"Do we have to talk about this?" Chloe groaned tiredly.

"Yes, we do Chlo! How else am I supposed to know if I need to kick some green leather ass?" Lois snapped as she paced along the sofas edge.

They had been having the same conversation for the last- Chloe glanced down at her watch- hour and twenty-three minutes she moaned internally.

"There go my plans for the afternoon." she thought while throwing a scowl Lois' way. "…and I'm telling you he's up to something." Lois said as she glared at a stubborn Chloe. "Don't you care that your man is acting weird…well weirder than normal?"

Chloe sank deeper into the sofas cushions while her hands rubbed her temples attempting to stave off the oncoming headache. "Ollie is not weird. He's a busy man. He runs Queen Industries and he patrols the city stopping crime at night." she said with an exasperated sigh.

Lois rolled her eyes at her Cuz.

She was about to ask if he liked to play 'green leather vigilante and robbers' at night too when she thought better of it. Last time she mentioned her genius theory about Oliver getting off on wearing the outfit to bed Chloe had glared at her and proceeded to throw her out of the apartment. She suspected Oliver wasn't the only one who got off on him playing Green Arrow during their sexy-times.

"Wow that came out of left field but I'm gonna have to be stealthy and sneak a question about a possible leather fetish next time. Yeah, definitely next time."

"Yeah yeah I know but he always managed to find time for the both of you to spend time together. You said so yourself, he's been distant and jumpy lately plus add in all those mysterious calls he keeps receiving...Doesn't that seem suspicious?"

"I don't know Lois. Except for his behavior this last week everything else has been normal."

"I don't know either Cuz that's why we need to investigate this…Chlo-Lo Style!" she grinned mischievously.

"And if there is something going on I'm gonna drop-kick his rich ass! Then I'm gonna tell Smallville and the rest of your Super Dude Crew so they can get a piece of the action. No one messes with my Baby Cuz!" she said with a steely look in her eyes and smirk on her lips.

Chloe's lips twitched and she finally gave up trying to reason with her obviously insane cousin.

"Fine."

"Yes!" Lois cheered. "Now I just need to get our supplies." She grinned widely.

"Supplies?" Chloe asked with a puzzled look.

"Yeah supplies. Night vision goggles, listening devices, you know the whole nine yards. Get your head in the game Baby Cuz!"

"Lois we have everything needed for a covert operation here." Chloe said as if she was talking to a child.

"No offense Cuz but all that stuff has been tainted with Queen Germs." Chloe made a disgruntled sound and glared at her cousin. With her hands held out in a 'my bad' pose Lois explained that one of the perks of being a generals daughter was getting all the fun "party favors" the Army had to offer.

"I've been preparing for a situation like this one since I was fourteen and started stockpiling my goodies." she admitted with a satisfied look.

As Lois walked away Chloe heard her grumbling about whether or not she should "pull out the big guns". Chloe hoped to God or anyone else listening out there, that for Oliver's sake Lois didn't mean real guns. If she did then Chloe was sure she would find an excuse to brandish them and scare Oliver half to death whether he deserved it or not.

From outside the apartment where he had been standing for the last twelve minutes Clark grimaced as if in pain. Lois was crazy and he knew it. She would absolutely bring out guns! Big guns! He super sped to Oliver's office. He needed to tell him that he better move his surprise up to soon. Really soon. If he didn't he might not survive long enough to propose and all his plans and secrecy would be wasted.

As Clark arrived at Oliver's office he urgently called out, "Oliver we need to talk…"
