Safe ( Smallville Fanfic)

Her fears

She had never been one to worry about her powers but with what happened just a few days before could she really trust her powers.
"Hey you."
"Going out on patrol?"
"Yeah thought I'd go early. Are you sure you will be alright here?"
"Clark I'll be fine. You always worry about me but as you've seen I can defend myself and with Zod gone I dont have him to worry about unless your worried about this new darkness?"
"What?"
"Clark I'm not stupid. You need to tell the others about this so they are prepared for what is coming. Everyone has darkness in them, it's how they embrace it that is different. I know I have darkness in me."
"And I will never let it have you. I lost you once I won't let it happen again."
"And I know that. But if the evil Jor-el said has come here is that bad then me staying here is the safest idea."
"Maybe. I don't know because I can't expect you to end up hiding out at the farm either. I will figure something out."
"Well for now I am staying here."
"Ok, I'll be back in a few hours." Clark said to her. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her deeply. She placed her hands on his chest, she ran her fingers over the symbol in center of the jacket.
"Looks better than the black."
"Thanks. Love you. "
"Love you too." She stepped back and he left. Katherine sighed and took her tea and sat in the livingroom.
Katherine was tired and hadn't told him that since her powers went out of her control she feared it would happen again and because of that the nightmares had began again.
Katherine lay down on the couch and closed her eyes. She was tired and knew too tired to go back upstairs to the bedroom. As her body finally relaxed, the nightmare began.
She could see it clearly everything was wrong darkness was everywhere she looked trying to find Clark when she saw something that caused her to scream. She ran to the fallen form, tentatively she touched his face and rolled him on his back. The light that once shone in his blue eyes was gone.
"No, please no." She cried. She moved his hair from his face, the wound in his chest told her he was gone. She looked around and saw so many more that lay dead nearby.  She held him close tears streaming down her cheeks she threw her head back and screamed windows around her blowing out.
"Kat. Kat wake up." He shook her. Katherine's eyes snapped open and she looked into his blue eyes, concern written on his face.
"Oh god." She grabbed onto him. Clark seemed confused but pulled her close to him.
"Hey, it was just a dream."
"God I wish." She muttered. He looked into her eyes.
"What? What did you see?"
"More than I wanted to."
"Kat, what did you see?"
"You dead everyone dead. Darkness everywhere. Clark I can't there is no way I am having dreams of the future I have never had them before."
"Then maybe they are just nightmares. How long have you been having them?"
"Since Emile finally got me leveled off. I dont know why the dreams started."
"At least you didn't destroy anything."
"Yeah there is that." Katherine said leaning against him. He wrapped his arms around her. It had been years since he had seen her this scared.
"If you need to ever talk about this I am here."
"I know. This world needs you and if those arent just nightmares then we see the world end and all those that protect it will be dead."
"There are enough of us that we won't be gone. Not all of us."
"Clark what I saw you all were dead. All of you, and a world without heros means a world without hope."
"Then maybe it's time I came out of the shadows and into the light."
"This world isnt ready not yet. But they need it anyway. All of you the problem is I fear that the first of you stepping into the light is about to be Oliver."
"Oliver?"
"Yeah. He misses Chloe and because of that he isnt thinking clearly. I wish he was."
"We will go see him tomorrow."
"Alright."
"Come on. Let's go back to bed." Clark, he lifted her into his arms and headed up the stairs. He lay her already tired body on the bed and lay next to her. He just wrapped his arms around her hoping her dreams would stay at bay with him at her side.

She ran, clearing distances she hadn't in a long time. As she rounded a corner she saw him, but what was near him terrified her. She raised her arms and the creature flew backwards away from him. She ran to his side. He was bleeding but he was alive.
"Clark?"
"Kat? How did you?"
"It doesnt matter. Where are the others?"
"I don't know. I lost track of Oliver and Bart. I don't know were AC or Black Canary are."
"We will find them. Can you stand?"
"Yes." He stood and looked at her. He wasnt sure what to think of her change. Just as they started to move something slammed into Clark.
"Clark?" Katherine dropped down next to him.  "No, please no." She held him as the light from his eyes disappeared.
She sat up screaming. Clark pulled her into his arms and held her close.
"Another one?"
"Yeah."
"As bad?"
"You talked me this time. And you died in my arms. Clark I can't."
"And you won't.  I will tell the others about the darkness."
"I cant lose you." She cried. "These dreams are going to drive me insane. They arent dreams at all. When Emile did what he did he must have awakened something I already had."
"We will find out. We must keep you calm."
"I know."
Clark spent the rest of the night just making sure she could rest peacefully.
