It's been a month or two I guess since I last posted. The reason: A new
semester of classes which means more homework and less time, but it has
finally come to a lull, so I have time to right. (Cheers from my imaginary
crowd). So here is the long awaited Ch. 7. Enjoy!!
As Always I do not own Smallville or the X-Men.
************************************************************************
Back in Smallville
Chloe Sullivan was always someone to get to the bottom of a story or for that matter anything at all, and it was she who was always seen sneaking around town searching for her next big story. And throughout her short career as a newspaper reporter, (even if it was the school paper), she had always found the truth of a story, which was quite difficult in a town such as Smallville, Kansas with all of its secrets, and mysteries hidden away. Of course the biggest mystery of all was one neither she nor anyone else had been able to answer, where were the green meteor rocks from. Chloe had been able to find out the effects of the meteor rocks seemed to affect each person they came in contact with a bit differently, and some people had never been affected by them at all. The mystery of the meteors almost consumed her more now, then ever. She had felt deeply sorry for what she had done to her best friend Clark Kent. By looking into his past and who he was she had almost broken their friendship. Now she had broken her pact with Lionel Luthor and had lost her dream job at the Daily Planet, everything had its price, and her friendship with Clark meant a lot more to her.
However now she was starting to wonder, Clark was very open with the fact that he was adopted, and yet he didn't want her help to try to find them. He had to have come from somewhere, and she was sure that he wanted to know too. So after lots of thinking and observing Clark as his friend, Chloe decided to do something. There had to be birth records of some sort, so Chloe decided that she wasn't going to look into where he came from but where he came from. She would start in Kansas, because she did not think that any parents at all would just leave their small child on the side of the road. Besides Chloe felt that it was her obligation to help Clark in the search for himself. Wasn't she as a good friend supposed to at least do that?
Chloe shifted in her seat as she reviewed the medical files from Metropolis Medical Center. As far as she could tell, there was no one born with Clark's description, of course she knew that, this might come up, but she was having an extremely hard time finding anyone in the Kansas State records who could be Clark. It just wasn't out there. Her next step was to expand to the mid west and then to every state, well...maybe she would leave Alaska and Hawaii out for now, but somewhere there had to be a birth certificate. All she had been able to find so far were the records of the Kent's adoption of Clark. Chloe was just loading into a site for Nebraska when Lana walked into the room.
"Hey Chloe, Have you seen Clark lately? He's not at his house or at Pete's and obviously he's not here." Lana asked....it was a strange question for her to ask...but then again Clark always seemed to disappear so easily, now where was he?
"I don't know where he is but I'll look into it, he couldn't have gone far could he? Chloe answered.
"Yah, I guess your right, I'll see you later." Lana said in a daze not sure where to go next...had he gone to Metropolis again, she hoped not. As she left the room Chloe started to think...not about birth certificates and Clark, but about Clark and his secrets...what was it. She knew that he would tell her if he wanted to but the reporter inside her was just looking for a story. Chloe went back on the computer and started looking into piecing the puzzles of the story together...in the search engine she typed two words...Clark Kent.
Well that's chapter 7. Sorry for the delay...I swear teachers think that you have all the time in the world to do just their homework. Well I hope you enjoyed it...and the next installment will come sooner then this one did. Now it is time for you to review!
