Chloe was late by fifteen minute, she told Ollie she would be back to the clocktower at eight, but Lois caught her just as she was about to leave work and she couldn't exactly pretend not to notice her cousin, she had been getting suspicious by Chloe's evasiveness as it was.

To her surprise, Ollie hadn't called her the second she was late, he had been understandably tense by everything that was going on. As she stepped out of the elevator, she frowned at the darkness, all lights were off in the clocktower, something wasn't right.

"Ollie?" She called carefully, turning the living room light on. No sign of him, her heart started beating faster as she dropped her purse on the floor and started turning every light she could on, looking into each and every room, calling his name.

"Ollie!" Her voice was getting more desperate at every room she looked into, and then, finally, she went to the master bedroom, her stomach turning at what she saw there.

There was a big dark red stain on the sheets, the bedside lamp had been shattered to pieces, and in the middle of the messy bed lay a single piece of paper. Chloe rushed towards it, already dreading the worst.

You shouldn't have betrayed me, Chloe.

She gasped as she read the words, she didn't need a signature to know who the note was from. Davis. Davis had Ollie and he was hurt, bleeding, she had to find him, she had to help him, she only hoped she wasn't too late.

Love you, she mouthed back, doing her best to hold back the tears. Her plan was working, so far, she had to keep lying, keep pretending until he was safe.

With one last look at him, she turned to look up as Davis pulled her through the door.

It too him a while, but Clark finally found the place, he could only hear one heartbeat inside, a weak one at that, and since he couldn't find Chloe or Oliver, that wasn't good news.

Ripping the door off of its hinges, he walked in, looking around, "Chloe?" He called.

He'd never been so relieved to hear another man's voice before in his entire life. "Clark. He has her. He has Chloe." His voice was weak, and he struggled to get the words out. "You have to find her."

Clark supersped in the direction of Oliver's voice, giving him a quick look before breaking the chains effortlessly.

"Where did he take her?"

"I don't know," he said, forcing himself to his feet from pure adrenaline. "We have to find them."

His jaw tightened at the suggestion as he helped the other man up, "you need a doctor, I'll go find them after I take you back to the clocktower."

He wanted to argue. He wanted to insist that he come along. Chloe was his girlfriend, the woman who owned his heart. If anything happened to her...

But arguing would only waste time. And considering the condition Oliver was in at the moment, he would only slow Clark down. "All right."

He was surprised at how easily Oliver agreed, he must be in a lot of pain.

Without blinking, he picked the other man up and supersped back to the clocktower, he had seen what the master bedroom looked like, so he took Oliver to the guest bedroom, leaving him in the bed before superspeeding away and back again, holding him his phone. "Can you call the doctor?"

"I've got it. Go. Find Chloe," he said weakly, taking the phone from him with blood-slickened fingers.

"Does she have the rock?" He asked as he was about to turn away. If he was going to find Davis, he was going to need it.

"I don't know." He pressed a hand to his stomach. "Check the closet in the master bedroom. It's in a small black box."

He nodded, rushing back to the other bedroom and coming back after a second, "I got it." Without waiting for a reply, he supersped away. He had to find Chloe.

Oliver shut his eyes and swallowed hard.

Please let him find her in time.

Davis gripped onto the steering wheel of the car tightly and glanced at her sideways. "Anywhere you've always dreamed of going?"

Back inside. She thought to herself, not being able to get her mind off of Ollie, but Davis was believing her, she had to keep going and just hope Clark got to him on time.

"There is one place I've always wanted to take you." She sat up, turning to look at him, hoping he'd accept it, if she took him there, they would know where to find her.

He was almost surprised by her words and he glanced at her curiously, his eyes near normal once more. "Where?" he asked, a small smile tugging at his lips. The thought of them being together, forever, calmed him.

Chloe did her best to return his smile, the red was completely gone from his eyes, that was a good sign. "The Kawatche caves, they have a lot of the mythology involving Kryptonians and I know what some of the symbols represent, I've always wanted to show it to you, maybe help you learn more about your heritage."

He paused for a moment, thinking about that. "All right. Tell me how to get there," he said with a slight shrug. He supposed learning more about his heritage was probably good. He may need that information one day soon.

She held her breath a little not to sigh in relief when he agreed, nodding, she looked at where they were, "take I-70 south, it's about an hour outside of Metropolis." She didn't want to mention Smallville, she didn't know if Davis would make the connection to Clark or not.

He nodded a little and followed her instructions until they were on the correct road and headed toward the caves. "So how did information about my heritage end up in some old caves?" he asked curiously.

Chloe shifted on her seat, still trying to stop thinking about Ollie, she nodded, focusing on this subject was better than him talking about them.

"Apparently, hundreds of years ago, a kryptonian visited the Earth and the Kawatche tribe learned through him a lot of stories about the Kryptonian culture, they even base some of their own culture on what this Kryptonian told them. They learned, over the years what was to come in the kryptonian future and how other visitors would come to Earth to save us."

"So there are others? Besides me and...Clark?" His smile slipped just a bit, his fingers tightening on the steering wheel.

She noticed the change in his expression and shook her head, "not anymore. Not since Krypton was destroyed, you two are the only survivors."

He relaxed once more, nodding slightly, speeding the car up a little. A little over half hour later, they arrived at the caves she'd been talking about for most of the drive and he put the car into park and climbed out, moving to the passenger side and opening the door for her. He smiled at her. "Show me."

She took his hand and got out of the car, when the monster wasn't in control, Davis was a gentle guy, no one would ever guess he was able to do the things he did. She hoped the plan would work and that they could save him this time.

Leading the way down the caves, it was dark, but there was enough sunlight that they could see enough of the walls closer to the entrance. She just had to keep him away from the secret room.

"Do you see all the drawings on the wall? Some of them are even influenced by kryptonian symbols."
