The next day at school I found Whitney at his locker and slammed it in his face with a very unhappy mood. I wanted answered and I was gonna get them and give them.

"You attacked Kyle." I state and he huffs shoving book into his bag

"That's what your brother tell you?" he questioned

"He didn't need to. I knew you were gonna do something stupid the moment you went and talked to Bob Rickman the worst snake in the world." I retort

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about how one minute that snake is asking you about Kyle and the next you're shoving me away and speeding off in your truck to go pick a fight with a hermit. I know you started that fight. So what gives." he stared at me

"I don't remember any of that. All I remember is feeling that he was gonna hurt one of you again and I got pissed so I went to talk with him, he came at me with a bat." he told me and I sighed

"Whitney, I went to the trailer. The bat end that I saw, it matched the one I've seen in your truck. I know it could mean anything but what are the odds?" he was struggling to process it "I don't know what happened but i'm gonna figure it out."

--------

Clark and i came home to arguing between Mom and Dad. Mom seemed in a right stated as we came through the door.

"What's going on?" I question wrapping a rom around Mom's shoulder in attempt to comfort her.

"Your father sold the farm to Bob Rickman." Mom exclaimed and we both turned to Dad

"What?" he question deadpan. "How?"

"I don't know. One minute I'm telling him he doesn't stand a chance. The next minute, I got a signed contract in my hand." we galled over his shoulder seeing him holding said contract.

"I called our lawyer. He said he can't do anything until he sees the contract but the devil made me do it wouldn't hold up in court." Mom retorted as I started making connections

"Clark, go get my medical kit." I tell him sitting down he looked confused "Just do it." eh ran up stairs

"Dad turn and look at me."

"I'm fine."

"Will everyone stop arguing with me today. i'm not doing this for kicks, turn and face me." he did as I asked and Clark came back with the kit. I took out the small torch. "Tell me what Rickman did." I requested as I shone the light in and out of his eyes.

"Nothing, he made his case shook my hand and that's it." he answered

"It can't be that easy." Clark sighed

"How else do you explain my signature." I put the torch down and stared at him "When you've quite finished.

"Your pupils aren't dilating normally, Dad. I saw the same thing with Whitney and both of you have had run ins with Bob Rickman." I turn to Clark and take the contract "I think your bestie needs to see this, maybe he can help..for once." Clark took it from me

"No. I will not owe Lex Luthor anything, thank you."

"Right now you don't have anything to owe." Mom rebuffed. Clark left and I got my phone out "What are you doing?"

"Double checking on Whitney. I know i'm right and Bob Rickman being at the centre of two people I care about doing something they wouldn't." I sent him a text asking to come over "I will say the same thing I said to him. I'm gonna figure this out." I ran upstairs and got some slide coming back down.

"I need blood, give me your finger." i took Dads hand and pricked it with a pin.

"Aren't you going overboard?"

"No." I squeezed a drop of blood out onto the slide. "He did something and I'm not dropping it till I find out what.

Whitney came out a hour later and I did the same check on him that I did with my Dad and took a sample of blood. . I put Whitneys under the microscope

"So what's with Dr Jekyll on this thing." he wondered

"I would explain but I'd only be repeating myself. Huh unusual, that's weird." I mumble the last part.

"What is?" I didn't answer and swap slides with my Dads seeing the same thing. Microscope was one thing super alien vision saved a lit of time and hospital work. "Mia, what is it."

"Bye Whitney." I mumble

---------

I was on my own trail and this trail made me see red. This man had managed to hurt two people i care about and something about them was weird. I had the science to prove it, but i needed something from the source of the problem. Which is why I hid in Rickman offices and when said coacroach came in I snuck up behind him and shoved his head into a wall, knocking him out.

"Yeah, I woke up and chose violence." I took out a needle that I procured form the hospital and drew his blood before leaving him there, to walk up with a headache.

-------

I headed home and examined the sample. That when I found it, there were specks of green un his bloodwork. Son of a bitch was meteor infected. I ran downstairs and past Mom and Dad

"Mia where are you going?" Dad asked

"To find, Rickman and Kick his ass. He's meteor infected whatever his ability is it messed with you and Whitney." I called back then sped off. I checked his office first but there was nothing. Then I checked the local places, still nothing. Until my phone rang.

"Hello." I answered

"Mia, it's me" Clark replied "Rickman and Kyle were effected by the meteor."

"I know about Rickman. I'm trying to find him now. Where are you?" I questioned and he told me about the gas station and that Lex was also coming to help. I was gonna go as well. I took off running but when I got there i got the feeling I was behind on the action, there was a burn out car, and gunfire. Then there was Rickman.

"Gotcha." I sped over and smashed the window. He was holding a gun and went to fire when forcibly grabbed it and threw it away.

"We haven't officially met. I'm the girl you screwed over. Nice to meet you." I yanked the for opened and pulled him out onto the floor.

"No!" I felt a hand on my shoulder and i turned to Kyle "Go help your brother." he nodded over tot the garage.

"I've got this." I nodded and ran over and inside where Clark was with a passed out Lex.

"Mia." i dropped down next to Lex and checked him over "He should be fine, have no memory."

"Yeah but physically?" we heard a gunshot and clark ran out. I shook the bald man, but he didn't wake up. He had a pulse and from what I could see there were no major injuries.

----

I went to check on Whitney and My Dad and they effect Rickman had seemed to be scientifically out of their system. Returning home, Lana was leaving and Clark was watching her go.

"Mia, you've been to see Whitney.?" she wondered making me stop

"Yeah, he still had a bout of memory loss but other than that he's fine." I replied and went to move past her.

"He seems happier with you." I turned around to face her once more "It's strange."

"Strange that we're friends. Cause that doesn't sound harsh at all." I comment and she sakes her head in denial

"No, its strange how the two of you are with each other. Like his world seems brighter with you in it, or that he since school started he constantly gravitates towards you." i laugh

"Are you sure you don't need a medical exam? Goodbye, Lana." I head inside and tidy up everything after the past few days.
