1 Lane's Research Department
What happens when Lois Lane is running an animal research department, and Clark doesn't fall for her? Read to find out!
1.1 Chapter 1
Lois Lane sat in the tiger exhibit. She watched the small orange and white creatures. So sad. In a few hours, they will be skinned. Lois angrily rubbed an unwelcome tear away. The Lane's do not have feelings for their research devices. Besides, now we'll see what a year's worth of Lex Luthor's krypton did to the cubs.
Lex Luthor read his friend's report on Tiger cubs with small amounts of meteor rocks running in their blood stream. Increased stamina, speed, endurance, strength. Lex grinned. He typed his reply. Keep me informed. Start on the lions. What he didn't know was that Chloe would be raiding his computer in less than 12 hours.
Chloe Sullivan was in a chat-room called Chemical X. She was chatting with a KryptoNemesis.
Blondie9: Seen anything strange?
KryptoNemesis: Ever heard of Lane Zoo Inc?
Blondie9: Yeah…
KryptoNemesis: They're taking Krypton and injecting it into animals. If the animal dies, they sell it to Luthor Corp. for research. If not, they sell its fur. Can't risk inspectors finding green rocks floating in animal blood.
Blondie9:??
KryptoNemesis: Freaky? You've been telling me about your wall of weird green rocks. Sounds just like Krypton.
Blondie9: Prove it
KryptoNemesis: You go to Lex's office, and check his emails and files. Find what I know you will, visit Smallville's local zoo.
Blondie9: …okay
Chloe logged off, and got ready to break into Lex Luthor's mansion. No easy task, but KryptoNemesis had her intrigued.
Chloe bumped into Clark on her way out. "Seen Lana?" Chloe flinched, but Clark didn't notice. "No. I'll see you tomorrow." She hurried away, so he couldn't see her sudden tearful eyes. Would you just ask her out?
Chloe passed Lana at her locker. "Clark's looking for you." Lana nodded. "Thank…you?" She trailed off as Chloe ran out the door.
Chloe slowly eased her way through the fence. Creeping on the grass, she slipped across the immense lawn. "Now I just have to wait until night so I can peak in." she muttered as she settled in for a long wait.
Meanwhile, Clark and Lana were meeting Christi. "Where are you from?" Chloe smiled, and tossed her hair over shoulder. "Rainy Oregon. But that doesn't matter. Have you seen Chloe Sullivan? She wanted to talk to me." Clark and Lana exchanged glances. "She was pretty upset when she ran out an hour ago." Christi grinned. "You're such a cute couple." Clark and Lana blushed, and denied it. Christi shrugged. "You should be. You're perfect together. Tell Chloe Krypto was looking for her." She turned and walked away before either could respond.
'Christi' slipped onto the Luthor premises in jet black, her hair covering her face. Using a black object Chloe couldn't see, she opened the door silently. A few moments later, Lex's window opened, and the head peered out. "You're 4 hours late. Lex hasn't been here since 2 this afternoon." Chloe climbed in the window. "What's your name?" The girl grinned. "Clark and Lana know me as Christi. However, I am Rain Lark, or Jet Raven. Call me Robyn. It's what my parents named me." Chloe blinked. "Okay."
Chloe sat at the computer, and thought about passwords. "Ahem." Chloe noted Robyn's sarcasm. Of course. Auto logon. Chloe clicked. SENT MESSAGES. CLICK. Chloe read emails written to Llane@LZI.com, Luthor@Luthorcorp.com, and one written to manager@LZI.com. Chloe gasped. "I didn't think."
Robyn laughed harshly. "Of course not! No one in this country town thought anything of him. Either he was stealing your money, or finding a fresh start. No one had any clue."
Chloe wiped the sweat off her forehead. Tapping into encrypted files for an hour was difficult. "Well, Chloe. What do you think you're doing? And why are you here with that stranger?" Chloe heard Lex's voice, but didn't look up. Robyn had told her that she could handle Lex. "Lex Luthor. I've longed all my miserable life to meet you! Now my life has meaning." Robyn's voice dripped with sugary sarcasm.
Lex turned. "If you'll take Chloe, forget everything you've read, I'll let you walk out that door." Robyn smiled cruelly. "And let you get away with this? I think not. Lisa Lane will be intrigued by what her ex-beau and cousin are doing." Lex's hand moved swiftly. SLAP! Robyn's eyes were fiery with rage, but she did not strike back. She did not touch her red cheek. "Violence from Lex Luthor. Why did I expect nothing better?" The other cheek—SMACK! Chloe looked up. Lex had taken his hand and slapped his knuckles across her other cheek. Robyn knew that she was being harmed, but she said nothing. "You think you have friends, Lex Luthor. They will turn on you. As we speak, Lisa is reading your email letters to and from Lois. She'll find them very interesting. She'll ask Lois, and of course, Lois will tell her it's nothing, but Lisa is independent." Lex finally looked scared. "Out! I'm taking your birth certificates, driver's liscences, and—and—" Robyn grinned. "What's my name?" Lex looked her over. "Something Lane, Lang?" She grinned. "Come Chloe. We'll leave Lex to untangle the viruses you've set on his hard drive."
Robyn turned to Chloe as soon as they were off the property. She whispered directly into Chloe's ear, "I am Christiana Lue, but don't tell anyone." Chloe heard a small rustle. Robyn grinned. "Good. For the remainder of my visit, that is my name. So Lex will delete that life form from existing, even though it never did." Chloe shivered. "What about me?" Robyn sighed. "Pick two friends, and we'll leave in the morning." Chloe immediately thought of Clark, but she didn't want to bring Pete.
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Robyn didn't answer for a while. "Not one that we weren't using one another." She immediately changed the subject. "We're taking Lana and Clark." Chloe mumbled, but didn't object.
Clark and Lana thought it was simply a drive into Metropolis. Chloe informed them on the way. Robyn had a blonde wig on, and in the back, Lana and Clark were covered with a large blanket. Chloe wore a baggy coat, sunglasses, and her hair up in a baseball cap. "No sound made by anybody but me, got it?" Nods.
At the checkpoint, a Luthor Corp. worker looked at Robyn. "Hey. What's in the back?" Robyn grinned. "The you-know-what for LZI." The man grinned. "Gotcha. Don't get caught, though. Someone's suspicious in town." Robyn nodded. "I heard. Catch her, Joe." Joe nodded.
Lois Lane read Lex's hastily written email. Jet Raven. Lois slammed her fist down. Why now? It was going so well! Lois quickly wrote her father that Lex Luthor had been discovered.
1.1.1 Lo going after JR. Kr discovered with Le. Kill all test animals. Llane
The email would be rubbish to anyone else. The code had been perfected over the last 3 years.
Clark opened his eyes, and discovered he had been woke by pouring rain. "I want two of you to stay here." Clark and Chloe gave her looks that said 'not me!' Robyn laughed. "Yes, Chloe, and you know exactly why." Chloe tried to look disappointed, but she was glad. Clark and Lana wouldn't be together this way. "All right. Clark, make sure you don't get caught."
