The Cell Phone
Clark woke up late and ran supper speed to class. He was ten minutes late to class as usual. And no one was there to catch him however he didn't realize there were security cameras at College. Be hind the scenes a security guard noticed Clarks Speedy Gonzalez entrance. It turnout to be an old friend of Whitney's who had the meteor rock tattooed on his arm. He had found and old stash of the stuff. His name was Robert Johnson. So he decided to put a DVR in and record a slow motion version of Clark's entry into the school and a fast entry into the school so he could blackmail Clark later. He had figured out that Clark was from another planet. He made a copy of the DVR and he put it in an envelope and he decided to bump into Clark in between classes.
"Hey, Clark can I have a word with you?" Johnson said as he grabbed a hold of Clarks shoulders.
"Um.. Ok" Clark said he had no choice, the meteor tattoo was making him feel sick.
"I know your secret. Here's my proof. Here's a cell phone and wait for further instructions." Clark was petrified. He didn't know what to say all he had was an envelope and a cell phone. He was always so careful.
"Hey, Clark you ok? You look like you saw a ghost. Did you get a new cell phone? Cool now maybe we can actually keep in touch." Chloe said as she came down the hall way.
"Ya, I'm fine. No this is just someone else's phone. Hey look I got to go and return it." Clark said.
"But we still have 3 pm math class to go to." Chloe called after him.
He knew he was doing the right thing cutting class and going home to tell his parents the news. No one could ever know his secret and hold it against him. He walked slowly out the door way making sure there were no cameras and he then speed home as soon as he was sure there wasn't any more. He called out for his parents but neither of them were home. He opened the envelope and there it was the DVD. He put it in the DVD player at home. He saw the recording of him speeding through the school to get to class in time. Now he wish he had never done it. Then he heard a voice that sent chills up his spine.
"Wow, I always wondered how you got everywhere without a car." Said his friend Lex Luthor who was right behind him.
"Um.. Lex… It's a school project see we are doing computer animation. In class we can change it to slow motion or fast motion. We can alter everything about this." Clark said as he was praying Lex would buy into this. Why didn't anyone knock any more he thought. "I was late to school because I couldn't find my math homework assignment. That's due at 3pm. Homework is worth 50 of the grade." The weird thing was that he really did leave it at home and it was on the kitchen counter.
"Is this it?" Lex asked as he picked it off the kitchen counter.
"Yep and now for my computer homework which was the DVD." Ironically he really was taking a computer class and that was an assignment which he had not done yet and that was due at 1pm. "Now the question is how do I get to college in time for my 1pm computer class which starts in 10 min?" He said out loud by mistake.
"I'll take you." Lex said.
"Thanks. So what were you doing here at 12:30 in the afternoon?" Clark asked.
"Well you called your parents and you said you had an emergency and you were coming straight home. I was in the same waiting room with them and they were on a cell phone and I could here them. So I figured I'd hop on over and see how everything was going." Lex explained. He was really trying to be a good friend but he also couldn't help his curiosity. He wondered though how Clark had beet him to his house. When Clarks College was further away than where he was in driving distance.
"Well the emergency was that I had left my math homework and my DVD for computer class." Clark lied. He sighed. He hated to lie as usual. But in order to keep his secret safe he had to lie.
"Who did you catch a ride with from College to home?" Lex asked. He just had to know how he was always getting everywhere.
"Um… a friend" Clark said. Luckily they pulled up right to the College at that time as if right on queue. He knew Lex was getting close and now he had to watch out. He was once again late for his computer class. So he hopped out and said thanks for the ride and tried to walk normally to get to class. Then the cell-phone rang right as he sat down in his desk.
"Not only is Clark Kent late again but he didn't turn off his cell phone ladies and gentlemen. This is the type of behavior I will not accept in my class. Now turn off your cell phone and put it up in the front of the room." Said the teacher.
"Where were you?" Whispered Chloe. "I thought you going to return the phone."
"I was but I couldn't find the person and then Lex gave me a ride after I found my homework." Clark whispered back. Now he was stuck in the class and that was probably the person trying to blackmail him again with his secret. And he still hasn't had time to talk to his parents about it or handle Lex very good. Guess he was going to have to do this one all on his own.
"Why would you need a ride from Lex to get to class in time?" Chloe asked.
"Is this conversation a matter of emergency? Because if its not I'd really like to get on with my lecture. Do you have your projects? Let's start with you Clark. Your project was to change the speed of people. Make them seem like they are going faster and make them seem like they are going slower. And remember this project is worth 60 of your grade." Said the teacher.
"Um. Ok well here we go. Here is the DVD of me going slow and me going fast." He put it in the DVD player and showed the whole class as he gulped. He hoped he could pull this off.
"Well very impressive." The teacher said. "I didn't think you had any work done. This shows you've actually been paying attention."
"Ha-ha" Chloe coughed. She knew that was a security camera of his powers and he was using that to get a passing grade. She couldn't believe he was using his powers to pass class.
"Thank you." Clark said as he was going back. To sit down. He was going to have to talk to Chloe it was obvious she knew something.
"Chloe, can I get a ride home with you? We need to talk at my house." After his Math class they drove silently to his house. He was wondering just how much did he knew and he knew just the right question to ask. When they got inside his parents were still not home. Lex was no where to be seen. So he asked, "Chloe what do you know about me?"
