Disclaimer: Don't Own Smallville
"You look like hell." Jason said.
"Thanks. You know how to make a girl feel special." Jamie said leaning over a toilet.
"Want me to get you anything?"
Then she threw up. "Maybe something cold for my throat," She said looking up.
He felt her forehead. "You're burning up. Only juices and soup for you."
"That's easy for you to say." She threw up some more.
"I'll get you some orange juice." He said walking in the kitchen. He got out a cup and filled it up with orange juice while watching the news.
"Lex Luthor has been arrested for murder. It's a little unclear about the details at the moment but authorities say a maid found Lex Luthor lying naked to a dead girl. Lex Luthor is currently out on bail-" He turned it off and went into the bedroom where Jamie was looking pale and tired. "Here you go. Drink up."
She took the cup. "I can't hold anything down."
"I just watched the news right now and Lex was arrested for murder."
She looked at him in shock. "Are you sure?"
"He's out on bail. I'm surprised Clark didn't call you yet."
"I'm charging my cell."
"That explains it. I've got to get to class. Need anything before I go?"
She sneezed. "Some more Kleenex," She groaned.
"I'd kiss you but-"
"I know."
He walked to the door when Clark was there. "She's in the room." Jason said leaving.
Clark walked in the bedroom. "I tried calling your phone."
"It's charging." Then she got up and ran into the bathroom before throwing up.
"I'll tell mom you won't be working today."
"I hate this." She groaned with her head on the edge of the bathtub. "How come you don't get sick?"
"Lucky I guess."
"You're here about Lex right?"
"Lex thinks he's being set up."
"By who?"
"Lionel."
She looked up at him. "I shouldn't be surprised. Clark I don't think there's anything to this.
"What makes you say that?"
"I know Lex is your friend but if it was something don't you think I would have dreamt about that girl dying?"
"Maybe she wasn't supposed to be saved."
"That's harsh."
"You said so yourself you can't control who you dream about dying."
"Maybe you should get Chloe to help you this time. Right now I'm seeing two of you."
He smiled. "I'll figure something out."
"Clark Kent always does." She threw up again.
"I think someone should stay with you."
"I'm fine. Jason left a gallon of water by the nightstand. Just go help Lex. If he is innocent."
"He has to be. Call me if-?"
"I'll call you if I have a dream."
Ooooooooooooooooo
She was in bed watching t.v. when there was a knock at the door.
"No." She groaned. "Go AWAY!" She called. The knock came again. "I'm going to kill whoever it is." She moaned trying to stand up. She went to the door and opened it. There was a woman with red hair. "Can I help you?" She blinked trying to keep her eyes open.
"I'm Jason's mother. You must be Jamie."
"Oh. I know how I must look right now-"
"No need to apologize. I should have called first."
"Excuse me." Jamie said running to the bathroom throwing up.
"Can I get you some water?" Genevieve called. "I know this is a bad time to drop in but I wanted to meet the girl that's made my son happy."
"Just don't blame me if you catch something." Jamie said from the bathroom.
"Deal," Genevieve said coming in the bathroom with a cup of water. "Here you go."
Jamie took the cup and drank it. "Thank you."
"I'll come back another time when your better. Just tell my son I stopped by."
"I will." She couldn't keep her eyes open anymore.
"I'll let my self out. It was a pleasure meeting you." Genevieve said leaving.
Jamie passed out on the bathroom floor.
Ooooooooooooooooo
Jason came home after his classes and saw the bed was empty.
"Jamie?" He looked around and heard the water running in the bathroom. "Didn't you hear me calling you?" He asked then stopped when Jamie was still lying on the floor with the sink still on. "Wake up." He picked her up and carried her to the bed. "Don't you do this," He said trying to wake her.
"Jason?" She asked put her eyes weren't open.
"How long have you been in the bathroom?"
She tried opening her eyes but couldn't. "When you left this morning,"
He felt her forehead. It was still warm. He picked her up and carried her back to the bathroom placing her in the tub.
"What-?"
"Don't talk." He said turning on the water. Hot at first and then switched to cold which made her open her eyes all the way.
"Jason? Why am I in the bathtub?"
"You don't remember?"
"The last thing I remember was you're mother being here."
He turned off the water when he saw she was almost back to herself. "My mother was here?"
"Please don't be mad."
"I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at my mother. She had no right to come here."
"Lex," She said remembering.
"What about him?"
She tried to stand but Jason had to hold her. "I need to call Clark. I saw Lex die by a fire."
"Clark already saved him."
"The fire already happened?"
"Yes. Didn't you dream it just now?"
"No. I forgot when but it was earlier. Why didn't I wake up when it happened?" She looked at him confused.
"Maybe the cold messed with your head. You weren't exactly yourself today."
"I guess. I'll be glad when I'm over this cold."
"Sorry I got you all wet." He said handing her a towel.
"What are you going to do?"
"I don't know. I'm not going to let my mother come between us."
Ooooooooooooooooooooo
"Jason this is a surprise. You calling you're mother." Genevieve said on the phone.
"Stay away from me and my girlfriend." Jason threatened.
"I don't know what your talking about. I haven't even been to Smallville."
"You're lying. Jamie said you were here this morning."
"Jason, I don't know how that's possible. I've just arrived in Metropolis. I do wish to see you though."
"You can't fool me mother. What did you do to her?"
"You're girlfriend? I didn't do anything. Honestly I don't know why your girlfriend said she saw me."
"If you had anything to do with her being sick-"
"How could I have anything to do with her being sick? It hurts me that you think I'd be that cruel."
"Save it mother. Don't come here. I'm not going to let you ruin it this time." He said hanging up.
Genevieve turned her phone off.
"Everything okay Mrs. Teague?" The limo driver asked.
"It will be. Take me to the Luthor mansion. I want to surprise everyone when I get Lionel Luthor out of prison. I want to see the look on my son's girlfriend when she sees Lionel face to face."
