A/N: This is a story set after 4th season finale.

Clark Kent ran as fast as he could to find some sort of civilazation.

"People must not even know about this area of the world!" Clark said to himself frustrated. He kept running in every direction but there was nothing anywhere. It was getting dark he would have to turn in sooner or later, he had to find shelter and fast. For some reason the sun would set pretty quickly. He remembered seeing a cave not thirty miles back. He ran quicker now that the sun was starting to set and finally found what he was looking for.

Lois sat there as she watched the last of the meteors hit. She cried quietly to herself as she climbed back into her car. She had to go look for Chloe, she might still be in Smallville. As she drove along there was a meteor in the middle of the road. She got out of her car and started walking. As she walked she saw a few dead bodies in the streets. Some were the faces of people she knew personally. When she saw a crashed helicopter a huge pile of mud and a girl sobbing in pain.

"Lana?" Lois yelled. Lana turned around and saw Lois.

"Lois!" She cried. A very small smile appearing for a few moments. Lois ran over to her, when she saw her leg.

"Are you okay? What happened?"

"The helicopter I was in crashed I'm the only one that lived." Lana said.

"Listen Lana, I know you probably want to get out of Smallville but I have to find Chloe." Lois said.

"I understand." Lana said.

"Listen, I can help you back to my car and you can wait there."

"That will be good." Lana said. Appreciation in her voice. Lois did as she said. She took her back to the car and left her there. "Thank you so much Lois." Lana said as she sat there in the car.

"No problem." Lois said as she walked off. She looked everywhere, except on place that she hadn't thought of until then. "The caves." She said quietly. She ran to the caves when she saw a familiar face. Lex Luthor.

"Lois Lane. Nice to see you." Lex said.

"Where's Chloe?" Lois said.

"I don't know."

"Fine. Excuse me." Lois said as she walked past him and climbed quickly into the cave. She walked around every corner, when finally she saw a face that she thought she would never see again.

"Lois?" Chloe said as she sobbed.

"Choe!" She ran over to her cousin, who lay on the ground and couldn't get up. "Chloe what happened?"

"Lex." Was all she said.

"Chloe, stay here." Lois said.

"Like i have a choice." Lois climbed out of the cave, Lex still standing there.

"You jerk! You slimy dirt rag! You Ba--"

"She told you?"

"Of course!"

"I suppose my years of planning has finally payed off. Clark Kent will have to come save her."

"What?"

"In fifty seconds that cave will explode. And everything in it will too." Lois' eyes opened wide, she ran as fast as she could and went to Chloe.

"Come on!" Lois yelled as she picked her cousin up from the ground. Chloe couldn't walk. Lex had done something to her that made it completely impossible for her to walk.

"Fifteen seconds." Lex yelled down the cave. Lois picked Chloe up completely

"How is this going to work?" Lois said as they reached the area where they needed to get out.

"Lois leave me!"

"Are you kidding? You better be Chloe, because i am not leaving you!" Lois mustered up all the strength she had and started climbing the ladder. She was almost to the top when she started slipping, five seconds left. She pushed Chloe to the very top Lex dragged her away. Three seconds, she started climbing the ladder, there was no time. Two...one...there was a huge explosion, fire and smoke everywhere.

"NO!" Chloe screamed, "NO!"

"Well, you should be able to walk in a half an hour, have fun waiting." Lex stood up and left. It was twenty minutes later, there was no sign of Lois, but there were sounds coming from the cave. Ten minutes later, her legs began to feel odd it was another five minutes before she decided she would crawl. Chloe could hear her name. She looked down the tunnel, well, what was left of it and saw some hair. To her surprise, Chloe realized she could walk now. She stepped down to the very small tunnel.

"Lois?" Chloe said, her voice shaky.

"Ch-chloe?" Chloe heard a small voice say. Chloe dug around a little bit when she found the face of her cousin.

"Lois!" Chloe was amazed to see her cousin. She dug up the rest of Lois. Her body was a little bit screwed up. Her leg was bent the wrong way, both of her arms were bloody.

