Dsiclaimer: I don't own Smallville.
A Billionaire and a Reporter
Ch.1 Nervousness
Oliver stared at the purple door at upstairs apartment of the Talon. He has been here so many times to pick Lois up for dates he had lost count. It was so easy for him to simply knock on the door and smoothly talk to Lois. Now all he could do was stare nervously. Part of it had to do with that he was not here to see Lois Lane he was here to see her cousin Chloe Sullivan.
He had been away from the Smallville- Metropolis area for months going across the country in pursuit of justice as the Green Arrow. He, along with his team of superheroes, had jumped across the country finding labs of Lex that experimented on people with special abilities. He had not seen Chloe or Lois for months. And now he stood with his clenched fist just inches in front of the door. He was hesitating reeking of nervousness.
He was Oliver Queen playboy billionaire. He did not get nervous. But somehow now that's the only thing he could call what he was feeling. He was clenching with unfathomable nerve. He tried to practice what he would say if Lois were to answer the door. But the words were muddled and confused in his head. He had not left things on the best terms when he left Lois. They had broken up and Lois was pissed. He had always had to leave her when things were just getting interesting to go off and save the world. He knew that he was trying her patience so he thought the trip to Mounte Carlo would help but it didn't because he had to leave to save the world and he could not tell her.
The prospect of talking to Chloe made him even more nervous and confused. He knew he had to talk to her. She had a lot of information on 33.1 the last time they worked together and he knew that she probably had even more information now.
He remembered the first time he had met Chloe. Clark introduced her in the barn. She had a smile that lit up the whole barn. He was nervous then too. For some reason when he first met Chloe he started to feel guilty. He immediately said he needed to go to talk to his girlfriend.
Oliver started to knock on the door very slowly then the door bolted open suddenly and out came Lois with a fierce expression on her face.
"Ollie, what are you doing here?"
"Uh…" Ollie found himself tongue tied for the first time.
"So, what's the deal I thought you wouldn't come back in a while?"
"I know. Can I come in?"
Lois seemed to be contemplating this still seeming angry.
"Fine, but just for a second." Lois said Marching back into the apartment keeping the door open. She marched across the room turning around and folding her arms.
Oliver walks slowly in looking around the room.
"So are you alone here or is Chloe here?"
"No, she's not here. We're alone so tell me what you want to say."
Oliver cleared his throat for along moment and then suddenly Chloe burst through the door. Her hair was scattered everywhere a part of her lime green t-shirt was ripped and her forehead was bleeding.
