Eye for an Eye
Chapter 12
And so it begins
Jenny shivered as the coldness of the cave hit her. She zipped up her sweater and looked at Clark who seemed unfazed by the cold. Clark looked at Jenny and smiled. "Is too cold for you?" He asked holding her a bit tighter.
"Just a little bit," She said as both walked deeper into the cave, "But I will get used to it soon."
"We shouldn't be here for too long," Clark said kicking a rock a bit too hard. It hit the cave wall making a crack in it.
"What is this place exactly?" Jenny asked looking around the cave as they walked into the large chamber that had many symbols on the wall.
"This is the place where I look for answers," Clark said looking around the cave room, "But sometimes not all my questions are answered."
"What do you mean?" Jenny asked looking at Clark as he approached a certain symbol.
"Each symbol in here, Clark said walking in a circle and pointing to the cave walls, "Has to do with me. Each symbol is a part of me and I don't know why."
"How often do you actually find the answers here?' Jenny asked touching a symbol.
"Hardly ever," Clark said turning to face Jenny, "In fact never, why do you ask?"
"Because I just found a symbol that looks like your strange tattoo," Jenny said watching Clark approach the symbol, "Does it answer your question?"
"This symbol wasn't here before," Clark said mystified as Jenny's eyes grew wide in confusion, "I have been in this part of the cave many times and I know for the fact that this has never been here."
"What do you think it means?" Jenny asked watching Clark trace the symbol as if something paranormal would happen, but nothing did.
"It means my destiny is a lot closer than I expected," Clark said unhappily.
"You mentioned that back at the barn," Jenny said stepping in between Clark and the cave wall, "What did you mean by that exactly?"
"Remember when I told you about my old home world, Krypton?" Clark asked and when Jenny nodded yes he continued, "Well I was sent here by my dad. Now I don't really know how he communicates with me, but every time he does it means I have a certain mission to complete." Jenny listened intently and her eyes grew wide in horror with Clark's last statement, "This tattoo is a reminder of my next mission. I have to take over Earth and make it the new Krypton."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Sarah and Brett walked down the long and dimly lit hall silently. Sarah has a sly look on her face as she approached the room Lex was held in. "Wait here," She told Brett as she walked through the door. She approached the girl and said, "Lizzy baby, we don't want to kill him do we?"
Lizzy sighed and her eyes returned to her normal blue shade. She let go of Lex and licked her fingers seductively. "You always ruin the fun," Lizzy said walking past Sarah.
"Do you have to do the finger licking act after each victim?' Sara asked looking at Lizzy in disgust.
"Each and every victim," Lizzy said winking at her. She walked out of the room and when she walked passed Brett she said, "Hello there Brett."
Brett gave Lizzy a disgusted look and then he looked at Sarah whispering, "That girl scares me."
Sarah frowned and whispered back, "I know how you feel about her, but we need her," Sarah smiled and said, "I will have to agree though she does scare me some what."
"You know fear is the ultimate weapon," Lizzy said appearing behind Sarah and Brett suddenly making Brett jump, "And I am so good at it too."
"Well I guess you are right," Bret said trying to quicken his pace, "I guess that is the only way to beat Clark.
"So tell me," Lizzy said with excitement and a hint of desperation in her voice, "I hear Clark is hot."
Brett rolled his eyes in disgust as Sarah smiled, "Clark is one of the kind," She paused and pressed the elevator button and heard it making its way to the basement level where Lizzy kept all of her victims, "If I weren't trying to kill him now," Sarah continued, "I would for sure try to get him."
"So what is the plan now?" Brett said trying to change the subject.
"The plan now is we got to the Kent farm to attack," Jenny said wit ha grin, "It is time to finally end this."
"But on one condition," Lizzy said as Sarah looked at her wit ha raised eyebrow, "We do it my way that is if you want to succeed."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Chloe walked into the hospital room with a smile on her face as she approached Lois. Lois turned her head to face her and smiled at her cousin. "How's my favorite patient doing?"
"Somewhat better," Lois said watching her cousin pull up a chair, "If it were not for all the pain medications."
