7.17 Revolt by TW and KK Part VIII

as retold by RepairmanBob

TW: Back at Vault Black, Chloe’s head has fallen forward. She is not moving.
AM: (glares at KK)
TW: Brainiac checks her pulse. "Oh, well. Unfortunately, but not completely unforeseen. Kurt, Ted – it is time to begin. Mia, you might want to stand back." Ted concentrates, and starts to glow.
KK: As Brainiac and Mia move to check the monitors at the Slab, we heat a single heartbeat.
AM: Huh?
KK: The camera plans over the Chloe. Liquid GreenK is still being pumped into her.
TW: Thump thump.
JG: What are you doing?
TW: Dramatic effect.
JG: Do you even know what that means?
KK: The view moves into Chloe’s chest, to her heart.
TW: Thump thump.
KK: The liquid GreenK flows into her heart. The muscle changes from bright pink to green to orange.
TW: Thump thump.
KK: The GreenK flows in, and orange blood flows out into the body. We pull back out, and move in close to the metal restrains on Chloe's right arm. Her fingers twitch, and the metal crumples like tissue paper.
AM: Hmmm.
KK: (Smirks)

TW: Clark rushes Lex and lands three quick blows on the chest.
MR: Lex grabs Clark’s arm as he pulls back for a fourth punch and swings him into the wall. Lex maintains the hold and throws Clark.
TW: In the air, Clark spins, regains his balance and turns back towards Lex.
JG: That was just not very bright.
MR: Actually, Clark turns back to get hit by the two missiles Iron Lex fired from his shoulder-mounted launchers.
ED: OK, that was cool.
MR: Clark lands with a splat. Iron Lex leaps 20 feet into the air and does a flying curb stomp as Clark tries to stand up.
AoT: The curb stomp. A classic.
AM: When are we going back to Chloe?
KK: Oh, so now, you want to go back to Chloe?
AM: Ummm
MR: Iron Lex hits Clark with a blast of GreenK. "Did you really think it would that easy, alien?" Another blast. "I have sacrificed more than you can imagine to protect this planet from monsters like you." Lex kicks Clark in the ribs.
KK: Clark’s uniform is starting to look ragged.
AoT+ED+AM: Ohhhhh.
TW: That wasn’t in the script!
KK: Sex sells, Tom. One shoulder and a pec are visible.
ED: Better hit the gym, Tom.
JG: (taking notes) Buy camera. Call contacts at People and OK. Call broker to discuss offshore accounts.

TW: In Vault Black, Ted is glowing so brightly he is almost white. Waves of heat and pouring off of him. The walls and floor around him have been burned black and are melting. Brainiac looks pleased – Mia, hiding behind him looks slightly scared. Brainaic gestures to Kurt, who starts to walk towards Ted. His hair and clothes start to smoke as her gets closer. Kurt reaches out to touch the burning man –
KK: And Ted flies across the room. The camera stars tight on the glowing freak, who shouts, then goes stiff as his body is covered in what looks like orange electricity. Ted shutters, then is thrown through the nearest wall. Revealing…
AM: (Looking excited)
KK: Chloe Sullivan. Her hair is covering her face, like a girl in a Japanese horror movie.
ED: Only blond.
MR: And with much better breasts.
AM: Thank you. (Pause) I think.
KK: Chloe is standing still. Orange bolts of energy periodically flash across her body.
TW: Brainiac looks annoyed. " Kurt, remove –"
KK: Before he can finish the sentence, Chloe lifts her arm, and a wall of monitors flies across the room and slams into Brainaic. Kurt grabs a metal pole and teleports behind Chloe. He smashes it down into her head – which turns out to be an illusion. Chloe appears and lifts him by the neck.
ED: Mia shouts "No! This isn’t how it happens!" She looks at Brainiac, who is starting to flow out from behind the equipment. She picks up a large rifle, and starts firing at Chloe.
KK: Kurt is surrounded by the same orange energy as Ted. Chloe is shot once, twice – we see the bullets rip into her and the wounds almost instantly heal. Mia continues to fire, and Chloe ignores her. She drains Kurt of his power, and throws him into the monitors near Mia, which explode.
ED: Mia flinches, and when she turns back Chloe is next to her. She raises the rifle, but Chloe takes it away and crushes it. Mia whispers "This isn’t how it happens" as Chloe reaches for her.
TW: Brainiac reforms himself, and takes a look around. His minions are down, the room is trashed, and Chloe is standing perfectly still. Like I said, creepy Japanese horror girl.
ED: But blond.
MR: And busty.
KK: Chloe finally looks up. She gives Brainiac a sinister grin – like Skylar looking at a tasty brain. Chloe yells and flies at Brainian, knocking them both through the wall of the room with a crash.
TW: Allison, is there anything you would like to say?
AM: Michael, stop talking about my chest.
TW: Besides that?
AM: (grumbles) It's not as good as getting Chloe back into the Daily Planet. But it's a start.
KK: A start? I gave Chloe her powers back!
AM: But when does she get back to being a reporter?
JG: Kristin gives Chloe god-like powers and you are concerned about when she turns back into a cub reporter? What is the matter with you?
MR: Powers rock!
AM: I got rid of Chloe's powers for a reason! I want to get hr back to being a reporter!
ED: Who cares about being a reporter when you can have cool powers?
MR: (Deadpan) Your dedication to journalism is always impressive, Erica.
ED: What? I just said -
AM: Fine, give Lois powers!
KK: No! I want Super Chloe! It will all make sense when -
AM: And Lois can have a secret identity!
ED: Hurray!
AM: And a skin tight spandex uniform!
ED: I love skin tight spandex!
AM: And Chloe can get a new identity! Maybe as a reporter who had to move away because she became a super hero!
ED: Whatever! When do I get my spandex!
JG: (Shaking head) Unbelievable.
TW: Write your own episodes, Mack.

TW: At the Slab, Clark kicks Lex in the stomach and knocks him back 15 feet. As Lex gets his balance, Clark rushes in and tackles him against another wall, landing quick punches to the chest and shoulders. The Iron Lex armor is starting to show some dents and cracks.
MR: Lex, being much smarter than Clark –
TW: Hey!
MR: Takes the hits, then give Clark a palm thrust to the throat.
AoT: Ah, the palm thrust. A classic.
MR: As Clark staggers back, Lex raises his left arm. "You have to breath." A red gas starts to pump out of his forearm. "Let’s see how you like this nerve toxin. A few grams would be enough to kill everyone in Metropolis. But I made it stronger for you."
TW: Clark tates a breath, and chokes. He looks startled, then uses his super-breath to blow the gas into the sky, away from the bystanders.
