Disclaimer: I do not own Smallville or Superman, they belong to a bunch of people who have no idea what the hell they are doing with the story…I mean come on they hired Kristen Kruek to play Lana Lang…hell they created the character of Lana Lang. Yeah if I owned it the Pink Princess would not exist so obviously I don't own it. And also if I owned it I would be bring back Pete…Sam Jones III rocks!

Yes I know I have 3 other stories going right now but another plot bunny attacked me. This is a 'what if' story. I am new to the world of Smallville fanfiction and to the show in general. I just watched the episodes where Clark is turned into Kal by the red kryptonite for the first time and after seeing Chloe and Clark aka Kal's interaction I came up with this idea. Before I go on with the summery let me tell you a few things. One: I am a major Chlex shipper. Two: I refuse to acknowledge the fact that Lex will one day go bad even if I am a Superman fan. Three: Lex and Clark will always be best friends in my world. Four: Gasp I like Lionel! And I honestly do think that he loves his son. In my world Lex and Lionel get along…with a fair amount of snark thrown in. And lastly: I HATE LANA LANG! Lana bashing straight ahead. If any of this bothers you please hit your back button now.

Summery:

What if while under the influence of red kryptonite "Kal" raped Chloe?

What if Chloe became pregnant?

What if Clark doesn't remember anything he did while he was "Kal"?

What if Lex steps in to save Chloe?

Chlex pairing…read on!

Okay before the story starts here are a few other things you need to know (can you tell I like to prepare my readers for the story? lol). This story starts off AFTER the rape, after Clark returns to Smallville without memory of his time as Kal, and after it is found out that Lex is alive and after Helen leaves the show. Chloe is not working for Lionel. And lastly Chloe already knows Clark's secret.

Clark is still a good guy in this story; he's just a good guy who has made a mistake, a big one. Also he is a bit of a dunderhead.

Chapter One: What's Wrong With Chloe?

Clark hurried down the stairs; he wanted to make sure he got all of his chores done early. Lex had invited him over to try out his new pool table. He made his way into the kitchen to find his mom sitting at the kitchen table going over bills.

"Hey mom." He said grabbing a muffin.

"Hey sweetheart. Your up early this morning."

"Yeah" Clark said going and getting the carton of milk out of the refrigerator. "I wanted to get an early start on my chores. Lex invited me over to check out his new pool table."

"That's nice. Speaking of friends. I haven't seen much of Chloe around lately." Martha stood and went to the cupboard, pulling out a glass and handing in to Clark before he could take a drink out of the milk carton.

"Yeah I know. It almost seems like she's been avoiding me since I got home." Clark replied.

"Well did something happen between you two in Metropolis?" Martha asked.

"Metropolis?" Clark raised an eyebrow. He didn't remember seeing Chloe in Metropolis. But than again he didn't remember most of what he did while in Metropolis.

"Yes, you don't remember? Chloe paid you a visit."

Clark shook his head. "No I don't remember. Man I hope I didn't do anything to hurt her feelings."

"Well you can talk to her at school on Monday. Why don't you head out? Your dad is already out there and the sooner you finish your chores the sooner you can head over to Lex's."

As Lex Luthor headed out of the Talon he was feeling immensely pleased with himself. He had managed to spend fifteen minutes in the company of Lana Lang without losing his cool and calling her a pink ice princess. Honestly what Clark saw in the girl he would never know. She was dumb as a door, she was clingy, she was a bitch, and her eyes were a tad bit creepy. Now give him a girl like Chloe Sullivan and he would be happy. Smart, beautiful, kind, and snarky, yep his kind of girl. He didn't know why he was thinking about Chloe in that way, seeing as she was only 16, while he was 22. Not to mention the fact that his wife had just tried to kill him before their honeymoon had even started. As he opened the door of his Viper he saw the girl from his thoughts rush out of the drug store looking nervous. She quickly got into her Volkswagen Beetle and peeled off down the road. 'I wonder what's wrong with her?' Lex thought as he started his car and started towards the castle.

Clark arrived at the castle at half past twelve to find Lex already in the study waiting for him.

"Hello Clark."

"Hey Lex, how have you been?" Clark asked shrugging out of his jacket.

"You know plane crashes, deserted islands, homicidal wives, the usual." Lex handed Clark a pool stick. "What about you?"

"Mental breaks, a summer in Metropolis that I don't remember, friends avoiding me."

"Chloe?" Lex asked.

"Chloe what?"

Lex sighed "Is Chloe the friend that's avoiding you?"

"Yeah how did you know?"

"I saw her acting pretty strangely this morning." Lex said racking up the balls.

"What do you mean?" Clark asked lining up his first shot and missing.

"She just looked extremely nervous." Lex said taking his first shot and sinking it.

"Maybe I should stop by her place and see her when I leave here. That way…" Clark didn't get to finish because his cell phone, a welcome home gift from Lex, rang. "Hello?" Clark flipped it open. "Why what happened? Lana just breath, I'm on my way." He snapped it shut. "Lex can I take a rain check? Lana got freaked out by a rowdy customer at the Talon."

'Of course forget Chloe. She's only your best friend. Run along and play savior for the worlds biggest drama queen.' Lex thought but aloud all he said was "Sure I hope Lana's aright.

With that Clark headed out.

Lex went to the mini bar and poured himself a glass of vodka. He was thinking about stopping by Chloe's house to check up on her himself. 'She'll probably just shut the door in my face. She's Clark's friend not mine.'

He was so lost in his thoughts that he did not see his father walk in.

"Son please tell me it's the merger with Wayne Industries that's got your mind working over time." Lionel said as he laid his jacket on the back of the study's sofa.

Lex downed his drink "Hi dad it's good to see you too. I'm fine thanks."

"What's wrong with you Lex?" Lionel asked.

"Besides my life, nothing." Lex said setting down his glass. "I'm going for a drive."

Please review. This is my first Smallville story and I am always really nervous when I write for a new fandom for the first time. Please no flames; constructive criticism is always welcome and always appreciated.
