AN: Martha didn't quit her Luthor Corp job , and is still working there. Don't know how long Martha and Jonathan were married, so I'm making up a number. Lionel has become obsessed with getting Martha to like him, and leave Jonathan, and through the past few years, he has gone partly insane, and is able to cover, but the more he wants her, the more he loses his sanity. Glen has lived in Smallville and has been friends with Paige all his life. Glen went to war with Whitney, and came back with him. Glen is also in college with Paige and the others.
College. Whitney, Lana, Pete, Chloe, Glen, Paige, and Clark and a bunch of other students leave 1st period, and disperse into their 2nd period classes. Glen, Paige, Lana and Whitney go into English. Pete, Clark, and Chloe go into Physics.
English class. Glen, Whitney, Paige, Lana, and the other students enter, and the teacher enters. They all begin writing notes on the class.
"I wish I could find my real family. Leo's been a great friend, but he's hiding something from me. Every time I ask about my birth family, he changes the subject." thought Paige.
The bell rings, snapping her out of her thoughts. The group leaves to eat. In the cafeteria, Whitney, Lana, Glen, Paige, Pete, Chloe, and Clark all get their lunch from the cafeteria line, and sit down to eat.
"Paige, what's wrong? Aren't you hungry?" asked Pete.
"Oh, sorry." said Paige.
Paige eats her food, but staring off into space.
"Paige?" asked Lana.
"I'm sorry. I've just been thinking about my birth family. I think Leo might now about them, but he keeps changing the subject." said Paige.
"Well, maybe he might accidentally slip, and give you a hint." said Chloe.
"But that may take years. I want to know now." said Paige, frustrated.
"Well, finding your birth family isn't the best thing. Trust me." said Chloe.
"I know you are mad at your mother for leaving you, and I kind of am, too. But I'd at least like to know who they are. You at least know her name, even though you don't know where she is." said Paige.
"I guess you're right. But don't open up right away, or you could get hurt. said Chloe.
"Yeah. My mom and stepfather died in the meteor shower, and Nell moved away. But my dad and stepmother are still alive, and living in Smallvile, so I still have part of my family." said Lana.
"I wish I could meet some of them. But I'm not sure if they are all still alive." said Paige.
"What do you mean?" asked Glen.
"When I was little, about 5 or 6, I felt pain, like someone close to me had died, but I didn't know who. Clark, who had just been adopted, was okay, and so were mom, and dad. They just told me I was sick, and sent me to bed. The feeling is still there." said Paige.
Metropolis. Lionel Luthor opens a drawer, and pulls out 2 files. One is marked Clark Kent, and the other is marked Paige Kent. files.
"Clark Kent. You are one mysterious young boy. And is your sister is an amazing young girl. I wonder how you two keep appearing at the crime scene in time to save everyone." said Lionel.
Martha walks in, and Lionel places the folders in his desk.
"Martha, what can I do for you?" asked Lionel.
"I need to have the day off. It's my anniversary. I want to do something special for this one." said Martha.
"You've been together how long?" asked Lionel.
"30 years." said Martha.
"Then this is important. You can use the Luthor Corp helicopter to return to Smallville. I'll see you tomorrow, Martha." said Lionel.
Martha leaves the room.
A few minutes later, Lionel looks out the window to see Martha in the Luthor Corp helicopter heading for Smallville. Lionel takes the 2 files from his drawer, and locks them in his safe.
"I'll see you, Martha. Sooner than you think." said Lionel.
Lionel pockets his keys, and turns on his cell phone.
"Now, here is what I want you to do." said Lionel.
Smallville. Kent farm. A limousine pulls up, and 3 men walk out, and knock Jonathan unconscious. Then drag him into the limo, and drive away.
1 hour later...
Jonathan is flung into a ditch, and the limo drives away.
Island. Martha wakes up, and discovers where she is, and that the copter is gone. She then sees Lionel walking up to her.
"Where am I?" asked Martha.
"Martha, I brought you here, so we could get married." said Lionel.
"What?" asked Martha.
"I just received word that your husband was found in a ditch in the woods, a few miles from your farm. He was found dead." said Lionel.
"No. Jonathan." said Martha, crying.
Lionel comforts her, and smiles evilly.
Smallville. Talon. Lana and Paige arrive to work. Lex greets them.
"I have to get to Metropolis. My father, and your mother never arrived at a meeting, scheduled at 12:00. The board members had to postpone the meeting until tomorrow. If he doesn't reappear soon, Lucas and I will become the owners of Luthor Corp." said Lex.
"I better call Clark." said Paige.
Paige heads to the phone.
Smallville College. Newspaper. Chloe is editor, as well as writer. Clark and Pete are also writers. Clark answers the phone.
