Chapter 39 Final Chapter

Calvin finally woke up and looked around only to find that Chloe was not there. He sat up to look around the room but there was no sight of his blonde hair friend. His heart sunk as he suddenly knew they had her. He had to find a way get her out someway before the unthinkable happened.

Lex was furious to find out that Lois was awake and on a mission to find her cousin. He called a meeting and once everyone was in the building he unleashed his fury on them. Chloe witnessed all of it as she hung from the ceiling. She was ecstatic that Lois was alive but wondered if she would ever get to see her cousin again. She looked down below to see Michael staring at her. He was in the back and he mouthed to her that he would get her out of this. She smiled a little then looked at the bald man below her who was taking his anger out on everyone who was around.

"You idiots could not do a simple a job! How hard is it to find out a man's secret! I pay you guys good money to do a clean job and you couldn't do it!"

Everyone looked down unwilling to make eye contact with the man who could take away their jobs and even their lives with one phone call.

"And you," Lex turned to Spencer, "Tony, the rapist, killer and now doctor, the things I've done for you and you couldn't repay the favor."

"I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? Sorry is not going to keep Lois off my back now that she is awake."

"So what are we going to do?" one of the men asked.

Lex turned around, "You guys are going to torch this place. I want all evidence gone by noon."

"What about the guy and girl," another man asked.

Lex smiled and looked up at Chloe, "I'm sure Tony will have something up his sleeve."

Tony smiled also looking up at Chloe, "Yes. Yes I do."

Lex started to leave but then stopped, "I swear, if you guys screw up you will pay."

Once he left, everyone returned to work. They needed to plan what would happen at noon. Michael also left. He needed to get Calvin quick before… well, he didn't want to think what Spencer would do to Chloe.

"Ms. Sullivan, I'll be back in two hours. This is going to be fun," Tony laughed as he turned and left.

Chloe hung, helplessly praying that Calvin or Michael would find her.

Clark knocked on Diana's door. He had called her earlier and told her that he needed to speak to her. She opened the door. He smiled at her as she let him in.

"How are you and the baby?"

"We're fine. How you are?" Diana asked motioning him to the couch.

"I'm fine as well, even though I could be better."

"What happened?"

Clark didn't really want to talk about it, "This is a nice place you have here."

Diana tilted her head feeling his discomfort, "Clark, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Clark smiled at her, silently thanking her for understanding, "I do owe you an explanation on what happened yesterday. You saw me speed in there and stop the bullet from hitting Lois didn't you?"

Diana nodded Clark sighed, "How?"

"Clark, I will tell you what you need to know. Everything that we discuss here is to be kept here. I'm trusting you. If you betray my trust I swear I will hurt you."

Clark nodded, "I promise I will never reveal your secret because I trust you as well."

Diana started to tell Clark her story and how she became what she is now.

Michael walked to Calvin's cell with a bag in his hand. This was the only time he could talk to him since he had to get to Bruce's house to warn him.

Walking in he saw Calvin sitting and looking lost. The younger man turned around to look at Michael.

"Where is she?"

"She's fine for now. I have to go warn go Bruce," Michael threw Calvin the bag.

"What's this?"

"Things that are useful to your advantage. Get her out of there and get yourselves out of here."

"What's going to happen?"

"They are planning to torch this place. I heard Lois is awake so Lex is pissed."

Calvin nodded, "Get out here and warn Bruce. Remember stay safe. I will get Chloe out of here."

Michael nodded and left. Calvin looked at the bag and opened to see what was in it. He smiled.

"I'll get you out of there, Chloe, don't worry," he whispered taking the contents out of the bag.

Clark was surprised that Diana took it so well and more surprised that she had some of his abilities. She could even fly and he couldn't. Which he wasn't mad about since he was afraid of heights. He felt much more comfortable around her knowing that he could trust her. He did before but now he knew for sure that she was trustworthy.

