Amnesia Girl

"Chloe I swear to god he practically molested me!"

Chloe's eyebrows has never risen so high in her entire life, "Clark, Clark Kent?! Tried to molest you?" Lois let out an annoyed groan, "No I told you it wasn't Clark. He looked like Clark… but he wasn't." she finished lamely completely aware that she sounded crazy.

"What do you mean wasn't? Are you sure it wasn't just Clark under effects of a love potion or something…"

"No!" Lois swore vehemently, "I'm telling you that it's like something came and stole Clark's body! I know this sounds insane but you didn't see him Chlo… it was like he was a completely different person."

Suddenly something dawned on Chloe, "This is really important Lo… was he wearing anything red? Like a red stone in a ring or necklace anything like that."

"Not unless he had it stuffed down his towel." Lois said shuddering. Chloe frowned perplexed, if it wasn't Kal-El then why was Clark acting so strangely, she knew something was up… the last time she saw him he was acting weird and now this incident with Lois only confirmed her fears.

This had something to do with Jor-El, and the only two people who could help her were Clark, but he was obviously out of the question… there was a chance this faux-Clark might be dangerous considering her past experiences with red-K affected Clark she wasn't willing to take that chance. And the other person was incognito… nobody had heard from or seen Kara for the last few weeks; Chloe knew she had no other option.

She had to track down Kara and find out what happened when Clark and Kara went to the Fortress of Solitude last month.

"Cuz?" Lois asked touching Chloe gently on the arm, "What's going on?"

Chloe swallowed the lump in her throat, "I don't know… but I'm going to get to the bottom of this." She threw her cell phone in her purse and moved to get her jacket.

"Wait, I want to help." Lois pled emotion rising within.

Chloe turned towards her with sympathetic eyes, she hated not telling Lois the whole story, but really how could she explain this without giving Clark and Kara's heritage away, "I know, but the best thing you can do is keep bi-polar Clark busy."

Lois let out a groan, "Why do I have to baby-sit Mr. Touchy feely?" Chloe shrugged, "Because he seems to be entertained by you" she wiggled her eyebrows in a suggestive manner, "and because we don't want him to realize we are onto him… just play along okay."

Lois nodded begrudgingly, "Oh and take this..." Chloe took a small lead box from inside her desk draw and handed it to Lois, she opened it and looked at her cousin in confusion, "is this a piece of meteor rock?" Chloe bit her lip unable to find an explanation and deciding to invent her own, "Look if things get out of hand at any moment just use this okay? Put it up to Clark's skin… Clark's allergic to it, so hopefully if this is just Clark under the influence of love potion he'll still react the same way."

Lois frowned but swallowed the urge to ask more questions about the information Chloe had just given her.

As she slipped into the elevator she looked down at her phonebook, searching for the surname name Queen.

Trudging up the stairs of the Talon towards her apartment she felt the apprehension of going back to the farm filter through her, she figured a quick shower and change then she'd head back into the lions den and hopefully with Lana around Clark wouldn't be so forward with her.

"Where have you been?"

For the second time that day she nearly jumped through the roof.

Clark sat on her couch dressed in a dark blue t-shirt and black jeans, standing slowly as she walked into the room.

"Jesus! Will you cut that out?" She snapped with a hand on her racing heart but she silently reminded herself she needed to pretend she was oblivious to the strange way he was acting or he would get suspicious.

"Sorry" he replied sheepishly with his trademark grin and she almost forgot for a moment that this wasn't really Clark standing in front of her and if it was Clark, he was under the influence of something that had drastically altered his perceptions and his personality.

He took a step towards her and she instinctively took one back cursing herself when an irate look flitted through his face but it disappeared as soon as it had emerged and it was replaced with a pout, "Look Lois I just wanted to come by and apologize."

Lois let out a breath and relaxed a little, walking past him and placing her bag and jacket on the couch.

"It's okay." She sighed and took another moment to collect her thoughts, "I know you didn't mean it, you were just under stress." She plastered a fake understanding smile over her features and let out a sigh of relief when Clark appeared to happily accept this explanation looking as though he wished he'd thought of it himself.

"It's just been so hard with my mom gone, my dad and my cousin." He laid on the emotion as much as possible, "I just figured you were the only other person who knew what it was like to be alone."

Lois clenched her jaw, trying desperately to cool the burning fire of anger that was boiling inside her. How dare this imposter use Clark's past to get too her, she smiled sympathetically, "Of course I understand." And she tried not too cringe too much when he moved towards her bringing her into him for a deep hug in which he nuzzled his face in her hair inhaling it's vanilla shampoo scent.

