Thanks for reviewing guys! Here's chapter 2 …
Disclaimer : I don't own anything. Just the plot.
Enjoy!
"What?" Clark asked, as he squint his eyes in confusion.
Chloe started snickering, which soon turned into laughter.
"Ok now I feel really left out." Clark remarked, as he scanned everyone's faces. Apparently, he was the only one who didn't know what Justice was.
As her laughter died down, Chloe decided to give him a break. "Justice is the new bar opening in Star City." She explained.
"Ok…" Clark said. "Why's it called Justice though?" He questioned. "What? Is it in honor of-" Then he stopped abruptly as realization dawned on him. Chloe nodded her head, beaming at him, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch upwards. How could I have not realized this sooner?
"That's right Clark." Bart said, as he quickly appeared by Clark.
"He was like two feet away from you! What was the need to use your power?" A.C. asked, exasperated for the most part because Bart had a tendency to rub the fact that he could use his power anytime unlike A.C., who had to wait until he was in the water.
"Oh please, let me answer." Chloe said eagerly, wanting to do the honors, and Clark looked at her, waiting to hear what she so impatiently wanted to say.
"Go ahead milady." Bart said, waving his arm in front of him.
Clearing her throat theatrically, Chloe looked A.C. straight in the eyes and said with an attitude, "Because he wanted to and could do it A.C.? Geez!" She used a tone that screamed it should have been obvious to him.
Attempting to keep a straight face, A.C.'s came crashing down when Chloe rolled her eyes, sighing, and he began to laugh, along with Victor and Clark, while Oliver snickered.
"Couldn't have done it better myself." Bart's voice was laced with pride.
"I'm sure." Oliver drawled sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Chloe just grinned at all of them, chuckling. She was glad the boys were back in town and knew that this visit would be fun, just like their last.
She herself had been bored, as well as Clark, since Lois and Jimmy had both left to go under cover for a report in Gotham City. She and Jimmy had broken up about a year ago, but were still good friends. This time, their attempt at a friendship was real and actually worked, shocking them both. The adjustment was awkward at first, but eventually, they came through.
They all made their way to Oliver's living room, and sat down on either various chairs or the sofa.
"So there's a bar in Star City that was made in honor of the Justice League? And we're going there tonight?" Clark wanted to make sure that his deductions were correct, from his position on the sofa.
"Yeah … my friend from the second floor wrote an article about it and the opening's tonight." Chloe answered, from next to him. She was actually looking forward to going. It's supposedly going to be Star City's newest hot spot. There's probably going to be a big crowd there.
"What were you doing by the computer?" Victor asked Oliver, who just joined them.
"To see if it was really true." Keeping it vague, Oliver grinned, from the big chair, when everyone looked at him curiously.
"Nothing … you guys can find out when we get there." He said, loving that he could torment them like this.
"Wait a minute …" Chloe said slowly, her face fell as she realized something. "How can you guarantee that we'll be able to get in? It's the opening and there's gonna be a huge crowd there."
"You guys will be with me." He said as if that should explain everything.
"Now that's conceited." Victor remarked, and A.C. nodded in agreement.
"There's no need to be a snob." Bart shook his head, and since he was seated closest to him, Oliver slapped him upside the head.
"Ow!" Bart exclaimed, as his hand instantaneously flew to where Ollie's hand had connected with. "Abusive too! You're just a package deal aren't you?"
Oliver rolled his eyes and said, "I meant … I got us in. That's what I was doing on the computer. That and something else." He was still being secretive.
"That doesn't explain the abuse!" Bart pointed out, and it looked like he wasn't about to stop making jokes about this one. "You were probably looking at porn." He accused falsely.
Chloe choked on air, and Clark began to thump, lightly, on her back, while trying to control his own snickering.
A.C. busted out laughing while Victor attempted to keep his laughter to a minimum, which didn't work.
"We have a lady here Ollie, you can't do that anymore." Bart scolded Oliver, unable to resist. "Especially keeping it on mute like that. No that it should be loud. Hell it shouldn't even be on in the first place. You're supposed to be like a role model for me." He shook his head in a disappointed manner.
"Shut up Bart." Ollie glared at him.
"I was just messing with you." He said, defensively. Bart super-sped to the kitchen, and everyone could hear the water in the sink run for a few seconds, and then turn off.
He appeared right next to Chloe and handed her the glass of water. "You ok Chloelicious?"
Her face had gone red, and she took the glass from Bart, thankfully and gulped it all down. "Yeah I'm fine." She finally wheezed out, answering him.
"But that was a good one!" She congratulated him with a wide smile, and he looked pleased at the praise.
"I'm glad some people can accept my humor." Bart said, obviously hinting at Olive, who got ready to smack him upside the head again. This time, Bart ran out of the way and Ollie just stumbled forward, and onto his feet.
Stalking forward, Oliver attempted to lunge at Bart, seeing that he was on the other side of A.C., but before he could, Chloe stepped in the way.
"Ollie … leave Bart alone." Chloe warned him.
"Thanks Chloelicious." Bart said, and kissed her on the cheek. "I know you want me." He added.
"Yeah sure I do." She snorted, sarcastically.
"But we can't be together … our friendship is as far as I want to go." Bart looked playfully apologetic, and Chloe thought about smacking him upside the head herself. And so she did.
"Ow!" He exclaimed for the second time that day. "What is it? Abuse Bart day?"
"Thank you!" Oliver said, and Chloe nodded her welcome. They both took their seats, but Bart remained on the other side of Victor, finding it much safer there.
Clark looked at him, amused clearly written across his face. He was just enjoying this too much.
"Thanks for the help guys!" Bart's sarcastic tone made them answer in return.
Clark's voice could be heard saying, "You're welcome."
Victor's amused tone clearly held sarcasm as he said, "No problem."
Last, but not least, A.C. was the only one that was blunt as he said, "You deserved it."
"So what was it that you were actually looking up on the computer?" Chloe asked, turning to Oliver.
Sighing, he said, "I wanted to keep it a surprise but oh well … we're gonna have drinks named after us." Oliver wasn't upset about what had just happened, he himself had found it kind of amusing as well, but of course he would never tell Bart that. But somehow, it seemed like Bart always knew.
"That doesn't sound very surprising, but it is cool!" Bart exclaimed. "So there's a drink out there called The Impulse?" He wondered out loud.
"Yes Bart …" Oliver spoke slowly. "I just said that."
"No man." Bart cut him off. "It only works when I do it. Okay?" Bart asked, making a face. "Okay." He answered himself.
"And to think Oliver almost made a joke." Chloe whispered to Clark, rolling her eyes.
"Actually," Clark whispered back, shifting in his seat so she could hear him better, "He can make jokes … I think he chooses not to unless the situation requires it."
"Wow." was all that came out of Chloe's mouth.
What'd you think?