Ooooooooooooooooooo
The next day….
"You look better." Clark said at Jason's apartment.
"I feel better. I don't remember much though." Jamie said. "So you had Chloe help you?"
"Actually I went to see Lionel."
"Why?" She said shocked.
"He was able to help prove that Lex was innocent. I think he's changed."
"Lionel Luthor will never change." Jamie said putting dishes away. "You can't believe anything he says."
"Something happened to Lionel in prison. His livers healed."
She dropped a plate and it broke. "He's going to live?" She asked not believing it.
"I was shocked to. I still am. Somehow he was cured when we transferred back into our bodies."
She did a laugh that made him uncomfortable. "Why does men like him get to live when the ones that tries to do good die?"
"I don't know. I know Lionel did something to you. I want to help."
"You can't help Clark. What he did can't be undone."
"But Jason knows?"
"He's been great. I have someone that I can talk to about it. It's not your problem Clark."
"You're family."
"Clark, just forget it. I'm fine."
"No you're not. You haven't been since. You practically moved in with Jason after."
"I didn't move in. I just stay here sometimes. That's what boyfriend and girlfriends do."
"Does this have to do with anything?" He said holding up a green arrow."
"It's just a little game we play." She said taking it.
"I didn't need to know that."
"Clark there's something else. Jason told me the real reason why he came to Smallville. It has to do with Lana and the 3 stones."
"Tell me."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A week had passed since she filled Clark in on what had happened. Well almost everything…
"I was thinking we could go on vacation or something. Get away from Smallville for awhile." Jason said.
She looked at him in shock. They were at the Talon. "Does this have to do with you're mother showing up?"
"I just don't want to worry about my mother or anything else that can hurt us. Don't you think we deserve to be alone after everything that's happened?"
"Jason I understand what your saying but I can't just drop everything and leave. I have work at the farm and here."
"I don't think your Uncle would mind if you take a break. You've been working too hard."
"I admit it's tempting but I can't just leave. I don't want to run away from our problems. I know better than anyone it won't help."
"Lex offered me a job."
"What?" She said shocked. "Why?"
"Because he wants to come between us," He said.
"We only went out a few times that's all. We were never even together."
"He's the kind that won't give up."
"Did you take it?" She cringed.
"No. I would never work for the ones that hurt you."
"Maybe we should get away. I'm so tired dealing with the Luthor's." Then her phone rang. "Uncle Jonathon is everything okay?"
"I need to see you. Now," He sounded upset and angry.
"I'll be there." She hung up. "I have to go to the farm."
"Clark?"
"Not everything is about Clark. I'll think about it." She promised giving him a kiss before leaving.
Oooooooooooooooo
"What did you do?" Clark whispered as she got out of her car.
"Nothing," She said.
"I've never seen dad this angry except around Lionel."
"Lionel?" She said shocked and afraid. "Is that what it's about?"
"I don't know. Good luck." He said taking of using his super speed.
"Coward," She said walked up the steps slowly. "Please let him be possessed or something." She said to herself. She walked in and saw Jonathon standing next to the kitchen counter with his back turned.
"You want to explain this," He said turning around and placing a letter on the counter.
She picked it up and read it. "I was only trying to help."
"I don't need help. You already do too much for us. I don't need you paying my hospital bills."
"I don't need the money-" She stopped.
"I will not take handouts from my niece. I'm supposed to be taking care of you."
"Why can't I return the favor? You're too damn stubborn to except any help."
"Where did you get that kind of money?"
"I still had some from my parents." She lied.
"Your mother put me in charge of the account and that amount hasn't been taken out. Are you doing something illegal?"
"No! The money is legal. I promise."
"Why can't you tell me where it came from?"
"He didn't know that I was going to give it to you."
"You can stop being cryptic and give me a straight answer."
"It was Oliver." She said slowly.
"Oliver? Oliver Queen? You told me you weren't seeing him anymore!" he yelled.
"I'm not! He's been giving me checks since the accident."
"It wasn't an accident."
"Oliver didn't cause it. I was there."
"When was the last time you saw him?"
"Uncle Jonathon-"
"When was the last time you saw him?" He said slowly.
"Last week."
"I thought I made it clear you weren't to see him."
"You're acting like he's a Luthor or something."
"He is."
"You don't even know him!"
"I know the whole story. You're mother wrote me letters."
"You don't know because you weren't there! I'm sorry about the damn hospital bill. For now on I'll just do what I'm supposed to!" She was going to leave when she got dizzy.
"Jamie!" Jonathon ran and caught her before she fell. "I'm sorry I got angry."
She blinked her eyes and looked horrified.
"What is it?" He asked worried.
"Everyone's going to die." Then she was unconscious.
"Dad what happened?" Clark asked worried when he came in.
"I think she had a vision." Jonathon said.
"You mean she was dreaming?" Clark asked as Jonathon placed her on the couch.
"She was awake Clark."
Clark looked more worried than Jonathon. "What did she see?"
"She said 'everyone's going to die'."
"How could she have one when she's awake?"
"I don't know Clark. Her pulse is beating fast. I'm taking her to the hospital."
"Is that such a good idea? What about last time?"
"Clark she was sick and then this happened. I'm not taking any chances."
"I'll call Lex. See if he can have someone look at her."
"Clark-"
"Dad I trust Lex with her more than that doctor. The hospital asks too many questions."
"Okay. Bring them here. I'll call Jason."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Lex, I need your help." Clark asked in the mansion.
"Now's not a good time Clark." Lex said.
"Something's wrong with Jamie. I need you to have a doctor look at her."
"How serious is it? I've got bigger problems Clark."
"Does it have to do with people dying?"
Lex looked at him like he'd been slapped. "How'd you know about that?"
"It doesn't matter how I know. Her heart is beating like a panic attack."
"Bring her here." Lex ordered. "She'll get the best treatment."
"What is going on Lex? I don't want people that I care about die."
"I'll explain everything Clark just get her here. The sooner the better."
