Chapter 8 : The best of you

Jonathan, Martha and Clark ran out to see what was going on.

" Ethan what's happening?" Martha asked.

" 911 recieved a report of child abuse in progress, when we got here a little girl was beaten up pretty badly, Do any of you know her?" He asked.

" Her name is Katy Parker, she moved here about 2 months ago" Clark explained.

" Do you know anything else about her?" Ethan asked.

" Nothing useful" Clark said.

I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

The Kent's sat in the waiting room for quite sometime.

" Kathryn Parker?" A middle aged nurse asked.

The Kents stood up.

" Follow me" The nurse instructed.

They took an elevator up 2 floors and then turned to the left.

The nurse took them to a small room and said " The doctor willl be with you in a minute"

Clark figured it was now or never. He had to tell his dad about Katy's powers.

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose

" Dad I need to tell you something" Clark said as he averted his eyes to the floor.

" What is it son?" Jonathan replied, laying a supportive hand on Clark's shoulder.

" Promise you won't freak out?" Clark asked weakly.

Jonathan nodded. He knew from experience that when your son asks you not to freak out, it was something bad.

" Katy ..., Katy knows my secret" Clark stated.

" Clark..." Jonathan said in a warning tone of voice.

" Wait there's more" Clark said.

" How much more could there possibly be?" Jonathan asked. He was frustrated at his son because he didn't know Clark's motives.

" Katy, said if she could tell me a secret and I said yes, So she told me that she was found by the Parker's after they slid off the road.

She also said that they also found a small spaceship" Clark said.

" Son, I have very hard time believing that, she could be making it up" Jonathan stated in a matter-of-fact tone.

" She isn't" A voice came from the room that did not belong to any of the Kent's.

" Who are you?" Martha asked.

" I'm Doctor Leah Blake, Katy's personal Doctor" Leah said.

" I'm Jonathan Kent, this is my son, Clark and my wife Martha" He said as he shook her hand.

" Nice to meet all of you" Leah said.

My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

" How's Katy?" Clark asked.

" Right now she's in the pediatric intensive care unit" Leah said as she sat down.

" Doctor, how severe are her injurys?" Martha asked, concern was at it's fullest in her voice.

They all saw her take a deep breathe inwards and let it out.

" The odds are against her... by a landslide 10 to 90 Percent of full recovery. Right now I'm not even sure if she's gonna make it through the night" Leah said with a sad look on her face.

" And if she lives?" Jonathan asked.

" I won't lie to you" She replied.

Another breathe.

" Her ankle has been severely damaged, the bone was almost completely shattered. She is seriously underweight, right now she only weighs as much as her younger brother and he's almost 3 years old and weighs about 29 LBS" Leah said with a sigh.

" She took a direct hit right above her left temple which can cause some serious brain damage. She has a series of bruises and gashes and open cuts all over her body. 3 cracked ribs, Spinal swelling and a fever that she contracted from an infection" Leah said.

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

" I need to know how you found out Katy's secret" Leah asked.

" She told me" Clark said.

" Has she told anyone else?" Leah asked.

" I don't know" Clark said.

" Katy, Katy,Katy you're grandpa's gonna have a fit when he finds out" Leah said to herself.

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

" Can we see Katy?" Martha asked.

" I'm not supposed to do this since you're not immidiate family but I guess since you seem to be Katy's only life line, I will allow you to see her at anytime" Leah said.

Leah led them down the hall.

She stopped and entered a corridor which led to another hallway.

There was a nureses station out in front. Overhead there was a sign that said " Pediatric intensive care unit".

Leah brought them to a room labled 6 PICU.

There was a large glass window sitting in Clark's view.

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Behind the glass lay Katy in a unconciouss state.

" When Katy got here she slipped into a coma, all we can do is pray to god and hope a miracle will happen" Leah said as she walked away.

Clark stared through the window as if he was in a trance.

Katy had tubes up her nose, an IV and several other pieces of equipment attachted to her.

Jonathan gently gave Clark a nudge and led him into the room in which they would spend their night in.
