Chloe stood in the middle of the cornfield between two bodies. Well technically it was two bodies but one person, Clark Kent.

She didn't understand what had happened, or how this was possible. One minute Clark had been fighting Mark, a super powered Meteor freak, then the next Mark had stabbed Clark with what Chloe could only guess was black Krytponite. There had been a flash of light, and Mark had vanished, leaving Chloe standing between two separate entities that were both different, yet both the same.

She stood frozen between them. When Lex had been split in half, it had turned out to be the two sides of his personality. The ultimate good in Lex, the friend that Clark had always wanted him to be. Then the darker side of Lex. The ruthless monster who stopped at nothing to get what he wanted no matter who it hurt.

With that thought running threw her mind, Chloe felt torn. She wanted nothing more than to run to her friend, to be there for him when he started to regain consciousness. Yet she was to terrified to move an inch in either direction. She had known Clark for a long time, he was her best friend, a good person, a true hero in her eyes. But Chloe was not naïve, she knew Clark had a dark side. Sure he tried to keep it hidden, but there were a few occasions were his dark side had made an unexpected visit. Chloe had learned from experience that you really didn't want to be in the vicinity of an evil Clark. So she figured that staying still and not moving was her best option for the time being.

Kal El awoke and sat up very slowly. He knew instantly what had occurred. His entity had split from that of Clark Kent. He knew this because, he had Clarks memories, but unlike Clark they did not effect him. They didn't bring about any emotions. Kal El didn't understand human emotions, to him they were a weakness and nothing more.

Once he was fully to his feet, he finally noticed the blonde female who was starring at him with what seemed to be concern in her eyes. He quickly sifted threw Clarks memories so he could place a name to her face. Ah, yes, now he remembered. She was known as Chloe Sullivan. Best friend and confidant to Clark Kent. It was obvious she was in love with the boy, even though he had feelings for another.

Kal El looked her over slowly. She had shoulder length blonde hair that reminded him of the sun. Her eyes were a brilliant shade of green that looked like emeralds. Her skin was pale, but not overly so, not enough to make her look sickly. She was wearing a dark blue skirt and blouse set.

He tilted his head as she spoke. "Clark?" She said his name more like a question, her emotions of concern written all over her face.

He took a step towards her. "I am Kal El." He stated firmly.

Chloe's eyes widen in fear and she takes a step backwards, towards the other him, Clark who was starting to awaken. She gasps as she feels Kal El grab her arm. She hadn't even seen him move.

"And you are Chloe Sullivan." He looks her over once more. "You will do."

Chloe tried to pull away but to no avail. "I'll do? I'll do what exactly?" Chloe really didn't like the way he was looking at her.

An evil, yet very sexy smirk played across his features. "You will teach me of this world, your customs so I can better understand it."

"Why?" She asked nervously.

He states the next words like they were the most obvious thing in the world. "So I may rule this planet of course."

Upon hearing those words Chloe renews her efforts to escape his grasp. "No! I will never help you, never!" She turns to look at Clark who was staggering to his feet. "Clark! Clark help!"

Kal El pulls her into his arms, holding her close. "Do not fight the inevitable Chloe Sullivan." With those words, her propels upwards into the sky, Chloe in his arms, her cries for help growing softer in the distance.
