By Arica, Princess of Rivendell

A/N: Thank you Serena85 for being the first one to review since my return to ff . net. Thank you AnmialsRainbows and ShapeofRainbows for coming back to read this after all these years. I also thank Guest #1, Guest #2, and Belluda57 for their kind reviews. Thank you Angelvan105 for taking the time to PM your review and to ask questions.
To the Guest whom asked about Male!Lois and Fem!Clark, I have to say that won't be in this story as Claire isn't a female version of Clark; but instead, Clark's twin sister; and Lois is definitely female.
To anyone wondering if this is going to be slash or femslash, no it will not have either of those pairings.
Pairings:
Hints/mentions of past Claire/Lex
Will at some point have Claire/Oliver
Will have Kara/Jimmy
Will have Bruce/Chloe
Will have Dinah Lance/AC
Will have Victor Stone/Diana Prince
Might have some Lex/Lois (still debating this; right now I'm leaning towards not having this couple be in the story; but, that might change again too).
Bart Allen/Linda Park (Thank you, Kairan1979.)
Also Lana/Lex will be present at different intervals

Chapter Three
Threats
Lana Lang wasn't stupid; she knew that Lex was still hung up on Claire Kent. She was also aware of the fact that Claire was still hung up on Lex. Lana knew better than to let Claire get her hands back on Lex. She would make sure that she and Lex would be together for forever. Lana knew that the only way to do that was to remove Claire as a threat and she would find a way to do so.
It was the first day of her dad's tour as a Senator Candidate for Kansas; and Claire was smiling. Her mom, Kara, and she were all standing next to her dad on the platform when suddenly there was the sound of a gun being fired. Without thinking, Claire jumped in front of her dad and caught the bullet with her hand.
She and her dad met each other's eyes and there was fear written the eyes on both sides. Luckily, nobody had gotten footage of what had gone on; and the only thing people knew was the Candidate Senator Kent's life had been threatened.
They didn't know that Claire and Kara were working with Batman (Bruce Wayne) and Chloe Sullivan to stop the threat and put the person with the gun behind bars, which they did.
Then Claire ended up returning Lana to life so that Lex could be happy; and because of it, there was a threat that someone else had to lose their life; Claire's dad paid the price by heart attack.
For the first time ever Claire learned the grief of losing a parent; and Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham promising to keep in touch, especially since he was dating Chloe.
After Candidate Jonathan Kent's death, Claire's mom, Martha Kent took up the fight where her husband left off; and with that, Oliver Queen was brought to Smallville. He had heard about Martha's viewpoint and learned that she was exactly the kind of politician he could back because her views were ones that he could support morally, physically, and financially.
What Oliver Queen hadn't been expecting was Claire Kent. Of course had been aware of her existence due to news articles about the Kents and due to her close relationship with Lex Luthor; but, he hadn't been expecting her to be so beautiful; or, that he would be so physically attracted to her.
He could see that there was a sadness reaching into her very heart until it grasped her soul never to let go; and, he knew that the sadness was there due to her break-up with Lex.
He wanted to wanted to get close to her, to learn the secrets Lex never had, and to be the one she turned to whenever her world came crashing down around her. Even though, he knew what he wanted, Oliver also knew that he wouldn't be able to pry; couldn't pry, if he wanted to gain Claire's trust. He had done his research on Claire Kent and he knew that he couldn't pry if he wanted to gain her trust.
"For once," Oliver vowed to himself, "I will wait. I will wait for Claire, her family, and her friends to tell me what they WANT to tell me. I will not pry these secrets and bring these things to the front." Oliver was already aware of the fact that the Kents and the Kents' friends knew Bruce Wayne due to his helping Jonathon Kent's campaign.
Oliver found himself asking Claire to the Campaign Ball; and after much persuasion on Oliver's part was she finally convinced to go; but then she was unable to make it on time after Chloe brought it to her attention that another Meteor Mutant was causing problems and not only that would be causing problems that very night not far from the Ball. Claire was late getting back home; luckily, both Kara and Claire arrived back and while Claire quickly went to change; Kara explained that they'd been helping their friend Chloe with one of her articles for the Daily Planet and had lost track of time. It only took ten minutes for Claire to be ready and Oliver was shocked by not only that but how completely gorgeous the girl was in black.
Claire's long brown hair was set off by the white flowers that were in her hair; Oliver had no idea how she had done that so quickly, the black dress showed off every curve of Claire's body and even showed off the paleness of Claire's skin. Claire's blue-green eyes were then brought out even more by the make-up she wore and once again, Oliver found himself wondering how the girl had pulled that off so quickly; but once more vowed himself not to ask her for her secrets. He would not pressure her into saying or doing anything she didn't want; and if she didn't want to tell him that was fine by him. It wasn't that he didn't care about her; but he didn't want her telling him anything just out of obligation; he found himself wanting to protect her from every evil of the world and from anything and everything that dared to threaten upsetting her world and its balance.
