When Chloe woke up, both Clark and Davis were sitting next to her, looking intently full of concern. Chloe started to get up and both went to her but Davis took Chloe's hand and helped her up. Chloe's hand stayed with Davis and Clark gawked at them both uncomfortably.

Then Chloe asked, "So what's the verdict?"

Then Clark answered, "Well you do have a trace of Kryptonain blood in your system."

"What do you mean?" Chloe asked.

"It mingled with your the Kryptonite in your system causing your power."

Chloe shook her head perplexed, "Clark. How did I get Kryptonian blood in my system?"

Clark shrugged, "It was a long time ago. I didn't think of it as a big deal at the time. But I should have, I knew what my blood did to people. Truthfully I tried not to think about it. You weren't your self. It was when you, Lana, and Lois were possessed by witches. And you sucked my blood. It was a very small drop."

Chloe gazed at Clark unbelieving, "I thought we were possessed by witches not vampires."

"You were. It's a long story I prefer not to get into details. I also thought it wouldn't have mattered because my powers were stripped from me at the time. But there must be something about my blood. Anyway it's what makes your power so strong. It is what Brainiac was talking about."

Chloe considered that and it did make sense. She tried to take comfort in from knowing the truth about her power. Then Davis, who still held Chloe's hand said, "Well now you know. And we also know that Brainaic didn't leave any trace of you. So I think it's safe to leave."

Chloe looked up at Davis mystified, "Yeah."

As they arrived in Clark's house and went in the living room they saw Lana sitting on the couch looking tense.

"I'm not sure Lois. I'll let you know."

Then she glanced up and saw Clark, Chloe, and Davis.

Then she said, "I'll tell Clark and Chloe to stop by."

Lana hung up on edge.

"Lois and Jimmy are up pretty recovered."

"That's great." Chloe said.

Lana stared at Davis brutally, "What is he doing here?"

"He's fine Lana. Disaster has been diverted. Brainiac isn't going to control him or me or anyone ever again. He's gone." Chloe said full of steadfastness.

"Well, Jimmy's up and has been asking for you. I told Lois' I'm sure you'll be there as soon as you can."

"Right." Chloe said jerking a bit.

"I guess I better see him."

Chloe recoiled as she left the room. Then Davis went after her.

Chloe stepped onto Clark's porch, leaning on the white wooden gate, gazing out at the horizon of the sun set, over looking the forty acres of corn field. Davis came behind her.

Chloe stiffened a little.

Then Davis said, "Chloe."

Chloe breathed out deeply.

"I can do this." She said and then started to take a step and then stopped.

"Or not?"

"Chloe what's wrong?" Davis asked implicit.

She still stared out at the sunset as the sun began to fade away. She tried to move forward and make that next step down the stairs but she couldn't. She was stuck frozen still on that middle step. She then turned to Davis who staid at the porch gaping at her with concern.

Chloe then said, "I cannot do this. How can I look him in the eye? He has been in the hospital in severe pain. How can I put him through even more? "

Davis took Chloe's hand, the tingles floated through her finger tips and up through her arms.

"Chloe. Do remember what I said to you when you first told me you were engaged?"

Chloe gazed deep within his blue eyes wistful and reminiscently, "If you find love hold onto it."

"If you're in love with Jimmy then you should hold onto him."

"Davis."

"If the thought of hurting him made you realize that you truly and completely love Jimmy then you should go to him. If you truly love him, if he's the first person you think about in the mourning and the last person you think of before you go to sleep, then you shouldn't let go of that. If he is no longer that guy for you or if he never truly was then it is not fair for you or him to hold on."

Chloe smiled, "You're amazing. You would sit here and tell me to rush into the arms of another man, the very same day we've proclaimed our love for each other."

"Chloe, I love you, you know it. But it can't be easy to be the man who put your husband in the hospital."

Chloe shook her head unrelenting, "It wasn't you."

"I know but if you truly love Jimmy, then I won't stand in your way."

Chloe looked up at him biting her lip, "You don't believe that I love him do you."

"Honestly, I don't but the question is do you?"

Tears filled Chloe's eyes, "I don't not the way I love you. But jimmy is a really good guy. I don't want to hurt him."

"I know he is a good guy Chloe. I don't want to hurt him either. But what are you going to do, sit there by his bedside, lie to him some more, while still having an affair with me. I know you're not that type of girl Chloe. And that's not fair to you, me, or Jimmy. If your worried about hurting him in the hospital then we can wait we can stay away from each other until he feels better but Chloe do not just revert to your denial thing and cower from this because your are scared. If you can face a super alien computer with uncanny powers then telling the truth to a geeky photographer should be a walk in the park."

