Chapter 6

Later that night, when Chloe got home from working at the Daily Planet, she ran upstairs to the Talon apartment and found Lois watching tv.

"What did you do, fly up the stairs?"laughed Lois.

"Ha ha, very funny, but no, my source found something out about Diana"said Chloe out of breath.

"Really? What is it? Why didn't you call me and tell me this sooner?"said Lois, firering one question after the other.

"Woah, slow your roll Lois!"said Chloe.

"Sorry cuz, it's just that...that I don't want Smallville ending up in another Lana situation."said Lois.

"So you do care for Clark, huh?"said Chloe.

"No...maybe...ok, fine I do, but just a little bit. Now what did you find out?"asked Lois, trying to change the subject.

"To sum it up for you,Diana worked for Morgan Edge four years ago, got caught stealing something for him one night, was arresrted and broken out of jail by some guy, and then dissapeared off the face of the Earth until last year, when she came to work for Queen Industries"said Chloe.

"So our girl is a fellon...YES! Now Clark can turn her over to the authorities and thank me with a kiss for helping him not make another mistake in his life."shouted Lois.

"Geesh Lois you really have it in for this girl don't-YOU WANT CLARK TO KISS YOU?"said Chloe in shock.

"Uh,'Way to go Lois, blurt it out, but it did feel good', EW, of course not Chlo how could you ever think that?"said Lois nervously.

"But Lois you just sa-"said Chloe before Lois interupted her.

"You must've heard wrong"said Lois.

Chloe looked suspisiously at Lois, but Chloe knew what she heard, she only hoped that Clark would hear Lois too.

"So I'm going to take a shower and set my alarm clock for 9 am"said a very chipper Lois.

"9 am? For what?"asked Chloe.

"That's when we're getting up, so we can go over to Smallville and tell him the good news, duh"said Lois.

"Alright, 9 am it is"said Chloe getting ready for bed as well.

9:30 AM...The Kent Farm...

Lois and Chloe got out of Lois' car and headed for the loft. Lois was walking so fast you could've sore she had super-walkling abilites. Chloe was just anxious to see how Clark would react to Lois.

"Hey Smallville, SMALL-VILLE!"screamed Lois.

"Jesus Christ, what is it Lois?"said Clark

"Finally, there you are. Now Chloe and I have some pretty sad news to tell you about your friend Diana, so stay strong Smallville"said Lois.

"If your giving me sad news, then why are you smiling?" said Clark

"Lois just had too much coffee is all, but Clark, Lois and I checked out Diana and, I'm sorry but you weren't giving anything up, and well...this is what we found out"said Chloe.

"Juts tell me what you found out then"said Clark, who was already not going to like what he was going to have to say to the both of them.

"Well, your little girlfriend here, is a fellon. She stole things for Morgan Edge four years ago, and was caught and arrested one night until somebody broke her out. Now Smallville since your all about doing the right thing, how about you call the authorities on her and thank me"said Lois with a huge smile on her face.

"You two really did your homework, but I can't call the police on her"said Clark.

"Why not?"said Lois almost shouting.

"Because...um...I was the one who broke her out"said Clark,shifting his gaze to the ground.

"Well gotta say I'm impressed Smallville, but then again, why, if you know what she did? I mean a crime is a crime, right"said Lois.

"Lois has a point there Clark, but then again, why did you break her out? Do you know something we don't that could prove her innocent, maybe clear her name?'said Chloe.

"Fine, I'll tell you, but this is the only information from my past in Metropolis that you two are getting out of me."said Clark. "Chloe when you saw me in Metroplois, where I lived, and how I lived, I remember that you asked me how I could afford all of this? Well, at first I stole some things on my own, and for myself, but then Morgan Edge took an interest in me, and asked me to do a job for him. I had to steal...I just didn't get the job done, but Diana had been working for Edge longer than me. So, when I heard about her getting caught, I knew I had to break her out. What you don't understand is that Diana had a very importanat life that she had to go back to after Metroplois, and I...well, I just didn't seem to care about anything those days. I managed to get Diana away from Edge, but after my dad brought me back from Metropolis, Edge followed me here and threatened my family. The next day he died in a car explosion"explained Clark.

"You, you...were a thief? Okay, where's the hidden cameras?"laughed Lois.

"You think this is funny Lois?! Diana is my closest friend on this planet next to Chloe, and I would do anything for her, Chloe, and especially even you Lois"said a very angry Clark

"Friend! Friend! Last time I checked "friends" don't kiss each other"shouted Lois.

"Look Diana and I were working through some things, not that its any of your buissness"said Clark.

"Working on some things huh, like what, which position you two were in last night"scoffed Lois.

"For your information, Diana is in love with someone, and last night we found out that all we had was lust towards each other, but now that Diana is finally getting her happiness, I thought I would go and find mine, but it seems like I was wrong about her"said Clark storming out of the barn.

Lois was hot on Clark's trail, and Chloe was behind Lois trying to make sense of these two.

"Well, how the hell was I supposed to know she was dating or in fact even in love with somebody?"said Lois.

