Chp 27
Both Lex and Clark fell asleep, but Lex woke first and went to see her, Clark followed him and watched him staring through a window, Clark joined him. They watched as the doctors were just finishing up and were sewing her scalp together, they were very good and considerate of her hair, none of it was shaved off. As the some of the nurse or attendants or what ever they were rolled her out through another back door and the same doctor that spoke to them earlier cleaned up and again came to speak to them. "She's weak, we had to leave some of the connections from the metal plate in her" he sighed "we think that it would do more damage if we tried to take them out , she's be out for at least another two hours" "Good thank you doctor" Lex said, then it hit Clark that no one used or called each other by name, who was find from whom? "Look I'm saying everything in there went well, but we still don't know how it will effect her when she wakes" and with that the doctor walked away. "Lex suggested that they should go and eat something, as much as Clark didn't want to leave her, Lex was right they haven't eaten in hours. They were a bit longer then two hours and quickly but safely Lex sped the Porsche back to the lab. This time Clark was fine with Lex going in to see her first, she was still sleeping. "I'm sorry Pacifica, so sorry that you had to go through this, sorry for my selfishness" as he picked up her hand and placed it against his cheek. She never saw him cry, but the moisture on his cheek was not sweat, she opened her eyes to look at him, he waited for her to start talking. "Lex "her voice was very raspy, she pointed to the pitcher of water and he went to get some for her "So, how are you feeling?" as he handed her the water, she took a sip and said "Like I was kidnapped, thrown off a road and down a hill, lost all my memories, just feel like shit now" and she smiled to him, in an effort to lighten his mood, he finally smiled at her then lost it the minute she asked if Clark was here. As much as he hated to get him, he did. Clark went in, she smiled at him and told him to sit down next to here. "Are we completely alone?" she asked "Yeah, just you and me in the room" he answered her thinking maybe she was having eyes problems "No I mean cameras and such" she enhanced her question "Don't know for sure, where in Lex's Medical Lab, why do you ask?" "Just making sure, nothings changed Clark" and she didn't even flinch at any pain "Your head.......doesn't hurt...........when you say my name" he asked "Not one bit" she said with a massive smile, he then looked puzzled "What you mean nothings changed?" "Well put it this way, I have no more figurines in my house" and with that he knew exactly what she meant and he knew that his friend has once again had been returned to him, he wanted to hug her so badly, but knew if she was up to it.
Once the doctor said that she could be moved Lex brought her back to the mansion and for the next few days Clark and Lex helped her back on her feet and there was small minor things that she still needed cleared up. Lex came home one night and found her packing her items "What are you doing?" he asked almost worried to hear the answer "It's time for me to go back to my place" she looked at him just passed her shoulder "There's no need too" "Yes there is Lex, you think I don't know, you think that I don't remember, well I do know" she didn't even raise her voice to him "What are you talking about?" and he truly didn't know "The tranq wasn't that effective, I wasn't completely out of it when they were...well... working on me" as he pointed to her head "And believe me it hurt" she continued. She finished packing her items and went downstairs where a cab was waiting for her. Lex followed her, not knowing what to say and watched her get into the cab and drive away, and what could he, he knew that he was in the wrong, no words could undo what he did and nothing, and even all his money couldn't help him get her back, not his time, this was the end for them. Pacifica went straight to the house and called Clark, only by name and like he always said to her "Call and I'll come running" and within a minute he was there she sat him down, and that when he opened up his jacket and let Dr. Snuggles out. She picked him up and gave the little soul so much love and affection then proceeded to tell him that with in the next few days she'll be leaving town, wasn't sure if it will be along term or short term, that she needed time to herself to think and to gather herself. Clark protested her thoughts of leaving, telling her that he'd help her in any, all her new friends would help her, and she knew they would. "It's that I just need to clear my thought or even try to gather them, and it's something that I want to do one my own, it's just the way I am" she told him "I know your a tough cookie" he shot a wicked smile at her "Please don't tell any one I would like to say my good byes just before I leave" she asked of him. Clark didn't agree to that, but he would respect her wishes
