OOOOO
Chapter 2 "Consequence"
"I must be hearing things." Chloe Sullivan spoke glancing at Lana. "Because I could have swore you said you had powers."
"Because I do." Lana said taking a seat on the couch. She then glanced at the metal frame lying on the desk. A moment later her eyes glowed red then a flame shot out hitting the metal frame.
Lois jumped startled and looked at Lana shocked. She blinked a couple times realizing she wasn't seeing things. Chloe pretended to act shocked knowing Lana had powers just like Clark. "WOW."
"Oh my god they got you too." Lois spoke staring at Lana surprised.
Chloe chuckled while Lana stared at Lois confused. "What do you mean they got me…do you remember something." Lana asked.
"Lois thinks an alien abducted you and gave you powers." Chloe spoke rolling her eyes.
Lana chuckled. "Lois there are no such things as aliens."
"If that's true then why else would you have powers and I've been branded like a cow." Lois replied yanking her collar over her shoulder. "See."
Lana stared at it oddly and a little worried. "Does it hurt?"
"No, but I want to know how in the hell it got there." Lois spoke.
"Don't feel bad Lois when I woke up I noticed this on me." Lana stood up and lifted the back of her shirt showing the odd tattoo on her lower back. "I'm confused on how it got there.
Lois glanced at it. "Well at least it looks like a tattoo, then a branded mark." She mumbled.
Lana sighed. "How about you Chloe, have you noticed anything."
"Ah…Never checked."
Lois rolled her eyes and walked over to Chloe pulling her to stand up. "Come on Chloe stand up and lift the back of your shirt."
Chloe rolled her eyes. "Lois I would know if I had a tattoo on my back."
"Well it looks like you didn't look very good." Lois spoke glancing at the tattoo on Chloe's back.
"WHAT." Chloe quickly looked in the mirror to see the same tattoo that Lana has on her back. Chloe didn't know what to think now. She was starting worry about what really happen yesterday at the party.
"Scoot over Chloe; I need to see if I have one." Lois lift her shirt and cursed when she seen the identical mark on her back. "What the hell they did this for. Don't' they have anything better to do then capture humans and place marks on them?"
Lana smirked at Lois. "Lois this whole town is capital of meteor freaks. It could have been anything.
"If that's what you want to believe." Lois glanced at Lana and took a seat on the couch. "Besides at least you got cool powers."
"Do I sense a hint of jealously?" Chloe teased.
"No, not at all." Lois spoke maybe feeling a little jealous but she wasn't going to complain about it.
"Has anybody had any memory's come back to them?" Lois asked looking at Chloe and Lana. They weren't speaking and the look on their face she could tell they knew something or was hiding something. "Ok spill I know that look Chloe. What do you know? And you too Lana,"
"I only get bits and pieces of memories." Chloe spoke wandering if she should tell them. It was embarrassing enough to admit. "I…ah…remembered kissing Clark."
Lana looked at her surprised. Lois smirked. "Well at least you didn't wake up cuddled near him."
Chloe sighed. "But its wrong…I mean he's my best friend…how could I get that drunk to…"
"Don't worry about it Chloe. It's not like you had sex with him." Lois spoke regretting the moment she did because Lana and Chloe were looking at her surprisingly.
"Eww…No...I would remember something like that." Lois spoke. "But you got to admit he does have a nice body and…
"LOIS…" Lana looked at her irritated.
"Fine I'll stop talking about your Ex-love. Do you remember anything Lana?" Lois asked.
Lana shook her head and sighed. She remembered a memory of her holding something near Clark. He looked like he was in pain or something. "Well, ah…I think I might have hurt Clark." Lana spoke softly.
"Hurt…what makes you think that." Chloe spoke a little worried.
"I…ah remember… straddling him to the ground and…
"Woo…I don't want information about you having sex with farm boy." Lois spoke plugging her ears.
"LOIS…I'm not talking about that…I was going to say… that I remember jamming a red rock in his chest." Lana spoke.
