AN: Thanks for all the reviews guys! Keep it up!

Ch 2

Later they are at Smallville Medical Center. Chloe is sitting on an examine table waiting for the doctor. Clark is in the room with her.

"I can't believe you made me come here." Complains Chloe. "I feel great. In fact, I feel better than I've ever felt."

"Really?" questions Clark.

"Yes, honestly." Replies Chloe.

"I just want to make sure you're ok. You can never be too careful when dealing with meteor."

"I appreciate your concern, really. But I just want to go home."

"I know Chloe."

Dr. Helen Bryce comes in the door. "Clark, Chloe, Hi." Greets Helen.

"Dr Bryce." Greets Clark.

Helen pulls up a stool and sits down in front of Chloe. "I'm just going to run a few tests to make sure that you're all right." Helen says as she puts on her gloves.

"Clark, if you don't mind, could you give us some privacy?"

"Oh, um sure. I'll be right outside if you need me Chloe."

"Ok" Chloe couldn't help but laugh at him as he walked out the door.

"Chloe, I'm just going to take a blood sample. You might feel a slight pinch." Helen rubs alcohol on her skin then she lowers the needle to Chloe's arm. She tries to insert it into her vein but it wouldn't even break the skin.

"Hmm. That's weird." Says Helen, confused.

"What's wrong?" questions Chloe.

"I can't get the needle to go in." replies Helen.

"That's weird." Chloe says.

"Here, I'll try the other arm." Helen tries the other arm and the same thing happens. "Chloe? Does it hurt when I do that?"

"No, I can't even feel it. Is there something wrong with me?"

"Not that I can tell." Says Helen still puzzled.

"Can I leave now?" asks Chloe.

"Sure, but make sure you come back if anything and I mean anything goes wrong."

"Ok, I will." Replies Chloe.

When Chloe walks into the waiting room Clark is anxiously waiting for her.

"Chloe!" Clark runs up and hugs her. "Are you going to be ok?"

"Yes" answers Chloe with a confused look on her face.

"I called your dad, he's on his way." Clark notices her expression. "What's wrong?" he questions.

"I don't know Clark. Some weird things are happening to me."

"Like what?" Clark asks.

"Like how I fought off those guys. I felt…. I don't know….. like I had this extra strength that came out of no where." Chloe contemplated telling him everything. "There's more. When Lionel hit me, it busted my lip open. Now there is nothing there, not even so much as a scratch. It's completely healed. And what about when Morgan hit me over the head with his gun. There's not a even a bruise and it's not even sore. Chloe began to raise her voice. "Clark, what's wrong with me?" She is practically screaming at this point. People are beginning to stare at them.

"Shh, it's ok Chloe." He tired to hug her to comfort her but she pulled away from him.

"I'm fine Clark. I just need to get some air."

"Ok, Let's go for a walk outside." Suggests Clark.

Chloe follows him outside. They walk out the front door. There is some kind of construction going on. It's very noisy.

"Oh yeah! This was a great idea Clark!" Chloe yells over the noise. "Come on!" She grabs his hand and pulls him with her as she walks around to the side of the building. It isn't as loud over there.

"This is a little better." Comments Chloe. "I wonder what they are building." Chloe plops down on a bench in front of a small garden.

"They're probably building a Luthor wing." Clark says jokingly as he sits next to her.

"They should name a wing after us, we're here so often." Chloe says sarcastically. "Well I am anyway." Chloe starts to think about what Lionel told her about Clark. "So, is it true? I mean what Lionel said about you?"

"Yeah" Clark whispers.

"Well I know that you're bullet proof but what other abilities do you have?" questions Chloe.

"Can we talk about this later?" Clark says, trying to avoid the subject as long as possible. "Come on, let's go back inside."

They get up and head back toward the door. There are construction workers every where. Chloe and Clark have to walk around them and their machinery. They were almost there when Chloe yells "Oh crap! I left my purse on the bench. I have to go get it. Be right back." She took off before Clark had time to protest. She heads back over there where they were sitting and grabs her purse. She starts to head back when all of the sudden there is some commotion and a cable snaps right above her head. Clark didn't see it until it was too late. Even with his super speed he couldn't make it there in time, plus there are too many people and machines between them. All he can do is scream her name. "CHLOE!!!!" She looks up just as a metal beam lands in her open arms. She drops it instantly. Clark is praying that he is the only one who saw that.

