H20: Krypto
"Morning…" Chloe sleepily announced, stretching cat like across the bed.
"Morning…" Clark responded as he twisted himself to face Chloe, pulling her into his arms. "…no don't get up yet, just lay here awhile…we don't have work today" Clark only just managed to say whilst leaving a trail of kisses along Chloe's neck.
"Clar- Clark! Stop…Stop! Lois is coming over this morning and its already late, she could be here any minute" Chloe said mustering all of her will and strength…he really had no idea what he could do to her, one touch and she would cave…but not today.
"Great…you really know how to torture a guy…what is Lois coming over for?"
"Don't you remember? She's been working on that new story covering Lex and 33.1…she asked for our help…anything sounding familiar?" Chloe bantered as she climbed out of bed and made her way into the bathroom.
"So much for not working today" Clark sighed as he reluctantly followed Chloe out of bed.

Hastily knocking on the door for several minutes, Lois quickly became impatient and decided to just let herself in. Well I did used to live here…it's an emergency…they'll understand.
"HELLO…ANYONE HOME? God-damit Smallville where are you?" Lois muttered to herself when she received no answer. She was cornering the living room entrance at full speed, when without warning she came face to face or rather nose to chest, as she pounded into what could only be described as a solid wall.
"HMPH…ouch…my god Smallville what have you got under that shirt, a six-pack or a steel plate?" Lois questioned putting her hand to her head as she stood and tried to steady herself.
"Lois…you're here…in my house…haven't you heard of knocking?" Clark queried annoyance evident in his voice guiding Lois over to the sofa, as Chloe ran to the kitchen to fetch an ice pack for her head…she had plenty of practice in aiding 'man of steel' induced bumps to the head, Clark had a habit of sneaking up on people.
"Well actually I did knock but no one answered and this was far too important to play wait hours before being let in…ouch!" Lois gasped as she gingerly touched the round lump gradually forming on her forehead.
"Well the fact that you just let yourself into my house aside…I'm sorry about your head…but it really was your fault you know" Clark said pointing towards Lois accusatively.
"Speaking of which…how the hell did you knock me off ma feet and cause me to see flying little duckies without so much as flinching?" Lois threw back at him, her nosey reporter hat coming out and firmly being placed onto her head, but before Clark to respond Chloe came rushing into the living room, nervously trying to divert Lois's attention away from Clark as she handed over the ice-pack.
"Lois how's your head? Here's some ice it should help with the swelling" Chloe asked, eyeing Clark as if to say you need to be more careful.
"Thanks cuz…I'll be fine, I'm a Lane, the General didn't raise me to keel over and die at the slightest set back…however, I don't recall you ever moving into the Kent's house, what are you doing here?" Lois probed staring down her cousin as she watched her face turn read at the realisation of Lois's words.
"Well that's just none of your business" Chloe snarked back as she moved around the living room uncomfortably.
"So...back to why you just let yourself into my house…" Clark prompted as he moved into the chair opposite Lois.
"Right…well, Chloe it's terrible, I was back at home eating my breakfast, when it happened…the phone call" Lois said her tone turning deadly serious as she placed the ice-pack onto the coffee table and walked over to the fire place.
"Oh no, not the phone call…did someone get the wrong number?" Clark teased as he watched Lois's face harden with annoyance. He loved to annoy her; he just found it so satisfying.
"No smarty pants…it was Rikki" Lois stared towards Chloe and could see that she was just surprised to hear that name as she was.
"Rikki?" Chloe confirmed as she moved closer to Lois and sat besides her on the couch.
"Yer, but that's not the best part…she coming here…tomorrow"
"Tomorrow?" Chloe confirmed once again, she was usually more pronominal in her words, but she was speechless, she didn't know what to say.
"Wait a minute, what am I missing here? Who is Rikki and why has that name got my girlfriend talking in one word sentences?" Clark interrupted as he became lost in what appeared to be family thing.
"Rikki is my sister and I haven't seen her in six years" Lois stated bluntly as she stopped by the window and stared blankly at the acres of land surrounding the Kent's house.
