I don't own Smallville or superman I am just a fan.
Later on that day at about three pm Chloe and Clark stood outside the Luthor estate looking up at the stone castle. "Weren't there more of us?" Chloe asked. Clark looked around "Lana was supposed to meet us but I guess something came up. Let's go inside." Inside the Luthor mansion was empty and they found Lex sitting at his desk twirling his keys around his index finger. "Is this all of us?" He asked surprised that Lana wasn't there. Clark shifted uncomfortably as if he were responsible for Lana's absence. Lex stood up and stretched "Well let's get going, we've got a long drive ahead of us."
As soon as they got to the car Chloe insisted that she sat up front so Clark squeezed in back. Half way through the trip it got quiet so Clark reached up front to turn on the radio. The music blared out at him "UNBREAK MY HEAR-----T, SAY YOU LOVE ME AGAIN." Clark yelped and put his hands over his ears. Lex swerved the car and almost hit a tree and Chloe sat and sang along with the music as if nothing was wrong. Lex switched off the radio and they drove the rest of the way in silence.
By the time they got to Luthor Tower in Metropolis It was six forty five pm and time for dinner. They went up to the pent house and ordered Chinese food to be delivered and then played monopoly of course Lex had won. "That's Boardwalk with a hotel Clark," Lex grinned "Fork it over." Chloe sat across from Clark and watched the exchange glad she had skipped that space. "Ohh, ouch Clark that must have hurt." she remarked before she almost fell off of her seat from laughing too hard.
The next day Clark and Chloe went to the metropolis museum of art. Lex stayed behind in the penthouse because he said he had work to do. Chloe and Clark returned around lunch time to discover the place was a mess. The windows were smashed, and the wind was blowing in and scattering papers. There was overturned furniture and broken glass all over the place. Clark stepped into the room ahead of Chloe. "Lex!" he called out knowing he would find no one there. he had already scanned the entire place using his
X-ray vision and his super hearing. Chloe stepped out from behind him." Oh my god." she breathed.
"Don't worry Chloe we'll find Him. Right now we need to check out The security tapes." Chloe looked around the room and saw nothing "What security tapes? There are no cameras in here!" Clark pointed to several spots in the room but Chloe still saw nothing. "There hidden Cameras Chloe." Chloe made a face at him. "Ok Mr. Smarty Pants how do we check the Cameras?" Clark walked over and picked up Lex's Lap top off the floor. Chloe raised an eyebrow. Clark grinned "Lets get started were gonna need to know who did this and how to find them.
Chloe booted up the computer and got past the password in less than three tries. "Clark leaned over her shoulder, when he saw the password he laughed."I think Lex is gonna need a better password." Chloe grinned then continued to search his computer for the link to the security cameras. "I found it!" She cried out. Clark rubbed the side of his ear "Oww Chloe you don't have to yell I'm sitting right here." Chloe pointed to the screen "Look he's got cameras in the garage and the back alley too. Wait I think that's them. The license plate says 'R2D2C3P' Ohh, I get it they must be a star wars fan. Kind of dumb to use that as there get away car."
Chloe ran the license plate number through the computer and found out that it belonged to a Professor J. Hamilton and the address listed for him was right here in metropolis. "Well let's go pay The Professor a visit." said Clark. Chloe and Clark hopped into Lex's car. "Lex would so kill me if he knew I was driving his car." Chloe said as she started the ignition. Clark grinned "I'm sure he won't mind as long as you don't drive it off a bridge."
When Chloe and Clark pulled up to the address listed they where surprised to find it was an old ice cream factory. "Well you can't make an Ice cream Sunday without the nuts" Clark grinned. Chloe walked up to the front door and pulled on it nothing happened, Clark laughed "What you expect them to leave it open for you?" Chloe stuck out her tongue at him. "No smart ass, now help me up I think this windows open." Clark knelt down and let her climb on his shoulders and then lifted her until she was level with the open window.
Once they were both inside they had to wait for their eyes to adjust to the dark green fluorescent glow of the room. When they did they saw tanks of water with green lighting in the back ground and female bodies floating in them. Chloe stepped forward into the green glow and into the center of the room Clark fallowing reluctantly behind. All was silent, somewhere off in the distance was the steady dripping of falling water.
