Super Beginnings

Chapter Sixty Three - Well that happened

It was one of the last times That I could take the horses out for a ride , soon someone else would have to do it as I progressed further in my pregnancy. So I invited Whitney to come out with me. A way to try and clear his head and get him out of the house for something other than school. The two of us rode across the fields and for a good half hour before beginning to slow down.

"Are you absolutely sure you should be riding?" Whitney asked for the fifth time. I didn't mind, I knew that with the sudden death of his father he would become more protective than before.

"As long as I'm safe and I'm not reckless, I can ride up to twelve weeks. Since that fast approaching , this is the last time for a long while Aristole and Athena will ride with me. It will most likely be Clark, when they're not working. Besides I thought it would be nice, to keep your mind off...." I trailed off

"It's okay you can say it. I'm not gonna break." He replied and i gave him a guilty smile "Sorry, I've just been kind of out of it lately."

"I wouldn't have said that. You've been extra attentive." I took his hand

"Theres something I wanted to ask you." I nodded "Would you be my dater to the Spring Formal?" he asked and I stated chuckling

"Of course. You didn't have to ask."

"Well, I'm not taking anything for granted. Not with either of you." there was an explosion and it spooked Aristole

"Whoa easy boy." I held on as he jumped at the noise almost throwing me off. Then landed back on all four hooves. "Easy." I clicked my tongue and we rode over to where the smoke was coming from. We dismounted on the edge of the land and hooked the reigns onto the post. Whitney took my hand as we made the last bit on foot. There were work men fro Kansas state water and Power. Just as we got there the sheriff arrived. We watched as the workers run about trying to control the situation. I saw one of the pipes shaking

"Whitney!" I pointed to it

"Hey!" he tried to get their attention. I yelled at them as well but they couldn't hear us. I tried to use my speed maybe get them out of the line of fire but nothing happened. My power just didn't work. "Mia, get out of here. Run!" he left me

"Whitney, don't! Don't!" He ran to wards the workers and then saw what was happening, He tried to run back but they didn't stop him. "Mia! Run!" I ran human speed as there was another explosion. I was sent flying and landed with a hard thud. My vision became blurred and my ears rang.

"Mia! Mia!" Whitney's muffled voice registered as I managed to turn myself onto my back. "Get an ambulance, now She's pregnant!"

-3rd Person-

Clark, Martha and Jonathan rushed through the halls to get to Mia. They screeched to a halt seeing her lying in a hospital bed wired up to monitors.

"Whitney? What happened?" Martha asked taking her daughter side and across from Whitney.

"The gas explosion, the first one went off while we were riding, we went to see what was going on, when we got there Mia noticed that there was another pipe that was gonna blow. I told her to run while I warned them. She did but she was caught in the blast." he explained holding onto his girlfriends hand.

"Is the baby okay?" Clark asked

"Yes, they doctors called it a miracle that both of them survived the trauma. But they're not questioning it. They are gonna monitor both of them for the night. She has minor burns and the've given something to help her sleep." Jonathan pulled up another chair.

"How are you holding up?" Jonathan wondered

"Kind of hoped I'd seen my last hospital room in a while." Whitney answered and Chloe arrived. Clark went outside to talk to her while Martha and Jonathan stayed. after a couple of minutes Clark came back

"Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" Clark asked Whitney

"Sure." Whitney got up and kissed Mia's head before leaving with Clark, moments after they did, Mia's eyes snapped open and she began hyperventilating.

"Mia?" Martha asked "Mia?" she didn't answer again, she couldn't here them as she saw Chloe leave the hospital and made her way to her car. Then coming out from hiding there was a hand that put cloth over her friends face. Chloe struggled before becoming unconscious.

"Chloe!" she shouted bolting up "Chloe!" still in a state she fast against the wires that were keeping an eye on her and the baby.

"Help! A little help!" Jonathan called. Doctor and nurses came rushing in to help the distressed teen .

-Mia-

I woke up groggily and scared the nightmare was still in my head. I needed to see Chloe, now. Whitney, was next to me asleep and I was wired up to monitors attached to my chest and stomach.

"Whitney! Whitney!" I woke him up and started pulling everything off

"Mia, what are you doing? The Doctors...." I got out of bed looking around for my clothes

"Can kiss my ass. I'm fine, the baby's fine, they take after their mother. I need to find Chloe." I found a bag in the room wardrobe, huh, I'm guessing Mom brought it.

"They still wanna check on you." i headed into the bathroom and closed the door changing out of the hospital robes and into a fresh set of clothes then came back out. "What time is it?"

"Around nine, why? Mia." i headed to the nurses station "Mia stop." he forcibly took my arms and turned me around

"You've just been caught in a blast, the doctors need to make sure you and the baby are okay." he insisted

"We're fine, nothing happened all night. Now you can come with me or not but i'm going to find Chloe." I discharged myself and Whitney took me to the school and followed me to the Torch offices. Clark was in there

"Mia, what are you doing here?" Clark questioned as I looked around

"I tried to stop her but she was doing this with or without me." Whitney defended himself

"You'll both get over it. I have minor burns and concussion, the baby's chilling in it nice warm place. now where's Chloe?" I brushed them of and questioned

"She's not here. She in Metropolis till tonight. What's going on?" I put a hand to my head, that didn't sound right.

"I had this nightmare, Chloe was coming out of the hospital, she walked to her car and she was attacked. Have you spoken to her?"

"No, you know Chloe she's probably to busy trying to convince the Planet they're insane to run it without her. You've had a rough night, mom and Dad told me they had to give you a different sedative just to calm you down." I look between the two

"I know I sound crazy. I probably am, it is probably just to a reaction form the blast but i can't settle till I know she's okay. Clark you have to help me. Please." He seemed apprehensive "Did she have her red handbag with the butterflies? The one I bought her for her birthday?" I question

"Yeah she did. Do you want me to call her Dad." I gave a teary nod "Okay, I will but let Whitney take you home okay. Get some more sleep. Take care of the two of you." Whitney put his arm around me and guided me out. He took my back to my worried parents and i went upstairs to bed, Where I slept soundly for a while.
