Good v Evil part 1
Clark looked at his biological mother blankly. "Fly? I can't fly."
"You have finally accepted your destiny my son. You can. You both can." Lara said.
"Cool." Chloe said.
Clark did not look as thrilled as Chloe did. He had always been afraid of heights. Even though he had to go up and conquer that fear a few times he still would rather stay earth bound. Those times he had faced his fears he did it to save people and this time was no different he had to face his fears to save the whole world. No pressure or anything. He remembered that he had flown once when Jor-el controlling him but he wasn't exactly himself. He closed his eyes trying to remember.
Clark reflected on this and then said, "I think I remember." He then bent his knees forward and leaped up. Chloe copied what he was doing and then they both flew out of there. They flew amongst all of these large crystal ice pillars. Chloe thought it was beautiful. She admired the reflective red, yellow and blue colors within the top of the large ice pillars. Clark scanned the fortress and found the spot where Lana and Lex were. They landed right behind them. Chloe gulped, she did not want to face Lana. Lana was her best friend for years and until yesterday Lana was Clark's girlfriend. And now Chloe was Clark's wife. She felt awful. How was she going to talk to her? Lana''''s appearance had changed some how. Her hair was put up wildly in such a way chloe has not seen her. When she landed she was expecting Lana to be shocked, she had just flown in after all. But Lana's expression seemed so different. She looked pleased to see her in a strange and eerie way.
Chloe went up to Lana and spoke, "Lana, it may not be too late. You have to get out of here now."
With a crooked smile Lana put off a sadistic laugh, "Now why would I do a thing like that?"
Chloe dismissed Lana's odd behavior and continued with urgency, "Lana you don't know what you have gotten yourself into. It's better just to leave now."
"Oh, a part of my heir would have believed you, the part of her where she had trusted in her so called friends. She has relied too much on that naive part of herself for far too long."
"I...who are you?"
She held onto a pink crystal that was glowing. She laughed viciously again,
"Why you don't remember? Oh, of course you don't the last time we met you weren't exactly yourself. I must admit I much rather my friend Madelyn in your body. She was a whole lot more fun."
Chloe racked her brain trying to place that name. She had heard that name before but when? She gazed at Lana's eyes so full of evil and then she came to a realization, "Isabel?"
She smiled, "Back in the flesh. I really didn't expect to ever reclaim this body again not after I fulfilled my destiny and I had killed that horrid woman."
Chloe was a little shocked by this. She wondered when that happened. Did Lana know about this or was it something she did not remember? If she knew about it she had kept this secret. She wished Lana had shared this with her but she understood that people had kept secrets for a reason. She felt if Lana only had put Chloe in the loop about this whole Isabel thing she could probably helped her and prevent this, what ever it was.
"What do you want?" Chloe asked Isabel.
"Oh, has the brilliant Chloe Sullivan not figured it out? I want what I've always wanted, power. My heir wants the same thing. She is tired of things happening to her without her control. I can give her that."
"Control? You're controlling her. She would never willingly allow you to take over. Lana would never have any part…"
"It's interesting how quickly you defend your friend. How you try so hard to act like the loyal friend."
Isabel circled around her, smelling her she whispered, "I smell him all over you. How long have you've been waiting to stab her in the back?"
Isabel's word pierced Chloe's heart with daggers of guilt. She had felt like she had betrayed her but she did not marry Clark only for herself she did it to save the world. Lana and she had been through this with Clark for a long time. They were both in love with the same guy and they still managed to be friends after all of these years.
Chloe breathed in deeply giving her self strength. She turned to Clark was on the other side of the fortress facing Lex. Then she turned to Isabel and said, "Like you care. I did what I had to do. In my position Lana would do the same thing."
Isabel laughed,"Oh, how noble. Come on Chloe. I know what is in your heart. She has always known. You are both fools to let a man come between you. Men, they have their uses. They can be fun, sure. They are fools too. They think they can contain us, belittle us, and take all of the power for themselves. They were wrong about me. I showed them."
Chloe scoffed, "Until, they burned you to the stake. If I remember correctly it was a man that stopped you the last time you overran Lana's body."
Isabel gripped on a pink crystal she was holding, "A miner set back. It led me here to my destiny. The stones of power were only stepping stones for here. This is where I will get the ultimate power I have always dreamed of. He brought me here and resurrected me with this power."
Isabel stared at the crystal obsessively.
"A man brought you here oh how…" Chloe started then Isabel interrupted.
"I told you they had their uses. Now join me Chloe. Together we can have ultimate power. We can be two goddesses walking among men making them bow at our feet."
They were standing before an alter full of pink crystals. Mesmerized by these crystals Chloe's eyes gazed onto the middle one. Reaching for the crystal it began to float above her hand.
"See it's your destiny too."
Chloe remained silent as she grabbed a hold of it. It seemed calling out to her. A pink light began to illuminate all over her hand wrapping around her palm.
"Yes, that's it Chloe. Join me and all of this power can be yours." Isabel said over Chloe's shoulders.
Chloe quickly let go of the crystal she felt like she just tugged herself from a magnetic force. She panted and then said, "I'll never join you Isabel. I came here to stop Zod. The portal has been opened, now where is he? What ever power he has promised you, you can't believe you'll get it. He'll take what ever he needs from you and he'll leave you in the dust powerless and helpless."
"Smart girl. Now it is time for you to leave." She pointed her finger and a pink light emerged from her finger tip.
"Kalate." She yelled out confidently. Chloe sped behind her. The light hit a large crystal pillar instead, causing it to crash down. Shattering every where.
