Chapter 32

Chloe sat eyeing the gun that was aimed at her head.

"Good choice," Lex said. "Now, I know you have known Clark for a very long time and I know he is very unique-"

"Your point is?" Chloe asked cutting him off.

"My point is, I know he has secret and I know that you know it."

"What makes you think I know?" Chloe asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, Chloe. You are always protecting the golden boy."

"Look, Lex, I don't know what Clark's secret is."

Lex sighed, "Wrong answer, Ms. Sullivan."

Lex aimed the gun at her. Chloe closed her eyes as he pulled the trigger. She waited for her life to end but it never came.

Chloe opened her eyes, checking herself for any blood. When none was to be found she glared at him.

"What the hell, Lex!"

"Next time I won't miss."

"Why the hell are you doing all of this?"

"What do you think I want? Power."

"So you think a farm boy is stopping you from getting that power."

"He's not just some regular farm boy, Chloe. I knew he was special the day he saved me."

"We're back to that again? Can't you just be happy that Clark saved your ungrateful ass?"

Lex ignored her, "Stop avoiding the question. I demand to know Clark's secret."

"I don't know what it is."

Lex stood up and began walking towards her. Chloe got up and started backing up until she met the wall.

Lex towered over her holding her by her neck. He pointed the gun to her temple and whispered in her ear, "I get what want, Chloe."

"Well, you're not getting any thing from me."

Lex's jaw tightened. He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the office. While Chloe yelped in pain she couldn't fight back because he still held the gun his hand.

He dragged her to another room. There were TV screens everywhere, and Lex forced Chloe to sit down while his men tied her down to the chair.

"I will get you to tell me what I want to know. I'm going to give a preview of what will happen to you if you don't."

She looked at the screen. Her eyes widened. There was Calvin hanging from steel chains being beaten. She saw him wince in pain but he never screamed for mercy, instead he took the beating.

"Stop this Lex! Stop them!" Chloe yelled as tears clouded her vision.

"You have the power to stop this by telling me Clark's secret."

Chloe remembered what Calvin had told her earlier and responded, "You will never know."

"Take her downstairs," Lex said.

The men untied her and dragged Chloe to where Calvin was.

"Bad choice, Chloe," Lex said leaving the room.

Clark reached Spencer's house and he knocked on the door.

Spencer opened it shocked to find Clark, "Mr. Kent, I'm surprised to see you."

Clark grabbed Spencer and lifted up him up, "Where are Calvin and Chloe?"

Spencer is surprised by the younger man's strength, "I don't know what you're talking about it."

Clark glared at him and threw him across the room, "I think you do, and you're not going anywhere without you giving me answers."

Clark usually never threatened anybody with his powers but some things had to be done.

Spencer stood up slowly, "What the hell are you?"

Clark smiled taking him by the throat, "I'm just your average farm boy. Now tell me: where are Chloe and Calvin?"

Spencer smiled at him, "I don't know."

Clark glared at him and tried hard not to hurt him.

"Clark, let him go!"

Clark turned around to see Bruce standing there with a syringe in his hand.

Clark didn't let Spencer go but stared at the syringe in his hand, "What is that?"

"You'll find out, "Bruce said walking towards them.

Bruce injected the liquid into Spencer's arm. He screams but then went limp.

Clark placed him on the couch turning to face Bruce, "What did you do?"

"I didn't kill him."

"What will happen to him?"

"He won't remember you trying to kill him or that you could lift him up easily."

"I wasn't trying to kill him."

"Tie him up," Bruce said changing the subject.

"I'm not going to tie him up."

Bruce looked at him, "Stop being stubborn, Kent."

Clark looked back, "I'm not, Wayne."

Before Bruce could comment, the front door was flung open as men with guns walked in. Bruce and Clark got ready to fight.

"There is no point of fighting boys!" General Lane stepped in, "I want my daughter back and I want her now!"

"We don't have her," Clark lied.

"Well then, boys, arrest these men for kidnapping and perjury."

The men put Clark and Bruce into handcuffs, "Perjury! Are you serious?" Clark yelled.

"I'm dead serious, Kent. I did some searching, found out the papers you gave the hospital are fake. Unless Lois miraculously wakes up, you're going to court! And guess what? I'm the judge, jury and the prosecutor."

Clark's jaw tensed but he didn't say anything as he and Bruce were lead to a truck, which would be taking them to the base. Little did the general know, he would be eating his words soon.


At the manor…

Darkness was all she could see. As she opened her eyes the sun blinded her. She moved her right hand, now that they didn't feel numb, and blocked the sun's light. She moved her left hand getting back feeling. She then proceeded to move her legs which were functioning as well. When she could see clearly again, she moved her hand away from her eyes admiring the diamond ring.

Her head felt like someone had beaten her with a hammer, and she sighed in pain. Even though the pain was evident, she was back. Lois Joanne Lane…Kent was back. She was on mission now to find the S.O.B. who did this to her and she wouldn't rest until he paid.
