The Kent Residence 7.10pm Clark pulled his Ford into the driveway and switched off the ignition. The home that greeted him seemed to welcome his presence, and the automatic porch light flicked on in anticipation of his arrival. The well built, neatly kept house was a far cry from the apartment he used to have in the bustle of Metropolis, but then he had a wife and son to think about now. The Winterman Estates were considered to have the lowest crime rates in the suburbs, and that was one of the reasons he had chosen this quiet little drive to bring up his child. I wonder if Chloe and Ryan are ready to go out? I’m so late I’ll be lucky not to get something thrown at my head when I go through the door. In fact, Chloe had long since become accustomed to his less than punctual arrivals, and was at least thankful he could shower faster than the speed of light. “Clark, is that you?” Chloe’s obviously fearful voice permeated from the kitchen, and when Clark entered he found her cradling Ryan with one arm, and grasping their largest carving knife with the other. Instantly the intuitive cop lost all thoughts of the party, and supersped over to his less than happy family. “Chloe, what’s wrong? Did someone try and force their way in? Did you get a crank call?” Dozens of scenarios ran through his mind, but not one actually touched on the truth. After giving her rampaging heart a second to slow, Chloe put down the carver and tried to put on her best brave face. Clark didn’t need his night ruining just because some weird guy had spooked her. “I guess I must be getting jumpy in my old age,” she quipped, “maybe I need to get back to the Planet before I stab some unsuspecting delivery person out of hysteria.” She smiled, but Clark wasn’t buying the sudden act of bravado. “I know you too well to accept you simply got jittery…” Chloe ran a free hand through the front of her hair and then passed Ryan over to Clark. Whatever happened, the tot would be safe in his father’s arms. “I took Ryan out to the park today.” She explained, “We were sitting on a bench and Ryan was taking in all the sights and sounds. We’d been there awhile when…well I think I saw some weird guy watching us.” “Are you sure?” Clark’s face abruptly turned grave. He’d put enough low life away to fill the Super Bowl. At some point he had no doubt some of them may want revenge. “What did he look like?” “Well I thought I was sure…everywhere I moved his eyes seemed to follow me, but I could be getting paranoid. Maybe I have too much free time.” Chloe shook her head. Even though the theory was convincing, she still felt as if her privacy had been destroyed. “He looked so strange though, and his grin,” She shuddered, “I’ll never forget that toothless, vile grin!” Clark held Ryan close to his chest and wrapped his free arm around Chloe, drawing her near. As her body huddled against his, he felt her trembling from her strange ordeal. It wasn’t like Chloe to be afraid of anything, and now that something had scared her, he doubted it was just paranoia. Without giving it another thought, he decided the party could wait. “Chloe, I think you should go stay with mom and dad while I sort this out. We can forget Lex’s party too. And I don’t want you alone until I know what that guy was up to. If it’s a coincidence, then I’ll find him and prove it. I never want to see you afraid like this again.” Clark squeezed Chloe’s shoulder reassuringly, and then kissed her lightly on the cheek. “I love you too much to see you scared by some creep.” Ryan burbled and a tiny hand appeared as if from nowhere to tug at his daddy’s jacket. The five month old baby had a habit of grabbing attention just when he required it, and one such occasion was now. Clark looked down and smiled, the moment of gloom suddenly broken. He doesn’t want to be left out when it comes to getting some affection… “He’s trying to say we should still go to the party!” Chloe smirked and gazed into her husband’s eyes almost pleadingly. “Even though we’ll be typically ‘Clark Kent’ late, I would rather still go than hang around here and brood over what I think I saw. And after all, I can’t think of two safer places to be tonight.” Clark was skeptical, but he also knew from the tone Chloe had adopted, that she wouldn’t budge on this one. Silently he handed Ryan back to her, ready to shower and get changed at superspeed. “There are some things I want to talk to you about in the car…” Chloe was back to her usual cryptic reporter self. “Oh?” “Just some things I’ve been noticing about our ever-growing son.” The teasing in her voice was blatantly evident now, but so was the suggestion that Clark wouldn’t be getting any answers until he was on his way to the party. The cop nodded, giving in without a fight. When he reached the bottom of the stairs on his way up to the shower, he turned back and raised a brow. “You can’t think of TWO safer places to be tonight?” Chloe’s eyes narrowed and she lobbed a stray piece of popcorn she’d made earlier straight at his head. Clark took the bait and vaporized it with his heat vision just before it hit home. “Well Luthorcorp Plaza is supposed to be the securest place in Metropolis…but I’m betting it’s only the second securest…” She waited a minute, toying with Clark one last time, “I’ll be in the securest place in the world tonight. In your arms, right where I belong.” Clark’s smile illuminated like the Christmas lights in New York. This would certainly be one night to remember. And tomorrow he would hunt down this stalker, whatever it took. TBC... |

