Disclaimer: I Don't Own Smallville
Spoilers: Set in Arrow loosely.
Chloe hacked into the security system of the Museum and saw Clark and made sure to override it so the security camra's couldn't see Clark and Choe oculd be the onlyone to see him.
"OK, Clark, your all cloaked." Chloe said in her mission mode.
"Thanks. So what am I looking for here?" Clark aksed.
"It's a necklace in the Egyptian exhibit." Chloe said.
Clark found it. Chloe saw him look at all of the green lasers surrounding the exhibit. Then an Arrow went passed him in hit straight in the center of the lasers making them deflect in an arch above him so he was free to get the necklace. Clark supersped in front of him.
And then folded his arms self important in front of his chest and said in an authoratative voice, "I would stop right there if I were you."
"I think you've taken the neighborhood watch thing a little too seriously, boy scout." He said in a laughing mechanical voice.
"I think you forgot that it's not Halloween." Clark shot back.
The Green Arrow pointed an arrow at him and he said, "You're on the wrong side."
Then Chloe said, "Clark, remember why you're here. Talk to him."
Then Clark said, "I think you think so. But I'm not. I know about the list and these people on that last of clients are stealing selling these items with international crime money."
Green Arrow lowered his bow and said, "You've done your homework."
"I've had help." Clark said simply.
"What do you got a club or league or something?" The Green Arrow asked.
"Something. Look, this is not the way to do this. You have to go through the law." Clark said.
He laughed, "Have you seen the law lately and all of the beuracy? Most of these men who are behind this own the law. Lionel Luthor got convicted of murder and yet he got away scott free and is back to his old tricks."
Clark stiffened and said, "Two wrongs don't make a right."
Then Chloe said in the com, "Clark I don't think this guy will respond to being preachy."
Then the Green Arrow took his arrow and shot pass him and got the necklace and said, "Thanks for lecture boy scout but no thanks."
Then the room was filled with Green gas. It didn't affect Clark but it did catch him off guard.
As the gas dispersed the Green Arrow was no where to be found.
Then Clark said, "Chloe he's gone."
"Clark how did he get passed you, you have superspeed?"
"His gadgets caught me off guard." Clark said annoyed.
"Gadgets. That's right he has really cool gadgets." Chloe said dreamily.
Clark huffed annoyed.
The next day Chloe woke up to Lois all dressed up ready for the day.
"Chlo. Wake up!"
Chloe sleepily said, "What is it?"
"I got an interview with Khan!" Lois yelled exstatic.
"Khan? As the Daily Planet editor and chief Khan?" Chloe asked trying to gain her barings.
Lois smiled with tirumph and said, "The one and the same!"
"Congradulations Lo! I'm proud of you. See what hard work and writing about facts gets you."
"And having a cousin whose already there and who is on her way to the top helps too."
"You dropped my name?" Chloe asked surprised. It surprised her that Lois would drop her name at all and it surprised her that using her name would even work.
"Not exactly. I turned my article in to try to get the job like you said but then... she said that my own cousin wrote a simular but opposite article." Lois said, still not changing her enthusiastic mood.
"Lo, I'm sorry but..." Chloe said.
"It's OK, Chlo. You had to do what you had to do." Lois said in understanding.
"OK, well, I'm confused so you still have an interview even though we wrote a simular article." Chloe said.
"Yep, she doesn't just want to talk to me. She wants to talk to you too!" Lois said excitment fueling her.
"OH, OK." Chloe said not sure if this was a good or a bad thing.
Chloe was nervous the whole drive there. What if Khan hated her article and loved Lois'? What if she thought Lois was so great that she'd fire her for Lois? What if she was alone in the world in thinking that the Green Arrow is a hero and gets fired for it? Why else would Khan could be calling her in? Chloe was skeptical in sending in the article but something inside her told her to still send it through nonetheless. Something inside her gut told her to do it. Even after her talk with Clark. She was disappointed that the Green Arrow and Clark couldn't see eye to eye. There had to be a compromise but either way as long as the Green Arrow was seen as a bad guy it would be harder for him and Clark to work together. She really felt like they could be a great team. Maybe if she convinced others that he was a hero she could convince Clark too.
