It's been a unique week for Clark. First his parents are disappointed in him. He was offered a part time job working for the mayor in person by the deputy mayor at night but he turned it down saying he was needed more during patrolling where he could actually help people instead of answering phones. He started going on patrol with Buffy but couldn't help but feel she didn't want him there so he switched and went out with Faith. He was amazed at how skilled the two slayers were at their job but quickly found out Faith loves slaying a lot more than Buffy when she yelled at him for burning all the vampires before she could fight one. Lessons with Giles were easy enough since he's already read everything in the library and he sleeps like a baby with the blue rock Dr. Swann gave him. Saturday morning he came down and saw his parents were watching the news.

"In news today the business world lost a leader as former Luthorcorp CEO Lionel Luthor has died today losing his fight to a rare liver disease. Although Luthor was convicted for the murder of his parents our thoughts and prayers go out to his son Lex. For MNN this is Toby Raines."

Clark was confused he didn't know what to say. None of the Kents did.

Clark started while going to the phone. "I guess it's over."

"Have you talked to Lex at all?" Jonathon asked.

"No, not since the nicodemus candy." Clark answered waiting for the phone.

The Kents waited for Clark to finish the phone call "He asked not to be disturbed." Clark says as he hangs up.

Martha puts her hand on his shoulder. "Clark there is nothing you can do now unless Lex wants to talk to you. Why don't you try to go out with your friends? It will help take your mind off things."

Clark left and Jonathon and Martha had their own talk. They agreed Lionel brought it on himself and he reaped what he sowed.


His mom was right as she usually was Clark was at the Espresso pump with everyone except Giles obviously. Today they were exchanging war stories or any other story they could get their hands on. Faith was asking the questions she never got answered.

"So did you really use a rocket launcher B?" Faith asked.

Buffy shrugged like it was nothing. "Yes, Xander realized things haven't been forged for years and gave me one of the best birthday presents ever and I blew the judge to bits."

"Well Xan when my birthday comes along you know what you can get me." Faith teased.

"I barely trust Buff with it Faith." Xander said

"Hey" Buffy objected. "I've only used it once and I hit him didn't I."

The gang shared a laugh at Buffy's expense and Faith started with the next question. "Everyone knows the alligator vamp was my toughest kill. How about you two?" Faith asked Clark and Buffy.

This one was easy for Buffy but technically Angel isn't dead. "The Master got a nice chunk of missing neck."

Faith nods figuring that would be the answer since that and Kendra's death is how she became a slayer in the first place. "How about you CK?"

"Not a kill but Jeremiah" Clark answered.

Faith smiled it was nice seeing Clark open up he was so secretive until they caught him. "Take it Jeremiah was a vamp."

"No"

"Demon" Buffy offered.

"No"

Willow thinks she's got it. "Aha he was one of those meteor mutants" She says with certainty.

"No, he was a teacher's assistant." Clark said.

"What did he do fail you for a class you wouldn't say toughest kill without a good reason?" Xander asked.

"He was the toughest challenge. I didn't kill him." Clark started to explain. "He found a knife that gave him all of my abilities but having my abilities drove him mad. He nearly killed me with it when he stabbed me. I bled all over the place. I healed up for round 2 and I got the knife away from him. He's in a coma likely permanent. My abilities were just too much for the human body."

Faith was intrigued. "So this knife-"

Buffy rolled her eyes. "Were you even listening?"

"We're slayers B." Faith defended herself. "With how we heal maybe that weapon was meant for us in case CK went rogue. Not that you ever would you overgrown boyscout. No offense"

"I'm deeply hurt." Clark joked. "The knife is gone anyway Faith it disintegrated into dust."

Faith shrugged "It was just too good to last."

Cordelia decided to lighten the mood. "OK new question because this is getting boring. How about embarrassing stories Clark anything you want to keep hidden."

Clark smiled. "Yes, and they will stay hidden."

"Oh come on CK." Faith said encouraging him. "We've all done things we're embarrassed by."

"Yeah surely you must have tipped a cow or two." Xander added.

"Ask Smallville about the time we met. That's a good one."

Clark's eyes lit up as he turned around, it can't be her. She's in Smallville. Clark turned around and there she is bane of his existence Lois Lane. Thankfully she didn't come alone Clark gained a smile seeing two more friends from Smallville Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang. Clark is up and to them as fast as he can without drawing attention. Chloe jumps him with a hug. They talk all the time on the phone but she misses seeing him in person. Clark takes the much quicker hand shake with Lana and Lois.

Clark was overjoyed if talking with his new friends hadn't already put him in a good mood this surprise definitely did it. "So what brings you guys to Sunnydale?"

