A/N: Sorry about the long wait. A big thanks to everyone for their support and encouragement. I've decided to include Tobias and Chloe being a meteor freak, but I'm going to do it a little differently than the show.

Chapter 7

Amy walked up into the loft and found Clark in the same spot she'd left him two hours ago. The tall Kryptonian was staring at the invitation to Lex and Lana's wedding. She walked over and sat on the edge of the loft window. "You know, I may be fairly new here, but even I can see that you're still in love with her."

Clark set the small, embroidered piece of paper down and looked at his newly found sister. "That doesn't matter. She's marrying Lex."

"Maybe if she knew how you felt she would change her mind."

Clark stood up and walked over so he was standing next to her. "It's too late for that."

Amy stood up and looked into her brother's eyes. She was a little surprised at just how much pain she saw. "There's more going on here. Something more than the wedding."

"Lana's pregnant. With Lex's child."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

Clark turned and walked over to his couch. "I guess I'm a little worried that she's only marrying him because of the baby," he said, sitting down and picking up a tennis ball. He began to bounce it up and down. "I wish I could tell Lana about who Lex really is but…"

"You can't do that without revealing your secret." Amy finished for him, also sitting down. "Maybe things would work out better if you just told her. Lana's been around you for years. At the very least she has to suspect that you aren't completely normal."

"I don't think that would be a good idea. If Lex found out she knew my secret…" He trailed off, thinking of the last time he decided to reveal his alien heritage to Lana.

Amy put her hand on his arm to stop him from bouncing the ball. Each time he threw it down, he did so with increased strength. "Come on. Take your anger out on something other than the floor. Let's go to the Talon tomorrow and see Chloe. Maybe she'll have some new information about the Zoners."

Clark stood up and smiled. "Okay. Thanks for trying to cheer me up." As they walked to the house, the taller Kryptonian put an arm around his sister.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amy walked down the steps just as Clark walked into the Talon carrying a bag of Chinese food. "She's not here."

Clark shook his head in confusion. "Her car is here. Are you sure she's not in the shower or something?"

"I x-rayed the place. There's no one here."

"This isn't good."

The younger alien zoomed in front of her brother and put her hands on his chest to prevent him from running off. "Whoa. Hold on a minute before you start the search party. She probably went for a walk or something."

"I don't know. Something doesn't feel right. If she was going for a walk, she wouldn't have left the front door to the Talon unlocked."

Amy nodded, knowing he was right. "Let's not automatically jump to the worst case scenario. If she was abducted she probably tried to leave us a clue as to what happened. You go search around the neighborhood while I look around her apartment. I'm sure we'll find a rational, non-dangerous reason for this."

Clark shot off at superspeed and Amy walked back up the stairs. She grabbed the doorknob and twisted it until it snapped. As she slowly entered the apartment she mumbled to herself, "Guess I'm buying her a new door handle." Suddenly she clutched her stomach and dropped to the ground. As pain shot through her body she saw a chunk of Kryptonite lying on the floor near her. Gasping for breath she tried to crawl out of the room but found that she could barely lift her arms.

Fear crept up her spine. She realized that if Clark came too close and was subdued by the deadly meteor, they would be in serious trouble. Her fears were soon alleviated however, because Chloe appeared in the doorway.

"Amy!" The blonde quickly grabbed the chunk of Kryptonite and threw it to the other side of the room. She helped Amy to her feet and went to close the door to the apartment.

"Sorry. Clark and I were worried so I broke in to look for signs of a struggle or something like that."

Chloe looked shocked and a little angry. "What? That's a little paranoid, even for Clark. Last time I checked, I was allowed to go for a walk without asking permission or telling anyone."

"Chloe, we were supposed to meet you here to do research about the Phantom Zoners."

"Huh? No we weren't."

Amy looked at the short blonde with concern. "Clark called you last night and you said to be here at eight."

"No. No, I think I would remember that. I didn't get any phone calls last night. I worked on my column and went to bed. That's it."

Raising an eyebrow, the dark haired girl waved a hand toward the chunk of meteor rock sitting on the floor. "What about the Kryptonite? Expecting some alien burglars? I wouldn't think that you would leave your best friend's only weakness lying around."

Chloe opened her mouth to answer but nothing came out. "I… okay, this is starting to freak me out." She pulled out her cell phone and opened up the list of incoming calls. "Oh my god. You're right. Clark did call me. Why don't I remember?"

"Chloe!" Clark said from the doorway. "You're okay."

"I'm not so sure. Clark, I don't remember you calling me. I… I think I'm losing my mind or something."

