Jealousy
'And what do you do Clark, you sit around all day in domestic bliss curled up on a couch; while a world of trouble spin's outside your door!'
Davis was in the basement of a near by abandoned Luthor Corp. facility on the outskirt's of Star-city flicking through some old photo's of the Meteor Infected through Chloe's school life. His eyes widening at the very thought that there were more people that had problem's than he realised, he had always thought that their was a limited number of meteor infected but after finding Chloe's scrapbook he proved himself wrong.
Chloe came down the stairs wearing her red overcoat that caught Davis's eye, he closed the books in front of him and looked up with admiration, she had obviously given up so much to be with him, how could he ever repay her? How could he ever say thank you!
She made her way up to him, at this point Davis could not resist the urge to say something smart.
"Guess im not the first guy to offer you a walk on the weird side huh? You're a hell of a writer!" stroking her EGO immediately afterward.
"That was written a long time ago, like another life time ago" she replied with a smile that could light up a room.
"But I can still hear the same Chloe and more than a little Clark, did you guy's ever…share more than a by-line in school?" Chloe looked at Davis with a sad expression that said it all.
"Nothing that would make page one, but here's a headline you might like, I called a doctor today, one who was very familiar with people like you!" Davis got up agitated contemplating whether this was a good thing or not after all he has never had to visit a doctor.
"Chloe … after…everything that we've tried…ive finally accepted it there is no cure on earth, not for an alien."
"Maybe not for a MD who specializes in humans, but this guy has a doctorate in otherworldly disorders"
"You really think that patient confidentiality is going to apply to me! Once they find out my secret their going to throw me in a cage … their going to study me!"
"No Davis its not like that, when I watched you die in that lab it was like the meteor rock was killing a part of me, now I am not going to let anything like that hurt you again!"
"Neither will I, things have changed Chloe ive had a lot of time to sit down here and think about you, and me and feeling's that I get when im around you, you can save me, but you're the only one. I can't count on anyone else; so no doctor's, Chloe... again...thank you for everything, this goes beyond friendship, I've never had anyone look out for me like this before"
"Davis you know I'd do anything for you" Chloe could not bare the lie's, her thought's dwelled to Clark, he was the real reason she was doing this, after all as she said to him, he wasn't sent here to save one person he was here to save all of them.
"When I was … younger, when I was alone in those orphanage's I always dreamt of finding someone that could love me like you do, and now I've found you I never want to let you go" Davis stroked the side's of Chloe's face.
"Davis …"
"No … Chloe listen to me, I just … I just want to be with you for the rest of my life, you make me feel . . . Human."
"I'm not going anywhere, don't worry" Chloe turned to wipe the single tear that dwelled within the corner of her right eye.
"Thank you"
"Right so no doctor's, ok ill see you later!" Chloe said.
"Ok see ya" Davis turned and went back to his book's Chloe meanwhile started her ascent out of the basement and took one of the bottles Davis had been drinking from with her, to take to DR. Emil she walked out of the basement and closed the door.
Luthor Corp Plaza
Oliver and Tess the CEO's of both Queen Industries and Luthor Corp. shared a dance floor at a ball and gown dance in the Luthor Corp. plaza, Oliver dressed very smartly in a black tuxedo. Tess in her beautiful red dress, trailing down to her Dorothy 'no place like home shoe's' she was a sight to be hold.
"Well Miss Mercer. I must say you do look ravishing tonight."
"You don't look too bad yourself, you could almost pass for a man with good taste" She smile's sarcastically as her gaze wander's around the room, with that Oliver saw Lois Lane walk into the Plaza his gaze moved from Tess to Lois within a split second.
Lois was wearing a dark blue satin-laced dress; with blue high heeled boots. her hair tied back in a bun, all attention diverted to her, Tess turned to look and felt Oliver's grip loosen, when that happened Oliver paced over toward her and stopped when he saw Clark step to the side of her.
Zatanna had just finished on stage, her magic act got applause from everyone in the room.
Oliver diverted his walk to the bar instead, Clark followed him over. At the same time Zatanna walk's over to Lois smiling.
"Dollar for your thought's" Zatanna Asked.
"I'm ok I guess, just a lot on my mind" Lois replied.
"So which one are you? Chloe or Lois?" She said jokingly.
"Sorry?" Lois replied with an inquisitive tone.
"Oh erm … Nothing …" Zatanna stopped she obviously thought that Chloe might have told Lois about there little switch a roo.
"So you're the one Oliver speaks so highly of I can see why… your quite the totty" Lois said eyeing her up and down.
"Thank you, but Oliver can't stop talking about you."
"Really?" Lois replied.
"Yes" She laugh's "Really, Really"
"Wow, well nice to meet you Zatanna but im actually here on work so I better go make a name for myself never know might be my beautiful mug on one of metropolis's Busses instead of your's."
"Nice meeting you to Lois" Zatanna walked off… her direction in tune with that of Oliver and Clark's location within the bar.
"Oliver … how's the crowd treating you tonight" Clark walked over with a smile on his face, his eye's scanning the room for anyone else he knew. Then his gaze flicked from the open space to the glass in Ollie's hand.
"Clark, nice to see your keeping my ex happy, of course then again that's all you've got time for"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know what it mean's, what are you doing to find Chloe and Davis"
"Everything I can" he whisper's in a harsh tone.
