Confrontation [Facebook verse]

[have_no_mercy]

Tess has barely been back in Kansas when her attention gets pulled in a hundred directions at once. It isn't a while until she realizes she's forgotten one very important thing: Lena's lost barette, probably somewhere at the Kent Farm.

After a call to Clark to make certain the coast is clear, she drives over intent on making a quick search of the property and then heading back to the mansion. Naturally, it would be rude not to say hello so her first stop on arrival is the farmhouse itself, letting herself in the kitchen door.

Conner's out seeing a movie with Lois, so it's the perfect time for Tess to come over. Clark's folding Conner's laundry in the living room when Tess arrives, and he stops momentarily to go greet her.

Chloe takes a deep breath and nods slightly, undoing her seatbelt and getting out of the car a moment later. She knows they have some things in the trunk that needs to be brought inside, but she doesn't really care at the moment. She wants to make sure Conner is okay and not upset with her because he was just sent away out of the blue.

She knows he probably doesn't know what is going on, but she needs to make sure he knows she's not going anywhere like her mother did.

A moment later, she's opening the door to the kitchen and stepping inside, raising her eyebrows, "Conner?" She calls, not liking the sudden silence, unless he was napping, there is no way the house would be this quiet with a child in it.

"Oh, shit," he mutters, following Clark as quickly as he could.

Her face is stinging painfully, but Chloe ignores it as a smirk appears on her face and with a deep breath, she throws all of her body weight against Tess', pushing her as hard as she can against the counter behind her.

"She did what?" Clark looks at Chloe, still not letting go of Tess.

"What happened?"

Clark stops putting the knife block back in order to look over at Tess. "You've said those things to her before. What changed this time?"

When it doesn't seem like Tess will be going anywhere for a while, Clark makes a cup of tea and brings it out to the porch, sitting down next to her and holding it out to her.

Clark drops his hand and stares at her. He's not looking at her the bruise or even any part of her neck - he's just staring at her face.

"He's a vampire?" Even growing up in Smallville and being an alien couldn't have prepared him to hear that.
