Disclaimer: I don't own Smallville if I did something like this would happen.
A/N: So I decided to contiue this but it will still be shorter and will be a few chaps. It will basically be my idea about how the season premeire could be.
Chloe didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to say to Davis. She didn't know how to break the news to him. How do you tell your boyfriend exactly that his split self killed your ex-husband? How could she tell him that she was split and quite possibly the evil part? How could he possibly love her if she was evil? So Chloe evaded the issue as long as possible. She made sure he didn't turn on the TV to see the news. They continued to travel in cognito on the run. She knew that could be a little more free now, now that people thought Davis was dead, but Davis didn't know that. She couldn't do it. She loved him. She wanted to be honest with him, but she was struck by the fear that he would leave her as soon as he found out she was the evil Chloe. She couldn't take that thought. So they traveled from motel to motel, struggling. Things were tense and Chloe knew that Davis could tell there was something wrong.
They were eating lunch in their latest seedy motel room in Edge City when Chloe was looking at her badly burnt grilled cheese sandwich like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Davis had ate his burnt sandwich and then after taking a few bites he looked at Chloe with his knowing eyes. And said, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing I just can't eat this. I really should learn how to nuke these things properly." Chloe said dismissively but couldn't bear to look Davis in the eye. She knew if she did he would make it extremely hard for her to lie to him.
Then Davis said, "You've coped with bad food before? You know I can just cook you another one. I've nuked so many 'grilled cheese sandwiches' from living on my own and from living in foster homes I have it to an art."
Davis gave her his playful smile and his warmth hurt her. He was such a good and sweet guy now. It was all of him now. There was no beast brewing in the surface. There was no inner darkness at all. It was him the guy whose smile curved his lips and brightened the darkest sky.
Then Chloe tried her hardest to fake a smile and said, "I'm just not that hungry. Davis."
Davis pulled up her chin with his gentle thumb and said, "Chloe you could tell me anything what is wrong?"
Chloe reluctantly looked up into his eyes and their eyes locked. She couldn't take that. She gazed deep into his deep brown eyes. They bore into her heart, mind, body, and soul. They did strange things to her like make her tell the truth. She really hated that.
Then she bursted out in tears flooding through her eyes and dripping down her cheeks. Davis got up out of his chair that was on the other side of this broken down motel desk and put the chair right beside her to hug her. He took her within his arms and she cried on his shoulder and then he said, "Chloe, just let it out. What is it?"
After crying for a few moments and making a puddle stain on Davis shirt she backed away and gazed up at Davis. There was so much comfort and love there. She felt so right there. Some how just crying on his should always helped ease the pain. He soothed her and patted her back and rubbed circles along her back after awhile soothing her. Then she looked up and breathed out clearing out her crackled throat and said, "Davis I…I'm so scared. I'm afraid…"
"What are you afraid of? Is it Clark? We haven't heard anything I'm sure he defeated the monster. But if you want to go back to find out…"
"Noooo." Chloe said desperately going back to Smallville or Metropolis would only make things so much worse. Oliver would really try to kill Davis now that they really thought Davis was a psychotic killer. And if not Clark would make sure he was thrown in jail for the rest of his life. She couldn't let that happen the very thought made her ill.
Then she said, "I'm afraid of…of…I'm afraid of me."
Davis sat there and caressed her cheek and said, "Why?"
"I have this deep dark fear brewing inside of me that I'm all wrong. I'm not right my very existence is evil."
Davis eyebrows furrowed in confusion and he said, "Chloe are you confusing yourself with me?"
Chloe shook her head and said, "No Davis, you're good now. You're so good but me it's like I'm all wrong. I'm afraid I'm evil."
Davis looked deep with in her emerald eyes and he took her hand with in his. He caressed her palm and squeezed it and said, "Listen to me Chloe you are far from evil. You're the opposite. You're my angel."
Chloe let go of his hand and stood up and turned away from him. She did not like Davis calling her an angle before but now more then ever. She was the opposite of an angel now. She was the dark side of her self. She did not feel worried for Clark or grieving for the loss of Jimmy all she felt was the fear of losing Davis. Everything was about him he was all that mattered to her. If the world would end so she could be with him she would let it. That is how wrong she was. She would let that monster destroy the city and the whole world as long as she had Davis by her side with her. That was how evil she was and she couldn't stand it.
Then she folded her arms and turned to Davis stoutly and said, "I'm no angle Davis. I'm far from it. I'm different."