Clark allowed Chloe to hug him tightly. Looking over the top of her head, he noticed a small business card sitting on the floor. He nodded his head towards it and Amy picked it up. "What does it say?"

"It's got some doctor's number on it. From Belle Reeve."

"Okay. I'm gonna go check this doctor out and see what's going on with him." They were interrupted by the sound of Chloe's cell phone.

She picked it up and looked at the caller id. "It's Oliver." She spoke with him for a couple minutes then hung up. "They need help. Oliver said to go to his place in Star City. He said it's a life or death situation."

Clark paced back and forth, debating internally. Finally he stopped and shook his head. "I can't go now. Not until we figure out what's going on with you."

"I'll stay." Amy said, taking the business card back from her brother.

"I don't know."

"Clark it's okay. I won't let anything happen to her."

Chloe let out an exasperated sigh. "I'm not completely helpless you know. Clark, you go help the guys. Amy and I will get to the bottom of this."

Clark nodded and sped off. The two young women sat down and Chloe opened up her laptop. She took the business card and typed for a few minutes. "Okay. We're into his files. Time to find out everything we can about Doctor Bethany."

Amy laughed and shook her head. "You completely lost me on that. I couldn't keep up with what you were doing and I read like, a hundred words a second."

"Well we all have our special abilities. Wow. This doctor has been responsible for releasing a ton of Belle Reeve patients over the past few months. It looks like all of them were meteor freaks. Of course, it's no surprise that they all happened to mysteriously vanish soon after their release."

"33.1." Amy said in agreement, hatred evident in her voice. "But how do we connect this guy to you? You're not a meteor freak."

Chloe sat back and thought about it. "Unless they're trying to use me to get to Clark. Lex probably suspects that Clark was affected by the meteors."

Amy leaned forward and pointed to a name. "Who's that?"

"Tobias Rice. He was in our graduating class. Hold on." She typed and brought up a new window. "Tobias was blinded in the second meteor shower. It says here that he's been a patient of Dr. Bethany. You know, come to think of it, I saw Tobias yesterday. He was here, in the Talon."

Amy stood up. "Does this place have security cameras?"

"I think so." Chloe said, catching on to her idea. "They should be stored on DVDs in the storage room downstairs."

The Kryptonian girl nodded and ran downstairs at superspeed. She reappeared barely two seconds later. "Here. Find where this guy shows up and then hit fast forward." When Chloe sent her a questioning look she shrugged. "There's no point in spending hours watching these."

A few minutes later, Chloe watched Amy's eyes narrow. "What? Did he do anything suspicious?"

"Are you sure this guy is really blind? Every time you walked past him he turned and looked at you."

Chloe closed her computer and stood up. "I think we should pay Tobias a visit. I've got his address."

Amy jumped up and looked at Chloe with a grin. "You should consider joining up with the Justice League. I bet you could rival Victor as a computer hacker."

When they got to Tobias' house they went up to the porch and rang the doorbell. Tobias opened the door and Amy saw a subtle change in his expression when his head pointed in Chloe's direction.

Chloe fed him some line about checking up on her old high school friends and they were let in. They weren't able to get any useful information so they said goodbye and walked to the door. Amy held a finger up to her lips and waved at the door. Chloe gave her a confused look but exited the house anyway. Amy cleared her throat to let Tobias know she was still there.

"Chloe's gone. But you probably knew that already didn't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Who are you anyways? I don't remember an Amy being in our class."

Amy walked up so she was standing directly in front of him. She waved her hand in front of his face and even acted like she was going to punch him. "You really can't see me can you?"

"Duh. I'm blind. If you're gonna stand there and make fun of my disability…"

"I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make fun of you. I'm just curious as to how a guy who is blind is able to track Chloe's movements. You did it here, and you did it at the Talon, right before her memory got messed up."

Tobias' tone become much more nervous than it had been. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"So how can you explain the fact that shortly after you became Dr. Bethany's patient, meteor freaks started getting transferred out of Belle Reeve?"

"Leave me alone."

"You can see them can't you? Meteor infected people? That's what Bethany has been using you for."

Tobias suddenly dropped into a chair and rested his forehead in his hands. "I thought he was going to be helping them. I didn't know anyone was going to get hurt."

Amy knelt down and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I believe you. Now I have to ask you a question. Why have you been looking directly at Chloe?"

"Because she's meteor infected."

"That's what I thought. Thank you for being honest with me. I promise I'll help you get away from Dr. Bethany so you don't have to do this anymore."

She stood up and started to leave when she heard the young man behind her rise. "He has me on a waiting list for a cornea transplant. That will get rid of this ability but as long as he needs me, I'll never be able to have the operation done."

