Could Have
Summary: Mikhail Mxyzptlk's thinks about how he almost got what he wanted. Chloe.
Everything was so perfect. We both had what we wanted. You had a story to print and I told you how to make money. I got to be a mysterious booker in your story and smile about seeing myself mentioned in print. Enjoyed the satisfaction of bending something to my will.
Smallville may be quaint, but it has so many pretty girls. You were the one that grabbed my attention however. Cute, pretty, with that sweet smile, but not lacking in substance. Not some silly little girl. You were smart, that's what makes you such a good reporter. I didn't see it as a threat. I didn't see anything as a threat. If I only had been as smart as you are.
I couldn't resist using my power. Yet you resented me for it. Keep in mind that it was my power that helped you buy those books and be able to go shop for less practical things as well. Not that I can blame you for a little shopping. I used my power to steal away a kiss from you.
Everything could have been perfect. We could have had more.
A stupid farm boy, you helping him, and that damn Luthor for knowing. Kent had the strength to fight me and you had the brains to stop me. What you did made me the most angry. I lost my power, I cannot have my way anymore. If you hadn't interfered...I would have been able to stay. I could have gotten you anything. We could have been together. I could have had you.
