Chapter 4: Memory Swipe
"Owww..." Lois said as she rubbed the back of her head and opened her hazel eyes.
Lois looked around and saw that she was no longer in Lex's office. What she did see though was that she was in a creepy ally that had trash and muddy water puddles in it. As Lois looked around she saw that Jimmy was laying a few feet from her who was just getting up himself.
"What the hell happened?" Lois said aloud who was confused as she began to sit up slowly.
"I don't know, I mean the last thing that I remember is going to Luthorcorp..." Jimmy said as rubbed his head that had was hurting when he feel to the ground.
"Yeah...and then we entered Lex's office. I can't even remember what happened in there or anything." Lois said as she gave a confused look to Jimmy.
"Yeah, me neither. Weird, it's like our memory was swiped."
"Great! So the last thing either of us remembers is going into Lex's office. I mean, what if we found something? Obviously we did because we would of remembered! We need to find out what we found out!" Lois said as she got up real fast.
"Wait, Lois, you're not thinking of going back are you? I mean, look what just happened!" Jimmy told Lois.
"Jimmy, we were so close. If we just----" Lois began.
"Lois, are you okay?" Jimmy asked Lois who was looking dizzy.
"If we just try--" Lois began, but she couldn't finish because her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fainted.
"Lois!" Jimmy yelled as he barley caught Lois before she fell to the ground a second time that night.
---Later that night at Metropolis Hospital---
"Jimmy! What happened?" Chloe said as she and Clark came up to Jimmy who was sitting in the waiting area.
"I really don't know---" Jimmy began.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Clark asked irritated.
"Clark, let him finish." Chloe added.
"Me and Lois were at Luthor Corp. Lois wanted to get an interview with Lex, but he wasn't there. She instead of leaving, Lois said that we need to look through Lex's files. The last thing either of us remembered was being in Lex's office. We don't even remember if we even got to see the files on his computer. The next thing we know is that we are laying in this ally. We woke up, Lois was talking, we were trying to figure out what went wrong, but then she just fainted." Jimmy said as he took a breath.
"Is she okay?" Clark asked worried,
"I don't know C.K. I mean, it looks like we were injected with a shot. The doctors did a test on me, but I came through fine. I just don't know what happened." Jimmy said.
"It's okay Jimmy. I'm sure that everything is going to be okay." Chloe said a little unsure of herself.
"Jimmy!" Kara yelled as she came up to him and gave him a hug.
"Are you okay? Is Lois okay? What happened?" Kara tried to ask at the same time.
The three sat down and told Kara what happened. After they told Kara everything, a doctor came out.
"Which one of you are Miss. Lane's cousin?" The short doctor asked.
"I'm her cousin, Chloe. Is everything okay?" Chloe asked worried as she got up from her chair.
"She is doing well now. It seems what ever she was injected with that she had an allergic reaction to. It's lucky that Mr. Olsen brought her in when he did. We will however keep her over night for observation.
"You may go visit her now if you wish." The doctor said as he smiled and left.
"Thanks Jimmy for bringing her in so quickly." Chloe said as she hugged Jimmy.
"No problem. It sure did scare me though." Jimmy said.
"Yeah, I think it gave everyone a scare." Kara added.
"Clark, are you okay?" Kara asked her cousin who looked a little scared.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why don't you go and see how Lois is doing, Chloe?" Clark asked Chloe breaking from his thoughts.
"Okay, you guys gonna stay?" Chloe asked Jimmy and Kara.
"I've got to get back to the Planet to turn in these pictures I was suppose to turn in today." Jimmy said.
"Yeah, I'll think I'll go with you, Jimmy. I had a long day at the Talon. Who knew making coffee all day could wear you out? But tell Lois we said hi." Kara said.
"Okay, we will. Bye guys." Chloe said with a smile.
"Are you okay with Kara being with Jimmy?" Clark asked Chloe as Chloe headed to Lois's room after Jimmy and Kara left.
"Yeah, I am. I mean, me and Jimmy really never had that special thing going on. But him and Kara seem pretty happy together. I'm glad he has found somebody. Besides, I'm seeing Bart now." Chloe told Clark.
"Yeah, Bart did always have a thing for you." Clark said with a smile.
Chloe smiled. "Well here is her room, do you want to see her too?" Chloe asked.
"You see her first. I'll visit her after your done." Clark said.
"Okay." Chloe said as as she entered Lois's room as Clark decided to wait in the waiting room.
---In Lois's Room---
"Hey Chlo, how are you doing?" Lois asked Chloe as she sat up in bed.
"Shouldn't I be the one asking that question?" Chloe asked amused.
"Yeah, but it never hurts to ask." Lois asked with a smirk.
"So are you okay?"
"Mentally yes, physically no, I have a headache like a rock hit me in the head. But other than that, I feel great." Lois replied.
"Good, but Lois, you have to be more careful, I don't know what I would do if I would of lost you..." Chloe began.
Lois saw the look in Chloe's eye and gave her a hug.
"Don't worry Chloe, I'm not going anywhere. Besides who would push each other to become better reporters and annoy Clark?" Lois asked.
"Yeah, just promise me that you will be more careful because you never know with Lex." Chloe said to her cousin.
"It's not over with Lex."
"I know, but there are other ways of getting to the bottom, okay?"
"Okay." Lois said reluctantly.
"I'm going to get some coffee, I'll be back later. I think Clark wants to see you anyways." Chloe said as she got up from the chair.
xxxxx"Okay, at this point, I totally forgot about Clark. Okay, maybe I didn't totally forget about him, but hospitals with me and him only haven't gone well. I mean when I brought him in naked with amnesia, or the time he held my hand after me and Mrs. Kent's plane went down. Lets just say that hasn't gone well, which means that I usually get those stupid butterflies"xxxxx
After Chloe left, a few seconds later, Clark came into the room and took a seat where Chloe was sitting whenever she was talking to Lois.
"Hey Lois, how are you doing?" Clark asked sincerely.
"Well besides the headache I'm great." Lois answered.
"So..."
"So..."
"Look Lois, you have to be more careful. I mean, whatever you were injected with you had an allergic reaction to. What if Jimmy wasn't able to get you here in time?" Clark began.
"Look Clark, I've already had this little discussion with Chloe, and I don't need it again, okay? She told me that there was other ways to get to this whole Lex thing without putting myself into too much danger." Lois told Clark.
"I'm just glad that you're alright. I mean can you imagine a world without Lois Lane?" Clark asked Lois as he put his hand on here hand.
xxxxx"Whoa, okay. If not saying 'a world without Lois Lane' wasn't enough to make me get butterflies, the hand thing sure did."xxxxx
"I mean who would annoy me? Besides Chloe would be a wreck if she lost you." Clark said as he realized of what he said as the pair quickly removed their hands from each other.
"Yeah---" Lois answered.
"Look Lois, I hope that you feel better." Clark said as he saw Chloe almost coming in.
"Yeah, well, hopefully I'm out of here tomorrow." Lois said.