"WHAT." Chloe was petrified about this. She knew what red kryptonite did to him. She bet that's what made them wake up with no clothes on. She just hoped they didn't do anything that would make them regret it for the rest of their life.
"You tortured poor Clark, what's wrong with you." Lois spoke. Wait a minute what am I talking about. After the little prank he did earlier, he deserved that.
"Lana that rock that you placed on Clark is called Red kryptonite. I researched it and it makes anybody that touches it… loose." Chloe spoke.
"Oh great you sent horny Clark on us. Thanks a lot Lana." Lois spoke flustered.
Lana rolled her eyes. "Lois it's not like I wasn't myself. We all were affected and are wandering what happened." Lana glared at Lois. "And please don't tell anyone about my powers until I know how I got them.
Chloe smiled. "Believe me I can keep a secret always have." She spoke.
Lana looked at Lois. "Oh please you have nothing to worry about. Being the general's daughter you learn to keep secrets. Beside for once I'm kind of glad I don't remember what happen last night." Lois spoke knowing actually she did want to know but she didn't want to remember if she shagged farmer boy. She was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"I'll get it." Lana walked over and opened the door. "Jason, Clark… is something wrong?"
"Ah… we need to talk to you." Clark spoke hoping they didn't remember anything yet. He was desperately afraid of what they were going to find out about.
"What brings you here Sam?" Jonathan spoke taking a seat by the kitchen table.
"I wanted to thank you once again for having my daughter stay here." Sam said.
"It's no problem Sam." Jonathan spoke knowing there was another reason he was here then an thank him. He knew Sam since high school and knew that there was always a motive when it came to him. He's not saying he's a bad guy just that his work was more important than anything else most of time.
"Well It seems my job has landed me here for awhile. Since the meteor shower there are a lot of strange things that have been happening. So they want me investigating it to find out the cause."
Oh this was not good. Jonathan thought. "What strange things?"
"Most of it is non-sense but some of it is related to some people being affected by the meteor's that came down." Sam spoke.
"The meteors…are you sure they weren't affected themselves." Jonathan joked.
"Believe me I wish they were joking. Since the meteor shower there have been a lot of strange things happening that I would never believe if I never seen them with my own eyes. So I'll be here in Smallville for awhile." Sam spoke.
"That's great Sam. That gives you some time to spend with your daughters." Jonathan spoke.
"Ya, let's just hope they feel the same way since I bought the house down the street." Sam spoke.
"You bought the house on Ace Street." Jonathan spoke surprised.
"Yep." The general smiled. "It looks like we're going to be neighbors Jonathan."
Martha came in and almost dropped the tray of drinks she was carrying when she heard Sam told her husband that he was their new neighbor. She quickly sat the tray down on the table. "Did I just hear your moving to Smallville?"
Jonathan smiled a little. "He's our new neighbor."
Martha smiled pushing the uneasy feeling she was getting aside. "That's great. I bet Lois will be thrilled to have her own bathroom." She joked.
"She hogs your bathroom too." Sam chuckled and sighed. "Just like her mother."
The last few minutes Jason was telling Lana how she got possessed by a witch. Lana is surprised and so are the others. "Well at least were not possessed anymore." Chloe announced. "You did get rid of the book right." She said to Jason.
"I'm not sure where it is. Isabelle that possessed Lana took the book." Jason spoke. "That also probably explains the tattoo's on your back."
"Geez and I thought this alien crap was bad, now we have witches." Lois mumbled.
"Aliens?" Clark would have to ask Chloe what that's about. Clark smirked. If only she knew she was sitting with an alien. "Well at least we know how you got possessed but why did everyone go crazy last night."
"Crazy?" Jason stared at them strangely.
"Ya like drunk." Lois spoke. "You know a little wild than usual."
Lana glared at her wandering why she had to talk so much. Chloe shook her head and knew Clark was going to blow a gasket when he heard this. "Yesterday evening Lana found a red Kryptonite rock. I think that's why everyone was not themselves also."