Outside Luthorcorp Plaza 7.10pm Paul Stillwater looked up at the huge edifice before him and suddenly felt infinitely small. Luthorcorp Plaza was a stunning accomplishment of both design and high speed building. It had only taken a few months to construct, and yet was one of the most indomitable skyscrapers in the state. It was scary to even think that he; a small town sheriff would be going inside and mixing with quite a few of Metropolis’ hierarchy. Stillwater fidgeted, and as he approached the secure glass doors he had the urge to loosen his tie slightly. Even though the night air was cool he was getting pretty hot under the collar, especially since he and his date were running late, and were probably the last to arrive. “Paul, will you just relax?” Lana tucked her hand around his and squeezed, “We won’t be the last ones to arrive. Trust me, I bet Clark and Chloe won’t have even set out yet. It’s a sin for Clark Kent to be punctual.” Smallville’s third sheriff in just over ten years wished the thought made him feel better, but it didn’t. Kent was a pretty hard act to follow, particularly where Lana was concerned. Even though the two had been ‘just good friends’ for years, Stillwater still felt in the popular detective’s shadow. There was no animosity; in fact the sheriff really liked the farmer’s son turned cop. Tonight, he was even looking forward to talking with Kent. Police talk has got to be more interesting than politics…I so hate all that government talk that actually gets you no where, but sucking up to some democrat. “I just hope Clark gets here, period.” Stillwater nodded as the guard on the double doors checked their invites and ID, and then ushered them in, “If I have to sit and talk about city taxes and who pays for my trash to be removed I’ll go nuts!” Lana couldn’t stifle a tiny giggle as she too wafted past security and into the main lobby elevator. Paul was finally someone she felt safe with, and his no nonsense attitude was straight to the point. If he thought something, he usually came on right out with it. The fact that the thirty year old sheriff resembled a young Ben Affleck helped too, she reminded herself as she admired his clean cut features. “Why do I get the feeling you and Clark, and maybe Lois too will end up in a corner together? Poor Chloe and I will probably get all the boring chit chat…but at least I get to cuddle baby Ryan…” The latter thought brought a wide smile to the petite Smallville resident, and as their ride finally stopped at the correct floor she hopped out and dragged the less than enthusiastic Sheriff with her. As expected, Clark was nowhere to be seen, but at a nearby table Stillwater spotted the next best thing – Kent’s parents. He made a beeline over to them with the still beaming Lana in tow. “Clark’s not here yet?” Jonathan couldn’t resist a look that said ‘what do you expect’, but was beaten to the punch-line by his second adopted son, Daryl. “Clark is ALWAYS late, it’s his trademark!” The kid’s head cocked to one side and his face turned to a look of incomprehension, “He’ll be here later, I promise…but…” Both Martha and Lana recognized the signs in Daryl’s expression. He was a strange youth, who sometimes saw things that hadn’t yet happened. It only occurred if he concentrated usually, but sometimes he didn’t need to focus at all to get a blast of precognition. “Daryl, is everything alright?” Martha ran a hand through the kid’s hair and he snapped back to reality. “I thought I saw…” Daryl shook his head and smiled wanly, “I’m sure it was nothing…” Karyn thumped him and scowled. “I think he’s been sneaking the punch or something. He’s been jittery since we got here!” To make her point more valid, Clark’s ever vigilant sister picked up Daryl’s glass of orangeade and sniffed it suspiciously, “Sure doesn’t smell like orange to me…” “Is too!” Daryl threw a punch back and was tempted to tug on Karyn’s strawberry blonde locks. He paused however, as a flash of the future told him facing Jonathan’s wrath for sibling rivalry just wasn’t worth it. “Hey you two, cut that out!” On cue Jonathan shot them both a fatherly glare, “Don’t you have any manners in front of the Sheriff and Lana?” If he had thought bringing up a superteen had been tough, it had been nothing compared