She knew it could be possible but she reported on what he did and how those seemed like action of a modernday Robin Hood. She felt right when writing it so per her journalism ethics she had to send it.
Chloe took a deep breath as her and Lois stepped foot in Khans office. Khans cold exterior alwasy gave her chills. She had this hard chilly exterior that was both intimanating and admirable.
"Come in girls. Don't be shy. You certianly weren't shy in your articles." Kahn said.
Lois and Chloe sat in chairs in front of her desk. Lois was all excited and full confidence and Chloe was a bit weary of what was going to happen.
"So this is your cousin Chloe. Of course she is. She actually turned in an article at the greatest news paper in the world with out interning or doing any grunt work and expects to get a job on the spot." Kahn said.
"With all do respect Ms. Khan I don't think she expects any special treatment but you got me a shot when I turned in an article and that's all Lois wants. She just wants a shot." Chloe said.
"Oh now she needs her cousin to talk for her."
"No, I don't lady."
Chloe looked at her cousin with fear. She had that look where she was about to talk back and put her foot in her mouth she looked at her pleading with her with her eyes trying to signal her to not put her foot in her mouth in typical Lois fashion.
"I can speak for myself and I know you wouldn't call me here with my cousin if you didn't think our articles rocked. We are awesome and I may have not have the same experience as most people here. I lived a different life but in my expereince I have seen just what a difference jorunalism makes. When I wrote for my cousin at the Torch I felt the spark I saw what a difference articles can make to people. I haven't found myself then I still had a lot of life to live and things to figure out but the journalism bug hit me and hit me hard. I know in my gut now that this is what I must do. " Lois said full of confdence.
Chloe looked at her cousin quite impressed and proud. Sometimes Lois had a way of surprsing her with saying just the right thing.
"Well, well she's got jumpton. Well, you are right both of your articles were quite impressive. They had facts and yet showed it's own point of view. This is the Daily Planet so I couldn't print one article that just shows one point of view unless it was in the opinion section but what I can do is print both articles as both points of view. It will be a crowd pleaser an open debate about this new crusader. Is he a hero or a viglante, you decide. I like that as a headline. Sounds juicy to me. And what makes it all that more special is that two cousins would write it. So girls you have to be serious about this. You need to be fully commited one of you have to be completely for the Green Arrow and the other has to be against him. I'm not talking lies here girls. I'm talking about facts shown by your view of how he's a hero or how you think he's viglante. Two cousins debating about this hot issue will sale a lot of papers I'm sure of it." Kah said full of vigor.
"What if one of our views change?" Chloe asked.
"Well, for your sake hopefully that doesn't happen until we fully used this and sold as many papers as we can." Ms. Khan said.
"We got this Khan, we'll blow your mind." Lois said full of confidence beaming through her smile.
"You better, but ladies, you better be ready for this. I'm not just talking about your writing fact finding skills. This is going to be a hot issue and like a lot of hot issues you'll get a lot of admirers as well as a lot haters. You'll be scruntinized on both sides both of you will. Are you ready for that?" Ms. Khan asked.
Chloe had feeling if they said no she probally wouldn't care. She was hard as nails that way.
Both Chloe and Lois said, "Yes."
"Good well, you're articles will both start on the front page. Are you ready to share the spot light?"
Chloe looked at her cousin admiringly well, if she could share the spot light with anyone she rather it be her. Chloe was gaining some of her confidence back. This way she could still write about her convictions and it wouldn't get in the way of her relationship with Lois. It helped Lois into the bullpin, she loved that. She loved that her cuz was getting a shot in the big leagues. This could lead to a lot of difficulties but for now she'd enjoy this and work on this new status she got as the official reportor for pro Green Arrow.
