Chapter 10

Clark woke up breathing very hard. He was on a hospital bed; he started panicking. It was then that he heard a familiar voice: his mother was trying to calm him down. He looked over to her seeing the small smile on her face. She calmed him down but he was still on edge.

"Mom, what happened?" Clark said in a whisper.

"The doctors told me you were having a panic attack which led you to collapse."

Clark took a deep a breath, "H-How's Lois?"

"The doctors were able to revive her, and she's in stable condition."

Clark sighed, "Thank God."

"I know. The doctors don't know what happened to her, they said she was doing well."

Martha took her son's hands in her own, "What happened?"

Clark looked at his mother, "I was sitting down next to Lois' bed when I dozed off. I had this dream. It was weird. I saw Lois, Mom. I held her in my arms and she felt so real, so soft. She looked like an angel."

Martha smiled and nodded, telling him to go on, "She told me that Lex did something to her. Then Lex showed up. We fought and he beat me." Clark lowered his voice, "He knew my secret and he used Kryptonite on me and then told his men to finish me off. They threw me off a building and that's when I woke up. And I witnessed Lois flat lining again."

"Again?" Martha asked confused.

"I had a dream a couple of days ago about Lois flat lining, and now it happened," Clark said quietly.

"I don't know what to say."

"I didn't think it was going to happen, but it did," Clark said getting up from the bed.

"Clark, you should be in bed."

"Mom, I promise I will get rest. It's just the stress, I'm fine," Clark said giving his mother a hug, "By the way how did you get here?"

"Chloe. That woman drives fast."

Clark laughed, "Do you need a ride home?"

Martha shook her getting up with her crutches, "No, Bruce is providing that."

"Bruce is here?"

"No, but Alfred is."

Clark nodded walking his mother to the parked car. He greeted Alfred and then walked back into the hospital to find Chloe screaming at one of the doctors. Clark walked up to her, covered her mouth and steered her away giving the doctors an apologetic smile.

Chloe turned around with anger in her eyes but the anger soon disappeared when she saw that it was Clark. She gave a him a hug, "I'm glad you're all right. You gave everyone a scare."

"I'm sorry. Why were you screaming at the doctors?"

"Oh, I wanted to know how it happened. The doctors look suspicious."

Clark nodded. He took Chloe to a secluded area and told her about his dream. She was shocked and pissed.

"The nerve of Lex," Chloe said as she took her keys out of her purse.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Where do you think I'm going? I'm going to Lex's and I'm going to kick his ass."

"Chloe don't do anything irrational..."

"Kicking someone's ass is not irrational, it's a smart plan."

"Look, I have an idea. Come on."

The two hopped into Chloe's car and headed to the Luthor Mansion.

"Okay we're here, so what's the plan?" Chloe asked glancing deviously at her best friend.

Clark took a deep breath, "You stay here. I want to do this alone; it's between Lex and me."

"That's your genius plan? Because it kinda sucks."

Clark glared at Chloe and she glared back, "It's better than yours."

"Please, people would be thanking me for kicking Lex's ass."

"Point taken. All right if I don't come back in ten minutes, then come in, deal?"

"Fine, but your plan still sucks."

Clark chuckled and sped into the Luthor Mansion knocking all the security guards out. He walked into the office hoping to find Lex. All the while he had brief flashes of his recent dream. He was now pissed. Lex thought this was a game; he thought messing with people's lives was a game. Clark's main mission was to keep Lois, his wife, safe. He never would get used to Lois being his wife. It sounds good, he thought smiling. He shook his head; he needed to get back to what he was doing. Before he could walk up the stairs, he saw Chloe walking up with a stun gun.

Chloe put her hands up, "You took too damn long."

"It was barely 5 minutes."

"Oh well, let's go."

They walked upstairs, "What's with the stun gun?" Clark asked.

"Well you never know what might happen."

They walked up to Lex's master bedroom door. Chloe and Clark looked at each other and nodded. Chloe kicked the door open and was shocked to see the scene before her. Clark walked in behind her and his eyes widened.

"Chloe, Clark!" Lana shrieked trying to cover herself.

"We should've called," Chloe whispered to Clark who agreed with a slight nod.

Clark looked at Lex with anger in his eyes. Lex put on his robe, "What are you two doing here other than trespassing?"

Clark, anger still evident, walked up to Lex taking him by the throat making sure he didn't squeeze all the air out, but enough to keep Lex squirming.

"What did you do to Lois?" Clark asked his voice calm but his eyes showing a different emotion.

"I don't know what your talking about," Lex managed to say.

Clark squeezed a little tighter, "Did you not hear my question? What did you do to Lois?"

"Clark, what are you doing!" Lana screamed as she put on her robes about to lunge at Clark.

Chloe made sure the door was locked and blocked Lana's pursuit, "I don't think so, Lana. Your boyfriend did something to my cousin."

"Lex didn't do anything to Lois, so move!"

"Are you that stupid Lana? You are my friend but you can be slow at times. Lex. Is. Evil."

Lana slapped Chloe and Chloe looked at her with disbelief, "You little, bch!" Chloe lunged at Lana and tackled her to the floor. The two girls were going at it.

Clark was to occupied with the man in front of him who was denying every claim, "I swear if you had anything to do with Lois still being in that coma I will kill you."

"Talk is cheap, Clark. Remember I can use this in court."

"Too bad you won't remember," Clark said knocking him out. Clark dropped him on the bed and it was then that he finally noticed Chloe and Lana fighting. Chloe had the upper hand.

Clark shook his head. He separated the former best friends, "You two cut it out!"

"Clark, can you believe what Chloe did to me?" Lana asked.

Chloe eyes widened and she tried to lunge at her but Clark stopped her.

"Yes I know, Lana," Clark said as Chloe stared at him in disbelief, while Lana smiled at him.

Clark smiled but it disappeared quickly, "But you brought this on yourself. Chloe was using self-defense. You attacked her first."

"What!" Lana screamed, "You pick her over me? I'm the one you love."

"Yes, I do, I pick my best friend, the one who stuck by me over you. I don't love you anymore, Lana, I love Lois, my wife. I care for you and I will always will, but I love Lois."

Chloe was proud of her best friend. She smiled at him then whispered something in his ear. He nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry, Lana, but I have to do this." With that he knocked her out. She wouldn't remember him and Chloe being there. He laid her down on the bed and the two friends left.

Clark and Chloe hopped into the car. They agreed that they would both stay with Lois as they were now skeptical with the doctors who were assigned to Lois.

While driving Chloe turned to Clark smiling, "You finally realize you love her?"

Clarks looked at her, "Yeah, I really do love her and I will do anything to protect her. Even if it costs me my life."

Chloe nodded and looked back to the road.

She really hoped it wouldn't come to that.
