Chapter 1

"Okay, it's official, I love being a spy." Lois said as the team walked into the courtyard facing the four story mansion that would be their new home. It had eight bedrooms, a game room, gym, shooting range, a pool in the backyard, and even the setup for Castle. Then there was the garage full of cars, everything from DB9's to Gran Torino Cobra's. Clark smirked and unconsciously fingered the rosary around his neck. Sarah saw the action, but didn't say anything. Her boyfriend slash husband had never stuck her as particularly religious but he always wore the rosary, and she had never asked him why.

"I'm supposed to be a wealthy young bussinesman remember? These are just the trappings of the job." Clark replied, smiling as he saw Chloe and Lois race into the building, already claiming rooms as their own.

"Remind me how I got roped into this little outfit?" Casey asked with a smile, making Clark and Sarah grin in return.

"You heard about all the guns they've got on the second floor shooting range." Sarah replied easily, and Casey walked quickly into the house, obviously eager to see what kind of hardware they would be dealing with.

"I'm surprised you're not in there trying to claim a room or explore the house."

"Honestly? The house is nice but it's just a cover and as for claiming a room I really couldn't care less as long as you're in the bed with me." He finished with a grin, making Sarah smile in return and kiss him softly on the lips.

"Flattery will get you everywhere Mr. Carmichael. Now, what do you say we take one of the cars for a spin, maybe grab some lunch?"

"That sounds like a perfect idea Mrs. Carmichael." He replied, taking her hand and leading her to the garage. He bypassed several cars, giving one a particularly nasty look, or so Sarah thought, before coming to a stop at a dark blue Ferrari. He opened the passenger door and Sarah got in, shutting the door behind her as Clark got in on the driver's side door.

"Hang on." Clark said and he tore out of the garage, the car easily reaching ninety miles an hour in under six seconds. Sarah felt herself pushed back against her seat, but couldn't help but smile when she saw the grin on Clark's face. The drive continued like that for another twenty minutes before Clark finally pulled into an italian bistro. Once they had ordered(Veal for Clark and Chicken Parmesian for Sarah) Sarah looked at Clark and spoke.

"Where the hell did you learn to drive? I mean, I learned more than your usual defensive driving from the Farm, but what you did is on a whole different level."

Unconsciously Clark found himself touching the rosary, and he sighed before he spoke.

"From the same person who gave me this." He replied, handing her the rosary.

"It was in Metropolis, the summer before we met, and about three weeks after I quit working for Morgan Edge. Green Torino, belonged to a punk named Pheonix who liked to run nitro meth. He also worked for the local drug lord Arcturo Braga."

"The largest cocaine distributer in Mexico." Sarah said and Clark nodded.

"He was at the time. There was an FBI mole who was trying to get into the cartel. Her name is Letty Ortiz. Braga found out that she was FBI, ordered Pheonix to kill her. I was walking out of a bar when I saw him about to shoot her. I took the gun and threw it at his head, probably gave him a concussion. Letty saw what I did, thought she owed me one. She told me she was trying to get her boyfriend a fresh start and I agreed to help her. In exchange, she taught me how to drive. She became like an older sister to me while I was with them."

"What happened?" Sarah asked, still slightly confused.

"Her boyfriend is Dominic Torreto. Dom, Letty, his sister Mia and a then FBI agent named Brian O'connor and I ended up bringing Braga down. Then the FBI went back on their deal and put Dom in jail."

"But I thought he escaped?"

"He did. We broke him out and then went our separate ways. Last I heard from Letty she and Dom had found a nice private island and had no plans to leave anytime soon."

"Anything you haven't told me? Like was there something between you and this Mia?" Sarah asked, and Clark burst out laughing.

"No, not at all. I think of Mia like a sister, and besides I have the only woman I ever want sitting here with me."

"Good answer." She replied, kissing him softly. She moved to hand him the rosary back, but Clark shook his head.

"The day she gave me that, Letty told it to give me to someone special, to the person that I wanted to be with for the rest of my life. I know, and have known for quite some time, that I want that to be you."

"Will you put it on me?" Sarah asked, moving over to where she was sitting on his lap. He softly moved her hair away from her neck and put the rosary there, where it would stay for the rest of their lives.

