Chloe sat in her desk looking out the window over looking Star City. Chloe got on her computer with the Queen Industries logo and started to through the days work. She liked working at Star City but it was no Metropolis. Sure star city was a busy active city. It even had its own team of super heroes' protecting it that never made it boring. Chloe went through all of her files on her computer and searched all of these data bases to make sure there wasn't any thing fishy going on. She did a lot of computer work at her new job as researcher. She really enjoyed hacking into all of these previous un-hackable systems and she loved finding disasters for those Justice boys to explore. She did get cabin fever a bit. She missed going after stories and investigating things on her own. It was part of her deal with Clark though. While he was training to be the world's greatest superhero she would promise to stay out of trouble and would only help Oliver through her superhacking skills. She also promised not to use her power. There were no problems there. She really didn't feel risking death at the moment. She just felt so left out of everything. She felt like she was just a cheerleader cheering on the sidelines.
Thinking about Clark helped get her through her boring days. And remembering about the moment when he left always helped. Chloe could still feel the warmth of his arms around her and his lips on hers. She kissed him deeply with urgency. Her hands slid through his silky black hair. Then Clark parted the kiss. Chloe knew he had to leave and she was ok with that. She smiled and Clark spoke wistfully, "Chloe."
"Clark, you have to leave now. This is something you have to do."
"I know. But Chloe I have to say something. About what just happened."
"Clark it's ok. It's a perfect way to say good bye."
"I know it is."
Chloe melted.
"But Chloe, I was wondering. If you…Chloe would you wait for me?"
"What do you mean?"
"I think you know what I mean. Chloe I spent all of this time like an idiot. I don't want to come home after my training and see you with some other guy and have you put this kiss in the "it was in the moment" category.
Chloe gave him a side way glance.
"I love you Chloe."
Chloe almost leaped with joy but contained herself and burst with a wide toothy grin.
"I love you too. Clark. And yes. I'll wait for you. I've waited this long what's a little while longer?"
Clark gave her a giddy grin. Then he wisped her in his arms and gave her one last kiss.
Chloe came back to her life in the present. She only wished he had some excitement to pass the time. She knew she did her part to help the cause of Justice she only wished she could do more. Then her phone rang.
"Hello" Chloe answered.
"Hey, it's Ollie."
"Hey boss. Do you need me on mission or something? Please tell me you need the Watch Tower today. I am so bored."
"Well you could call it a mission."
Chloe didn't like the sound of this.
Oliver continued, "There's this reporter he's been asking a lot of questions he's a little overzealous. And I granted him an interview with my new spokes person."
"Oh. And you're telling me this Why?"
"Congratulations Chloe you've been promoted!"
Chloe moaned, "No Ollie, please I don't want to talk to some reporter. Don't you have people to do this kind of thing?"
"You're right I do. I'm talking to her."
"I mean other people. Like people in the PR department or something."
"Yes I do but I really don't him to be asking the PR department any more of the kinds of questions he's been asking."
"Oh great what kind of questions?"
"Oh things about Star Labs and a lot of the suspicious activity that's been going on w/ Meta Human's. At least that's what he is calling them."
"Oh so basically you want me to cover you're ass."
"Well you're really good at it."
"Ollie I'm not feeling really reporter friendly right now. I mean that phase of my life is over."
"I know. You won't be reporting you'll be giving the reporter a very good cover up story. I hear you're really good at that Chloe."
Chloe sighed.
"Fine you owe me big."
"I'll put it in your raise."
"OK so whose this reporter I'll be talking to? And when am I doing it?"
"His name is George Dean. And you're meeting him at the café down the corner right now. Have fun."
Chloe slammed the phone a couple of times angry. She didn't want to baby sit some lame reporter and tell him lies about the company. She thought now that she worked here and was away from Clark at least she could get a break from lying all of the time. The only friends she had right now were all in the league and now it looked she might end up making a career of lying. She didn't like this one bit. On the bright side at least she wouldn't be bored anymore.