"Can you do me favor?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"I want to give Lois what she wants."

"And that is?"

"A divorce. Today if it's possible."

"Usually a divorce is a long process but in your case it wasn't even a real marriage."

"So?" Clark asked.

"So, I have some people that could do it today if you want."

"That would be good. I'll go home now and tell Lois."

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, this for Lois."

"How do you feel about this, Clark?"

Clark stood up and headed to the door. Diana followed as he turned to her, "It doesn't matter how I feel. I promised myself to keep her happy."

"Even if it costs you your happiness?"

"Yes. Even if it means I'm unhappy."

Diana didn't say anything else but took a card out of her pocket, "This is the address. Meet me in an hour."

Clark took a look at card, "It's in Smallville?"

"Yes, now go so I can get ready."

Clark smiled and gave her a hug, "Thank you."

Lois came downstairs to the smell of coffee. She greeted Martha and sat down with a cup in her hands. She hadn't seen Clark ever since 'the talk' which pissed her off. He had kissed her again then said they would get a divorce. She knew she had asked for the divorce but did she really want it? Of course she did. She convinced herself that it was supposed to be this way.

Lois was so lost in her own thoughts she didn't even notice Martha was talking to her.

"Lois?'

Lois shook her head, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Kent, what were you saying?"

"I was asking if you've seen Clark. I didn't see him this morning."

"No, I haven't seen him since last night," Lois said looking down at the counter top.

Martha could tell something was wrong between the two of them but before she could ask, Clark walked in, "Hey Mom, Lois."

Lois murmured hello and continued to drink her coffee.

Clark sat down across from Lois, "Can you get ready in thirty minutes?"

"Why?"

"To sign the papers."

"What papers?"

"The divorce papers."

Calvin glanced at his watch. It was eleven now; an hour before this whole building would be nothing but rubble. When he saw Michael again, he had to remember to thank him for his gear. He was now wearing all black which included pants, tank top, a vest, black gloves and boots with his trademark hat. Michael also included a knee brace and a concealed weapon. Calvin never really like to resort to violence but it was either fight or die. He just stared at his hands, waiting. He had done a little running before in the cell. He was still limping and in pain but he was all right for now. As long as he didn't think about the pain, he would be able to get Chloe out.

He looked again at the time; it was eleven fifteen. He knelt and said a silent prayer.

Bruce was doing some work when Michael burst in. Bruce immediately stood up looking annoyed.

"What's going on?"

"Chloe and Calvin are in trouble. You need to get people over there before it's too late."

"What's going on?"

"Lex is planning to basically blow up the place and make it look like it was an accident."

Bruce clenched his teeth, "Where's the address?"

Michael gave it to him. Bruce looked at it and called somebody on the phone. He told them quickly to get a squad ready to go to the location.

"You stay here," Bruce said. It wasn't a suggestion, it was an order.

"What?"

"I'd rather have you stay here safe than find you dead." With that, Bruce left his office and closed the door.

He met Alfred in the hallway.

"Can you keep him busy?"

"Of course, sir."

Bruce thanked him and ran downstairs taking the secret doorway to bat cave. He needed some supplies before he left and he needed to call Diana.

11:25

Clark and Lois quietly discussed their options for divorce with the judge. Diana had joined them just to make sure everything went according to plan.

"Well, hearing your case, you two certainly have had problems that can't be fixed, am I right?"

Lois and Clark both nodded as the judge sighed, "All right, all you have to do is sign these papers here and you will be free to go."

Diana handed Clark a pen. He took the paper in his hands and started reading.

Lois rolled her eyes, "Smallville, are you kidding me? Sign the papers so we can leave."

Clark turned to her and glared, "I'm reading and until I finish I'm not signing anything."

Diana hung her head. This would be longer than she thought.

