A/N: Before I begin: Ka-El was posing as Clark. So when Lex says Clark was his captor he is talking about Ka-El and so on and so forth. Also: Major Lana bashing in this chapter. Also nice reviwes make me feel warm inside, te he.

o-o-o-o

Whose eyes am I behind?
I don't recognize anything that I see
Whose skin is this design?

Ka-El was gone. It took Clark a moment to figure out what had happened…he was, well, free. He looked at his bruised and bloody arm. Now with Ka-El back inside him, he was slowing healing with his freshly returned powers. But then the thought came to him. "Lex…" he mouthed.

How could he explain? A week and a half had been hard under Ka-El's eye. But he had really been out to kill Lex. Lex probably got the worst of it, he realized. Silently, he swore.

I don't want this to be the way that you see me
I don't understand anything anymore
In this web that I'm tied up
Is taking me right up these walls
That I climb up to get to your story
It's anything but ordinary

The he thought back: Tina! He could blame her! The last time they fought (a/n I'm changing it for the story's sake) she had disappeared, so it was possible she was back.


And when the world is on its knees with me
It's fine
And when I come to the rescue
I get nothing but left behind
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?
'Cause you're what I need so very
But I'm anything but ordinary

Well at least he had some kind of excuse to work out. Now he just needed to go save Lex.

o-o-o-o

After over hundreds of stings Lex passed out. The last thing he saw though was someone in the door mouthing his name. Was it his captor, Clark? He didn't know how much more he could take. Then he fell deep into unconsciousness.

Can you save me from this world of mine?
Before I get myself arrested with this expectation
You are the one, look what you've done
What have you done?
This is not some kind of joke, you're just a kid
You weren't ready for what you did, no . . .

Chloe stood in the door way. Her lips curled into a frown, "Tina." She did her research. As a far as she could tell, it must have been Tina. She was last seen here in Smallville, but were she went from there was a mystery. Well Chloe was going to get Lex out, she had to stop Tina! Suddenly she felt someone hit her on the head and she crumpled unconscious to the ground.

"Sorry, Chloe!" Clark whispered.

He ran into the cave. He disconnected the camera and gathered all the scorpions. He took them all away. He then ran behind Chloe. He shook her awake, "Chloe! Chloe! Are you all right! I was fowling you here when I someone sneak up and…"

"Clark!"

He whined, "what?"

"SHUT UP! Lex is in there! You, take my phone, dial 9-1-1! I'll go get him! And anything else up in there…" Chloe snapped at him.

Reluctantly he took the phone and dialed.

o-o-o-o

Lionel sat down in the mansion. Lex was going to be so much fun to play with. Now if only Clark would show on time.

And when the world is on its knees with me
It's fine
And when I come to the rescue
I do it for you time after time
Everybody seems to be getting what they need
Where's mine?
'Cause you're what I need so very
But I'm anything but ordinary

Lionel sat and waited while drinking water.

o-o-o-o

Chloe woke Lex and helped him up the stairs.

As soon as he and Clark made eye contact, Clark saw the fear in his eyes. He turned to Chloe. "Tha ambulance will be here soon, but we should probably head toward the main road."

She nodded in agreement. "I told Lex who it really was. Clark, it couldn't have been you. I'm sure it was Tina."

Inwardly Clark sighed, happy for Chloe to come up with the excuse instead of him. To Lex he said, "Um, do you want me to carry you?"

Meekly Lex spoke, "Yes please…C-C-Clark. I'm reall not feeling to good."

Clark nodded and held him in his arms. Lex felt light and frail, in his arms. Probably needs to eat, he feels like he's lost wait, he thought.

I think I'm trying to save the world for you
You've been saving me too
We could just stay in and save each other

I'm anything but ordinary (ORDINARY)
I'm anything but ordinary (Ordinary . . .) . . .

The ambulance took Lex away. Clark got a ride home with Chloe. There was a lot of explaining to go around.

o-o-o-o-o

Lana opened her eyes. She could have sworn she was dead, she had felt the bullets attack her. But then she saw Death. He smiled at her. "Lana…" he whispered.

"How…how...do you know my name?" Lana stuttered meekly.

He held out a bony, beckoning, arm, he called, "I'm Death..the Grim Reaper. Your dead Lana."

She clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oh god…" she said.

"and Lana," he continued, "I know it wasn't the bullets. It was the drug overdose wasn't it?"

She nodded meekly as he continued, "Well Lana your going to hell. There's no make-up there Lana. There's no make-up remover there either. That means you're stuck with what you have on. That means your massacre will run for all of eternity!"

Her eyes widened considerably. "NOO!" she gasped.

"Yes."

To be continued with aftermath…

Thanks to my muse with the great plot idea! You know who you are. Smile, y'all, and have a great day.