"I knew you would."

He smirked to himself thinking about all the ways he would make her scream Clark's name. He wasn't stupid enough to take her for granted like Clark was, he was going to keep her forever and have her in ways Clark had only dreamed of. He was even contemplating letting Clark out too see him and his conquest, thinking about the hurt look across his naive face was almost enough to make him fly to the fortress and do it... but he couldn't. Letting him out would be too dangerous… there was always a chance Clark could somehow over power and destroy him.

Nuzzling further into Lois's neck and feeling the smooth skin cause friction to course through his body he knew that was a chance he could never take.

The thirty minute flight to Star City felt like forever to Chloe, who could not have been happier when Oliver Queen was more than willing to oblige her mysterious request.

"Seriously Oliver you don't know how much help this is. I would never have been able to find her by myself."

Ollie smiled at the petite blonde, "Well let's just say I owed Kent some favors anyway… I'm just repaying the debt."

"Oh and remember to tell the pilot he needs to radio Detroit air station and inform them you'll be flying in and out within a few hours so they can prepare the strip for departure."

Chloe nodded and smiled warmly at him regarding him for a second, "She's good."

"Who's good?" Oliver pretended to fiddle with the computer in front of them.

"You know who."

"Oh right her." Oliver turned to face the blonde as she gathered her things, "Thanks Chloe that's nice to hear, I know she thinks I don't care anymore... but I think I'll always care about her she was a genuinely good friend to me I miss her … you know."

Chloe smiled once again, "Yeah I know. I better get going if I want to make the flight to Detroit before midnight... thank you so much again Ollie for the satellite photos and the private jet and everything."

He let an easy smirk come to his lips as he escorted her into the hallway where his personal bodyguard Jeff was waiting to take her to the air strip, "Well I guess you'll owe me one Miss Sullivan and I always collect my debts." Chloe blushed slightly in response and rolled her eyes at the Queen charm following the bodyguard Oliver had ordered to escort her to his private jet.

An hour later she was on the way to Detroit to find Kara, the only person she could trust and who would have some idea what was going on.

Chloe sighed as she watched the tiny quilt pattern of land zoom past beneath her, if she was going to help Clark she needed to first speak to Jor-El and she did not want too do that alone. She figured bringing along another El might make the frosty 3-D voice on the ice fortress wall that Clark called daddy more willing to help her cause.

"Just sit here and don't talk to anyone."

Lois blew her bangs from her face and attempted to juggle files on her hip while pulling out a desk chair for Clark.

The safest (and busiest) place Lois could think to bring Mr. Smooth Moves was the bullpen. The afternoon was one of the most chaotic times for the Planet with the Daily Planet morning newspaper one of the biggest sellers of any published news making the deadline was do or die for every person in the room.

"Lane! Get your ass in my office! And bring the research for the Sutton story."

Lois whipped around to face the new editor, hoping desperately to impress him with this latest reporting expose, "Coming Chief!" she madly gathered he papers she needed but Clark's hand reached out and grabbed her own stilling her motions.

"Why does that man think he can talk to you like that?!" His face bore traces off anger and protectiveness and it shook Lois to think about those emotions being caused on his features because of her.

"Be-cau-se" she drew out extracting her hand from his vice like grip, "he's the new editor therefore my boss therefore he can talk to me how ever the hell he wants."

Clark seemed to think about this new idea for moment, "So because he has a higher ranking position than you, it means you must obey him. No matter what he tells you to do you have to do it?"

Lois rolled her eyes and clucked her tongue, "Yes that's the jist of it. Of course it really has nothing to do with Perry, its Lex who calls the shots around here now."

Clark's eyes lit up as Bizarro recalled memories of the man, "Lex Luthor?"

Lois sent him a quizzical look, "The bald billionaire himself. Didn't Chloe tell you he took over the Planet?" He quickly recovered nodding, "Oh right yeah she did, it must have slipped my mind."

Perry White stuck his head outside his office once more and tapped furiously on the face of his watch, "Lane! Do I look like your prom date I'm not going to wait all night for you and I'm sure as hell not giving you a corsage!!! What's the hold up?!"

"Sorry! Sorry! I'm coming chief!" Lois nodded in Clark's direction and took off at an impressive speed towards her editor's office.

Bizarro sat mulling this latest information over, although he certainly enjoyed the challenge Lois posed, it would be much easier for him if she was more obedient, if she was willing.

Smirking to himself he knew a way he could make that happen.

