Chapter 5

Chosen Ones

Pete didn't know what to do, his best friends were practically on top of Clark past and Pete had the answers. Should he tell them? He had promised Clark that he would keep his secret, but he never told him what to do if they found out for then selves. I mean Lana and Chloe were getting deeper and deeper into Clark's life defending him from Lex and they didn't even know why. Shouldn't that be a sign though? That if Lana and Chloe were covering for Clark now and they didn't know wouldn't they do the same ting if they knew? Then there was the ET factor. He didn't know hoe they would react. He remembered the day Clark told him everything how he had walked around Clark examining him like some freak. Not one of his finer moments. Even how for one millisecond he was afraid of his best friend. He shuddered at the memory. What if he told them the truth and they rejected him? Would they be better off living in oblivion than know the truth? Now he knew how Clark felt all those years. His thoughts were interrupted when his cell phone went off. It was a text message from Chloe that read "Going to look for more answers met me at the cave."

When he arrived at the cave all the men were gone again and he couldn't help but feel little ascetical that this wasn't a trap form Lex. He remembered what he had told him a year before when he had pulled the fed off of him. How he knew that Clack had told him the secret and not him. That was the only thing that worried him about being back. That Lex would try and get answers out of him. Sure he was leaving for Met U next month but Lex could track him down there, then again he could track him down anywhere. That was one reason he had comeback, if people wanted answers from you it didn't matter if you tried to run they would find you anyway so you might as well stay where you are and not look as guilty. When he entered the cave Chloe and Lana were already there.

"So Pete what did you find out?" Chloe asked.

"What?" Pete asked confused, " Chloe, you called me here,"

"Wait a second I got a message saying that both of you wanted to see me." Lana asked worried.

"Something's not right." Chloe said.

And none of them had to wait to find out what the problem was. After Chloe spoke they started to hear footsteps coming toward them. They started to try tog get out but a chilling voice stopped them in their tracks.

"I know your in here don't try to leave." It was Lionel's voice.

"What do you want?" Chloe asked and you could hear the fright in her voice.

"You have no reason to fear me, I'm not going to hurt you." Lionel said. "I'm a changed man."

"You're not going to try to hurt us?" Lana said "A year ago you tried to blow Chloe out of the sky, you put a Fed on Pete, and then you sent Genevieve Teague after me; and your telling me that you mean us no harm?"

"You must believe me I am a changed man." Lionel replied.

"A changed man?" Pete said with agitation in his voice. " I may have been away for a year but I'm not clueless. Chloe informed me that you went on a sabbatical from evil but didn't you sent Teague after Lana when you were suppose to be a "Good Guy?"

" You must really try to believe me I'm relaying a message." Luthor replied.

"What message and for who?" Chloe asked.

"Jor-El, " Lionel replied in a voice so sincere that it scent chills up the gangs spines.

"When Pete heard that his heart jumped in his throat, but he had no time to react. Lionel continued:

"You are the chosen ones." With that he started to glow and all of a sudden a beam of energy shot toward them.