Clark's eyes widened.
"Do you remember anything about last night Lana?" Jason asked.
"Well I remember tossing the rock towards Clark." Lana replied.
Clark froze. Oh god.
"Why would you toss it to him?" Jason asked looking at Clark suspicious.
"Because I think Clark was…trying to stop us. I remember having the spell book but he tossed it to the side trying to help us but…as soon as the rock hit him we were all affected somehow. I don't remember what happened afterwards." Lana spoke.
"Affected how." Jason spoke.
Lois rolled her eyes. "Were you listening to a thing we said?"
"Lois." Chloe glared at her then Clark who looked petrified. "I'm going to make some ice tea if you don't mind Lana."
"Ah…sure." Lana spoke.
"Clark could you help please." Chloe made her way in the kitchen as Clark quickly left the room. Once he was in the kitchen and knew no one was listening he quickly confronted Chloe.
"Chloe how did Lana get a hold of a red kryptonite and why is Lois going on about aliens." He whispered.
Chloe turned and smirked at Clark expression on his face. "I wish I had a camera right now."
"Chloe it's not funny. My life could very well be over." Clark asked.
"Clark I'm not sure how Lana achieved the rock but what I do know is Lana has powers like you and Lois thinks she was abducted by aliens." Chloe spoke.
"What. I can't believe it. That witch Isabelle…took my powers." Clark mumbled.
"Took…what do you mean?" Chloe spoke worried.
"Well…my powers all gone Chloe. I noticed it since I woke up this morning." Clark replied.
"Gone…Are you sure." Chloe asked shocked.
"I'm sure…I'm human now." Clark spoke. Chloe is surprised by this. She looked up and noticed the frown appearing on his face.
"Well that's one problem we have to fix. Other then that I thought this is what you wanted." She asked.
"Yes, but not if someone else carries my burden. Not to mention Lana could hurt someone if she doesn't know how to control it." Clark spoke.
"True, we need to find a way to get your powers back." Chloe spoke. "From Lana.
"Ya…I know but how am I supposed to do that without telling Lana about my secret." Clark spoke.
"I'm not sure but that's not the only problem we have... Lois has a krypton mark on her shoulder." Chloe spoke. "And she's determined to find out how it got there."
Great. "It keeps getting better."Clark muttered.
"Don't feel bad Clark. It wasn't your fault and besides it's not like you put that mark on her." Chloe spoke.
Clark sighed and hoped that at least that was true. He would never hurt Lois he…liked her. Wait he didn't just think that did him. "Maybe by father Jor-el knows something about this."
"You think Jor-el had something to do with this."Chloe spoke.
"No, but I think he might know a reason why Lois is bearing a Krypton symbol on her." Clark asked. "Besides I think the only way to find out what happen that night is to find Lex." Clark spoke.
"WHAT? Are you crazy?" Chloe spoke.
"Chloe I have too…he's the only one that would be crazy enough to have security cameras placed everywhere in this town." Clark spoke. "He probably has a satellite in space."
"Well…maybe but are you sure you can trust him?" Chloe spoke.
"No, I don't trust him but I'll tell him enough to help me out." Clark spoke.
Chloe gave him a small glance. "How about you have me and Lana go. Lana seems to get along with Lex more."
"No Lana is not going there. I don't trust Lex with her especially since she has powers now." she spoke.
"Do I sense some jealously?" Chloe spoke.
"Chloe." Clark glared at her.
"Fine, fine I'll stay with Lana and make sure we behave." Chloe said with a smirk. "Just be careful."
Clark smiled. "I will." He then walked out of the kitchen and towards the door.
Lois sees him and wandered where he was off too. "Where are you off to Smallville?"
"To see someone that might help with the missing memory of ours." Clark spoke.
"Well I'm heading out too. I just got a call from my father." Lois spoke
"You're father, are you leaving." Clark asked surprised.
