Years later Clark living in Metropolis, becomes the city's hero going under the name Superman. Under this secret identity Clark comes across Lex again. With Lex plotting to take control of Metropolis,can Clark prevent Lex from accomplishing his goal ?. Author's Note: In case you don't know this fic will be a real tear jerker.For Chlark and Chloe fans so grab your tissue boxes before reading. Chapter 1 When Clark and Chloe got off the plane they walked down the steps holding each other's hands. Chloe glanced down at her engagment ring Clark gave to her in New York. She couldn't stop smiling as she looked at it,before her gaze returned to Clark. Little did they know they we're being followed by James Wilson Fisk's assistant. When Clark and Chloe entered the airport James stood outside watching them.He turned his back keeping eyes on them,as he called Fisk. "Yeah Mr. Fisk it's me I just got off the plane,and am in Smallville Kansas." he said "Good James I want you to capture Chloe Sullivan,and find out what she knows. That boy is hiding something he doesn't want people to know about. And I want to know what that is,i'm tired of him stopping my plans." said Fisk. "Right Mr. Fisk I'll do as you wish over and out." he said before hanging up. As James continued to follow Clark and Chloe he watched to two split at the restroom. James quickly snuck into the women's restroom seeing no one else was inside.He hid himself inside one of the stalls waiting for Chloe to come out.As he heard Chloe start to come out he quickly got snuck up behind her. Covering her mouth and noes,with chloriform. Within moments Chloe was passed out. When Clark walked out he waited for Chloe to come out.A few minutes started to pass,before he started to worry. Clark looked down at his watch before heading toward a help desk. a woman greeted Clark "Hi I was wondering if you could help me find someone. You see I got off the plane with my girlfriend and now I can't find her. Here's a photo of her do you know where she could be ma'am." he said pulling out a recent photo. The woman nodded yes sir I saw her with a man who looked like he was in his early 30's. He had her around his shoulder,she looked like she was passed out." "Passed out ..which way did they go" Clark said frantic. The woman pointed to the main entrance and Clark dashed out the front door. When Clark stopped he ran up to man standing near by. "Excuse me sir i'm trying to find a young woman have you seen her." he said showin him the same photo. "Yes I did some odd man got into a car with her and took off north from here." he said "Thank you sir" Clark said before leaving again. When Clark was out of sight he used his speed to search for Chloe. Meanwhile James stopped the car he was using next to an empty old building in Smallville. After James tied Chloe up to a chair he used some smelling salt to wake Chloe up. Chloe opened her eyes still feeling out of it.Before she same to her senses seeing the man infront of her. " Who are you why did you kidnap me ?" Chloe said feeling scared and confused. "I'll be the one asking questions,and you're going to give me answers.If you value your life you'll tell me what I want to know." said James. "I'm not telling you anything" Chloe snapped. "Oh but I think you will Chloe Sullivan !" he said opening a suitcase. Inside were different tools like a settling torch,knifes,etc. James pull out a knife holding it in his hand "Tell me about Clark Kent" said James looking down at Chloe. "He's just a farm boy who does chores for his parents." Chloe snarked. James stuck the knife into Chloe's left leg "wrong answer !" said James. Chloe screamed in pain as she felt the knife go in. She looked down at her leg as she saw the blood pour out quickly. "I want to know the truth about Clark Kent,my boss is tried of him meddling in his plans.Now tell me the truth about Clark Kent how did he get his powers." said James. "I don't know what your talking about,Clark just has a hero complex.He has a habbit of wanting to save people." Chloe said looking up at James. James glanced back at his open suit case and pulled out a welding torch,slipping on some goggles. After he started the flame he looked back at Chloe fixing the flame low. James then lowers the flame to Chloe's open wound placing it over it. He watched Chloe cry out in pain for a few moments. "Tell me how did he get his powers where is he from." said James. "I already told you I won't tell you" Chloe said. James then pulled out a small battery which had some spark plugs hooked up to it,with a spounge at the end.Which he soaked in a small bucket of water. He then turned back to Chloe staring at her "This is your last chance,tell me the truth about Clark Kent." he said. "Never you'll have to kill me first i'll