Davis searched her face full of worry and concern and he said, "Is this about your meteor infection? Has something happened? Something you can't control."
Chloe was about to say no and tell him what really happened but as she opened her mouth the words could not come out. Her fear of losing him over powered the ease-ness she had felt that caused her to tell him the truth. Chloe then said, "Yeah, it has. I just…ever since I found out about it I was always afraid that I would turn evil and…"
"And destroy things instead of save them. Chloe if anyone could understand it is me. I am the poster boy for fearing your going to destroy the world."
Chloe nodded and said, "I know but that thing that was inside of you is gone. There's nothing that can just take the meteor infection out of me. Besides the meteor infection is in my heart, I'm pretty sure it would kill me."
The words just came out of her as she was remembering the truth of her fears she did had when her meteor infection was so prevalent a little over a year ago. So much has changed since then.
Then Davis said, "Don't worry Chloe I won't let you go all fatal attraction. I'll be here for you every step of the way. But I am a little confused I thought you said that your healing power hasn't worked in a long time and how could that power make you evil."
Chloe found a hic up in her lie. She couldn't prove her little lie to him. She then said, "Well, it's evolved. I'm afraid it's more dangerous I just wish…"
Then something dawned on her there was something she could do. She had to do it. She needed answers and she needed help. So she said,
"I wish I could get some kind of medical help I wish I could go to a scientist to help me with this and find out if it will cause me to do harm to people once and for all."
Then Davis said, "Why don't you? Chloe I'm willing to risk exposure so you can find the help you need. You have risked you're whole life for me."
Then Chloe nodded her head and said, "OK, I'll do it. I'll go to Dr. Emil Hamilton, if anyone can help me. It's him."
Then Davis took her hand within his and said, "We'll go together Chloe. I will always be there for you what ever you need."
Then Davis hugged her to reassure her. She wasn't reassured, she had lied to him and his presence there would not help things. But she would figure it out she had to, her future with Davis depended on it.
Clark Kent had given up on humanity. He had always thought that there were good in them. He had this feeling for a long time that he was wrong as a Kryptonian, there was this darkness inside of him that he was truly afraid of. He was afraid that one day he would wake up and turn against them. He had seen them, he was raised with humans, and he had tried so hard to be like them. He wanted to be accepted and loved by them. He wanted to embrace those feelings of love. He didn't want to believe his biological father that those feelings were his downfall. He had always thought that he would believe in people and in their goodness and that they could always come back from the darkness. But then Davis Bloome had changed all of that with one act in one moment. Davis Bloome let his emotions get the best of him and he killed Jimmy because Chloe picked Jimmy over him.
He had believed in Davis. He had believed that Chloe did see good in him and if he just separated the wrong evil part of him with his human self then everything would be ok, Davis could go on living like a normal human and he would defeat the Kyptonian monster and everything would be ok. But he was wrong. Oliver was right humans were the wrong ones. Humans were the ones who let their heart make them do evil things. And he could not be part of that race anymore.
He had no planet to go to. He was stuck here on earth. He went to the Fortress it was the closest thing to Krypton he had. He had gone there and started his training he started to learn so much about Krypton. As he was doing it trying to just focus on the massive amounts of knowledge he tried to focus so much on it. He did it in anger and wanting to do what ever he had to do to make sure that humans would not do these horrible things again. He would stop them. But half away through Jor-el stopped it and Clark yelled,
"Jor-el what is the problem I can do this."
"No you can't my son. You're heart is full of too much anger and rage. You can not save this race with that anger."
"I am not being run by my emotions father. I have fulfilled my destiny I am becoming more like a Kryptonian. Isn't that what you always wanted?"
"Being full of rage will not help you. You are still being run by your emotion of anger. You cannot save anyone that way."
"What if I don't want to save anyone what if I want to punish them?"
"Then you are not welcome here until you get your act together."
Clark punched a large pillar crystal until it shattered in pieces and then he sped away. He sped around the world filled with so much rage. He couldn't believe after all of this time his biological father had the nerve to throw him out. He had finally embraced his Kryptonian destiny. He didn't see the problem.

Chloe arrived at Star Labs a little nervous. OK she was more then a little nervous. She was sitting next to Davis- someone everyone saw as dead, someone's who everyone thought killed her ex-husband. She doubted that she could pass the reception desk with out getting a call to the Justice League or Clark. Her hands loosened off of the steering wheel and then she turned to Davis and said,
"Davis I think you should stay here. It will be safer here out of sight."