"Really, with all those power's I cant believe you haven't found them yet, it's time for you to step up."
"Shh… What's wrong with you Oliver, lately it seems every time someone see's you, you've got a drink in your hand's maybe im not the one who need's to step up"
"Now boys don't fight," a young yet angelic voice said from behind them. Both of them looking round.
"Zatanna, what are you doing here"
"I invited her Clark, after-all this is my party."
"Whoa what's with the 'Tude?'
"I think he's had a bit too much to drink"
"I know when I've had enough to drink Clark thank you!"
"Ooo. Well as much as I like male testosterone I think I better go!"
"Don't worry Clark was just leaving, you can stay" Oliver said with an unpleasant tone, directing an evil glare in Clark's direction.
"Aw no! Clark stay…"
"I don't think so, Oliver's made it pretty clear that he doesn't want me here, Night Zatanna it was nice seeing you again"
Clark went to walk off; Zatanna sensed something within Oliver was he about to make a wish? Oliver's feelings for Clark had always been so intense and now Oliver was 'loosened up' he could let his feelings out"
"Clark, you just don't understand, with someone with potential like your's I wish . . . I wish I had your power's man, you can do thing's that I can't even dream of." Zatanna's eye's lit up as she heard Ollie's wish and she whispered her magic word's
"Annataz ni siloportem"
"Remember that day I told you that some of us give up the things we want the most to go out and make a difference, well some of us are still doing that, feel free to join in anytime." he continued.
Ollie's eye's glowed a bright purple along with Zatanna's he did not notice neither did Clark. Clark walked out of the club straight past Lois.
"Smallville where are you going!"
"Oliver's made it pretty clear he doesn't want me around, so im going to leave"
"Well thanks a lot Smallville.""I need to check on a few thing's I need to make sure Shelby's ok so, stay enjoy the party and I'll pick you up later ok"
"What ever!" Lois Shouted as she stormed off over toward the bar, tear's streaming down her face.
"So Zatanna want a drink?" Ollie turned to look for her but she had disappeared, Ollie was not surprised. She had disappeared on him twice the last time she blew through town.
He turned around and looked at Lois.
"Drink?"
"Ollie as much as this may come as a shock to you I refuse to be your sloppy second's" Lois picks up her bag and walks to the Ladies room across the hall.
"Lois, I never meant it like …, some fund raiser this is, aw well I think I'm going to call it a night" getting up he stumbled over the hall and collapsed in a janitor's closet.
He could hear the hall key's locking the doors from the outside. However, could not find the strength to stand. His eye's closed and he fell asleep at that very moment.
Just outside in the parking lot, Lois awaited Clark's arrival. A Blue Toyota truck came along and parked just outside the door.
"Lois, I'm amazed you can still stand"
"Smallville isn't it past your bed time?"
"Ha ha, without me you have no lift home get in the car, ill take you back to the talon."
Driving along the road's Lois was looking blankly out of the window. Clark notice and turned the heating in the car on, the night grew darker.
"Lois, don't worry we'll find Chloe."
"It just upsets me that my cousin is out their with tall dark and scary, and im sat in a car coming back from a fundraiser.""Im sure where ever she is, she is thinking about you!"
"I hope so, I hope 'The Red-Blue Blur' is doing all he can"
"Im sure he is Lois"
The car pulled up outside the Talon, Clark gave Lois a look and smiled.
"Well thanks for the lift Smallville; I guess I'll talk to you tomorrow" Lois get's out of the car and walks into the talon.
Clark parks around the corner and dial's Lois's phone, plugging in the voice changer, blocking his phone number from coming up on her dial screen.
"Hello, Miss Lane, this is the Red-Blue Blur"
"It's you, thank you for calling, here we are talking and for the first time I don't know what to say to you, im just so worried about my .."
"That's why I called … I called because I want you to know im doing everything I can to find your cousin Chloe!"
"You are?"
"Don't worry Lois, I'll find her!"
"Thank you…you know if their's anything … Anything at all I can do for you just tell me! I mean I know it must get lonely being a hero, and if you ever need a shoulder, please trust me"
"I will, you're the most trustworthy person I know Lois, Goodbye"
"Good bye" Lois put the phone down very slowly, and smiled.
Clark put the phone down, pulling up at home, he super sped into his room changing into his red jacket blue t-shirt and jeans and went on patrol. Speeding through the street's he stops on top of the daily planet and just observes the whole of metropolis.
He turned his head and listened intently with his super hearing to see if he can find any trace of Chloe listening to each sound defining them, trying to make sense of the muffles of people's whispers even with his super hearing he came up empty handed.
Clark has many special ability's here on this earth, but his respect for humanity might also be his greatest weakness. Chloe stopped him from sending Davis to the phantom Zone and Chloe who made him invulnerable by trying to kill him with Kryptonite.
However, Clark's love for Chloe truly was eternal he refused to give up the search not just for Chloe, for Lois and himself. It was only a matter of time before he found her. He just hoped she was alright when he did.
Clark abandoned the search at round about four in the morning, he went home as Shelby came out from behind the sofa, Shelby had been chewing on one his blue t-shirts
"Shelby, naughty boy drop it!"
Shelby dropped the t-shirt with rip marks all over its exterior, Clark picked it up and threw it in the wash and filled Shelby's dish with food before super speeding up and down the stair's getting changed for work
He headed out of the door, and super sped to the daily planet.
