Chapter 5

The next day after school Chloe was at the torch office. She watched the sun go down through the window as she typed up the newest addition. She ate away at a bowl of ramen and drunk a cup of coffee that Lana had brought to her. Lana had just left, complaining about problems with Clark, as always. She was grumbling about Clark's inability to commit and how she was once again going to forget about him and find someone new. Chloe sighed, reaching out for another gulp of black tar.

The door to the office opened, and a young man with strait brown hair walked in. His eyes were dilated and the veins along his neck were constricted. He had an arrogance about him, his skin was pink with teenage frustration.

"Sting?" Chloe asked. She had once interviewed him for the newspaper. He was one of the top intellectual students at the school, along with being a great aspiring athlete. What was he doing here?

"It seems you know something about the drugs, tell me the password." He growled a low raspy growl. Something, she thought, that resembled herself in the morning before coffee. Veins were popping through his arm, where he clutched a crow bar.

"What?" she said, dumbfounded, "what code?" So Sting was a meteor mutant, something she had never even suspected. She stood up, and started backing out.

"The password. To 304" He said, coming closer.

"304." She said in realization.

Sting swung at Chloe. She dodged and he ended up destroying her computer.

"Ok, now it's personal," she mumbled, taking her coffee and throwing it at him. She continued to throw more inanimate objects at him. Nobody got away with destroying her computer, no matter how hiked up on kryptonite drugs they were.

The objects did nothing as he kept walking towards her. She made her way towards the door and ran out, stumbling down the school hallway...

Lex drove along a country road to the manor, watching the sunset. He parked his car in his garage and turned the ignition off. He had just returned home from his business meeting in Gotham and felt mentally and emotionally exhausted. Right now all he needed was a relaxing shower and a call from Clark, he thought.

Clark and him were becoming very 'close' lately. Lex was growing even more fascinated with the farmboy and his secrets. He knew that there was something more between them both, but he was willing to wait. Clark was worth it, all the time in the world.

So he sat himself down in the seat in his office, trying to relax. Something told him he shouldn't have though; he turned around to find the blonde woman from the other day, carrying a large bat with her, same as the day before.

"Oh great," he said sarcastically. Another meteor mutant wanted him dead, what else was new? He backed out of his seat and suddenly a hand from behind was over his mouth. He could feel the fibers of a white cloth suffocate him and fill his lungs with a deadly toxin. He went black...
