A/N: I'm writing this story to challenge myself. Original character Alert! This takes place at the beginning of season three between Phoenix and Extinction. I don't know how far I'm going to take this fic but it could go from season four to ten depends. Also I hear there is a very thin line between a great character and a Mary Sue. that said I ask my reader if you ever feel that I crossed that line please let me know.
Harry knew he shouldn't be doing it. In fact every cell in Harry's body told him he should end this game of cat mouse by standing up. Apologize for the wild goose chase and tell the security guard he was a sophomore at Smallville high and got separated from his guide and fellow students. And if things went well he's ask the security guard if he could help him find his fellow students and tour guide.
But Harry didn't, He couldn't she was depending on Him. She was Chloe Sullivan, Ace reporter of the Torch and he was Harry , the only photographer from the Torch dumb enough to Fallow her around on her wild goose chasses. You may ask why Chloe and Harry were both crouched under desks in the research and development department of Lex Corp. The truth was Chloe got a hot tip from an anonymous source that Lex Corp. was doing unlawful experiments.
"I'm here to expose the truth" Chloe said. Harry on the other hand was here because he was head over heels in love with Chloe and hoped this stunt would maybe get her to see him as more than just a dim witted sidekick.
Harry closed his eyes and held his breath. The security guard had shown his flash light on him. Harry had sworn the light had given away his position away. He was sure he was caught, but he didn't hear the security guard call for him to come out from hiding, he didn't feel his strong grip tighten around his shoulders and pull him from his hiding place. It felt like an eternity but the beam of hot light soon passed over him
"Harry" called a soft voice "Harry, come on lets go" Chloe called letting Harry know the threat had passed. Harry opened his eyes and nodded crawling out from under the work desk he made his hiding place. Harry took a moment to stretch harry heard two solid pops in his back and felt a wave of relief. "I don't know how you fit in their as tall as you are." Chloe muttered as she began to lead the way out of the darkened office. Harry quickly fallowed but Chloe stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face Harry and pointed an accusing finger. "You forgot your camera didn't you" Harry took one look down at his chest sure enough it was missing. Harry forgot he had taken it off and placed it on the desk as he attempted to fit into such a small space.
"I'll go get it." Harry turned around and quickly fetched His camera. In moments Harry was at Chloe's side camera tied to his neck by its safety strap.
"Hold on" Chloe said as she pulled out a map of the facility that Harry assumed she confiscated from her father one of the plants many managers. She shown a miniature flashlight on her map. "This way" She said leading Harry into a dark corridor, then led him through a series of other corridors that looked the same.
"Chloe are we lost" Harry asked after several minutes. Chloe turned around and shown the flashlight in Harry's face He could barely make it out because of the light but Harry was sure she looked she was scrawling feeling insulted the idea of Chloe leading the astray was even remotely possible.
"No I know exactly where we are" She said confidently, she looked down at her map and her confidence waivered for just a second "Just not fully sure where we are going." She then turned around and continued walking.
Normally the idea of walking aimlessly with only Chloe for hours would sound like a dream. Admittedly Harry would make one alteration Chloe would be wearing Last year's Ms. December Swimsuit. Harry's dreams were put aside as the fear of being caught and becoming a test subject in the very experiments he and Chloe were trying to expose overwhelmed him. Harry was so lost in thought of the grotess experimentation that they would be subjected too. Harry didn't notice Chloe stop abruptly. Harry crashed into Chloe and the two tumbled to the ground. Harry's tried his best to catch himself and Chloe.
"Harry" Chloe whispered.
"Yeah" Harry asked hoisting Chloe up. Chloe was now standing on her own two feet but Harry held her close regardless. Chloe turned her head slightly so now her face was inches from Harry's. Their eyes were locked, Chloe's face was quickly changing shades of red. Reading signals Harry closed his eyes and his face inched closer to hers.
"I'm up" Chloe whispered "You can let go of my chest now." Harry's eyes shot open, He wasn't paying much attention when he made a grab for Chloe. Sure enough both of his hands were firmly planted on her chest. "I said you can let go now."
Both of Harry's hands shot up into the air and he took two steps away from Chloe, on his third step he stepped on her flashlight and lost his balance. In an attempt to catch himself Harry reached out for a service pipe. To his surprise the pipe gave way under his weight he stumbled back as the wall seemed to part from itself.
Immediately Harry had assumed the wall had crumbled and he was doing calculations how much it would cost him to repair the wall. Chloe on the other hadn't been fooled. "A secret entrance" She whispered. Chloe pressed against the wall with both hands causing it to slide to the side revealing a small elevator entrance.
"Is this what we were looking for?" Harry asked as he fallowed Chloe into the secret room.
"I think so" Chloe said pressing the button to summon the elevator. The elevator door opened on arrival, "You coming?" Chloe asked.
Harry swallowed the lump in his throat then nodded. Harry stepped into the elevator next to Chloe. "No Level 3" Harry said as he noticed two buttons one marked one the other with a two. Chloe only grinned and pressed a button Harry hadn't seen. It was transparent right under the two. As she pressed it, the button started to glow and now it could be seen clear as day. The button was marked with a 3. "Wow, Your cool." Harry quipped as the elevator started to hum. He grabbed ahold of His camera as the elevator doors started to open.
