Okay, here's your next chapter. I don't think I did my best on this one, I wrote it kinda quickly. I wanted to post something before I went to bed. Sorry if it's kinda crappy.
Ami sat in her library, fuming. How dare Robert order her around? She was two years older than him. He had no right to tell her what to do. If he wasn't careful, he was going to end up missing. Permanently.
"Ami, you in here?" Katrina knocked on the half open door, poking her head it. Ami looked up and nodded.
"I'm going out. I want you to come with me. There's a club not to far from here. Come on, my treat." Katrina offered, and Ami sat back to consider it. She had numerous appointments in the morning, but nothing that couldn't be pushed back to the afternoon.
"Let me get changed and I'll be right with you. Bring the Cobra around to the front; I'll be out there in fifteen minutes." Ami left her office, locking her door as she left. Ami and Katrina separated on the stairway, Katrina going to the Garages, Ami to her room.
Fifteen minutes later, Ami Danielle Rubix was walking out of the front steps of the Rubix Manor wearing her clubbing clothes. Silver shiny mini-skirt, purple tube top and black duster lined with purple satin to match. She had knee high boots on, with black translucent pantyhose.
In the driveway sat a red and black 2005 Shelby Cobra. The seats were red leather, with a black mahogany dashboard. Katrina sat at the wheel, wearing gold and black. As Ami slipped into the front seat, Katrina saw their father look out of a window. Katrina could almost see the annoyance on his face from this distance.
"Later, Daddy!" Katrina called, waving as she floored the gas pedal on the car. It roared out of the driveway, spraying gravel on the manor behind it.
Lex was bored. He had no appointments for tonight or tomorrow, and couldn't find anything he needed to work on in Lexcorp. He tossed the idea of going to see Clark around, looking at his watch. It was only seven thirty. And it was Saturday. He was probably hanging out with Chloe and Pete in his barn. Maybe he would go visit them.
Or maybe he'd go out and hang out at Smallville's very own club, the Black Angel. It was a very shady establishment, people sometimes got hurt in the place. Most people were either incredibly stupid or incredibly brave to enter the place. But Lex had paid the bouncers in the club quite a bit of money to make sure he didn't get harmed in the place.
'Black Angel it is, then.' Lex thought, leaving his office, grabbing the keys to the Ferrari before he left.
"This place is great! I don't know why I don't come with you more often!" Ami yelled over the pounding music. The beautiful twins had turned down offers to dance for quite some time, Katrina not finding anybody she liked, Ami preferring to dance by herself.
"I know! I've only been here once before, but I liked the place as soon as I walked in. A person could get killed in here, and no one would know." Katrina replied, maneuvering her way to the bar.
"Disarono on the rocks." Katrina told the bartender, flashing her I.D. The bartender snatched it from her, viewing it very closely. It was real, and told her age. Just twenty one. Katrina flashed the bartender a smile as she took her I.D back. He did a double take when Ami came up behind her, ordering a strawberry daiquiri. But he didn't ask for I.D.
"Well, well, well. Look who's here." Katrina said, pointing to Lex Luthor, who was currently making his way towards the bar. Dressed as usual in black slacks and a dark blue dress shirt, he spotted the two girls and strode purposefully towards them.
"Hello, Lex. Get bored at the Luthor manor?" Katrina asked, setting her empty drink glass on the bar.
"As a matter of fact, I did. I came to see if it was worth tossing back a few drinks. Apparently it is, if two ladies of your standing appear to enjoy it. Apple Martini, if you don't mind." Lex ordered, and Katrina eyed Lex as he sipped his drink.
"Well, I'm going to dance. Don't drink too much, Katrina. Someone needs to drive home." Ami left Katrina and Lex.
"Well, would you care to dance, Katrina?" Lex asked, hoping he got the name right. Katrina's blue eyes sparkled, and she nodded.
"Call me Kat, Lex." Katrina and Lex walked to the dance floor, Lex taking the chance and snaking his hand around her waist. A rhythmic song began to pound through the speakers as they reached the dance floor.

