Getting rid of phantom

Clark moved around the house.
"Ok please stay in the house. I need to get rid of this phantom before anything else goes wrong."
"What more could go wrong? There is a carbon copy of you that doesnt have the same weaknesses "
"That's not helping Kat."
"Sorry. But what more can you do? I am guessing you have no idea how to destroy it?"
"I may be able to help with that. I cant do what you have to but I can help."
They both turned to see Clark's friend come up by them.
"How do I destroy something that has all of my powers and none of my weaknesses."
"By using what you take for granted every day. You dont just get your strength from the humans but.."
"The yellow sun. That is why is face distorted when he went into the light."
"But this is a fight you must do on your own."
Katherine stood back knowing that even she couldn't help him.
"Try not to die."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome." She said kissing him. He looked and then took off . Katherine looked and then decided she would just sit down on the couch there in the barn, walking inside would be a bad idea. She tried to keep her eyes open but finally relaxed and dozed off to sleep.
  He came into the barn, he knew where the meteor rock was kept and needed it. As he walked up the stairs he saw her sleeping.
"How could he leave you alone?"  He moved the hair from her face and she didnt stir. He grabbed the stone and dealt with his most pressing issue and then turned back to her. He could see she had been injured during the encounter earlier.
"He doesn't deserve you." He said to her. He leaned down and lifted her and took her inside.
"When I take his life I will treat you better." He said covering her and leaving.

Clark arrived back at the farm later and headed for the barn thinking that was where she was. He noticed she wasn't, he wondered if she made her way inside. He moved into the house and saw she was asleep on the couch and from the way she was laying she didnt put herself there. If he hadn't gotten rid of the phantom he has no idea what he would have done to her. Katherine opened her eyes and smiled.
"Hey. You look worried what's wrong and did you bring me in the house?"
"Uh no. I found you in here."
"What?"
"The phantom must have come to the farm knowing we had a meteor rock here and saw you asleep on the couch in the barn. I have no idea why he would have brought you in here."
"Clark you said he was your exact double. He had all your memories.  Right?"
"Yeah. Then his feelings for me would be the same as yours."
"But he was the reason you got hurt."
"Maybe he didnt realize our relationship at the time. But he knew it after."
"At least he didn't hurt you."
"There's that. But your double is gone now right?"
"Right my friend took him off planet. Hes gone."
"Good because one of you is more than I need."
"I love you. And I hope that if something had ever happened you would know the difference."
"I would. You mean everything to me and I won't ever not know the difference. I love you."
"I love you too."

Katherine wondered if Clark would forgive himself had anything worse had happened to her. She looked at him while he listened to the radio, the sadness in his eyes told her. He may love her but he still loved Lana and always would.
"I'm sorry."
"She was a good friend."
"And someone you loved once."
"Yeah but that is in the past. Never doubt my feelings for you. Please I cant bare to loose you."
"I'm not going anywhere. Clark please understand that I will never go anywhere if there is anything to stop it I will always be by your side." Katherine told him. Clark smiled, he knew she would which in it's own way scared him because she would out her own life on the line to protect him he knew she would. He couldn't bare having her give up her life for his.
