"From the deepest desires often comes the deadliest hate." Socrates

Part 1

The first thing he noticed was how wrong everything felt. The ground which at one moment had been ice was now solid rock. Davis had felt nothing like it. The air around him was harsh like a windy day but with a foreboding feel to it. Cold and harsh. As he stood to get his bearings he looked up at the sky and saw that it wasn't blue but more a strange shade of grey. He looked further into the sky and saw not one but two moons that seemed to be mocking him, laughing at him. Telling him he was fabulously screwed.

Was this the Phantom Zone?

The last thing he remembered was Clark Kent. The other Kryptonian. The one who lead a charmed life while he suffered. While the beast inside of him made him do terrible, horrible things. Clark had told him that he was sending him to the Phantom Zone.

Was this the Phantom Zone?

If it was, then Clark Kent was a real bastard. Davis would have almost preferred death to this place. If he could die. The beast in him wouldn't allow it. He was immortal. Unkillable so Clark Kent sent him to this place…alone.

Davis Bloome hated Clark Kent almost as much as he hated himself.

"Uhhhh."

Davis jumped when he heard moaning behind him. Crumpled in a heap, he could barely recognize the short blonde hair- Chloe was here. Chloe who had tried to save him so many times. Chloe- his Chloe. Happiness that he wasn't alone here turned to horror as he realized she was trapped here with him.

Why was she here?

"Chloe what are you doing here?" Davis knelt next to her. She pushed herself up onto her elbows, a groan escaping her lips as she over did it.

"Davis?" Chloe whispered.

"It's me." Davis smiled weakly. His EMT training over rode his emotions and he began to make sure that Chloe wasn't bleeding or had any head trauma. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to stop Clark." She smiled weakly at him. Chloe pushed his hands away from her head and shrugged. "I guess I didn't do a very good job."

"Apparently not."Davis smiled back at her. Chloe pushed herself up and Davis rose with her, his hands reaching out to steady her.

"So this is the Phantom Zone." She whispered as her eyes struggled to take it all in.

"Apparently so."

"I always knew Jor-el was a bastard." Chloe sighed. "So what now?"

Davis looked around as well. Off in the distance were large mountains, but with their luck, they were far in the distance. The desert they were currently standing in seemed to go on for miles. "We need to get to the mountains." It was their only chance of surviving, at least for the moment. They needed to figure things out and they couldn't do that in the open.

Chloe looked toward where Davis pointed and then nodded. "At least we're together."

Davis didn't know how to respond to that. A part of him always believed that Chloe was only with him to keep his beast at bay. Why would someone so wonderful, so perfect be with him otherwise? He was a beast. A killer. He might deserve this hell but Chloe didn't.

"Are you coming Davis?" Davis jumped as Chloe's voice cut into his thoughts. Chloe was a few feet away from him. "I don't think I can make it all that way by myself. The wind….."

Davis nodded and ran as fast as he could to her. Chloe was right. The cold wind was going to be a problem. They needed to get to the mountains fast. Chloe's life might depend on it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What do you mean she's gone?" Clark felt his heart sink. After he had sent Davis Bloome to the Phantom Zone he had gone to find Chloe. He knew she was going to be angry at him and he needed to explain why he did it. Davis was evil. He knew she'd understand eventually- once Davis was out of the picture.

All Clark wanted was his best friend back.

He wanted things to go back to the way things were before.

Before Davis had ruined everything.

"She went after Davis." Oliver repeated. "She found out you planned to send him to the Phantom Zone and she went to stop you."

"What?"

"I tried to stop her but…" Oliver paused, "Clark have you ever considered she might actually love him?"

"No." Clark whispered, the word more to himself then to Oliver. "She can't…"

Oliver stepped closer to his friend, taking in the worried look on his face.

"What happened Clark? Did you send Davis to the Phantom Zone? Did Chloe try to stop you?" Clark seemed to ignore him, continuing to stare straight ahead. He grabbed his friend's arm, shaking him slightly. One of them had to stay strong, and right now it had to be Oliver. He could worry about his friend later. "Clark what happened?"

Clark felt the room suddenly turn as cold as ice as a sense of foreboding came over him. "I don't know."

-------------------------------------

Davis grabbed onto Chloe as she fell for what seemed like the hundredth time. Every time it looked like they were getting closer to the mountains Davis would look up and they seemed to be further away. He was starting to believe the mountains didn't exist- that they were some cruel hoax.

"Davis, I don't think I can make it."

"Sure you can." Davis tried to smile. "Come on Chloe, we're almost there."

"Liar."

Davis and Chloe continued to make their way to the mountains. The only thing that seemed to be in their favor was that the Phantom Zone seemed to have what appeared to be incredibly long daylight hours. Or maybe they had just lost all track of time. It didn't matter though. The mountains still looked so far away and Davis wasn't sure that Chloe was going to make it.

Davis wasn't sure he was either.
