Chapter 2
Lois and Clark where having dinner when Doctor Klein called. Clark answered the phone.
"Hello, Clark Kent speaking"
"Hello, this is doctor Klein. This afternoon Superman came over with an unidentified object"
"Yes, he told me about that, where you able to figure out what it was?"
"Well, honestly I wasn't. But there is something I found in there, but I can't tell you over the phone. It would be better if you came over here."
"We where just having dinner, but we'll be there in about half an hour our so, if that's okay?"
"That's fine, than I'll grab something to eat myself. I didn't had time for that today anyway."
"Okay, enjoy your dinner and we'll see you than."
About half an hour later, Lois and Clark entered Doctor Klein's office. He was just finishing the last part of his supper.
"Hello, thank you for coming over."
"No problem"
"Normally I would have waited until tomorrow morning, but I think you really wanted to see this, and as I don't now how to reach Superman, I had to call you"
"That's okay, we know it must be something important," Lois answered.
Doctor Klein stood up, and walked to his desk. Lois and Clark followed him. He picked up the small box Clark had found in the park earlier.
"I must say I've never seen anything like this before. It was hard finding out what it was, and I still don't know for certain, but I think I have a pretty good idea"
"Well, what is it?" Clark looked at doctor Klein curiously.
"I have reason to believe that it is a virus"
Lois and Clark looked confused. "What?"
"I know it sounds weird, but I've done several tests on the thing, and I think that it's holding a virus inside. Nothing human though"
"So you think it's a virus, from an other planet?"
"Yes, I think it is."
"Do you think it can affect humans?"
"I don't think so, I've tested it on human DNA, but it had no affect. I have to run more tests to see what it can do on long term, but as far as I can see know, I don't think it will."
"And how about Superman?"
"Well, I don't know actually. It might.."
Lois looked at Clark. A worried expression crossed her face. "In what way?"
"I don't know, it's to soon to tell, actually. But we need to find out where it came from, and it might be better to keep Superman away from it, just for now. So you need to find him, and tell him that"
-------------------------------
There was no way they she could understand what happened. A lot of investigation had to be done and normally she would have done it. And she knew that she and Clark would have figured out the truth. But now? She looked back to the bed. She wanted to scream. She wanted to cry. But she just couldn't. As much as she wanted, she just couldn't. She cried, she had, but now. Her mind where full of thoughts. Frustration filled her body, but most of all there was fear. The kind of fear she had never felled before in her live.
-------------------------------
Clark left Starlabs immediately. Lois staid there for just a while, to find out what else doctor Klein had discovered. Clark had no idea what was going on, but it could be something that could harm him. They made him come there, and when he was there, all he found was that small thing. A virus? What if...
Doctor Klein explained to Lois what he already had discovered. He showed her the results of the tests. He didn't asked why Clark had to leave so soon. He said he was going to find Superman, which doctor Klein thought was a very good idea. This good be an other attempt to kill Superman. But by who and how and why? There where so many questions and almost no answers. Doctor Klein could see the worry Lois' face showed. Of course, Superman was, besides Clark, her best friend. The world need him, and what if?
Lois went to the daily planet, where Clark was waiting for her. She caught him up with the things that had been told her before. Even though they had no idea what was going on jet, Lois could see the fear in Clark's eyes. She walked close to him and hold him in her arms for a while, telling him that everything would be okay. She promised him that. This reminded her to the Christmas, almost 2 years ago, when they tried killing Clark with a virus from New Krypton. Her father had prevented that, with kryptonite. She knew Clark was thinking about the same thing, at the time. They staid in each others arms for a wile, till eventually Clark pulled back.
"I think we need to do some research"
"Yeah, I think so too. Let's make a list of everybody who want to kill Superman, and has enough money and options to get an alien virus"
"Let's do that"
Lois and Clark worked in silence for a long time. It was about 11 p.m. when Lois felt how tired she was.
"Honey?"
Clark looked up from his computer. "Yes?"
"It's getting late, I think we should go home. We have to be here early again tomorrow"
Checking his, watch, Clark answered "Yes, I think that's a good idea" He waited for a while and than said "I'm sorry"
"Sorry for what?"
Clark stood up and walked to her desk, sitting down on top of it. "I'm sorry that our nice weekend now is ruined"
"Well, it's not your fault is it?"
He doubted on what to answer. Lois saw his doubt and answered for him. "You didn't went to an other planet and took a virus, placed it in a weird looking box which can might kill you, so don't say your sorry"
Clark still didn't knew how to respond, so he just picked her hand and leaded her to the door.
"Let's go home"
