Sam looked over the Wall of Weird, taking in every bit. She saw the cover of the Times with a girl crying, over the meteor shower. She felt a pang of guilt but shrugged it off. She wasn't sure of everything yet, so she shouldn't be jumping to conclusions.

"Interesting, isn't it? It's been my hobby, for as long as I have been here." Chloe remarked, stepping into the room to find Sam. Clark introduced her, but right now he was at football practice and Sam asked to check out the school's newspaper.

Sam turned around, her face flushed with excitement. "Where you here when the meteor shower happened?" Sam asked,

"No, I am glad I missed it though, sounded so tragic, and was the beginning to all the meteor-freaks." Sam froze when she said that.

"Meteor Freaks?" Sam asked cautiously, wondering if there were more like her.

"Yeah, the meteor rocks that crashed here have had a terrible effect on the people. There has been so many people killed or driven insane by the effects." Chloe remarked, thinking back to all the crazy times when she was chased by one thing or another.

"Meteor rock?" Sam asked, wondering if she came from inside one, or from some sort of space-ship.

"Yeah, want to see some? I keep two kinds, a red and green colored meteor rock. Don't tell Clark. He has a thing against any meteor rocks and would freak if he found out."

"I promise." Sam said, getting excited.

Chloe smiled and then unlocked a cabinet, and pulled out a lead-covered toolbox. She slid in a key and unlocked it, as it opened, the green rock started to glow. "That's never happened before..." Chloe started, lifting out of the box and examining it.

Sam felt pangs all over her body as the word 'pain' finally had meaning. She fell to the floor, in intense pain and felt extremely weak.

"Oh my god, are you okay Sam?" Chloe got on her knees and tried to lift Sam up. Her breathing was slowing and she groaned in pain. Chloe hastily put the Kryptonite back in the toolbox and closed the lid, and then got back on the ground to help Sam up.

Sam sighed weakly as the pain subsided. She still felt it subsiding, but it was decreasing and she felt her strength returning. "That's....never....happened....to...me...before..." Sam mumbled weakly, closing her eyes.

"Was that because of the meteor rock??? It glowed green, and it hurt you, but why didn't it hurt me? Have you ever been exposed to this before?" Chloe asked, intrigued by what had just happened.

Sam finally sat back up; she looked at the back of her hand, as it looked faintly like her veins were green. It disappeared and she was finally feeling back to normal. "That was the meteor rock?" Her eyebrows burrowed in frustration. How can I be from this place, if it caused such...pain when I was near it? Did whatever I come in protect me from its effects?

Chloe stood up and locked the box, and quickly hid it back in its spot before getting back to Sam. Her mind was racing with questions, and the story she could write about. She smiled to herself and helped Sam stand up. Sam's face was still pale, but was beginning to gain its color again.

"What is going on?" Clark demanded. He walked into the room finding Chloe helping Sam up, who looked deathly pale, and sick. They both looked up at him.