"She'd like you you know. They all would." He then said something so softly that Sarah didn't catch it, and she turned in her impromptu seat to look at him.

"What was that?"

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking about something Dom always said. Twenty percent angel, eighty percent devil. Somebody who can look past all the bullshit and see the good in someone, and aren't afraid to get some engine grease under their fingernails."

"Are you saying you'd like me to work on your car Clark?" Sarah asked with a raised eyebrow, making Clark grin at the thought.

"Only if we're testing out the seats." He shot back and she smirked before she kissed him heatedly.

"Then maybe we should do that. After all, it would be a shame if the seats got destroyed on a mission."

"Beautiful, bad ass and sexy as hell. What did I ever do to deserve you?" Sarah just kissed him again, and Clark quickly paid the check before the two headed back to the car.

Three hours later they drove back to the house, the seats well and truly tested.

"You know we still have a few hundred more cars to test." Sarah said as they got out of the car, making Clark smirk in reply.

"Walker, Kent-"

"Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael or Charles and Sarah." Clark corrected, and Casey just rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, just get in here. We've got a briefing in five." He replied, and the two followed him into the house where they found Chloe, Lois and Beckman via video conference all waiting on them.

"Now that you are all here we can begin. Tonight a man named Howard Erickson is holding a party at his home just outside of Paris. We believe that he is arranging to meet this woman Sophia Stephanoza, an arms dealer who's cover is a fashion model."

"Did all of your photos have to have her in a bathing suit?" Chloe asked and Lois nodded her agreement. Much to Sarah's relief she saw Clark had barely given the woman a second glance before returning his attention to Beckman.

"Yes while I'm sure we can all appreciate how fetching she is, we need her out of play. Clark, you and Sarah will go to the party and deal with her. Then you will take what she is selling and use that as your in with the Ring."

"That's the name of the new terrorist group that wants to make their own Intersect. Seriously?"

"Yes, well I didn't pick the name Miss Sullivan. You will handle surveillance while Colonel Casey will be a bartender and Miss Lane will show up on her own. Perhaps you could take care of any bodyguards."

"Yes m'am." Lois replied, making the General nod.

"General, you never actually told us what she, I mean we are selling." Clark spoke up.

"That's correct because quite simply we don't know. It will be your job to find out. That is all." She said before signing off.

"I need to go get new clothes." Lois called out, and Clark just laughed.

"I'll go with you Lois." Chloe said quickly, following her cousin out the door, barely sparing Clark or Sarah a second glance

"Is it just me or is Chloe acting a bit strange?" Clark asked and Sarah laughed softly.

"You know for someone with an intersect in his head and x-ray eyes, you sure can miss the obvious."

"What are you talking about?"

"What I'm talking about is that it's kind of obvious that Chloe has feelings for you, feelings that are definitely not sisterly in nature."

"What? But that's crazy! I mean sure Chloe's my best friend besides you of course, but that's it."

"Just because you don't have feelings for her dosen't mean she dosen't have any for you. If I had turned you down back when we first met, would you have no longer had feelings for me?" Sarah asked, and Clark immediately looked worried as he heard her words.

"Relax Clark, I have no intention of breaking up with you anytime soon. I don't have any intention of breaking up with you period."

"Whew, well that's a relief."

"Now back to what I asked. If I had turned you down would you still have had feelings for me?"

"It would have killed me to have to see you every day, but yes I would have."

"What if I had been seeing someone else? Like Shaw for example?"

"Are you insane?!"

"My point is that it would have killed you to see me with someone else."

"That''s how Chloe feels. It's killing her to see me with you." Clark said softly, and Sarah nodded giving him a sad smile.

"Well what should I do? I mean I can't break up with you, not even for my best friend. Chloe may be my best friend but you're the woman I love."

"And I appreciate that. What you need to do is sit down and talk to her, explain that she's still important to you. And then I need to talk to her, make sure that we can still work together."

"Alright cuz, spill it." Lois said as they were on their way back from the store.

"What are you talking about Lois?"

"I'm talking about you! I mean, here we are in Paris with new clothes, all expenses paid, and we're spies but it's like you don't even care. You've even been avoiding your best friend."

"I have not been avoiding him. It's not my fault he's always with Sarah."

