Chloe tossed and turned in her bed trying to forget her stark worry. She couldn't take it anymore. She finally conceded she knew there would be no blissful sleep tonight. So she got up putting on her robe.

After doing this she heard a noise, a Tap, Tap, Tap sound came from her living room. She investigated further and reached an empty living room. The noise came from her balcony. Clark stood out there. Although Chloe had seen Clark earlier Chloe surprised her self with how happy she was to see him.

She smiled a wide toothy grin, "Clark what are you doing here so late?"

"I was just flying back home and passed here and I found myself here. If it's inappropriate I can leave."

"No I'm glad you're here. I could use a friend right now."

"What's wrong? Is it Ollie? Did he…"

"Clark relax, Ollie's good. I'm sorry I didn't mention we were together earlier though."

"No, it just never came up. No big deal."

"No, it is a big deal Clark. I just didn't know how to say it. How ever I put it I know I would come out….guilty." Chloe said shrinking a little.

"I understand that."

"Oh."

"So now all of these Lois partner problems are starting to make sense."

"I know. You think I'm horrible don't you?"

"No. Not exactly." Clark smirked.

Chloe laughed and then Clark joined her laughter.

"So it must be hard still keeping secrets like that from Lois while being her partner."

"It was until…well she knows about Ollie."

"About you and Ollie?"

"Yeah…that and…and…"

"And what?"

"The whole Green Arrow thing."

"Wait you mean the whole … all … how…?"

Chloe didn't look Clark in the face then she said, "Well it's a long story."

"Hey I've got time tell me."

Chloe hesitated and then she sat down, "Fine. If I can't tell you who can I tell?"

Then Chloe told him the whole thing how Lois found out about the Justice League and how Lois found out about Ollie.

"So how did she take it?"

"Better then I expected."

Then Chloe told Clark in detail how what happened with Lois that night after Lois caught Chloe and Oliver kissing.

Chloe came into Lois and hers apartment.

"Lois I'm so sorry." Chloe said as she saw Lois sitting in the couch staring at the blank T.V.

"So what is this apology for? You kissing my X-boyfriend or for lying to me about covering for my x-boyfriend about him being the Green Arrow?"

"Uh…both."

Then Chloe sat next to Lois, "About me keeping his secret I'm sorry but I had to keep his secret he is a great hero. And as for kissing your x-boyfriend…I'm so sorry. I have no idea where that came from. That was the first time that happened I swear."

"I know and Chloe I heard what you said I know you regretted it because of me."

"So we're ok?"

Lois breathed out, "You're my cousin Chloe we're going to be ok only if you tell me the truth."

"For now on Lois."

"How long have you known?"

"Uh…"

"Chloe."

"Ok, a long time."

"Did you know when Ollie and I were together?"

"I had my suspicions."

"So when were your suspicions confirmed exactly?"

"Uh?"

"When he told you?"

"No. He didn't tell me. I figured it out."

"Oh, so you investigated him."

"Lois, does it matter?"

"Yes, Chloe it does matter. Did you know while I was with him or not?"

"Only towards the end." Chloe said quickly.

Lois stared at the blank T.V.

"Oh, so that's why he…"

"No him leaving had nothing to do with me. I barely knew him back then."

"Yeah. You only knew his deepest darkest secret."

"Lo. I'm sorry for that."

"So how did you find out?"

"Look Lo, I promised you I wouldn't lie. So I'm not going to, but I'm going to have to omit that info for now. It's not my secret to tell."

"But I already know Ollie's secret now so what's the big deal?"

"It's just it's just…complicated."

"So you just figured it out. So I'm guessing you can't tell me who was posing as the Green Arrow when I kissed him and Ollie came then?"

"I'm sorry Lo."

Lois looked away out of the window folding her arms.

She breathed out deeply. Chloe's heart was breaking seeing Lois' hurt expressions.

Lois sighed, "You know for the longest time I thought the Green Arrow was some kind of hero. But as time went on it didn't seem like he was the same guy that kissed me. That guy seemed different. I don't know how to explain it. Then I hear more of the Green Arrow sneaking around in the shadows and robbing from the rich giving to the poor and seemed more like a vigilante then a hero."

"Lois super powers don't make the hero. The man makes the hero. Oliver may not have powers but he does what has to be done to save people. He chooses to go out there and fight for justice because it's the right thing to do."

Lois smiled a little at Chloe.

"You really think he is a great hero, don't you?"

"Yes, Lois I really do."

"Are you in love with him?"

Chloe stood up.

"Lois…I…"

"Chloe come on this is me you're older cousin. I was there for you all through your horrid unrequited crush on Clark; I was there through all of the ups and downs with Jimmy and I was there for you when it was finally over between you two. Why can't you tell me about this?"

"Lois, it's wrong. I know part of you still loves Oliver. And even if you are totally over him it still would be wrong. I saw him break your heart. He was the only guy that you let your guard down with and he broke your heart. I couldn't even consider…"

"Chloe I asked you if you're in love with him not if you wouldn't consider him because he broke my heart."

Chloe sat down meekly, "What's the difference?"

"Chloe answer the question."

Chloe sat there for a while staring into the vast void and then after a long silence she said, "Boy Scout."

"What?"

"That's the code name of the guy that helped Ollie out by pretending he was the Green Arrow."

"Ok, Chloe that wasn't the question I was referring to."

"I know but I am going to have to answer that question. Because honestly Lois I don't know."

"Ok, then, so Boy Scout, huh? So you know him then?"

Chloe shrugged.

"Right, ok miss secret keeper. Well thanks for telling me that much then."

"Lois thanks for being so understanding."

Then Lois smiled weakly, "What are cousins for?"

When Chloe finished telling Clark she noticed Clark's outraged expression.

"I can't believe you told Lois about what happened?"

"Clark I didn't say it was Clark Kent. I told her it was Boy Scout. She doesn't have a clue it's you."

Clark shook his head.

"I guess that's ok."

"Thank you."

"So what are you going to do about this whole partnership thing?"

"Well, Lois talked to the chief and all we have to do is show a united front and we're back in star reporter status in his eyes."

"Oh, that's good problem solved then."

"Yeah." Chloe said folding her arms gazing out the window.

"Something tells me you don't think so."

"I…I hope it all works out for the best. But what if it doesn't? What if the problem is Lois just can't stand being in the same room with Oliver and me. And we are always talking in code and I don't blame her for feeling left out. What if I really will have to choose between my boyfriend and my cousin? Clark."

"I don't know Chlo, you'll figure it out. If anyone can make the whole double identity thing work it's you."

Chloe smiled starting to feel less stressed out.

"Thanks Clark. So are you going to do the whole duel identity thing too?"

"Well, yeah, I mean I have planned on it after I go on my training. Now here I am and it's all kind of scary. I mean I have all of this Kryptonian knowledge now I just have to figure out what to do with it."

"I know you'll figure it out Clark. If anyone was destined to be a super hero Clark it was you."

Clark smiled warmly he moved closer to Chloe truly touched, "Thanks for that."

"What are friends for?" Chloe asked.
