Fallen Angel

Repercussions

Clark held Shannon close as she rested, it had been very trying over the last couple days. He couldn't believe that Lionel had betrayed him.

"There are still things that I don't know."

"Whats that?" Shannon asked looking up at him.

"I just don't understand why he would do that, I mean he said he."

"Supported you? Seems when it comes to that it was the same thing with both Luthors. Clark this wasn't your fault, you at one point thought Lex was your friend and Lionel your ally, we can all make judgments about people but I guess those two knew how to hide their darker side."

"I know, but it is just bad that I thought all of this and it could have gotten us both killed."

"Yeah that was fun. my shoulders still hurt."

"Yeah I kind of expected that. Even with the way you heal, your arms were held in that position for a long time."

"Yep, longer than you think. I can around long before you did. And believe me our dead friend was a lot more friendly than when you did."

"So it seems." Clark said reaching down and puling out his phone. "Yeah Chloe? Sure I'll be right there."

"Whats going on?"

"I don't know she wants me to meet her at Smallville medical."

"Want me to come along?"

"its fine I won't be gone long. Get some rest." Clark kissed her and headed out the door. Shannon shook her head knowing that she hated when Clark did things like this it was like he was keeping things from her, but after what had happened she wouldn't expect anything less. She grabbed a blanket and curled up on the couch, she knew he would be home so, she grabbed a book and decided to read.

Shannon noticed that Clark hadn't come home yet and was wondering why. She walked toward the door and knew where she could find Chloe if something was needed to be found. She walked outside extended her wings and took to the air, she landed outside the isis foundation pulled in her wings and walked into the building.

"Chloe." She called out into the room.

"Shannon?"

"I would not lie to me because we will go out a window and I will drop you from so high they will need a shovel to clean you up."

"What did you need to know?"

"Where is Clark."

"Heading to Montreal"

"Why?"

"On a hunch, we think someone is trying to contact him. And so he went there."

"Chloe."

"He will be fine." She told her. Shannon sighed and both turned when Jimmy walked into the room.

"I am guessing you are forgoing sleep?"

"I was doing some research and that symbol that was carved onto Lex's chest there is one in the caves right above this."

"Yeah that just looks like a guy in a door."

"According to the most comprehensive site on cryptography that is a symbol of a human sacrifice."

"Oh my god."

"You could say that." Shannon said looking at her. "I need to borrow Chloe for a little bit."

"OK." Jimmy said as Shannon led Chloe out of the room.

"I think we need to get to Clark now, problem is even on my best day I can't fly that fast."

"I guess I will get a hold of Oliver and get the jet up and running, you want to stay here?"

"Yeah I can. you promise to bring him back in one piece?"

"Yes Shannon I do. Would you have really thrown me out the window?"

"Yep I would have, we have had enough problems lately I had one more betrayal I would kill someone."

"I will bring Clark back I promise."

Shannon sat quietly in the house drinking coffee, something she rarely did, it gave her the jitters and it bothered her. Tea was her drink of choice but she needed to stay awake, she moved to the coffee pot when the screen door opened and Clark walked through.

"Don't scare me like that again." She said pulling him into a hug.

"It wasn't a goal."

"Find what you were looking for?"

"Kind of, nearly got me killed."

"Again?"

"This was more along the lines that someone that knows about me that was in the same secret society with Lionel nearly killed me because I didn't kill Lex."

"I could have saved him a step and just killed Lex myself. I was going to over the last few times I have had a run in with him as it was."

"I know. But Chloe again saved my ass."

"Seems to be a theme with you two." Shannon laughed.

"Not funny."

"Yes actually it is. A girl that is perfectly human saves someone that isn't."

"Happens allot more than I like."

"Yeah I know."

"Everything will get better I promise."

Shannon touched his face and kissed him. She hoped it would get better, because one more thing wrong and she would kill people. Lots of people.