"Forgive me, Father, for what I will do today. If I die, then it was meant to be, but please make sure Chloe, Diana, my unborn child are okay." Calvin looked up as the lights in the room began to flicker. Making the sign of the cross, Calvin stood up. He walked to the cell door and pulled it off its hinges. It was dark but not too dark to see. He was determined to find Chloe. He walked to his left making sure he stayed close to the walls.

Bruce sped down the highway. The place was just outside of Metropolis. He picked up cell phone and called Diana.

11:30

Diana's phone rang. It was Bruce. She picked up but before she could say anything, Bruce jumped in and explained what was going on.

Clark was finally done reading. He picked up his pen and put the point on the line. He took a glance at Diana. She was clenching her fists. Zeroing his hearing in, he could hear what Bruce and Diana were talking about it. When he heard the address, he dropped his pen and stormed out of the office shocking the judge and Lois. Lois ran after him but he was already gone.

Calvin ran. He needed to get her quickly. The more time he wasted the longer Chloe would have to wait.

Clark sped as fast as he could through traffic just as Bruce was pressing the gas a little harder.

Diana dragged Lois into her car and drove quickly to the location. On the way, Diana told Lois what Bruce had told her.

Calvin finally found the place where Chloe was. She was still hanging from the ceiling. He ran to her.

"I'll get you out of here. Don't worry, Chlo!"

"Calvin, hurry he's coming."

Calvin found the rope and slowly let her down. When her feet hit the floor, he ran to her and embraced her.

Calvin put his hand up, "Before you ask, I will tell you later. I can smell the gas already. We need to leave."

But before they could a small explosion went off sending them to the wall. Calvin hissed in pain. He looked over at Chloe who was lying unconscious.

"Chloe? Come on, Chloe, wake up. Come on."

He looked at her head. She wasn't bleeding but she would have quite the headache tomorrow. With his strength, he picked her up and carried her on his back. They needed to get out now.

Calvin stopped suddenly. None other then Spencer stood before them. He was clearly annoyed and pissed. Calvin put Chloe down on the floor, took his vest and shirt off and covered Chloe. He had his gun in his back pocket. He stared at Spencer and waited for him to make his move.

Spencer's ran at him and Calvin punched him sending him to the floor. Picking him up, he threw Spencer against the heater. Spencer shrieked in pain. Calvin threw his gun to the side. He wanted to punch the living day lights out of the man who had caused him so much pain.

He ran to him but Spencer punched Calvin in the abdomen and threw him to the floor. While Calvin was on the floor trying to catch his breath, Spencer found a lead the pipe; the same one he used on him before. He hit Calvin's bad knee with it making him scream in agony.

Chloe shook her head. She called Calvin's name and both Spencer and Calvin looked down to her. Calvin screamed for her to get out and with one swift hit Spencer knocked him out cold. Chloe realized she was in trouble and tried to run. Spencer stalked her. Everyone in the building was gone except for three of them. Spencer was in charge of the place being blown up, but before he did that he wanted Chloe and he would get her before the time came.

Bruce had taken another route since there was traffic. He didn't know why but he wasn't going to stop until he got there.

Clark had stopped to help out people who were in trouble. There was a multiple car accident. He told himself once he was done, he would be on his way to get Calvin and Chloe out. Diana and Lois also took another route to avoid the traffic jam. While Diana was driving, Lois had called Diana's squad and an ambulance to meet them at the location.

It was a race against the clock.

Chloe screamed. Spencer had gotten a hold of her and was starting to tear her clothes off. Calvin shook his head in obvious pain. He heard Chloe scream and Spencer telling her to shut up. Calvin focused on them. He knew what would happen if he didn't get to her.

Picking himself up he stood grimacing in pain. Jumping a little he ran in a blur and came to a stop behind Spencer. Calvin picked him up and threw him across the room into a pile of barrels.

Calvin knelt down to Chloe and held her in is arms, "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you." He took his shirt that was on the floor and covered Chloe.