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
:"Has she changed?" Jason asked sitting beside her.
"No. Clark's getting help." Jonathon said.
"Where?"
"Lex."
"She's not going anywhere near the Luthor's." Jason said in a protective tone.
"I don't like them any better than you but Lex can help her more than the hospital can." Jonathon said.
"I don't care. She's not going." He said not budging.
"I know you care about her but I'm in charge of her."
"You don't know what they did."
"Did something happen that I don't know about?" Jonathon became alarmed.
"She made me promise not to tell."
"Jason. Did it have something to do with her moving out?"
"I'm sorry Mr, Kent but she's going to have to tell you. She's going to wake up."
Then an ambulance pulled up in front followed by Clark. "We have to get her to Lex. Fast."
Two guys loaded her on a stretcher strapping her down.
"I'm riding with her." Jason said.
Then she started twitching.
"What's happening?" Jonathon asked worried.
"It looks like she's trying to wake up but can't. Her eyes keep trying to open. My guess is she's having one hell of a nightmare." One of the men said as the other loaded her in the ambulance. "Which one of you is coming?"
"I am." Jason said.
"I'm going to see if I can find anything. I'll meet you there." Clark said.
Jason climbed in the back while Jonathon and Clark watched it take off.
"I'm going to call Martha." Jonathon said.
"I'm going to get Chloe to see if she can help."
"Be careful."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Is she like in a coma or something?" Chloe asked as they were at the Plant.
"Whatever's causing it it's not letting her wake up." Clark said worried.
"She'll be okay Clark. Kent's are tough. So Lex's guys are looking at her right now?"
"Jason's with her."
"You might want to admit that their a serious couple."
"Believe me I have. It's just she's never been in a serious one before."
"There's always a first time for everything." Chloe said. "How serious is it?"
"Serious enough that their living together and that I caught them in bed after your birthday party."
"Sorry I asked." Chloe said with a grimaced.
"This place looks dead for a Saturday."
"Since when does Lex not have men guarding the gate? Something definitely weird is going on. I'm going to take a little stroll." She said smiling.
"I'll meet you back here." Clark said as they parted.
"Clark how the hell did you get past security!" Lex said angry.
"Why is this place deserted on a Saturday?"
"It's my problem Clark. I need security to escort someone out."
"Lex you know what's happening. If Jamie dies because of Luthor Corp-"
"She's not going to die. I've got the best of the best looking over her."
"Tell me."
"I can't Clark. I promise you she's not going to die."
OOOOOOOOOO
"Can't you get her heart rate down?" Jason asked worried.
"We're doing the best we can Mr. Teague." One of the doctors said. "I don't like this any better than you do."
"Any change?" Clark asked walking in with Lex.
"No. This is happening because of you isn't it!" Jason said angry at Lex.
"I didn't know this was going to happen!" Lex said.
"Of course not! Luthor's don't care who they hurt as long as they get what they want!"
"Jason calm down. This isn't helping her." Clark said.
"Nothing is helping her! You think she tells you everything? You don't even know half of it." Jason said.
"Calm down or I'll escort you out." Lex said.
Jamie stood up. "He's right. Your not even supposed to be here."
"Your awake!" He said hugging her.
She pulled away from him. "You think I'd still be with you after this? All of this is happening to me because of your mother. You brought her here." She accused.
"I told you the truth." Jason said hurt.
"No. All of this started happening to me when I met you. I'll never forgive you. EVER!"
"You want me to get rid of him?" Lex asked standing behind her.
"Let me."
"I always knew he couldn't be trusted." Clark said.
Lex handed her a gun and she pointed it at Jason. "I'm sorry. I did care about you once." Then she kissed Lex before turning back to Jason. "I kill you and all my problems go away."
"NO!" Jason yelled as the bullet hit him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Mr. Luthor it's happening to Jason Teague now." A doctor said.
"How can it be spreading so fast?" Lex demanded.
"Do you really want me to say 'I told you so'?"
Lex glared at him. "Do everything you can to make sure Jamie Kent doesn't die!"
"What about Teague?"
"I could care less if he lives."
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
"I can't believe this." Lana said as they were at the Torch.
"I know. Jason and Chloe got it now." Clark said. "Lex better find a cure fast."
"What was he thinking creating something that could spread like that?"
"He says it was made by Lionel before he got put in prison."
"I don't know what to believe. Sometimes Lex can be just like Lionel."
"We all do things for a reason."
"I know."
OOOOOOOOOOO
'How close are you for a cure?" Lex demanded.
"It has to be at a certain temperature. We don't know how long it will take."
"Lex!" Clark said worried. "My parents are in the hospital."
"I've got a cure but it has to be at a certain temperature." Lex said.
"What is it?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Couple of days later….
"You okay?"
"What?" She blinked looking at Clark.
"I'm worried about you."
"I'm fine. Just not being able to wake up when someone died wasn't easy."
"I can take care of the farm. Go home and get some rest."
She laughed. "Clark I can live without closing my eyes for awhile. Besides that latest one happened when I was awake. I've been lying to you. I can't keep this a secret anymore. I mean the only person who knows is Jason and I can't turn to him all the time." She turned her back to him. "Remember when Lionel took over your body and you kept asking if he did something? He did. Your not going to like what I'm about to say."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Clark say something." She pleaded 15 minutes later.
"What am I supposed to say? What you just told me-"
She knew he was in shock. "I don't blame you. It wasn't you."
"But it was my body and my face that you couldn't even look at." He sounded in pain.
"I don't blame you. You weren't yourself." She said again. "Uncle Jonathon can never find out about this. If he did he would murder Lionel."
"He already hates him as it is."
"I never wanted to hurt you-"
"You didn't hurt me. Lionel did this to us."
OOOOOOOOO
An hour late she walked in the apartment which was lit up in candles.
"Jason?"
"Hey. Just in time. Foods about done," He said in the kitchen.
She walked over. "What's going on?"
