"Chloe… how'd you get here so fast? Was that… Chloe, what happened to you?" Chloe shook her head and just dropped her bag down and moved towards him as slow as she could.

"Help me. Something… happened. I think it's from the… tree and the lightning and… I can't explain."

"It's okay. Just… tell me what happened. Start at the beginning."

"I was in bed at home, when I began to feel sick. I was moving to get up, and the next thing I knew I was in the bathroom, in like a nanosecond. I felt like I was gonna be sick. Then… I saw through to the basement and the water began to bubble… My eyes were doing it. I was doing it."

Clark pulled her towards him, feeling her tremble in his arms as he thought about what she said. She had abilities… like his. How had that happened?

"I ran here. I literally just left my house, and I'm here. How… how does something like this happen?"

"Chloe-"

"Don't use that tone with me mister!" she said, stepping back from him to look into his eyes. "I'm not crazy."

"I don't think you are-"

"Yes you do. What's wrong with me?!" she cried out, shoving him so hard he fell over the edge of the loft, heading straight towards the barn floor. "CLARK!" She ran down and got down there at the same time he did, so she could see with her own two eyes that he was standing up, unhurt. "A fall like that… should've broken your neck…"

"Chloe…"

"Oh my gosh."

"Chloe, let me explain."

"HOW LONG? HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LYING TO ME CLARK?!"

"Chloe it's not like that."

"Did I get these… powers, from you?" Clark cringed a bit because of all the disgust in her voice, but shook it off as her being upset.

"No, it's not like that. Just let me explain. Please?" Chloe looked like she was gonna cry, but instead screamed and ended up burning a medium-sized hole in the barn wall. "Come on Chloe was that necessary?!"

"I can't control it Clark! Can you?"

"Yes," he said, speeding up to her and holding her wrists in his hands. "And I can help you. Okay? Just… calm down." She let him pull her into his arms as began to speak softly, in a way his mom used to do when he got upset about his abilities. "It's gonna be okay Chlo. You know why? Because I've been dealing with this for a long time."

"Were you… born like this?"

"Yes."

"How'd it happen to me then?"

"The tree that had fallen on you… it got struck by lightning right?"

"Right."

"Somehow, with the lightning and the tree… it had green roots."

"So?"

"Meteor rock was in those roots."

"Oh no. I'm a meteor freak. I've finally become what has always been after me." She looked up at Clark and frowned. "No wonder you never told me."

"I couldn't risk the chance of hurting you."

"Does Lana-"

"No. Just my parents, and Pete recently became aware." Chloe nodded and rested her head against Clark, her arms going around his waist. "Chloe, there's something else…"

"Whatever it is, can it wait for the morning? I'm so tired."

"Shouldn't you go home?"

"No, I don't want to be alone right. Please, just… stay with me?" Clark nodded and led her up to the couch he kept in the loft. They both sat down and she curled up next to him, soon fast asleep. Clark just watched her for a second before he leaned back and closed his own eyes, letting the thought of falling asleep with Chloe knock him out.

…

When Martha didn't find her son in his room, she kept from freaking out.

Even when she found him in the loft, spooning his female best friend, she was just glad it wasn't Pete – she didn't think she could handle that conversation so early in the morning.

And when she poked them and saw Chloe jump up and over the rail in shock, she kept her own in check when she saw the amused look on her son's face.

"Breakfast will be ready soon. Good thing I made extra," is all she said as she turned away, not glancing at the embarrassed Chloe who was huddled on the loft floor, her face burning.

Of course, when she got out of the loft and towards the house, she couldn't quite muffle her laughter at their faces.

It was times like these that made being a mom really, really, worth it.

…

Chloe got up off the floor and moved slowly towards Clark.

"She's a sneaky woman," she muttered, making Clark laugh a bit as he ran a hand through his hair.

"That she is. Even with my hearing she's gotten good at sneaking around." Chloe nodded and sat next to Clark, her head falling onto his shoulder.

"Will you tell me about your… powers?"

"… Chloe-"

"If I'm going to be like this too… I want to finally understand you. I'll keep your secret Clark. And you'll keep mine." Chloe looked up at him this time, her face too somber for his liking. "Let me in Clark. There's no reason to hide from me now."

And then – Clark had to get used to her speed – she kissed him.

This wasn't the first time they had kissed, sure, but this time…

Clark felt her own power in the kiss and knew he didn't have to hold his back either.

Not anymore.

He could get used to this.

Chloe was thinking the same thing.

…

Awwwwww.

This is fun to write. I hope it continues to be that way.

See ya'll next time.
