Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Kortbone-I just go with the flow of the writing I plan some things out, but I don't think Lex will appear in this story. But you never know. I'm going to give you the same warning as last time about the switching of Point of Views. As always I do not own Smallville or X-Men. Now on with the story.

Cory burst into the clearing and stopped near a piling of ordinary rocks and sat down to rest before he began his work. He had wanted to get this done quickly; so he had ran most of the way once he was out of site of the town, there had been no reason then to look anonymous. He was almost certain that no one had followed him, so there was no need to worry at all. Slinging his backpack off of his shoulder he set it on the ground, and unzipped it bringing out the contents once more into the open air. The green meteor rocks shinned brightly reflecting the sun's rays. Cory placed them in front of him as he sat down on the grass, his back now to the rock piling. He then stretched out his arms so they would be directly over the pile. He then closed his eyes and concentrated.

There were two parts to his ability. When used on humans or other mutants it would tear them up from the inside, if done long enough he could kill. When dealing with ordinary objects though, he could fuse them together. It didn't have much use in daily life, but in special cases like this one it was very important. This was the whole reason why he had been chosen to complete his mission. He enjoyed the fact that he was needed and the great Magneto had chosen him, but did they really have to send a babysitter with him to make sure he wouldn't mess up. Sure Mystique had her uses, but she couldn't do what he could. He was now feeling the power pulsate through his arms, he opened his eyes the meteor rocks were glowing green and attracting to each other. This was a slow process and would take a while. He moved his hands so he could control the now active meteor rocks. He had been told that they were very volatile and to be careful. Well he would be as careful as he wanted, he didn't really care. As long as he didn't die he could still have his revenge. The meteor rocks were now hovering above his hands as they were now facing upwards. Slowly, but surly they were fusing, soon they would be ready, but for now he must wait.

Clark Kent stood just outside the forest clearing hidden by the trees; Cory hadn't noticed him yet. As he watched him closely he knew that there would come a point where he would have to act, but for now he just waited. What could he do, if he interrupted Cory now, he would be hurt. Just looking at the Kryptonite, (meteor rocks) glowing in the air made him feel a little dizzy. He knew enough to stay as far away as possible to not be affected, but still be able to see what Cory was doing. When he had come out here for his revenge, he hadn't been sure what to expect, but when he saw those meteor rocks he became scared. Clark remembered what had happened to Pete and to Bobby, for some reason Cory's ability didn't affect himself, but he knew that those meteor rocks would. Something was happening to the meteor rocks, he couldn't tell what, but it was as if there power was becoming stronger over him, he stumbled to the ground behind a tree so he wouldn't be seen. It was getting harder to breathe, his head was throbbing. He glanced over to see Cory holding what looked to be one complete whole meteor rock, one of the largest that Clark had seen. He then realized what Cory had been doing. He had been fusing meteor rocks, but why? That was the question. He knew he had to warn the others. The would be the only ones who could fight the Cory know, with that huge of a meteor rock, Clark would be a goner. Clark stumbled to his feet and started to try and run at super speed, but found he couldn't, in fact he couldn't move anywhere has he fell to the ground. As he looked up he saw the smiling face of Cory looking back at him.

"Well, Well, Well what do we have here. Clark isn't." Cory said full of him self, being very happy right know with the completed project in his backpack. It almost didn't fit. He was tired, and a little bit exhausted from using so much of his ability to create this wonderful work. Clark wasn't talking back. "Well it looks like you're not up to yourself today. Maybe my ability took more of an affect on you then I thought it would." He paused enjoying Clark's pain for a moment. "Perhaps you would like a little more." Cory raised his hand at Clark and released the pain to come.

Clark still couldn't feel any of the affects of Cory's ability, but he was feeling the affects of that meteor rock. He could feel himself slipping under as he fell unconscious to the forest floor.

"Looks like you're not as invulnerable as I thought you were." Cory snickered to himself, glad to be rid of this annoying mutant once and for all...or whatever he was. "Two down and only three more to go." He said to himself as he walked through the forest, and back toward the town of Smallville, silently waiting to accept its destiny as the town of mutants everywhere. Now the world would see what we can do, Cory thought to himself.

Smallville Medical Center

Chloe Sullivan had been in the waiting room for over an hour when shouts began to be heard through out the hospital. She could tell it was from Vice Principal Kane, this could not be good. A nurse closed the door so the noise wouldn't disrupt other patients in the hospital. Chloe sprung from her seat to see what was the matter, going to the window outside the room. There she saw Vice Principal Kane screaming at the nurses, the doctors, a police officer and his family. He was pointing at Bobby and then at Pete who were in the beds in the same room as him. Chloe then realized what Principal Kane was saying; he was trying to tell everyone who and what Bobby was. He then saw her outside the window and motioned at her. She tried to get away but it was a helpless cause, a nurse caught her and brought her into the room. She felt like she was being interrogated or something.

