-Chapter Fourteen-

Premonitions Again

Clark stood at the window in Paige's room looking out at the sun began to rise again making a web of pink and orange colours sinning over the horizon. He only had a day to return to Jor-El. He turned and looked at Paige lying in her bed wearing only silver coloured lingerie. "That was amazing," she breathed satisfyingly.

Clark bowed his head. "I have to go," Clark said suddenly, "Today," he added.

"What?" Paige cried confused, "Why?"

"Because I have to," Clark said. "I don't have a choice."

"Can't I come with you?" Paige asked knowingly.

"No," Clark said. "Where I'm going I have to go alone."

"When are you leaving?" Paige asked sadly looking down at the floor.

"Today," he replied bluntly. "Before sunset."

"But, we've only just," Paige replied confused and trying to have everything make sense.

Clark sat down next to her. "I don't want to do this," Clark said to her with a look of purpose on his face. "But, I have to. I was sent here for a reason and it's time I fulfil my destiny." He stood up and walked to the door. "I'll be back to say goodbye before I leave." He walked out of the room leaving Paige stunned on the bed.

Paige walked into the kitchen sadly as her sisters stood up to see her. "Sweetie are you okay?" Piper asked concerned.

"Clark's leaving," Paige said glumly.

"Yeah," Phoebe said hesitantly. "We know. Leo told us."

"How did you know?" she asked shocked to Leo.

"When I took Clark to where he asked me to go he transported us to some ice palace he said was his Fortress of Solitude, sort of a mausoleum of Kryptonian knowledge. He got his powers back from his father's memory as long as he came back before sunset."

"Did he say why?" Paige asked still confused by all this.

"He just said he'd be doing training there that would help him fulfil his destiny," Leo shrugged not quite sure about all this.

"Honey, you've know what Clark can do, and you know what he's like," Phoebe said reassuringly. "And if he says he has to go. There's probably a good reason."

Paige nodded still glum by the idea. Phoebe turned and grabbed a cookbook from the kitchen shelf. She gasped a she saw images pass a starry backdrop with many swirling images surrounding it. She saw Clark. He was stood in the middle of a blue light, which encircled him. A loud booming voice echoed through the backdrop.

"Even though you have been raised as a human being you are not one them. They can be great people, Kal-El if they wish to be. They only lack the light to guide them. For this reason above all their capacity for good I have sent them you. My only son... Kal-El," the voice echoed as a pentagon shaped insignia with the letter S in it appeared before her.

Phoebe gasped and looked happily as she realised what she saw. "What did you see?" Piper asked worriedly.

"Our saviour," Phoebe chimed happily to which they all looked at her worriedly. She smiled beaming at them.

Clark walked into the attic where Paige, Phoebe and Piper stood looking over the book. Leo followed him in. "Hey," he said nervously his bag over his shoulder.

"Hey," said Paige. "You're leaving then?"

"Yeah," Clark replied. "It's almost sunset. I suppose, Leo told you what that means."

"Yeah, you have to return to some ice fortress," Paige nodded.

Clark nodded gingerly. He looked over at Phoebe and Piper. "What are you working on?" Clark asked curiously.

"A way of vanquishing Cole," Phoebe replied.

"Right, I'm sure you'll find a way," Clark said sincerely.

"Oh come here you," Phoebe said happily walking over to Clark and giving him a hug. Clark hugged her back. "Don't be a stranger," she said as she let him go.

Piper came over and hugged him as well. "Good luck," she said squeezing him tighter. Clark held out his hand to Leo. Leo shook it.

"See ya, Clark," Leo said shaking Clark's hand.

"See ya Leo," Clark replied as he shook Leo's hand.

Clark turned to Paige. They both said nothing. "Well, this is it," Clark shrugged. "Goodbye Paige."

"Bye, Clark," she replied. "Good luck. I'll miss you."

Clark turned and looked as the sun began to set. "I best be going," he said floating in the air and towards the window.

"See ya Superman," Phoebe said anxiously.

"What?" Clark said confused.

"You'll find out," Phoebe replied stifling a laugh.

Clark hovered towards the window. "Will we see you again?" Paige asked him as he reached the window. "I mean, will we see you around."

"I'm always around," Clark said with a smile and he flew away into the setting sun. He headed North to his training not knowing what awaited him next. No body did. Except Phoebe that is.