"You forgot. It's okay after everything that's happened."
"I'm still not following."
"It's our four month-"
"Oh! I'm sorry I forgot."
"I'm not mad. Where were you? I tried calling you."
"I was at the farm."
"From the look on your face it didn't go well."
"I told Clark." She said with a wince.
Jason looked shocked. "I thought we agreed telling him would be a bad idea."
"You were right. I should have never told him but he knew I was keeping things from him. We used to be close until what Lionel did."
"I'm sorry you can't tell him everything. Sometimes secrets are better kept."
"I'm starting to think that now which is why-" Then she trailed off.
"What were you going to say?"
"Which is why I didn't tell him about your mother," She said in a rush.
"I don't think it's any of Clark's business about my family."
"It's not." She lied. "Let's forget about this and have a nice night to ourselves. Please?" She said hugging him.
"Okay. Whatever you want," He said kissing the top of her head. "First some music," He said turning it on.
'This is just in. Lionel Luthor has been released from prison. It's unclear on how he got out but skeptics are saying he paid-'
Jason shut it off. "Are you okay?"
She was in shock. Lionel Luthor was released.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Well Clark if you get done early stop by the party." A dumb girl said.
Clark swallowed. "Okay."
The girls walked off.
"Clark can I ask you a really big favor?" Jamie asked in one of the girl's voice. "It's not like I can find anyone else."
Martha smiled. "She was cute."
"More like an airhead. Sorry Clark." Jamie said.
"What brings you here?" Clark said a little annoyed and avoided locking eyes with her.
"Lionel Luthor's out of prison." Jamie said.
Martha looked shocked. "Are you sure?"
"Me and Jason heard it on the radio 30 minutes ago."
"I don't understand how this could happen," Martha said shocked.
"That's what I thought," She said looking at Clark.
"One thing for sure is Lionel's not going to hurt us ever again," Clark vowed.
"So how is Jason?" Martha asked trying to lighten the mood.
They just looked at her.
Jamie's cell rang and she frowned when she checked it. "It's Lex."
"Maybe he's looking for Clark," Martha said.
"I'll take this." Jamie said walking away.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"Thank you for coming," Lex said.
"Like I have a choice?" Jamie said looking around.
"Why are you so nervous?"
"Maybe because the last time I was here your father tried to kill me."
"Good point."
"Why do you want to see me Lex? You want that debt now?"
"No. I'm saving that for when I really need it," He said smiling. "I came to offer peace."
"Peace?" She spat out.
"With my father out I know it will make things worse for you."
"Why would you say that?" She asked not believing him.
"Like I've said before. I care about you rather you believe it or not." Then he kissed her.
Images of Lionel entered her mind and she pulled back. "LET GO OF ME!" She said slapping him across the face. "What the hell do you think your doing?"
Lex rubbed the side of his face. "Showing you how I feel."
"I'm with JASON."
"Jason's not good for you."
She laughed. "You are? Give me a break. You're pathetic Lex. Jason and I are never breaking up so deal with it."
"Jason didn't tell you everything." He said when she was almost out of the room.
"He's been more honest with me than you'll ever know." She said walking out.
OOOOOOOOOOO
She went back to the barn and saw a pretty blonde girl talking to Clark.
"Jamie. How'd it go with Lex?" Clark asked.
"He was a pig."
"I'll talk to him."
"You don't have to. Sorry I didn't know you had company."
"It's okay. Jamie this is Alicia. Alicia this is my cousin," Clark said.
"Nice to meet you," Jamie said.
"You too" Alicia said.
"I better get back to Jason. Have fun Clark." She said with a smile as she left.
Alicia looked at him. "She's kidding," He said quickly and embarrassed.
"Actually she's right Clark. You need to learn to live a little."
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Where were you?" Jason asked.
"I went to the Talon after we heard the news then Lex called me."
"What did he want?"
"To break us up," She answered.
"What else is new?" Jason said kissing her.
"Don't worry. I slapped him hard across the face," She said with a smile.
"That's my girl," Jason said smiling too.
"I would love to really rub his face in this."
"Doesn't it sound kind of childish?"
"So?"
"Oh I forgot. A letter came for you." Jason said handing it to her.
"Huh." She opened it and read it quickly with a frown.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing. Someone trying to play a sick joke," She said putting it in the trash.
"What was in it?" He asked taking out of the trash.
"Jason-"
It was too late. His face turned angry. "Who could take this of us?" There was a picture.
"Might be Lex. I don't know! It wasn't signed!"
"This is an invasion of our privacy. I'm calling the Sheriff." He said grabbing the phone.
"Jason-"
"I'm not letting them get away with this after everything you've been through. I'm making the call." He said placing the picture on the counter.
30 minutes later the Sheriff arrived.
"What seems to be the problem?" Sheriff asked.
"Someone's been spying on us," Jason said handing her the letter and photo.
"Oh Dear," Sheriff said quickly giving Jason back the picture. "I can see why you called. Can you give me a list of names whom might have done this?"
"Try Lionel Luthor," Jason said angry.
"Jason." Jamie said not wanting the Sheriff to know what happened.
"Don't you think this is strange this happened on the same day he got out?" Jason asked.
The Sheriff looked from Jamie to Jason back and forth until she locked eyes with Jason. "Is there something you're not telling me?" She asked.
"No." Jamie said quickly. "Sheriff I'm sorry we called you out here but I can't give you anything."
"Ms. Kent can I see you outside alone?"
Jamie looked at Jason before going out in the hall and closing the door.
"What's wrong with you?" Sheriff asked.
"Someone just took a picture of us in an unpleasant way that no one was supposed to see us."
"I've known you seen you were a little girl. I can tell when you're lying. I want to help."
"Sheriff I appreciate you're concern I really do but I don't know who took that picture."
"I believe you don't know who took it. I also believe you're not telling me everything. You're boyfriend seems to know and is very concerned other wise he wouldn't have called me."
