Clark went back to the farm perplexed and confused. He looked at the crystal and wondered how in the world this crystal could help.

Lana was sitting in the kitchen, she immediately went to Clark.

"Clark, you're ok. Did you take care of Davis?"

Clark looked down at Lana disappointed. He wanted so much to tell someone he had a brother, but he wasn't sure that would make a difference with Lana.He saw that look in her eye earlier. She had made up her mind about Davis. He couldn't blaim her. It wasn't that long ago when he was ready to have him convicted for . Now he knew it wasn't him. It was just something inside of him, which made this so much more complicated.

Clark sighed and said,

"Yeah, Jor-el's taking care of him."

"So, what do we do about Chloe?" Lana asked anxiously.

"We? We aren't going to do anything. I am going to find a way out of this on my own." Clark grasped on tightly to the reflective crystal.

"Clark Chloe's my best friend. I want to help."

"It's because Chloe is my best friend that this is happening to her." Clark said his voice tinted with deep grief.

"Clark, you can't blame your self for this it could've happened to anyone."

"Anyone who I care about. Anyone who I trust. Anyone who I had who helped me everyday. I've always had Chloe there helping me and look what happened to her."

Lana said feircly, "Clark, you can't do everything by yourself. Chloe knew the risks in being your side kick. She was willing to help you because it was the right thing to do. Let me help you."

Clark shook his head, "I'm sorry Lana but not this time. Clark then sped himself out of there. Clark stopped at the Isis foundation. He opened the secret room looking at all of the monitors. He went through all of Chloe's files trying to find some hint of Brainiac. Then he stopped and started to look at the crystal.

"Jor-el, why do you have to be so cryptic?"

Then suddenly Chloe came strutting around.

She laughed ically, "Oh poor little Kal-el. Who knew you could actually use a computer? After all of those times asking this superb vessel to use it for you."

Brainiac swerved a little still wearing Chloe's wedding dress. Her wedding dress fluttered around stained with . It made him sick to see his very best friend in the whole world being controlled by this monster.

"Let Chloe go Brainiac it's me you want."

"Oh, Kal-el, maybe before. But with this vessel I am able to do so much more."

"She's human. What happened to humans are so insignificant?"

"Oh, please like you really believe she's an ordinary human. You've always known she was different. Never average. She always suspected she was different. Maybe that's why she was always drawn to you."

"Don't pretend you know anything about her."

"But I am her. I am a part of her now. I have all of her thoughts. All of her memories. All of her feelings."

Clark clutched on to the crystal.

"Please you are nothing but a glorified machine."

He then was about to stab Brainiac with the crystal. Brainiac pushed Clark, Clark landed on the computer console wrecking it. The electricity burst into flares. Clark sped pushing Brainiac. She got up and took her hand turning it into a black liquid like substance towards Clark.

"Don't make me hurt this body." Clark pleaded.

Brainiac laughed curling her lips, "Hmmm. That's what makes this body so perfect. You'll never hurt her. It's not in your nature. You could never hurt this vessel you love her."

Chloe's menacing smile taunted Clark. He d what Brainiac did to his friend. Brainiac was so right though. He loved Chloe he could never hurt her. But Brainiac had hurt so many people. Clark took the crystal it floated just above Chloe's head. It turned colors and Kryptonian symbols emerged on it. Chloe's eyes turned black. Then a big burst of energy seemed to explode out of Chloe. A black mist came out of her.

Chloe's eyes fluttered. He knew Chloe was back. Her eyes closed. Clark held her tightly. Then suddenly the crystal fell to the ground next to the computer console. The crystal glowed and then turned black. A black ink-like substance oozed out. Then it started to form a shape like play dough. It formed a shape of a man and then Milton Fine appeared.

"Impressive Kal-el. But you just made a terrible mistake."

He tried to put his hand on Chloe's head. Clark pushed him causing him to slam through the wall. Then Clark sped out of there. He gently put Chloe on his bed.

"It's going to be OK Chlo." He looked at her softly caressed her cheek.

Then Lana came in. "Clark I thought that gust of wind was you."

And then she saw Chloe's unconscious body on the bed.

"Is that really Chloe?"

"Yeah." Clark said keeping his eyes on Chloe.

Then Clark looked at Lana, "Can you take care of her? Brainiac is still out there."

"Of course Clark." Lana said.

Then Clark sped back to the Isis foundation. Brainiac was no longer there. He looked all around for Brainiac he was no where to be found. Then he went back to the fortress, hoping for some help from Jor-el. Maybe Davis could help since Chloe was OK and Brainiac was out of her now.

As he arrived he saw Davis lying on the ice floor. He woke up with a start screaming, "Raya!"
