A/N: The story for Smallville is set in Season 3, after the Velocity episode where Jonathan Kent gets a heart attack.

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

Isabel always had full control of her powers, always, especially when she dream-walked. She used it so often on so many different people that she thought she had honed it well by now.

That wasn't the case when she tried to enter Clark Kent's dream. Oh she entered his dream, all right. It was staying there that was the hardest part. It was as if Clark Kent was trying to block her out somehow.

'But that's ridiculous,' she thought to herself. Finally, she was secure enough in his dreams. What she saw basically confused her. It was simple enough at first. Lana Lang was there. 'Figures,' she thought. All of a sudden, she heard Clark shout Lana's name.

She turned around and saw Lana engulfed in what appeared to be a tornado. 'Weird,' she muttered. It was what happened next that confused her. Clark Kent just disappeared from his position and instead had ended up at the foot of the tornado.

Isabel did a double take but before she could understand what the scene had meant, the dream changed. It was as if she was surrounded by a void. A void that contained different sets of colours and they rippled against one another, as if fighting for dominance. An explosion of crimson orange erupted in the centre and it slowly wafted to the bottom of the void. A thin black veil enveloped the void and tightened its hold, trapping the colours within it.

The black veil seemed to expand and something burst forth from it. Isabel realized that it was the colours red, blue and yellow. They seemed to amalgamate in synchronized perfection. This must have shocked Clark Kent somehow for he awoke and she was thrown backwards into her own consciousness.

She awoke with a start, startling Liz as well. "Whazzamatter, Iz?" she asked sleepily.

"Nothing, nothing. You go back to sleep, Liz. Just a bad dream," Isabel said.

Liz drifted back to sleep without question. "What are you, Clark Kent?" she asked softly as she stared at his photo.

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

"What a weird dream!" Liz exclaimed. "But then, teenage guys can only dream about being a superhero right? I mean, that's how he must have sped towards Lana?" Liz ventured.

Isabel gave it some thought. "You must be right," she said at last. She laughed nervously. "You know me, always finding for something that's not there," she said dismissively.

'But I know something's afoot. I can just feel it in my bones,' she thought to herself.

"Don't forget to return the photographs," Liz called out as she left the room.

"What photographs?" Max asked as he entered the room.

"Oh, nothing really. It's just a small oversight. Mrs. Kent was showing me some photos and they ended up in my bag. Talk about weird," Isabel lied. Max shrugged.

"Iz, I was thinking of getting a job," he said.

"That's good… right?" Isabel asked, confused. "Yes, but… I was thinking of asking the Kents if I could help out at the farm for a fee?" he said.

Isabel laughed. "Oh come on Max. You don't know the first thing about farming!" she said.

Max sighed. "We'll see what happens," he muttered as he left the room.

Isabel's thoughts drifted back to the dream. 'What did it mean?' she pondered.
