A/N: This story takes place during season 7 of Smallville & season 2 of Supernatural.
In the basement of the Dailey Planet a small, frustrated blond was sitting, hidden and practically buried underneath a whole stack of documents.
Chloe Sullivan was beyond annoyed. She had spent the last two days trying to find a lead on a story that would impress her new editor. And so far all she had found was an entire new level of frustration. The entire thing was so boring that she didn't even try to stifle the yawns of boredom and tiredness anymore. Reluctantly she decided to leave the stacks of documents and go back to monitoring the files on her computer.
Chloe was one of the first to admit that life was unfair. She had spent her entire life working so hard to become the best damn investigative reporter for the Dailey Planet. Yet, here she was stuck in the basement leafing through old, dusty documents while surprising enough her cousin Lois (who only just decided recently out of the blue to choose journalism as a profession) was out of Metropolis busy getting dirt in the mayor.
Tiredly Chloe tried to finish her job. Her fingers rapidly clicked on the mouse, accessing different files as her eyes lazily skimmed through the provided information. She halted for a moment as something caught her eyes.
"O.K" she muttered to herself "Now that's weird."
Her green eyes flickered in excitement as she read the files. This was her kind of story, the weird and unexplained. Her curiosity was quickly and clearly getting the best of her. She couldn't help but smile to herself.
"I think I just got myself a story." She whispered, and only the silence of the vacant room answered back.
The smell of coffee and sound of traffic was the same as any usual day. But to Chloe Sullivan this was no usual day. She quickly made it to her editor's office making no stop or detours on the way. She raised her hand and took a deep breath ready to knock on the door.
"SULLIVAN." A voice boomed.
The door opened wide before her knuckles even came in contact with the wooden surface.
"Make it quick Sullivan, as you may know I haven't got all day" he said as he strolled to his desk. He leaned back against the desk his arms crossed over his chest.
"So what is it you've got for me?" He asked
"It's a new story" Chloe answered handing him a folder she had put together.
Wordlessly he took the folder. He's eyebrows deepened in concentration as he read detailed preview. Chloe took the opportunity to study him more as he read her work. He was indeed handsome and quite young for someone of his position about the age of 26-27 she estimated. His dark brown hair was cut short and businesslike and his deep blue eyes seemed to notice every detail. When he finished he stared deeply at her as if trying to figure out some deep mystery.
"No."
Chloe was shocked.
"Sorry?"
"You heard me Sullivan." He replied as he stood up to give her back her folder.
"Why not then?"
"I for one" he stated "Am not having you chase some rumor all the way to nowhere"
"It's not just some rumor. I mean, you saw the facts."
"The answers still no." he insisted.
"Trust me Grant. This story will benefit both you and the Planet. It even fits all your requirements."
Grant just looked at her.
"Looks like you have a lot more persuading to do" He said calmly. Chloe watched disappointedly as he walked out of his office.
Two minutes later she decided to followed his suit. Although when she opened the door she didn't realize someone was right outside. She yelped in surprise as she nearly knocked over a small mousy brunette. Chloe couldn't remember a name but she knew for certain this was Grant's P.A.
"That's Grants right" she said pointing at the coffee and bagel the woman was busy trying not to spill. She didn't bother with greetings.
"Yeah" the woman said hesitantly.
"Perfect" Chloe replied smiling brightly. "I'll make sure he gets it"
Chloe smiled at her as she took the same corridor Grant went by earlier.
