Chapter 36 part 2

Clark unwrapped his arms from around Lois and stood up softly. He knew she was awake but didn't want to disturb her. He walked into the bathroom to get cleaned up and then headed downstairs. He smelled coffee and walked into the kitchen to find his mom cooking.

"Mom?"

She turned around and smiled, "Hey, honey."

"I thought you were in D.C.," Clark said sitting down while his mother gave him a plate of breakfast.

"Just came in today, I just wanted to come back home."

Clark stood up and hugged her, "I'm glad you're back, mom."

They broke away and Clark went back to his breakfast. Martha looks up at her son; he seemed happy and relaxed.

"Is there something you want to tell me, Clark?"

Clark smiled, "Yes, but you will see in a few minutes, I promise."

He stood up and grabbed his jacket. Martha followed him to the door, "Is she okay?"

He glanced toward the stairs and smiled at his mother, "She's okay, she will be just fine."

He walked out the door and she quickly walked upstairs to Clark's room. She opened the door softly and was met with hazel eyes.

Tears formed in both women's eyes as they embraced in a tight hug. No words were spoken. Martha was filled with joy; the women she considered as a daughter was awake. Lois cried into the older woman's shoulder with tears of happiness. Martha was a second mother to Lois and seeing her again made her happy inside. Lois was back to the place she called home and she was thankful for it.

Martha grabbed her face and wiped Lois' tears away, "Thank god you're okay. I missed you so much."

Lois laughed a little despite the tears that were threatening to fall again, "I missed you too...mom."

Martha smiled and they hugged again. Clark stood in the shadow, watching the scene. He knew he should give them their privacy but he loved to see his mother and Lois happy. He sped back outside to do his chores but he couldn't help smiling. After two months he had reason to.

"How long?" Calvin asked Chloe.

"What?"

"How long do we have to wait?"

"Two to three days. Can you hold on for that long?" Chloe asked turning towards him.

"I guess, I mean I've lasted for this long," he said quietly. "If I didn't get shot we wouldn't be this in situation," Calvin said laying his head on her lap softly.

"What you could do about it, Cal?"

"You know what I could do, Chlo. You know what I am capable of doing."

"Yea I know. Why didn't you use your abilities."

He smiled sheepishly, "I invented a drug for myself that stops me from using my abilities. That's why I haven't been acting out of character when I lose my temper. I guess I made the drug too strong. Even if I have my abilities back I'm still weak and beaten up so I can't use them until my body fully heals."

"I'm surprise Lex didn't hear about it."

"My parents tried to keep it a secret. That's why we left Smallville when I was younger."

"You know, I never knew you lived in Smallville," Chloe said.

"Of course you didn't. Just because we were rich didn't mean we loved to flaunt our money and show our power like the Luthors do.

"I'm glad you didn't turn out to be a power-hungry bastard."

"I'm glad too..."

Chloe ran hand through his curly hair as Calvin flexed his hand, "I have a feeling something worse is going to happen."

"What more could they do, Chlo?"

"I guess you will find out won't you."

Calvin and Chloe both turned their heads to see Spencer with his men standing near the cell door.

The men grabbed Calvin. He struggled so they used a taser gun on him and he went limp. Chloe was horrified by the scene but she could do nothing about it since she was grabbed by one of Spencer's men.

They dragged Calvin to a room where he was strapped to a table, while Chloe went to the video room. This was where they put her, where she had to watch Calvin be tortured day in and day out. She watched and listened to him in the room where they put him.

Spencer walked into the room where Calvin was, "I bet you missed me didn't you?"

Calvin looked at him but said nothing.

"Ah, the silent treatment. No worries, I hate when you talk. I talked to Lex a couple of days ago, you know about how the physical torture isn't really working, and Ms. Sullivan will not talk. So I was thinking we could use a different method. I told Lex you are very loyal to your pregnant girlfriend and…"

"I swear you touch one hair on her head, I will kill you."

Spencer lifted his hand, "Don't worry, I won't touch her. I'm going to hurt you physically and mentally. I will make you suffer. If you ever survive, you will remember this very day: the day you betrayed your girlfriend."

"How would I betray my girlfriend?"

Spencer snapped fingers and two women come in, lust in their eyes, Calvin's eyes widened, "You wouldn't."

Spencer sighed, "Couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, but I will unless Chloe tells us what we need to know."

Calvin clenched his jaw in pure anger and tears threatened to fall, "Chloe! If you can hear me, don't listen to him! Don't give in!"

Chloe watched, tears forming in her eyes. She starts shaking while she said no.

The women advanced on Calvin and all he could do was cry and scream out of pain and anger knowing he betrayed Diana.

Michael was in the video room as well. Seeing enough, he decided that this needed to stop. He left the secluded building needing air. He walked to his car. He was going to get them out. He would go see Bruce Wayne.

Clark was working in the barn when he heared footstep behind him.

"Smallville, we need to talk."

"Lois, could we do this later."

"No," she stepped up to him grabbing him by his collar and dragging him to the loft.

Clark didn't resist. She let him go and demanded for him to sit. He obliged not wanting to get on her bad side.

She started pacing as he looked on, "We need to get a divorce."

"What?"

"Look, I know why you did it. Your mom told me everything and I thank you for what you did."

"But?" Clark asked getting up.

"We are not together, Clark, and you know that. I can't do this right now. My cousin is missing and…"

"And I told you I would find her. Don't do this Lois," he said looking at her.

She looked away, "Do what?"

"That!" Clark walked towards her.

He lifted her chin up. He knew Lois was putting up her walls, not letting anyone in, "Don't shut me out, Lo," he said softly.

She couldn't take her eyes off his. He took another step towards her, "Let me in, like you did last night," he said softly.

He knew he was taking a big risk but he didn't care. He kissed her passionately, and to his surprise she reciprocated. He tugged on her lower lip asking for entrance. She obliged and tongues battled for dominance. He loved the feeling of her lips against his, the feeling of her tongue battling his, and the feeling was mutual. Lois slipped a hand under his shirt feeling his tight abs under her palm. Clark held her by her waist as she moved her hand to his soft black hair loving the way it felt against her hands.

Once they come back for air their foreheads touched while they caught their breath. Lois closed her eyes. She knew this was so wrong but it felt so good. Before she could say anything Clark's cell phone rang, and the two broke apart.

He took the call, not taking his eyes off of Lois. She walked toward the window turning away from him.

Clark ended the call quickly, "Lois?"

"Yea, Smallville."

"I have to go. I mean we'll talk about this when I come back, right?"

"Do what you have to do," she said not looking at him.

He walked towards her, putting a hand on her shoulder. She jerked away.

He took a step back, hurt at her gesture and without another word he left.

Lois took a deep breath and whispered, "What is happening to me?"

Clark walked toward the car. When he heard Lois' question he softly replied, "It's called love, Lo."

Clark drove to the manor quickly. Bruce's call had sounded urgent.