"Sheriff I'm sorry. Jason's just making it into something it's not."
"I know the Luthor's have gotten away with a lot of crime. If you decided you want to talk here's my number," She said handing her card to Jamie. "Have a good night." She said leaving.
Jamie walked in the apartment.
"You lied to her didn't you?" Jason said.
"What was I supposed to say? I was raped by Lionel Luthor who was actually inside Clark Kent's body?"
"Yes!"
"Jason come on! I didn't report what happened I didn't even go to the hospital to get examined. I got rid of the evidence now it's just my word against his. It'll never hold up in court."
Jason threw a cup he was holding against the wall and it shattered causing her to jump.
"I just hate what this is doing to us. You told Clark and it seems like it's just getting worse." He said.
"You're bleeding," She said seeing blood drip from his knuckles.
"I'm okay."
"Come here," She said taking him the bathroom while having warm water run over the cut. He winced. "Sorry." She said.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't able to protect you."
"We had a fight. It was my fault I didn't say something to my Uncle sooner when I sensed Clark wasn't himself." She turned the faucet off and took a towel while placing it on his hand.
"It just seems like every time we fight something bad happens. I don't want to be apart from you ever again."
"You won't."
Then her cell rang.
"Get it." He said putting a band aid on his hand.
She went and answered it. "Clark what's wrong? Okay I'll ask him." She went back in the bathroom. "Clark wants to know if we can double date with him."
"Clark's got a date?" Jason said shocked.
"A pretty blonde girl who I met earlier. He's nervous about being alone with her."
"Tell him we'll double. We need a night out anyways."
She got back on the phone. "He's says it's okay. See you tomorrow." She said hanging up.
"So, who's this girl?" Jason asked.
"All I know her name is Alicia though Clark acted like he'd seen her before."
"Good for him."
"Really?"
"I may be an ass but I'm not a complete ass."
"That's why I love you," She said kissing him.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Maybe this wasn't such a good idea," She said the next day trying to skate on the ice.
"I thought Kent's were fearless." Alicia said skating like nothing.
Alicia and Jason were skating like nothing making her and Clark look like dorks.
"We have our faults," Clark said trying to keep his balance.
"Not even you're super powers can help you now." Alicia said.
Jamie looked at Clark in shock making her fall down on her stomach. Jason laughed helping her get up.
"Thanks for laughing at me," Jamie said trying to get up.
"I'm sorry you should have seen the look on your face." He said trying to get her steady.
Then Clark fell down with Alicia.
"Perfect timing," Jamie said sarcastically. "Remind me never to do this as long as I live," She told Jason.
"You're not that bad." He said.
"Have you seen the little kids skate like nothing?" Jamie said ready to scream.
"I'm going to freshen up," Alicia said.
"Might as well take a bathroom break." Jason said.
"Have fun." Jamie told them as they skated like nothing. "How come they could do this and not us?"
"I don't know," He said catching himself at the rail stepping off the rink.
"So Alicia knows about your powers?" Jamie asked.
"I forgot to mention that didn't I?"
"Yeah," She said.
"Remember those letters I wrote you about a girl named Alicia?"
Her eyes widen. "That's her?"
"She's cured now."
"The things you learn everyday. She seems nice. I like her."
"You may be the only one."
"Because I wasn't around before to see her do those awful things?"
"Yes."
"Clark this is me. I've had a guy follow me have across the United States to get me. He even faked a marriage license. I know about these things." She said nudging his shoulder with her arm.
"I believe her. I shouldn't but I do"
"People can change if they want to Clark. It seems Alicia changed for the better."
"Well that wasn't easy." Jason said walking back with Alicia.
"What wasn't easy?" Jamie asked.
"I'll tell you at home."
"Never mind," She said.
"What should we do next?" Alicia asked.
"Anything but skate," Jamie said.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"You're late." Martha said later at the Talon.
"Sorry. I had a double date with Clark." Jamie said moving sorely.
"What'd you guys do?"
"We went ice staking which I'm never doing again."
Martha smiled. "Did he go out with the girl from yesterday?"
"Her name's Alicia." Jamie said putting on her apron.
"Alicia?" Martha said shocked.
"I guess you know her."
"She tried to kill Clark and Lana. How could she be released? What was he thinking?" she nearly yelled.
"Alicia seems normal."
"How could Clark do something like this?"
"Just don't tell him I told you," She pleaded.
"I've got to get home. I can trust you to close up?"
"Yes."
Jamie watched Martha leave. She'd never seen her Aunt angry before.
"What was that all about?" Chloe asked walking in.
"I said something I shouldn't have." Jamie said getting Chloe's usual drink.
"Does it have to do with Alicia?"
"You know?" she asked shocked while giving Chloe her drink.
"Clark had me do some research on her to see if she was lying. So far everything she's said has been true."
"That's good right?"
Chloe smiled. "You don't know Alicia. That girl will stop at nothing to get what she wants," She said taking a drink. "Just what I needed."
"Don't get hyper now."
"I can control my coffee intake."
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
She was still at the Talon at 1:00 a.m. when she saw Lana come down.
"You're working late." Lana said in her robe.
"Did I wake you?"
"No. "
"I had to restock everything, do the dishes, check inventory, count the money –"
"What happened to Mark?"
"His father was in a accident so I told him to go."
"Need help with anything?"
"That's okay. I just have to put all the sales into the computer then I'm out of here."
"How are things with Jason?"
Jamie looked up at her in shock.
"It's okay. I'm not mad," Lana said.
"It's fine. Great actually well not since his mother showed up."
"Meeting the family, that's got to be awkward."
"It is. With Jason being angry at his mother it doesn't make it any easier."
"Did he tell you about their fight?"
"I understand why he'd be angry but some people doesn't know how lucky they are to have their parents alive."
"You don't have to tell me that."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought it up."
"It's okay. We both had are parents taken away from us."
Jamie didn't say anything for a few seconds.
