AN: Ok here's another chapter hope you all enjoy it and review.
Chapter Two: Visitor, and Precipice
'So how has your day been?' Jacob asked Chloe through their link.
'Semi-eventful. Woke up on the ceiling, new kid started a fire in the electronics lab, Lana's horse collapsed at the Kent farm and the new kid healed the horse. Plus a bonus is that the new kid thinks he's an alien.' Chloe put her laptop to the side and lay back on her bed getting comfortable.
'Hold up, go back. You woke up on the ceiling? How does that happen?'
'Honestly it was one of the weirdest moments in my life. I woke up opened my eyes and saw my bed 6 ft below me. I almost panicked but was able to float myself down. And if I concentrate I can make myself float off the floor and around the room. It's really kinda cool.' Even as she spoke Chloe began floating off her bed just to prove to herself she could.
'That does sound pretty awesome. My cousin can fly. Think it'll work if I piggyback you?' Laughing Chloe crashed back onto her bed.
'Hold up I'm just floating off the ground a few feet not flying.'
'I bet you could though, with some practice.'
'Ok let's say that with some practice I can fly. What makes you think I'll want to take your heavy ass with me?'
'Very funny. I'm not heavy.' Jacob fake pouted for all of a second before moving on. 'Do you think this means you really are getting Clark's powers?'
'I think I am. It's kinda scary Jake. I mean from what I know about Clark's powers I could really hurt someone. He's super strong, fast, and has heat vision. I could fry someone by looking at them the wrong way.' Chloe was sitting on her bed beginning to hyperventilate.
'Ok so if, IF you have Clark's powers are you going to talk to him about it or learn to control them on your own. And I totally think you could control them. You're a very fast learner.'
'Well I kinda want him to tell me his secret first. I mean he told Pete and he's supposed to be my best friend. I even told him today that I thought it would be cool if there were aliens. I mean we were talking about the new kid but he knows I'd be cool with it all. I didn't freak when I was infected with the parasite and he told me.'
'Chloe, Clark has major trust issues. I'd bet you a million dollars that he didn't tell Pete on purpose. The only people he really lets in is his parents. Besides it's a really big secret and he thinks you'd sell him out in a heartbeat for a Pulitzer.'
'Yeah you're right. He's always making those kind of comments to me. I don't think he really knows me at all.'
'Hey why don't you move out here. Get away from him and his crappy friendship. I'm sure dad would love to have you here and you'd be closer to…our moms.'
'I've thought about it. A lot lately actually. Maybe if one more big thing goes wrong I will.'
'Promise?'
'Promise.'
'Ok so what are you doing up this late? What are you getting into?'
'I don't trust Lex's girlfriend.' Chloe moved to pick her laptop up again. 'A while back Lex got a pic of her arguing with his Father and then Lionel put 100,000 into her bank account. She told Lex that Lionel told her to break up with Lex and was trying to buy her off.'
'What you don't believe her?'
'Well I believe she does have feelings for Lex but….. I may have found proof in her previous bank accounts and overseas bank accounts that she is or was working for Lionel.'
'Working for him how?'
'I think Lionel was using her as a distraction for Lex but it backfired on him. I think she was supposed to come here, be a short-time distraction for Lex and then be on her merry way. But it's not working out that way.'
'Are you going to tell Lex?'
'Maybe when I have proof.'
'Alright well have fun digging, don't get yourself in trouble and I'll talk to you later. Night.'
'Night Cuz, don't cause Uncle Billy too much trouble.'
'Me! Never, I'm an angel.' Chloe burst out laughing as they shut off their mind link, before throwing herself into research.
'Stupid idiot! Falling for that lying she-bitches tactics. I can't believe he's stupid enough to marry her.' Chloe was pacing her room occasionally rising off the floor as her temper flared. She had to keep shutting her eyes to stop the heat vision from activating she was so pissed.
'Whoa Chloe what's going on?' Jacob asked wincing from her anger waves.
'Lex is marrying the she-bitch Helen!' Chloe almost yelled aloud.
'Ok and why are you this pissed off?' Jacob was really confused, Chloe should not be getting this upset. 'Do you have feelings for Lex or something? Is that why you're pissed?'
Chloe sighed heavily and sank down onto her bed. 'No I don't have feelings for Lex, other than as a friend. I think this heat vision is making me overheat. I haven't let it out since this morning when I discovered I even had it.' Chloe flopped backwards and cringed as she remembered waking up from an embarrassing sex dream only to set the ceiling on fire when she opened her eyes.
Jacob caught the images Chloe was reliving and couldn't help laughing. 'Wow that was seriously funny. Thanks for the laugh cuz.'
'Oh god you saw that? Now I'm even more mortified!' Chloe quickly grabbed a pillow to place over her face as she screamed.
'Yeah sorry this mind meld thing just keeps getting weirder huh?' Jacob calmed his laughs before repeating his earlier question. 'Ok so why does Lex's engagement to Helen piss you off?'
'It's just I found proof that Lionel and Helen are planning something. I don't know what yet but it's big. I did find proof that Helen planned for her ex to come to town to stalk her. I don't think she planned on him going fatal attraction on her though. And if Lex would just open his damn eyes he would be able to find all this out. He's being so stupid.' Chloe huffed as she sat up. 'This is going to be his second wife and I'm almost positive she's gonna try to kill him too.'
'I thought you said you think she actually cares for him?'
'I do think she cares for him. I think she might actually love him, but I think she loves money a hell of a lot more.'
'Sucks to be Lex, all he can find are money grubbers.'
'Yeah. I tried talking to him about Helen today, with some of her bank records as proof and he totally blew me off. I'm going to have to lay it out for him in black and white before he'll believe me. I think I'll even have to bring in audio and video tapes before he'd believe me.'
'Good Luck. Hey did I tell you Sam's been acting kinda weird lately?'
'Weird how?'
'Well for one he disappeared for like two weeks and came back looking all beat up. Leah went crazy while he was gone and when he came back he totally shut her out. But her cousin Emily is coming out to visit so maybe that will help her cheer up.'
'Poor Leah, I can't believe Sam's being such a jerk. Maybe I should visit you this summer and beat some sense into him.'
Jacob couldn't help laughing, 'Chloe you do realize he's got at least a full foot and a hundred pounds on you. You'd probably end up hurting yourself more than him.'
'Hey don't crack jokes about my size. It's not my fault I'm short. Besides you forget I might be getting Clark's strength. If I do I could kick Sam's ass across the state if I wanted to.'
'I would love to see that.' Jacob said laughing again. 'Alright Cuz I gotta go. Some of us need more than a few hours sleep and coffee to keep going. I need my full 8 hours.'
'8 hours? Who are you kidding! You'd sleep a full week if Uncle Billy would let you.'
'True but I require a minimum of 8 so that means I gotta go to bed now. And we'd love for you to come out here this summer. Or move here either one.'
'Yeah yeah. Tell Uncle Billy I say hi. Night.' Chloe got up from the bed and began getting ready for bed. Normally, even though she's 2 hours ahead, Chloe still went to bed a few hours after Jacob. Tonight she just felt exhausted. Maybe it was the new ability and trying to keep it under control, or maybe it was the drama with Lex. But deep down inside Chloe felt an overwhelming sense of dread for the coming week. Something bad was gonna happen and she didn't know if she was prepared to deal with whatever it was. Sighing deeply Chloe climbed into bed and prayed the days to come went peacefully.
