Katherine lay on the couch, she had woke that day with a headache and hadn't done much when it came to helping out around the house and having Lois yelling on the phone about a missing flight wasn't helping. Katherine stood and took the phone from Lois.
"That isn't helping. And all your doing is making my head hurt more which will result in Mrs. Kent going to Washington alone and me cleaning up blood off the hardwood."
"Sorry." Lois said lowering her voice. They both turned to see Martha open the door and let Lionel in. His offer for them to use the Luthorcorp jet was out of the blue but Martha didn't want to use it. But Lionel insisted even if it was just a friendly gesture so they could make the meeting.
Katherine waited for them to leave and looked at Lionel.
"Where is Clark? "
"The barn."
"Are you alright? "
"Just a headache." Katherine answered walking back over to the couch. She lay back down and put her arm across her eyes and prayed her head would stop pounding.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes Lionel I'm fine.  Go talk to Clark.  Believe me you both can come back and worry about me when your done talking. For now go away."
"Fair enough." Lionel turned and left . Katherine waited and hoped they would leave her alone.
It had been several hours Katherine opened her eyes and sat up, she reached out and grabbed for the lamp turning the switch yet it didnt turn on.
"What the hell." Katherine said heading to the kitchen. She reached for a flashlight and headed to the barn. She heard a noise as she entered and turned to see Lex come from one side of the barn as Clark came from the other. Neither of them noticed she was there as she listened to them talk well argue up until Lex pointed out he left with the loyal girlfriend.

"Lana was never his girlfriend Lex." Katherine said coming into view. Both men turned toward her. Lex grabbed Clark and tried to throw him only to have Clark toss him into the one part of the hayloft and out the other side.
"I knew there was something different about you." Lex said just before he tossed Clark up into his loft.
"Clark." Katherine called out. She saw Clark stand and then hold a dagger to Lex's throat. A man appeared behind Katherine, she turned and moved startled by the random appearance. But instead of stabbing Lex with it Clark threw it at the stranger they knew as Milton Fine.
"What have I done?"
"You've opened the portal for Zod."
Katherine watched in horror as a red light slammed into Lex and sending Clark flying backwards. The light disappeared and Lex just stood still.  Fine disappeared leaving Katherine the only one standing on the lower floor. Katherine made her way up the stairs to Clark. She stopped suddenly looking at Lex, but she could tell it wasnt Lex at all. He looked at her and then turned and walked over to Clark. 
He moved his hand around Clark's face and then spoke. 
"You have your father's eyes. Hello Kal-El."
"Where is Lex? "
"Lex is dead."
"What do you want?"
"Same thing anyone would want that has been locked up like a beast. Revenge. "
"This has to do with you and I it has nothing to do with these people. "
"You know no greater pain than to see others suffer. But you could save those you care most about by joining me."
"I will never join you."
"I hope this is a choice you can live with forever." He answered.  Katherine watched as he took a ring from his wrist and it flew past Clark and out the window. Clark looked at it and then back at Zod then Clark was pulled out the window.
"CLARK!" Katherine screamed running forward. "What did you do?"
She turned screaming at him. He turned and looked at her.
"You cared about him."
"I care about him. What did you do to him?"
"He's gone forever.  But this human had a friendly feelings for you. He cares for another that Kal-El once loved."
"Lana. They have been together for a while now. But that doesnt matter bring Clark back."
"No."
"Do you have all the same powers as Clark? "
"Yes."
"Good."
Katherine reached into the desk and pulled the silver box out and opened it, the green kryptonite glowed bright bringing Lex to his knees.
"It pays to pay attention to what my boyfriend can handle and cant.  This would be the can't. " Katherine looked down at him but wasnt expecting him to be able to knock the stone away from her. And then knock her off the top part of the loft. She landed hard on the ground, her vision swimming before she finally passed out. He walked over her and left her laying on the floor.
