First off, I would like to thank everyone who has been reading this fic and people who have reviewed. Please keep reading and reviewing. Suggestions welcomed.
The next morning greeted Clark Kent with a room full of golden sunshine. He had slept in his loft, and awakened to the bright sunshine. He felt groggy and sore."Lana", he whispered slowly.
Clark remembered the previous night and all that had happened. Lana had seemed normal at the Talon. Then in the loft she was extremely flirtatious. But then during the jailbreak, she was even stranger. Clark knew what was happening to her, but not why it had happened.
Could she be from Krypton? Maybe she was just hiding like me. Clark shook his head. No, Dr. Swann told me that I was the last remaining Kryptonian. It must have been Kryptonite that had affected her.
Clark decided to travel to the Sullivan household, where Lana was staying. Maybe Chloe has noticed something odd about Lana. She might even know what happened.The alien teen quickly sped to his room, and tossed on a bright red T- shirt and a brown jacket. Then he regularly walked down to the kitchen.
"Good morning Clark. Breakfast is coming up." Martha Kent smiled at her son.
"Sorry mom, but I have to go to Chloe's house. It's something important."
"Is Chloe all right, dear?"
"It's not her, it's Lana. I'll have to tell you later."
Before Martha could tell her son she would save him some breakfast, he was gone in a split second.Clark Kent tapped softly on the front door of the Sullivan home. He waited as Chloe opened the door.
"Hey Clark, what's up?" The aspiring journalist smiled softly. She brushed a blonde lock out of her face and stared at Clark.
"Chloe, is Lana here?" For a second, Chloe's face saddened and she sighed, but then it was gone, replaced by a worried look.
"Actually Clark, she didn't come home last night. My dad's at work, but I was planning on checking the Talon. We can go right now." Clark nodded and waited for his friend to grab her purse and car keys. She locked the door, and then unlocked her car. The two teens got into the red beetle, and Chloe started the car. "Um, Clark? Did you walk all the way here?"As Chloe parked the car, she turned to Clark.
"Care to tell me any interesting details of our currently missing friend?"
"I saw her last night. She was acting really weird."
"Clark, she told me last night she was heading for your house. She never came back." Clark looked a little guilty, but the quickly escaped out of the car.
Chloe followed Clark into the Talon. They both looked around the room.
"And I thought this place had gotten destroyed yesterday."
"Chloe, it was. I don't know who fixed it up so quickly though.
All though Clark had a strong hunch it had been Lana Lang herself.
Chloe walked up to one of the waitresses, and smiled.
"Hi, is your manager around?"
"Um, no. Mrs. Lang wasn't here when the place had opened. But it had been cleaned up greatly and the place wasn't locked."
"Thanks." Chloe rejoined Clark and replayed the waitress's reply.
"Well, I guess we could just search the town."
"Or maybe Mr. Small might have heard from her", Chloe added. But Clark hadn't been listening. His focus was zeroed in on a TV next to the counter. He moved toward it to get a closer look. "Clark?" Chloe asked as she followed him. Then she gasped at the screen. A reporter suddenly steeped in front of the camera and started reporting.
"We're here at Smallville Savings and Loans, where there is currently a robbery in progress. The Smallville police force is currently trying to negotiate with the robbers to release their hostage. The hostage has been identified as the Talon manager Lana Lang."
Chloe and Clark met glances for a second, and then they took off. Chloe jumped into the driver's seat, but Clark stopped.
"I know a shortcut. I'll meet you there, Chloe."
"Clark?"
Clark ran around the side of the Talon, out of Chloe's view, and took off at super speed.A/N: Kind of a cliffhanger and short, sorry. Please, please review. Update coming soon.