"Lex's birthday present" Chloe answered. "He offered us a private ride on the Luthorcorp jet. And thank you for the typewriter by the way."

"Naturally Chloe uses an all expense paid trip to check up on you." Lois finished.

"You're welcome Chloe. How about you Lana what brings you out here?" Clark asked she should be in Paris by now he thought to himself.

"Vacation" Lana answered. "Someone turned me into the town pariah when they found out I was dating a football coach."

"We think it was Dawn." Chloe added.

Clark could definitely see Dawn Stiles doing something like this. She never liked Lana or Chloe for that matter. "So is Lex with you guys."

"No" Lana answered. "After everything with his father he has his hands full at the moment."

Clark nodded in understanding and saw the Scooby gang coming his way. He sees Faith muttering so he used his super hearing and finds out she's asking if they know. He nods his head no as they come over.

"So Clark who are these people that have you all excited?" Buffy asked.

Clark smiled "These are my friends from Smallville…and Lois Lane."

Lois shoots Clark a not amused look. "Very Funny Smallville, I didn't realize California came with a sense of humor."

Clark laughs and continues the introductions. "And these two are Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang."

The gears start spinning in Buffy's head and it hits her. "Chloe, brilliant journalist and computer genius Chloe" Buffy asked Clark.

Chloe smirked knowing she now owns Clark. "Brilliant journalist huh" She pulls out her cell phone and hits record. "Say it again."

Clark bent down to her phone in a matter to mock her height and said. "Chloe Sullivan is a brilliant journalist."

"Who saved all our lives." Buffy added.

Chloe smiled this usually goes the other way around. "I saved everyone even Clark."

Clark rolled his eyes he's never hearing the end of this. "Even me, thanks for the CDs if I didn't say it before."

"You're welcome." Chloe said.

After that Clark made the introductions. Everyone seemed to get along fine which worked out because Clark had to get some distance to take a call from home. The only thing his mom said was that it was urgent to get back. He goes back to the table and likes seeing all his friends getting along.

"I have a bit of a problem back home do you guys want to come visit?" Clark asked the three from Smallville.

"No that's alright I want to get to know these guys." Lana said.

"Me and Willow are talking trade secrets." Chloe answered.

"We'll stop by later." Lois said.


In a blur Clark was back to his house. When he got there Jonathon and Martha was waiting for him. They explained that Lex called looking for him sounding rattled and that they think he might know his secret. Clark always wondered if Lionel knew and maybe now Lex did. Clark did the only thing he could do at this point. He picked up the phone and called Lex with Jonathon listening in from the kitchen phone.

"Hello"

"Lex it's Clark my parents said you called."

"Yes, this might sound strange but have you seen the girls lately."

Clark smiled. "Yeah they surprised me earlier you could have told me you were doing that."

"You mean they're in Sunnydale?" Lex asked.

"Yeah they surprised me with a visit." Clark answered.

"Alright Clark listen to me the girls are not themselves right now you have to stay away from them."

Clark was surprised when he heard panic in Lex's voice. "What do you mean?"

"I don't know how to explain it to you it sounds crazy." Lex said.

"Lex I was raised in Smallville." Clark said while thinking to himself about how he also lives on the mouth of hell according to Giles. "Try me."

"Lana, Chloe and Lois are all possessed by eighteenth century witches." Lex said.

"How do you know?" Clark asked.

"I watched them kill my father on security footage with their magic they bent the bars in his cell and threw him into them." Lex said.

"But I saw the news." Clark said. "They said your dad died of his liver disease."

"I paid the right people off and had all the tapes destroyed. If the girls were arrested I don't think we were possessed by evil witches would hold up in court."

"How do I stop them?" Clark asked.

"According to Lana's new boyfriend this all started when Lana touched a book so we think."

"Destroy the book and the witch goes away." Clark cuts him off and smiles since that was something he learned from Giles.

"I see you still have a sharp mind Clark. Why don't you wait until I can get a security team there before you play lone ranger Clark?"

"I can't." Clark answered. "I left them with friends."

"Clark be careful. They're not your run of th mill meteor freaks." Lex knows it's impossible to stop him now.

"I will. Goodbye Lex"

"Goodbye Clark"

Clark hangs up the phone and before he can run out he is cut off by his father. "Where are you going Clark?"

"I have to find the girls." Clark answered.

"You mean to fight the witches with magical powers." Jonathon said hearing the whole conversation.

"Technically I just have to burn a book." Clark corrected him.

Martha was in shock. "Clark this isn't like the meteor infected or vampires they have magic powers which means they can hurt you."

"I know what I'm up against." Clark defended himself he has no intention of being smacked around by magic again.

Jonathon grabbed him. "They already killed Lionel Clark. I won't let you be victim number two."

