OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
About two weeks had passed since Alicia's death and Jamie getting shot. Clark was still grieving but was back to doing his everyday life routine. Jamie still sort of blamed herself for not having a vision of Alicia's death even though Clark tried to tell her it wasn't her fault. She still couldn't understand why she only got visions of certain people in trouble or why she had them at all. Jason was gone a lot more because of exams. Jamie was going stir crazy because everyone was treating her like she was fragile after getting shot but she was going out of her mind not being able to do anything. Sure she caught up on her favorite books, movies and television shows. Among that she cleaned the apartment spotless and did all the laundry that had piled up in the bedroom. Her eyes went wide when she saw how big the pile of dirty clothes had gotten while she was out of commission. She didn't know how Jason survived having clean clothes before they met. So now after all that she went to the Talon and was about to beg to be able to work again.
"Clark's checking out Met U?" Jamie asked at the Talon.
"He and Chloe are riding together."
"So you and Uncle Jonathon get the house to your selves." Jamie said grinning.
"We love having you kids there. Besides it doesn't mean we're-"
"When was the last time you two got to have a nice quiet dinner together?"
Martha tried to think. "Not for a couple of months. That's bad isn't it?"
"No. Not to change the subject but when can I come back to work?"
"You were shot less than 2 weeks ago."
"I'm going crazy at the apartment. There's only so much football I can watch and I did all the cleaning and everything," She begged.
Martha laughed. "Jason is-"
"I know. He seems to be staying gone longer at night though."
"It'll give you a break from football then. When the doctor says it's okay then I'll let you come back."
"Hey," Lana said approaching them. "Haven't seen you for a while," She said to Jamie.
"Are you going with Clark and Chloe to Met U?" Jamie asked.
"No. I'm not even sure where I want to go. I'm not even sure if I want to right away."
"Don't make the same mistake I did," Jamie said.
"Do you regret not going to college?"
"Well I've taken some night classes but that doesn't make up for not getting to meet new people and the whole experience."
"After everything's that happened I was just thinking of taking some time off after graduation," Lana said.
"I hear that. Has Jason been helping you still with your family history?"
"Not for awhile. Why?"
"He's just been staying gone longer at night that's all."
"To tell you the truth I don't want to learn about it anymore."
"Why?"
"You remember when I was possessed at Chloe's party?"
"You're descendent is a witch. I get it."
"Not only that but I look just like her. What if I'm some reincarnation of her? Is that why she was able to control me? I've heard of people experiencing past lives."
"Isobel was kind of a slut witch Lana. You're completely different from her."
"You know in those cartoons when they have the good and the bad on each shoulder telling them what to do? What if I'm the good part of Isobel?"
"Never thought of it like that before. We all have different sides that no one ever sees."
"If I tell you something can you keep this between us?"
"What is it?"
"I've been having dreams of Isobel being burned at a stake. In the crowd a woman steps forward and she looked exactly like Jason's mother. What if Jason's descendents and mine were involved somehow? I just think it was strange meeting him in Paris before all of this started."
"I agree it was weird. Genevieve Teague has hidden talents."
"Do you know anything his family that might help? I don't want to ask him."
"No. I'm sorry."
"I just wish all of this would go away."
"As Jason would say this isn't a bad dream that we could wake up from."
"That was the one thing I hated about him was when he was right."
"Tell me about it."
OOOOOOOOOOO
Jamie went back to the apartment and got on the web. She clicked on the search engine and typed GENEVIEVE TEAGUE in and pressed Enter.
"You won't find anything."
She jumped. "Oliver! You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing here? We agreed it wasn't safe for you to be here."
"I just got some information that you're not going to like."
"Since when do you ever come with good news?"
"It's about Jason. He's working for Lex."
She looked like he slapped her. "No he's not."
"He started last week. Think about all the times he's been gone for long periods at a time. I'm telling you this because I don't want you to get hurt."
"You're lying. Jason would never work for Lex. You just can't stand the fact that I'm happy with Jason."
"I'm never going to be happy seeing you with someone else but I want you to be happy. There's something off with Jason."
"Get out." She said getting angry. "I'm not going to let you talk about him like this."
"How well do you really know him? You said so yourself he's been acting different since his mother came to town."
"They don't have a good relationship. That's it."
"Genevieve Teague has a special bond with Jason. Why do you think she's never liked any of his girlfriends?"
"How could you even say that? That's disgusting!"
"You said he hasn't spoken to her since last June. I found these." He said pulling out photos.
