"Mom?" Lex had given Clark her cell phone to use.
"Clark honey, where are you? We've been waiting here worried sick," Martha sounded completely distressed over the phone.
"I'm on my way to Lex's house," Clark subtly looked up at Lex who was busy questioning the paramedics.
"Lex, why? What about Dana, where is she? Is she okay?"
"Dana's hurt but I'm getting help," he paused anxiously. "Lex is helping her."
"How does Lex know, what does he know? Clark?" Just then his father grabbed the phone.
"Clark, you listen to me, now I don't know how much Lex knows about any of what's going on here but you be careful. Don't tell him anything he doesn't need to know all right? Nothing that could lead back to you, we don't know what he's planning." Jonathan tried to be as stern and concerned as possible.
"We'll meet you there," his mother finished and hung up the phone quickly. Clark pushed the 'Énd' button on the phone, closed it and put it back into his pocket.
When they reached the mansion, Lex had Dana moved into an already prepared room. There were monitors and charts and in the corner, a computer diagram of Lex's car crash and how Clark had saved him. Some of these things he had walked in on before. Clark knew that this room had already been there, it held far too much to be put together in such a short time.
Hurriedly, the doctors hooked Dana up to all sorts of monitors and machines. He noticed that Lex was always no more than three feet away from Dana at any time, as if he was waiting for something to happen.
Stepping next to the bed, one of the doctors pulled out an empty syringe and was about to stick it into Dana's arm.
"Wait!" Clark stopped her before it touched her skin, "don't." Lex looked puzzled at Clark.
"Clark, let them do their job, we have to find out what's wrong with her," he shook his head.
"We need to get a look at her blood work, see what the problem is," the doctor continued and drew the blood from Dana's arm. Clark knew what the problem was and he had no idea how he was going to get her back to the farm. When Lex arrived he couldn't just take her home. He had to do something.
"Lex," Clark called him over just feet from the bed. He looked up at Clark then back at Dana reluctantly before joining him.
"What is it Clark," Lex asked impatiently.
"Lex, she wouldn't want to be in here, she hates these lab things."
"Listen Clark, we need to know what's wrong with her, and you didn't want her to go to the hospital. I respected your wishes and I brought her here. I was her guardian and legally I still am which means she's staying here and I'm going to take care of her. I can't risk hurting her any further by moving her. If you thought for a second, you'd realize that." Lex stared Clark down then went back to Dana's side.
He was driven by something other than his caring for Dana. Clark didn't want to think that Lex would keep her here just to do tests and find out about her.
Lex stood over Dana, resting his hands on the bed where she lay. He watched her carefully, waiting fort anything out of the ordinary to happen. Clark stood anxiously behind, trying to think of someway of getting Dana out of there.
Just then, Dana's hand rested itself on Lex's and she opened her eyes.
"Lex," Dana whispered hoarsely up to him. Lex immediately leaned over to hear her better. Clarke rushed over to the other side of the bed while the doctors took readings.
"Dana it's okay, you're not in a hospital, you're in my mansion."
"Clark, where's Clark?" She closed her eyes again momentarily.
"I'm right here Dana," Clark made his way past the doctors and over to her side, taking her other free hand in his. Turning her head, she looked over at him and placed her other hand on his, letting go of Lex. She closed her eyes again feeling the heavy weight of gravity on her chest.
"Dana?" Lex whispered down at her.
"Lex, you have to let me go, I can't stay here."
"But Dana I," Lex tried to protest but she cut him off again.
"Lex, if I stay here I'll die, you have to let me go."
"Dana, I'm still your legal guardian, and…"
"I'll tell you what you want to know Lex, but only if you let Clark take me out of here. Only if you give me your word that you won't have us followed."
"Dana!" Clark was shocked and worried.
"Please Lex," Dana put one of her hands back on his, "please do this for me, don't let me die," a tear ran down her face as she pleaded for her freedom. Lex looked up at Clark then back down at Dana. She watched him as he pondered for a moment, seeing the thoughts race through his head.
Clark squeezed Dana's hand shaking his head subtly at her.
"Fine," Lex agreed after seeing Clark's hesitation. "I promise that you won't be followed, I give you my word," Lex smiled down at Dana who tried to do the same.
"Clark," Dana reached up to him. Putting her arms around his neck, he picked her up all the while keeping a watchful eye on Lex.
"Do you need a car or something?" Lex offered as Clark made his way towards the door with Dana wrapped up in his arms.
"No," Clark let out hastily, "we'll be fine."
"How will you get to where you need to go?"
"My parents are on their way, they're meeting us at the gates, just outside."
"But Clark…"
"Lex," Clark stopped sternly, "we'll be fine." Lex watched as Clark carried Dana out of the front door and past the front gates of the mansion."
"Sir," one of Lex's men approached him. Lex stared out at the driveway and yard, then turned around to face him. "Do you want us to follow?"
"No," he looked over at the now empty bed. "I made a deal and I'm going to honour it."
"Mr. Luthor," one of the doctors came rushing up to Lex as he entered the makeshift lab. She was carrying a stack of papers on a clipboard.
"What is it Dr. Redding?" He stopped as she handed him the clipboard.
"Mr. Luthor, we received the girl's blood test back."
"Well want did it show? I can't tell what any of this means doctor."
"It shows that there's absolutely nothing wrong with her. She's a perfectly healthy human being."
Lex looked back out at the driveway in deep thought, now with even more questions in his head.
