"Clark, behind you," Chloe whispered. Clark looked back, and fire shot from his eyes. The two men dropped their, now extremely hot, guns. They looked at each other before turning and running from the building.
"Chloe, are you all right?" he knew it was a dumb question, but he couldn't think straight.
She smiled weakly, "I think I may need a doctor."
Clark carefully lifted her and took off.

Leah stared at the happy couple; Maybe he isn't going to help me find Luke. Maybe all he had wanted was my help finding Chloe. She blinked back the tears as they began to fill her eyes. Turning she ran smack dab into a rock solid chest. A hand grabbed her elbow, steadying her.
"Leah?"
Instinctively she disappearedand pulled her arm away. Only then did she look up, it was Clark.
"Leah, I know you're still here."
She spoke without reappearing, "I am."
"What's wrong?"
"I thought you were going to help me find Luke."
Clark paused, he was torn. He couldn't leave Chloe, but he had agreed to help Leah find Luke.
"I will…" he knew he would help her, but first he had to find somewhere where Chloe would be safe, "Leah?"
There was no answer, he started down the hall to look for her, but it was senseless. If Leah didn't want to be seen she wouldn't be.
"Clark?" Chloe called from her hospital room.
He turned and reentered the room.
"Clark, who were you talking to?"
"Leah," he said distractedly.
Chloe frowned, "Leah?"
"She was one of the people who rescued you."
Chloe thought back…the girl in the warehouse, the invisible voice in the hospital…. "Is she able to become invisible?"
Clark looked at her, "Yes, why?"
"She was at the hospital when Luke helped me escape."

She quietly slipped inside the dark room, "Luke?"
All she got for a reply was a low moan. She quickly moved in the direction it had come from. Then she saw him. He was lying in a heap on the hard, cold floor. He had a black eye, a split lip that was crusted with dried blood, and numerous other injuries.
"Oh, Luke…"
Carefully she helped him into a sitting position.
"Leah," his voice was ragged and filled with pain, "It-it's to d-dangerous fo-for you to-to be here."
"Can you walk?" she questioned softly.
"I-I don't know..."
They wouldn't have time to find out. Behind them the door opened, Lex Luthor, followed by his hired man entered.
Lex looked at Luke, "Will you cooperate yet?"
"I to-told you…I d-don't know wh-where s-she is."
Lex clenched his teeth and turned to the other man, "He's of no more use to us."
He looked back once more, than turned and left the room.
The man, smiling maliciously, lifted his gun and fired.
