ATTENTION: I own nothing. I write for the fun and enjoyment of it. I know that I have some other unfinished work that I know a lot of you are waiting for me to finish, and I hope to sit down one day and write every one of them to a finish. I work 9-6 and I go to school, I have a screenplay that I am working on and a novel and I have a wonderful husband whom I love and adore. I will write all the other stories for you guys. Just be patient with me. I was thinking today and I got an ideal for this story, I hope that you like and review.
It was five in the morning and the alarm clock was playing a loud version of 'Jay-Z'. Chloe moaned as she rolled over to see the empty side of the bed. Oliver was sitting in the chair by the window, sliding on his shoes.
"Good morning, sunshine." He said, smiling over at her. "You sleep alright?" He made his way over to her, kissing her softly.
"Like a queen." She laughed.
He nodded with a grin. "Your one beautiful queen, Mrs. Queen."
"So where are you off too so early?"
Oliver stood up and walked over to the dresser grabbing his watch. Not the nice, expensive one that he wore daily, but the special one he had made for missions. Chloe hopped out of bed like a child at Christmas. She hadn't been in watchtower mode for months. Oliver had taken away all of her duties and gave them to Victor for the time being. It was totally against Chloe's will, but she gave in.
"You have an assignment don't you." She asked.
He looked down into her hazel eyes, that gleamed like the stars above. "Chloe, you really should go back to bed and get some sleep." He said as he lead her back over to the bed.
"Ollie, I am not two years old." She protested. "You treat me like I am porcelain or something."
He grinned. "This is porcelain." He said as his hand rubbed slightly over her belly. She was five months pregnant and Oliver didn't want to put any strain on her and the baby.
"I know, it's just I get so bored sitting here all the time."
"Go to the movies with Lois. Call her over and you girls have a party." He brushed her cheek. "That's why I bought you this farm next to the Kent's, so that you could be near family."
"I know and I am grateful, but I…."
Oliver swooped down and picked her up before she could say another word. "You're going back to bed, Mrs. Queen and that's final. You and my son are going to be safe." He laid her down on the bed and covered her up. He kissed her on the forehead and turned towards the door. "I'll see you later." He closed the door behind him.

Chloe sat at the kitchen table reading the morning paper as she drank her glass of orange juice. The kitchen door flew open and Chloe turned to see Lois with two big bags in her hands.
"Hey, cuz." She said.
"What are you up too?" Chloe asked as she walked over to the fridge to refill her glass.
Lois tossed the bags on the counter and began to unpack them. "Well, I was going to make this huge dinner for Clark tonight, you know for our anniversary. But he says that he has things to do with Ollie. Can you believe that? I mean does he know what he is passing up?"
Chloe chuckled. "Obviously not."
"Anyway, I thought that we could spend the day together." She tossed Chloe a muffin.
"Actually, Lois… I have something to do today."
Lois's smile faded. Was everyone abandoning her today? "Well, maybe I can go with."
Chloe took a bite of her muffin. She wanted to be alone, but she didn't have a choice. Lois was not the type to take no for an answer.

Lois was surprised when she entered the watchtower. She had no idea that this place even existed, and especially that Chloe was the owner. She stood in the doorway looking with her mouth wide opened. Chloe just grinned as she entered and walked over to her desk. She rubbed her stomach and then turn to begin work.
"So why did you keep this place from me?" Lois finally said.
Chloe shrugged. "You never asked."
"This place is super cool." She begin to investigate.
"And totally off limits for a certain blonde." Victor said as he walked down the stairs.
Chloe sighed. She figured that Victor would be gone out on the mission with them. "Victor,"
"Chloe," His voice was deep and stern. "Oliver will have my neck if he finds out that you're here."
"Well, we don't have to tell him." She said getting back to work.
"Hey, Lois."
"Victor,"
Chloe's eyes got big. "Oh my…."
Victor and Lois walked around the desk to look at what Chloe was seeing.
"Is that…." Lois started to say, but the door behind her opened.
Everyone turned to see Lex Luther standing in the door way with a gun.
"Lex," Victor said, pushing both Chloe and Lois behind him.
"Well, well… the loves of Oliver and Clarks lives right here together. You guys make it so easy to be me." Lex said.
"I thought someone blew your sorry ass to the moon." Lois snapped from behind Victor.
Lex laughed. "Yeah, well a clone of me." He walked closer to Victor.
"Look, man. You should go." Victor said walking backwards pushing Lois and Chloe around the desk.
"I aint going nowhere."

Clark and Oliver entered the Kent house. Bart and Dinah followed. Bart of course went straight to the fridge as Oliver and Clark sat their gear down on the counter.
Dinah sat at the bar grabbing a slice of pie from Bart.
"What a total waste. I was for sure he was there." Oliver said.
"We'll get him soon." Clark patted Oliver on the back.
The front door opened and a wounded Victor entered. His right arm was shredded exposing the wires within.
"Victor," Clark said as he and Oliver rushed over to him.
"It's Chloe and Lois." He was out of breath.
Oliver pushed Clark out of the way. "What about Chloe?"
"Lex showed up at the tower and Lois and Chloe were there."
"What?" Oliver said, confused.
"He shot Lois in the shoulder." He looked into Oliver's eyes. "Chloe is pretty bad. She is at the hospital."
Oliver's heart fell into the pit of his stomach. He started toward the door. He paused. "Bart, Dinah, get Victor to Star City and get him taken care of. Then get to the hospital as soon as possible."
Clark grabbed Oliver by the hand. He knew if he used his powers they would be at the hospital faster.