"Well I'm going to head back up. See you tomorrow." Lana said.
"Good night."
Jamie got up and went to the back office and quickly typed everything in before going home.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
The next morning she went over to the farm to give Martha papers when she saw Clark sitting at the kitchen table looking nervous as Martha talked to him.
"You ran off with a girl you barely know and got married!"
"It wasn't legal." Clark said.
"It doesn't matter-" Martha stopped when she saw Jamie. "Now's not a good time."
"I just came to drop these off from last night." Jamie said handing her the folder.
"Thank you." Martha said taking it. "Actually can you help with the farm this morning? Jonathon's not feeling well."
"Sure,' Jamie said quickly wanting to get out of the room. She went outside and in the barn when she saw Uncle Jonathon making wood with angry hits. "Need help?"
He stopped in mid air. "I'm fine." He said hitting the wood.
"Aunt Martha said you need help."
"I've got it." He said grabbing another log and placing it.
"Okay." She said going to her car.
What did she miss? Clark got married? That couldn't be right but the way her Uncle was acting-
Her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"It's me."
"Oliver I thought we agreed it's too dangerous for you to call," She said worried.
"I just thought you'd ought to know that Lex Luthor's after the stones."
She swallowed.
"We can't let him get them. He already has the map," Oliver continued.
"I'll keep on it." She said hanging up. "Don't I ever get a break?" She muttered to herself.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The next night…
"Jason, we're going to be late," Jamie yelled from the living room. "What are you a girl? What's taking you so long?"
"First off I am not a girl," He said coming out of the bedroom advancing on her. "Second I don't want to do Karaoke."
"Everyone's going to be there and you don't have to sing."
"You promise?" He asked leering down to kiss her.
"I promise," She said kissing him.
"We could stay in tonight," He said in her ear.
"Sound like someone needs a cold shower," She said with a smile as she opened the door.
"Your evil," Jason said following her.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Do we have to be here?" Jason complained again.
"Karaoke's fun," Jamie said as they tried to grab a table at the Talon.
"I'm not singing." He said as they sat down.
"Okay."
He looked at her. "You're not going to give me a hard time about this?"
"I'll sing by myself and have nice sleep for once when we get home." She said smiling.
"I knew there was a catch." He muttered.
"You guys made it." Lois said with Chloe and Lana.
"I wouldn't miss this." Jamie said.
"What song are you going to sing? We don't want to do the same one."
"I'm thinking something from Boston." Jamie said.
"Cool." Chloe said. "You have guts to sing by yourself."
"Wish me luck," Jamie said giving him a quick kiss before getting on stage.
"You must be so proud." Lana said smiling.
"She has her moments." Jason said.
"It's been such a long time
I think I should be goin'
And time doesn't wait for me it keeps on rollin'
Sail on- on a distant highway-" Jamie sang.
15 minutes later….
"Sure you don't want to sing?" Jamie asked Jason.
"I think I can use a nice sleep too." He said with a smirk.
"Come on cuz. We're up." Lois said.
"Have fun." Lana said.
They watched them on stage when Jamie got a headache.
"You okay?" Lana asked concerned.
"I just need to get some air." Jamie said standing up.
"I'll come with you." Jason said.
"I'll be right back." Jamie said hurrying outside.
"She didn't look so good." Lana said.
"She'll be okay." Jason said worried.
Once in the alley Jamie sat down against the dirty wall and rubbed her forehead as images flashed.
Lana was taking a shower next thing she was attacked by something invisible.
"No." Jamie groaned as her vision cleared. "Not again."
"Are you okay?" A teenage boy asked.
"Just a migraine," She said standing up.
"Okay." She watched him walk off for a minute before going inside the Talon.
"Are you okay?" Martha asked worried. "You look faint." She said feeling her forehead.
"I had a vision. I need to see Clark." Just trying to talk wore her out.
"You had another one awake?" Martha asked worried.
"I saw Lana strangled. I need to find Clark."
"He's by the stage."
Jamie went and looked for Clark. She saw Lana was gone but Alicia was there.
"You missed it." Lois said.
"What?" Jamie asked.
"Clark's psycho girlfriend showed up and Lana freaked," Lois explained.
Jamie ignored that last remark. "Where's Jason?"
"I don't know."
Jamie went up the stairs as fast as she could ignoring Clark call her name. She checked the lock on Lana's door and found it locked.
"What's wrong?" Clark asked worried.
"I saw Lana die. You have to open the door."
He turned the knob with one twist and it snapped off.
"LANA!" Jamie called.
"In here!" Jason yelled.
Jamie and Clark ran to the bathroom where Jason held Lana in the bathtub.
"What happened?" Clark asked.
"You're new girlfriend tried to strangle her." Jason said looking at him angry.
"You don't know it was Alicia. I saw her downstairs." Jamie said calling an ambulance.
"Who else could vanish into thin air?" Jason said sarcastically.
"Do I have to remind you that this is Smallville?" Jamie said getting mad.
Clark looked at her in surprise.
"It figures. You always stick up for Clark." Jason said.
"Well I'm not too fond of you myself right now." She said blinking her eyes trying to stop the room from spinning.
"Are you okay?" Jason asked worried.
"I feel-" Jamie passed out.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"You had us worried." Jonathon said at her bed side.
"Don't tell me I'm in the hospital," Jamie groaned.
"You gave us all a scare." Martha said.
"Where's Jason?" Jamie asked.
"He's with Lana." Jonathon said. "How can you have another vision awake?"
"She can't control them Jonathon." Martha said.
"Are you okay?" Jonathon asked.
"It's just-" Jamie swallowed back bile. Then she jump off the bed and barely made it to the toilet before throwing up.
"That sounds pleasant," Jonathon said with a grimaced.
"I'll go get Jason." Martha said leaving.
Jamie flushed the toilet and put water in her mouth from the sink.
"You don't look so good." He said as she came out of the bathroom.