"Pictures of him in Paris with Genevieve," She said slowly staring at the photos.
"I think Genevieve is slowly pulling him into this without him even knowing. I just wanted to warn you."
"Leave."
"I didn't come here to upset you-"
"GET THE HELL OUT!"
"I'll keep in touch." He said leaving.
She sat down on the couch still looking at the photos.
OOOOOOOOOOO
An hour later Jason walked in.
"Where were you?" Jamie asked.
"I was at the library like I told you. What's wrong with you?"
"Are you sure you weren't working for you're new boss Lex?"
"Did Lex tell you?"
"No. Why did you lie to me? How in the hell could you keep something like this from me?" She practically screamed.
"I took the job so I could protect you!"
"From who?"
"My mother, Luthor's, Clark."
"Why would I need protection from Clark? He'd never hurt me."
"He did once!"
"That wasn't him! If I can except that why can't you?"
"I know that you're angry-"
"I'm way beyond angry. I'm pissed! I never thought I could get this mad!"
"You don't understand!" Jason said starting to get angry himself.
"Then tell me! I've always been here Jason."
"I told you I've seen what keeping secrets did to my parent's marriage and I don't want to end up like that but please believe me when I say I'm trying to protect you. Like you said before with one of us working for Lex we'd be able to have more information about the stones. Yes my mother came to me in Paris but as you can see in the photos I'm not very happy to see her. I don't want to lose you."
"I don't want to lose you either. I know first hand working for a Luthor is a death sentence. Ask Chloe."
"Chloe got out alive. So will I. Better me than you."
"Jason I can see us having a future together. Even if we have to survive Lex or your mom to do it," She said.
"I want to spend the rest of my life with you too. That's why I'm doing this. I'm willing to do whatever it takes."
"What about when Lex finds out the truth?"
"He already knows I have an agenda."
"And he still wanted you to work for him?" She asked shocked.
"I hate Lex with a passion but the one thing we agree on is that we don't want to see you get hurt."
"Please be careful. I already lost too many people in my life."
"I will."
OOOOOOOOOOO
Lois was paralyzed lying in a sewer when water reached over her body struggling for air.
She woke up panting.
"Another dream?" Jason asked as they lay in bed.
"Lois. I've got to call Clark."
"Or Chloe," Jason said irritated hearing Clark's name again.
"Don't start Jason. Lois could die," She said grabbing the phone.
OOOOOOOOO
The next morning Jamie woke up and noticed Jason wasn't on his side of the bed. The bedroom door was opened with a crack. Slowly she forced herself out of bed slowly. Her bullet wound still bothered her if she moved the wrong way. She walked into the kitchen trying to force the rest of the sleep away but failing.
"Since when do you cook?" Jamie asked half asleep in the kitchen.
"Since I was an ass for not telling you I was working for Lex," Jason said with a spatula in his hand.
"You were an ass but you don't have to cook." She said sitting down.
"It's the least I can do with you always cleaning the apartment and doing my laundry," He added with a smirk.
"It's your apartment."
"Our apartment. We're both paying bills."
"How did you survive not doing your laundry? Did you buy new clothes or something?"
"Of course not," He said but the look on his face told him he did.
"Not to kill the mood but are you working for Lex today?"
"No. Why?"
"Well I don't have to work at the Talon or the farm today. Don't know when I'll be able to go back so…"
He had a goofy grin on his face. "Play time?"
"If you're a good boy," She said grinning.
They started kissing when her cell rang.
"Answer it." Jason said.
"No. Today's just going to be about us."
"That won't happen if you're phone keeps ringing."
"I'll turn it off."
"Then what if someone stops by when we're in the middle of…"
"Okay. This better be good," She said to whoever was on her phone.
"It's me. I need you to get to the farm right away." Clark said.
"Did something happen? Is Lois okay?"
"She's fine. I got to her in time."
"Then what is it?"
"You have to see it for yourself."
"I'll be there," She said hanging up. "I have to go to the farm real quick. I promise I'll come right back."
"Clark," Jason said in the same tone he used when saying Clark's name.
"Please don't do this again. I'll be back as fast as I can." She said giving him a quick kiss.
"Are you going to change?"
She looked at her pajamas. "It's 6:00a.m. I'll just wear a coat over it."
OOOOOOOOOOOO
"Clark this better be good." She said walking in the farm.
"It is. Well at least I think it is." Clark said. "You're still in you're pajamas?"
"I thought I was going to sleep in today. Make this fast. Jason's waiting for me."
