Disclaimer: I Don't Own Smallville
Spoilers: Up to s6 some things from ep "Zod".
A/N: OK so if there was any question this is a fic of what would happen if Oliver came in as Chloe's Love Interest instead of Jimmy. So yeah, there won't be any Chimmy or Lollie.
Lionel had told Chloe that Lex had taken Lana flying off. He saw that Zod did take over Lex's body completely now. It was to late. Clark had failed some how. Chloe couldn't beleive that. All she could do now was what ever she could to try to stop Zod. She had to translate Lionels Kryptonian scribbles Jor-el had made Lionel draw as he used him as his vessel. Chloe had to translate it and maybe she could find out some type of antidote. It was the best she could do to save the world. Lionel gave Chloe a gun to protect herself and then she went back to the Daily Planet.
Chloe ran back to the Daily Planet holding onto her gun tightly. Then she huddled herself under her desk and baracaded herself there, trying to protect herself as much as she could. She tried as much as she could as she looked at all of the patterens of Kryptonian symbols. She was smart but she was starting to see her mere human limits. She could have been dead if it weren't for this mysterious archer and now even her altra smart skills and her knowing several languages and even knowing how to read some hierglphics her limits stopped at Kryptonian. She really thought she could crack the code but who was she kidding? She was merely just a human girl. Who was she aginst an evil Kryptonian dictator?
She really could use Clark's help right now. She needed him. The world needed him. For all she knew Zod killed him. No, no, no. She couldn't think that way. Clark had to be out there finding a way to defeat Zod. He was Clark Kent he always found a way. Lately he found that way by coming to her and they found a way together. She hoped he'd find it. He was their only hope against a Kryptonian dictator. What could she do as a mere human to stop all of this chaos?
"Clark, I could really use you right now."
Then suddenly she heard a noise of footsteps coming closer. Most likely it was more crazed looters. She had to protect herself. To bad she refused those trips to the rifle range her cousin Lois had offered her when ever they visited the military base. She never really used a gun before. She had a taze gun to get her out of scraps just long enough to call Clark to come to her rescue. So maybe she really needed to start to learn to fend for herself. She couldn't depend on Clark forever. He couldn't always be there.
She held onto the heavy gun and shot three warning shots panicly with her eyes wide with fear. She shot the glass. Then a tall handsome blonde man wearing exspensive jeans and a black lined dress shirt came out holding his hands up and said,"I come in peace. I swear."
Chloe lowered her gun slightly and asked, "Who are you?"
He did look awfully familar, "My name is Oliver Queen. I'm just here for business. I mean no harm."
He said sincerly and looked into her eyes with his deep brown eyes.
Chloe sighed as she put her gun on saftey and put it down.
"Oh, the boy billionaire from Star City." Chloe said.
"So you have heard have me." Oliver said.
"I like to know my billionaires." Chloee said a bit self assured.
"Really?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, of course, it's always good to know, so I know who to look out for corruption and so I could unveil it to the world." Chloe stated in a matter of the fact manner.
"So you have expereince with Billionaires?" Oliver asked intrigued.
"A bit. So why are you here Mr. Queen?" Chloe asked.
"I'm here on business like I said." Oliver stated.
"No, why are you here at the Daily Planet. This isn't exactly the safe haven right now." Chloe stated.
"I'd ask you the same thing." Oliver said smoothly.
"Who says I ever left since the madness started?" Chloe asked.
"Touche." Oliver said with a devilish grin.
Man, Chloe had to remind herself to focus, this was one gorgous hunk of a man. In person he was really wow. She was really in awe of him, she had to focus. What was her problem tonight? Maybe she had accidnelty taken hormones that made her super horny. First she kisses Clark, then she gets all ga ga over some mysterious leather clad vigilante, and now she's all ga ga over Oliver Queen.
She had to stay on guard though. This was a crazy night bringing out the crazies and just because this Oliver Queen had a pretty face, didn't mean she should trust him. The whole boy billionaire thing was reason enough to be weary of him.
"So I repeat, Mr. Queen. Why are you here?" Chloe asked with tact.
"I was just supplying this paper and several other big businesses, public places, and not to mention hospitals with some of my test enivormental friendly genorators."
"You're testing your products?" Chloe asked intrigued.
"What better time then a disaster? Of course it's not ideal but if I can help I'd like to." He said and flashed her that charming smile of his.
Chloe reminded herself not to melt right there. She smiled highly impressed though. He smiled right back at her. His smile was so bright and full it lit the whole basement. She felt energy and electricity flowing through. Her heart racing and she trembled with excitment. Then suddenly the place shook a bit and Chloe fell into his strong arms. Her breath escaped her as she looked up at him in awe. Wow, he really was... wow. His arms were so strong as he held onto her making sure she didn't fall. She forgot the whole world existed for a moment. It was just them.
Then suddenly she heard this big bumbling noise that sounded like muffled machinery amd suddely the lights went on and the air conditionor came on along with all of the computers.
Then Oliver smiled a big grin and said, "Looks like it works. I'll have to give project manager a raise."
Chloe smiled and said,"Looks like it."
She then realized he was still holding her she pushed away kind of embarassed.
Oliver laughed at her obvious embarassment of course the boy billionaire was used to it.
