They did come

This is the biggest mess ever. Two Kryptonians attacked Lex, and Chloe knows I'm an alien from another planet. I need to wrap my brain around this because just this morning everything wasn't this bad.

I was screening my calls because I didn't want to talk to Lex. He called and I check the message right away, which was good because he was in danger. When I heard him yell for Chloe to run, I ran to the mansion faster than I have ever run in my life. When I got there, I found Lex and Chloe in Lex's office, being attacked by two people. They claimed to be from my home world. They called me Kal-El and they had some my powers. One of them was choking Lex and the other was holding Chloe. I had no choice but to use my abilities in front of her. There wasn't any time to think about what I was doing. Luckily, I was faster than they were and I managed somehow to get Chloe and Lex from them. I stood between them and the alien intruders.

I was ready to kick their asses all the way to the moon. There was no way I was going to let them touch Lex or Chloe again. Then one of them told me that I must join them in taking over the planet and turning Earth into a utopia. I wasn't about to comply with that. They'd already killed Lex's security guards. I told them I would never let them harm anyone else again, and they said that some humans would have to be sacrificed for the greater good.

I yelled for Lex and Chloe to get out, and then I threw the guy across the room and the girl punched me in the face. Her blow actually drew blood. She was strong, but I was stronger than both of them. Then I tried to stop them with my heat vision, but that barely slowed them down. The girl pulled something off her wrist and said that if I wouldn't join them then they would exile me to the Phantom Zone. The device from her wrist turned out to be some kind of portal to another dimension or something. They tried to throw me in, but I managed to punch a hole in the floor and held on until I could grab one of them and toss them in the portal. I was stunned and terrified when I saw Lex push the girl towards the portal. He waited for an opportunity when she wasn't looking at him and took it. My heart almost stopped and everything seemed to freeze as I watched Lex tumble toward the hole. I managed to catch him before he followed her into the depths of the Zone. I've never been so glad to have fast reflexes. Even though they were way more powerful than him, Lex had risked his life. I was amazed at his bravery.

I don't know why or how, but the portal closed behind them and then vanished.

When the dust settled, I saw that Lex's office was totally trashed and Chloe was staring at me with this look of horror in her eyes. She'd seen it all. She's seen me use my abilities and heard those people call me by my given name.

We stood there in silence. I made the choice to tell Chloe the truth and she stood listening to my story. Then she vowed to keep my secret no matter what. I'm still scared because I've known her for so long and now she knows about me. She looked at me differently. I could tell she didn't see Clark anymore. Then she asked why I look so human, and I told her there's a lot about my people that I don't know. She confessed that she's always suspected there was something different about me, but not this. Then she told me that last year she'd seen me catch a car like it was a beach ball.

I can't believe that Chloe knows about me.