Katrina and Lex danced, bodies mere centimeters away from each other. Lex could feel her body heat; something was in excess in the crowded club. His hazel eyes were focused on Katrina's brilliant blue eyes, her gaze focused on him.
On a platform above, someone was on a cell phone. No one was up there but him, it was used for lighting.
"She's going to get in the way. She's to inquisitive for her own good. Kill her, if possible, and anyone she's with. Both of them would do get you double pay." Click. The man readied his rifle, and pointed down at a raven-haired twin on the floor.
Ami looked up, realizing something wasn't right. She looked around for Katrina, and found her in a mass of people, all over Lex. She rolled her eyes looked up and saw a shadow that looked awfully a lot like someone with a gun. Ami cursed violently, startling several people near her. She pushed her way through the crowd, trying to get to her sister. Was he aiming for her, Katrina or Lex? Or possibly someone else?
"Katrina! Katrina, get off the floor now!" Ami cried, but both were too wrapped up in each other to hear her. Ami pushed through two people glued to each other, and pushed Lex and Katrina towards the bar as a shot rang out.
Lex heard the shot just as Ami pushed them towards the bar. He grabbed Katrina and shielded her body with his as the fell to the ground. The music stopped, and there was mass confusion.
"Oh my god, somebody call an ambulance!" Somebody screamed, and Lex looked up. Ami was lying on the floor face down.
"Ami?" Katrina asked, trying to run back towards her sister. Lex pulled her back.
"You're safer under here. Whoever shot her may have been trying to kill you." Lex said, and Katrina blinked. Why would someone want to kill her? She never did anything wrong, she never made any deals with anyone.
Ami picked her head up off the floor, groaning. She felt the bullet pierce her skin, but after that, all she felt was her head smacking the floor.
"Miss Rubix? My name's Mark, I'm a paramedic. Do you remember anything?" She heard the paramedic ask, and Ami blinked.
"My sister? Where's Katrina?" Ami asked, trying to sit up. A pain in her side made her fall back down.
"You sister is with the officers and Mister Luthor. Are you in any pain?"
"Yes, I'm in pain. I just got shot, you idiot. Of course I'm in pain. Just patch me up and I'll be fine." Ami said, and tried to sit up again. Her shirt was ruined. Feeling her wound gingerly, she realized the bullet must have just grazed her.
"You need to go to the hospital to get stitches. The wound isn't bad, just sliced open your side. Do you have any injuries?" Mark asked, and besides the splitting headache, Ami couldn't feel anything else.
"No, I've just got a headache from hell. I need to see my sister." Ami said, and tried to sit up again. This time she felt dizzy and fell back down.
"Okay, you've got a concussion too. We'll get you on a stretcher and then your sister can see you."
Katrina stood outside beside the Cobra and Lex's Ferrari when a paramedic walked up to them.
"Is she okay? Can I talk to her?" Katrina asked, and he nodded.
"She wants to see both of you. She'll have to stay at the hospital overnight for observation but you can come by tomorrow."
Katrina practically ran towards the ambulance that had her sister in it. She climbed in beside her sister, who was trying to stay awake. Lex stood just outside.
"Lex, take her to your place. It's not safe at home. Make sure she stays with you. I'll be fine by morning. You know me, Katrina. And don't trash my car, or you're going to pay for it." Ami told her sister, as the paramedics got ready to leave. Katrina climbed out of the ambulance, but Lex stayed at the door.
"Keep her safe for me, Lex. I trust you to do that." Ami told Lex as the closed the doors.
"Here. It's a spare room that most my guests use because everything is right down the hall. Don't be afraid to call one of the night maids if you need anything, or my room's right over there. "Lex told Katrina, opening a door to a bedroom suite. It was trimmed in silver, blue and green.
"Thanks. You know, you really didn't have to do this. I'd be just fine at home. I don't know why someone's trying to kill me, but if they wanted to do it, they could do it here too. It's not like our places have any less security." Katrina said, and Lex shrugged.
