A/N: Enjoy.
Chloe finished up her work and started to walk home. Working late nights on the paper was becoming a regular thing. But that was okay. It's not like she had a social life of any kind. Sue she had Pete… and Clark. But Clark would never think of anything but Lana Lang. Maybe if she just started to like somebody else.
Nah.
Noises could be heard from not to far away. It sounded like yelling but Chloe couldn't be sure. She ran toward the sound.
Two large men were fighting over what looked like a light bulb. But this being Smallville, who knew? Chloe walked up to the men. "Excuse me? Can I please be told what is going on? You can't be on school property."
"Her."
"Her?"
"Am I miming? Of coarse her."
"Me?" Chloe asked. They turned to her and stopped fighting. The largest man smiled. The smaller, large man threw the bulb at her. She flinched, but it never hit her. She kept her eyes closed.
"Excuse me, miss. Can I help you?"
Chloe opened her eyes. A funky looking man stood in front of her. It looked like she was in some sort of comic bookstore. But how did she get there? "Um… no. But thanks. I'll just… look."
She went up to a shelf that had a sign "Special Sale". She looked at the comic books. Batman, heard of it. The Hulk, not new. Spider man, old news. Superman? She grabbed the comic and held it up to the shopkeeper. "Is this a new one?"
"NO! That's Superman #1005. Special Edition. Not new. Haven't you heard of him?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"Have you been living in a cave for the past 70 years?"
"I'm not that old. And no. I lived in Smallville my whole life."
"Now I know you were kidding me."
'I swear. I've never heard of him."
"He lived in Smallville until his father died and then he moved to Metropolis and worked at the Daily Planet. That's were he met Louis Lane. He fell in love with her and had to keep that big secret from her."
"Secret?"
"Yeah, he was like an alien. He came down with these meteor rocks. Or Kryptonite. His biggest enemy was Lex Luthor, this rich guy."
"I know Lex. Now why would a person name their child Superman?"
"They didn't. His name is Clark Kent."
"What?! Clark Kent? OMG!"
TBC…