"Well you look a lot better," Chloe said smiling at Lois again, "It looks like they removed the bandages on your head."
"Yeah they did and now all I have is a massive bruise on my forehead," Lois sarcastically said. She paused and looked at the clock by the hospital door. "So did you find anything about who did this to me?"
Chloe shook her head. "I wish I did know." Chloe lied not wanting to more on her cousin's shoulders, "Whoever did this seems to be nonexistent."
"Well you are the best reporter I know," Los said disappointed about the news she just got, "You'll get this bitch."
"Listen Lois it may take some time to find this person," Chloe said shifting uncomfortably in her seat.
"It's not like I have anywhere to go to," Lois said. She took a deep breath and looked at her cousin, "Can I ask you something?"
Chloe noticed Lois' sudden change in mood and reached out to grasp her hand affectionately, "You can ask me anything."
"Before I blacked out in the accident," Lois asked her voice becoming strangely faulty, "I seriously thought I was going to die and all, I could think about was Clark, not you, not my dad, is that crazy? I mean I don't like Clark like that, he drives me nuts!"
"You're not crazy at all Lois," Chloe said feeling a pang of hurt and wishing that she could be with Clark. She still cared about him a lot. "Maybe you care about Clark more than you realize. He does have more of an impact on people than you think."
"I don't know," Lois said frowning, "The things I dislike about him vastly outweigh the things I like about him."
"Listen to me Lois," Chloe said getting her attention, "Clark is bound to visit you sooner or later. You should talk to him about how you feel."
"I can't d that!" Lois said loudly startling Chloe a bit, "I'm sorry cuz."
"Whatever happens between you and Clark," Chloe said knowing that nothing would happen, because Jenny and Clark were dating. She didn't want to upset Lois now by telling her that fact, "I know you'll make the right decision."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Clark and Jenny walked hand in hand back to the farm. Jenny looked at Clark and kissed him on the cheek. "I am sorry you didn't find what you were looking for," She said.
"It is okay," Clark said smiling at his girl friend, "To be honest if something makes sense in my life, than I know there are problems."
Jenny looked at Clark shocked. She knew his life was not easy, but she did not know it was that tough. "I'm so sorry baby."
"For what?" Clark asked watching squirrel run up a tree.
"About how difficult your life may be," Jenny said leaning against Clark.
"Do you want to know something," Clark said looking at Jenny, "Whenever I am with you, things are clear. You make all my problems vanish."
"Thank you," Jenny said flattered.
Clark didn't answer, for something didn't feel right. He stopped walking and returned and looked at Jenny briefly before returning his gaze to the farm. He used his x-ray vision and saw three people whom he assumed were his parents and Lana. Clark approached the barn entrance and suddenly he felt Jenny stiffen. She gasped and pointed to a body on the floor. Clark turned the body over and saw it was Jason who had a cut on his head. As he stood up something green hit him throwing him to the floor.
Jenny gasped and ran up to Clark helping him to his feet. He felt a bit weak from what was shot at him. He walked into the barn and looked at Greg who suddenly appeared in front of Clark. He shot another green meteor gas from his hands. It hit Clark dead on and Clark fell to the ground. Jenny glared at Greg and shot fire at him. Greg dodged it and shot green gas at Jenny. It hit her dead on throwing her into the barn wall. Clark growled and sped toward Greg, when Brett appeared out of no where.
He smiled at Clark and pointed at him raising him in the air. Clark looked at his parents and Lana who were tied to the barn wall. "It is nice to see you again," Brett sneered as Greg shot another green gas ball at Clark.
Clark felt weakened for a few moments. But as soon as the feeling passed, Clark shoot fire at Brett who immediately let Clark fall to the ground. Clark landed hard as Sarah appeared next to Brett who was nursing his burn wounds. A girl who Clark didn't recognize walked in. On second she was by the entrance and the next she had Clark pinned against the barn wall.
She looked Clark in the eye and both began to rise in the air. Clark trembled in fear as something began to access his memories. He moaned as his nose began to bleed, which made Liz squeal happily. "Oh why oh why Clark, do the best looking have to have the most confusing lives?"