Davis said in a light hearted manner. Chloe laughed.

Then Davis continued seriously, "If your worried about hurting him in the hospital then we can wait we can stay away from each other until he feels better but Chloe…"

"No. You're right Davis. I know what I have to do. It's just when it comes to owning up to my feelings I tend to be kind of a coward." Chloe said lifting up her shoulders. Davis leaned down towards Chloe and caressed her face the edge of his palm, wiping away her tears.

"I'll help you what ever you need."

"Somehow I don't think that will go over very well with Jimmy if you are there."

"Right, but at least let me give you a ride."

Chloe said, "You're car isn't anywhere near here."

"Who said anything about driving?" Davis asked smiling playfully.

He gave her his hand and Chloe took it.

"I don't know. What if Chloe sees us?"

"It's getting dark. And I'll be careful."

Chloe's smile filled her whole face, "OK"

He then lifted her up in his arms, carrying her. Then he hovered above the porch and then flew in to the sky. Chloe gazed down at Smallville watching it get smaller and smaller. She felt so alive holding onto Davis trusting him completely. Davis seemed to be in complete control. Chloe's short blonde hair fluttered in the wind.

Then Davis said," Are you OK?"

Chloe smiled tenderly, "Never better."

Davis smiled back, "Good, hold on tight. I'll bring you down. Don't let go."

"Never." Chloe said wistfully.

They landed just on the side of the hospital looking around and making sure no one saw them.

"I'll wait for you right here." Davis said.

Chloe said, "I'll come back to you."

Chloe marched into the hospital suddenly fueled with a fresh bout of courage.

Clark looked back at Davis as went after Chloe. He wanted to be there for Chloe but now he saw that it wasn't the right time for him. Heck he didn't think it was right time for Davis to be there for Chloe. She was still technically married Jimmy even if it wasn't what she ultimately wanted. Clark didn't like the way his newly discovered brother wanted to be there for Chloe. He didn't like how open about it when Chloe was engaged. Even when Davis thought Chloe was engaged to Clark, he didn't do a very good job of hiding his admiration for this girl, who he just met. Clark defiantly didn't like that Davis was the first one she told about her engagement and how quickly and immediately she trusted him.

Clark knew he had to put his jealousy aside and be happy for his best friend and his new found brother. With all of the mess and destruction of Brainaiac gone now he should be relieved and really happy. And he was for the most part. But when ever defeating a foe he usually had Chloe by his side encouraging him. So it stung a bit that the one relationship he thought he could always rely on was changing. He had come to grips with this reality when Chloe had gotten engaged to Jimmy but now it hurt a little more since Chloe's life would be more complicated then ever. He thought if Chloe married a normal guy like Jimmy at least it could be simpler for her with out all of the complications and the heart ache he had caused her through out the years. But Davis was like him. He was complicated, if not more so.

But hopefully now that brainiac was gone it wouldn't be so tough with Davis. Finding out you're an alien from another planet is tough enough with out having to deal with something evil inside of you. Clark knew how hard Davis' life must be. Clark had it hard enough being an alien from another planet and keeping all of these secrets. Chloe has always been a great outlet and comfort for him. He knew Chloe would be a great comfort for him too. He just wished the thought of Chloe comforting Davis didn't hurt so much.

Then Lana coughed loudly, "Clark, Earth to Clark. Are you still here?"

Clark turned around to Lana and said, "I'm here.

"Good. So what's going on with Davis and Chloe? I thought she went to see Jimmy, her husband."

Clark sighed. He so wanted to get things off of his chest. But he wasn't sure if Lana was the right person to do that with, especially giving her disdain for Davis.

"It's complicated."

"Wow. Dejavu. Clark I thought we were past the whole half truths part of our relationship."

Clark realized what he was doing.

"We are its just, complicated. Davis is not who you think he is."

"I know Chloe told me about the phantom."

"Oh. Is that all?"

"It's about it. She got mad at me for comparing Davis to Lex."

"I can see that."

"I apologized. I didn't know about the phantom. Another thing you told Chloe before me."

Clark sighed annoyed, "Please Lana. I'm tired it's been a long a couple of days."

"I know Clark. I don't want to fight. I'm glad Chloe is ok and her body isn't overcome by some dark force anymore but that doesn't mean I don't still worry about her."

"I know I still worry about her too. That's something that will never go away."

