As it turned out, his mother wasn't the only one resurrected by the crystal; Zor-El, Kara's father, had been brought back as well. And he was someone they had to be wary of if him roughing up Lionel to find Lara was any indication.
Oliver's condo was the safest place Clark could think of to take his mother while he went to meet Kara to try and decide what the best course of action was. Lara told him that he'd been raised well and gave him his father's victory ring, a symbol of his membership to the Council. It was tradition, she said, for it to be given to the first born son when he came of age.
Clark wasn't going to let anything happen to her.
Zor-El had other plans and was waiting for him outside, Kara having told him where they were. It didn't exactly go Clark's way, especially when he discovered he had no powers. Being thrown into a car and coming away bleeding from it was a pretty good indication. So was the pain.
"If I had raised you, you would understand about duty and responsibility."
It was the ring, Zor-El explained, a blue Kryptonian mineral that robs them of their powers under a yellow sun. And it wouldn't come off. Clark realized that he'd used Lara - and Clark - to get him to use the crystal in the Fortress to release his uncle, all part of a grander plan to take over Earth.

"Kal-El, the blood of the House of El runs through your veins just as it does mine. As much as you want to deny it, your destiny is to rule. And we can do that together as a family."
"You're not my family."
He was spared that jab. His mother, however, was not. Zor-El took Lara and Clark could only assume it was to the Fortress. And he was stuck in Metropolis with no powers. Or a car.
Chloe was happy enough to lend a hand, and a steering wheel, to get him to the farm. Still, the ring would not come off despite Clark's best efforts with an electric sander, which Chloe wasn't really on board with. He'd just have to figure something else out - and quickly.
An eclipse was starting. A very unscheduled solar eclipse. There was only one rational explanation.