"I got like this last time I had one awake." Jamie said sitting on the bed.
"Martha went to get Jason."
"I don't want to see him right now."
"You two have another fight?"
"He accused Alicia of trying to kill Lana when I saw Alicia downstairs before it happened."
"I know you weren't here last year but Alicia did try to kill Clark and Lana."
"People change," she argued.
"All I'm saying is some people can't be helped."
"Alicia's one of them?"
"You're like Clark wanting to see the good in people."
"I've been around her. She's changed. I actually like her."
"Look who I found." Martha said bringing Jason in.
"We'll leave you two alone." Jonathon said as they left the room.
"I'm sorry we fought." Jason said.
"What were you doing upstairs with Lana?"
"She was too scared to be alone. I said I'd stay until she went to sleep. I've never seen her like that."
"Are you still helping her research her family history?"
"Why are you asking me this?"
"I'm just trying to understand. One minute we're okay and the next- I just want to get out of here and go home." She said looking for her clothes.
"Hey," He said making her face him. "You know all of this started because of those stones."
"I thought you're mother started it when she came here."
"These stones are somehow connecting everyone with it except you."
"Maybe I should have taken Lex's offer."
"You can't be serious."
"If I did then we'd know more about them. He has all the resources."
"Working with Lex is a guarantee that you have a better chance at running into Lionel. I know you don't want that. What if I take it?"
"I shouldn't have even brought it up."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The next day Jamie went to the farm to work.
"You don't have to work today." Jonathon said. "You still look pale."
"I'm fine. I promise." Jamie said.
"I have to go into town and pick up some parts. Don't over do it," He warned.
"I won't."
She walked in the barn and saw Clark and Alicia.
"What are you doing here?" Clark asked surprised to see her.
"It's my day to work on the farm. Didn't mean to interrupt." Jamie said.
"I was just trying to tell Clark that I wasn't the one who attacked Lana." Alicia said.
Jamie looked at Clark then back at Alicia. "I believe you."
Alicia sighed with relief. "At least someone does."
"Clark I saw her. Alicia didn't attack Lana so we need to start looking into people with powers who are similar to Alicia's." Jamie said. "It's the only way we'll be able to prove you're innocent to everyone."
"I don't know how to thank you." Alicia said.
"I'll get Chloe to help at school." Clark said.
"In the meantime I think I should stick with Alicia. Whoever did this could attack again then at least we could give you and alibi." Jamie said.
"Okay. I'll call you if Chloe finds anything." Clark said leaving for school.
"He still doesn't believe me." Alicia said.
"I can tell how much you two like each other. Whoever did this knew how to get to you. I promise I'm going to do everything I can to help."
"I believe you. You may be the only friend I have."
"You may get tired of me"
"I don't think so."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"So Jamie thinks Alicia's innocent?" Chloe asked at the Torch.
"She seems pretty positive it wasn't her." Clark said.
"But you're not so sure?"
"My heart tells me to believe her but my guts telling me another."
"I'll look up and see what I can find." Chloe said already typing away.
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Why would Lex Luthor want to see me?" Jason said. "Did my mother put you up to this?"
"Jason I'm offended." Lex said.
"Let me guess. You couldn't offer Jamie the job so now my mother asked you to have me do it?"
"I just want Jamie well take in care of. I mean she's helping out on the farm and working at the Talon while you're a part time assistant coach."
"Who's in school." Jason shot back.
"Well I have to say you're interested if you showed up."
"We both know this is all about the stones. I don't want her involved in this. She's already suffered enough."
"I know she's had a hard life-"
"It's something you're father did to her. I don't want her anywhere near this place that could be access for Lionel. That's why I'm taking the job. Jamie doesn't get involved in any of this." Jason threatened. "That's the deal."
"What did my father do to her that I don't know about?" Lex asked shocked.
"You can ask him that. With me working for you Jamie never finds out about this."
"It will be just between us then." Lex said.
OOOOOOOOO
Jamie and Alicia was at the apartment watching a movie. It was already 5:00p.m.
"I love this movie." Alicia said.
"When you said you liked black and white ones I was shocked. I can never get Jason to watch one with me."
"That's what people don't get. Back then it was based on acting. Now it's all special effects."
"That's what I say!"
"You think Clark's okay? He hasn't called."
"Chloe probably didn't find anything yet."
"Are you sure Jason won't mind me being here? I don't want to get you in more trouble."
"It's fine. Besides he told me he was studying tonight at the library."
"Studying?"
"He has trouble concentrating here."
"Got it," Alicia said when her phone rang. "I'll be right there." She said hanging up. "I have to go home."
"What's wrong?"
"Something's wrong with one of the horses."
"I'll drive you."
OOOOOOOOOO
"That's weird they seem fine." Alicia said 15 minutes later.
"Do you know who called you?" Jamie asked.
"It sounded like the caretaker but I don't see him anywhere."
Jamie frowned when she saw dirt blow up towards Alicia.
"Alicia move towards me." Jamie said.
"Why?" Alicia said starting to walk toward her when the dirt turned into human.
It was the boy from the alley!
"You shouldn't have come with her." He told Jamie holding Alicia. "I thought you were different than the rest."
"What are you talking about?" Jamie asked.
"How could you believe these freaks can change for the better? They can't!" He yelled.
"If you do this to her then you'll be the same."
"I'm just trying to make Smallville better the way it was before the meteor shower hit. It was so easy to frame you." He said in Alicia's ear.
"You kill her you'll have to kill me too. Can you kill innocent people?" Jamie asked him.
"Done it before for the better," He said pulling out a rope with a noose and tightening it around Alicia's neck.
"Jamie tell Clark I love him." Alicia said with her eyes wide in fear.
"She won't be able too. How about I leave him a note pinned to you're body?" He said tying it to a post. "Your next," He told Jamie.
Jamie tripped him as his foot kicked Alicia off.
"NO!" Jamie yelled trying to hold Alicia.
"Just let me go." Alicia said. "He'll kill us both."
