Previously: Charlie had gone AWOL and grabbed Jonathan by the neck and hung him out the window threathing, Clark and Lorraine hopped a plane to Small Ville and Chloe and Charlie had a huge disagreement. Oh yeah and Charlie Knocked Martha out. And this is the second to last chapter. Next chapter will be the last chapter. I am going to wrap this up the ending will be explosive I promise. Lately I am doing some of my best writing ever, so watch for it. Stay tuned.

Clark and Lorraine got off the plane and headed over to a pay phone. Since they were only there for little while they had no luggage to pick up let alone any carry on bags. Clark picked up the phone and immediately started dialing Chloe's cell phone number.

" Hello? Chloe?"

"CLARK! " She yelled through the phone.

" Yeah its me, look I'm on a pay phone so I don't have much time but are you in metropolis?"

" Yeah I was out for lunch with Charlie and he went nuts on me, I think he went to Small Ville."

" What do you mean he went to Small Ville?" Clark questioned

" I mean he well, ran to Small Ville ."

" Awesome just great " Clark said sarcastically ", ok then can you meet us at the airport? I kind of need a ride ."

" No problem, I will be there in 20 minutes, is Charlie's sister with you ?"

" Yeah ."

" Ok we may need her "

" I know, ok bye then "

" Bye ." Chloe hung up and walked out the restaurant to call a cab.

"Clark ?"

" Yeah ?"

" Is Chloe coming?"

" Yeah ."

" Is Charlie ok?"

" I don't know, but you remember what I told you on the plane about the meteor rock?

" Yeah ?"

" I don't want t use it but if you cant persuade him to give up his powers I may have too; he could be violent right now ."

" I know and I trust you but please please don't kill him ."

" I won't I won't ."

Martha got up from the floor and rubbed her temples . her migraine was like murder and she was bleeding from her hairline . She got up and went to the closet . Making sure to be absolutely silent she grabbed the meteor rocks and put it in her back pocket. She walked over to the bedroom to find Clark or Charlie holding Jonathan by the neck out the window and screaming to him.

" Clark please, calm down please " She advised, being careful not to make him anymore angry, this was not her son, she didn't know who it was, all she could so was call him Clark. But even that felt strange. Clark was mild mannered and when he got angry he took it out on objects not people, never anyone he cared for. Clark wouldn't even take it out on someone he didn't care for.

" I'm not your son, "

" I know that, please let him inside, don't kill him; he hasn't done anything to you ." She calmly said again

" He didn't listen to me when I told him to leave me alone." Charlie replied. Martha could hear him calming down in his voice.

" Can I ask? Who are you? "

" Charlie Baker "

" Where's Clark ?" Martha asked now noticing that Jonathan had lost consciousness. She needed to get him out of the window now.

" Probably in Chicago where I live. Not that I care "

" Please he's dying, you don't want to kill someone, please don't kill him, bring him in and we will talk about it ."

Charlie looked at Martha and then Jonathan then pulled him in.

" Thank you now lets go down stairs and get some tea ." Martha offered.

" Okay " Charlie said. Placing Jonathon on the bed and walking away to the stairs. Martha smiled and as soon as he left she ran to Jonathans side.

" Jonathan, it will be okay just wake up, I'm begging you, it's going to be ok, and I am going to find Clark. " She said kissing him and leaving to take care of this Charlie person.

Chloe picked up Clark and handed him her phone.

" Call your mom Clark, please make sure she is ok, Charlie was so angry, he. He really scared me ."

" Ok ." He said looking and Lorraine who looked like she was going to cry.

" Its ok Hun, we deal with this stuff all the time. " Chloe smiled and looked at her.

" I know Clark told me, its just that, it's weird you know? Hearing about Charlie being so violent ."

" In know but he's going to be ok. "

" I know " Lorraine winced a smile.

Chloe looked at her and gave her a hug.

" Hello mom?"

" Uh who's this? " Martha asked but she knew completely who it was but with Charlie so calm at the moment she would not use names.

" It's ok mom its Clark, I'm sure you know but that Charlie person has my powers and can be dangerous so please please be careful, I am in Small Ville but I think the only way to get my powers back is to get Charlie to the fortress and have Jor-el help us so, I love you and I will be back soon. "

"No I am sorry I am not interested in any carpet cleaning services. But thank you for uh, calling " Martha replied trying not to be overcome with joy that her real son was alive and ok. She hung up the phone and began pouring cups of tea and arranging plates of apple pie.

" Thank you. " Charlie replied in a Hannibal Lector way. A way that made Martha unsure of what exactly was going throughout his mind.

" So your name is Charlie ."

" Yes ."

" Why did you try to kill my husband ?"

" I was angry ."

There was silence

" How did you get here ?"

Charlie flashed a grin that had a likeness of Lionel Luther, while he sipped his tea not bothering to acknowledge the apple pies.

" Not sure really, I think something with a car crash and lightning ."

" What a bout Clark ?"

" No idea ."

" Does anyone else know about you being here? "

" Just Chloe Sullivan ."

Before Martha could say anything there was he was standing right in front of her. He had come thought the front door and looked Charlie or himself in the eyes.

" CLARK! " Martha yelled

Charlie immediately grabbed Martha and held his wrist around her neck.

" Take two steps, and I snap her neck."

Clark began to reach into his pocket for the meteor rock. At the same time he began staring right where he was reaching. Clark should have known what he was staring at or through rather.

