You're not Alone

Chapter 4 ~~~~~~

(Just at the gun-like object is fired, Jor-El jumps in front of Clark and takes all of the blows and falls to the ground dead. Vanessa tacks this opportunity to speed and get the gun. She backs up and points the gun at the Captainian.)

Vanessa: Go back to your world Captainian. Your business here is done.

Captainian: Not as long as there is still a Kryptonian still on this planet. I will...

(Vanessa shoots the gun-like object at the arm of the Captainian. He bends over in pain.)

Captainian: You're going to pay for this Vanessa, if it's the last thing I do.

(He touches an object that looks like a watch and disappears. Vanessa falls to the ground crying, Clark is now by Jor-El side with tears in his eyes. When he saw his birth father's memories his felt as though he has know his birth father all his life, and now he was gone.)

Mr. K: Clark! (Mr. K rushes over to Vanessa and Clark and sees Jor-El.) Is that?

Clark: Jor-El.

(With that Vanessa cries even louder.)

Mr. K: Vanessa, are you ok?

(Clark's eyes too begin to water)

Mr. K: What happened?

(Vanessa looks at her hands just in time to see them start to shake.)

Vanessa: Clark, you have to get out of here.

Mr. K: Why don't we...

Vanessa: My blood is has green kryptonite in it. (Her hands start to shake) Mr. Kent, get your son out of here!

(Clark start to feel weak as if there was a piece of kryptonite in his chest. Mr. K sees this are starts to move Clark away when Vanessa's hands stop shaking. Clark and Mr. K look at Vanessa. She is now sitting down with her eyes closes, taking deep breaths. When her breathing is back to normal, she opens her eyes.)

Vanessa: I'm fine, it's gone now.

Mr. K: What was that?

Vanessa: I have caught a very rare disease.

Mr. K: How rare?

Vanessa: It occurs to about one in every ten million Krytonians.

(Clark looks from his father to Vanessa.)

Clark: Is that what the Captainian said Jor-El was?

(Vanessa gets up and almost falls again. Mr. K goes to assist her but she refuses.)

Vanessa: You have enough to worry about Clark, without adding a war to it.

Clark: So you're from my home planet?

Vanessa: Well yea. (Under her breath) What's left of it.

Clark: (Having heard what Vanessa said.) What do you mean?

Vanessa: Look we don't have time for this. If we don't get out of here, more Captainians will come. What we need to do is hang low for a while.

Mr. K: How many days are we talking about here?

Vanessa: I don't know, weeks maybe months.

Mr. K: (To Clark) Clark you can't miss that many school days.

Clark: Well if I don't do any saving we should be ok, right.

Vanessa: I thinks that would be ...(She stops)

Mr. K: What's...

(Vanessa puts up a finger to her lips.)

Vanessa: (Whispers) Clark, did you hear that?

(Clark hears in a distance)

Man: They got to be around here somewhere.

Woman: If we don't find them here we'll have to recuperate.

(Vanessa grabs Clarks hand and starts to slowly walk threw the field)

Clark: (Whisper) Why aren't we running?

Vanessa: (Whisper) Because they can since when we use our powers.

Mr. K: (Whisper) Our house is the closes; we'll go there and keep low till tomorrow.

(Vanessa looks worried but nods her head. They slowly make their way to the house.)

~ Kent Farm ~

(Mrs. K is talking on the phone, she hangs it up just as Clark, Vanessa and Mr. Kent enter the house.)

Mrs. K: Oh thank god. (She rushes over to Clark and gives him a hug.) I was so worried. The hospital said that (looks at Vanessa) you were missing and...

(She is interrupted by Lex arriving at the door.)

Clark: Lex, what are you doing here?

Lex: You seem to have left this...(holds up a history book)...at my house. Thought you might need it.

Clark: Thanks Lex. I was wondering where it went.

Lex: And who might you be?

Vanessa: I'm Vanessa, a friend of Clark's.

Lex: Nice to meet you, I'm...

Vanessa: Lex Luther. I just came moved her from Metropolis.

Lex: I'm impressed. What made you move back to Smallville?

(Vanessa glances at Clark)

Vanessa: Let's just say I needed some closure.

(Lex glances from Vanessa to Clark)

Lex: I see.

Vanessa: I...(she hears something. She starts to look threw the wall.)

(Lex looks at her weird)

(Vanessa sees a Captainian outside pointing a gun-like object at the house)

Vanessa: Clark! (The Captainian shoots the gun. Before she can do anything Lex falls to the ground with a bloody green hole in his shoulder. He screams is pain and Vanessa closes her eyes and force like thing appears around Lex, the Kents and her. The Captainian Speeds into the room.)