'You wish Smallville. My father is at the Kent farm. He didn't say why so I better get going." Lois spoke walking past him.
Clark is surprised by this. He follows her out and heads to his truck wandering what General lane was doing in Smallville. Maybe he should go home first instead of seeing Lex.
Chloe walked back to the living room only seeing Lana there. "Where did Jason and Lois went to?
"Lois had to leave because her father is in town and Jason went home."
"Uncle Lane is here!" Chloe was surprised by this. Maybe he's visiting his daughter.
Chloe sat on the couch beside Lana and had a idea. "How are you and Jason?"
"Good, he's just seems worried about me." Lana spoke.
After a few moments of silence Chloe had an idea. "I think I know how to find out what happen that night?"
"How?' Lana asked.
"Lex might help; I mean I bet he has security cameras up everywhere in Smallville. Maybe if you persuade him." Chloe spoke with a smile.
"Why would you think Lex has Cameras everywhere." Lana asked.
"Because I found this online yesterday." Chloe grabbed her phone and showed her the Luthorcorp website. On the front page I had news announcement. Below it had an article. Luthorcorp takes over Satpec Initiative Co that is funded by NASA. Lana looked it over surprised.
"He'll never find out. All you have to do is disable the security guards in the video room and distract Lex while I go and hack into their satellite system." Chloe spoke.
"You have this all planned don't you." Lana smiled. "Chloe if you're caught we could be in serious trouble." Lana spoke.
"Come on, your invisible you can't get caught." Chloe joked.
Lana thought about it for a moment and sighed agreeing to it. "Fine but if were caught don't tell me I told you so."
Chloe smiled as they got ready to go to the Luther's mansion. She just hoped Clark won't be there when they did. It was best for him to stay out of this after all because if Lex or Lionel would ever find out about Clarks powers. God knows what they would do.
Lois gets out of the car and slams the door shut. "This better be good."
Clark followed her inside noticing General lane was in the kitchen with his father laughing about something. Surprised this was the first time he ever seen Lois father laugh.
General Lane turned towards the door along staring down the two newcomers. "Hello Lo… Kent."
Clark gulped and gave a quick look. "Sir."
Jonathan smirked at his son. "I'm going to get another cup of tea. Anybody want any?" he asked.
"Thanks Mr. Kent but I'm good." Lois spoke. Clark declined but went to help his father.
The General stared at his daughter hoping she wasn't going to have a fit when he told her he was moving here. "We need to talk Lo."
"Ok…about what?" Lois spoke.
The General turned towards his daughter with a smile. "How would you like to have your own room and bathroom? Including no more moving for while."
"What kind of question is that…that would be great? Are we moving somewhere permanently?" Lois asked. "Like California or Vegas or…
"You could say were moving but not to the city." General lane spoke.
"Ok…then where." Lois spoke praying it would be anywhere but here.
"We are moving to the house down the street that was just built recently." General lane said. "Your still be neighbors with the Kent's thro."
Lois frowned. "What are you joking? Wait are you retiring." Lois felt disappointed but kind of glad she was going to have her own bathroom now but why did it have to be in this hick town.
"No I'm not retiring Lo. The military is just remodeling a base here and they want me in charge of an operation." Lane spoke.
"Really, what type of operation?" Lois spoke suddenly curious.
"Lois." General lane glared at her.
"Fine, Fine I won't ask…I'm going to go up stairs and pack." She then looked over to see Clark walk back in and place the drinks on the table. He was heading to the door to leave when Lois walked over and grabbed his hand pulling him upstairs. "Come on Smallville you can help me pack."
Her father shakes his head at his daughter and wanders for a moment if the boy was interested in his daughter. If that was the case that Kent boy was going to get one hell of a surprise.
"Lex turned as he seen Lana walk in. "You laid quite path of destruction Lana."
Lana looked at Lex surprised. "What do you mean Lex.?"
"Well you did put me in the hospital but it was nothing serious. " Lex spoke walking to his desk. "I hope you are doing much better."
