Summary: Are Lex and Bart alive and will they find Joanna?

Disclaimer: I own nothing. This is fiction

A/N Just so you know, I can't write action scenes or sex scenes, so the scene where they get Joanna, well, use your imagination.

Lost and Found?

"We have to find Joanna."

"We know Victor, but right now I'm more concerned about my husband."

"We're all concerned, but if Bart wakes up and Joanna isn't here, he'll be destroyed and he will kill us."

"AC is right Clark. We need to get Joanna back. You parents can stay here."

"Once again, you're right Oliver. We need to get Joanna back. If it was Jeremy, I'd be out there destroying anyone and anything that stood in my way. And Joanna is family. Mom, Dad, do you mind waiting here?"

"Of course not sweetheart. We'll call you with any updates about either of them."

"Ok, let's go."


"Are we sure that Joanna is here?"

"Positive. Lex's spies said this is the main research facility with the largest lab. What's the plan Oliver?"

"AC and Victor, take care of the lights and cameras, things like that. Clark, find Joanna. I'll find Lionel and his friend."

"What are you going to do with them?"

"I don't know. I'll figure it out. Go."

AC and Victor went down the hallway that led to the security area. Clark and Oliver headed for the main lab.

"Are you certain he'll be in the lab?"

"Of course. Joanna is an experiment and he's a scientist. He'll want to see the results first hand."

"Alright. Let's go."


"Doctor, how are they?"

"Bart is going to be fine. The bullet was a through and through. Our main concern was blood loss and making sure no internal organ was hit. Thankfully, there was no major damage."

"And Lex?"

"Lex's case was more complicated. The bullet was lodged in his chest cavity and we had to go pretty deep to get it out."

"But he's ok?"

"He is. Sadly, his child didn't survive."

"What? Lex was pregnant?"

"Three weeks. The child couldn't survive the blood loss or the shock. I'm very sorry."

The doctor walked out of the waiting room, leaving the Kents to console each other.

"How are we going to tell Clark?"

"Tell me what?"

The couple turned and saw Clark and Oliver at the door, the latter holding Joanna in his arms.

"Boys sit down. We have to tell you something."


Oliver sat beside Bart's bed, Joanna asleep in his arms. He took Bart's hand in his.

"I don't know if you can hear me. I hope you can. We got Joanna back. Lionel was hurt. He's in a coma. His friend was killed. The doctors say you should be alright. You need to wake up soon. I can't look after JoJo by myself. And she needs her Daddy. Please wake up soon."


Clark held his husband's hand in his and wiped at the tears that ran down his face. He had lost a child because of his father in law. How was he meant to deal with this? How would Lex deal with this? All he could do was wait. It didn't look like Lex would be waking up soon. Clark had time to think things over and be there for Lex when he was needed. What else could he do?


A/N Done. R&R please. Next chapter, the epilogue.