"She was there too, and I bet she has known all along." Vice Principal Kane stated angrily to everyone.

"Ms. Sullivan, I'm Officer Miller, do you know what Mr. Kane is talking about?" The officer asked. Chloe faltered for a few seconds..."Well Ms. Sullivan."

"Um...what is he talking about?" Chloe asked trying to stall for an answer.

"Mr. Kane believes that one of your fellow high school students a Bobby Drake is a mutant. He also believes you have known this fact for a while now. Is this true?" Silence filled the room as the Officer spoke. Chloe didn't know what to say. She couldn't betray Bobby, and there was no way she was telling them about the rest of the mutants at the Kent farm. No doubt the Kent's, Clark included would get in trouble. "You should know Ms. Sullivan that this is an official investigation, and we need you to tell the truth." Officer Miller said sternly trying to get the answers that he needed.

"Um...the whole truth?" Chloe asked.

"Yes Ms. Sullivan the whole truth." Vice Principal Kane yelled at her. The officer glared at him and the Vice-Principal quieted down.

"Please Ms. Sullivan, I will listen to every thing you say and take it all into account." Officer Miller said, thinking that Mr. Kane had gone a little too far. In questioning him it was clear to see that Mr. Kane was one of the people that did not like mutants. Miller him self did not like mutants either, but was willing to give them a fair chance if they were involved with a crime. Living in Smallville the police had gotten used to dealing with the strange things that happened around her. Many of which were attributed to so called 'meteor mutants'.

Chloe was deep in thought during all of this silence. She had to tell them, but they would have to listen to the truth. "Bobby is a mutant, but he wasn't the one who attacked Vice Principal Kane. Another mutant named Cory was the one attacking all of them Pete and Bobby included." Chloe quietly explained, this was all she would say, otherwise trouble could come.

"I see, do you know where Cory went?" Officer Miller asked.

"No, he just ran out of the room," Chloe told the officer ignoring Vice Principal Kane's snickering.

"Thank You, well then I think this investigation is over. Chloe I would like you to stay here, I assume Bobby doesn't have any family here?" The officer asked.

"No he doesn't," She said quietly.

"You're just going to let him go, once he's out of the hospital?" Mr. Kane exploded.

"Yes I am, he doesn't appear to have any ill will towards people...by the way Ms. Sullivan what can Bobby do?" Officer Miller asked.

"He can freeze things with ice by touching them or with his breath." Chloe explained the best she could.

"Well then, I see no reason why he would be dangerous." Officer Miller then directed his attention to the medical staff in the room who were just as stunned as the rest of them. "I would like you to move Bobby and Pete to a different room, for their safety, and contact me when either of them is awake." The doctors just nodded their heads to this unable to say a thing. Mr. Kane and his family were stunned and didn't say a thing as Officer Miller and Chloe left the room, while the nurses were moving Bobby and Pete to a new room.

"Thank You Officer." Chloe said stunned at how well things were turning out.

"No, Thank You, I will be dispatching officers out to try and find this Cory. Do you mind if I get a description of him from you?" He asked.

"No, not at all," Chloe said and then began to speak as much of what she remembered of what Cory looked like as possible. They sat down in the waiting room as she talked, and the officer listened. Things were now going smoothly, the hospital was quieting down but whisperings of what had happened could be heard everywhere. The officer left, and Chloe picked up her cell phone. There in its memory was the phone number that she was looking for. It started to ring, and finally someone answered.

Scott was watching out for Ororo and Logan, it had been a half an hour and still there was no sign of them. He was starting to get worried that he would have to go in there alone with out full force, when his cell phone rang. "Hello" He said quietly hoping it was one of them.

"Hello, this is Chloe, I though you should know that Vice Principal Kane is up, and he told an officer about Bobby."

"Oh no," Scott said quieter now, knowing that within the hour there would be either police swarming the place or reporters ready to ambush.

"I know what your thinking, but I did damage control. I explained what happened to the officer and he believed me when I told him that Bobby was innocent. Also Bobby and Pete are being moved to a different room from Mr. Kane." Chloe said trying to help.

"Thank you that helps a lot. Please stay with them, it could get a bit difficult." Scott said.

"Of course, Goodbye." Chloe said, leaving Scott with a headache on the other end of the line. This day was just getting worse and worse as the hours went on. He could see the headlights of the truck coming over the horizon. It was about time, they had work to do. While he was concentrating on the truck, Cory slipped out of the forest unseen by Scott. Sirens could be heard in the distance of the police, and TV trucks from Metropolis were on the way, a nurse had informed them what had happened. The quiet of the night had been broken.

Ok that's Chapter 25. Thanks for reading, please review, you know it helps. A final thanks to Nightwing509 for editing this chapter. Till next time, adios.