"I'll see what I can do about that."

When they got back to the Talon, Chloe paced around anxiously. "So? What did you find out? You were silent the entire ride back here."

Amy put her hands in her jeans pockets. "Tobias has the ability to 'see' people who have been affected by the meteors."

Chloe absorbed this information and sank into a chair. "That means that I must be a meteor freak!"

"Chloe, we don't know that for sure. I'm gonna go to Belle Reeve and pay this Dr. Bethany a visit. Will you be okay by yourself for a little bit?"

"Yeah. I… I'll be fine."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amy tried to think quickly. She hadn't been able to get any answers from the doctor and he was about to walk away. That was when she saw the small computer he had sat down on the table to her right. She took a deep breath and blew it out, sending the stack of papers in Bethany's hands flying through the air. As he and the nurse scrambled around, the Kryptonian girl made a fast movement toward the laptop.

When Dr. Bethany stood up he looked at the girl in anger, even though he knew there was no way she could have caused the papers to scatter. He shook his head and reached for his laptop. "Hey! What did you do with my computer?"

Amy held her hands up. "I don't have it." The doctor scowled and walked away. Exiting through the opposite door, Amy reached under the sheet of a gurney and picked up the small computer

She took it back to Chloe and waited while the distressed blonde carefully went over ever file. After a while Chloe gasped and jumped out of her seat.

"What? What's wrong?"

"It's… this guy… on the news… he was run down behind the bowling alley. Witnesses said that it was at exactly five o'clock. This GPS shows dots all over town, and the one by the bowling alley is red and it says five pm right next to it." She sat back down and pointed at the screen. Two of the other green dots had turned red. "Look. There's a dot at the Talon. They've got me bugged or something."

Chloe jumped up again and Amy grabbed her by the shoulders. "Calm down. I'm not going to let them kill you."

Pacing around the room, Chloe was on the verge of tears. "I need you to x-ray me. I need to know what they put in me."

Amy suddenly felt embarrassed. "Um…"

"Come on. We're both women. Just do it."

"Okay." She looked at Chloe, then focused her eyes. "You're right. There's some kind of tracking device just below your right shoulder."

Chloe's breathing quickened. "Oh god. Oh my god. I don't want to die."

"It's okay. We'll get it out of you. I'll take you to the hospital."

"No." Chloe said, shaking her head. "It'll be too late. Look at the screen. There's only one green dot left. You have to get it out of me right now."

Amy didn't know what to do. "How am I supposed to do that? I'm not a fricken doctor!"

"How accurate is your heat vision?"

"Whoa! Hold on. I'm not going to burn you. Are you nuts?"

Chloe grabbed Amy's arms and choked back a sob. "Please? I don't want to die. Just get it out of me."

Amy bit her lip before nodding. "Okay. Hold onto my arms and don't move." Gritting her teeth, the nervous Kryptonian sent a thin line of heat into Chloe's chest.

"Agh! Ow!"

"Hold still!"

When she felt the heat blast being obstructed by something she stopped. She carefully reached her index finger and thumb forward and pinched hold of the tracking device. She felt Chloe's grip on her arms tighten as she slowly pulled the device out. Letting go, she looked at the computer screen and crushed the tracker. The green dot on the map turned red.

"There. Now they can't track you anymore."

Chloe let out a cry of relief and hugged Amy. "Thank you."

Amy bandaged up the wound and asked Chloe to see if she could get anything else off the computer. "If there's anything we can use to put this guy behind bars…"

After a few minutes Chloe gasped. "I think Dr. Bethany is going to kill Tobias!"

"What? Why?"

"I found a cryptic email and it has a time on it. It says seven o'clock."

The both looked at the clock. It read: 6:59. Amy disappeared, sending a pile of papers flying.

She threw herself in front of Tobias just as the blast was about to hit him. It bounced off of her and hit Dr. Bethany. She knelt down and checked his pulse. "He's dead." She stood up and took the oddly shaped gun. "Call 911 and say you think he might have had a heart attack. I'll be in touch soon about your operation. I have a friend who should be able to set things up for you."

A/N: Sorry it's so short. Let me know what you think. I know that I basically took the episode and replaced Clark with Amy, but I thought it would be a good way to have Chloe and her bond. The next chapter will be, drum roll please, Lex and Lana's wedding. So, as this chapter ends, I pose a few questions:

Why was there Kryptonite left in Chloe's apartment?

What happened with Clark and the rest of the Justice League?

Will I leave the wedding as the show had it, or will I change it to fit my own design?

Next chapter will reveal all of this.