The bodies floated eerily around them, as silent as the grave. their pale faces and flowing hair were starting to give Clark the creeps.
Clark stepped past Chloe and up to a wall of jars filled with floating organs that glowed green. As soon as the green glow flooded over his skin Clark felt his strength begin to waver and he began to grow weak. "Chloe this stuff is starting to give me the creeps. Let's get out of here!" He groaned. "Yeah, me too." agreed Chloe. Clark stepped away from the jars over a large power chord and towards a heavy metal door in the back of the room. Chloe got there first the door swung open and inside they found a small dark room with a bed and a chair. In the corner a woman was huddled. When the light hit her face she screamed "NO, OH GOD, PLEASE, NO, NOT AGAIN!"
Clark looked at her, her clothes were torn, her face was dirty and her hair was tangled. But he recognized her. "Lana?" he said gently holding out his hand. She looked up at him her face full of tears. "Shh, it's Ok we've come to get you." she stood up and took a step toward him. "Cl-Clark" she stuttered and took a step closer. Somewhere behind them they heard gunfire go off and someone yelling. Clark looked around. He pushed Lana back in the room, pulled Chloe in with them and pulled the door shut. "Clark what are we
doing?" Chloe asked. "We are hiding" they heard footsteps run past the door then silence. "Is it safe to come out now?" Chloe whispered.
Suddenly the door swung open "Hey what are you guys doing in here" Lex stood in the doorway holding his bloody arm where a bullet had pierced him. Lana, Clark, And Chloe all looked up from the corner they had huddled into. "Oh my god, you almost gave us a heart attack" cried Chloe. They all got up and walked out of the room. "We have to get out of here" Cried Lana as more gunfire exploded down the hall. "Don't worry I called the cops." replied Lex.
As they were walking past the jars of green glowing organs again Clark suddenly felt dizzy and tripped over the large power chord on the floor sending sparks across the floor and setting fire to the entire lab. "Genius Boy Wonder" quipped Chloe "Let's get out of here before we become barbeque." All four of them ran down the hall that Clark and Chloe came from earlier but at the last minute Lex pulled them down a different hallway and said "This way, there's an emergency exit over here."
All of them escaped into Lex's car and drove back to metropolis Lex and Clark shoved in the back seat. Chloe was driving. "Clark I think we need to get Lana and Lex to a hospital." "NO!" Lex shouted. then he repeated more softly "No I'll be fine I have a doctor waiting for me at home. he can look Lana over too. I don't want any of this information getting out to the public, so no hospitals. Please just keep driving."
"Ok" replied Chloe they drove the rest of the way in silence.
Chloe pulled up to the Luthor mansion and went around the other side of the car to help Lex get out. Clark helped Lana up the steps and through the doors to the study. As the four of them entered the room they stopped and stared at the scene before them. There was the Clone Lana standing over the Dr. with a knife. He was obviously dead. She looked up and Screamed. "Why couldn't you Just be happy I was Alive I went
through a lot of trouble to move the body of the other clone before I came over. But NOOO you weren't happy you had to go investigate and bring home that little BITCH!" She pointed at Lana. Lana shrunk back in terror. The clone screamed and ran at Lana with the knife.
"Wow she's nuts!" thought Clark as the clone came closer and closer to Lana. Lana screamed and hid behind Clark. Chloe reached for the sword hanging on the wall and yanked it from its display, as the weight of the sword brought it down the hilt crashed into the clone's forehead leaving a deep gash sending her sprawling backwards on the ground. She got up again and came at Chloe once more. She realized that with four people she was out numbered. She took a step back and tripped over the Dr.'s lifeless body. As she fell backwards Chloe gasped in horror. The clone hit her head on the corner
of Lex's glass table. the injury was fatal. Lana peeked out from over Clarks shoulder "I guess it's time to call 911."
Half an hour Later the police came and declared the Clone dead. Lex had told them they didn't know who or what she was. The police had assured Lex they would look into it. Fallowed closely behind the police where Clarks parents. If they had anything to say he would be grounded for the next 20 years. Clarks parents offered Lana a ride home. Lana thought it would be safer to strap her self to a rocket at this point.
So she hitched a ride home with Chloe leaving Lex alone to call the carpet cleaners.
