Thanks to everyone for all of the reviews, and thanks Elros and
everyone else for the suggestions, I will put in Wolverine, but not yet, he
doesn't quite fit in yet with my plans. As long as my imagination and
ideas stick with me I will be writing, or until my fingers give out because
of typing so much. Well here is Chapter Nine, I hope you enjoy and as
usual I do not own Smallville or X-Men.

Back in Smallville
"Interesting, very interesting." Chloe Sullivan murmured to herself watching the computer screen with an intensity that could make it explode at any second, that was if she had the ability to do that. On the suspicious computer screen was a copy of her friend Clark Kent's Birth Certificate, she also had another window, which had a copy of the Kent's adoption papers of Clark's. What was interesting was that his birth date seemed to be made up, the birth certificate didn't have any names at all just Clarks, mother and father both unknown. How could that even be possible, that they wouldn't know the mother? She would just have to do some more digging, but this was starting to get ridiculous. Also something very odd was the adoption papers had gone through rather quickly, no opposition at all, it was as if Clark Kent had dropped out of thin air. Chloe had a decision to make, either keep using the computer to find records or go in search of the answers from the very town that Clark had mysteriously appeared in. Without even having to think about her answer Chloe headed out the door of the school and headed toward town, someone had to know some thing and she knew exactly who that would be.
In Town
Chloe Sullivan walked the sidewalk of Main Street with a confident air about her, things had to be done and she was the one to do them. She spotted the place where she knew she would find something out, The Talon. She opened the door to the old theatre now restored into a coffee shop, the owner/manager none other then one of Clark's friends and ex girlfriend Lana Lang. Chloe looked around at the Talon it was full as usual but Lana was unoccupied at the moment, as she was just restocking the pastries. As Chloe neared the register Lana looked up and spotted her.
"Chloe, taking a break from writing I see, what would you like?" Lana asked with a smile, Chloe and her weren't best friends but they had been able to see past their differences...mainly Clark Kent, and were able to be friends.
"Actually I have a question for you, I'm hoping you will be able to answer it for me but I'm not sure." Chloe asked, going through all the possible responses that Lana could give her.
"Sure go ahead, I'm not busy right now, which is a first all day, why don't we go over here," pointing to a quite corner where no one was near, Chloe instantly knew that Lana knew that there was something up, and that this was definitely a private conversation. They sat down and Chloe got down to business, specifically Clark and his unknown whereabouts.
"Well ok, let me get to the point here, do you remember last week when you came to me and you couldn't find Clark." Chloe started off nice and easily she did not want Lana to get upset right from the start and not tell her anything at all.
"Yes, and I still haven't seen him since then neither has Pete or Lex. Do you think he's gone off to Metropolis again?" Lana asked worry could be heard very deeply in her voice.
"Well actually no, I asked his parents about it and they didn't sound worried at all, they said he was off visiting a cousin, but they didn't give me a place and I know for sure that Clark has no cousins, both of his parents were single children. Which means that they know where he is, and isn't telling anyone where he is." Chloe answered back, she hadn't told anyone about this yet, and she knew that it would come as a surprise to Lana.
"Why would they lie to his friends, and where in the world is he now." Lana finished sounding quite annoyed at the situation.
"Well that's why I'm here actually I think he went in search of his birth parents, but when I did some digging I found that there are no parents listed on the birth certificate, no hospital either. Weird isn't, but also his birth date wasn't listed, and it wasn't listed until the adoption papers. My question is this did Clark ever tell you anything about his search or anything at all? Chloe asked this question, and Lana was quiet for a while, taking time with her answer and then it came.
"He once told me that, the Kent's made up his birth date, and he doesn't know when it is. Something about that they found him." Lana told Chloe.
"They found him, well he never told me that...that puts a whole different spin on things, thanks for talking to me, and I will see you later." With that Chloe rushed out of the Talon and headed to the community library. All Lana could think was 'well there goes Chloe the reporter...what does she think she's getting onto?' Lana didn't even have time to answer the question when one of her new waitresses came over needing help with a large order that had come in while she was with Chloe. Lana gave a sigh and started back to work.
Chloe on the other hand had a whole mess of things going through her brain; she didn't have enough space to sort it so she had to write it down. She knew she was onto something she just didn't know what yet. Somewhere in all those thoughts she felt very concerned to the whereabouts of her friend.
************************************************************************
Well that is Chapter 9 I hoped you enjoyed it and I hope you will review. Your reviews do give me ideas for what might come next. But I do know what will come next for the next chapter...just haven't written it down yet. Well till next time. Bye.