"Are things bad between you two?" Noticing a tone in her voice.
"Things are actually great for once. Every time we find a good place something always seems to get in the way."
"Last night Lois hit a dog.," He said walking out the barn.
"So Lois hit a dog. What hasn't she hit when she drives?" She joked smiling.
Clark smiled too. "This dog is special."
"Special like….."
His smile faded. "He has powers. Kind of like me."
"A dog?" she asked surprised. "He seems harmless."
"He's a sweet dog. He just has super strength."
"Hey." Chloe said getting out of her car. "You still dressed in you're pajamas?"
"I was called over here last minute," Jamie gritted through her teeth.
"What are you doing here this early?" Clark asked.
"Came to give Lois her mail before school," She explained. "Who's dog is it?"
"Lois hit him last night. We're looking for the owner." Clark said.
"She should not be allowed to drive." Chloe said. "I'm going to go give this to her." She said going inside.
"So if the dog has super strength you think that tractor's going to hold him?" Jamie asked.
"Well I'm hoping he won't try anything with Lois around. It'd be hard to explain."
"I need some coffee or I'm going to get grouchier." Jamie said.
:"You don't drink coffee," He said with a frown.
"Clark…" Jamie warned.
"Be right back buddy." Clark said as they headed for the steps when a loud crunch noise happened.
"You don't think…" Jamie said looking at Clark.
They both turned around and the dog was wagging his tail at them.
"Wow. He does have super strength." Jamie said walking over to the dog petting him.
"Okay what happened?" Lois asked in shock.
Jamie and Clark looked at each other not knowing what to say.
"The emergency slip must have slipped," Chloe said.
"Right," Clark said playing along.
"The tractors old," Chloe continued. "It happens."
Jamie just looked at Chloe weird.
"You're still in you're pajamas?" Lois asked.
"Okay I'm going home before anyone else asks me that. Clark you know the drill," Jamie said walking to her car.
"What was that about?" Lois asked.
"She's not a morning person." Clark said.
"I thought she would be for working on a farm."
"If she tries to sleep in and we call her then she's grouchy. Like you." Clark said smiling.
"Okay. I'm going to leave before the bickering goes on anymore." Chloe said.
"We do not bicker," Lois said.
"Yes you do." Chloe said leaving.
"This is all your fault." Lois said.
"My fault?" Clark said.
"You couldn't have kept your mouth shut."
"I'm not even going to respond to that."
OOOOOOOO
"Jason I'm back." She said in the apartment.
"He's not here." Lex said stepping out of the shadows.
"What do you think you're doing in here?" She demanded.
"I sent Jason on an errand."
"I bet. Could you leave now so I can take a shower?"
"What was so important that you had to take off in your pajamas?"
"It's none of your business. Now get the hell out of my apartment."
"I understand my father did something to you. I want to know what that is."
"Why don't you ask him?"
"I did. He told me to ask you."
"Well I hate to burst your bubble Lex but what happened is none of your business. Now leave before I start screaming."
"I know you well enough to know something bad happened. Why don't you just tell me?"
"Don't make me repeat myself."
"I can help you despite what you think of me. I helped you before."
"For something in return," She said with a sneer. "Ask Chloe. It almost cost her life helping you."
"I didn't tell her to work for my father. I know your not stupid enough to do that."
"If you think you know me as well as you say you do you'd leave."
"I'll leave. Just so you know it's only a matter of time before it comes out." He said leaving.
"Ass." She said to herself when her phone rang. "Yes." She said annoyed.
"Did I call at a bad time?" Clark asked.
"Lex was here."
"I was just going to see him. I found one of those tag tracers and he belongs to Luthor Corp."
"You're going to have to see Lex alone. I had enough of him for today."
"I'll call you soon as I find out anything."
"I bet."
All she heard was a dial tone.
"Maybe I shouldn't have said that." She said turning her phone off ready for a shower.
OOOOOOOOOOOO
An hour later after she got ready she headed back to the farm where she saw Lois with the dog.
"Still got the dog?" Jamie asked petting it while it licked her hand.
"His names Clarkie," Lois said smiling. Then she sneezed. "Maybe you can take care of the dog for a while."
"You were the one who hit him," Jamie argued.
"Would people stop saying that? He's fine. I just need a break from my allergies," She begged.
"Okay. I'll play catch with Clarkie," Jamie said making the dog bark.
"Thank you. I just have to run to town real quick to get something for this." She said pointing at her nose.
"Where's Clark?"
