The way we were ...
Rating : Everyone
Authors Notes: In this the real Lois lane never existed. This is a Chlois piece.
He walked through the revolving doors across the marble floor and pressed the up button to the elevator. It was however ironic that he was using an elevator. He rode to the top until the bell rung and light up 15 for the 15th floor. As he proceeded into the office he couldn't help but notice her. ' No it. It couldn't be ' he thought to himself. The symphony of phones ringing, people talking , copy machines at work , faxes coming in even was not enough to break him of his spell. He stood motionless flashing back to a time he thought he had put behind him .
" Miss. Sullivan I would like you too meet another student here at Smallville middle school . Chloe this is Clark Kent. Clark this is Chloe Sullivan she is new this year to the school and Smallville . Chloe Mr. Kent will show you around the school and then take you to your classes . Welcome!" The secretary had spoke. He could still hear that voice . The voice of her as she turned around to him and said
" So you know where I can get a cappuccino and an issue of the daily planet or I am going to have teleport to metropolis for that?"
He could remember every flawless detail of that sweet face. So innocent but so fearful. That is what Chloe Sullivan WAS. Beautiful and Interesting with every moment you spent with her.
" Uh well there's the beanery on main and I think they sell copies of the planet there. Not sure though. "
" Oh alright." She smiled . To this day he was sure she was thinking other things about him than coffee and newspapers when she looked at him. He had his suspicion that she was looking at his red and black plaid shirt and thinking about him working on the farm.
" So do you live on a farm?" She then asked.
" Yeah , you could come over later , you know if you really want t..." But before he could finish she exclaimed " I would love too. "
He went on to think about that day , from her first experience in seeing a real cow , to that moment in his loft.
" So your telling me you have never seen a real cow before?" He asked breaking the silence
" So your telling me you have never rode in a cab by yourself before?" She rebutted.
He felt her push closer to him her thigh against his. She leaned over and looked into his green eyes. He looked into hers. She craned her neck closer to his mouth and he did the same. She then kissed him and said " I wanted to get that over with so we could just be friends ."
Kent. Kent. KENT!
" Wha? Oh uh , gee I must have been uh..." Clark replied nervously pushing his glasses up his nose and stuttering.
" Clark , it's been forever I know but I want you to meet your partner so you two can get started. " He said pulling Clark into his office.
" Thank you so much for this job opportunity Mr. White. "
" No problem Kent , I owe you anyways . Clark Meet your partner Lois , Lois meet your partner Clark. "
He looked at her and his head felt like a whirlwind of memories . It couldn't be. There was no way , with all his gifts he had been looking for her for over ten years. It couldn't be. But it all made so much sense. He being a reporter , the eyes , living in Metropolis. Although she seemed more slender and her hair was brown , he could never mistake those eyes they had to be , it had to be her. Chloe Sullivan.
" Clark , Nice to meet you, look I know we are working together so lets get a few things straight , first call me Lois, second my name always comes first on the byline, and third never try to tell me not to do something when it comes to reporting cause I will get the story no matter what it takes , got it? Great , you can have the desk over there near Jimmy. "
" What? uh , ok then , Hey uh Lois?"
" Yeah?"
" You look really familiar have we met? "
" No not that I know of. " She said checking him from top to bottom. " I'm sure I would remember you . "
" Oh well uh ok. "
" Hi , I'm Clark." He said reaching over to shake hands with Jimmy across the desk .
" Hey Jimmy , Jimmy Olsen. You know I feel bad for you really. "
" Whys that ?"
" You got stuck with Lois. Her last 3 partners quit within the same month cause Perry gave them the choice of putting up with her or quitting . People are already taking bets on how long your going to last . "
" Is that right? Well Golly I think I can handle her."
" Riigghhhtt. Well then , Welcome and Good Luck . "
" Gee thanks . " He said while setting his briefcase down on the desk.
" Kent Lets go , there's just been a robbery at a local Jewelers we have to go before others get there. Come on!" Lois yelled.
" Right well , uh , coming. He said running after her but taking a moment to use his x-ray vision on Lois. No he wasn't being perverted but he had to be sure , He x-rayed her back side to check for a Birthmark . On her Cheek. No not her front Cheek. " Oh my Gosh ." He mumbled to himself as he ran in a dorky fashion towards her.
When they got to the Jewlers ,They saw all the armed men standing around with guns pointed twords everyone in the crowd and the police. " Lois , I ..uh I will be right back I am going to go around back .
" Clark...No...!" She yelled as he ran off. She began to go after him but then was distracted by a man . A man flying. She began to feel light and Woozy. Everything was getting dark.
Chandlers Field Windmill.
" I know you have to feel stupid but come on trying one more time is not going to kill you. Literally. Lets go. "
" Chloe I have been trying for two hours . Its 2 a.m. and it looks like its going to rain . Please don't make me do it again. " Only Chloe could keep a super powered alien wrapped around her finger. He could have left a long time ago but something she kept saying kept keeping him.
" Fine Clark if you don't want to handle this whole flying thing and start floating randomly like a ballon fine then . We can go . If you want to learn to control this then man up and practice. Now put your arms to the side again and relax. Relax like we have been practicing and lift those arms and breathe. Feel the weightlessness. "
'"Chloe am I doing it?"
" No...keep trying." She lied. He was and she wanted him to get a hold of it so as he was floating she walked over and nudged him over the side of the deck.
" Open your eyes Clark. "
" Why I'm not doing anything?"
" Are you sure?"
He opened his eyes and looked around him , he lost control and began falling , Chloe stood laughing. He looked like a Cartoon Falling off a Cliff.
He Floated back up to see her on the deck laughing hysterically.
" Ha Ha Ha . now can we go , now that you've had your fun?"
" Eh I guess. Come on. " She said Climbing down the windmill. As she was Climbing . Clark picked her up and started flying .
" Clark Come on I have to drive my car I can't just leave it here. "
" Chloe I'll fly it back later. "
" Right cause no one will notice a man flying in the sky with a car in his hands. "
" Not in Smallville. Its 2 a.m. and everyone goes to sleep at like 9 . Its fine Chloe just let me take you for a ride ok?"
" Alright." She said gripping her fingers around his neck looking into eyes.
" Uh Lois , Loooiiss, Wake up lo. "
" Hu?" She replied blinking open . Looking into his eyes.
" Are you alright ?" He asked,
" What uh yeah . I just got a little woozy for some reason. "
" You looked like you were having some sort of a dream . You kept muttering Clark over and over. "
" Uh yeah well sorta. Right well Ok . " She got up brushed off her skirt .
"Lois do you wanna have dinner with me tonight.?"
" I...I ...I don't know. "
" look I think its important please ?"
" Clark ...I..."
" Please? "
" Fine . Ill be at your place at around say 7:30? "
" Great. Hey you want coffee?"
" Yeah get me a ..." Before he could finish he replied " A cappuccino no foam . Got it . be back in ten. "
" How do you... Clark? Clarkkk? Where'd you go ? Clarkkk??"