"Oh my God!" A construction work says as he runs over to her. "I could have sworn that was gonna hit ya. Are you ok?"

Clark runs up to her. "Chloe? Are you all right?"

She looks at Clark then at the confused construction worker then at the beam. She doesn't know what to think.

"Come on Chloe, let's get you back inside." Clark helps her step over the beam. She is still speechless. He takes her back inside. She stops him.

"You saw that right?! She asks, starting to freak out. "I caught it Clark! It was in my arms! I was holding it!" Tears are running down her cheeks. She is irrational. "Please tell me you saw that!"

"Yeah I saw it Chloe." Clark admits.

"What's happening to me Clark?" Chloe is shaking all over.

"I don't know, it's almost like…" he trails off.

"Like what Clark?" questions Chloe.

"Like you have my abilities."

"What?!" Chloe is shocked.

"That's one of my abilities, super strength. And I also heal really fast. And like you said, I'm bullet proof." Clark explains.

"You think I've taken your abilities?"

"No, I think you've gained abilities of your own." Clark replies.

"I….uh…I need to sit down." Chloe is having a hard time processing this information.

"Chloe, do you know what this means?"

"Yeah, I'm a meteor freak!"

"Welcome to the club. Except I'm not a meteor freak. I'm actually an alien. My spaceship crash landed here the day of the meteor shower."

Chloe looked at his like his head had just exploded.

"But that's a conversation for another time. Say something Chloe." Says Clark, not used to Chloe being speechless.

"I need….I need…I need my computer! I have to do some research! Oh my God Clark! I'm a freak of the week!"

"Chloe, you're the freak of the century." Clark says jokingly trying to lighten her mood.

Gabe and Lana arrive.

"Chloe, Sweetheart." Her dad pulls her into a hug. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine dad."

"What the heck were you doing at Luthorcorp?" questions Gabe.

"Um, can we talk about this later?" asks Chloe innocently.

"Sure sweetheart. You've had quite a day. Let's get you home."

"I'm glad you're ok Chloe." Says Lana, expressing her concern.

"Thanks Lana." Chloe turns her attention to Clark. "Thanks for everything Clark. I'll call you later."

"Bye Chloe."

They head back home.

The next morning at the Sullivan house, Gabe is rushing to get ready for work. Chloe is following him around the kitchen driving him crazy.

"Do I have to go to school?" questions Chole.

"I'm not going to force you to go if you don't feel up to it. But you seem fine to me."

Chloe hadn't gotten any sleep the night before. She just had too much on her mind and she still does.

"Are you feeling ok sweetie?"

"I feel super dad, I just don't know if I'm prepared to face all my peers and their zillions of insensitive questions."

"Is that all?" asks Gabe with a laugh.

"Dad, this is serious. School can create harmful stress for person right after a traumatic experience." Chloe says.

"Like I said, I'm not going to force you to go."

"I might go, I have some research to do, you know for the Torch." Says Chloe, making sure that her dad hears the last part. She doesn't want him to get suspicious.

Gabe is trying to make jelly toast while tying his tie. He can't get the jelly jar open.

"Here let me do it" Chloe grabs the jar and opens it with ease. Gabe gives her a questioning look.

"Oh, I've been working out here lately." Chloe replies. "I'm gonna go ahead. I have to stop by and see Clark before school."
"Oh good, so you are going to school?" questions Gabe.

"I don't know yet dad. I have to go." She grabs her stuff and heads out the door. "Bye!"

Lana comes down the stairs. "Where is she off to so early?"

"She's going to Clark's. Have you noticed that she's been acting weird since yesterday?" Comments Gabe.

"You mean more so than usual? I don't know, it seems like she's been avoiding me since yesterday." Lana says.

"Weird." Gabe says.

Chloe goes to the Kent's house and knocks on the front door.

Martha opens the door. "Good morning Chloe!" she smiles at her as she invites her in.