"Chloe!" Lois cried.

Clark was having a dream, a dream about destruction a dream about pain and fear. And then it all went away. He had a dream about himself, he dreamed he found Smallville again, and him working at the Daily Planet, he dreamed about Lana going to the other side of the world to be away from him, he dreamed Chloe would always stay by his side, and he dreamed about his parents living long very happy lives, and then dying peacefully, he dreamed Lois working at the Daily Planet with him. At this he woke.

"It was just a dream." Clark told himself sternly. "A bad dream." But Clark couldn't get back to sleep. That dream couldn't happen. Could it? No, no it was just a dream. No a nightmare, but still it couldn't be a nightmare, I found Smallville in this dream, and i worked at the Daily Planet and Chloe will always be my friend and my parents will live happily! This couldn't be a nightmare! He sat there thinking about the one part that shocked him most. Lana leaving.

"What am i thinking?" He found himself saying out loud. It's just a dream! Clark fell asleep a while later. He dreamed the same dream but he kept sleeping, he dreamed Pete would die, in a car wreck. Then he dreamed about the people as he did before, but he saw himself flying he saw Lana getting married to someone he's never seen before, he saw Chloe writing novels, Lois next to him he didn't know where. And he saw Lex Luthor finishing what his father started, learning who he is and other things. And before he woke he saw Lois her leg twisted and her arms bloody and her stomach bleeding like mad. He woke up, panicked. He left the cave at that instant, running faster and faster he ran until mid-day no sign of Smallville anywhere.

"Chloe. Lana's at my car." Lois said hardly walking.

"Okay." Chloe said struggling with Lois.

"Sorr--ow!" Lois fell over.

"Lois! Are you okay?"

"Yes, Chloe. I'm okay. Even though my leg feels like it's going to fall off and my arms, well...i can't feel my arms."

"Sorry. Listen Lois, we have a problem."

"And what's that?"

"I can't hold you up."

"What?"

"I-can't-pick-you-up." Chloe said, trying again.

"Listen Chloe, go get Lana, drive my car to the closest store and call an ambulance to pick me up." Lois said sensibly.

"Are you sure?" Chloe asked.

"Yes. Now hurry!" Lois yelled at her upset.

"Going! Wait...Where's your car?"

"Just outside town! Now go!" Chloe ran off. Lois looked around, to see if she could find anything exciting to look at. When she saw a face of a dead body. Someone she knew perfectly, a boy named Johnny Carter. One of her only friends there in Smallville. She looked away quickly.

"Lois? You survived? How?" Lois looked over and saw Lex. It was her worst nightmare, someone who tried to kill her, found her again. She could only use one leg to try and kick him.

"Impossible." She muttered. She tried to think that she wasn't scared, but she was.

"It is impossible! I Set off a granade!"

"I was almost out of that tunnel, i fell, i threw the granade to the very end of the cave and started climbing, i was so close to getting out. I fell again and it exploded. I didn't realize it was so powerful, i would've been more careful if i knew." Lois struggled to say. Her leg was throbbing with pain.

"Well, you won't survive this time Miss Lane." Lex said his eyes shining. Lois tried to push herself away with her one-available body part. Her leg. "Don't try." Lex said watching her try to get away.

"You're not a Lane if you don't try." Lois said. Lois wasn't looking to get away. She saw a gun.

"No Lois. Get away from the gun." Lois stopped. He knows...he knows...she thought losing all hope she had in her.

"Yeah Lois. I know." He grabbed a pocket knife. "How would i like to get rid of you...fast and painless, or slow...slow and painful. I think...that after all the pain you've been through it's only reasonable to make your death, slow...and more painful than you could imagine." He put the pocket knife away, and grabbed a bigger knife, and slowly sinked it into her stomach. Her screams were loud, he took the knife out of her stomach and left her there, to die alone. There was only one hope of survival. And that was someone to take her to the hospital for immediate care. But she knew that no one would come. She closed her eyes, tears streaming rapidly down her face, and everything went black
