"Clark I have some bad news" said Paige.

"What is it Paige"?

"I'm not pregnant".

"Oh my gosh".

"Are you sure"?

"I checked 3 times all negative" said Paige.

"Don't worry there's still time".

Daily planet

"Collins I want a juicy story worthy of a headline by tomorrow got me" said the editor.

"Sure thing sir" said Paige.

"So how was Africa"?

"It was amazing Chloe, seeing the wildlife and then Clark took me to an amazing dinner".

"But we tried to get pregnant and it didn't work".

"Oh my god that's terrible" said Chloe.

"Well if you need help with anything you know I'm always here".

"Alright I got to go Clarks taking me horseback riding" said Paige.

"Have fun" said Chloe.
>>>>>>>>

"It's good to know I can still beat you at something".
"Thanks for the afternoon, Clark" said Paige.
"Champagne, truffles It wasn't even my birthday".
"Overkill?"
"No, I loved it".
"But normally, that kind of romance comes with a tag that says "sorry I wrecked your car or I accidentally slept with your sister" said Paige.
" Well, to be honest Paige, you lately you've seemed a little distant".

"guess I've been busy".
"We finally get a chance to make this relationship work".
"It's not a big deal" said Paige.
"I'm just getting used to the new life" said Paige.
"Paige, I know what this is really about".
"You do?"."Between my cousin and that crystal from Krypton, it's been as far from a normal life as you can get" said Clark.

"Clark, If I wanted normal I would have rethought the part about dating a guy who shoots fire from his eyes".
"If everything we've been through was just for that it was all worth it" said Clark.
We should get out of here.

"Paige, you have to be careful with this speed thing" said Clark.

"It's a little like I was moving and everything else was frozen" said Paige.
"Clark, this is so cool".
"How come you didn't tell me it was like this".
"One of those had-to-be-there kind of things" said Clark.
"Listen Paige, it took me a lot of time to adjust".
"Relax, Clark".

"You live with these abilities every day".
"I think I can handle it" said Paige.
"Yeah, but we don't know that for sure".
"And Paige, a human with my abilities can be dangerous" said Clark.

"We have to find a way to get rid of them".
"Eventually yes, but being on an equal playing field could have its benefits" said Paige quoting "sex".
"Like what? Paige".

"I don't think that's such a good idea" said Clark.
"There's no harm in trying".
Next morning
"Paige,I guess I should go out and fix the barn" said Clark.
"You're X-raying me"said Clark."My God, that's amazing! You can do so much with this" said Paige.

"Well, let's start with you not getting so up close and personal with my vertebrae" said Clark.

"I just wish this had happened a long time ago".
"I always tried to guess what your life was like, but there was always a part of you that I could never get close to".
"No matter how hard I tried I could never really know you" said Paige.
"Not until now".

"I've left you like ten messages" said Chloe.
"We've been busy" said Clark.
"Oh that's nice, while you two have been busy I have been practicing my cardiac arrest" said Chloe.
"Are you okay"."Better than ever".

"Why? I don't know, only because there've been constant seismic tremors all around Smallville since two o'clock" said Chloe.
"That was probably us" said Clark.
"What do mini-earthquakes had to do with you guys? Oh.

"I thought you said you couldn't" said Chloe." Yeah, we normally can't" said Paige.
"You guys talk about this" said
Clark."What? It's just Chloe".
Awkward.

"Oh, someone has been eating their wheaties" said Chloe.
"Um, I'll go get a screwdriver" said Paige.
"Ok, I need a little explain-o" said Chloe.

"There was Kryptonite and lighting and it happened so fast it's not really clear" said Clark.
"The transfer wasn't complete".
"I still have my powers".
"And now Paige does too".

"Clark Been here and done this and it doesn't end well" said Chloe.
"Hey, the last human you supped up became a psych 101 case study".
"Yeah, but Paige  is different".
"We know her".
"It's not gonna happen".

"Ok, Eric Summers was just a geek who collected rocks and then ended up in an asylum" said Chloe.
"And I hate to bring this up, but when your dad took your powers His heart failed" said Chloe.
"So, whatever extra curricular benefits this could have they don't outweigh what could happen to Paige".

"Could you keep en eye on her for me?". "Don't worry about, Clark.
I won't let Paige out of my sight".
2 hours later

"I so needed this girls night out" said Paige.

"You don't have to cover Clark asked you to babysit me".
"No, he didn't".
"Superhearing".
"Right".
"But, paige I don't want to ruin your super high or anything but you just have to watch yourself".