never tell you about Clark." Chloe said. "Have it your way i'll just get my answers else where." he said before pressing the wet spounge against Chloe's body. Chloe screamed out in pain at the top of her lungs as Clark searched through Smallville his Super Hearing picked up Chloe's cries of pain. When Clark finally reached Chloe's location he found her,tied to a chair alone. His mouth hung open almost speechless "C-Chloe what happen to you" he said before ripping off the ropes that held her. "a man..he kidnapped me to try and get information about you.But I-I didn't say a word to him." Chloe said barely able to keep her eyes open,her voice weak. "I don't care about that,right now I need to get you to a hospital." Clark said picking up Chloe. "I don't know if I can make it this time Clark.Clark if I don't make it I-I want you to know,that I love you Clark. I'll always love you Clark." she said touching his face. "Chloe don't say that you're going to be fine." Clark said trying not to choke up,with a weak smile. "Clark I...I" Chloe said before her body went limp in his arms. Clark eyes went wide when Chloe didn't move. "No Chloe..No don't leave me you have to stay with me.We've got a future to live together just like we planned remember..." Clark said as tears fell down his face as he started to cry. Clark laid Chloe down on the ground before standing back. He quickly turned to a wall,as he started to beat it with his fists it made small cracks in it.Before causing a huge chunk to fly out of the wall.As he yelled with all his might shoving things off old counters. He turned kicking a huge rock through the roof,sending it into orbit. Finally he turned back to Chloe's lifeless body picking her up. His mourning was over,now all he could think about was justice. One last tear fell down his cheek,anger showing through his face,as he carried Chloe. "I'll find out who did this to you Chloe... I promise !" he said to himself. |

Chapter 2 After Clark turned over Chloe's body to ahorities he headed toward Lex's mansion. He needed to talk to his friend to get the pain he was feeling off his chest. When Clark walked into his office Lex greeted Clark with a smile.But soon dropped his smile,seeing Clark's sad expression. "Clark...what's wrong why the long face." said Lex. "Chloe..she's been murdered she's was stolen from me. When I attended Peter and Mary Jane's wedding.I asked her to marry me and she said yes. Now someone has killed her and I want to find out who did it." Clark said. Lex gave Clark a strong hug and looked into his old friend's eyes. "Clark, I swear to you as my friend,i'll do anything I can to help you find the man responsible." said Lex. "Thank you Lex that means alot i've got to get back and tell my parents what happened." Clark said. After Clark left Lex dialed his cell phone "hello Robert, I need all the video feed,from the Smallville airport within the next half hour." Lex said before hanging up. When Clark told his parents the news Martha held onto Jonathan crying. When Martha was done Jonathan turned to his depressed son. Who looked both sad,and angry,at the same time. He placed his hand on Clark's shoulder. "Son, i'm sorry that you lost Chloe,I know how much she meant to you." he said. "Dad why would someone do this to me.It's not fair I wanted to have a life with Chloe." said Clark. "Son thats the hard part about this world.We don't know why people commit crimes like murder.But trust me when I tell you that justice will be served." Jonathan said hugging Clark. A few days later a funeral service was held Peter and MJ attended it. After the service Peter and MJ walked up to Clark. Who looked as if he we're lost "Clark,we came as soon as we heard. We are so sorry for what happened to Chloe." MJ said. Clark looked down at Chloe's tombstone "Chloe's killer is going to pay with my own two hands. I'll get him for what he did to Chloe if it's the last thing I do." Clark said. "Clark killing the guy who murdered Chloe,won't bring Chloe back.Doing that won't change anything Clark be resonable." Peter said. "I don't care Chloe meant the world to me,she made me feel human.And the killer took her away from me,for that I can never forgive him." Clark said. Peter realized that his friend was in too much pain to listen to reason. Peter turned laying a white rose next to Chloe's tombstone. " All I can say is when the time comes.I hope you make the right choice...come on MJ lets go." After the two leave Clark alone Lex calls Clark's cell phone. "What you found out who killed Chloe Lex who.... James Morris what's his location alright i'll be there in a minute." Clark said hanging up. When Clark arrived at the building James was at he kicked the door in,and James almost fell out of his chair seeing Clark. "H-How