Davis stood on the side of the hospital. It was weird being at a hospital and not working. It was weird since it felt like forever since he's been at his day job as a paramedic. That was his life before he found out this whole Krpytonain mess. Well, before he had known about all of the strangeness in his life. Before he met Chloe he had always felt alone. He always did that on purpose, pushing everyone away, not letting anyone in. He had made some contacts and met some kind hearted foster parents who actuallt cared about him, but he was always afraid of this dark force inside he was always afraid of hurting people. He always felt like an outsider. When he met Chloe that all changed. He didn't know why. Now that he found out Chloe was taken over by this Kryptonian super computer and it had controlled him he wondered if his sudden trust in her had to do with that he was afraid that his sudden trust in her had to do with that. That the chemistry they had wasn't real. But as soon as Chloe rushed to him in the fortress, Brainaic free, he knew-what he felt for Chloe was real, his love for her was real, which was the best feeling in the world.

Davis leaned against the brick wall folding his arms waiting. Then suddenly his head started pounding. He grabbed his head with both hands in excruciating pain. Suddenly he was over come with all of these sounds: hospital sirens, sounds of people's scattered chatter, laughter, crying, people screaming in pain, a rush of foot steps, and sounds of hospital equipment. He grabbed his ears sinking to the ground he heard so much noise and chaos, until he heard her. Her angelic voice stopped at, it eased the pain. Her voice sounded tense and heart breaking though, he focused on it. It helped cease the pain concentrating on her soft tender voice.

"I'm so sorry you were in pain Jimmy."

"Nah. The drugs were pretty good. It wasn't so bad I'll be checking out pretty soon."

"Jimmy. I never wanted to hurt you."

"You didn't. This wasn't your fault babe. It's not the first time I was in the hospital, but considering all of these strange occurrences and hospital visits maybe we should consider moving."

"Jimmy." Chloe said pleadingly.

"Listen." Davis heard ruffling sounds.

"I know you are probably going to hate me, especially considering the circumstances. You should hate me."

"Chloe you're scaring me."

"Jimmy the strange and weird things that happened well there's more. Something strange and weird happened to me. I wasn't my self the day of the wedding."

"Are you OK?"

"I'm fine now. It's just…"Chloe started to break up her voice started to crackle. Davis wanted to go to her but he knew his presence would only make the situation worse.

"The day of the wedding… I was going to call it off."

Davis heard silence for a bit he wondered if he had lost his concentration and then Jimmy spoke, his voice stifled with emotion, tenderness, and a hit of anger.

"Why?"

Chloe struggled to speak then the soft painful words came out,

"I met someone else."

"You're serious?"

"I'm afraid so Jimmy."

"When?"

"Jimmy."

"When did you meet this someone else?"

"Jimmy, does it matter?"

"So all of those times I was convinced I wasn't good enough and you always told me I was, you were lying?" Jimmy said furious.

"No Jimmy, I wasn't. I love you. I loved you. I did. I still care about you. But you're such a great guy and you deserve the truth."

"You always were lying to me weren't you? I thought you grew past that."

"There are just some things that I couldn't tell you, Jimmy, I was protecting you and myself. Jimmy you were such a sweet guy and you made me feel beautiful and really loved for the first time. I thought I wouldn't get that from anyone else. I thought it would be enough, but it's not. The truth is you don't really know the real me, because I didn't let you. I…"

"Enough Chloe, I get it." Jimmy said on edge.

"I'm so sorry." Chloe said in crackling voice. Davis could just imagine Chloe's tears. Then suddenly Davis couldn't hear anything anymore. Davis was overcome with so much emotion. He was a bit freaked out about this new power it overwhelmed him. He knew about the strength and speed and flying but he did not know about this. It was so overwhelming and physically painful. Then there was Chloe's pain it hurt her so much to hurt Jimmy. He knew it would. Chloe was a good person she doesn't want to hurt anyone. But she sounded heart broken. Davis started to feel guilty maybe he was being selfish. If there was anything Davis didn't want was to be seen as the bad guy. He knew that was how Jimmy would see him now. He had worked so hard his whole life not to be seen as the bad guy. Part of that was that he felt this evil inside of him, trying to get out. So he tried so hard to be good and to help people always afraid he has done some horrible things. Now that he knew the truth that there's this phantom inside of him that it really wasn't him made him feel slightly better, but he still had that ache and that fear that someday everyone would see him as a villain. The revelation of that prophesy of becoming enemies to Clark leading to the worlds destruction only made that fear more potent. He wanted to do whatever it took to make sure that fear would never come true.

Chloe walked out her face flushed and her cheeks wet with tears. Davis stood up and Chloe rushed to him falling into his strong arms. She leaned her soft angelic wet face against his chest. He held her caressing her soft blond hair. She sniffled and looked up,

"Thanks for waiting."

