DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING!!

Chapter six

Kent Farm

Lois, for once didn't ponder everyone with questions. She began helping Chloe with trying to arouse Smallville. Piper was the first one to speak. "Can we trust her?" She asked Martha and Chloe pointblank. Chloe nodded her head. "Yes, you can. Lois is my cousin and she won't say a thing, will you Lois? You have to promise me the way we used to when we were kids. The blood oath." Chloe said to Lois, staring at her straight in the eyes. "Chloe, I'm not saying a word. That I can promise you Chloe. We can still do the blood oath if we still need to." Lois said without missing a beat. Chloe smiled at her in appreciation knowing she meant. "Smallville's not waking up too soon." Lois said as she got up to get Chloe a washcloth for Clark. "He's had a big shock, Lois. We'll explain everything when he's conscious." Chloe explained as she continued to lovingly massage Clark's temples.

Piper nodded at Chloe and Lois and reassessed her question towards her mother and grandmother. "Is Prue alive or dead? What in hell is going on?" She demanded. Lois returned with the warm damp washcloth and handed it to Chloe just in time to hear that question. She was even more dumbfounded then before.

Penny sighed for she knew that this day would come. Pattie had warned her against the idea of letting the sisters believe she was dead. "Prue is alive in the astral plane. Young Kal-el is right. Or rather, Clark is right. The source and Shax put her there indeed but now apparently something is keeping her there since, with Paige's help, you defeated Shax."

Before Penny could finish her explanation, swirling lights appeared before everyone and a young man stepped out of them. He looked worried and a lot like Clark but different. Chloe figured it must be the tanned skin and the dark hair since that was all they had in common. Piper broke the silence and greeted the young man warmly. "Chris, what brings you here?" "Chris?" Chloe asked in confusion. Isn't baby Chris upstairs?"

The sisters laughed and Paige decided to explain this time. "This is Chris from the future. He's obviously here again to change things. What's going on?" She asked. Chris gave a nervous chuckle at that. "Um, I'm afraid I may have changed things too much." Chris said not looking his mother and father in the eyes. "Meaning?" Piper asked her son. "Meaning, that the last time I was here I didn't know of Kal-el, Clark's, existence and now the new source does and since he failed in corrupting Wyatt he wants to try and…." He trailed off, not able to finish. "To corrupt Clark." Pattie finished gasping for breath, afraid for her son. "No, that's why I hid him took him to Krypton so that the source and my world of magic wouldn't find him." Pattie said in a small voice.

"And that won't happen." Paige said firmly. "Clark is a good man. He's also strong and good. I could sense that when we watched him fight Bazzaro Clark." She added. "I have to stay and make sure Clark's okay and the source doesn't get near him." Future Chris intercepted into the conversation.

Clark opened his eyes and looked up at the people in the room only to pass back out again. Chloe sighed and pushed his hair out of his eyes. "I think this was a bit too much. You should have warned him before you just up and called the spirits of your mom and grandmother." She chastised the sisters as she tried to coax Clark out of his slumber once more.

Piper knew she was right and sighed. What else can go wrong when we're not supposed to have to deal with this anymore? A new source was not part of the package when we fought that last battle and got Leo back. Piper wondered to herself as she watched Chloe, Martha, and Lois try to get Clark to wake up.

Penny turned to Piper and finished explaining what she had started before. "When Prue's spirit didn't come and join ours like she was supposed to, I got suspicious. When I figured it out, I thought she would be restored when you destroyed Shax but she wasn't. I don't know why." Penny said as she stared at Piper. "I do." Phoebe said. "Clark said that Prue told him that she's in the astral plane and that the new source has her body. She said we had to reunite her body with her soul and then she would be free with us once again. How much time do we have to find her body?" Phoebe asked, demanding to know for her sister's sake as well as her own.

Penny sighed. "That I don't know. I wish I did." She answered truthfully. Clark finally began to arouse and slowly sit up with Chloe's help. He let himself be pulled back against her as his vision began to clear up and he focused on who was in the room.

"Clark, don't pass out again." Chloe quietly begged him. Clark took a deep breath and nodded his head to let her know that he was alright.

"Yeah, Smallville, you've been out for awhile, twice." A new voice sounded causing Clark's eyes to show panic as he realized who it belonged to. "And don't worry, Smallville, anything I learn about you here stays here. I guarantee you that." Lois assured him quietly.

That did make Clark breathe a little easier but the sick feeling still came to him in a flash when he focused upon the spirit of his biological mother. He felt Chloe's arms tighten around him and his mother's hand on his shoulder in support. "Why? Wasn't I good enough for you?" He asked in a small little boy voice, the questions directed at his biological mother's spirit. Martha's eyes tears up as she heard the scared raw emotion in her son's voice and saw the little boy look on his face as he waited, apprehensively for his answer.

So far, she was able to keep her identity, that she wasn't a student there, from the others.