"You didn't Lois, but I thought you would give me more credit than that. I'm not just going to give my heart to someone without a fight, and especially after Lana has just...oh yea..DIED!"yelled Clark.

"Remember actions speak louder than words, so I wouldn't talk about all this giving my heart crap after your display of affection the other day, because that didn't look like mourning over Lana to me"said Lois.

Clark looked at Lois, who had nothing but anger in her eyes, when Clark felt it, he felt that Lois Lane was really the person he wanted to be with, but that he did hurt her, and she was right on some level, but Clark couldn't act on that right now. Instead he gave Lois one last look before turning his back on Lois and walking towrds the house.

"Are you coming Chloe? Or are you staying?"said Lois.

Chloe knew that Clark was indeed in love with Lois, but Lois couldn't get past his actions to tell Clark how she really felt..yet. So Chloe decided to go with Lois, maybe she could calm her down and help her realize that Clark made another one of his stupid mistakes when it came to love.

The Talon...

Lois and Chloe arrived at the Talon 30 minutes later. Lois stormed right up to the counter to order herself some coffee, not knowing that she had passed A.C. Chloe saw A.C. and walked over to him.

"Hey, what's up with Lois, she looks pissed, but really hot when she's pissed"said A.C.

"Now is not the time to be playing games A.C., Lois and Clark had a massive blowout, and let's just say Lois isn't ready to deal with you and your pickup lines right now"said Chloe, who then walked over to Lois.

"Hey are you ok cuz?"said Chloe.

"I'm fine, it's just Smallville being a pain in the ass again; no big deal"said Lois uncovincingly.

"Right, well I'm going to go upstairs and finish some work. Are you sure you don't need anything?"said Chloe

"I just need some coffee, which I've already got covered, so you go. I'll call you if I need you"said Lois.

"Alright"said Chloe walking upstairs.

A.C. knew what Chloe said, but he still cared for Lois, so he ignored Chloe's warning and went over to Lois.

"You know, its rude when you don't say hi to someone you know"said A.C.

Lois turned around immediately and gave A.C. a long hug. Finally she said,"A.C., oh my God, what are you doing back in Smallville?"

"I'm here on buissness, well it kind of regards my job"said A.C.

"Wow, look at you all grown up, but still not color coordinated"laughed Lois.

"You looked pretty mad when you came in. Are you ok?"said A.C.

"I'm fine, well great now that your here, but I just had a little spiff with Smallville is all"said Lois brushing it off.

"Oh,ok. Well on that note, I was wondering if you would have dinner with me tonight?"said A.C. with a sweet smile.

Before Lois could give an answer, she thought about Clark, and no sonner than her thinking about him did he walk through the door of the Talon. Clark saw Lois and A.C. standing right next to each ther, he caught her gaze and held it, when Lois broke it and turned towards A.C.

"Yes, I would love to have dinner with you"said Lois, who had a heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach. She thought,'If Smallville can mess with me, then I'm going to teach him a lesson. Never mess with Lois Lane.'

"Good. I'll pick you up at 8."said A.C.

Lois really wanted to stcik the knife in deeper, so she grabbed A.C. and kissed him hard on the mouth.

Clark couldn't stand it anymore, he stormed out of the Talon, braking the glass door and super-sped home. Clark thought to himself,'I'm going to have to fight even harder, but I will show Lois how much I love her'.

Metropolis...Oliver's Apartment...

Oliver and Diana had a wild and passionate night last night, but inorder to really be happy they called an emergency meeting. When the rest of the league arrived, they wanted to know what the 911 was about.

"What's so important that it couldn't have waited until tomorrow?"said A.C.

"Why? Do you have a date or something?"scoffed Diana.

"As a matter of fact I do, but its a good thing I'm already in Metropolis, otherwise I would be late."said A.C.

"Anyway, Diana and I wanted to share some important news with you guys"said Oliver looking at Diana.

"Well spill it already"said Bart eating a burrito.

"Oliver and I are dating, and we just wanted to let you guys know that, so if we start acting all lovey-dovey around you guys, or when we don't show up for our usual lunch time gigs, that we'll be together"said Diana smiling and grabbing Oliver's hand.

"You two, wow! So what about Kent?"said Victor.

"Clark and I are just friends"said Diana.

"Well as long as know one else has gone after Chloelicious, then I'm good. Congraulations"said Bart.

"That's great, but I need to go pick up my date"said A.C.

"What girl agreed to go out with you?"laughed Victor.

"Lois Lane"said A.C., in a matter-of-fact way.

"Lois? Clark's Lois?"said Diana.

"Well if you mean the Lois that Clark knows, then yea. We had a thing a while back, so I guess were rekindling the romance tonight"said A.C.

"Oh, well have a good time"said Diana.

"Bye" said A.C. walking towards the elevator.

"Come on Bart let's go do some stuff"said Victor.

Oliver looked at Diana and noticed that something was wrong. "What is it?"he asked.

"Clark is in love with Lois"said Diana.

"It's about time, but don't worry, they'll work through this"said Oliver.