Davis looked down and said, "I'm still wanted I know."
Then Chloe leaned in to give him a quick kiss good bye then Davis grabbed her kissed her in a deep full passionate kiss. Then Davis parted from Chloe and held on to her arm and said, "Chloe I just want to be there for you."
"I know and you will be inside the car."
"Yes dear." Davis said jokingly.
Chloe shot him an annoyed look but his jokes always made her smile. She went in Star Labs full of conviction. She needed to make sure she could continue to be with Davis and be honest with him and have life with him. She couldn't be evil.
When she got in Dr. Emil Hamilton's office he was looking into the telescope and looked up. His dark curly messy hair seemed to be a bit more ruffled and messier then she remembered. He looked down a little afraid.
"Chloe I thought I told you on the phone there is no way I can find Clark. I'm a scientist I don't have magical powers. And any more threats won't conjure them up."
Chloe gazed at him perplexed and said, "I threatened you?"
Emil looked at her quizzically and asked, "You don't remember?"
"No. Why don't you refresh it?"
"Well, you asked me if I could try find Clark using heat signatures or something but as I told you on the phone it's impossible for me to track Clark. And you threatened to expose any secrets I may have if I didn't try every thing I could to get Clark back."
"Back from where?" Chloe asked.
"How long have you had the symptoms of amnesia?"
"About a day. So doc I was wondering if you could run some tests on me."
He looked at her fear coloring his eyes.
"Chloe you talked to me on the phone a couple of hours ago."
Then Chloe said, "Fine, I guess I'll get straight to it. When I split Davis from Doomsday I used Black Kryptonite and it seemed to work on me."
Emil stared at her filled with shock and he said, "So you're split…Chloe I had gotten your files that you sent me on your notes on the meteor infected and all of your strange occurrences and on humans it works in the way it split the good and bad side."
"Yeah, well you're thorough. I didn't think you'd go through all of it."
"I'm a scientist there for naturally curious."
"I know the feeling." Chloe said.
Then Emil said with apprehension, "So why are you here? What do you want?"
"I want answers. I need to know which side I am."
"What?" He asked her and then he started to ponder something the wheels looked like they were turning.
Then he said, "You think you're the bad side."
"Yeah. I'm afraid I just need to know for sure. I don't see how Davis could love me if I'm evil."
Emil gaped at her and said, "So you didn't hear? Oh my Chloe I'm so sorry to tell you but Davis and Jimmy are…"
"Dead I know. They killed each other for me, I saw the news. But the Black K worked on Davis too. It worked on his human side as well."
"Huh? Wow? So where is he now?"
"Doctor do you really think I'm that stupid? You could still call the cops and get him arrested or call your Justice League buddies."
"I could still call them now and tell them all about you but you risked that just to see if you're evil."
"I have to know."
"I think that right there is all the proof you need. Most evil people do not think their evil. Most evil people do not care if they are evil."
"Based on what? Where's your evidence of that?" Chloe asked.
"I guess I can run some tests and see what the Black K did to your body. But that's all I can do."
"That's all I ask." Chloe said with a smile.
Then Emil said, "Hmmmm, you know this kind of makes sense."
"What?"
"It's just when I talked to you before and all of our dealing about Davis I could have sworn you did it, because of your feelings for him. The way you were so desperate to save him and in the way you practically threatened to sick him on me. And then when I heard about what happened and found out why I could not believe it. I am truly sorry…"
"Sorry doctor, but perhaps we shouldn't linger down memory lane. Davis still needs me."
Emil took that in consideration and then went to work.
Davis sat in the car bored. Everything was so different now that he was split. His mind was so clear. He had that guilt gnawing at him at every turn but he still had Chloe right there beside him comforting him and pulling him through it all. He knew that having Chloe with him was the best thing that has ever happened. He was eternally grateful for her and for God sending her to him. She saved had saved him from a life of tragedy and pain. She had kept him himself, instead of disappearing forever.
Davis could not stand that Chloe was in there all alone and facing her fear that her meteor infection brought on. He knew what was like to have something inside of you that threatened the very essence of the person you had always tried to be. He just wanted to be there to comfort her. He did not care if he were caught and thrown in jail. So he got out of the car on his way to see Chloe when suddenly he was attacked by Clark.
