A/N: Hey Guys, here's the next chapter!
Chapter 5
The mark of Return
The light came towards them, they couldn't stop it nor could they get out of the way.
Soon they were all pined up against the cave wall. Pete felt a stinging sensation on his arm like he was being branded then everything went black.
Pete woke up with a start. He thought it had all just been a dream but he was suddenly pulled back to reality when he saw Lana and Chloe lying beside him.
" Hey guy wake up!" he exclaimed as he shook them.
"What was that?" Chloe asked as she regained consciousness. When she tried to stand up she gowned in pain and fall on the wall for support.
"Chloe are you ok?" Lana asked.
"Yeah I'm fine it just feels like my back has been stuck with a million needles." Chloe replied.
"Oh my goodness not again!" Lana exclaimed. When she said that Pete turned his attention to Chloe's lower back. Her shirt had been burned off where she was feeling the pain and there was a strange tattoo like mark on her back that he knew was Krptonion.
"I have one too." Lana said as she showed Pete the seared shirt she wore. Pete looked at his own clothing and noticed that he had the same exact mark only it was on his forearm.
"I just wish someone would tell me what's going on." Lana said.
"Well I don't think were going to find those answers tonight, but we need to get out of here before Lex finds us in here." Chloe said.
Clark had spent three long months being taught the knowledge of the universe from Jor-El now it was over. He wished he could say that Jor-El was different but that hadn't come about, he was the same cold, aloft father he had always been nothing had changed. He was just glad that this phase of his destiny was over and maybe he would be able to dodge the next one. More than all, he was glad he was going home.
