"Chloe I'm glad you could join me tonight." Lex said as Chloe walked into his dining room.
"To tell you the truth I don't know why I came. I just felt that I should." Chloe said
"Please sit down and make yourself comfortable. Would you like a drink?"
"Not unless you have any soda."
"I'll see what I can do." Lex said as he called one of his servants in and gave her Chloe's request.
"Alcohol has always amazed me. How a seemingly innocent looking liquid can turn the most docile person into the exact opposite. I feel a something changing inside of me." Lex said.
"Are you drunk?"
"Not by alcohol. Before dinner I would be honored if you would dance with me."
"I really think we should keep this just as friends, Lex."
"I don't. Haven't you ever thought about it before? I know you have feelings for Clark but he doesn't see the spark in your eyes; the fire in your soul." Lex said as he went in for a kiss.
Before Lex could complete the kiss, Chloe slapped him knocking what little sense he had left back to him.
"Chloe I'm sorry I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me." Lex said as he noticed a small red dot crawl across Chloe's face onto his.
"Get down!" Lex yelled as a number of shots battered the dining room.
Clark had just gotten back from seeing Dr. Swann; Clark knew that he needed to tell his parents. He walked into the barn where his father was about to begin working on the tractor.
"Hey son glad you're hear, listen I know we've been putting off working on the tractor but we should go ahead and start." Jonathon said.
"Are you alright Clark you look miles away?"
"I went to see Dr. Swann." Clark reluctantly said as the discussion moved into the kitchen.
"I know you guys really don't approve of me talking to him but he's the only link to where I come from besides Jor'al."
"Clark if you feel that you can trust him then we trust him to." Jonathon said looking over at Martha.
"We just want you to be careful." Martha said.
"He thinks that everything that has happened to me over the past few years has all been a test."
"What kind of test?" Martha asked.
"I'm being tested by Jor'al so I'll become that man he wants me to become."
"Jor'al doesn't decide that Clark only you can make that decision." Jonathon yelled.
"I know Dad. Dr. Swann also told me Lex has a Kryptonian artifact that could hurt him and people around him. I know Lex isn't my friend anymore but I don't want him to get hurt."
"What are you going to do?" Martha asked.
"I have to confront Jor'al."
