A/N: UPDATED-Ok I just did not like this story one bit. It was hard to write and it did not read very well. I didn't want to represent my Smallville ideas like that so I decided to rewrite the whole thing. I really feel like this is better so if you've read this already, read it again. J If it's your first time- good. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave me some feedback.

Takes place post Season 7 Finale: Arctic

Chapter 1: Let's Play 007

Intro

The fortress is gone but things did not go exactly how they seemed. Jor-El had bigger plans for Clark than to surrender control. He always had the benefit of the doubt in his son so it was easy to understand why Jor-El added more obstacles than Lex had anticipated.

Once the fortress collapsed, Lex was unable to escape and felt the entire thing fall onto him and Clark. In order for Lex to have taken control over Clark he would have needed to escape before the collapse of the fortress. However, that's not how it happened. Lex was unprepared for what was coming and the collapse knocked him unconscious.

Unable to "play god", Clark felt he had to take Lex back with him. Back in Smallville things would prove to change drastically as Lex was now in a coma, and no one knew if he would ever wake up.

"Ms. Lane, I may not be Lex Luthor but you still have to impress me. I can't run fantastical stories like this one, this is the Daily Planet. If you want to write stories without proof go to the Inquisitor." Mark Jacobs wasn't big on scolding but Lois had a way of begging that forced him to put his foot down. He's no Grant Gabriel, Lois thought, but anything is better than having Lex Luthor as big brother. Ever since Lex's coma, the Daily Planet was sporting a new head honcho. Most people, like Lois, hoped he would last longer than Grant.

I really needed that story to print. Twirling her hair Lois realized today marked an entire month that Chloe had spent in jail. Without that story how am I supposed to expose everything happening with the government branch that took Chloe? All Clark and Jimmy do is complain but don't really put forth any help. I mean what do those two do anyways. All Jimmy is good for is a shot….actually that might be necessary soon. Oh and don't even get me started on Smallville. Besides finding a way to constantly wear blue and red outfits, I still have no idea what Clark 's good at. Well, in any case, I can't do this alone.

The farm was lonely. Martha was gone, Lana was gone, Chloe was prisoner and all Clark wanted was things back the way they were. He knew it was an impossible thought but it was just becoming too hard. He spent most of his days working the farm or helping Lois and Jimmy find out more information. But mostly he thought. I wonder where Lana is? Will she call me? Is she ok? Does she miss me? He completely understood that him and her would never work out. It took many years but he finally realized that she was simply not the one. That is, if there even was a "one" for him.

Now about this Chloe Business. Where are you Chloe? How am I supposed to find you without you're super sidekick abilities? Just as Clark was leaving the house the phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hey Smallville. It's your favorite person."

"Haha. Whats going on Lois?"

"I've been looking into that whole government branch that took Chloe and they have some pretty illegal stuff going on back there. Especially in how they are holding some people captive. I'm thinking we go find where Chloe is being held, show them the proof we'll gather, Jimmy will get it all on tape and we will threaten to expose it all unless they let her go. What do you think? Brilliant?"

Brilliant? Not exactly what I was thinking but damnit, I have nothing better planned. We have to get Chloe out and If this is how then…fine.

"This all sounds really risky Lois. I think I should do this alone."

"What? No way. What makes you think we'll go down and you won't? This is just as risky for you as it is for us Smallville. Now are you going to help or are we gonna have to go at this Clarkless?"

"Fine. We'll meet at your apartment in an hour. We do this tonight."

Clark and Lois are stubborn people so naturally they both had different ideas as to how tonight would go down. Jimmy on the other hand, he just waited. Practically praying the whole time this would all work out. He missed Chloe with all he had and DAMNIT what horrible timing those detectives had. He was in the middle of the proposal. Couldn't they wait a minute or two longer so he could have gotten his Yes…or no? No way, it was going to be a yes, and for that, tonight HAD to work out.

"Come on guys. Stop fighting like a married couple and put your heads together. Now C.K. I know you don't want to get us involved but you can't do this alone. This has got to be a team effort. I still have that little camera from my 007 days that I can attach to my shirt so they won't know their being taped."

"007 days? Jimmy, you were suckered into spying on Chloe, I would hardly count that as credible detective experience." Lois snickered back.

"ANYways, so we'll use that to document what's going on. Then we'll tell them we have this being wired to all the major newspapers and that with a press of a button this video will get forwarded unless they let Chloe go."

"Yes. This could work Jimmy. Good Job. Clark, what are you going to put into this?" Clark glared a Lois as if she had lost her mind.

"Well Lois I plan on doing the negotiating because we all know you are the absolute WORST at talking…to people"

"Right. Well get ready boys. Tonight we take Chloe back. No one messes with my cuz." Lois gave a big grin for show, she didn't want them to know how afraid she was that this might not work out.
