Chloe and Lois arrived at the hospital and Chloe stated, "Alec isn't here again." Chloe looked at Lois in a concern expression. "I mean this is four days in a row that we have not run into him here." Lois didn't say anything "Don't you find that odd?"

Lois spoke, "No."

Chloe puzzled, "Why not?"

Lois answered, "Ok Chloe…one of two things is happening here. One he is just way to worry about Lana that he is doing other things to keep his mind off of her condition." Chloe nodded and thought okay that sounds logical. "Or he has moved on."

Chloe exclaimed, "Alec would not do that!"

Lois asked, "He wouldn't?" Chloe looked at her in a very aggressive expression "How well do we even know the guy?"

Chloe remarked, "He is not just Lana's boyfriend…he is our friend to…well at least he's my friend." Lois rolled her eyes at Chloe "I know you like him as a friend because you do the same thing with Clark."

Lois responded, "Oh please…I do not like Smallville."

Chloe smirked, "Whatever you say Lo."

Just then the doctor came in and stated, "Hi girls, Lana's vitals are doing really well."

Chloe asked, "Do you know why she is not waking up?"

The doctor answered, "More than likely it is from the impact that her head took from the fall."

Chloe and Lois nodded and Lois decided to question, "Has Coach McDowell been by lately?"

The doctor glanced over at them after he finished a check up on Lana. The doctor responded, "Yea I have seen the Coach." Chloe smiled at Lois "It's nice of him and his girlfriend to come check up on Lana." Lois got wide eyed along with Chloe "Have a nice day girls."

Chloe hit Lois as soon as the doctor was out of the door, "This is your fault."

Lois puzzled, "How is this my fault?"

Chloe stated, "You jinxed it" Chloe thought…no the doctor is wrong Alec would not do that to Lana. He loved her…didn't he?

Meanwhile Alec and Max were hanging out at the Talon when Clark came in and spoke, "Hey Coach…hey you."

A hint of jealousy came over Alec and he puzzled, "You two know each other?"

Max smiled and answered, "He pointed me in the right direction my first night here."

Alec said, "Oh…well Clark is one of my students I told you about."

Clark questioned, "And she is?"

Alec responded, "This is Max my best friend from back home."

Clark asked, "So are you a Transgenic also?"

Max looked nervously at Alec and thought what had been telling these Ordinaries? Alec smiled at her and said, "Yeah she is."

Clark spoke, "Cool that's awesome."

Max cocked her head to the side and puzzled, "You mean to tell me you are not going to turn us over to the government?"

Alec stated, "People here in Smallville don't care what you are the just care who you are. That's why you don't see anything happening here like it does in Seattle."

Clark was about to ask something when Chloe and Lois appeared. Lois asked, "Hey Coach where have you been?"

Alec said, "Hi girls been hanging out with my best friend from back home. Chloe, Lois this is Max."

Lois mouthed to Chloe Best Friend Chloe and Lois both nodded sheepishly. Clark questioned, "So what was it like living there in Seattle?" Max looked at Clark "I mean you just looked surprised by the warm welcoming here to Transgenic…"

Max explained, "In Seattle transgenic are like aliens and they don't want us there. So people do whatever means to try and get rid of us. We always have to be on our guard."

Alec added, "We never went through one day without getting into life and death situations with Ordinaries."

Chloe and Lois were actually amazed to hear what kind of trials Alec and his friend had to go through. Lois puzzled, "What are Ordinaries?"

Alec answered, "You."

An unbearable silence went around the room and the Chloe asked, "So Max what brought you to Smallville?"

Alec looked at Max he had been wondering that exact question for days now. Max answered, "I Just came to check up on my best friend" Alec looked away she was lying. If there was one thing Alec knew it was when Max was lying. Now what really bothered him was really why she came to see him.