Clark moved his dad's hand thankful he didn't put up more of a fight. "It's Lana, Chloe and Lois I have to do this."

His parents nodded in understanding before letting him go. They wished he didn't but they knew this was who their son was.


In a blur Clark was back to the espresso pump and to his horror the three were gone. Not just Lois, Chloe and Lana but so were Faith, Buffy, and Willow. What are they up to? He looks over and sees Xander, Cordy, and Oz he walks over to them.

"So where did everyone go?" Clark asked.

"They all went to the mall." Xander answered.

Clark turned to Cordelia. "And you didn't want to go?"

Cordelia thinks it over and it's weird. "You're right I'd never blow off a trip to the mall. Your friends are evil that Lois never sat right with me."

"They're not evil just possessed." Clark defended them.

"They were on the hellmouth for 45 minutes that has to be some kind of record." Xander joked.

"They were possessed before they came to Sunnydale." Clark said.

"Why would they want Willow?" Oz asked.

"I don't know it might be a witch thing since that's what possessing them." Clark answered. "I just hope I can find them before I find out." Clark runs to the alleys and disappears in a blur.

"No Clark we don't want to help or anything it's only my best friends and new slayer." Xander said to himself.


Clark moved through Sunnydale with impressive speeds listening for the girls. He hopes that there is not some magic jamming it. To his surprise he finds them…at the mall parking lot. He thought for sure they would take them somewhere else. He stops at the Sunnydale three.

"Faith, Willow, Buffy are you guys ok." Clark asked.

"Five by five CK."

Willow smiled. "Your friends are nice why would we not be OK."

"They're possessed by witches." Clark answered. "Have they done anything to you?"

"Not yet"

Clark turns to the Smallville three and sees their eyes. They look like his friends but they're definitely not them. Faith and Buffy recognize the look in the girls' eyes and enter a fighting stance.

"Why did you come to Sunnydale?" Clark asked.

Isabelle smiled not having to pretend to be the pink princess anymore. "We came for you. Lionel Luthor confided in us you might have what we're looking for before he ran out of breath. The witch and the slayers were a surprise."

"Surprise for what?" Buffy asked.

Isabelle smiled taking out a black rock which Clark instantly identified as a stone of power. Clark went to grab it but the witch in Lois moved her hand and telekinetically slammed Clark into a truck stunning him. Buffy and Faith rushed the trio. Isabelle and her friends stick their fingers out and chant in unison. "transfero nostrum animus"

"No" Clark shouts trying to get to his feet knowing what's about to happen since they said transfer our souls. The stone activates and energy leaves Chloe and enters Buffy, the process repeats itself as energy exits Lois and enters Faith, and finally energy exits Lana and enters Willow.

Clark was watching the girls adapt to their new bodies. Buffy had a repulsed look on her face. Faith looked like she was measuring her chest comparing it to Lois. Before he could see anymore he was grabbed by Willow.

Isabelle started. "I saw your face when I pulled out the stone you recognized it. Now where are the other two?"

Clark just nods no.

Isabelle smirked. "You're not that bright are you Clark."

"Says the witch who passed up two slayers." Clark responded.

Isabelle's hand glowed blue and she hit Clark with an open palm sending him back into the truck hard enough for him to cough up blood. "This vessel practically bathes in magic it has power a slayer can only dream of."

Clark catches her monologing and knocks her down with his Superbreath. The two slayers walk over and help her up and see people coming out of the mall. Isabelle flashes him one last smile. "Till next time handsome." The stone goes from Lana's hand to Willow's as the three disappear in pink light and Clark recovers under the sun. He starts waking up the Smallville girls hoping that he can.


The three witches reappear inside a graveyard. Isabelle starts first noticing their behavior.

"Brianna, Madeline what is it?" Isabelle asks.

"Not a thing" Brianna/Faith answered. "I have superhuman strength and look at these." She says pointing to her breast and smacking herself in her form fitting leather clad ass.

Isabelle rolled her eyes. "Yes it's a very nice vessel." She turns to Madeline. "What's wrong?"

Buffy/Madeline looked at her with an angry glare. "You put me in a necrophiliac."

Isabelle maneuvered around Willow's memory and found out she did. "My apologies but if it makes you feel any better my vessel was considering bestiality while having an affair with someone far below her."

Madeline shrugged "A little bit"

"We need to meet Clark Kent again." Brianna says.

"He's aware you are not truly Faith." Madeline reminds her going through Buffy's memories.

"He has one of the stones of power." Brianna countered.

Isabelle let out a smile. "Are you certain."

Brianna smiled. "Yes my vessel saw it in his pocket but she doesn't know where he keeps it."

"He'll tell us given the right incentive." Isabelle said.