Calvin stood up and walked toward Spencer but covered his eyes when flames erupted and surrounded him. The flames formed a circle around Calvin and Spencer. Standing in front him was Spencer with the lead pipe. Calvin could see his nose was bleeding.

"You know, in about 20 minutes this place will blow up killing Chloe."

"What about me?" Calvin asked clenching his fist.

"In 5 minutes I'm going to kill you." Spencer smiled maliciously.

Calvin laughed, "You've been saying that for awhile. Like always you are Lex's and will always be one."

Spencer's smile faltered and he ran at him with lead pipe in hand. Calvin side stepped him and punched him making him fall to the ground. But before Calvin could recover Spencer hit his leg with the lead pipe sending him to the ground. He held his leg in agony as Spencer took a knife out of his pocket, ready to slit the younger man's throat.

Calvin saw this and held Spencer away from his throat. He was tired but he had to keep fighting.

"You're weak, like everyone else in your family. You're nothing but a piece of trash like your sister!" Spencer yelled.

Calvin clenched his teeth and tried to use his strength to get the knife away from his throat.

"You will die like your parents did. I know who did it. I know who killed your parents."

"Liar! Don't you dare talk about my parents or my sister!" Calvin pushed him off and stood up even though his knee was killing him.

Spencer stood up as well, "I didn't lie to you before when I told you your girlfriend was pregnant did I?"

Calvin walked slowly to Spencer with anger in his eyes, "I told you! Don't you ever talk about her!"

The place was getting hotter and both men were sweating from the heat of the flames.

Spencer backed up, "I know who killed your parents. My father did it and you know what? I'm glad he killed them because it made you suffer like I did."

Calvin stopped in his tracks, flashbacks of his parents dying right in front him and his sister getting raped because of Spencer. Calvin's eyes turned to ice. Without even thinking, he sped to Spencer and knocked the knife out of his hand.

Picking him up, Calvin slammed Spencer onto the floor and started punching the crap out of
him, taking his suffering and anger out on him.

Kill him!

Calvin, as if he were in a trance, took the knife Spencer had and put it near his throat.

Kill him, make him suffer!

Flashbacks of he and Diana came into his mind. He couldn't do it. He couldn't kill Spencer. All he wanted was justice so he dropped the knife.

Spencer laughed even though he was bleeding profusely, "I knew you couldn't do it. You're weak just like everyone else you-"

Calvin punched him, knocking him out. The building started shaking. He looked at his watch. They had seven minutes before this whole thing blew up. He picked up Spencer and carried him on his shoulder. He climbed on the boxes and jumped down away from the flames.

"Calvin, over here!" Chloe yelled. She was near the door.

The building started shaking more and Calvin moved as fast as he could with Spencer on his shoulder. He met Chloe at the door they started running. They needed to get up three flights of stairs in five minutes. Going quickly, they reach the first flight but Calvin stopped and collapsed.

"Oh my God, Calvin. Come on, we have to leave!" Chloe yelled trying to get him up.

Calvin couldn't move any more. His knee had let out, "Go Chlo! Just get out! Just tell everyone I love them."

"No, I'm not leaving you! You mean too much to me. You have to keep on moving!" Chloe said as she started crying.

"I have nothing left in me, Chlo." Calvin had tears in his own eyes, "Just go!"

"No," she knelt down next to him.

Calvin held her. He looked at the time. Two minutes before they would be gone. Chloe cried into his shoulder while Calvin held her.

11:59

Clark reached the building and scanned the area. He found them and ran. Everything went into slow motion as he sped into the building.

Bruce, Diana and Lois came at the same time. Following them were the ambulance, Diana's group, and Bruce's people as well as the emergency crew. All of them started heading out towards the building but were thrown back as the building exploded.

Bruce sat up and looked on as the building collapsed, "Chloe," he whispered, "Calvin, no!"

Lois screamed as tears formed in her eyes, "Chloe!"

"Oh God, no," Diana whispered.

They were too late.