"He's still at Lex's I guess. Thank you so much." Lois said leaving.
"I'm going to call you Krypto. Clarkie is just too confusing." Jamie said petting his head
"Where's Lois?" Martha asked from the porch.
"She needed a break from allergies."
Martha smiled. "Since you're here do you think you can help Jonathon? I don't want him pushing himself."
"Sure." Jamie said. "Sorry Krypto. No ball playing right now."
Krypto barked.
OOOOOOOOOOO
"Jason, nice to see you," Martha said at the Talon.
"You too. I was looking for Jamie. I stopped by the apartment and she wasn't there and she's not answering her phone," he said.
"She's at the farm. I thought she would have called you."
"Well we didn't leave on best of terms this morning."
"I know you've been having problems with her helping Clark."
"Mrs. Kent-"
"They have a special bond."
"I know that."
"She loves you very much. I just hope you two can work whatever it is out."
"I'm going to stop by the farm."
"Why don't you two stay for dinner tonight?"
"I wouldn't want to impose-"
"You wouldn't. It'd be my pleasure."
"See you tonight."
OOOOOOOOOOO
Jamie was staring down over the barn window thinking when she heard someone walk up to her.
"You're kind of close to the edge there," Jonathon said.
She turned around. "I was just looking out."
"Is everything okay with you?"
"Yeah. I just haven't been getting enough sleep. Ever since the coma-like sleep."
"Maybe you should see someone."
"I'm fine."
"I was talking with Martha and we know it's been hard on you're relationship with Jason to keep Clark's secret form him."
"That and other secrets," She said.
"Is there something you haven't told us that we should know about?"
"I don't want to start anything."
"Does it concern Clark?"
"Jason's mother has been looking for the stones all his life."
Jonathon looked shocked. "When did you find this out?"
"About a month ago. I didn't mean to keep this from you it's just everyone's looking for those stones at once and I don't know who to trust."
"Do you think Jason's helping his mother?"
"He's not. I found out that she's been using him."
"How did you find out?"
"Oliver," She said wincing.
"OLIVER QUEEN!" Jonathon said nearly exploding.
"Don't be mad at him. He's been giving me information about the stones and keeping tabs on Lex."
"I have to admit Oliver's resourceful. I just don't understand why you didn't tell me right away if it concerns Clark."
"You're still recovering after what happened. I didn't want to put anymore stress on you than you already have with the farm."
Krypto started barking.
"Easy there," Jason said nervous.
"Krypto sit," Jamie said.
The dog sat back down.
"Funny thing happened today." Jason said.
"What?"
"You're Aunt invited us for dinner tonight."
"Say yes." Jonathon said.
"Yes," She said.
"I got some more work to do outside." He said leaving.
"What was that about?" Jason asked.
"He thinks I should see someone about my not sleeping."
"It wouldn't hurt."
"Will everyone just stop worrying? Just because I see people dying doesn't mean I'm going to have a breakdown."
"Getting attacked and seeing people dying would. We're all concerned that's all."
Krypto started growling at him.
"Krypto. Down boy," She warned.
"He doesn't seem to like me."
"I like you." She said kissing him.
Krypto started barking wild.
"It's okay," She said.
"Maybe I should leave."
"You're not going anywhere." She said kissing him more.
The barking went louder.
"Krypto. I mean it." Jamie said.
"There you are Jason. I've been looking all over for you." Genevieve said. "Is that dog safe to be out?"
"Now I know why it's acting like that. You always had a way with animal's mother," Jason said.
"Jason I came for a friendly visit," Genevieve said.
"Since when?"
"Jason I'm trying but you're not making it any easier. Perhaps we should discuss this alone."
"Mother I'm done talking. You came here so now you can leave."
"I'll leave you two alone," Jamie said.
"You don't have to leave. My mother does."
"Okay Jason if that's the way you want it. I'll be waiting," Genevieve said leaving.
"I'm sorry. She had no right to come here," Jason said.
"You think she's digging for information?"
"I wouldn't but it past her."
OOOOOOOO
"I think it would be nice for Clark to have a dog. It's been kind of a lonely year for him," Martha said.
"What about when he goes off to college? Who will get stuck taking care of it? I will," Jonathon said.
"I can watch it for Clark," Jamie said as she and Jason were setting the table
"You already help us enough," Jonathon said.
"I've got to use the restroom," Jason said.
"You know where it's at," Jamie said smiling.
Jason went upstairs.
"LOIS! DINNER!" Martha called.