did you find me Clark" said James "How do you know my name..wait now I reconize you you're the Kingpin's pawn I should have known." Clark said slowing walking toward James. "Stay away from me you freak" he said backing away from Clark afraid. Just as Clark was about to move in on James to attack he stopped. "He suddenly realized what Peter was talking about earlier. And knew that killing him would only make things worse for him.And would go against everything he stood for. "I'm turning you over to the police for the murder of Chloe Sullivan." said Clark. "Heh thats what you think Clark i'm not going to jail." said James as he pulled out a gun. Just as Clark was about to take the gun away from James,a bullet struck James going through his head. "That's what you get for messing with Clark and Chloe." Lex said under the hood of his mask. Clark frowned as he heard Lex's voice from atop a nearby building.He couldn't believe what his friend had just done. Clark walked outside of the building,and supersped away from the scene,without Lex seeing him. Later that day he met up with Peter and MJ at their hotel room. "Peter I want you to know i'm sorry for what I said at Chloe funeral. After you left Lex called me and said it was James,when I went to face him.And right when I was about to attack him I stooped,and remembered what you said. But before I could have him sent to the police someone shot him from the rooftop..it was Lex." Clark said. "What your friend killed James can't you report him to the police." Peter said. "Yeah but I would be exposing my secret. Lex doesn't know that I could hear him,he doesn't know my secret.If I went to the cops then Lex might realize that i'm not human." Clark said. "Well i'm sure that when to police find the body that questions will surface.Don't worry i'm not mad at you Clark,and i'm glad you didn't kill him." Peter said. |

Chapter 3 When James' dead body was found Lex had planeted the evidence.On a imfamous criminal Jared Smith,so Smallville P.D. wouldn't trace James back to him. Clark wanted to reveal the truth to police about the reason reason James died. But he was too afraid what if they thought he was in on the murder. Or if Lex suspected that Clark wasn't human it would bring up.Too many questions and worse of all he had no physical evidence to hand over. Clark couldn't just walk into the police station,and tell them.That he heard Lex from the rooftop say he killed James for his friend's loss. It killed Clark inside that Lex was getting away with murder.And the fact that he couldn't save Chloe hurt him even more inside. Four Years Later Clark had graduated from college and had recently been hired at the Daily Planet. Perry had kept his word on his favor to Clark years ago. In Smallville Clark stopped by Chloe's grave he was wearing a blue button down dress shirt.With a red tie,black dress pants and a coat. Clark placed a red rose infront of her tombstone and cleared his throat. "Good news Chloe, i'm working for the Daily Planet now.One of the biggest newspaper companies in the world. I remember back when we were at Smallville High you would always say. That someday you hoped to work for the Daily Planet you talked about it so much.Like it was your destiny,and I always believed that you would." Clark felt a tear fall down his cheek,and wiped it away exhaling. "I just wish you were here with me,so we could be a team.Two reporters traveling the world discovering the truth. I just want you to know that i'm doing this for you.Whenever I write up an article i'll be doing it for you. You inspired me to become a reporter,and I thank you for that." When Clark arrived at the Daily Planet as he walked into the newsroom.He saw Mr. White signal him to his office. "Kent i'd like to introduce you to Lois Lane she's one of our best reporters.Lois I want you to show Kent here around the newsroom.Get him up to speed on how we work around here." When Clark saw Lois he was stunned by Lois' beauty. There was only one woman before who could stop him in his tracks.And that was Chloe "Nice to meet you Lois." Clark shook her hand as he gave her a smile. He felt a bit guilty because of how he was feeling right now. It was like he was falling in love with Lois at that very moment. "Like wise Kent lets show you what we do around here." Lois took Clark into the newsroom giving him a tour. Afterwards a photographer in his late teens walked up to Lois. "Lois ask you for a favor..." "Jimmy ,i'm busy right now what is it." Jimmy saw Clark and turn to him "Oh you must be new here,i'm Jimmy Olsen a photographer here." he said offering his hand. "Clark Kent i'm a new reporter here nice to meet you." Clark said shaking his hand. Jimmy turned back to Lois "It's about your sister Lucy,you wouldn't happen to know.If she's still single would you ?" Lois rolled her eyes and exhaled "Jimmy if you want to ask Lucy out on a date.Just give her a call and ask her,i'm a reporter not cupid." |