"Your sister asked me to take you to my place, and who am I to ignore the requests of a Rubix?" Lex asked, rolling his eyes as his phone rang.
"Well, goodnight Lex. I'll see you in the morning." Katrina said as Lex excused himself and stalked to his office.
"Lex? Is Ami okay? I saw on the news what happened." Clark's voice was heard.
"She's fine. Slight wound to the side and a concussion. She's staying overnight at the hospital. Katrina and I are going to see her in the morning." Lex told Clark, and he could hear Martha in the background.
"Alright. I'll meet you there. I've got to go, Lex. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, bye Clark. And be careful."
Lex hung up his phone and left the office, intent on heading to his room for a hot shower and bed. He heard Katrina on the phone with someone, probably her father by the sounds of the conversation.
"No, I'm not in his room. I'm in a guest bedroom. I'll be fine. This place is just like home without all my stuff. Seriously, I'll be fine. Yes, I'm going to see Ami with Lex in the morning. No, I don't know who did it. I'm betting someone hired the guy to try to kill Ami and me because we're the prime heirs to the company. No, I'm no saying its Robert, Adrian or Marcus. It could be…Dad; they want the company but know that unless Ami and I die, they're not getting it. They're afraid of what Ami's going to do when she gains control of the company. They want to control it. Don't give me that. You know how devious your sons can be. If they want the company, they'll try and get it. Now, I've got to get some sleep. Goodnight." He heard the snap of her cell phone and decided to take a look inside the slightly open door. He wished he hadn't.
Katrina was changing into a nightshirt that she had found in one of the wardrobes. Lex saw a tattoo on the small of her back as she pulled her shirt over her head. The tattoo was of a pair of cherries. Lex swallowed and pulled his head out from the door. He had changed his mind. A cold shower would work very nicely in the state he was in right now.
Katrina turned and heard Lex walking past her door. Shrugging, she finished changing and climbed into the large bed. 'Oh, this is nice. A feather mattress with silk sheets and overstuffed pillows? If this is what he gives his guests, I wonder what's on his bed. I'm going to have to ask him where he gets this stuff from. This is fit for kings.' Katrina thought, turning out the light and snuggling under the blankets. She fell asleep quickly, feeling somewhat comforted knowing there was someone she could trust nearby.
"Hi. Clark, was it?" Ami asked as Clark, Lex and Katrina came in her room the next morning.
"Yeah, that's me. I thought I'd bring you a little something, because so far you haven't had the best welcome to Smallville." Clark said, slightly awkwardly, setting a bouquet of flowers beside her already flower-filled beside table.
"Thanks. I can't wait to get out of here. Dad called and told me he couldn't make it by, he had too much work to do. Apparently, he told all of my contacts that he'd take care of them until I was better. Poor man's going to give himself a heart attack." Ami said, sipping the Iced Cappuccino that Katrina had brought her.
"Yeah, no kidding. He could have given them to me. I could handle it, I think." Katrina said, stepping aside to let in Mrs. Kent.
"Hi, I'm Martha Kent, Clark's mom. I figured I aught to meet the woman my son was worried about all night." Martha said, and Clark blushed and looked away.
"All night? Really? That's certainly new. I barely even know your son. He's got a kind heart." Ami said, and Clark's blush deepened.
"Well, it was certainly nice to meet you, Ami. I've got to run." Martha left, leaving an awkward silence in her wake.
"So, how was your night, Katrina?" Ami asked, raising her eyebrows. Katrina rolled her eyes.
"My night was fine. I went to Lex's house, like you asked, and I fell asleep about ten minutes later." Katrina said, avoiding looking at Lex.
"Well, I'm sure you slept well. I was kept up all night, stupid doctors worried about me-Marcus? Wow, I'm touched. You actually came to see me. What-" Ami said, and Marcus sucked in a breath.
"Shut up. Dad was just brought in. He had a major heart attack."
Okay, slight cliffhanger. The fact that he had a heart attack is relevant to the story, and you'll find out later why. Just, please, reveiw?
