A/N-Here is chapter 10. Enjoy!

"Don't you think Chloe and Oliver are keeping something from us?" Lois asked as Clark came into the Daily Planet.

"A hello good morning would have been nice first before you jumped into anything else." He answered.

Lois just handed him a stack of files and went her own way without uttering anything else, Clark huffed and sat at his desk. Lois always seemed more occupied in other people's lives other than her own and sometimes Clark thought that she didn't want to take the time to think about herself because she would feel certain things were missing and wish it was different or maybe he was totally wrong and she just loved meddling.

"Hey C.K we have a job." Jimmy Olsen the ever excited photographer said as he entered.

Clark stopped his thoughts. "What is it?"

"Well Lois wants us to help with the decorating at the talon."

"Why do we have to decorate the talon?"

"Lois is having a welcome back party for Chloe and they need help decorating."

Clark sighed at the thought of Lois ordering people around the talon, a week had passed since Chloe came back and Lois now decided to throw her a party. There had to be a real reason why she would do this all of a sudden, then again sometimes she did do things without a hidden objective and well this was probably one of them but he would have to keep an eye on things.

"So you coming or not?" Jimmy asked.

Clark nodded.

Chloe walked out the elevator and stepped into Oliver's pad, she saw him in his Green Arrow gear. She walked up the few stairs and looked at him checking one of his arrows.

"You missed me huh?" Oliver faced her, a tiny smile on his lips.

"If I say yes will you hold it against me?"

"No but I'll hold you against me." He said pulling her towards him.

Chloe looked up at him smiling. "Shouldn't you go save the world from bad guys now?"

"Yes, I'm on my way but I need a little good luck first."

Oliver passed his hands on her cheek and then bent his head towards her and their lips touched gently and sweetly together, the feeling that Oliver had inside could not be described into words. All he knew was that it was great having her in his arms and with him at this moment.

"Lois wants you to come to the talon." Chloe said after their kiss was over.

Oliver chuckled. "I wonder what for."

"Well you know Lois."

Oliver put on his semi mask and kissed her on her forehead. "I would love to stay here with you but I have to be on my way."

"It's okay; just don't forget you have to come to the talon."

"I won't." Oliver said as he left.

"Lois I'm doing the best that I can." Clark yelled at Lois.

Lois marched over to Clark who was trying to put up a sign saying 'Welcome Back' in the talon. "It's so simple Smallville."

Clark looked at her. "Would you like to do it then?"

"A little to the right." Lois instructed him ignoring his question.

He sighed loudly. Why did he get himself into this, it was true he agreed to help mainly because the party was for Chloe but also to see exactly what Lois was up too. Everything seemed normal but it could be a cover up for something else, Clark then smiled at how far his mind travelled over something as simple as the party. It wasn't his fault that he couldn't think straight since Chloe was here, he was just so happy that she was back again.

"Is this better Lois?"

She narrowed her eyes to look at it. "Much better now go help put up some balloons over there."

He silently walked over to the helium pump and did what he was told to.

"Lois can be really demanding at times huh?" A soft female voice said.

He raised his head. "Lana!"

The look on Clark's face was of shock and amazement.

"Such a lot going on here. What are you guys decorating the talon for?"

Clark's expression slowly sunk. "Um it's a welcome back party for Chloe."

Lana's eyes shot at the sign and then back to Clark. "Chloe came back? When? And why didn't anyone tell me?"

"About a week ago and it did occur to me to look you up but no one knew where you were."

A faint smile appeared on Lana's face, Clark felt bad that she didn't even know her best friend was in Smallville again but it wasn't anyone's fault because they didn't have a clue where she was. He looked at her, it had been awhile since he saw her but when he looked at her no feeling came to him. Before it was different but now nothing.

"What are you doing in Smallville anyway?" he wondered.

"Nothing in particular."

"LANA!" Lois exclaimed.

She grinned at Lois. "Hi."

Lois pulled Clark aside apologizing to Lana. "Did you know she was here in Smallville all this time?"

"No Lois, I'm just as surprised as you are."

Lois smiled and looked at Lana.

"Okay well since your here you can help out, I bet there is something to do there so hop to it." She said as she pointed in the direction of the counter.

She chuckled. "Sure,"

A little later Oliver walked into the talon he looked at everything that had been done then at the sign; he sighed and walked over to Lois who was still ordering people.

"You wanted to see me?"

Lois turned around. "Okay Oliver there really isn't any reason I wanted to see you but to please get Chloe over here without her getting any suspicions that something is up."

Oliver looked at her with furrowed eyebrows. "Okay then."

"Chloe is on her way." Someone came in and said.

"Well you don't need me anymore."