"Well, apparently, I have been exorcised. .. I was possessed by a witch. I don't remember what happen last night and I'm sorry." Lana spoke.
"It was nothing, but you did display some intriguing abilities." Lex replied with a smile.
"Yeah, I don't remember anything, which is why I came here." Lana spoke.
"You want to know what happen last night." Lex asked.
"I do…I was hoping you could help." Lana asked.
"How can I help?" Lex spoke.
"Well I awoke yesterday with no memory from Chloe's party. And you probably could shed some light on what happen here at least."
"Lana…are you sure you want to know.'
"I'm sure." Lana asked.
Lana was a little frighten after she left Lex's office. He showed her what she did to him. She was amazed that she possessed such powers to command him to play the piano until his hands bleed. She was just glad it wasn't anything life threaten.
Chloe heads to the front door placing the thumb drive in her pocket when Lana walks besides her startling her. "Geez Lana you scared me."
"I'm sorry." Lana spoke. "Did you get it?"
"Yes let's go." Chloe spoke walking out of the Luthor house with a smile hoping Lex never finds out she hacked into his computer. She just hoped after finding out what happened that it wasn't all for nothing.
Clark looked at Lois a little worried. "Your father is moving here. Why would he move here?"
"My father is doing recon here on the weird stuff that's been happening." Lois spoke. "That's the only explanation of why he could be in this hick town." Lois spoke folding her clothes in the suit case.
"You mean the meteor infected people." His eyes betrayed him as he glanced at Lois shoulder wandering what the symbol looked like on her arm.
"Ya, but he must have a lead because he wouldn't be living in this freaky town for nothing. He must have seen something that changed his mind." Lois spoke. "Or he is knows something big that would make him leave from working in Washington." Lois glanced over to see Clark gazing at her arm.
"What are you staring at Smallville." Lois asked.
Clark blushed then looked away. "Chloe mention that you have a strange…symbol on your shoulder."
"Great, I thought that was a secret not to mention I never thought she would mention it to you." Lois spoke.
"She was worried about you and she knows I have been studying…other languages. I just thought…"
"When did you start learning different languages?" Lois asked surprised.
"Ah…Just recently." He lied.
"Well Smallville, I'm not in the mood to show you my ghastly mark so you can make fun of me, and I'm not in the mood to be mocked today." Lois spoke.
"Lois I would never make fun of you." Clark spoke.
"Really." She looked at him suspiciously about to tell him to leave when she had a devious thought came to her mind. She could show him just too intimidated him again. In doing so he might blush like a apple or better yet get caught by his parents in a unexpected circumstance. After all this is her last day to tease farm boy. Why not provoke him to the fullest. She turned around closed her suit case and smiled at him.
"Fine I'll show you mine if you show me yours." She teased.
"Wh..what." Clark was starting to wander if he never should have asked her.
If only she had a camera the picture would of have been perfect." Lois thought. "Everyone that was there at your barn has some type of bizarre mark on them."
"You think I have one…I highly doubt…
"Smallville it's not like I'm asking you to see Clark Jr…not like I seen it before." She smirked.
"Wh…What?" when the hell did he do that. Must have been when Kal-el took over him and not to mention at the barn. Can his dignity be any scared then it already is.
Lois rolled her eyes and started to undo the first two buttons of her top.
Clark eyes widened. "Lois what are you doing?"
"Trying to show you the mark blush boy." She ignored his protest and grabbed his hand pulling down to sit on the bed.
"Lo..Lois that's ok…you don't have to show me." Clark spoke but it was too late. Lois already had the one sleeve off her shoulder showing her bare skin. Clark took a deep breath and without realizing it he gently touched the embedded mark on her soft skin. The mark was indeed Krypton but he had no idea why it would be on Lois. The symbol was in shaped of an S…It was the house of El symbol.
He was distracted as Lois gently took his hand in hers. "Smallville…Smallville…Clark."
