Warehouse. A car drives up. Chloe is dragged out. She is still unconscious. The man who had kidnapped her ties her to a chair. Chloe begins to wake up, and her blindfold is removed. Her eyes widen in fear as she sees a figure emerge from the shadows.
"No. You died." said Chloe.
"Well, Miss Kent. Let's see if we can find out what you know." asked a familiar voice.
"So when do we go after Clark Kent?" asked the man who kidnapped Chloe.
"Patience. We have to wait for our other partners and guests to arrive." said voice.
The man who kidnapped her then puts her back to sleep using the chloroform.
"This was a brilliant plan." said the man.
The figure nods, pulls out a gun, and shoots the man, who falls down, dead.
"I can't have any witnesses." said the figure.
The figure then turns on the lamp, revealing who he is. Lionel Luthor. He smiles as men arrive with machinery. Men put Chloe onto a cot, and set her up.
"Soon we'll discover if you know the mystery of Clark Kent." said Lionel.
Soon others arrive.
"Ian, Helen, Dr. Garner, so good to see all of you." said Lionel.
"What do you want?" asked Helen.
"I spent my time tracking you down. Now you will work with me to kidnap Clark Kent, and find out his secrets." said Lionel.
"He has super powers. What else is there to know about him?" said Ian.
"Super powers? What kind?" asked Dr. Garner.
"Heat beam eyes, super strength, x-ray vision, and super speed." said Ian.
"That's just two short of Superman. Superman has super hearing and can fly too." said Helen.
"Is it possible that Clark Kent and Superman are the same person?" asked Lionel.
"Only one way to find out." said Ian.
Ian pulls out a duffel bag and steps into a back room. IN the back room, he removes his clothes. Another Ian emerges from hi back. Both Ians quickly get dressed.
Author's Note: Ian 1- original; Ian 2- clone.
"Excellent. One of you must go to the Daily Planet. That is where Clark Kent is. And you better make sure he doesn't recognize you." said Lionel.
Ian 2 puts on sunglasses and a black leather jacket. Chloe is still unconscious, and mumbles "Clark".
"Don't worry, Chloe. You and Clark will be together soon. Only not the way you want it." said Lionel.
Ian 2 walks out of the warehouse, and jumps onto a motorcycle. He starts it, and drives away to the Daily Planet.
Hospital. Lana, Nell, Whitney, Pete, Linda, and Lois talk with each other. Clark walks in.
"I called my parents and Mr. Sullivan to let them know about Chloe. I wish I knew where Chloe was." said Clark.
Closet. Swirls of blue orbs from into Paige and Stacy. They walk out, and run up to Clark and the others.
"We're here, Clark." said Paige.
"Let's get to work . Lex is too preoccupied with helping his brother." said Clark.
The group runs out of the hospital, and into their cars. They drive to their mansion. Ian 2, drives the motorcycle after them. He pulls out his cell phone.
"Mr. Luthor. Clark's sister has come in from San Francisco. She, Clark, and a bunch of their buddies are heading to your old mansion." said Ian 2.
"That's right. Lex gave it to Clark and his friends. Well, this will be easier than I expected." said Lionel's voice.
San Francisco. Police station. Darryl is watching the news.
"We have some breaking news for you today. 2 people have shown they have extraordinary powers. They have been identified as Paige Matthews and Stacy Atkins. Half-sisters. It's possible that Paige's half-sisters, Prue Trudeau, Piper Wyatt, and Phoebe Turner knew about their powers. Or they could even have powers themselves?" said announcer.
Darryl's eyes widen, and he picks up the phone, and begins dialing numbers.
Manor. Piper is finishing up dinner. Phoebe is setting up the table. A door slams. Phoebe looks up to see Prue and Andy enter the kitchen. Cole appears, and Leo orbs in. Piper serves the meal, and they begin to eat. The phone rings. Prue flings her hands, and the phone lifts off the hook, and flies to Prue's hands. She turns it on, and puts it next to her ear.