" Your not going to attack me with that Kryptonite is you ?" Charlie asked laughing.

" What ?" Clark asked Shocked

Charlie Dropped Martha and went after Clark he super -sped over and picked him up by the neck exactly like how he had lifted Jonathan.

Martha saw this coming. She saw Charlie rip off Clark jacket and through it out into the other room. She had to save her son. She could see her son had no powers and was going to be killed.

She reached into her pocket for the meteor rock she had before in her pocket and held it out. She walked over to Charlie and held it right to his head. He immediately Dropped Clark and fell to the floor.

" Last time you ever hurt anyone of my family" She said the she repeated. She held it to him while she called out to.

" CLARK GET SOME DUCT TAPE FROM THE BARN "

" Mom! "

" GET IT NOW " She yelled again. Determined to inflict as much pain on Charlie as he had on her husband and son.

Clark got to his feet and ran out the door to the barn.

Lorraine and Chloe were sitting in the truck. They had devised a plan on the trip from Metropolis to Small vile. They saw run out to the barn. " Stay here please. I will be back ." Chloe said.

" CHLOE!" She yelled.
" Stay here if you want to live, something is wrong, Clark need help and I have survived these meteor power freaks for years. Please stay here ."

" Lorraine was speechless. She sat in the car while Chloe ran after Clark.

" Clark! "

" I need tape, Duct tape! " He rambled looking in big red metal tool dwarves.

" Here! " Chloe yelled tossing it to him. Clark missed the catch.

" You really need to work on your No powers athletic skills. " Chloe said

" And how exactly would I do that Chloe ?" He asked

" Well you could ..."

" Chloe I don't have time for this my Mom is in there alone. " He said running into the house. Chloe going back to the truck.

" Here mom! " He said tossing it to her, watching her catch it perfectly.

" What are going to do with it? " He asked.

She didn't say anything she just took the meteor rock and placed it onto his chest. She used to duct tape to cover it and tape it to him so they could bring him to the caves to bring him to the Fortress of Solitude.

" Take him now! " Martha yelled.

" Where? " Clark questioned even though the question was quite obvious.

" The fortress now! " She yelled. She stood over him and watched him wince and curl in pain from it.

Clark didn't say anything, Him and Martha just picked Charlie up and put him in the trunk of the truck and covered him with blankets. With him in the kind of pain he's in, he won't be able to remove the blankets. Clark got in the truck and started the engine. For once it started without a problem. He put it in drive and peeled out of the drive to the road leaving a cloud of dust behind him.

" Clark you ok? " Chloe asked

" Yeah it's just weird ."

" What ?"

" Meteor rocks affect well in a way I am watching myself. Watching myself in pain, but not feeling it, kind of likes a movie ."

" I guess is weird. "Chloe replied looking onto the road. The noticing how Lorraine was silent and looking in the back window at her brother in pain

" Lorraine?"

" Is he dying?" She asked

Clark and Chloe looked at each other. They knew in a way he was but they just had to get him to fortress and they were at the caves and didn't know how to awsnser it. They didn't say anything they just parked and got out without saying a word.

" Okay Chloe help me carry him in. " Clark said

Chloe and Clark lifted him and carried him into the caves. Lorraine followed and didn't say a word.

They carried him to the center of the caves and to the altar.

" Chloe you stay here and guard the cave, you've been frozen enough there; I will take Lorraine with me to help. "

" Ok she" replied " And Clark?

" Yeah ."

" I love you ."

" What?" He said stunned

She didn't say a word She grabbed him and held on to him she kissed him on. She made out with him and smiled. She placed her hand on his chest. " Go " She said

" Kay. " He said Holding Charlie up and hugging Lorraine. " And Chloe ?"

" Ya Clark?"

" I love you too ." He said placing the key into the altar on his way to the fortress.

On the trip thought the transporter, Lorraine looked around in awe. Her life had been so weird the past 24 hours and Clark and Chloe acted like it was normal.

They reached the fortress and Lorraine spoke. " Clark she kissed you ."

" I know and I liked it but right now your brother is more important. "

" Right ." She said.

Clark removed the meteor rock and handed it to Lorraine.

" Here Just in case ." He said

Charlie got up and looked at Clark and Lorraine. He went to Charge to Clark but Lorraine jumped in front of him.

" Charlie, please " Lorraine Pleaded.

" Lorraine why do you stick up for him? Did you not see the pain he just inflicted on me ?"

" I did but I also know you are getting out of hand. Please give back the powers and come home with me, to our family, our crazy whacked out life ."

Then the voice came

Kal -el why have you come?

" There was an accident and my. My powers are gone but he has them, I need them back, he is causing destruction.

You want to be kryptonian? You have been raise by humans and are yet to embrace your heritage

" I am working on embracing my heritage but right now if you don't help me the whole earth could become the next krypton ."

" Lorraine see, he doesn't even enjoy his powers why should I give such power to someone who won't even put them to use ."

" Because there not meant for you, they're not a part of you. You are a human born on earth. Please go back to being the Charlie I know and love. "

" I.I. can't..."

Then the room dimmed and lighting struck the both of them at the same time.

" NOOOO" Charlie yelled grabbing his chest as he began to levitate

Clark just ached and ached

Lorraine screamed "Charlie, Clark and ran to the other side of the dome. "

The room went black then Clark and Charlie were both lying passed out on the floor.
