"Tell me how your dad is doing when you get there." she said to him as she watched him walk out the door. Isobel went back upstairs and laid in Clark's bed. She reached her hand up to her locket, she always fondled it. Her eyes widened as she noticed that it was gone. She tried to remember what happened after she had lost control. She couldn't, she couldn't tap Lana's recent memories. She needed to complete that spell, now. The last thing that she needed was Clark's blood and she would get that when he came back. Now content with her newly organized plan she laid back on Clark's bed and drifted off into sleep.

Clark sped to Chloe's house and knocked on the door. Chloe came running with a cheerful smile.

"Morning Clark." Chloe was still in her pj's but she was wide awake, all thanks to the cup of early morning coffee that she'd held in her hand. "Come in." she opened the door even wider and Clark greatly obliged. "So how's your morning goin?" she sat down at the table as Clark placed his bag on the floor.

"Not so great actually."

"Why?"

"Isobel has been really moody lately, and not to mention that this morning she was puking her guts out. Then I offered her something to make her feel better and she spit it out all over the place."

"Exactly what did you offer her Clark?" it sounded a bit familiar to Chloe.

"Just a little bit of red wine. I thought that she was just drowsy. It peps my mom up in the morning."

"You gave her alcohol?" Chloe was astonished to say the least.

"Well, yeah." Clark looked at his feet.

"Wait, Clark I'm gunna ask you something very personal. Ready?"

"Well there isn't anything worse that you could know so shoot." Clark readied himself for her 'personal' question.

"Ok, umm, have you and Lana, or Isobel whatever umm, you know?" Chloe was trying her hardest not to be blunt.

"No I don't know. Have we what?" Clark wasn't exactly as quick as his superspeed.

"Are you two, sexually active?" Chloe almost whispered the last part.

"WHAT?" Clark was very surprised.

"I told you it was personal wonder boy."

"Yeah." Clark admitted, the embarrassment was apparent on his face.

"Well Clark, I think that Lana is..." Chloe trailed off hoping that Clark would get what she was saying. He could be so thick at times.

"That Lana's what?"

"Pregnant." The reality of what Chloe had just said hit Clark like a ton of bricks.

"But that's impossible. Every time that we have ever, you know, we always protected ourselves." Clark had a serious case of denial. He began to feel light headed.

"Well you don't know that. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings Clark, but you don't know if what protects humans would protect Lana from you. It is highly possible that it doesn't. Just like human alloys and whatnot can't hurt you. Maybe normal latex condoms don't stop your little guys either."

"Oh my god." Clark felt queasy. He couldn't handle a baby yet. What was he going to do? But maybe Chloe was wrong.

"Clark, are you ok?" Clark shook it off.

"Yeah, now show me what new information you found on Isobel."

"Ok first of all I found out that Isobel was a very strong witch, but she is weak without her coven or all it said was without 'him'. I did my best to find out who he was but I couldn't find a thing. I also checked up on some other things. Her original body isn't even in the coffin in Paris. I also have no idea why they would put it in a church. But anyway, there was apparently this old apothecary back in Isobel's day, well everyone thought that he was crazy but after he died it turned out that he really could see the future. He foretold Isobel returning and wreaking with the one from another world. I had no idea what that meant. And one last thing, I tracked down this old script from one of my sources. It said that the only way to get Isobel out of someone was to bring both of the body's together. I think that's why her body has gone missing. All we have to do is basically find it and bring the two together. Yeah I know that it sounds gross but that was the best lead that I've gotten."

"Wow... That's alot to take in. I have a copy of that spell though. The one for Isobel's removal. Maybe you should take a look at that one first." Clark handed her the old piece of paper.

"This looks really similar to the permanent possession one. I tracked that one down too." Chloe rummaged in her desk for the paper. She compared the two and they were one in the same. "I think that this is a trick. She would trick someone into performing this and then she would have complete control over the host's body." Clark was speechless. How did Chloe get so smart?

"What are we going to do?"

"I think that we should visit the museum in Paris and do some more research. It's the only way that we are going to get anywhere."

Clark nodded. "I'll have to tell Isobel though, I'll use the mom and dad excuse again. They're in Metropolis because my dad has to gave some routine x-rays, and check ups done. It takes a couple days for the x-rays to be done so I think that this could work."

"Good, because we are going to need all of the time that we can get." Chloe said as she took another big gulp of her coffee. "So when do we leave?"

"Now." Clark stood up and extended his hand to Chloe.

"What are you talking about Clark? How are we going to get to Paris from-"

"In case you forgot, I have that luxury. Get dressed and we'll leave." he said with a smirk. Chloe nodded and rushed into her bed room. She threw on some clothes and joined Clark. He held her and they took flight. Chloe was secretly loving this. Not even the flying part. Just being wrapped up in Clark's arms. She secretly wondered what it would be like if Lana never did come back. Clark would probably visit her more often and... That was horrible, she immediately shook the thought from her mind and focused on their current task at hand.

They landed in Paris somewhere near Isobel's tomb. Clark let go of Chloe and she did the same. An awkward moment settled bewteen the two.

"So where's the cathedral where Isobel's tomb is?"

"Well, I did some more background info and I discovered that there is an 'underground' society of people who follow her. They call theselves the believers. Corny huh? I guess that they practice witch craft and stuff and the only way that we are going to find anything good is if we do a little bit of undervocer work. See if they're the real deal."

"I'm game." Clark said with a smirk.
