Chapter 1
Parker finally reached a farm house, which he assumed from Lex's directions was the Kent's house but he still wasn't quite sure. He noticed that there was only one truck in the driveway but he went ahead and decided to knock on the door anyway hopping someone would be home. Mr. Kent answered the door.
"Hello." Mr. Kent said.
"Hi, I'm Frank Parker. Does a Clark Kent live here?" Parker asked.
"Yes, but he's at Metropolis University in class." Mr. Kent said.
"I really need to talk to him, do you know when he'll be back?" Parker asked.
"He'll be back sometime this afternoon. What do you want with him?" Mr. Kent asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I just work for the government and need help stopping Lex from a project he's working on." Parker said. In the blink of an eye Clark was at the gate of the house walking to the front porch that Mr. Kent and Parker were talking on.
"Where did you come from?" Parker asked Clark.
"Metropolis University." Clark said covertly. "Where did you come from dressed in an orange jump suit with a helmet?" Clark said quickly changing the subject.
"I actually need to make a quick phone call, can I borrow you're phone?" Parker asked.
"Sure." Mr. Kent said as he brought out the phone.
"Um… can I have some privacy?" Parker asked.
"Sure, Clark let's go inside." Mr. Kent closing the front door, leaving parker on the porch.
Changed to Clark's point of view from now on….
"Clark eavesdrop on his conversation. I don't trust him." Mr. Kent told Clark.
"Ok." Clark said as he started to eavesdrop.
"Conundrum..." Parker said... "I have to stop Lex from blowing up Smallville. And there's another problem Lex has the Sphere. I'm at the Kent's house; Clark was the only one who survived the explosion. So I'm going to start here. And you owe me a vacation... "
"Well take care of getting the sphere back and you work on stopping the explosion from happening... Good luck." They said.
Parker opened the front door and handed Mr. Kent the phone. "Thanks." Parker said.
"I'm going to do my homework at the Talon if that's ok dad." Clark asked.
"Sure just don't forget to put gas in the truck." Mr. Kent said.
"Can I tag along? I need to get new clothes from town." Parker asked.
"Sure." Clark replied as they got into his truck.
"I need you're help." Parker said.
"So what part of the government do you work for?" Clark asked.
"I'm not at liberty to say." Parker said.
"I need you're help stopping Lex from doing one of his chemical experiments." Parker admitted.
"What kind of experiment is it?" Clark asked.
"I have no idea." Parker replied.
"When is he going to do it?" Clark asked.
"In 6 day's." Parker said. "It's a very dangerous experiment."
"How do you know it's dangerous if you don't know anything about it and you only know the day he's going to do the experiment?" Clark asked.
"Um... I'm not at liberty to say." Parker said.
They drove up to the Talon. "There's a clothes store a few store's down the street." Clark said. "There's nothing to worry about if you just know the day he's gonna experiment. Lex is a smart person he's not going to do anything stupid. See you around town." Clark said as he dropped him off and went into the Talon to do some homework and order a cup of coffee. The door of the coffee shop slammed so hard Clark lost all concentration in his homework and looked up.
"Clark how did you do it?" Lex yelled storming in the Talon.
"Do what?" Clark asked.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Lex said shaking he was so mad."All the files I had on you are gone. Everything dealing with my meteor research has vanished from my mansion."
"You were still investigating me? You looked me in the eyes when you handed me all the information and destroyed all the info from the car wreck." Clark said angry.
"Security camera's in my mansion were erased." Lex said. "How do you think someone got into my mansion without being noticed and stopped the security camera's?" He continued to yell. "Even the level 31.3 experiments are missing, no one other than me knew about level 31.3."
"I seriously don't know what you're talking about." Clark said. "But I might know who does."
"Fine tell me who then." Lex said sarcastically.
"Frank Parker." Clark said. In a quick attempt to cover up any suspicion for his powers.
"Hi, Clark we never finished talking." Parker came in to the Talon dressed in jeans and t-shirt.