There was a crash. "What was that?" Jamie asked as they went in the dinning room.
Krypto was eating the dinner. "Hey! Hey!" Jonathon said trying to pull the meat away.
"Remember when Clark did that? He was four." Martha said.
"This isn't funny Martha," Jonathon said finally getting the meat away. "Man!"
"What happened to the table?" Lois asked.
"Krypto was hungry," Jamie said.
"I thought we were calling him Clarkie," She said.
"Wouldn't that get confusing?" Jason asked coming back down. He saw the mess. "What happened?"
Everyone just looked at him.
OOOOOOOOO
"Sorry about dinner guys. Looks like it's just Sandwiches tonight," Martha said.
"It's okay. Sandwiches are my specialty," Lois said.
OOOOO
"That was eventful," Jason said outside.
"Never a dull moment at the Kent farm," Jamie said agreeing.
They watched as Jonathon took the trash out to the bin.
"Guess he had it worse," She said.
All of a sudden a black dog showed up growling at Jonathon.
"Woah." He said.
"Uncle Jonathon!" Jamie yelled worried running towards him.
"Keep her back Jason!" Jonathon yelled.
"Let go of me!" Jamie yelled at Jason.
Then the dog started attacking Jonathon.
Jamie stomped on Jason's foot causing him to release her and she ran at Jonathon.
"Jonathon!" Martha yelled.
"Stay back!" He cried.
"Hey!" Jamie said grabbing the dog's tail.
It turned around and barely missed biting her hand when Krypto jumped at it causing Jamie to fall next to Jonathon with a thud.
All of a sudden there was a dog whistle and they both took off.
Jamie turned around. "Are you okay?" She asked Jonathon who was holding his hand.
OOOOOOOOOO
"How come you didn't have a vision about this?" Clark asked at the hospital.
"I don't know. Maybe it wasn't life threatening," Jamie said who had some rough scrapes on her hands.
"Where's Jason?"
"I told him I'd meet him at the apartment."
"Good thinking."
"The thing was we were outside before Uncle Jonathon was. Why didn't it just attack us?"
"Maybe it didn't show up until after."
She looked at her hands. "They look pretty deep." Clark said concerned.
"I'll live. Just fell on some rocks. What did Lex have to say?"
"He claims that as soon as he found out that Lionel was experimenting on dogs he destroyed the project."
"You mean killing the dogs that got the dosage?"
"All but two I guess."
"I still don't know if we can trust Lex."
"I know but he seemed honest about that."
"What did the doctor say?" She asked when Jonathon was led out of the room.
"Never seen a dog cut through bone before. What were you thinking going at that dog?" Jonathon demanded.
"I saw my Uncle in trouble," She said.
"Jonathon she was trying to help," Martha said
"She's been in enough danger as it is," Jonathon said.
"While you guys argue I'll be at the apartment," Jamie said leaving.
"Dad, that was harsh," Clark said.
"She shouldn't have went after the damn dog. Something worse could have happened besides this," Jonathon said holding his hand up.
"She was worried Jonathon. Fear takes over," Martha said.
"I'll remember that next time one of you tries to warn me." He said.
OOOOOOOOOO
:"How's your Uncle?" Jason asked after she walked in.
"Okay. Angry with me for trying to help," She said sitting down.
Jason saw her hands. "Did you have someone look at those?"
"I'm fine. Would everyone stop treating me like I'm going insane or something?"
"Well lately you haven't had any trouble facing danger."
"I can't help it if it's there when I am. I'm not having this discussion again," She said fed up. "It's like the more the visions come clearer and controlling everyone looks at me differently."
"We're all just worried about you. You haven't been acting yourself since they took over," Jason argued.
"Please. You didn't know me before the visions started."
"Actually I did. Do I have to remind you of a certain 'love cocktail' the cheerleaders did making all of us go insane?"
"I remember you almost killing us. If it hadn't been for Clark we'd both be dead."
"Why is it every time we fight Clark's name pops up?"
"I don't know. Usually you're the one that brings him up!"
"Only this time you did just to throw it in my face!"
"I'm not dealing with you right now," She said walking to the door.
"That's right. Walk away whenever we have a fight! Only this time I won't come chasing after you!"
She just looked at him before slamming the door shut.
"DAMN IT!" Jason yelled angry. He picked up the phone and dialed. "Clark it's me. No it's not alright. Something's wrong with Jamie." He said worried.
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Next chapter is the one everyone's been waiting for. Jamie comes face to face with Lionel since the attack. Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!
