Finding a way home

Katherine had talked to Oliver just a couple days before and knew he would give her an update if he had one. She walked out to the barn and knew that some of the chores needed to get done and they were not going to do themselves. She checked on the feed for the animals and knew that meant she would need to go to town to get some things but she had been avoiding going into town.
After getting a few things done outside the barn she headed inside. She stopped suddenly when she heard a voice, his voice. She dropped what she was holding and ran up the stairs to see him talking to his friend. His friend looked past Clark to look at a very surprised Katherine. Clark turned and looked into her almost tear filled violet eyes.
"Clark."
She ran into his arms. He held on to her.
"Where have you been?"
"A Russian work camp."
"How did you get back here. What happened?"
"Hey. One thing at a time. I am here now. We can put all of this into perspective later. I'm here now." Clark looked into her eyes.
"Ok. Thank you for bringing him home. And I'm sorry about your powers."
"You heard that?"
"I was standing downstairs before I scrambled up the stairs."
"I know Clark's destiny is greater than mine. And because of that I dont mind that I risk my powers."
"What happens now?"
"I make a new life.  I cant hold onto a life that is no longer here."
"Clark?"
"Not what I meant. I mean it's time we make a new life."
"We could do that." Katherine said touching his face.

Katherine stood in the kitchen making breakfast when Clark appeared downstairs.
"Well hello." She laughed as he wrapped his arms around her. He lifted her off the floor and spun her around.
"What." She laughed.
"I am just happy."
"So I noticed. You hungry?"
"Yeah. What are you making?" He asked setting her back down. He looked over her shoulder at the food she was preparing.
"Omlet." Katherine answered headed back to the stove.
"Let me help."
"Clark I can cook."
"And I like to help." Clark said looking for something to help with.
"Then make the table and I am almost done."
"Alright."
Katherine placed the two omelets on the plates and then moved to the table for the rest of what she had already put together.
They both looked up when Chloe knocked and entered the house.
"Hey you two."
"Hey you hungry?" Katherine asked.
"Thanks but no. Just juice would be great. What are you two doing today?"
"Nothing.  Clark has to go to town later. Why?"
"Thought maybe I could borrow your boy for a while."
"If you can pry him off my hip your welcome to use him."
"Really." Clark acted insulted. Katherine laughed and kissed his cheek.
"Go help Chloe. I am making homemade pizza for dinner tonight."
"Really?"
"Yes, Chloe why dont you bring Jimmy back with you and you can have dinner with us."
"Sure that would be nice. You done Clark?"
"Yeah. You need my help cleaning up?"
"Nope I got it. Go." Katherine stood and kissed him gathering the plates and heading to the sink with them.  She watched as Clark and Chloe left and quickly washed the dishes. Once she had finished the dishes she turned and made sure the kitchen was clean. A sharp pain sent her to her knees holding her head. She pulled her phone from her pocket and dialed Clark's phone.
"Kat?"
"Help me." Katherine said before passing out.
"Kat? Kat?" Clark called out into the phone.

Chloe turned and looked at her friend.
"What's wrong?"
"I have to get back to the farm. Meet me there." Clark jumped from the car and took off back to the farm.
Clark rushed into house to find Katherine laying unconscious on the floor.
Clark lifted her into his arms and headed out of the house as Chloe pulled in.
"What happened?"
"I don't know. I am going to take her to the hospital."
"Clark she's not normal anymore. Are you going to be able to handle if they want to test on her?"
"Chloe I have to do something, she said help me before passing out. She lay unconscious on the kitchen floor. There is something wrong."
"You running or am I driving?"
"Meet me there."
"You got it."
Clark took off with Katherine arriving at the hospital a short time later. Clark stood in the waiting room when Chloe arrived.
"Anything yet?"
"Not yet. They asked I wait out here. She was perfectly normal until Lex experimented on her. And the blood he injected in her was a combination of mine and the phantom. And all this stress."
"Clark, none of this was your fault. Katherine will be fine."
"Mr. Kent?"
"Yes doctor."
"Miss Bloodstone is awake. And rather confused. You might want to come help calm her down. So we don't have to sedate her."
"Right." Clark followed the doctor into the room.  Katherine looked at him she was confused and glowing.
"Kat, calm down. You passed out at the house I was afraid you had hit your head so I brought you in to be checked." He said taking her hand. Katherine looked at his hand and calmed down.
"Can we be alone?"
"Sure."
The doctor and nurse left the room as Chloe entered the room. Katherine looked at them both.
"Sorry."
"Why? Because you passed out or because you just scared the hell out of the doctor and a nurse?"
"Both."
"You have any idea why you passed out?"
"I had pain in my head and before I passed out I called you. That's the last thing I remember before waking up here."
"I'm going to let the nurse and doctor know that I am taking you home."
"Ok." Katherine lowered her eyes and felt as if she had done something wrong but she knew she didnt want to be there any longer.  Chloe walked up to her and put her hand on Katherine's arm.
"Are you sure your alright?"
"Yeah. I just want to go home."
Chloe moved her hand to Katherine's shoulder when Katherine's eyes rolled back and she passed out again.  She didnt want to scream for Clark because it would bring the doctor running. She stepped into the hall.
"Uh Clark can I borrow you for a moment."
"Sure." Clark walked into the room and looked at Katherine.
"What jappened?"
"I touched her shoulder and she passed out. We need to get her out of here before they figure out she's passed out again. Especially now that she's glowing." Chloe said pointing at Katherine. Clark looked at her and his eyes got wide and lifted Katherine into his arms.
"I'll meet you back at the farm." He said taking off.

It would be almost two days before Katherine would open her eyes again.