"Well she's his wife, are you really surprised?"

"It's just a cover." Chloe said, but Lois shook her head.

"It's not, and we both know it. Clark Kent and Sarah Walker may not be married yet, but they will be very soon."

"You can't know that for sure!" Chloe said, and Lois shook her head again, placing her hand on her cousin's shoulder.

"We both know it's true. The chances of Clark and Sarah breaking up are less than Lex Luthor not being a total asshole."

"It's just not fair! I'm always there for him, and I always get shot down! You know when Clark got sick two years ago I read him a letter. I poured my soul out to him, and he responded by saying Lana! Then no sooner does he get over Lana than who should walk in but Sarah freaking Walker! I mean never mind that she was his handler, she's too old for him!"

"Chloe stop. That's enough. I know you're hurting, but Clark still loves you. Now it might not be the way that you want, but you're still his family, and his best friend. However, if you keep insulting his future wife, you won't be because I guarantee you that as much as it would hurt him to lose you, if it comes down to it, he will choose Sarah. Or worse Sarah will make you back off and not even Clark could help you then. Now you need to let this go." She finished softly, placing her arm on her cousin's shoulder as she cried.

"Clark, we need to talk now." Lois said as soon as she walked in, making Clark wince. She only called him Clark when she was really serious; otherwise it was always Smallville. However, he just nodded and walked into the dining room.

"Clark, my cousin is currently in the car in tears and I think you know why."

"I do Lois, but I don't know what you want me to do. Chloe's family but Sarah-"

"I get it you love her." Lois said, cutting him off, making Clark smile. Lois reminded him so much of Casey. Speaking of, he was probably still using the range. Clark thought they would be lucky to get him out in time for the party as he had only left it for Beckman's briefing.

"I know that Clark, and I'm not saying you dump her. But Chloe needs to know she still matters, that you still love and care for her, that she's still family."

"I know Lois, Sarah said the same thing."

"Smart isn't she? Don't screw this up Smallville." She finished seriously, but when Clark heard her call him Smallville he knew everything was good between him and his friend. Clark walked out to the car where he found Chloe still in the passenger seat.

"Chloe."

"Go away Clark."

"I can't do that, not until we talk."

"There's nothing to talk about."

"Obviously there is. Chloe you know I need you right, you know I love you. Not like I love Sarah, but I still need you."

"No you don't."

"Course I do. After all, Sarah's really good with a gun, but you're still the best hacker there is. You know I was given my pick of anyone for this team? Anyone in the CIA or NSA, and all I had to do was ask, but I didn't want them. I wanted my team, and I knew without a doubt that I wasn't going to have the adventure of a lifetime without the best sidekick there is."

"Somebody's gotta keep you out of trouble." Chloe said, looking up at him with a sad smile.

"I will always need you Chloe, don't doubt that for a second. I don't know what's going to happen with Sarah and me, but no matter what you will always be my family."

"Thanks Clark." She said, hugging her best friend. Clark may not love her like she wanted, but she would be content with whatever she could get.

"So have you gotten her a ring yet?" Chloe asked, making Clark grin.

"I'm working on it, but it's our little secret for now okay?"

Chloe nodded before she got out of the car, a smile on her face. Clark smiled in return as he got out of the car, and passed Lois who smiled. Things were looking up.

"Chloe, can we talk?" Sarah asked as she knocked on the younger girl's door.

"Sure Sarah." Chloe said as she opened the door, letting the other woman inside.

"Chloe I-"

"Look Sarah before you start I need to tell you something. I talked to Clark, and I talked to Lois and they both made me realize that while Clark may not love me like I wish he would, he does still love me, and I'll take what I can get. I can see that he's in love with you Sarah and I won't stand in your way. I'd rather be friends. However, if you break his heart you will find out just why Clark put me on this team." She finished coldly, making Sarah smile.

"Thank you Chloe. Clark's lucky to have a friend like you."

"I'm the lucky one. Tell me something though... do you love him?"

"Yes, I do."

"Thanks, I knew already, but I just needed to hear you say it."

"You're welcome. Now tell me, do you think Clark will like the dress I picked out for the party tonight?" Sarah asked, pulling the dress from the bag in her hand.

"I think he won't know what hit him."