to these pair of warring tearaways. Lana looked to the Kent’s sympathetically. “It’s okay. I’m sure they’re just getting over excited about the party.” She couldn’t resist a jibe at her escort, “unlike some people I could mention…” Stillwater grimaced and pulled a face jokingly. “Ouch, my pride!” He jerked a thumb to the podium where Lex would make his speech. “I think our host is getting tired of waiting to make his sermon.” Across the lavishly decorated room, Lex was standing next to the mini-stage he’d had built chatting with Pete Ross, otherwise known as Metropolis’ youngest ever Mayor. The two seemed engrossed with a certain blonde taking a glass of champagne from a waiter, and as she turned and smiled at them Lex couldn’t help but beam. Doctor Angela Berman was the only woman in his life to prove not everyone wanted him for his millions, and today he was proud to have her by his side. “She’s so beautiful…” Lex couldn’t help but say it one more time as Berman began to cross the room to join them. Pete slapped him on the back. “Man, I envy you. All that money and a gorgeous gal on your arm, what more could a guy ask for?” Lex’s lip curled slightly and he shot Pete the dry grin he was famous for. In truth there was much he could ask for. Pete had a large and loving family who had always been there for him. Clark too had lost his biological parents, but had found something very special in the Kents in return. There would be no parental love for Lex, nor would there be any affection from his two dead siblings. I wonder how I would have turned out if Julian had lived? Would we have bonded, or would things have been one sided with Lionel? None of that mattered now. Lex had a chance for a new family with Berman. Perhaps they would even have children, like Clark. Lex looked at his watch and then to the Kents. Clark was right on schedule – in other words he was as late as ever. I guess I really should start my speech. After all Clark knows what I’m going to say… Jogging up to the platform, Lex hopped into position behind the microphone and tapped it lightly to gain everyone’s attention. “Ladies and Gentlemen,” he coughed faintly, “I think it’s time I made my little oratory, and let you enjoy the rest of the evening in peace rather than being bored with my age-old anecdotes. So, as they say, on with the show.” Lex pulled a small lever and a curtain parted to reveal a model of the plaza. Instead of Luthorcorp, it bore the insignia ‘Lexcorp’. “As you can see, last year I had intended for this structure to be part of a new empire that separated me from all the unlawful dealings of Luthorcorp, and my mendacious half brother. Happily, today because of a few honest peoples’ endeavours…” He looked pointedly at the Kents and their guests, who had also been joined by Lois Lane, “Luthorcorp is now a respectable business again, and I’m glad to be back at the helm. I’d just like to say a big thank you to everyone who made this possible. I won’t embarrass those who are here by saying their names, but they know I owe them a debt of gratitude. While ever I’m in control, I’ll repay that debt by keeping the company totally legal.” Several of the crowd began to applause, but then the main elevator door opened with a ping. Lex almost rolled his eyes as he fully expected Clark to hop out. Instead, half a dozen total strangers emerged wearing grey coveralls, and carrying lightweight Uzi weapons. At their forefront, the dark haired leader let of a blast of his gun into the ceiling, causing plaster and newly fitted flush lights to come tumbling to the floor. He smirked, already enjoying the feeling that this was truly his domain, at least for a few hours. The unfamiliar stranger looked at Lex with a smile of recognition. “Luthorcorp be legal? While ever you’re in control, perhaps my friend, but you won’t be in control for more than an hour at most…” In the throng of guests someone panicked and screamed, and to prove his point the leader turned and rammed another clip into his weapon, then fired indiscriminately into the crowds to quieten the squealer. Lex screwed his eyes closed and pleaded silently for mercy on those who were being hurt. Somewhere deep down, he prayed too that his friends were not among those now lying bleeding or dying on his newly fitted luxury carpet. Where’s Angela? The Kents...Lana…Pete… TBC... |

Hmmn, well 'Frenetic' will probably run straight into another eppy that will most likely be called 'Abyss' It may spell big trouble for our BDA, and Chloe will be having some surprises too...I won't say more, because Suz has apparently already been blabbing
:p Now then, just to get my own back for Suz giving out spoilers, while I'm away you might want to ask her about a fic called 'Damage' she has on her HD :p It's full of TC and a certain crazy Texan too :rofl: *Runs before she reaps the wrath of Suz* Psst, I'll update Slayer before I leave ;) |