"Chloe I wish you could know how this feels.
"It's like you can do anything".
"Like nothing can hurt you".
"Like you're untouchable".

"I've been given a gift".
"I can break into any locked door, slip into any room unnoticed eavesdrop on any conversation".
"So are you passing on the circus so you can go and join the KGB? You're always after the hard-to-get articles".
"You can't tell me that you wouldn't use these powers if you had them".

"What's churning in that head of yours Paige".
>>>>>>>>
Luthor Corp

"The metallic dust, somehow liquefied.
On its own? That dust was the last remnant of the alien technology I have".
"What's left of Milton Fine Ship" said lex.
"Now whatever you did with it I want it back" said lex.
"I swear to you, Mr.".

"Luthor, you're staring at what you gave me".
"This is an airtight container".
"The sample has been under lock and key 24 hours a day".
"Dust doesn't just turn to liquid" said lex.

"It's evolving".
"That metal is sentient".
"It's alive".
"Here".
"It's my report and all the data on project Scion".

"That organism exhibits conscious behavior".
"Without being contained by meteor rocks and low levels of radiation, the liquid has mobility".
"It appears to want out".
"I know you're an ethical man, Dr.
Jansen" said lex.

"But project Scion needs to remain confidential at any price" said lex.
"Am I making myself clear".

Next day
Lex.
You can skip the "you're not welcome here" prologue said lex.
"Someone left my vault door on the rug" said lex.
"Now, paige was seen walking out of the mansion".
"You want to tell me what the hell is going on".
I wish I knew.

"Knew why she'd steal from me or how she seems to possess superhuman strength".
"She's obviously been infected" said Clark.
"As to why she was breaking into your mansion, I'm sure you could answer that question better than I could".

You really don't know what Lana's after, do you? "She's got a lot of reasons not to trust you".
"Funny".

The Daily Planet

"What? I can't believe you've never had famous franks before" said Lois.
"I can't believe anyone's had famous franks" said the editor.
"That thing could survive a nuclear holocaust".
"Um maybe next time, Lane".
"It's just like this Frank you don't respond to my articles because you are not down with the people" said Lois.

"Careful with the attitude, Lane".
"I'm still your boss".
"Oh, I'm just quoting - From several reputable sources, actually".

"Miss Collins, you'll have to speak with my assistant about an appointment".
"Or I can go to the assistant to the editor at the Herald" said Paige.
"I came straight to the top" said the editor.
"Do you want a story or not, Mr.
Phillips"."I'm listening".

"Proof that the born-again Lex Luthor isn't as changed as he claims".
"It a classified project - Something called Scion".
"And he just handed over his hard drive to you?"." It doesn't matter where it came from".
"The world needs to know what kind of person Lex really is".

"I'm not gonna settle your personal vendetta in the pages of the Daily Planet".
"It's news, and you know it".
"We can't run a story from stolen sources".

"You are printing that story".
"Somebody better switch to decaf" Lois interrupted.
"Then I'll take care of Lex myself".

Few moments later

"Chloe, Paige didn't pick up" said Clark.
Any headway on the location of Scion?
Nada.
"I mean, it's possible that Lex has finally learned to cover his tracks" said Chloe.
Or what if, for once, Lex doesn't have anything to hide? Yeah, maybe when I hit 5'10" and Prince Harry sweeps me off my feet.

Lex Corp

"If I lose any more patience, Lex you won't be around to see it" said Paige.
"I told you I don't have anything to hide".
This is project Scion.
You can see for yourself.
The password is 51805.
"That's the date of the last meteor shower".
You're tracking aliens? You said you stopped looking into this.
"If you don't stop, more people will die" said Paige.

Paige, there's a reason for everything that has happened to me.
"Don't you see? My miraculous rescue from the river, the spacecrafts, those creatures who landed with the meteors -It's not a coincidence Paige interrupted.

You're right, because your hunger for power landed you in the middle of it all.
"There's a reason you came to me a not Clark" said lex.
- You trusted me.
- That's all over.

Is it? Then why have you been trailing me, spying on me, stalking every move that I make? "Because the world should know what a liar you are" said Paige.
"I will dig up every track you have buried until it kills me" said Paige.
"I won't let you hurt anyone else".
And I haven't, have I? Paige, I'm trying to save people.

"Those creatures - They were only the first" said lex.
"There will be more".
"Project Scion might be our only hope".
>>>>>>>>>>
Next day

"Paige it's good that your all better" said Clark.

"It's good to be back".
