Clark walked away from Jimmy and Chloe who were standing a foot apart staring nervously at each other. Clark went to the Daily Planet stairwell and before he could help himself he used his x-ray vision to see how Jimmy and Chloe were doing. He saw Chloe hugging Jimmy with a stark wide glowing smile on her face. Clark tilted his head using his super hearing and heard Jimmy said, "Did you miss me?"
Then Chloe gave him this sweet tender kiss. Clark then shut his super hearing and x-ray vision off. There were plenty people coming going up the stairs Clark started walking in a steady pace with every one else around him. Clark smiled a little. He was very happy for Chloe. If anyone deserved happiness it was her. Jimmy seemed to make Chloe happy and he was glad he could help bring them together. It was the least he could do after all that Chloe has done for him. He knew they had broken up because of him and Chloe protecting his secret. He hated that his secret ruined so many people's lives. He had pushed Lana away because of it and he didn't want the same thing to happen to Chloe too. She had meant so much to him he didn't know what he would do without Chloe. He had this fear that Chloe would one day wake up and see that he was not worth her protecting anymore that she would cut her ties with Clark so she could have a normal relationship with Jimmy. Clark understood that because he wanted to be normal for so long.
Clark remembered the first time he saw Jimmy. Unknown to Chloe or Jimmy the first time Clark had laid eyes on Jimmy wasn't when Chloe introduced them after Dark Thursday. Clark had seen him years ago at the club Atlantis. He had seen him there dancing hot and heavy with a very scantily clad Chloe. He did not like to dwell on this time in his life. It was a very dark and dreary time when he ran away and got high on red-K. He tried to extract that summer from his memory he hated knowing of the horrible things he was capable of. Lately he started thinking of all of the times he was on red-k and what his mom said about it releasing apart of him. Since not a week ago he had found himself on red- k feeling horrible of all of the things he had done. It was a disturbing thought that's what brought that summer to his mind.
Jimmy was much shorter then now and he looked like he was way overdressed trying to fit into a place like that and trying to look like he was old enough to be there. He was seating at the bar in his usual spot drinking vodka staring dangerously at the scene. He took another quick shot and then very coolly strode to the dance floor.
Chloe's hair was much different then he last seen it. It was more short and scattered wildly all over her head and it was a very white bleached color of blonde. He could smell the bleach of her hair along with the smell of alcohol all over her. As he walked through the crowd his eyes was fixed on her and it was obvious she did not see him.
He watched her putting her hands all over her dance partners chest. As she moved up against him towards the beat. Kal had had enough he went straight to her and when he was just about to confront her he seen some of these unscrupulous characters that he noticed following him before. He smugly walked out purposely letting them following him out of the club and into an alley.
One guy with long unruly curly blonde hair came out with couple of other thugs following him.
Kal was annoyed by this and said, "What do you want? Why are you following me?"
"You've been interrupting our business and our boss has a bone to pick with you."
Kal tilted his head with a smirk, "That's nice but I'm not looking for employment right now."
One taller muscular thug wearing a black muscle shirt showed himself to Kal revealing his brass knuckles.
Kal smirked and laughed, "Is that supposed to scare me?"
"Your bad for business every criminal in this town is owned y Morgan Edge."
The bigger bulky guy bunched his hand with his brace knuckles. His hand began to bleed.
Kal laughed, "I see your point. But you know I'm really busy at the moment so..." He lifted the two thugs up by there necks and threw them across the alley landing on a dumpster unconscious.
The blonde guy ran away.
"Smart choice." Kal said as he clapped his hands together.
"Now where was I? Oh yeah." He head to the back door when he heard voices he super sped behind the dumpster. He heard giggling. It was Chloe he looked through the dumpster with his x-ray vision until the view of Chloe was clear. She decked this punk kid he had seen her with earlier. She had decked him against the brick wall kissing him. She then started to unbutton his shirt.
The boy squirmed, "Chloe your really drunk. I don't want to take advantage."
"Oh come on Jimmy." She said kissing his neck.
She looked up at him batting her eyes, "Don't you like me?"
"Oh, yeah, big time from the first moment I saw you but I...I...don't want to take advantage."
"Awe...Your sooo...so...like him. He was nob...nob...le ...a good guy too." She stuttered and then she looked down, "At times."
Jimmy lifted her head, "Chloe are you ok...Who are you talking about?"
She started to fall over Jimmy caught her. Her eyes closed and then they opened, "Awe you look just like him."
"Like who?"
"Super boy."
She then passed out.
