Inside the lab was dark. Clark snuck around quietly, avoiding the sporadic guard or technician that was walking around. Many of the rooms he checked were storage, but as he ventured deeper into the building, he came upon the testing rooms that Dana had been talking about. There were rooms with big pools of water, airtight chambers, electric chairs and other torturous tools.
At the end of a long hallway, he came to a door. When he opened it, he found a large glass room contained inside. To the top right of the room, he could see an observation room and just below that, a glowing green tank. As soon as he saw that, he shielded himself, but the special glass seemed to protect him from it. The barrier of the room was double plated glass with a small space in between, holding a sprinkler system around the top. Stepping closer to the class he saw Dana, alone in the middle of the room, strapped to the table with her eyes closed, just like the vision he had seen of her when he touched her at the school. What seemed to be an intravenous hooked up to her arm, with the kryptonite, Dana had been talking about, steadily dripping from it. He
Looking around, Clark tried to find some way of communicating with her, without alerting the men in the room above. Finally he decided to use his sight to sever the tube that led into Dana's arm.
As soon as he did that, alarms went off all over the building, his vision seeming to have no effect on the special glass that contained her.
Between the two panes, kryptonite sprayed down form the sprinklers. He could see the scientists above, running around in a hurried frenzy. Looking back at Dana he noticed her start to move. She struggled against the metal straps, and then, letting out a forceful scream, she broke them. Trying to get up, she fell form the table, still with her eyes closed.
"Dana!" Clark yelled to her, as he heard people coming down the hall behind him. "Dana!" he yelled again, banging on the glass quickly. This time she heard him, turning her head towards him and opening her eyes groggily, trying to get up. As she opened them, beams of heat burst from them, hitting Clark's shoulder. He grabbed it in pain as he watched her struggle to control her power. The alarm sill rang sharply and the people behind him were getting closer.
"Dana!" he yelled, looking behind him, anticipating the guards' arrival.
"Clark, help me," she opened her eyes again, this time hitting a pipe that connected to the green tank behind her. The pipe hissed, somehow building up pressure inside the tank. He could hear the container start to creek. Dana rose to her knees, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. The whole room was disorienting.
