Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Smallville.
A/N: I know this has been done before, but kidnapped Chlex always leads to interesting situations.
A/N part 2: I'm putting this here because knowing me it will end up needing this rating.
Summery: Chloe’s investigations lead her to an abandoned warehouse, Lex follows her, but something goes wrong.
Chapter 1 – The visitor
Lex looked up from his desk to see her standing there. “And to what do I owe this visit Chloe”
“I wanted to ask some questions about a Myntracor”
“What?”
“It’s a virus that I believe is being manufactured here in Smallville, with the meteorite rocks.” Replied Chloe
“Why would I know anything about that”? Asked Lex, looking at young blonde reporter.
“Well the scientist that was working on the virus, Dr. Kilerce used to work for your father”
“Dr. Kilerce disappeared after my father gave him extra money to help with his research.”
“Well then he didn’t get very far,” she said
“You know he’s in Smallville for a fact” asked Lex with an intrigued look on his face
“Well no, but I have an idea where he might be”
“And where is that?”
“I have to find out if I’m right first” she replied
“Chloe, Dr. Kilerce is a dangerous man, he has no problem killing people to get what he wants.”
“Well that gives me all the more reason to find out so he can be stopped”
“Yes, but that should be done by the proper authorities” said Lex, looking at intrepid reporter “Look, why don’t we both go over this tomorrow, so we can have more information, so were not running in blind”
Chloe just looked at him
“Promise me you’ll wait?” Lex asked while studying her reaction.
“Fine” She said and stormed out
Lex placed his hands on his head, tired from having to get the wired reporter to calm down. Then he thought about it a little longer, who am I kidding, she’s not going to wait for tomorrow
Lex grabbed his jacket and ran to his car.
He was sitting in his Porsche a few houses down from hers it was dark. He was waiting for a while and was about to go home, when he saw her climbing down a pipe on the side of her house, and run to her car. She started the engine and he waited again then followed.
They drove to what looked like an abandoned warehouse, a few miles outside of Smallville. She pulled her car into the forest and parked behind some bushes. Lex pulled up right next to her.
He walked over to her car, just as she was getting out
“Lex” she whispered, “what are you doing here? You followed me,” she said angrily
“Yes, because you didn’t listen to me.” He said getting close to her face. “You promised me you were going to wait”
“Yeah, but I didn’t say for what” she retorted
“Chloe, this man is dangerous”
“I’m just going in to look around, I’m not even sure this is the place”
“Well then I’m coming with you” said Lex, knowing about Chloe’s uncanny ability to find what she wanted, he had no doubt in his mind, that this was the place.
They slowly walked around the compound, She found a window one that was over a dumpster and had a sheet over it, to Lex it looked like they were waiting for a replacement. But before he could think anymore he saw Chloe climbing up and into the dumpster, he grabbed her leg.
“What are you doing, you said you were just checking it out,” he whispered
“I am I can’t check anything out from the outside, Lex”
“Chloe this is too dangerous, let just go home and handle it tomorrow”
“Just a quick look around then we can go,” replied Chloe
“Chloe, I’m worried, this place is too quiet” but she was already inside and couldn’t hear him, he quickly jumped in the dumpster and climbed through the window. Not wanting to leave her alone for a second, she always found things out that no one knew about but she also gets herself into lots of trouble.
They were sneaking around from corner to corner and peeking into different rooms. There weren't many guards in the complex at this late hour, which Lex thought was very odd. Suddenly Chloe let out a little gasp, as they peered into a lab, there it was.
The green glowing meteorite rocks were in a container ensconced and spotlighted on top of an eight-foot-tall platform in the middle of a cavernous room. The walls were pitch black, the surrounding floor panels blinding white -- the combination of sharply contrasting colors giving Lex a headache as he looked around the room.
Chloe enthralled by her discovery, stepped out just a little bit.
Then the room plunged into pick blackness and an ear-piercing alarm went off.
"Shit!" Lex shouted, looking desperately around, struggling to see in the sudden transition to nearly complete darkness.
"Lex!" Chloe shouted.
"Come on!" He yelled. "We've got to get out of here!" Lex said as he grabbed her hand. They sprinted across the hallway.
"I can't see," Chloe said, her voice edged with panic as she fumbled for her flashlight.
"I can’t either," Lex said, breathing hard as they ran
Chloe finally pulled out small pencil flashlight. Lex heard footsteps running behind them.
”Chloe NO!” Lex shouted he turned around just in time to see a wand swinging towards him.
The last thing he heard was Chloe screaming as pain lanced through every nerve fiber in his body.
