The old man was not surprised by their entrance because of the screen. Clark took the notebook from him and skimmed it.

"I'm sure the police will be interested in seeing this."

"You could turn me in, but I don't think you will."

"Watch me."

"No, watch this."

He brought Clark onto the screen from earlier. It showed him super speeding to Lois and crushing the knife. Clark was surprised when he didn't feel Lois' arm around him anymore. She started backing away from him.

"What's the matter?" he asked her, as if he didn't know.

"Thou hast magic. Thou sold thy soul to the devil."

"It's not magic."

"Then how canst thou perform thy feats and have it be on a moving picture?"

"It's hard to explain, Lois. I'll tell you later."

"I think thou art not my husband after all. Thou canst not even say mine name. Thou art a demon from hell."

He was a little hurt by her fearful reaction but reminded himself that it wasn't really Lois. "I have to care of this situation. Please, just don't leave the room."

She stopped reaching for the door and fell back against the wall. She didn't want to make somebody with magical powers angry.

"What makes you think that something won't happen to the tape?" Clark asked.

"You could destroy the tape, but I'll still know what I saw, and I'm sure someone will believe me."

"I don't care what you tell or show everyone. Those people out there have to be returned to normal."

"Or what?"

"I'll still call the police, and you'll be arrested for your experiment."

"I'll make a deal with you. You don't put me in prison, and I'll give you the chemical that can cancel out the other's effect. You better make your decision fast because once it's been in their system for a few hours, their condition cannot be reversed."

Clark didn't like the deal, but people's lives were in danger. He could figure out how to deal with the mad scientist later.

"Fine. Now where's the cure?"

"In the Arctic."

"I can get there in time. What does it look like?"

He told Clark where and what it was. Clark was back almost instantly. He took Lois into the room with everyone else and released the stuff all around the club. It made everyone pass out for a few minutes and during that time, the bouncer and bartender went to jail, and he still kept his promise by putting the chemist into a mental institution. He waited by Lois' side until she woke up. At last she sat up and looked around.

"Where am I?" she asked. "Wait, I remember that. What are you doing here, Smallville?"

"You don't remember what happened?" he asked in a relieved voice.

"No."

"You know what they say. Weird things happen on all Hallow's Eve. You wouldn't believe it if I told you anyway."

"That doesn't mean I don't want to hear about it."

"How about I give you an exclusive tomorrow, and everybody can read about what happened in the paper." 'Or most of what happened anyhow,' he added in his head.

"Okay. I guess I'll agree to that. Where's Ollie?" she asked, looking through the sea of confused people.

"There you are, Lois," Oliver said, "I have some business to take care of. I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow then," she replied.

"Lois, can I ride home with you?" Clark asked. "I didn't bring my car."

"What did you do? Walk here?"

"I took a taxi."

It might've been stupid to tell her he didn't take his truck, but he wanted to ride with her. He needed her to make him laugh and show that she wasn't afraid of him.

"Let's go. You can give me all the details on the way home and by the way, did you know that you didn't even dress up to come here, Clark. I must admit, however, that plaid has its own kind of scariness."

"It's good I didn't dress up, and I'm definitely going as Clark Kent next year."

"How creative and what a coincidence! I was planning on going as Lois Lane next year. We could go together," she said in her teasing tone.

Everyone left the club. It's too bad that no one saw the werewolf, who had left the building and thereby escaped the treatment. He left to bring terror to Metropolis. Perhaps though that wasn't quite as scary as the level of anger Lex and Lana were going to feel when someone let them out of the bathroom.

The End

Happy Halloween!
