Part 8

Chloe sat on the couch in her apartment not knowing quite what to do.. She wanted nothing more then to hurt everyone. She had never been this angry before. It was all Clark's fault. He was the one responsible for Davis’ death.

“You’re just pissed because I chose someone besides you for once.”

Chloe hadn’t meant to say that to her friend but it needed to be said. It was soon after that that Clark had punched Davis. He had thrown the first punch. Davis had tried to keep his Beast at bay while Clark had acted like a spoiled little boy and now Davis was dead.

Chloe wanted nothing more to do with Clark Kent, the Red-Blue Blur or Metropolis.

Maybe Oliver was right. Maybe she had become one of the bad guys. She was sick of being one of the good guys, being the side kick. Where had that ever gotten her? Maybe it was time to go out on her own. To find her own destiny.

To chose her own side.

---------------------------------------------------------

Clark walked into Oliver’s office and sat down in the chair on the opposite side of Oliver’s, “I’m leaving town. I thought you should know.”

“For how long?”

“I’m not coming back,”

Oliver was confused. He knew that Clark would take the death of Davis Bloome hard. Clark had a way of taking everything as a personal insult. He had a way of blaming himself for things that he had no control over. The death of Davis Bloome was a tragedy but it wasn’t Clark’s fault. There was enough blame to go around. “What are you talking about?”

“Being in the Phantom Zone, fighting the Beast made me realize that I’ve always assumed that it was my Kryptonian side that was weak. I was wrong, it’s my human side that is weak.”

“Clark.” Oliver got up and walked around his desk but saw that Clark had gotten up as well, “I can’t do this anymore, Oliver. I can’t be two people anymore. I can’t pretend I’m normal because I’m not. I'm not human, it time I stopped pretending I was. Clark Kent is dead." Clark paused as he turned to walk out the door, “I just thought you should know.”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lois opened her eyes to the feeling of grass under her. It took her a moment to realize she wasn’t on the Luthor Jet anymore. She was outside now. The sun was shining. She heard birds in the air and something else she couldn’t place. She got onto her knees and saw what appeared to be the bottom of a statue.

---------------------

Jimmy paused before he entered Chloe’s flat. He had spoken to Oliver who had told him that Davis was dead and that Chloe needed someone to lean on. No matter what the two of them had been through, Jimmy still had feelings for his ex-wife and he would be there for her if she needed him. He hoped that they could get back together again with time. He had bought them a place to live as a wedding present and even when his drug addiction had gotten bad he couldn’t bring himself to sell it. Now maybe they could start over.

He wished he had known about how deep Chloe had gotten sooner, but he had gone back home because of his drug problem. He had spent most of the time talking to his younger brother, They shared the same name or at least used the same name. Jimmy had always hated the name Henry so he used his middle name. His parents had named him Henry James and his younger brother James Henry. They both called themselves Jimmy. It was confusing but they both got a laugh out of it from time to time. The only people who called him Henry were his parents. Even Jimmy called him Jimmy.

Jimmy awkwardly walked into the flat. He still had a key but wasn’t sure how his intrusion would be received so he tried to be as quite as he could but he saw no sign of Chloe. There was nothing. The flat had been emptied. There was nothing left.

She didn’t even leave a note.

-------------------------------------------------

Clark paused and put on a pair of dark sunglasses as he stepped onto a train. It was heading out of Metropolis. He didn’t care where it was going but he needed to get away, at least for awhile. He knew there were faster ways to travel but he didn’t want to be found at least for now.

---------------------------------------------------

Tess walked down a dimly lit hallway towards two guards who were standing near a door. They both stood at attention when she got there. Tess ignored them but instead opened a small crack in the door and saw a young man sleeping in a bed. She watched him for a moment until he turned over and she saw his face.

It was Clark Kent.

--------------------------------------------------

As Lois got to her feet she looked up at the statue. Which bore a striking resemblance to Clark Kent and Tess Mercer. She looked down at the plaque which read:

Emperor Kal-El and His Wife Tess Mercer-El

“No Way.” That’s when she noticed she wasn’t anywhere she recognized. Everything was different. The world really had turned upside down. “Well Lois, you sure not in Kansas anymore.”

-------------------------------

Tess turned to one her people who suddenly appeared behind her, “And the other Clark Kent, have you found him yet?”

“Yes Ms Mercer.” The aid said simply, “He just got on a train headed for Star City. Do you want us to intercept it?”

Tess paused, “No. Not yet.” Tess smiled, “Everything is going according to plan.”

-------------------------------

Clark smiled as a young woman sat down next to him on the train and began talking to him. It was small talk but he was enjoying it. After a few moments the young woman blushed, “I’m sorry if I’m interrupting.”

“No, you’re not.”

“My name is Barbra Gordon, and I usually don’t talk to people on trains.”

“That’s alright.” He held out his hand and when Barbra took it he smiled seductively, “You can call me Kal.”

----------------------------------------

Tess closed the opening on the door and headed back through the hallway followed by her aid. As she walked she couldn’t help but smile.

THE END

A/N: I know it looks like I am going to continue the story but I’m not. This is where it ends. Consider this the season finale as I would have written it. Lois in the future. Clark split in half. Chloe missing. I even included the whole Henry/Jimmy thing but I would have dealt with that next season and in a more heroic less lightswitchy way. Oh and one more thing, I always kinda wanted Davis to die, it’s what made the storyline interesting the fact that he had to die. The fact that he was going to die made it worth watching. It made it tragic and beautiful. The show screwed up the death but I hope I fixed it a bit. Well all that for a THE END.

On PS Thanks for the feedback.