"Um…" Chloe said. "Um… about anything in particular? Well let's see your favorite color is blue."
"No I mean do know anything odd about me?" Clark asked. He was sure Chloe would have jumped at the first chance to spill everything.
"What's that noise?" Clark asked. He heard Johnson's voice coming down the farm.
"There is no noise." Chloe said. He must have super hearing too.
"We have to go now." Clark said in a rush.
Before they could go two vans pulled up and people came out and grabbed Clark and Chloe. The meteor rock tattoos were making Clark too sick to move. He had thought they had captured everyone from the place before. They tied their hands behind their backs, blindfolded them and stuffed them in the vans but there were meteor bars in containers so Clark couldn't get them out of there and Chloe was knocked out.
"Ok here's the deal." Johnson started to say when they were at the wear house "You do as we say or else your girlfriend dies. You don't look so well are you ok? If you need to throw up don't throw up on me. If you throw up on me we will have a problem. Hey wait a minute as soon as the meteor rocks you get sick! Let's test this theory… as he punches him with a meteor rock in the face." Then Clark bleeds. And he moves the meteor rock away from him and the blood goes away he quickly puts the meteor rock underneath Clark's chair. They all left the room to have a meeting leaving Clark and Chloe alone without blindfolds.
"Um… Chloe I can explain…" Clark said. He was trying to come up with another lie but couldn't.
"You don't have to I've known about your power's and weakness." Chloe said. "You don't have to worry I didn't tell especially not the Luthor's, I just always thought they were a side effect of the meteor rocks. We have to try to get out of this situation. Is there any way you can get out ropes with your strength?"
"No not with the meteors making me sick." Clark explained. "So how come you never told me you new?"
"Well I just always thought you didn't want me to know. And that you would tell me on your own time." Chloe explained.
"Well the important thing is to get the meteor away from me so I can set us free." Clark said. "Well talk about the rest after we get through this." The meteor rock was just
out of Clark's reach. His hands and feet were tied to the chair. Chloe's Chair was a couple of feet away but was too far to get to rock.
"Wait I think I've got my ropes loose." Chloe said.
"Now we don't want any of that happening do we?" Johnson said as he and his group came back in. He went over and retightened the ropes.
"You know you're never going to get away with this." Chloe yelled. "People are going to notice we're missing."
"We worked it out Clark; I'll untie you and tape the meteor to your back." Johnson said. As he did this Clark fell in agony.
"Stop your killing him." Chloe yelled.
"Stand up. We got work to do." Johnson said.
"I can't stand" Clark said. "The meteor rock makes me sick."
"So I take it you couldn't use your super speed then for our bank robberies… with the meteor rock on." Johnson said.
"Not a chance." Clark groaned.
"Ok then how bout this we'll tape the meteor rock to your girlfriend so you won't be able to save her. Then you'll have no choice but do as you say." Johnson said.
"You'll never get away with this." Clark said. As they took the meteor rock away Clark regained his strength, used his heat vision to make bricks fall on-top of the bad guys, and then right as the building was about to collapse he was able to use his super speed to get Chloe out of the building. He untied Chloe and then took her to his house in super speed.
When they finally got in the door Chloe said, "You didn't have to keep it a secret from me all these years you know."
"Keep what a secret." Mr. Kent said as they walked in.
"Um, Mom Dad Can I talk to you? Let's go have a seat in the living room." Clark said and then he checked to make sure no one was listening and explained "Chloe figured out all my gifts and weakness but not where they came from."
"I've known for about a year." Chloe said. "I haven't told anyone and wasn't even going to tell Clark until he figured out I knew."
"Welcome to the club." Said Mr. Kent. "And as an official member of a very exclusive club that only Pete, Me, Martha, and Clark are in you get to see the cellar."
"What's in the cellar?" Chloe asks.
"The best kept secret in the world, it will explain why I'm always so protective of my past." Clark said. Before they were about to take her to show her the space ship Pete came over.
"Hey, Pete guess who is the newest member of the club? Want to come to the cellar to help explain the past she already knows the abilities." Clark said.
"Cool, sure." Pete said.
"Ok. What could possibly be interesting in a cellar." Chloe asked.
"Lets go. Empty all camera's here please." Clark said. And they went. And explained everything to her.
"Wow! That is so cool!" Chloe said. "I just always thought it was meteor rocks affecting him differently. I never imagined. That it was this. Cool. So what other power's do you have?"
"Fire, hearing, strength, speed, vision, and flight. Well I can't fly yet but my second personality can that's another story." Clark said.
"This is cool." She said...
A cell phone rings in the room. Chloe is the first one to look around for her phone but she can't find it. Then Clark realizes he still had the cell phone the bad Johnson gave him. He trembled as he held his phone because the bad guys were supposed to be in a pile of rubble. His parents gave each other questionable looks because they knew Clark didn't have a cell phone. "Mom, Dad this is another long story which I'll explain as soon as I answer this call." Clark tried to comfort his parents. He held the phone up to his ear and said "Hello."
And on the other end very distinctive Johnson's voice said, "You do as I say or I give Lionel Luthor the proof that I have, and I have more than the DVD you used as your class presentation, fire starter."
