Clark sat at the counter at the Talon and watched Lana pick up empty cups of coffee. He looked towards the doors as they opened. Lex walked in a flashed Lana a smile as he headed towards the counter. Sitting beside Clark he nodded at him. "Good morning Clark." Lex said calmly. "Morning." Clark replied. "I want to thank you again Lex." Clark said. Lex looked at him with confusion. "For investigating the crops." Clark explained. Lex smiled. "What are friends for Clark?" Lex said patting him on the shoulder. Clark nodded. "Two?" Lana asked walking around the counter. "No, only one." Lex said as his mood slightly dropped. Clark looked at him with concern. "You're not going out with Vivian today?" he asked. "Vivian and I decided that… our past was to great a memory to ruin." Lex said. Lana handed him his latte and leaned on the counter. "You two were almost perfect. I'm sorry to hear that." She said. Lex nodded. "Some people just… aren't meant to fall in love." Lex said with a forced side smile. Lana shook her head and put her hand over his. "There is someone out there Lex. You just have to wait." She said. Lex sighed and smiled as he picked up his latte. "I'll see you two later." He said raising his cup as a farewell before walking out of the doors. "I can't believe that Vivian just left." Lana said. "She seemed really good for Lex." She said. "You can't always know a person from what they appear to be." Clark said. Lana smiled and nodded as she walked back around the counter to help customers.

Lex walked into his office and his eyes fell on something on his desk. He walked to it as a smile graced his face. It was an onyx statue of an Egyptian cat. Lex picked it up and took the envelope from under it. Opening it he pulled out a note.

Something to add to your growing Cleopatra collection. Take care of my love.
Vivian

Lex smiled as he put the note back into the envelope and ran his hand over the statues head as if petting a cat. As his fingers slide down its back he felt a groove that caught his attention. Looking at it he saw it was a cut in the statue. He pulled out the small compartment hidden in the stone and smiled seeing a picture of he and Vivian back at Halton Boarding School. They were sitting at tables in the library each reading a book on each other obsession. She read Alexander and he read Cleopatra to find out more about each others love. He walked around the desk and turned the cat so that it faced him as he sat down. He moved it over to the side of his desk and smiled at it. "Take care of mine." He said softly.

Clark and Chloe walked into the Torch office and set down their things. Chloe's eyes fell on an envelope on her desk. "What's that?" Clark asked. "I have no idea." Chloe replied. She walked around to her desk and sat down before picking up the envelope. Without a second thought she opened it and pulled out the contents. it was a cd and a memory disk from a camera. Chloe put the cd into the computer and loaded up the file. "It's Vivian's life story." She said to Clark with confusion. Clark walked around the desk and sat beside her. "What are the pictures?" he asked. Chloe put them into the computer and pulled them up. There were pictures of Vivian as a child with Lex and her parents as well as newer pictures of her with men Chloe wasn't familiar with and a single picture of a shadow Clark recognized. "That's…" he started pointing at the picture. "Catwoman." Chloe finished. Chloe pulled up the story as he and Clark read it. "I have to put this to print. The Planet will definitely notice this one." She said as she read.
