I woke up in the ambulance and next to me was my very worried brother. i tried to sit up but cried out in pain. Clark leant forward

"Don't move, you've got a couple of broken ribs" he told me taking my hand

"No, shit. Argh it hurts." I rest a hand where it hurt "The asshole threw me onto a car!" I growl

"I know, i got there just as he did. Mom and Dad are gonna meet us at the hospital. You're gonna be okay?" he tried to assure me

"Is Whitney okay? Did Eric go after him?" I groaned out

"No, he ran off after you hit the car. Just relax okay, we're almost there." I let out of breath as I was officially rushed into hospital where I went through a series of tests. Mom and Dad met us there and Clark explained to them what he had come out to. I sat in a room with Mom and a doctor as yet again I was being bandaged up.

"Just a little higher." The doctor requested as I lift my arm up wincing

"You okay, sweetheart?"

"No, it hurts like hell. How much longer is it gonna hurt for?" I close my eyes shut as the bang was being wrapped around.

"You'll be fine in a couple of weeks." i was assured and my eyes opened

"A couple of weeks?" I exclaim and wince again as she finished up. At this point I wanted to slap myself in the head. Of course it would, I had read the times of healing due to injuries.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

"Oh sweetheart." Mom hugged me and I helped

"Easy on the ribs." Clark and Dad came in as Mom helped me put my t-shirt back on.

"How she doing?" Dad asked

"We did an x-ray of her body and head. she had a broken rib but her head's fine. You're okay to take her home, plenty of rest and I want to see her back here in a week."

"Thanks doc." The doctor left

"Clark why don't you take care of your sister and we'll take care of the paperwork." Clark nodded and the two of them went to sort that out. Clark helped me with my coat.

"Is it weird that even though they're not apart of me anymore I still think of them as my powers. I feel respobile for them and it sucks they were used against me?" I staggered out into the hall way

"No, I'd probably feel the same. I just wish there was something i could do. if i had gotten there faster, you wouldn't have gotten thrown onto the car." he sighed "I'm sorry."

"For once, it's not your fault. And hey, at least we're not fighting or at each others throats." I chucked but winced again.

"Mia, Clark. I came as soon as i heard." Lex breathed

"To what make sure one of us could actually get hurt?" i retorted "Clark told me you were making ridiculous theories again."

"Awesome. Hey maybe you wanna retest your theory and almost kill my brother again with your car. Clark is just splitting at the seems to feel my pain." i saw Whiney waiting " You talk with him, his presence is beginning to irritate me." I wave Clark off and make my way over to Whitney.

"Mia, you're okay." he breathed out in relief "When I saw what he did..." He shook his head

"I'm okay, or I will be once I heal from the thousand different injuries I got over the past few days." I smile a little

"I can't lose you too." I rest my hand on his cheek and he held not there. He closed his eyes for a moment then opened them. Then everything seemed to slow down. He leant in closer and his lips met mine. My eyes fluttered close as i kissed back.

I was back on bed rest, this was very human given the circumstances. Dad leaned against my door frame as Clark was sat at my side writing down what I told him due to my sprained wrist. We both looked over towards him.

"I stopped by to see Erics parents this morning," he told us

"How are they?" I wondered

"They're scared, Mia." I sighed and nodded it was understandable given what had gone on since the lightning strike Eric had done a full 360.

"Were you or are you scared of us?"

"Well the two of you threw your temper tantrums when you were little. Some of the time you still do, Mia. We even had some holes in the walls but, no. You are good kids, you two." he answered coming to sit beside me.

"I don't think Eric's a bad kid." Clark voiced

" No just a dick, given who and how his Dad is.Somethig was gonna give, it just so happened that he has my powers when he snaps." I replied

"He's just a teenager, who's in way over his head, that's all."

"Since losing my powers its been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I had my first kiss, I can be around Lana without wanting to constantly wanting to rip her head off because of that damn necklace. I'm even beginning to think this is better than being round meteor rocks." I admit. Mom then came in more worried than she had been

"Something happened at Eric's house.The police came but couldn't control him." Mom told us. I moved the covers back

"We need to stop him." I groaned "Clark a little help."

"Mia, you're injured. Let me handle this, if you try to go at him again he could kill you." Clark warned

"Help me get out of the damn bed. They're my powers he's using and that mistreated shit head is not going to hurt anyone else. besides i've thought about while getting an x-ray. He has my strength. Maybe he's prone to the same weakness as well." he helped me up

"The mentor rocks?" Mom questioned

"Powers or not, only we can stop him. I'll be damned if they're used in the hands of an angry teen. Clark I need you to do me a favour." I glanced at him

Clark went to get the necklace from Lana and then took us to the Summer house where it looked like Eric had gone to town. I went over to Mr and Mrs Summers

"Mia what are you doing here?" Mr Summers asked

Believe it or not. We were worried about Eric." I answered 

"Well, it's a police problem now. Damn kid's out of control. Look what he's done to the house." mr summers glanced back

"And who's fault is that?" I retired "You're a decent teacher but a shitty Dad. No wonder the first thing Eric does is lash out because you emotionally abuse him. Everything Erics done that i've seen since the lightning strike is a reaction to aggression. That included throwing me into the car. I don't blame Eric. I blame you. So I'm gonna ask this once and you better give me a straight answer. Do you know where he went?" I rant and Mr Summers was shocked 

"He talked about getting rid of it." Mrs Summer voiced "Said there was only one place he could do that, whatever that means."

"Thank you Mrs Summers." I nod to her "Word of advice divorce him, you'll be much happier. Come on Clark." I pulled my brother away knowing where he would be.
