-Chapter Six-
Cole's Tests"So, what do we do asked?" the demon girl walking over to Cole.
Cole turned to her a glint of evil in his eye that stays there everyday. "Send some of the men. I want to send 'The Last Son' a few tests," Cole said darkly.
"What ever you say," she chimed before shimmering out of the room. Cole stands looking out at the horizon. A look of worry in his eyes.
Clark stood nervously in front of the Halliwells. Paige stood watching him on the arm of the chair. Piper and Phoebe sat on the couch watching him also; Leo stood behind the couch.
"I suppose you're wondering what happened last night," Clark said awkwardly.
"That's an understatement," mumbled Piper who received a hit in the ribs from Phoebe.
"It's okay," she said soothingly, "we know who you are. We know you're the Last Son."
Clark's eyes widened. He couldn't breathe. How could they know? Had the researched him like Dr. Swann? Did they know about Krypton?
"How do you know about Krypton?" Clark breathed shocked, his blue eyes looking at them wide.
"Krypton?" repeated Phoebe.
"What's Krypton?" Piper scoffed.
"You don't know about Krypton? Then, how do you know I'm the Last Son of Krypton?" asked Clark totally perplexed.
The girls turned to Leo. Leo jumped as he realised they wanted him to explain. "Err... well there has been a legend going around for years stating that a last survivor of a grand race would come to our world and rule us," Leo said awkwardly.
"How do you know all this?" Clark asked.
"Well, it's hard to explain," Leo replied. "But, I'm a Whitelighter. An Angel," Leo added when he saw the confused look on Clark's face.
"An angel?" Clark scoffed. "Yeah, right. And I suppose they're angels too?"
"No, witches," Piper chimed bluntly. "Well, Paige is half Whitelighter."
Clark looked at them shocked. He had fought witches before but angels they were hard to believe. Although, he did come from Smallville.
"So, what are you bad witches or…"
"Good witches," Paige interrupted, "we're the Charmed Ones. We vanquish evil to save innocents."
"Oh," Clark squeaked, his voice going a little high by the revelation. "So, is that how I saw that vision in my head when I touched Phoebe."
"Wait, you saw that," Phoebe gasped.
"Yeah, shouldn't I?" asked Clark worriedly.
"No," Leo said pointedly, "Phoebe should only be able to see it."
"So, what are you?" asked Paige who continued to lean against the wall. "Warlock? Demon? Wizard? Whitelighter?"
"No... I'm not from here," Clark said awkwardly his throat turning dry as he spoke. "In fact, I'm not even from this galaxy." He watched as they all looked at him dumbstruck. "I'm from a planet called Krypton. My parents sent me here when the planet was about to be destroyed. I'm the last of my people."
"But, you look human?" stuttered Paige horror-struck.
"I am," Clark said, "well, I was raised by humans... so I am."
"But, Leo when you said an extinct race we thought you meant. Werewolves or something," Phoebe stammered shocked.
"So did I?" Leo said wide-eyed. "But, it does make sense. I mean, he has the strength of ten men like the Elders said."
"That's just one of my powers," Clark blurted out mistakenly.
"What other powers do you have?" asked Piper curiously.
"Heat vision, Super speed, super hearing, ice breathe and x-ray vision," he said his voice cracking nervously.
Piper, Paige and Phoebe both held their hands over their breasts shocked when he said x-ray vision. An appalled look on their faces.
"I suppose the next thing you're going to tell us is that you can fly," scoffed Paige.
"No," Clark said to which she nodded. "I haven't really mastered that yet."
Her eyes widened as he said this with such ease as it was nothing.
"Paige, I won't hurt you," Clark said reassuringly. "I'm not here to hurt anyone."
"So you know the meaning of the message?" Phoebe asked.
"I know I was sent here to help," Clark replied unsure. "But, even if the message says I have to conquer doesn't mean I have to right."
They all seemed unsure. A loud whoosh of air appeared behind Clark as a dark-haired demon appeared behind him. "Hello, Kal-El," he said.
"How do you know my name?" Clark asked.
"I know your legend," he replied. He flung his arm at Clark a blast of fire hit him and threw him across the room. Clark slammed through the rails of the stairs. "I was expecting more."
BOOM! His hand blew off a Piper flicked her hands at him. He stumbled. Phoebe lunged at him levitating and kicking him. His eyes widened as Clark zoomed towards him, he threw a fireball at Clark. Clark stopped and leaned to the side dodging the blast. His eyes flared a fiery colour as the fireball exploded behind him. Two beams o fire shot at hit the demon in the chest. He exploded in a ball of fire as the heat vision hit him.
Clark looked around in shock. What had he done? He didn't even use full power. Clark looked over at Paige to see her eyes staring back at him horrified. She backed away and walked out the house slamming the door behind her. Phoebe held his hand stopping him from going after her.
"Don't let her clear her head," she said soothingly.
Cole watched a cloud o blue light showing Clark vanquish the demon. The blond demon girl leaned over Cole worriedly.
"What are we going to do?" she asked him worriedly.
"We buy our time and try and find his weakness," Cole said calmly. "After all every man has weakness. No matter how strong her may be."
