Chapter 8: Clark fights with Lana
2008: Knight Enterprises, Clark stared at the coordinates that the computer was feeding him. Hiro had programmed the computer to begin searching for Trinity in the past and yet still had not found the time period that she was in. He then heard heels walking. He looked up.
"How's the search going?" Lana asked as she walked in. Clark smiled at her, as he put down the research papers.
"Not yet, but I need to keep searching," he said. "Have you talked to Jor-El about helping you?" Lana asked. Clark shook his head.
"Have you given up your powers yet, Lana? Seems to me like you've need to talk with Jor-El for some time yourself," Clark said. She glared at him.
"Clark, did you ever think that maybe I want to keep these powers for you?" She said. Clark frowned. "No human was ever meant to keep those powers. Over time, your body won't be able to handle it, Lana. Believe me I know," Clark said.
"Your from Krypton, Clark what would you know about not being able to handle your powers?" Lana challenged. Clark shook his head in disbelief.
"I do know about what it means to use those powers irresponsibly. Remember that time I went to Metropolis during my sophomore year? There is a form of Kryptonite fragment colored red that robs me of all moral sensibility. I used those powers of mine without regard to the consequences of my actions. That's when Michael Knight came into my life," Clark said.
"Michael Knight? What does he have to do with you?" Lana asked. They then heard a new voice. It was the voice of Michael Knight.
"Because Lana, 3 months after Clark left for Metropolis, Jonathan Kent made a deal with Jor-El of Krypton to bring Clark back to him, but both became infected with red Kryptonite, so I was asked to bring both of them home, by Jor-El of Krypton. I was granted powers, powers far greater than both Jonathan Kent and Clark. I know what it's like to have powers and be tempted to use them for my own gain, and trust me it isn't worth it Lana," Michael said.
"You still have those powers?" Lana asked. Michael nodded. He then unbuttoned his shirt. Underneath was a small cross made out of a fragment of blue Kryptonite.
"Yes I do, Miss Lang. But at the risk of my government betraying me and having my Foundation status revoked, I had a man named Vol-Ek of Krypton fashion this cross for me from a fragment of blue Kryptonite. Blue Kryptonite renders me unable to use my powers. I had to or else I would run the risk of being tempted to use my powers as irresponsibly as Clark did in 2002," Michael said.
"Well I am not giving them up, not without a fight," She said as she used her super speed and ran off. Michael and Clark stared at each other.
"Clark, go after her. There is no telling what she will do with her powers if they are not returned, and there is no telling how her body will react if she keeps those powers any longer than she's had them. How long has she had them?" Michael asked.
"Senior year of High School. She died and the only way to save her life was for Jor-El to infuse her with power like my own. I had thought she had given them up," Clark said. They then heard Lionel Luthor's voice.
"No, Clark she hasn't. Clark, when she was married to my son, He influenced her. Some of the darkness that is in Lex is in her," Lionel said. Michael stared at him.
"You know?" Michael asked. Lionel nodded.
"Years ago, I met Jor-El of Krypton and he foretold the future about a coming meteor shower and of the ship that would be hidden in it. We shook hands, and somehow my memories of it were buried so deep that I didn't remember what happened until the 2nd Meteor shower when the floodgates in my mind were opened. Jor-El used Wilton Knight's laboratory here in Smallville to create a body for himself similar to my own. He has been parading around as me while I was out of the country so that my own enemies wouldn't try to kill me," Lionel said.
"How would you know that?" Michael asked. They then heard a new voice.
"Because I told Lionel where Jor-El was. I am Charles Graiman and I have been friends with Wilton Knight who designed the Knight Industries Two Thousand 25 years ago. Lionel designed the original prototype with Wilton 6 months before you were found. Mr. Long. Clark, you have to stop your friend before she does something rash," Charles said.
"Where would she go though?" Michael asked. Lionel and Clark stared at each other.
"Only place she would go, Clark. The Fortress!" Lionel said. Clark nodded at each man and ran, using his super speed.
