Chapter 23

Kidnapped

Lex was in his office literality fuming with anger.

Clark was an alien.

So the story that he had heard from the crop duster that he had wrote off as a crackpot three years ago was telling the truth. He had really seen a spaceship fall that fateful day 15 years ago.

Everything was falling into place everything had an answer. The meteor shower, the weird things that happened in Smallville, even Clark's miraculous rescues were clear in his mind.

But Clark an alien?

That just seemed crazy.

But at the same time it made sense.

His parents' protection of him.

The way his friends coved for him.

That air that always seemed to surround him that he didn't belong.

Yes it made sense.

But then one thing came to mind.

Why hadn't Clark trusted him?

He had been his friend hadn't he? At one time Pete had even been jealous of their friendship even to the point that he had tried to kill him when he had been under the influence of the Nicodemous flower. So why hadn't he told him?

Of course Lex knew the answer.

Clark had never trusted him. Since that first time he has investigated Clark that air or trust has been lost. The friendship had been regained but never the trust. Even though Lex knew that it was partly his fault that didn't make any difference his anger controlled him. Clark was going to answer his question whether he wanted to or not.

But how? Clark was so powerful. He had ripped off the roof of his car to save his life four years earlier. How could he bring him down? He paced in his office thoughtfully. Then something came to mind.

The meteor rock. Clark always seemed to get sick around it.

That has to be his weakness.

---------------------

Clark was in his room packing the last of his things into his duffle bag. Lana, Chloe, Pete and he had decided to go to Metropolis for the weekend. Since everything that had been going on with Lex the gang thought that some time away from home would do them some good. Chloe and Lana maxing out their credit cards. Pete and Clark going to a Shark's game, and going to the movies would surely cheer them up. At least for a few days they wouldn't even think about Lex Luthor. Clark had thrown his duffle in the truck when he realized that he had left the keys in the loft. Clark went and found his keys but he also found something else.

Pain.

All of a sudden he felt the effect of the green k. Soon he felt a blow to his head and everything went black.

------------------

When Clark regained consciousness all he felt was dulled pain. When he looked around him he saw way. He was surrounded my kryptonite. It was far enough away not to kill him but close enough to keep him weak. When he tried to get up he realized something else too. He was on what looked like an operating table, held down by restraints. Someone came forward from the shadows but it wasn't a surprise to who it was. Lex stepped out of the shadows.

"Lex, what are you doing?" Clarks asked.

"Finding the answers I've been looking for." Lex replied. "I realized that when I kidnapped Chloe that, that was a little extreme. Then I came up with a brilliant idea. Why should I try to force people to tell me the truth when I can listen in on their conversations and they can tell me them selves on their own free will?"

"You had a line on Pete." Clark said coming to realize what had happened.

'I thought that he as the most likely candidate. He had known you the longest. Been friends with you the longest. And what so you know I was right! And you know, I always knew you had secrets Clark but I never thought that they would be this good. But you being extraterrestrial? That just takes the cake."

Clark finally realized that he had been exposed and to the wrong person. Fear soon enveloped his entire being.

Lex continued his taunting.

"I always knew that there was something to you Clark. But this never came to mind."

"What are you going to do with me?" Clark asked.

'What am I going to do with you?" Lex said repeating his question. "I'll tell you what I'm going to do, I'm going to find out what makes you tick. I'm going to find the answers to the question that you would never answer. But first we have to wait on our other guests. I'm pretty sure that when you don't show Lana, Pete, and Chloe are going to wonder what happened to you. And when they begin to look I have some people out to bring them here.

Clark knew that he had no other choice but to go along with this. At least for know. But when he looked in Lex's eye's he noticed something that he had never seen before. Something that he had only witnessed in Lionel's eye's.

PURE EVIL.
