-Chapter Four-

Visions and Crashes

Paige stood in front of the mirror holding a red top over her shirt trying envision herself wearing it. She shook her head and threw down on a pile of clothes, all of which seem to have the same discarded look to them.

"You're getting a bit dressed up for going to P3?" said Piper, reflecting behind Paige in the mirror. She looked at Paige knowingly. "Who is he?"

She sat down on the bed moving a pair of pants from under her. "What do you mean?" asked Paige innocently.

"Well, you've got clothes thrown across the bed and are looking at yourself in the mirror," began Piper, "So who is he?"

"Just some guy I met today," Paige replied throwing another shirt on the pile picking it up.

"What's he like?" Piper asked inquisitively.

"Nice," Paige said thoughtfully, "a little bumbling, but, nice. Plus, he has a great body."

"Oh do tell," Piper said interested.

"No," Paige snapped her pale cheeks turning red. "You can meet him to night he's coming to the club."

"Oh can't wait," Piper said with a smile.

"Drinks are on me," said Paige cheerfully as she placed five drinks down on the table in which, consisted of Leo, Piper, Phoebe and Darryl sitting there.

"What's the occasion?" Darryl asked with his deep voice.

"Paige has a date," Piper chimed shrewdly.

"What?" snapped Phoebe shocked, "Paige, didn't you get my messages. I asked you to take my intern out."

"Err... Phoebe," Paige said gingerly.

"I needed you to keep an eye on him," Phoebe said ignoring her.

"Hey, Phoebe," said Clark from behind her. Phoebe jumped and turned to see Clark stood behind her.

"Oh, hey Clark," she said embarrassed as Leo and Darryl nearly choked on their drinks as they snorted a laugh. "I didn't expect you here."

"Paige invited me," he replied sitting down in the seat next to Paige.

"Listen, do you want to dance?" Paige asked Clark a little embarrassed for both Phoebe and herself.

"Yeah, sure," Clark replied nervously, standing up and following her to the dance floor a little out of place.

Phoebe fell into her hands mortified. "Oh, my god," she groaned through her hands. "I can't believe that happened."

"I can," joked Piper.

"Well, it was kind of funny," chuckled Darryl uncontrollable.

"I am so embarrassed," Phoebe groaned still mortified by what happened.

"Err…" chuckled Piper trying to sound serious; "you're not the only one." They turned to see Clark dancing with Paige, badly. His arms were ridged and moved stiffly, his head bobbed up and down. Paige seemed amused by this a warm smile across her face as she took his hands and moved him the right way.

"So, how long till the baby comes?" asked Darryl turning to Piper and Leo, their hands wrapped in a knot not wanting to let go.

"We've still got a few months to go," Leo said dreamily.

"I suppose the demon fighting will be out of commission for a few months then?" Darryl chuckled taking a sip of his drink.

"Darryl's right Piper," replied Phoebe, "demon fighting isn't good for the baby."

A howl of laughter echoed behind them and Paige and Clark stumbled off the dance floor. "So I'm not the greatest dancer?" Clark shrugged.

"Not the greatest. You dance like Leo when he's had a few drinks," Paige chuckled.

"Hey," Leo replied offended.

"Come on, Leo you tend to dance terrible when drunk," Phoebe chuckled. She stood chuckling. "I'll get the drinks in."

Clark grabbed the rest of his drink and drunk. He passed it to her as she went to take the empty glasses back. Phoebe suddenly, gasped her eyes flashed as she saw a silver haired man wearing long red robes and a tearful woman with black hair wearing green robes. The man looked at her sadly. "You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But, we will never leave you even in the face of our deaths… You will see my life through eyes as your life will be seen through mine... the son becomes the father, and the father the son..."

Another image flashed in Phoebe's mind. A icy planet sat within the vast sea of stars explodes and a rocket flying away from it.

Phoebe gasped and her eyes opened. "Are you okay?" Piper asked worriedly as she fell back in her seat.

"Yeah," Phoebe breathed heavily. She looked over at Clark. His eyes wide with horror as if he knew what she saw, as if he saw it too. Did he see my vision? Thought Phoebe shocked.

"Clark, are you okay, buddy?" asked Leo worriedly as Clark continued to look at Phoebe shocked.

"Yeah," Clark gasped still shaken, "I'm just going to get some air." He stood up and dashed through the dancers towards the back door.

"I'll go see if he's okay," said Phoebe dashing off before Paige could reply. She pushed past the dancers towards the back door.

Clark dashed through the back door and into the alleyway behind P3. He turns around a look of shock watering within his eyes. What happened? He thought. Was that my parents sending me off in a spaceship?

He stared up at the sky at the stars twinkling in the night. One of them could have been Krypton, he thought, one of them could have been my home. Now it's gone.

He bowed his head and walked solitary across the alleyway towards the street. Unbeknownst to him Phoebe walked out into the alleyway.

Phoebe walked towards him. He was already well ahead and then, she saw it. A bus zoomed down the empty street. She could see the driver, he had fell asleep at the wheel. "CLARK! WATCH OUT!" She shouted sprinting towards him.

Clark spun around to see the bus coming towards him. He held his arms close in a blocking position bracing him self. The bus collided with him slamming to a stop. Glass exploded shattering to a million piece falling down across the street. Sparks flew as the front of the bus exploded.

"Oh my god!" Phoebe gasped horrified. She dug into a her pocket and took out her phone. The back door slammed open as she did. Piper, Paige, Leo and Darryl ran out. They must have heard the noise. "Hello, I need an ambulance!"

"Phoebe, what happened?" Paige asked. "Where's Clark?"

"Yeah, hello. There's been an accident," Phoebe said frantically down the phone, "hurry someone's been hit by a bus." Paige looked at Phoebe horrified; her eyes began to water.

"Oh my god," Darryl said slowly as a loud creaking echoed from where the bus was.

"That's impossible," gasped Leo horror-struck as a loud creaking noise echoed from the bus as Clark climbed out from inside the dented front. Paige's eyes widened as did Piper and Phoebe's as they saw Clark step out from the wreckage without a scratch.

Clark looked at the smoke sizzled in front of him. He saw the driver unconscious on the wheel a large rose shaped bruise on his forehead. Clark dived into the bus after slamming the middle of the door apart. He grabbed the man throwing him over his shoulder and as quick as a flash zoomed out of the bus as it exploded.

Clark stopped a few feet away from the bus covering himself over the driver engulfing himself in the explosion.

"Oh my god," said Darryl again as the ball of fire disappeared and Clark stood unharmed only his clothes are burnt.

They ran over to the driver who lay unconscious on the floor. "How?" Phoebe gasped.

Clark and Paige's eyes met. He gulped nervously as he saw the look of horror in her eyes and with a blink of an eye he was gone. Paige's eyes looked at her sister, who were equally shocked and horrified by what they saw.

Unbeknownst to them, a lone figure stood in the shadows watching them behind them. And with yet another blink of an eye he disappeared as well.
