Safe ( Smallville Fanfic)

Trust

Katherine walked into Watchtower and came to a stop and remembered that it was just her and Emile in the building now that Oliver had told the world he was Green Arrow.
"Katherine I was not expecting to see you today."
"Clark was doing something so I decided to come here and do some research. Plus with that damned vigilante registration act, its you and me and occasionally Tess at the building."
"Do you trust her?"
"Clark does so I do. She seems to want to make a mends for what ever she did that made it so that she lost Oliver's trust."
"And it is hard to loose his trust. But we will have to see where it goes. We shouldn't have to be long today. Go home and make Clark go home."
"I cant make Clark do anything." Katherine said. "Plus he's patrolling so I am going to be here a while. Go home Emile I will be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah go." Katherine answered him. Emile left leaving her alone in the building, she moved around to the monitors, she couldn't replace Chloe and neither could Tess but the two of them were ok together. Katherine turned and saw Tess walk in.
"You ok?" Katherine asked, actually causing her to jump. "Sorry."
"Its ok. I just wasnt expecting anyone to be here this late."
"Clark is patrolling so I figured I'd come here."
"Oh."
"Are you alright?"
"I don't know." She answered. Both jumped when Clark walked into the room and spoke.
"I am getting a bell for you." Katherine said kissing him.
"Tess you made it sound like it was urgent not scrapbooking."
"I thought I would find this in this photo album it just reminds me why I don't like to go home for Christmas."
"What is it?"
"Someone broke into the mansion and left this with the gift tag that said happy birthday Tess. But it's not my birthday."
"I think I found something." Clark said walking to the table setting the item on it. A name coming up clear on the screen.
Katherine looked at the woman that was shown and she could feel the evil from the woman just looking at the picture.
"What ever the two of you are doing be careful I don't like the feeling I get just looking at that woman."
"We will. Go home and get some sleep."
"I will." Katherine grabbed her purse and actually left Watchtower.

She arrived at home and decided she was going to lay down on the couch and rest. The sun had started to rise and she stretched and stood. She was hungry and four hours of sleep wasn't enough but she knew she wasn't getting anymore as long as he wasn't home. She made a pot of coffee and looked for something to eat.
She walked out to the barn while eating the sandwich she had made she walked up into the loft. Clark was never one that kept the cleanest area, she put books away and papers. She turned as Shelby walked up the stairs and looked at her.
"What I am bored." She told the dog. As she was putting papers away she pulled out one that showed the cave and a book that had a shape like a key.
"I wonder where he keeps it." She muttered. Shelby she looked at her tail wagging happily.
"Ok now I am just curious." She said reaching over by the books and pulling the disc from its hiding place.
"Wouldn't hurt to go and speak to Jor-el."

Katherine pulled her jacket closed as she walked into the fortress. She had remembered what Clark had told her about it.
"Jor-el." She called out into the silence. It was cold, her fingers were tingling.
"Come on your son needs you. He is a wonderful man and he is a great hero. People look up to him. Yes I believe that some day he will step into the light. But he can't be the hero he's destined to be with your silence." She called out. Katherine threw her hands in the air and then turned.
"Maybe he's better without you." Katherine said. "I can be what I can for him. My own powers get out of control but I will always stand by his side more than I can say for the father that sent him to this planet."
A bright light surrounded her and she went into the air.

Clark arrived at the farm and found Katherine wasnt in the house and went to the barn. He found that she wasnt there either but the key to the fortress was gone.
"Kat."

Clark arrived at the fortress a short time later.
"If you hurt her. I may not have lived up to your expectations but you would have failed all of mine."
Clark caught her before she fell.
"Well that was different. Please talk to him."
"Kat he's not talking and after what he did to you I am done."
"Clark please try." Katherine said to him. The room light up and two figures appeared. He looked at them as they spoke to him. When they disappeared he turned and looked at her. Katherine smiled.
