My Lucky Day
So I have literally just finished this chapter, hopefully it's up to standards. Just want to say that enthusiasm is appreciated and keeps this story going. Also, I'm not sure I mentioned this but I've never been a fast writer so just a fair warning. I do intend to keep this story going.
Lex Luthor closed his phone with a frustrated sigh. As much as he loved Smallville, he couldn't help but wonder how long before living in the small town got him killed. He reckoned maybe a year, two if he was lucky.
But as of that moment his life was not the concern but rather the lives of all who came into contact with the nicodemus flower. It wasn't causing mass hysteria at the moment as their were only two victims, Jonathan Kent and James Beel. But he knew that more victims would come, and it was up to him and Dr Hamilton to find the cure. He went to the counter at the Talon and ordered his usual.
The last he'd hear from Hamilton he'd been tracking rumours of a Native American manuscript that apparently held the recipe for a cure. He only hoped that it was more than a rumour.
On the counter at The Talon Nell Potter took the orders of the customers with a smile that looked sincere, but on the inside she hated the fact that Lana had opened The Talon where she had to do long shifts on the weekdays. It wasn't that she wasn't proud of her niece, in fact she was glad Lana had desplayed the courage to stand up to a man as powerful as Lex Luther. She only wished she'd have thought ahead on staff instead of immediately make the assumption that she would do the work for her. In all honesty Nell would rather have been working back in her flower shop.
But how could I say no to Lana when she's my only niece,Nell thought. Oh well, at least I'm getting paid for this.
As she continued working she almost didn't notice two deputies walk into the Talon with stone faces that meant Business. She briefly wondered what was eating at their minds. She hadn't expected them to go directly to her.
"Can I help you boys with something?" She asked, curiosity seeping into her pleasant tone.
"Yes Miss Potter you can," he looked at his partner who looked the other way awkwardly. She frowned, not use to this type behaviour unless someone had...died. She pushed the thought away, hopping she was wrong." It's regarding your niece... She's in the hospital."
Nell's eyes widened, her hand went to her mouth. She swallowed and took a deep breath, afraid to ask the question." How..how bad is she?"
"Lana's fine ma'm." Nell breathed a sigh of relief, whilst Lex moved a little closer to hear about his friends condition. "However...there are a few things the doctors want to go over with you."
"Wha-what kind of things." She asked, with great worry for her niece. Lex,aswell, was curious but had a very good theory. A theory he wished to be wrong.

Martha Kent sat by her husbands bedside, fighting back the tears that longed to escape. Yet she did not cry, for she was a strong women and had been through worse. But every second her facade fell ever slightly since the news of James Beels death. The Doctor estimated that without a cure, Jonathan would follow soon behind him. She could only hope he was wrong. And if he wasn't, Jonathan Kent was a fighter. He wouldn't go without giving his all.
Martha Kent moved and then whispered in his ear," For for us Jonathon. Fight for me and Clark. And fight for yourself."
She wasn't sure if he had heard, but she could have swore she saw the corner of his mouth twitch. She sighed, and went to get a cup of coffee. As she did, she heard voices yelling down the end of the corridor and turned to see a young girl strapped in a gurney.
Oh god, please not another, she thought with empathy, isn't one death too much?
Curiosity peaked, she moved closer to see a young boy with his back to her talking to one of the medics. The medic nodded to whatever he was saying, and walked off to talk to one of the doctors. The boy turned and she saw it was not just any boy, it was Clark!
"Clark?" She called out in confusion. She understood his fondness to Lana but that would not give him a reason to leave in the middle of school to go with her to the hospital. He turned and saw his adoptive mother, and could not resist the temptation to seek the comforting hug of a parent.
Martha pulled back and looked into Clarks eyes." Clark, what's wrong with Lana and why are you here in school hours?"
Clark took a shaky breath. It was then she realized just how much he cared for the brunette." La-Lana and I were...one se-second she was fine and the next she was on the ground!" He purposefully ignored the part where he had intercourse with her.That could wait till later.
Martha brought her hand to her forehead with frustration. "Oh God, first Beel then Jonathon and now Lana? Three different cases and we don't know jack squat about what's causing this."
"Well, at least none of them have died so far."
Martha bit her lip, something Clark noticed people did when they had something to sai, but didn't feel like saying. "What is it Mom?"
She looked into her son's eyes." Beel died just over an hour ago Clark." Clark took a sharp intake of breath.
"Dad?"
"So far fine, but I don't think he'll live much longer without a cure."
The young alien was so shocked, he had to grab a seat to steady himself. His Farther gone...it was like saying that the sun would shine no more. It was something he would not allow to happen,not yet at least. He looked into his mothers eyes with determination." I'm going to find Chloe, she might be able to help. But promise me if he...inform me if there's a change in his or Lana's conditions."
She nodded her head." I promise Clark. Now go out and do what you do best." She smiled slightly and his quizzical look. "Save lives."
He smiled and then quickly set off to find his friend Chloe, and save his loved ones.

Nell rushed like a lion after it's pray through the doors in the hospital. Since news of her nieces condition, she'd barely breathed at all. At the reception she quickly asked for Lana's room and once told bolted faster than she would have thought she could. She did not notice Lex not to far behind her.
Once she reached her nieces room, she took a deep breath and then entered. At first glance, it looked as though she was sleeping, but Nell knew it was not so. Lana was in a coma, and somehow Nell felt responsible for it. It was her job to care for her after her mother and father past.Yeah great job Nell, she thought bitterly barely holding back the tears.
"Miss Potter?" She turned to see a middle aged doctor standing in the doorway. A clipboard in hand." I'm Dr Jones, I'm handling your nieces case."
"How is she Doc?" She asked tonelessly, both failing to notice Lex leaning on the right hand side of the doorway.
"Well, as you can see she's fallen into a comma same as the others administered." He took a deep breathe." However her condition is not exactly the same as the others."
"What do you mean not the same?" She asked, frowning.
"Miss Potter, your niece is pregnant." THAT, neither had expected. Lex nearly chocked on thin air.
"Pr-pregnant?!" She looked at her niece then back at the doctor." Are you positive."
One hundred percent ma'am." She sank onto a chair beside Lana's bed.
Nell felt as though her heart had skipped a beat.
"I-I think-" she took a deep breath trying to regain her composure." I think I need to sit down."
Lex meanwhile was halfway to the door, mobile in hand, looking furious as the number he dialled went to voicemail." Hamilton, my office. Things have changed. I need that cure ASAP. Call me when you get this." He wasn't aware that as he left, a certain farm boy had heard everything he'd said and was tailing him.
In Hamilton's office, Peter and Chloe looked at the phone as Lex's voice spoke with furry. Pete grinned, gripping the handgun tightly and pointing it at his friend.
"Well isn't it my lucky day."

I'll update as soon as can, though I'm not sure when that will be. R&R.
