Beginning Of The End
The Watchtower
It had been three months. Three months since the Doomed Day. Three months since Doomsday ravaged upon Metropolis. Three months since her cousin, Lois disappeared. Three months since her one time husband, Jimmy was killed by the jealous maniac Davis Bloom. Three months since Clark, her best friend walked out of her life. It had been along three months for Chloe Sullivan.
Not that she hadn't tried to keep herself busy, but there is only so much you can do all by yourself with no one else in your life. The only interaction she would admit to having that was anything remotely human was the images of Oliver and his team when they contacted her and needed her computer skills and an eye in the sky for when they went on their missions. And even that was brief and far in between.
So what did she do. She remodeled the Tower. It had taken her a month to repaint, refurnish and restyle the Tower into the place she envisioned would be the main control center for Oliver, his team of heroes and their activities. It took another month to talk Oliver into coming by to listen to the proposition she had of turning Jimmy's shrine into the Watchtower. At first he was reluctant, turning away from the idea because of all the had already occurred there. But with the proper motivation and Sullivan charm Oliver eventually gave in and agreed to fund the turn of the Tower into the Watchtower.
So now a month later. Three months exactly from the day Chloe's life went to hell all in a twenty four hour period, she stood in the center room of the newly founded, and for a second time newly refurnished Watchtower. The front doors were replaced with two large black steel doors. With one large slick window in each, with the glass replaced with six inch thick bullet proof Plexiglas. The walls and the base of the building were reinforced with six inches thick of lead. The tile floor was stripped and replaced with a new dark blue and white circular tile pattern starting from the walls closing in the middle with a large blue circle in the middle of the room. With a thin gold stripe outlining the circle and the black letters "JL" within the large circle. She still hadn't figured out what the letters meant yet but she would ask Oliver later about it.
The walls had been painted and were now a dark blue with white outlining. The furniture was all new and made the place feel and look like Oliver's apartment. Over to the left side of the room was a doorway into another large room. Not quite as large as main room but large enough. The walls were a dark shade of grey and the floor was a concrete color. In there Oliver had taken all of the equipment from the Isis Foundation and moved it to the Watchtower. He even replaced some of the equipment with more updated faster versions. In the center of the room was a large Metallic table. With nine of the most comfortable black leather chairs Chloe had ever sat in. Then at the front of the table closest to the computers was a larger black chair. Which what Chloe thought was just Oliver's way of showing everyone at the table that he was in charge. In the center of the table was the same circle with the letters "JL" inscribed in it. To the right of the room against the far wall was a section of steel in the wall about twenty feet wide and eight feet tall. With a little number pad to the right of the section of steel, on the wall. Oliver obviously had something behind the steel which Chloe would also have to ask him about later.
Back in the main room there was three other passage ways, which two of them led to a large new style bathroom and kitchen. With all the utilities in the rooms metallic looking just like the rest of the main room. But the other short hallway led to a very large balcony. Which Chloe assumed could be used by our favorite superheroes to come and go quickly without having to go through the front door.
The old circular stairs were replaced with new steel stairs. The upstairs balcony hallway floor was replaced with the same tile that was in the main room but not the same pattern. This pattern was all white until you walked in front of a door leading out of the balcony hallway into one of the bedrooms. There the color changed to a dark blue and led into the room about four feet and inside the rooms the floor went into carpet. There was a total of five rooms upstairs.
Three of the rooms were exactly the same. Each had their own bathroom. King size bed, dresser and night stand with a lamp on top of it. The only difference in the rooms was the color. One was black, another was red and the third was a dark color green. They were decent size rooms. The forth room was a bit larger. Had its own bathroom which was a lot larger then the other bathrooms and even had a small sky light. The main color of the room was a mixture of blue and grey. But wasn't like all the others. It was more comfortable and felt a lot like home compared to the rest of the Tower. Then finally the last room was the master room. It was almost twice as large as the regular rooms. It had the largest bathroom and also a pair of doors that led to a balcony. The color of the room was a mixture of grey, white and another darker shade of blue. It also had a walk in style closet.
The only thing that seemed to be missing was the lack of people. Chloe was the only one in the Tower. And it seemed like that how it was going to stay until she got in contact with Clark and get him to come back to Metropolis. Or to have Lois… but Lois was gone now. She didn't want to believe it but she had to except the fact that Lois might be gone for good. No one had seen or heard from her since the horrible night all those months ago. But she still had this feeling nagging in the back of her brain that said something was just not right about Lois. She wouldn't just leave and not tell anyone. Either someone took Lois or something happened that Lois couldn't stop and couldn't control.

Clark was lost. He didn't know how his life had got to where it was now. He left Smallville believing he was doing what was best for humanity by separating himself and making decisions for what was best for humanity, not being led by his feelings. It was so hard to pick and choose who you save and who you don't. What would be the biggest disaster and what would only help a few. It made him realize that no matter what, he can not save everybody. And that all he has done for the past three months is wear himself out mentally and put the blame on himself for everyone that he couldn't save. And every second he thought about the ones he couldn't save, one person always came to mind.
He had been looking for her for the last three months also. He checked hospitals, morgues, police stations, missing persons, three different time zones and each time he came up with nothing. He couldn't find her. No matter what he did he couldn't find Lois anywhere. But he knew deep down in his soul that she was alive. That she was somewhere. He just knew it. He just didn't know how much she actually meant to him until she disappeared. If only he hadn't let her go to the phone booth. Something had to happen on the way to the phone booth. He just didn't know what. But he would find her, no matter what he was going to find Lois and put everything back to the way it should be. He just had too.

Lois felt like she being sucked through a black hole that wouldn't end. She felt like she was going to puke out everything she had in her stomach. And then without warning she hit the ground. Everything was black and it felt like her head was spinning. But she could hear voices all around her. "Do you think its really her?" She had never heard that voice before. But why would someone ask if it was really her. Then a females voice responded. "I think so, she looks exactly like the pictures. But we wont know for sure until she wakes up and we get to talk to…" That was the last Lois heard before she passed out completely.