"Oh" was all Clark could think to say.
"Why haven't you seen her in so long?" Clark felt as though this was a sore subject for Lois but needed to know.
"Lets just say that ever since our mother died we just drifted apart…the fact that she was too young to leave and was dragged away with the General didn't help matters, however, he soon figured that he didn't want to make the same mistake twice and raise another army brat, so he decided to leave her with his brother, our uncle…in Australia…I haven't seen her since and she hasn't called…until now" Lois rolled out, not only emotionally but physically feeling as though she had lost a lot of weight off her shoulders now that she had told someone.
Clark looked over at Chloe who just looked back at him obviously shocked at this discovery.
"Wait she's been staying with Gabe?" Clark asked now more confused than before.
"No the General's other brother Mark" Lois simply explained.
"I don't remember her much, but I do remember us all playing together…but when- I haven't heard from her either" Chloe finished quickly as she could see that her words were affecting Lois with each syllable.
"Well then isn't this a good thing? It'll give you all a chance to catch up again" Clark innocently proposed as he watched either girl look at one another and then back at him.
"Not exactly smallville…I haven't seen her in years, what if she doesn't remember me? What if she doesn't want to? What if she hates me? What if I hate her? I don't want to hate my sister, I don't even know what kind of person she has grown up to be" Lois rambled on and on until Chloe cut her off before she could have a compete nervous breakdown.
"Lois, calm down…I'm sure she will like you, well unless she's anything like Clark then we have a problem" Chloe joked trying desperately to lighten the mood in the room.
"True…what am I worried about, I'm not a bad person, sure I can be abrupt at times but I can be the loving sister role too" Lois continued talking more to herself than anyone else in the room.
"That's the spirit, now where is she going to stay?" Clark asked moving to sit besides Chloe, taking her petite hand in his larger one.
"Well actually…" Lois started, looking directly towards Clark her eyes pleading for his response to be positive.
"No, Lois no, she can't stay here" Clark immediately responded as he clutched Chloe's hand a little to tight with the frustration of Lois's proposal.
"Ouch…Clark, fingers!" Chloe squealed as she tried to release her hand from Clark's death grip.
"Sorry…look Lois I can't have her here…I…we…it's just not convenient to say the least" Clark argued thinking how difficult it would be to explain his unpredictable exits when he has a guest, let alone a stranger in the house with him.
"Come on Clark it wont be for long and I can't keep her at mine, there's just not enough room unless she up for sharing a bed…which I don't think either of us would want" Lois returned, determined to make Clark cave.
"I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have another person in the house, it's not like you haven't got the space Clark, plus I could stay here with you while she's here to help out with 'girly' things" Chloe offered, happy to have a reason to spend more time with Clark than usual.
"Fine…but not for long, it was bad enough when you were staying here let alone having a mini-Lois running around, so how old is she?" Clark asked knowing full well that he had just let Lois win and manipulated him into doing yet something else for her that he didn't want to.
"Thanks smallville you're a life saver. Oh she's um…well…16" Lois carefully stuttered out as she stood dreading Clarks reaction.
"What…great…just great this is gunna be so much fun" Clark was already dreading this, he could just see it now, another girl in the house whose hormones were raging and a bathroom door lock that doesn't work properly…this was going to be interesting to say the least.

The next morning Clark was already up preparing eggs and pancakes for Chloe and himself when the phone rang.
"Hello…"
"Clark great, its Lois…look I have a huge favour to ask, could you go to the airport and pick up Rikki for me…Perry just called and wants me to check out a new lead on Lex and 33.1…"
"Lois! She's your sister and not our responsibility…"
"Please smallville I'm too nervous and girls love you, I would probably scare her that's not what I intend to do…I just need more time to prepare myself…please…"
"Ok ok…what time does her plane get in?" Clark replied knowing he had let her do it again...Why can't I just say no to her?
"Great…um…about 9.30…so in 15 minutes…see you later, call me when you get back…bye" With that Lois was gone and Clark was left standing holding the phone still trying to process everything, when it hit him that she said 15 minutes.
"CHLOE!"
