Uninhibited
2 HoursClark and Chloe watched as Palmer stood outside the hospital and breathed in the mist. The only thing they could do was wait for him to come back inside and hope that the serum worked. After about five minutes, Palmer turned and walked back inside. He acted as normal as he was when he first left the hospital. Chloe walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Dr. Palmer are you okay?" She asked.
"I'm sorry my dear but I don't know who Dr. Palmer is." He said.
"Then who are you?" Clark asked.
"They call me The Atom." He said.
"I think the mist is working." Chloe said.
"Someone is coming." Clark said.
A blue Honda pulled to a stop in front of the hospital and a young woman stepped out and ran inside.
"I guessing the tall drink of water here is Clark Kent." She said.
"Yes that's right." Clark said.
"Who are you?" Chloe asked.
"I'm Angel Morris, Dr. Palmer's assistant." She said.
"Don't tell her who I really am." Palmer said.
"Dr. Palmer told me the whole story I guessing that he's under the effects of the disease." Angel said.
"That's right, he wanted to test the serum on himself." Clark said.
"Do you have the serum?" Angel asked.
"It's right here." Chloe said as she handed her the vial.
"Good let's get him to a bed and test this stuff." Angel said.
"There aren't any beds left the whole town in infected." Chloe said.
"We can take him back into the lunchroom." Clark said.
"Let's go." Angel said.
Clark, Chloe and Angel took Palmer back to the lunchroom. There they gave him the injection of the serum.
Palmer was motionless then he started to convulse very rapidly. He did this for a few seconds then stopped moving. A few seconds later Palmer began to gag and cough, and then Palmer opened his eyes. He looked around the room unsure of how he got into the room. He looked at Clark and then at Chloe and finally at Angel.
"Angel, how did you get here?" He asked.
"I just got here. How are you feeling?" She asked.
"I feel fine." He said.
"Does that mean the serum worked?" Chloe asked.
"Yes, it worked fine." Palmer said.
"We need to get to work." Clark said.
"Angel, Chloe and I will administer the serum. You need to dispose of the mist." Palmer said.
"How I'm I going to do that?" Clark asked.
"I think I have a idea." Palmer said.
Clark and Palmer went into a large empty storage room of the hospital. It was a large and cavernous room. Palmer had with him a vacuum cleaner and a bottle of powder.
Clark stood at one end of the room and eyed Palmer oddly.
"Dr. Palmer we don't have time for this."
"Clark do you know what your capable of doing with your lungs?" Palmer asked.
"No, not really." Clark said.
"Clark, I'm willing to bet a whole years salary that you can do something with you r lungs that you never thought you could do." Palmer said.
"What does that have to do with the mist?" Clark asked.
"Everything. You could blow the mist away or freeze it or you could vacuum it up." Palmer said.
"Vacuum it up?" Clark asked puzzled.
"Yes, think about it. You could vacuum the mist up and place it in a container where I could destroy it." Palmer explained.
"And what if it doesn't work?" Clark asked.
"Then we try something else, but first you need some practice." Palmer said. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out his light he then took an old mop and lit it on fire. He held it up and waited for the sprinkles to come on.
1 HOURChloe and Angel first went and gave the serum to the people around who they could not take to the hospital. However they were too late to some of the town folk had succumb to the disease the mist caused. As they finished administering the serum to the folk down town they used the last of the first thousand vials.
Chloe and Angel then headed back to the hospital for the next batch of serum.
"How many more do we have?" Angel asked.
"Well Smallville has a population of 45,001 and we've cover about a third of that." Chloe said.
"We're not going to have enough time are we?" Angel asked.
"We better I promised my cousin that we could." Chloe said. Then they headed back to the hospital to get more serum. When they arrived at the hospital, they went to the lab and got more serum.
"Where is Clark and Dr. Palmer?" Chloe asked.
"I don't know maybe we should look for them." Angel said. As they walked down they hall they pass by storage room. They were both shocked when the door flew off the hinges. They looked inside and saw Dr. Palmer and Clark standing in the room. They were both drenched from head to toe and water was still falling on them.
"Okay Clark give it a try." Palmer said. Clark exhaled a long breath. Chloe and Angel were both shocked when the water in the room began to turn into snow and then ice. Clark then took a long inhale. All the ice and snow in the room was sucked into Clark's lungs. Palmer took the powder and flung it across the room. Again Clark inhaled and all the powder was sucked into his lungs.
"That was amazing!" Angel said in awe.