A/N: I decided to make this fic a 2 parter story. Chapter 4 Just as Clark was about to say something to Jimmy.Mr. White stepped out of his office looking to Lois and Clark. "Lois,Kent I need you in my office now." Perry barked. "Coming Chief" Lois said "Come on Clark we don't want to keep Perry waiting." When they stepped inside Perry's office Clark, closed the door after Lois stepped inside. "You wanted to see us Perry." Lois said standing next to Clark. "Now I know this might sound crazy,and that your editor's gone off the deep end.But I just got off the phone with a scientist who's arriving in town tommrow. Aparently he claims he's invented time travel...Lois don't laugh." Perry said noticing she was cracking a smile. "Thats why I want both of you to check this out tommrow.And see if he's for real,if it is we might have.The biggest story of the century the Planet's ever seen." "Sure Mr. White we'll go check it out what's the man's name." Clark said. "His name is Michael Bristow,his plane lands at the Metropolis airport.Tommrow at 2 pm i've already talked to him.And agreed to give the Daily Planet an interview.So I figured this would be a good chance.For Clark to have his first big story,with one of my best reporters." Lois looked to Clark and then back to Perry "What me team up with Clark Perry..". "Is there a problem Lois ?" the editor said with a stern look. "No no problem at all Chief." Lois said shutting up. Clark tried his best to hid his laugher,at Lois' discomfort. Lois noticed Clark's expression and shot him a look,when Perry wasn't looking. When they exited into the news room Lois turned her head to Clark "I know what you were doing farm boy.You must think your pretty funny don't yah." Clark threw his hands up "Hey I didn't say anything Lois ,so do you buy this whole idea of time travel ?" Clark said glancing to Lois. "Honestly I think Perry's read H.G. Well's Time Machine,one too many times." "LOIS I HEARD THAT" Perry yelled from his office "I was just kidding Chief" Lois said as Clark snickered "Now that I found funny." Clark said,as Lois rolled her eye before socking him in the arm. "So what do we do now" Clark said rubbing his hands together. " "We" aren't doing anything i've got an interview with the mayor in ten minutes." Lois said walking off. Clark jogged up next her walking by her side as they exited the newsroom. "What happened to us being partners like Perry said." Lois scoffed "We won't be partners until tommrow which i'm sure will be a one time thing." "You'd be surprised Lois i've been know to be very charming." After Clark and Lois exited the Daily Planet a mugger came around the corner.Holding a gun in his hand,pointing it at the duo. "No sudden moves or I will use this." Clark stepped forward and the mugger turned to him. "Stay right there four eyes don't try to be a hero !" He put his arms up to the armed man "Look sir we aren't looking for trouble" The man went for Lois' bag,and Lois tugged back "Hey thats my mother's bag let go" Lois protested. Suddenly the gun goes off,and Clark notices the bullet heading for Lois.He gets infront of Lois,and pretends to faint,catching the bullet. Then the mugger panics and runs away,as Lois puts her bag strap back on her shoulder. She looks down to Clark "Clark are you alright" He opens his eyes looking to the female reporter,"Yeah I just fainted for a moment." She shook her head "Well you might have charm,but you sure aren't brave." "Well i'd love to stick around but i've got that interview to do,with the mayor.Don't worry i'll be fine this isn't the first guy who tried to mug me." Once Lois disappeared around the corner Clark threw the bullet away,in the trash can.And headed to his apartment he closed the door locking it,and entered his bedroom. He hung his coat up in his closet,and turned around seeing the photograph.Of Chloe he had next to his bed,he sighed walking over picking it up. Everytime he saw her face,it broke his heart inside then he thought of the scientist who would be in town tommrow. He wondered if this man actually invented a time machine,and if so maybe he could save Chloe. |

