CHAPTER 15

In the Kent barn a triangular stand off between Clark, Adam and Lionel who now seemed to be possessed by Jor-El as an unlikely family reunion was now taking place.

Adam fists clenched as they began to shake violently this was not the person he wanted to see for along time.

Clark knew with the effects of Red-k running through Adams system seeing there biological fathers spirit is not the best thing to do with Adams already eractic feelings toward Jor-El.

"Jor-El?" Clark quried finding it weird to address Lionel this way.

"Yes Kal-El It is I" Jor-El confirmed in a gentle tone as he could see a small smile across the lips of Lionel's.

"What are you doing here?" Clark asked immediately noticing Adam remained motionless with a mixture of facial emotions the only replacement.

"I felt that in the current circumstances I needed to intervene." His attention then drew to Adam who stared intently at him.

"It is good to see you well Tor-El…" he took a slow step forward noticing Adam not react to this approach so he continued.

"…but I see you have been in contact with Red Kryptonite and your present condition this is very dangerous in your current fragile state."

Jor-El noticed the crimson in Adam's eyes changing interminably like a inner battle was waging inside.

In that time Martha had quietly retrieved the lead box containing the kryptonite and was approaching the two girls from the shadows.

Clark watched as Jor-El was now raising his hand towards Adams shoulder realizing that this mite be the end of the crisis.

"I am here for you my son…" as the hand was about to touch Adams when the crimson in his eyes stopped flashing but then remained red as Adam backed away and then found his voice.

"How dare you try and comfort me after all you did to me" Adam said coldly as he created a vast distance between them.

"My son…" Jor-El approached again with sadness.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!..." Adam roared making the barn frame shake as he continued with all the vent up anger he had built up all these years.

"You have no right to call me that…only a good father has that right and you are not one of them"

"Tor-El…I understand your anger but as your parents me and your mother gave you a fighting chance to live" Jor-El said trying to explain but Adam was having none of it as Clark continued to watch on not believing what he was seeing.

"YOU SENT ME TO HELL!" Adam then winced holding his head momentarily Clark went to approach him but Adam sense this and looked in his direction.

"Stay the hell away from me!" Adam protested as he regained his composure as he focused back onto his biological father.

"You see Jor-El there is your great savior of our world…" he pointed in Clark's direction as he continued.

"…why care about me, Kal-El was always destined for great things…I on the other hand was destined to rot in the phantom zone while you my own father made me your forgotten son and a distant memory"

For the first time Jor-El was speechless he had never expected for the words to hurt even if his emotional status was merely the AI of the fortress to act in certain circumstances but using Lionel as his vessel he could truly felt the guilt of his actions and the pain he had caused.

Adam's closed his eyes momentarily feeling his head running in overload as wave after wave of new emotions running through him were making him wince in pain as he had never truly experienced a headache like this.

Martha watched as Adam was distracted enough she came out of the shadows and shouted to Clark.

"Clark im sorry but it's the only way…" she approached Adam and opened the box of Kryptonite which immediately glowed green making Clark Adam and even Lionel fall to the ground.

Adam fell to his knee's and roared in pain as he could feel the grip of his emotions begin to fade, but he could not lose them he needed them, he didn't want to return to the empty shell he once was.

Clark and Lionel watched through there distorted vision as they watched something they never had seen a kryptonian do before.

Adam clenched his fists and began to rise onto one knee as the kryptonite was visibly swelling in his veins.

Martha watched in shock as Adam with all his remaining energy got upright and concentrated on the box and fired a burst of heat vision at the kryptonite which exploded into white dust making Martha drop the led box to the floor from the heat.

Adam stumbled backwards trying to regain his strength and then looked annoyingly at his future mother.

"Your are suppose to become my mother why would you try and take away this gift?"

She still notice the outline of red in his eyes knowing that it was

"Its not a gift Adam…It's a curse and I cant watch you destroy yourself in the process...i care about you to much"

Adam then noticed that Clark was also beginning to get to his feet then he heard low groaning from the other corner of his vision he saw Chloe and Lois beginning to show signs of kryptonite wearing off.

His annoyance built up again and headed for the girls and felt he would take vengeance for what they just tried to do to him.

Adam appeared in front of Lois and then declared.

"Hey Clark…" he said slightly out of breath as his energy was slowly returning.

Clark also was feeling the sluggish effects was getting to his feet, but managed to look in Adam's direction just in time to see something that hit a mighty ache in his heart.

Adam had found out Clarks second weakness in the past weeks and it wasn't kryptonite and even though he wouldn't admit it, it was a certain fiery brunet that he was standing next to.

"Its time you envied me" Adam said with a glinting smile as he turned to notice who was still disorientated from the kryptonite with her eyes still closed he tipped her chin and kissed Lois passionately who merely reciprocated in the kiss in instinct.

Clark mouth fell open preparing to object but when he saw Lois reciprocated in the kiss he felt his heart break there and then.

Adam ended the kiss and smiled when he saw the look on Clark's face but then Lois in spoke out while her eyes were still closed.

"…Clark" which made Adam look back to her in shock he wasn't expecting that neither was Clark himself.

But neither was someone else has a sharp intake of breath made Clark and Adam turn to another direction as being helped up by Martha was a another heartbroken soul but it was Chloe who was the victim of it this time.

She had seen the entire scene unfold in-front of her and she couldn't grasp it.

It was like the last few hours she had watched a movie and she, Adam and Lois where the stars of the blockbuster.

Adam and Chloe's eyes locked and for a moment his eyes red crimson faded and he ached out.

"Chloe…"

"How could you…" is all she could say to him in whispered anger.

Then he felt a sharp exhale and looked to his side to see a very p****** off Lois Lane.

"Why you no good piece of..." her last word was unpronounceable as she head butted Adam only to hit a solid wall of his impenetrable skull which you could here the thud across the barn and she flung back unconscious on the floor.

"Lois!" Clark and Chloe said in unison as they watch her fall to the ground.

Adam gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as the guilt was seething through him at hurting someone but he reopened them and a darker layer of the crimson surrounding his entire pupils.

Clark and Chloe now looked with hesitancy at his appearance it look as much evil as it did scary.

With a low growl Adam was gone with a gust of superspeed leaving the barns atmosphere with a very bitter taste in his wake.