"Huh…what?" Clark dazed out and stared at Lois noticing he still had his hand on the mark on her shoulder.
Lois never imagined she would be distracted by farm boy but the way he gently was massaging her shoulder was giving her the idea that he could be a great massager. Wait did she just think that. No it had to be the hormones talking. Her eyes widen as Clark was leaning closer for a kiss. Lois is surprised and is flabbergast at what to do when a knock on the door startles them.
"Young man I think we're going have a serious talk." Jonathan spoke standing outside the open door way with his arms crossed.
Clark quickly stood up blushing slightly while Lois smirked. It was way too fun to tease Clark sometimes.
"Dad…it's not what you think."
Lois quickly pulled her sleeve over her shoulder and chuckled. "I'm sorry Mr. Kent I had to tease your son one last time I was here…after all I had to get him back for that spider." Lois quickly grabbed her small suit case and walked out of the room with a smile on her face. Although her mind briefly went back on the fact they almost kissed. What was she thinking.
After Lois and General Lane left Clark was sitting at the kitchen table with his parents glaring at him. He wasn't sure if he should run or bluff his way out of this one.
"Nothing happened…I swear." Clark spoke wishing his parents would let it go. Besides that if it wasn't for Lois he wouldn't be in this situation which brings him to the fact he had to get her back somehow.
"It didn't look that way to me son." His father spoke.
Clark sighed and explained everything again but leaving out the part where he almost kissed Lois. He still couldn't believe it himself.
Jonathan did believe what his son said but there was something Clark was hiding. And the fact he could see the way his son looked at Lois. He was fallen for her and his boy didn't even know it. He sighs and decides that can be a conversation for another time.. There were a lot more problems than his son being a little too close to Lois. "Any news on who took your powers and why is there a Krypton mark on Lois." Jonathan asked.
Clark sighed. "Lana was possessed by a witch at the time and she has my powers. As for Lois. I'm not sure why she has a Krypton mark on her."
"Lana has your powers." Martha spoke surprised.
"Yes…I haven't said anything…but I think I know how to get it back." Clark asked.
"Now Clark just because you don't have your powers doesn't mean you can be a hero. Your human and could get hurt." Jonathan spoke.
"I know but I can't have Lana bare the burden of that much power. Besides all I need to do is get the spell book or the relic she had. It should reverse all of this and restore my powers."
"But do you know where it is?" Martha asked.
"No but I think my answers lie at the caves." Clark spoke.
"Clark you know Lex has been monitoring that cave. If he sees you there he might get suspicious." Jonathan asked.
"I'll be find dad, I promise." Clark spoke. "I'll see you guys later, I'm going to sleep."
Jonathan sighed as he watched his son go back upstairs. After everything that has happened he is kind of glad Lois is not around to anymore. He liked Lois but it seemed like the more they teased each other the more worried he was going to be if something happened. They were still young and he didn't want his son ruining his life by doing something he'll regret.
"I noticed that look on your face dear. Everything will be alright." Martha asked.
"Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like how this all ends?" Jonathan spoke.
"What do you mean?" Martha asked.
"I'm afraid whatever happens at that party that night is going to change our son forever."
"Do you know something?" Martha asked.
"No, I just have a feeling Jor-el is involved somehow especially with Lois having a krypton mark on her." He spoke.
"You don't' think Lois would tell her father would you." Martha asked.
"I don't think…but let's hope not because you never know what Sam would do to find the answers and you know who that would lead to." He spoke.
"But why would Jor-el Mark her…it doesn't make since." Martha asked.
"Maybe it's a way to warn Clark if he doesn't fulfill his destiny." Jonathan spoke. "It wouldn't be the first time he demanded or threaten anyone."
Martha sighs and places a hand on her husband's hand. "Don't worry Jonathan everything will be all right."
Jonathan hugs his wife and hopes that everything will turn out perfect for the sake of his son and family. "I hope your right for our son's sake.
-Let me know what you think
