Tess-

I sat in my room, still not able to move from my bed, as I worked on my laptop in complete silence until a voice came from behind,

"Tess Mercer, recovering well I hope." he said, with me still not letting myself turn to check who it was, until the voice finally clued in.

"Lex?" I questioned almost puzzled that he would even know my name,

"it would seem as if you do infact know me, yet I have no memories of who you are." he said, catching me off guard,

"well doesn't everyone know the great Lex Luthor?" I asked not meaning for it to be a question,

"of course dear old sis, but the thing I can't seem to figure out is how you managed to steal my memories while lying almost dead and still get to the hospital in time." He said,

looking as if he had no emotion, yet making me more scared and confused then ever,

"well I'm not sure how you managed to fit me onto your family tree, but I can assure you we are not related, and as for your memories, well good luck on getting them back

because that is another accusation that I have nothing to do with." I said trying to get him off my trail, but as Lex went to respond a nurse came running in saying over and

over again that he must leave right away! Because something was happening, my chart were going up, with stress mostly, but before he left he slipped in his word,

"I'm not sure about the old me, but next time I wouldn't count on you getting to the hospital in time, and that time might come sooner than you expect."

Clark-

I ran to the hospital to see how everyone was doing, but before I managed to let myself inside I saw Oliver waiting outside,

"Oliver? How long have you been here?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't say that he was here every since the argument almost two whole days ago, then he answered,

"I came here after the argument, but left soon after. I came back this morning trying to work out what to say to Tess but I couldn't find the right words to" he said seeming

confused, yet somehow he knew exactly what he wanted.

After we had talked for a while, he told me about his feelings for Tess and how they never completely left him way back when she ended it, as there was always small part of

him that loved her, but as he continued to talk I started to hear a faint, yet not new voice in the background, as I heard it go on I listened in just to get a part of his last

words,

" - Next time I wouldn't count on you getting to the hospital in time, and that time might come sooner than you expect." Once I heard what had been said I ran in trying not

to use my powers with me now identifying that is was Lex talking, but by the time I got to Tess's room all I saw was Tess sitting in her bed, looking more scared then I'd have

ever seen, Oliver bursted in behind me not knowing what was going on, but when he saw the look on Tess's face all he did is run out of the room and look for who ever did

this. I soon clued him in on who we were dealing with and Tess finished the story. When she was done with the story everyone sat silent, no one saying a word, just silence,

until

"Thats it, Lex needs to die, Clark, I did it once, it can be done again." Oliver said with no sign of regret, but before I could say anything Tess jumped in,

"Oliver, Lex came to visit me, not you, he's not going to kill me until he knows more about his past and memories, I'm the only one who can tell him what he needs to know, he

doesn't need to die just yet. We can use his knowledge for a better purpose." Tess said, with it seeming like a better idea at the time. Then I clued in that in the end he

would just be another dead body.

"We can't kill him." I said adding no reason,

"HE THREATENED HER! And your telling me that you are not going to do anything about it!" Oliver said in complete anger,

"look Oliver, no matter how bad he was, or is, I'm not going to be a murderer." I added,

"Clark, his father killed my parents. He killed his father, and now he's going after Tess! You may not want him to be laying dead in the end, but the next dead body is going to

be Lex. Everyone is better with him dead."

Oliver finally finished before him storming out. Tess tried to yell after him but he was out the doors before she could get through a sentence. I then walked a few feet towards

the door then turned back saying nothing right before I flashed out of her room and right to Oliver.

Chloe-

I woke up on the flat hospital bed, as I looked around I saw Jimmy laying on the floor just beside the bed. I sat up to get a drink from the vending machine just across the

hall, when I left the room I thought about last night, about how much I love and care I feel for Jimmy, I thought about how no one has treated me that well in a long, long

time. Once I got back into the room Jimmy started to wake,

"Chloe" he said, calling for me,

"I'm here" I said in a soft, but quiet voice,

"I thought you might have left me" he said in a playful tone,

"Jimmy" I said before adding more,

"I would never leave you by choice, I never stopped loving you, you're my guy. All I ever wanted was you, and now you're back" I finished, but now waving for him to come

back up to the bed right before he began to talk again,

"I never wanted to leave you Chloe, I just want you to be happy, and I want you to make sure that I'm enough for you." He said losing confidence in his sleepy voice,

"you're what I want, your perfect." I said feeling nothing but love,

"I'm far from perfect, I have flaws" he said now starting a smile from my first response,

"your flaws, and all. That's what makes you perfect." I said not losing touch with the love I feel,

"I love you" he said leaning in for a kiss. After our lips separated, I whispered softly in his ear,

"And I love you, always."

Alicia-

I teleported out of the mansion, just as alarms started ringing and the guards came running, I tried to teleport out, but I was somehow unable to move. The guards caught up

to me just as I finally figured this was set up by Lex, the guards then started taking me to Lex,

"Alicia, trying to escape I see." He said when I was lead into his main office,

"I wasn't trying to escape, I wanted to see Clark." I said waiting for the his signal to let the guards leave,

"I thought we were clear, you are not to leave the mansion unless its an order given to you, from me." He said as if I was going to listen to his rules,

"Lex-" I began, before getting cut off,

"I think you might like some details about your recent activity with your abilities, during the night my team put small amounts of lead, into your bloodstream, but here's the

part I just adore, in about forty five minutes you will not be able to control over your abilities, in fact as we speak you are slowly losing control, and when the minutes are up,

then I get to choose when... And where you go." He said, adding nothing else, before I ran out checking the truth. I ran into my room and tried to control what I could, but I

ended up in places around the house that I wasn't hoping for. As I last thought before passing out from everything going through my body so fast,

"he was right"

Lois-

I heard the fire alarms going off.

"No, No, No!" I shouted to myself as I ran into the kitchen. I could smell the burning turkey as I pulled it out of the oven, just as Clark rushed through the door of our

apartment and grabbed me.

"What's wrong!?" he shouted as I elbowed him it the rib, not that he would feel it but it made me feel a bit better,

"nothings wrong smallville, its just the fire alarm, chill" I said pulling away from his grip to tend to the flaming bird.

"I was just trying to cook us dinner" I gestured towards the once nicely set table that was now messed up from clarks super speed after effect.

"Lois… you can't cook" he said then saw the burnt dinner and smiled,

"I know but I just thought, we haven't had a 'date' in over two months" I said as I started to clean up the mess he had made, he took hold of my hand and tilted my face so

that I was now looking him in the eye

"How about I order us a pizza?" he asked then grabbed my phone from my back pocket and started dialing,

Later the pizza guy came and dropped off our food. we sat on the bed and watched movies till we fell asleep and I can't remember ever being this happy but the happiness

soon ended when we got the call.

Sorry about the short chapter but next one will be longer :) please review! :)