"Hello?" asked Clark's voice.
"Clark, mom, and Lionel Luthor disappeared in Metropolis, and dad isn't answering at home." said Paige.
"I'll get home, and find him." said Clark, hanging up.
"What's wrong?" asked Chloe.
"Mom and Lionel Luthor disappeared in Metropolis, and dad isn't answering at home. Paige had to call me, because she's busy at the Talon. I'm going to have to go to the farm." said Clark.
"Well, hurry up." said Pete.
Clark nods, and leaves the college.
Outside the college, Clark uses his super speed to run away.
Kent farm. Clark arrives, and can't find Jonathan.
"Dad?" asked Clark, running at normal speed, and calling his name.
Woods. Ditch. Jonathan wakes up, and discovers his leg is broken. Jonathan finds a log reaching from the bottom of the ditch to the top. Jonathan begins to climb up the log, and makes it to the top in about a half hour. Jonathan tries to drag his foot.
"SOMEONE HELP..." yelled Jonathan.
Jonathan trips on a root, falling to the ground.
"...me..." said Jonathan, losing consciousness.
Hospital. Jonathan's room. Jonathan wakes up to see Clark over him.
"Clark?" asked Jonathan.
"I found you just in time. The doctors say your leg is broken. You're going to have to rest here for a few weeks." said Clark.
"What? What about the farm? Martha's job at Luthor Corp, Paige's work at the Talon, not to mention that you and Paige go to college, no one would be able to work on the farm." said Jonathan.
"Don't worry. I'll quit school, and..." said Clark.
"And you won't finish that sentence. Your education is the most important thing. I had to get that money from Martha's father for yours and Paige's tuition. And it wasn't easy." said Jonathan.
"Alright. I won't quit school, but I don't know who is going to look after the farm." said Clark.
"Where's Paige?" asked Jonathan.
"I just called her. She's on her way from the Talon." said Clark.
"Lionel's men threw me in the ditch. I think he's taken your mother somewhere." said Jonathan.
Clark's eyes widen, as he runs using his super speed.
Outside the Talon, Paige walks outside of the Talon, and is knocked unconscious by a masked man, who drags her into a Luthor limousine.
On the island, Martha is alone.
"Lionel has taken too long to find firewood. Where is he?" asked Martha.
She looks to see a helicopter leaving the island.
"NO! Don't leave me here alone!" said Martha.
Her woods fell on deaf ears, as Lionel was piloted back to Metropolis.
"Don't worry, Martha. I'll be back, when your husband is dead." said Lionel, from the copter.
Luthor Corp. Paige wakes up, restrained.
"Where am I?" asked Paige, trying to orb, but couldn't.
A doctor enters.
"You must have suffered side effects from the meteor. Well, I'll fix that." said doctor, who began to perform tests on her.
Hospital. Lionel arrives and enters the room, not seeing Lex follow him.
Jonathan's room. Lionel sees the sleeping Jonathan.
"You'll never have Martha again. Not as I'm alive." whispered Lionel, who pulled out some wires.
The flat line started to start. Lex burst in.
"Dad? What are you doing?" asked Lex.
Helen enters, and sees what Lionel did. She runs out, and is back with a security guard, who arrests Lionel. Helen places the wires back in, and awakens Jonathan.
"Are you alright?" asked Helen.
"Yes. What happened?" asked Jonathan.
"My father tried to kill you." said Lex.
"Why?" asked Jonathan.
"I have no idea." said Lex.
Talon. Chloe, Pete, and Whitney are sitting down. Lana is serving people. Clark arrives, and tells the 4 what has happened. The phone rings, and Lana picks it up.
"Clark, Lionel just tried to kill your father. The police have him in custody." said Lana.
"I hope he's alright. Where's Paige?" asked Clark.
"She left to go to the hospital, over an hour ago." said Lana.
"Something is wrong." said Clark.
The group pulls out their cell phones, and begins to try calling Paige.
Outside Talon. Paige's cell phone, hovering over the sewer line, rings. A man walking by, knocks it into the sewer, where its connections are destroyed.
Talon. The signals get messed up.
"My dad's hurt, and my mom's still missing. And now Paige is gone." said Clark.
Leo orbs into a closet, and runs out.
"Guys, I can sense Paige. She's in Luthor Corp laboratory." said Leo.
"Let's go." said Clark.
Leo grabs everyone's hands, and orbs out.
Luthor Corp. Energy balls hit all of the doctors, turning them to ashes. Paige looks up, and sees a familiar face.
"YOU!" said Paige, a little fearful.
The warlock laughs, and conjures up an energy ball.
"Say goodbye witch!" said warlock, hurling the energy ball.
