I am chaos, I am darkness, I am evil personified.
Chapter 27: Epilogue: Ever Vigilant
Clark talked Lois into heading for Smallville Medical. "I'm fine, Smallville." Lois complained, as Clark dropped her off. Dr. Hamilton had given Lois an alleged examination, removing the blue k ring while putting her under sedation. Using a secret formula based on electromagnetism, the Biological Scientist eliminated the kryptonite infection from Lois's bloodstream.
Lois's heart rate and other vital signs had returned to normal. Clark picked her up a bit later, thanking Dr. Hamilton. The Superwoman was no more, and the Red and Blue Blur returned to patrolling the streets of Metropolis alone, more aware of his mysterious fate than ever.
Clark enjoyed the silent, relaxing patrols of Metropolis, as well as the exciting confrontations with low-level criminals. He knew that he could make a difference every single night in people's lives. Everybody needs a hobby. He often contemplated.
Clark wondered about Mobus and the unusual being of light that he'd met that day. It gave him a sense of humility, knowing that someone was out there watching him…besides Jon Jonz, The Martian Manhunter. The antics of the Red and Blue Blur were making national headlines, spurring him on ever closer to his fate. Clark didn't realize that a certain black clad, golden masked hero also took notice.
Clark offered to help Lois clean the condo. She declined, instead using the distraction to focus on her true feelings for him. Lois still had mixed feelings about their possible relationship, though she continued to wear his unique ring. Clark looked in on her every night before and after patrol.
Lex and Tess sailed past Bermuda, counting their blessings, and their salvaged weapons stash. Rex Rowland, back in Nebraska, began to sell his share of the arms cache on the Mid-western black market. Despite the best efforts of the Red and Blue Blur team, there was much more work to be done. They'd only succeeded in stopping two thirds of the weapons shipment.
Clark hyper sped around the city, stopping muggers, armed robberies, murders, drug deals, and saving the infrequent cat up a tree, and it was clear to him that he could do much more. However…one had to start somewhere…and remain ever vigilant.
End - or is it?

Back in Falcon Claw, Nebraska, Laura Lake explored the cave where she'd first encountered the phenomenon known as Loracite, a yellowish mineral from which she derived her power.
Today, she'd just refilled a few jugs of the alien type mineral to take back home to her Aunt Wanda's farm. Limiting her Loracite infusions made Laura feel more human, but it carried great risk.
Two sets of young eyes watched the nineteen year old raven haired beauty from the rocky crags above. Blissfully unaware that she was under surveillance, Laura continued on with her business...