"Perfect, Clark now the rest is up to you." Palmer said.
"Chloe, you and Angel and Dr. Palmer start giving the serum here in the hospital. I'll give the serum to the rest of the town and then take care of the mist." Clark said. A second later he was gone.
"Let's do what he said." Palmer said.
30 MinutesIt took Chloe, Palmer and Angel a half-hour to give thee serum to the people in the hospital. They were nearly done, the only people that were left was the Kent, the Luthors and Lana and Lois. Palmer walked into the Kent's room and took out the vial of serum. Chloe followed him in.
"These are Clark's parents." Chloe informed him.
"They are amazing people, they took in that boy and raised as their own and they never cared if he was from another planet or another town." Palmer said. He then gave them the serum. Chloe and Palmer watched as the serum worked its way thought the Kent's bodies. Jonathon was the first to wake up. He looked around the place and then focused on Chloe and Palmer.
"Chloe, how did I end up here?" He asked. He felt someone holding his hand. He looked down and saw Martha.
"Martha, are you okay. I'm fine now." She said then kissed her husband.
"Chloe what's going on?" Martha asked.
"I got other patients I'll be back." Palmer said then he left the room.
It took Clark about five minutes to give the remaining towns people the serum. Then he headed for the windmill. He climbed up the ladder and looked over Smallville. He could see the large fine cloud of mist hanging over Smallville. He took the container the Dr. Palmer had given him.
"I hope this works." He said to himself.
He licked his lips. He then started to inhale as hard as he could. He could feel the suction that he was causing. He looked over thee town and saw that the cloud had not yet moved. He was about to try again when he saw the cloud slowly start to move his way. Ever so slowly the mist began to enter his lungs. Clark felt a burning sensation in his lungs, most likely it was from the Red kryptonite. It took Clark a full two minutes to inhale the whole cloud. He then opened the container and exhaled all the cloud into the container. He quickly put the cover back on.
Clark felt satisfied. Then he started to get an odd sensation all over his body. He knew that it was from the red Kryptonite. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his small lead box and flipped it open. The bright green kryptonite quickly did its job on Clark. He fell to his knees. He could feel his blood boiling in his veins. He struggled to get his cell phone out of his pocket and hit Chloe's number.
Chloe was filling Lois in on what had happen when she heard her cell phone ring.
"I'm in the hospital and you get phone calls." Lois said.
"It's Clark, Lois." Chloe said.
"From, Smallville no less." Lois added. Chloe disregarded Lois' comment and answered the phone.
"Clark?" Chloe said.
"Chloe, help……me….." Clark said weakly over the line.
"Clark, I'm on the way." She hung up the phone and ran out of the room. She went found Dr. Palmer. He was with Lex and Lionel.
"Uh, Dr. Palmer I need to talk to you it's important." Chloe said.
"Chloe, please." Palmer said.
"Clark's in trouble." She said. Palmer looked at her and nodded.
"If you two will excuse me." He said.
"Chloe, what's wrong with Clark" Lex asked.
"Just a small reaction to the serum nothing big." Chloe told Lex. Palmer and Chloe left the room.
"I wonder what they don't what you to know?" Lionel said.
Outside of the room Chloe quickly filled Palmer in.
"I never thought of that." Palmer said.
"Thought of what?" Chloe asked.
"Do you know where he was going to inhale the mist?" Palmer asked.
"Yes he was going to the wind mill." Chloe said.
"Take me and hurry we don't have that much time." Palmer said.
Chloe pulled her car to a stop. Her and Palmer raced towards the windmill and up that ladder. When they reached the top they found Clark out cold. Next to him was thee lead box and his kryptonite. Palmer took out a hypo and injected Clark with the serum. They both waited as the serum worked. Chloe then closed the lead box and looked at Clark. He was still out and now not breathing.
"He's not breathing, we'll have to start CPR." Palmer said. Palmer and Chloe quickly began doing CPR to Clark but it was not working.
"Not again, Clark don't you do this to me." Chloe said.
"Come on, kid." Palmer said.
"Let me try something" Chloe said. She then leaned over and kissed Clark.
"Do you really think that's going to work?" Palmer asked.
"Who knows?" Chloe said. They both watched for a few moments. Clark opened his eyes and saw Chloe and Palmer over him.
"What's going on?" He said.
"The last time I check Prince Charming was suppose to wake up Snow White with a kiss not the other way around." Chloe teased. He friend was going to be okay