"Hello?" asked Prue.
"Prue. It's Darryl. Check Channel 4 News. Paige and Stacy have been exposed." said Darryl.
"What!" said Prue.
"Turn it on. You'll see." said Darryl's voice.
Prue turns the TV on, and doesn't notice a click on the other line. Leo hangs up the phone for Prue while she remains looking at the TV. The others also look to see what the problem is.
"Paige Matthews and Stacy Atkins have supernatural powers. This was the scene that I witnessed this afternoon." said Janice.
The TV screen turns into the alley. A warlock throws an energy ball. Paige and Stacy duck and it makes a huge scorch in the wall behind them. The warlock throws another energy ball.
"Energy ball!" yelled Paige.
The energy ball appears in Paige's hand, and she throws it back at the warlock. Stacy and Paige look around, before Stacy orbs them away in blue lights. The screen returns to the news reporter.
"What are they? Are they a danger to all of us? This reporter says we need to find out. Back to you, Tim." said Janice.
Cole, Leo, Andy, Phoebe, and Piper were also now sitting in shock, like Prue.
"Paige and Stacy were exposed! How could they be so reckless?" said Prue.
"Remember what Piper from the other reality told us. You killed Shax in the street where they recorded it." said Cole.
"Well that was a different reality." said Prue.
"It resulted in your death." said Leo.
"Alright. So I could make the same mistake. I guess I can't be mad at Paige, if I could do it in another reality." said Prue.
"Without the Tempest or the Avatars we can't rewind time." said Phoebe.
"There must be a way to rewind time. The Elders must know a way." said Phoebe.
"I'll go check now." said Leo.
Leo orbs away in blue lights.
"I hope he comes back soon." said Phoebe.
Metropolis. Manor. Paige, Stacy, Clark, Lois, Lana, Whitney, Pete, Linda, and Nell sit down to dinner.
"Clark? Have the police found out where Chloe is yet?" asked Lana.
"No. I think Superman and Supergirl better handle this." said Clark.
"That's right. We'll take care of it." said Linda.
"Clark is Superman. And Linda Lane is Supergirl. This is much better than we thought." said a voice.
The voice belongs to Ian, who is hiding in the bushes, looking and listening through a window. He is holding a tape recorder in his hands.
"Perfect. Soon the Daily Planet will have an exclusive story. Two of its reporters are the legendary Superman and Supergirl." said Ian.
Ian pulls out his cell phone and smiles evilly. He dials some numbers. Inside the phone rings. Lana stands up and goes to the phone. She picks it up and turns it on.
"Hello?" asked Lana.
"Listen closely, Lana Lang. Chloe Kent is our prisoner. If you want to see her again, Clark Kent must go to the Metropolis boatyard." said Ian, disguising his voice.
"Hold on a minute." said Lana.
"One hour Mrs. Lang. Or you can say goodbye to Mrs. Kent." said Ian still using a disguised voice.
Ian hangs up while Lana stands there shocked. Ian walks away and climbs onto his motorcycle. He drives away and heads back to the warehouse.
"Lana. What's wrong?" asked Clark.
"Chloe's kidnapper called. You have to go to the Metropolis boatyard. If you aren't there in 1 hour then Chloe dies." said Lana.
"I'm on my way." said Clark.
"Clark. Wait." said Paige.
"I have to go." said Clark.
"Alright. Fine. But we'll hide there, and be your back up." said Paige.
The others also nod.
"Stacy, Linda, stay here with Nell. Just in case they attack here." said Paige.
"Good idea." said Stacy.
"Good luck." said Linda.
Lana, Pete and Whitney vanish in their elements. Paige orbs out while Clark runs away at super speed.
Boatyard. Pete, Lana and Whitney appear in their elements and duck behind boxes. Paige orbs in and ducks behind the same set of boxes. Clark arrives in a cab. He gets out and pays the man. The cab driver drives away.