"Good morning Mrs. Kent. Is Clark around? I really need to speak to him." Chloe says.

"He's in the loft. Clark told us what happened. Are you sure you're ok?" Martha asks with concern.

"Yes, I'm fine." Replies Chloe.

Jonathan walks in. "He also told us that you found out about…his well…you know. Chloe, do I need to tell you how important it is that you not say anything to anyone. If someone found out then something bad could happen to Clark."

"I understand Mr. Kent. I would never tell anyone. I promise."

"Thank you Chloe."

"Well I'm gonna go talk to Clark now." Chloe says.

"Oh sure, go ahead sweetie. Bye." Says Martha.

"Bye" Chloe replies.

Chloe walks out to the barn. When she's inside she yells "You better cover up what you don't want seen cause I'm coming up there Kent!"

Clark can't help but laugh at her greeting. She never ceases to humor him.

"Good morning Chloe." Clark says as Chloe walks up the last few steps. Chloe looks around his 'fortress of solitude'. There are so many memories here. She gave Clark his first kiss up here. She can't help the smile that creeps across her face at the memory. She notices his telescope. "I noticed that you lost your interest in astronomy when Lana moved away."

"Can I help you with something Chloe?" Clark asks, trying to change the subject.

"I need to talk about my abilities." She whispers the last word. "I want to learn how to use them and ultimately how to control them. I don't want to accidentally crush the life out of someone."

"I doubt that will happen Chloe."

"I know, it's just that ever since I've discovered my strength I've been extra cautious about everything I touch. I don't want to break anyone or anything."

"Chloe, it's like my dad said, these abilities are like muscles. You have to exercise them if you the in order to strengthen them and control them."

"Can you help me do that?" questions Chloe.

"Of course Chloe. But not right now. We have to go to school." Clark comments.

"Clark! I think my condition is more important than school!" Chloe yells.

"Chloe, come on. Let's just go to school and I'll help you afterwards."

"Ok fine." Chloe reluctantly agrees. "What should I do until then?"

"Just be careful. I'm sure everything will be ok."

They head off to school. Later that day Chloe is in the torch office. She is studying her 'wall of weird' when Clark pops his head in.

"Hey Chlo!" he gives her that million dollar Clark Kent smile.

"Hey Clark." She smiles back at him.

"Whatya doin?" asks Clark.

"I'm contemplating stapling myself to the 'wall of weird'"

"Oh Chloe, is it really that bad?"

"No, I'm fine. I just have a lot on my mind. Besides, even the staples from my super powered staple gun won't go through my skin. Believe me, I tried."

Clark laughed. She glared at him for being insensitive.

"Sorry. You're just going a little nuts. Lay off the coffee."

"Oh my God! I didn't have any coffee today! And I don't even have a headache or anything. I'm not tired either and I didn't sleep ANY last night. I'm not even a little bit tired. In fact I feel great! I feel so alive! Clark, why is this happening to me?" she whines.

"Most people would be thrilled to feel so great. It's like the cure to life." Clark answers.

"Oh yeah, let's all go shoot up on meteor rocks." Retorts Chloe as her cell phone begins go ring.

"Hello?" she answers the phone. "Oh my God!" says Chloe shocked. "I can't believe he would do that! Don't worry dad, I'll fix this." She hangs up the phone.

"What happened?" Clark asks.

"Lionel fired my dad." Chloe replies. "When I get a hold of him I'm going to.."

"Calm down Chloe! Don't do anything rash. Lionel Luthor is not someone you want to find out about your powers."

Chloe takes a deep breath trying to repress her anger.

"Ok Clark. I'll handle this with out using my…" she stops herself, now wanting someone to overhear.

Chloe grabs her stuff and heads toward the door.

"Where are you going?" questions Clark.

"To see the lesser of two evils. I'm going to see Lex. Hopefully he can help." Chloe says.

"Ok, but be careful."

"I can take care of myself." Replies Chloe.

"I know, I just meant don't hurt Lex." Clark says.

Chloe laughs. "I'll try not to. So are we still on for after school?"

Clark nods.

"All right. I'll see you back at your place in a few hours."

She leaves and heads toward the Luthor mansion.