Davis nodded looking down at Chloe putting a stray strand behind her ear.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Of course, that was hard but it had to be done. I can't live a lie anymore."

"OK." Davis said.

Chloe gazed up at Davis' suffering face.

"What's wrong?"

"It's this…I heard you."

"You heard me what?"

"I heard you talking to Jimmy. First I heard all of these sounds I was overwhelmed by it all. It was chaos until I heard you talking to Jimmy. Then it just went away."

"You're super hearing? That's the first time that happened?" Chloe asked with a note of recognition.

"Yeah, you know about that one. I thought the whole super strength and flying was it."

Chloe shook her head, "They're just the tip of the ice berg. There's heat vision, super breath, and um…x-ray."

Davis at Chloe, "X-ray?"

"Clark actually told you about that one?"

Chloe smiled and shrugged he shoulders, "We're best friends. I'm in on his big secrets. You know that."

"I know that." Davis said with a little resentment.

Then he continued, "So where to?"

"Well, Lois and Jimmy are actually doing a lot better. They may get out tomorrow. I really don't want to risk running into him. So I was wondering if I could stay at your place but if that's me moving at the speed of light then I'm sure I can stay at Clark's."

"No, you're welcome there. I want you there."

Chloe smiled wildly and then she wrapped her arms around his neck,

"Well. What are you waiting for? Up, up, up and away."

They flew above Smallville and Metropolis. Chloe marveled at all of the building looking so small. She gazed at the star filled sky. She held tight on Davis not wanting to ever let go.

They landed on Davis' balcony.

"Wow, that's convenient."

Davis smiled a crooked smile, "I know."

"So the couch, huh? I'll think I'll sleep there."

Davis gently put Chloe down still holding her hand. Their fingers lingered entwined together and then he said,

"That's probably for the best. I'll get you some blankets."

Davis pulled himself from Chloe and went to the other room.

Chloe looked around in Davis' living room. It was simple with a black leather couch; a small TV was in the middle, in the middle stood an old coffee table that looked to be from a thrift store. He had a night stand next to the couch with a metropolis hospital gym bag on it.

Then her phone rang it was Clark. She looked at it and hesitantly she answered, "Hey Clark. What's up?"

"Chloe did you see Jimmy?"

"Yeah."

"Well, how is he?"

Chloe sighed, "He's been better."

"Davis really didn't go with you did he?"

"He didn't really see Jimmy with me Clark. He waited outside."

"Chloe isn't that a little shady? Wait, you didn't break up with Jimmy did you? He was in the hospital."

"Clark this isn't your business."

"Chloe, Jimmy is my friend and so are you. And friends can tell friends when they are acting messed up."

Chloe blue her blonde locks off of her face, "Clark, I don't need a lecture ok. I know its lousy timing but I couldn't just sit there by his bedside and lie to him. It was one thing when I was lying to myself, but I couldn't do that when in my heart I know the truth about how I feel."

"Fine. So where are you now?"

Chloe swallowed hard, really not enjoying the awkwardness of the moment so she tried to pretend it wasn't a big deal and said, "I'm at Davis' apartment."

"Chloe!"

"What Clark? I can't stay at the Talon Jimmy may come back tomorrow and it would be weird for me to be there."

"You could stay here. Don't you think you and Davis are moving a little too fast."

"Woa, there coy boy, if you must know I'm sleeping on the couch. But as I said before it's none of your business." Chloe said.

"Alright."

"Oh and speaking of your brother. I think you two should have a nice brotherly talk."

The Davis entered the room with a blanket and pillow and asked, "Is that Clark?"

Chloe nodded. Then Clark said, "Chloe, we'll talk but I really think you should think about staying…"

"Sorry Clark. I got to go. But seriously Clark you two need to talk." Then she hung up.

Then Davis said, "So does he usually call you in the middle of the night?"

"Well, sure but that's just if he needs my help saving the world." Chloe said naturally.

"Oh, right." Davis said not entirely convinced.

"Come on Davis. That is all that was ever between us. I'm his side kick and best friend.

"So that's why he is so protective of you?" Davis asked.

"Yeah, that's all there is. And are we really having this conversation after I just broke up with my husband, the guy I've actually been with off and on relationship for the last two years."

"Come on Chloe I wasn't accusing you of anything. But you'll have to be blind not to see that you and Clark have an intensely close relationship. I saw the way you were together and the way you know so much about him. You know when you first told me you were engaged I thought you were engaged to him."

"Oh, my gosh, we are not really having this conversation. Do you know how many times I've had this conversation with Jimmy? It was annoying then and it is even more annoying now, since you know exactly why me and Clark are so close."