"Excellent Clark. You've come." said a voice.
Clark turns around and his face meets a fist. He falls to the ground and looks up at Ian 2. Eric smiles and holds Kryptonite. Clark can't get up and Ian 2 laughs.
"Too easy Clark. Or should I say Superman?" said Ian 2.
"What are you talking about?" asked Clark wincing.
"This." said Ian 2.
Ian 2 pulls a tape player from his pocket and presses play.
"Clark? Have the police found out where Chloe is yet?" asked Lana's voice.
"No. I think Superman and Supergirl better handle this." said Clark's voice.
"That's right. We'll take care of it." said Linda's voice.
Ian 2 smirks and turns off the tape.
"Don't worry Clark. Soon the whole world will know who you are Superman. Too bad you won't be around to see it." said Ian 2.
Ian 2 grabs Clark and pulls him onto his motorcycle.
"We're going for a ride." said Ian 2.
Clark struggles while Ian 2 places the kryptonite into Clark's jeans pocket. As Clark gets weaker and weaker Ian 2 revs the engine and drives off. Paige, Whitney, Lana and Pete step out of their hiding place. A net falls on them and pulls them up.
"He was right. You are easy to capture." said a figure walking out of the shadows revealing himself as Ian 1.
Ian 1 then throws a sleeping gas bomb which makes them pass out before they can activate their powers. Ian 1 smiles and loads the 4 captives into a truck. He chains the net to the bottom of the trunk and places a trap over it then ties the tarp down. Ian 2 climbs into the truck and drives away.
Warehouse. Ian 2 drives up in a motorcycle with an unconscious Clark. Lionel and Helen see him.
"Excellent. Bring him in." said Lionel.
Ian 1 drives up in his truck and reveals the captives in the net.
"You were right. Clark's sister and friends did come to ruin our plans. But I got them too." said Ian 1.
"So we have Clark's wife his sister and his best friends. What more could we ask for?" asked Ian 1.
"How about his family?" asked Helen.
The 2 Ians and Lionel turn around to see Helen walk in. Thugs drag in an unconscious Jonathan and John and a struggling blindfolded Martha.
"Excellent." said Lionel.
"Why is she still awake? "asked Ian 2.
"Because it was my orders." said Lionel.
Thugs drag Chloe Whitney Paige Pete Lana Jonathan and John into the cellar and chain them to the wall. They also fill the room with chloroform so they won't wake up.
Main room. Martha is tied to the chair that Chloe was sitting in. The 2 Ians leave with the thugs to guard the entrance to the cellar. Helen walks into another room to do research leaving Lionel alone with Martha. He removes her blindfold.
"Lionel? Why are you doing this?" asked Martha.
"Don't worry Martha. Clark's secrets will be exposed to the world. And you and I will be together forever." said Lionel.
"I will never be with you. I don't love you. I love Jonathan and I'm married to him ." said Martha showing her wedding ring on her ring finger of her right hand.
"Maybe but as the saying goes 'till death to us part'." said Lionel.
"No. Leave Jonathan alone." said Martha.
"I also have your son John and your daughter Paige along with your daughter-in-law Chloe and Clark's best friends Whitney Ford, Lana Lang, and Pete Ross." said Lionel.
"Leave them alone. Please." said Martha.
"Well maybe the others but your husband has to die for us to be together." said Lionel.
Lionel then exits the room leaving Martha upset and horrified. Clark is dragged into a laboratory. He is restrained to a table. Helena Bryce and Dr. Garner are monitoring the controls.
"Dr. Garner. I know we started this process many years ago. But we know Clark is Superman. We must find out everything about him. For science and possibly the safety of mankind." said Lionel.
"That's good enough for me." said Dr. Garner.
"Then let's begin at once." said Lionel.
"Yes. Let's begin." said Dr. Bryce.
