Chapter Two

Ollie watched as Chloe breifed the team on what she had managed to find during her mission. He was having a hard time watching her and seeing the cuts and bruises on her face and what was visible of her body. He still couldn't believe that she would do something so stupid and so reckless, she was supposed to be the smart one. He was only seconds away from blowing up and yelling at her for scaring him the way she had. She had nearly given him a heart attack when he answered the phone and heard her panicked voice, he thought he was going to lose her, thought that he would never see Chloe's 1000 whatt smile again. That was something he couldn't live with. He had long ago admitted to himself that he was in love with her, he just hadn't gotten around to telling her yet.

If he were being completely honest with himself he would have to say the reason behind that was because he was afraid. He had a reputation in the public, and in the league. Oliver Queen was a playboy, and a flirt, what none of them really knew was the reason for that. Ollie is terrified of commitment, after his parent's deaths he was always fearful and hesitant to get too close to anyone. He didn't want to have that hole in his chest become any bigger than it was, and he knew that if he let himself love too much that there was no way that he would be able to keep that from happening.

Chloe, he realised, meant more to him than anything else. He wasn't exactly sure when it had happened, all he knew was that he had never felt this way and despite the fact it scared him shitless, he loved the way it made him feel. Now he had something to fight for, someone to look forward to seeing everyday, someone who believed in him more than anyone else ever had, and someone he knew would be proud no matter what he did, and would stick by him through it all.

"Ollie? Have you been listening at all to what I've been saying?" Chloe broke into his inner musings.

"Of course I have. Even though I'm pissed that you went off and did something stupid that could have gotten you killed, I'm glad you managed to get this information. Now what are we going to do about it? If Chloe's right and these people that Lex is using as test subjects are as strong as the file says they are, we are going to have a hard time fighting them." He managed to say without comletely revealing that after the beginning of the conversation he had zoned out.

"Maybe we don't have to fight them. Maybe we can convince them to join us." Chloe said unsurely.

"No. If Lex had anything to do with this then they are probably brainwashed or so far gone they won't listen to reason. I think its in our best interest to just take them out." Ollie responded looking at Chloe incredulously.

"These are human beings we are talking about Ollie. They are innocent people who didn't want this to happen to them. We shouldn't punish them for something Lex and his evil menions did to them." She sounded really passionate about this and that confused Oliver. Normally she would leave decissions like these up to him and the rest of the team.

"I agree with Oliver. Sorry Chloe, but he's right its too dangerous letting them free at this point. After everything Lex has done to them, there's no way someone can bounce back from that. They'll never be right again." Clark, much to everyone's surprise, jumped in.

"Clark, how could you say something like that? These are innocent people we are talking about condeming. This isn't fair. They had no choice." Chloe looked a little too edgy, and something didn't sit well with Oliver about how she was acting.

"Chloe, what are you not telling us?" He asked looking her dead in the eye. He caught what most woudn't a slight emotion gone the same instant it appeared, but he caught it, pain. Obviously more had happened in the warehouse than she had let on, and she wasn't going to tell them.

"Nothing. I'm just saying that we should at least try. That's what we do. We help the people that Lex hurts. Why not these people?"

"She has a point man." AC said going over to Chloe's side and laying a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah Bossman. I think we should help them." Bart put in.

"Alright, Vic how bout you? Do you want to help them?"

"It worht a shot. They do deserve a chance, something that they weren't given. If we pass them off without letting them prove themselves we're no better than Lex."

"Exactly. Come on Ollie, please. I was there I saw what was being done to them. Its horrible. We have to help them." Chloe pleaded softly with him. He crumbled uder her bright gaze.

"Fine. We'll save them. First we need to set up a headquarters where we can have them stay so that they don't hurt themselves or anyone else while we see how they are going to hold up. Is everyone on board with that?"

"Yes." Victor

"Sure thing Bossman." Bart

"I'm game." AC

"Whatever you think is best. Just let me know when you want this done. I have to be getting back to Smallville. Keep me updated." Clark

"No problem. See you later." Oliver resonded.

"The rest of you can go too. Report back first thing Monday morning. I'll let you know if anything comes up before then." With that said everyone left, going their separate ways to do what they normally did after a mission.

"Thank you." Chloe said softly looking up at him with shimmering eyes.

"Your welcome. Now tell me who you know that is in there."

"Well there are quite a few there actually. I wasn't able to get names, only subject names, like what you would use to catagorize files."

"No, I mean who do you know is there that had you so passionate about this. Out of all the Luthor warehouses and projects we've taken down and all the people we had to take out, you have never been that upset. Who is it Chloe. You can tell me." He said the last part softly reaching up to move a lock of hair out of her face and wiping a stray tear off her cheak.

"My mother. He has my mother."

AN: TBC! Sorry but I have to stop it here. I promise to have the next one out soon. But things are getting busy and finals are coming up and I have a lot of studying to do. Let me know what you think.