Lex's new intern blushed furiously as he leaned over her shoulder dangerously close to her face, inspecting the reports she had typed up for him, "And I've arranged for your real estate agent to inspect the mansion on Monday." He nodded, smirking when he noticed the crimson tinge to her cheeks.

"You've been such a help to me Cindy, really I would be positively lost without you." He let his fingers linger on her shoulder and felt a certain satisfaction when her eyes involuntarily closed.

Trying to sound more sophisticated than she felt she replied uneasily, "O—oh I'm sure you'd find your way somehow Mr. Luthor." She tucked a piece of her light blonde hair behind her ear and Lex's gaze was drawn towards the slight show of cleavage her silk shirt allowed.

Cindy sent her boss a small smile, inside she was squirming. Was Lex Luthor actually interested in her? She couldn't wait too gloat to the girls in the main office.

"Well I should really go and print these out," she said pointing to her laptop.

"Yes of course, sorry for keeping you Cindy." Lex moved back towards his desk when he reached it he stood for a moment enjoying the view of Cindy's swaying backside as she exited his office.

Lex let out a sigh; she was cute in a high school cheerleader sense. But cute wasn't really his thing anymore, no he was a man that enjoyed finer things. More mature things, things that challenged him.

Suddenly a certain pesky brunette sprung to mind and he let himself indulged at the idea of taming the wildness in Miss Lane but quickly dismissed it when he remembered just how irritating her nosiness could be. That was the good thing about Lana; at first it was all too easy to pull the wool over her eyes… Lex got the feeling the excuses he used on Lana would be seen through in seconds by Lois Lane.

"Sir! Wait! You can't go in there!"

The doors to Lex's office swung wide open and the surrounding walls seemed to vibrate in after shock.

"Sorry Mr. Luthor I told him you were busy…" Cindy trailed off embarrassed.

"No it's quite alright. Mr. Kent had an appointment I'm sure, I must have forgotten to ask you to schedule it down." He sent her an apologetic smile, "Please shut the doors on the way out."

Cindy nodded and did as she was asked.

"It's good to see you Clark I almost didn't recognize you without the plaid. Don't tell me? Something awful happened and it's somehow my fault."

Bizarro sent Lex a wicked grin, "Not quite."

He took a few strides towards Lex's scotch tray and poured himself a glass as Lex looked with annoyance and curiosity, "I want you to sign complete ownership of the Daily Planet... over to me."

Lex let out a laugh of amusement, "You cannot be serious. Why in the world would I sign over ownership off a multi-billion dollar business to a farm boy from Kansas?"

Bizarro swallowed the remaining liquid in his glass, savoring the bitterness.

"Who ever said you had a choice in the matter."

- - -

"Oh crap!" Lois muttered when she reached her desk with no sign of Clark in the room.

Chloe was going to murder her for not keeping her eye on him, but he couldn't have gone far she reasoned she had only been in Perry's office for ten minutes.

The tones of Nelly Furtardo's Maneater filled her ears and she realized her cell phone was stuck somewhere in the bottom of her bag under the mountain pile of newspaper articles and reports on her desk. She searched through the mess for a few minutes before she finally located the noisy device, "I may have accidentally sort of lost our doppelganger" she blurted out before her cousin could get a word in, "before you kill me I just want too say I only left him alone for like a few minutes-"

But she was quickly cut off by Chloe, "Lois, we may have bigger problems."

Kara sat on the plane tears staining her face, "Its Kara."

Lois let out the breath she had been holding ever seen Kara vanished, "You found her?! How is she? Where was she? Is that what you've been doing this whole time? Not to sound ungrateful but how's that going to help with our Clark problem?"

Chloe put a comforting arm on the blonde's back, "She's fine. Listen Lois the other stuff isn't important right now… what's important is that she had no idea who she is."

Lois let out a laugh of astonishment, "Are you kidding me? What is with the Kent's and memory loss? Is it like hereditary?"

After a moment of silence from her cousin Lois wondered if there was something she should ask or know but right now she was honestly baffled by the events that had taken place in the last 24 hours, "Chloe you still there?"

The blonde let out a large sigh; she had no idea what to do now. Kara was supposed to know what to do; Kara was supposed to be the answer and the solution to the problem they faced.

How did she explain this to Kara but more importantly how would she explain all of this to Lois? Because if one thing was clear to her it was that keeping Lois in the dark about all this was no longer an option.

"Yeah I'm here. Don't worry about Clark for now okay? Just meet me at the landing strip out by Dinah field in an hour; there's something you need to know."
