Chapter 13- Intercept
"Clark! CLARK!" Chloe shouted as she ran down the stairs, met by a confused Martha Kent. "Chloe, honey, what's the matter?"

"It's Lex." She panted, trying to catch her breath. "He . . . he. . ."

"What, Chloe, what's wrong with Lex?"

"He has a video of Clark. . ."


I'm alone.

I'm seeing things, and I'm alone.

Maybe my father's drugging me again.

Wait a minute, he's dead.

I killed him.

I watched him scream for his life. I shot him as he said my name. He called for me, he saw that I was past the point of no return, but even he couldn't stop me.

I see him everywhere I turn.

His face is there when I look in the mirror.

When I speak, it's his voice calling out to me.

Saying my name. Over and over again

'Lex, don't do it.'

I did it anyway.

Sometimes I think I made the wrong choice

Sometimes. . .

What's done is done.

We can only control the future.

And I vow to make the most of it.

"Mr. Luthor?"

I hate that name.

"What!"

The man stepped back a few paces. Lex was rather intimidating when he was angry. "Our teams have gotten back some of the footage from the security cameras from your father's office.

"And?"

"Apparently some kids got into the building a few weeks ago."

No shit. I knew about that since before they broke in. "What took you so long to get the data?"

"Well, the connection was damaged by the fire. Unscrambling data, it's a long process," the man retorted, very professionally, but slightly annoyed at Lex's accusatory tone.

"Put it on my desk."

"Mr. Luthor, why are you so interested in this tape?" He said, laying it down on his desk.

"Get out."


"What do you mean, a video?"

"Mrs. Kent, the night I was shot, we weren't really at a party." Chloe explained, breaking the news to her as gently as she could, but still trying to let her know the truth. "Clark and I broke into LuthorCorp Plaza to investigate Lionel Luthor's murder. Somebody shot at us, and Clark went into super speed, right in front of a security camera. I'm so sorry, Mrs. Kent."

"So Lex knows," Martha sighed. Chloe shrugged, afraid to reply.

"We have to tell Clark." Chloe stated. "Where is he?"

"Last I saw he was trying to find Lois."