Clark is lowered into the water with the machine. Only the water isn't kryptonite this time.
"Now let's see if we can uncover more about the 'Man of Steel.'" said Lionel with a smirk.
Nearby the 2 Ians turn on the TV. It shows the broadcast of Paige being exposed. Scared she puts a pillow over Paige's face and Paige quickly dies. She drops the pillow on the ground and runs out. Linda goes to the phone and dials Lana's cell.
"Lana? It's Linda. Paige and John are both at the hospital injured. Jonathan and Martha are still missing." said Linda.
"NO! It can't be." said a voice.
Linda turns around to see the nurse who killed Paige talking to Clark.
"I'm sorry Clark. Your sister is dead." said nurse.
"No." said Clark.
Tears streak down his face and he wipes them away.
"But your brother will recover. It seems she took most of the beatings." said nurse.
"I have to go. Paige is dead. Clark needs my support. Can you call her sisters in San Francisco?" asked Linda.
"I will." said Lana's voice.
Linda hangs up and runs up to Clark. She hugs him as he struggles to hold back tears.
Metropolis. Mansion. Lana hangs up the phone tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong Lana? "asked Whitney.
"Paige. She's dead." said Lana bursting into tears.
Whitney hugs her to calm her down.
"Paige." said Chloe.
Everyone feels horrible and sits in chairs and sofas to calm down.
"Someone has to call Piper, Prue, and Phoebe. They don't know yet." said Lana.
"I'll do it. I'll orb over there. Take care." said Stacy who orbed away.
San Francisco. Leo orbs in with the bad news.
"The message is slowly spreading. Soon everyone will know Paige and Stacy are witches." said Leo.
"I hope Leo gets back here soon. We killed the Tempest and all of the Avatars. There had better be a way to rewind time or Paige and Stacy will be killed like the 2 of us were in that alternate reality." said Prue.
"LEO!" yelled Piper.
"What is taking him so long?" asked Phoebe.
Heaven. The Elders are talking. Leo is waiting impatiently. He hears Piper's call but decides to ignore
"Leo. With the Avatars and Tempest gone we have one solution. The Cleaners." said Elder 1.
2 men the Cleaners appear in white flashes of light. They are both Caucasian with short black hair. They are wearing white clothes.
"They will fix our problem." said Elder 1.
"Can you rewind time back to this morning? But let the sisters and Stacy keep their memories?" asked Leo.
"Very well." said the Cleaners.
They vanish in white lights and Leo orbs out in blue lights.
Manor. The 3 sisters and Cole wait impatiently. Leo orbs in blue lights.
"The Cleaners will fix everything. But only the 3 of you Paige and Stacy will remember everything." said Leo.
The 3 sisters nod and share worried glances as time is rewound back to the morning.
Social Services. Paige gets the phone call and listens to Linda. Paige and Stacy look at each other and nod. They run out and get into their car avoiding the alley altogether. Paige starts the car and drives away.
Alley. The news reporter finishes her filming and walks out with her camera guy. The warlock shimmers in. He throws an energy ball killing the reporter and the camera man. It also turns the camera to pieces. He blinks out.
Manor. Paige parks her car and the two sisters run into the house. Cole, Leo, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe are there. The 3 sisters hug Paige.
"We weren't exposed this time. But Chloe's still kidnapped. We still don't know where she is being held." said Paige.
"I do. She's at a warehouse. Lionel Luthor has joined forces with Dr. Helen Bryce Dr. Garner and a meteor mutant named Ian who can clone himself." said Leo.
"Then let's go." said Stacy.
Sam orbs in.
"Prue. The warlock that Paige and Stacy killed in the original timeline killed the reporter and camera man that exposed them as well as destroying the camera." said Sam.
"We just let two innocent people die." said Paige.
"We have work to do now. Save Chloe and stop all of you from being kidnapped." said Stacy.
Stacy and Paige orb out.
