After a half hour of non-stop running, Clark stopped at the Luthor mansion. Using his x-ray vision he looked up and down the house. And that's when he saw it. Two skeletal structures tied to a chair next to each other, and another laying unconcious on the floor-Lex. He rushed inside immediately and up the stairs and instantly he was in the room.

"Let them go Rob!" Clark said angrily.

"Well if it isn't Mr. Kent, so good of you to join us. But I'm afraid you're a little too late. I'm afraid Lex is already out." And he turned, pointing at Lex, who was laying on the floor, blood coming out of his stomach.

"Lex!" Clark began rushing towards him, but Rob stopped him.

"Nope, I don't think so." He said, raising another glass of the meteor drink.

Lana and Chloe sat, there, afraid to speak. But Chloe couldn't be silent anymore.

"Clark why is he using that drink against you?"

"Yes, Clark, why don't you tell her? Tell her how it's from the meteor rocks and when you're exposed to them you get sick. Oh, and don't forget to tell them how you're indestructable and can't be hurt."

Clark's eyes widened. His secret was out. To Lana. To Chloe. He pushed that aside and concentrated on getting them out of there safe.

"Clark, what is he talking about?" Chloe asked frantically.

"It's okay Chloe, I'm gonna get you guys out of here." He said, staring at Rob.

"That I'd like to see." Rob said crossing his arms. Clark approached the girls and suddenly felt weak. He looked down at their feet and saw meteor rocks surrounding their chairs.

*No* He fell to the floor. Again, he was feeling sick, and his vision began to get blurry. Just when he thought Rob was going to win, he saw Rob fall to the floor, and than he saw the meteor rocks floating and being thrown out the window, along with the glass Rob was holding. And Clark was strong again.

"Hey Clark! It's Pete! I found some of that stuff laying around back at the Torch. I got a call on my cell from one of Lex's servants, saying I needed to come over immediately. Than the line disconnected, and here I am."

"Clark, get us untied, hurry, what if he wakes up." Lana said struggling to get out of the chair.

"It's gonna be okay Lana." Clark rushed over to her, and Pete went to Chloe, and they heard a scream and Rob raised the knife toward Pete, and the four turned, and with Clark's fast reflexes stopped the knife from stabbing Pete, and with the impact of the knife into Clark it shattered into a thousand pieces. He gave Rob a powerful punch, not too powerful, just enough to knock him out. By than Chloe and Lana were untied and the three stood there staring at him in, not believing what they just saw.

"Did you just..." Chloe began, but Clark finished for her.

"I...Lex!" Clark rushed over to Lex's side, and he wasn't moving. Lex was losing a lot of blood.

"We have to get him to a hospital." Lana said kneeling down next to Clark.

"Driving him will take too long, I have to..." He started but finished.

"Have to what?" Lana asked serious tone.

"I can't explain, but right now I have to get Lex to a hospital. I promise, i'll tell you everything when I get back." And with that, holding Lex, he did his superspeed run and was out of the room in a flash.