Chapter 5 The next day Clark and Lois went to see the scientist in town. The man was in his late 50's and went by the name Bryan Chase. The two reporters stopped by a building that was,half an hour away from the Planet.When they walked up the steps Lois looked over to Clark. "Now listen Kent this is your first,big story.So watch and learn,from one of the Planet's finest reporters." she said Clark laughed a little at Lois' boasting "This isn't my first time,being a journalist.I'm sure I can remember,how to interview someone." Clark said reaching the top steps walking inside after Lois. The two walked over to the reception desk "Hi were from the Daily Planet,were here to see Dr. Bryan Chase." Lois said to the other woman. The woman was dressed in professional business wear.Her dark hair pulled back into a ponytail She pressed a button at her desk buzzing Mr. Chase. "Mr. Chase two reporters,from the Daily Planet are here to see you." "Send them right up Ms. Vaughn,i've been expecting them." said Mr. Chase. Ms. Vaughn smiles to the two reporters. "You can find him in room 312,on the third floor." Clark fixed his glasses smiling to her "thank you ma'am." When they reached the room,they knocked on the door marked 312.When it opened up they were greeted by Chase. After stepping inside they saw a device infront of them. "Is this your time machine Mr. Chase" Clark asked. "Yes Mr. Kent it took me ten years,but I finally did it. Lois rolled her eyes "I don't mean to sound rude.But how do we even know,if it works.For all we know,it could be fake where's the proof ?" Clark turned to Lois "Lois show the man some respect,he's a scientist" The scientist chuckled "It's alright Mr. Kent I expected,one of you.Might suspect if I did in fact,create time travel.Thats why I brought it with me,to give a test." he said. When Clark heard 'test' his thought immediately thought of Chloe.His expression became slightly serious. "Mr. Chase would you mind,if I took part in this test ?" The elder man looked up pondering for a moment. "I don't see why not,where you would like to go. My time machine can take you anywhere,at anytime past,present,or future." Clark exhaled looked to Mr. Chase "I'd like to visit Smallville at 2:15 pm on June 8, 2006." Mr. Chase walked up to Clark,putting a device around his arm.Before turning on his machine,creating a portal. "Mr. Kent when you are ready to return.Just press that blue button on your arm.And you'll return back to this place and time." Clark nodded and looked back to Lois "Wish me luck" he said with a smile. Lois smirked "If you don't make it back,can I have your pencil sharpener ?" she quiped. Clark ignored Lois' question as he walked through the bright light. Within seconds he was standing at the entrance of Smallville's welcome sign. He took off at Super Speed heading straight for Metropolis Airport.Fate was giving him a second chance,and he was determined.Not to lose Chloe this time no matter what. When he arrived at the airport he saw everyone moving in slow motion.He stopped inside the building.But stayed at a speed where everyone was still moving slowly. He glanced to his left seeing Chloe glance,down at her engagment ring.The smile on her face filled him with hope.Then a few feet away he saw James following them.His expression hardened,as anger swelled up inside him. This man had caused him many years of grief. Clark dashed off to the women's restroom,hiding in another stall. When James walked inside,he headed into a stall.Expecting to get Chloe alone,only to bump into Clark.Clark had his arms crossed glaring at James,a second later. Clark grabbed James taking off out of the airport with him.To the sky holding him by one arm. "I know what you were going to do James.And your plan won't work this time." Clark said looking straight ahead high above Metropolis. "What are you talking about ,how do you know my name ?" James said looking down in shock. "I know alot of things about you James. I know for instance you work for Wilson Fisk aka the Kingpin.And that the two of you,have hurt alot of people in the past.Today you'll pay for your crimes with hard time." Clark then tapped James on his head with his index finger.Knocking James out cold as they reached New York.In a split second Clark stopped by Fisk Tower,and within minutes.He left the building with James stopping by the NYP,dropping James off.At the front entrance,still flying at a fast speed. When James woke up he found police holding,a disc with the words: play me. Taped to the front of the cover. James cursed himself realizing what would happen next. Once Clark found a quick place to hide,he fixed his hair and glasses.Before pressing the blue button,that was located around his arm. Within seconds he was back inside the building with Mr. Chase. Only this time Lois wasn't there,instead a much older Chloe. Was standing infront of him in her place,he noticed a weding band.Around her finger he smiled happy to see her again. Glancing down he noticed his hand,had a wedding band as well. "Mr. Kent I assume you and Mrs Kent,are convinced now with my invention ?" he said taking off the object Clark had on before. "Yes Mr. Chase we are,I look forward to our interview with you." Clark said with a smile. The End |