Chloe had to get back to a mode she knew well, her reporter mode and said, "Well, so you come in here to sweep in Metropolis being our hero."
"Just doing what I can to help. I'll be staying in Metropolis expanding business and I'd like for it to be in one peice."
"So it's purely for profit reasons?" Chloe asked.
"If that's what you want to think." Oliver said with a curve in his smirk.
"What do you want Metropolis to think?" Chloe asked pointedly.
"Is this an interview?" Oliver asked.
"I am a reporter and you are at a News Paper. If you didn't want to be interviewed and give your company a PR boost then why personally come to the Daily Planet?" Chloe asked.
"I want people to know I'm a personable guy." Oliver said yet again flashing his charming smile.
"So it is a PR Boost. So you come in and play the hero and get everyone to love you so they're willing to hand you the key to the city." Chloe said.
"Hey, I just saved your ass shouldn't you be thankful?" Oliver asked a bit bluntly and it looked like he regretted saying it right away.
"I saved your city it's been going in utter chaos without electricity. Shouldn't you stop with the questions and just be grateful?" Oliver asked a bit on edge and he looked a bit out of his element.
"I was always taught to question with boldness even when someone does something good for me. Who knows why that person did that. You talk smooth Mr. Queen but society has been fooled by smooth talkers and people who pose as heroes and as soon as he has the people devotion that's when he takes over and turns the people into slaves and destroys." Chloe stated vigorously.
"Did you just compare me with Hitler and Stalin?" Oliver asked outraged.
"So you know your history at least that Ivy League education did something for you." Chloe quiped.
Oliver looked hurt and he was starting to get really mad.
"You know if you wanted an interview insulting me isn't a way to get it." Oliver said raising his voice.
"I'm sorry if that offends you. I'm just stating history. I'm not saying you are one of those rich greedy men who use a crisis to make him look good so he can take over and destroy I'm just saying you could be, that is why I must question with all due respect, Mr. Queen." Chloe said boldly.
Then Oliver shot back and said, "Well, with all due respect, Miss Sullivan, I am a very busy man. I must be going."
Then Chloe said, "Wait Mr. Queen I really didn't mean to offend you."
If he heard her he didn't let her know and left.
Chloe frustrated herself. She could have gotten a great interview with the guy. He did do a very heroic thing but she stood by her analysis she couldn't just trust him for that reason alone. Her journalism professor told her to question with boldness so she had to. But Oliver was right this wasn't the way to get a descent interview and get real answers. The only way to get back in his good graces would to write a favorable article about him. She would not write a fluff piece. She would write the truth. He did save Metropolis those generators were a great help but she also wrote the questions of what else is Oliver Queen doing here. She took some of the quotes he said that he was doing his part to help.
Mean while she kept her lines opened and she did call Martha, she finally got a hold of Martha and she told her Clark was fine and did save the day as usual and Lois was in the hospital in Smallville but she was doing fine. That was a relief. She wanted to visit her but some of the roads were still blocked so she was stuck at the DP, which wasn't a bad thing she had articles to write and a billionaire to research. She would get the real story on this new boy billionaire who came to town and she will truely find out if he is a friend or a foe.
Chloe had another mysterious character she was writing about too. She wrote out her occurrence with the mysterious archer who she named the Green Arrow. It was strange, it was so short she felt like she couldn't say much. It felt really personal like all of the times Clark saved her. She would never write about that but that was different she knew Clark and Clark didn't have a disguise. She thought about it and she kept the Green Arrow article amongst her personal files and she continued to polish the Oliver Queen story until she was ready and sent it in an attachment to her editor in her e-mail she was sure to tell her editor that this was just a first in a series of Oliver Queen articles, that should give her an edge. She was quite satisfied with herself when she pressed send. Then she twirled in her swivel chair with a big grin and then she saw Clark a bit disheveled and said,"I know that look. That's your, 'I just wrote an awesome story look.' "
Chloe smiled as she saw Clark, she rushed up to him and grabbed him in a big hug. She embraced him fully and she lead her head on a familiar spot on his chest. It was nice to have something so familiar.
"Oh, Clark for a while there I never knew if I'd see you again. Are you OK?"
"A little bruised but I'm fine. Crisis averted." Clark said.
"My hero." Chloe said.
Then Clark got awkward and said, "Chloe before there was this moment where we... uh..."
Chloe laughed and said, "What do you mean when I laid one on you?"
"Yeah" Clark said nervous.
"Well, Clark..." Chloe was about to lay the same old excuse. She was about to put her usual walls up and prevent herself from risk and prevent herself from getting hurt. Then suddenly she remembered something the Green Arrow told her, "You can take your chances with me or risk the chaos by yourself." Chloe thought about it. She didn't want to risk it being by herself in the chaos anymore. She didn't do so well by herself. She needed Clark by her side. Plus it was safe to be with Clark. She had a bit of a taste of life with out Clark in meeting new possible heroes and she always had to keep her guard up. With Clark it was familiar and safe and she always loved him. So then she looked up and reached up and kissed Clark again. He grabbed her and embraced her fully and kissed long and hard. Chloe was happy to finally be happy but if she was so happy why couldn't she stop thinking about the Green Arrow?
A/N: OK guys thanks for reading and review please, and please Chlolliers put down the tomatoes, it's going to be OK. ;)
