely normal even Chloe he thought as he took another gulp. The Green Arrow was talking as he was reading from the computer screen. "Ok, so he did put a microchip in Clark, now we have a means of tracking him, which we can do from here now."
"And where Clark is Sam is most likely near." Dean added. "Oh ya we can track him to." The Green Arrow stated.
"How?" Dean asked curiously. "His abilities prove a unique signal." He responded by pointing to another computer screen. "That's Sam." He said as he pointed to the red dot. "He's been in South America." Another dot appeared on the screen. "And that blue dot is Clark." Chloe smiled and said. "See working with a team isn't that bad."