"I do know why Chloe. And that bothers me just a little. You know all of his secrets. You both trust each other the way I trust you. You have so much faith in him the way you have faith in me. And it turns out that we're brothers. And apparently we have or will have all of the same powers and powers that you know all of the intricate details of."

Chloe smile tilted and moved close to Davis and wrapped her arms around him and played with his hair and said, "Davis so that's what you're worried about? You think I'm with you because you remind me of Clark?"

"Aren't you?" Davis asked. "Didn't you just get together with Jimmy because you were trying to get over Clark?"

Chloe backed away and stared at him unrelenting. Her whole face smiled, "The thing is Davis. You are right. I did get with Jimmy to make my self get over Clark. And the truth was I would never admit that to anyone, not even myself. I didn't let myself see the truth until I met you. And it's true. You did remind me of Clark. The first time we met and we saved someone together. I had that same feeling when me and Clark would save someone together. And when we talked more that day I got that same goose bumpy feeling when I first met Clark. And when you told me about the black outs I had the same reflex to protect your secret like I did once I found out his secret. And yes, it's easy for me to trust Clark just like it is easy for me to trust you. You did remind me of Clark. That's true. I didn't know why before. Now I know the reason you're brothers."

"Great Chloe. So it is true. At least you're being honest." Davis said looking bummed as he sat down on the couch.

Chloe sat next to him, "That's the thing. I've never been that honest with anyone before, not even Clark. I always I thought it was better for everyone to just keep quiet and not tell the truth especially about how I feel. I was always brushing my feelings under the rug and keeping everything in, feeling like I could explode at any moment. I have all of these secrets and sometimes it felt like Clark was the only one I could talk to, but there were some things I couldn't even tell him. And I feel like I can tell you anything."

Davis tilted his head and took Chloe's hand, "So tell me the truth Chloe. How do you feel about him?"

Chloe took his hand squeezing it tightly and took a deep breath and said, "I love him. A part of me will always love him. I used to think that he could be my partner in life. That eventually he would grow into me. But the thing is it happened."

"What happened?"

"What I had hoped. I had hoped that I could get over Clark. I had hoped that if I just found the right guy I could get over him. I tried that with Jimmy but it just didn't work because as hard as I tired I just wasn't head over heals in love with him. I was afraid before that I was feeling the same thing for you as what I was feeling for Clark. But I realized the day of my wedding that I did love you. I was head over heals in love with you. I can tell you the truth. I feel completely naturally with you and completely free and I'm done denying it."

Davis smiled and squeezed Chloe's hand. He let it go and cupped Chloe's face, "Well at least you're telling me the truth."

"I can't help it's your fault."

Davis leaned in teasingly, "Really? Why is that?"

"How should I know? I'm not an oracle."

Davis leaned towards Chloe. Chloe felt the tingles again and her heart fluttered. She leaned in to kiss him. Then suddenly he pushed her away. Startled Chloe looked at Davis. He closed his eyes tight. He covered them. Chloe stared at him intensely. His eye were closed so tightly. He was in severe pain.

"Oh, crap." Chloe said out loud realizing what was going on.

"Chloe, I don't know what's happening?"

Chloe quickly searched the room and found a fire extinguisher. She quickly huddled behind the couch and behind Davis and said,

"Davis trust me just open your eyes."

"But Chloe I .."

"Just do it. You'll feel better. Trust me." Chloe shouted and touched him on the shoulder.

He opened his eyes and flames spurted out and fire shot out of his eyes and burned the wall. Chloe quickly got the fire extinguisher and put the fire out.

Davis gawked at the scorched part of the wall and then at Chloe in amazement,

"What just happened?"

"Uh, that would be heat vision. That one gets tricky. Apparently it gets set off by…well you know um…uh… desire."

"Really? Great. So any time we… I risk burning you."

Chloe smiled warmly, "It's going to be ok., Davis. Clark found a way to control it and so can you. You and Clark just need to have that Kryptonian brotherly talk. You need a heart to heart about your powers, what's happening to you, and how to control it."

"Oh, yeah, that conversation isn't going to be awkward at all." Davis said sarcastic and uncomfortable.

Then Chloe said, "It's going to be ok. I believe in you."

Davis smiled, "Thanks for that."

Then his eyes squinted a little.

"Um maybe it's a good idea to say good night."

"Yeah, don't worry Davis this will get better." Chloe said.

Davis nodded looking like he was trying really hard not to look at her.

Chloe wanted to say good night properly like a goodnight kiss but in his current state that probably would be a bad idea.