"He'll get me anyways. I'm not leaving you."
"Do it. Besides Clark, you're the only one who didn't judge me. Let go he's coming around," She begged.
"Should have listened to her," The boy said grabbing Jamie away from Alicia.
Jamie watched in horror as the rope snapped Alicia's neck.
"There. That wasn't so bad." He said smiling.
Why didn't I see this? She asked herself.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"You won't get away with this." Jamie said as she was tied up to a chair.
"No one knows where we are. By the time Clark finds Alicia you'll be dead. It's funny actually I thought you were supposed to see people's death's before it happens. I wonder why you didn't see Alicia's or your's."
"How'd you know-"
"I have resources. I liked you. I know you don't believe me but I did. That's why I'm going to make you're death quick." He said pointing a gun at her chest.
She struggled against the ropes when Clark came trying to knock him down. The gun went off and hit her.
"I'm going to kill you!" She heard Clark yell.
"Oh my God," Lois said going to where Jamie was tied up and bleeding fast. "Clark don't kill him."
"He killed Alicia and killed Jamie." Clark said strangling him.
"She's still alive. We have to get her to the hospital. You kill him you'll be just like him. Alicia wouldn't want that for you," Lois said.
Clark knocked him out and went over to help Lois untie Jamie who was looking really pale.
"You're going to be okay." Clark said. "Just keep you're eyes open."
OOOOOOOOO
"Where is she?" Jason said worried.
"She's still in surgery. The bullet was deep." Lois said.
"How did this happen?"
"It was never Alicia who attacked Lana. The guy who did it is in the burn unit." Lois said.
"Where's the Kent's?"
"In the waiting room," She answered. "Jason don't start anything with Clark."
"He's the reason why she's in there fighting for her life!"
"The doctor said we got her here in time. There's a good chance she's going to pull through. She did manage to say something though."
"What?"
"She said the guy knew something about her. He had resources. It was all kind of gibberish. Where are you going?" Lois watched as he walked away. "Great."
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Why is it taking so long?" Jonathon asked.
"They said it was pretty deep Jonathon." Martha said.
"Where did Clark go?"
"I think he needed to be by himself."
"I thought Jason would be here by now."
"He was." Lois said. "I told him what happened and he left."
"That's odd." Martha said. "You'd think he'd be staying."
"Well nothing good comes out of waiting." Jonathon said.
"She's going to be fine." Martha said. "She's made it before."
"One of these days our lucks going to run out," Jonathon said.
"Here he comes." Lois said.
"How is she?" Jonathon asked the doctor.
"She lost a lot of blood but she's fine. We had to give her a transfusion," The doctor said.
Jonathon sighed with relief. "Can we see her?"
"She's still out of it. The best thing to do would be go home and get some sleep. She'll be released in a couple of days." He said.
"Thank you," Martha said.
"You two can go back to the barn." Jonathon said.
"Jonathon you heard what the doctor said-" Martha began.
"I'm not leaving her like I did when she couldn't wake up. I'll be fine."
"Just don't do what I think you're going to do." Martha said before leaving with Lois.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
:"I though I made it clear you don't start until tomorrow," Lex said as Jason walked in angry.
"The deals off," Jason said angry.
"I made it clear that Jamie wasn't going to find out-"
"She was shot tonight! I think it's funny she happened to get shot on the same day I take a deal with the devil."
"I didn't know she got shot. Is she okay?" Lex asked worried.
"Last I heard she was in surgery."
"Jason I swear on my life I had nothing to do with what happened."
"For a second there I almost believed you."
"I don't want her hurt any more than you do."
"Then Lionel had to do this." Jason said.
"What about you're mother?" Lex shot back.
"Maybe our parents are doing this behind our backs. Did you ever think of that?"
"If it's true then we have to stick together. We can't let them when. Are you still in?" Lex asked.
OOOOOOOOO
"Why does my chest feel like it's on fire?" Jamie asked opening her eyes.
"You don't remember what happened?" Jonathon asked.
"Alicia's-"
"You were shot."
"How's Clark?"
"Not good. It'll take time. I want you to move back to the farm," He said seriously.
"Uncle Jonathon-"
"It seems like you've been getting more hurt since you moved in with Jason. Don't get me wrong I like him-"
"It would have happened to me if I was at the farm or not. Besides with Lois living there when she's in town there's just not enough room."
"There always is for you."
"I'm happy living with Jason. I know we fight more than most couples but I love him."
"I know you do. I just promised my sister that I'd look out for you. I haven't been doing a good job."
"Yes you have. Life's not always roses," She said smiling.
"To tell the truth the house has been kind of empty with you gone."
"I thought Lois was making it up for me."
"She can be a handful with the way her and Clark bicker." He said agreeing.
"Thought you might be hungry," Jason said with a bag of food. "Had to pay off a nurse."
"Make sure she doesn't push herself." Jonathon said leaving.
"Did I miss something?" Jason asked setting the bag down.
"He's just worried. Where were you?"
"I knew it wouldn't do any good waiting so I went out and got some food. I'm sorry I didn't believe you about Alicia."
"I feel sorry for Clark right now."
"He'll be okay. Hope you're hungry," He said opening the bag.
"Is that what I think it is?" She asked happy.
"You're favorite chicken dinner meal," He said handing it to her.
"Yummy," She said opening the carton and took out a chicken strip eating it. "Want some?" She asked her mouth full.
"I think I'm good," Jason said surprised at the way she was eating.
"You never had trouble eating food from me before," She said with a frown.
"Let's just forget everything and concentrate on just us for now."
She smiled before kissing him. "When I get out of here we'll have all the time in the world. We should take that vacation."
"Are you sure?" He said surprised.
"Yes. I don't want to think about anything except us."
"Guess we better plan where we're going then," He said with a grin.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Author's Note: Hope this made up for the wait. Next post will be Jamie and Jason on their vacation. I just haven't decided where yet.
