Work was work and after school and work I was ready to just do nothing. But that wasn't going to happen, because i had another tutoring session with Whitney and even that was interrupted. He was driving us to the farm after picking me up only for us to be stopped by guys in hazmat suits. After wriggling information out of them by demanding I needed to know since i was a resident the let us through and I went to find my parents.

Mom and Dad stood hollowly on one side of the fence, while on the other side our entire cow heard was dead. Literally flat out on the floor and not far from where we were there were more guys in hazmat suit. I saw Clark there with Chloe and i ran over to him, so i could get some answers

"What happened to the heard?" I questioned

"They found LuthorCorp waste, it poisoned them." he gave me the simple answer. i covered my mouth in shock. We heard a car approaching and we turned seeing it was a Luthorcorp vehicle. It came to a stop and Lex got out. I stared at him as he looked away and headed over to talk to my parents. That ended with my Dad storming away and Mom following after him.

"I guess class is canceled?" Whitney theorised

"No, lets' go. Theres nothing much we can do here but wait." We headed back to the truck and carried onto to the house. When we arrived we sat in the living room studying. At some point, Clark and Mom came back, but Dad hadn't returned yet. When Whitney left I headed up to my room to change. I then started on writing my assignment when there was a knock on the door, I glance up to see a guilty looking Chloe standing there

"Permission to enter?" she asked and I nodded, she came in and sat down "I wanted to apologise, I went too far and I didn't realise how it would effect you. You and Clark never seemed that bothered on the off chance you did talk about adoption and i mistook that for you knew everything and was fully accepting of your past. So I'm sorry."

"Okay."

"Can we start again. I wanna do this report right and as a student not a journalist?" I laugh a little and move my home work away.

"let's see if you can do it in 10 questions. I know you like a challenge." she shifted a little and took out a tape recorder.

"Okay challenge accepted. First Question, Out of all the occupations to chose why are you wanting to become a Doctor?" she questioned and I hummed

"There is a lot of my life that I've felt helpless and out of control. I made a friend once, when we were younger and I wasn't so guarded, turns out she had leukaemia. To help compensate for stuff that nobody not even myself could dictate, I spend time reading. At first to research what she had, then what could be done to help her. None of it helped her personally but it helped me. She past away when she was six. Medicine books became a coping mechanism for me and that grew into a want and now its a goal." I answered relaxing back a little

"I never knew."

"Chloe, we've only know each other for a couple of years, this happened before I met you. Serena impacted me a lot, she was one of the many reasons that i became guarded over the years. That and other stuff. Okay, next question." she nodded and asked me another nine carefully thought questions which I answered before she left me alone once more.

Someone had been screwing with Lex on a major scale and Clark had taken it upon himself to save him from it, as he saved Lex many times. It was now the leading theory that the ones who terrorised Lex, brought us and the farm into it because of our connection. That however didn't stop Clark from being friends with him, much to many's dismay.

Now we had gathered for the grand opening of the repurposed Talon. Whitney and I arrived arm in arm to the new cafe. We mingled together and separately before my brother showed up with a present for Lana. The renovations had a Egyptian themed and it looked good.

"So how did it go with Chloe?" Whitney wondered

"She dropped her major investigation, apologised and got what she needed with much simpler and well thought 10 questions instead. Thanks for not blowing up on her." I replied

"I figured it wouldn't help you, guess you sorted it. I know how tense it made you feel." He kissed my head.
