Authors note: I decided to have this take place in season 8, I was originally going to have it be season 4 or 5. Chapter 3 will be from Chloe's perspective.

"How do I know I can trust you?" Clark asked Sky.

Sky shrugged. "If you trust me, fine. If you don't, I'm cool with that. But why do you ask?"

"I haven't had much luck with kryptonians lately." Clark told him

"Let me guess, followers of Zod?" Sky asked. "Of course they'd be evil, Zod himself was."

"Zod is dead. If you were a follower, you'd have no one to follow."

"Well, I'm not ok? And Zod is really dead? He can revive himself with a vessel."

"He's already tried. I killed him."

"Really? How did that happen?"

"I don't want to talk about it. Look, you can come with me to Metropolis for awhile and stay with me at home, but don't call me Kal-El while I'm there. It's Clark."

"Clark? Very well. Though I don't know why you don't just use your real name."

'Clark is my real name. My real parents gave it to me."

"No, Jor-El and Lara are your real parents."

"They didn't raise me, my parents on Earth did. Jor-El killed my father."

"I'm sorry. But I'm sure there must have been a good reason."

Clark didn't say anymore but just glared at Sky. "Let's go."

"Clark! I'm glad I found you! There's a thief going around stealing from various stores." Chloe said as she caught Clark heading back to the Daily Planet. She noticed Sky. "Who's this?"

"A kryptonian like me. He's said he worked for Jor-El." Clark said.

"Really ah. Can we trust him?"

Sky rolled his eyes. "Again with the whole trust thing, look, I'm not evil ok!"

"Sorry, besides Clark's cousin, every krypton we've come across has been evil."

"Kara? She was here? How is she?"

"You knew Kara?' Clark asked.

"Of course."

"We're not sure where she is."

"Oh."

"What were saying about the thief?" Clark asked Chloe, changing the subject, Sky didn't like being ignored but he waited patiently while they were talking.

"They jam the cameras before they steal anything."

"Do you think this person might be meteor infected?"

"I don't know, to tell you the truth. They leave no trace of ever being there, expect for some cash they stole and a few missing candy bars. Almost like they were testing out the security system."

"Or just stealing for fun. It doesn't sound like it'd be Bart, he'd just run in and steal." Clark told Chloe.

"Could I help?" Sky asked Chloe.

Chloe smiled, at least Sky seemed like a nice person, she still didn't know what to think of him though since he worked for Jor-El. She was just going to have to take the chance.

"Yeah, I guess you could help." She told him.

"Just be careful on how you use your powers Sky, nobody except for Chloe knows about us."

"Really? So I can't use my powers all the time? But that's no fun."

"I know, but if you get caught, you could get experimented on."

"Huh?"

"Look, just make sure nobody sees you using your powers."

"Ok, ok. Fine. I don't see what your problem is."

"Clark just likes to be extra careful." Chloe said.

"We'll ask around to see if anybody knows about this new thief. Maybe there were some witnesses." Clark told Chloe.

"Alright. I'll check to see which stores have been stolen from and see if there is a pattern. Good luck."

"You too."
