Chlark: Soulmates Part XII

Rating: K

Pairing: Chloe/Clark, and Bruce/Diana mentions of Chloe/Oliver, Lois and Clark

Summary: Ok I had this story in my head for a while so I thought I write it down. Originally this was just going to be a simple two-shot but I decided to make it into a series of two-shots with different scenarios. Using songs to express different points of views of Clark and Chloe, so here is another one. Clark's POV will expressed with the song 'If I Could Turn Back Time' by Cher and Chloe's POV will be expressed with the song 'Save the Best for Last' by Vanessa Williams. Ihave been thinking of how to make Chloe Power Girl for a while in this two shot series so today I was listen to two of my favorite songs and got an idea. So here it is it has been 40 years since the fateful day that Chloe Sullivan was killed by Lex only to die Oliver Queen's arms. As a witness to the death of his onetime best friend Clark Kent regretted the way he treated her. Now ten years after the death of Lois Lane Kent his wife and cousin of Chloe Sullivan Clark is realizing that a certain Karen Starr computer programmer might be his long dead best friend and the woman he always has loved.

(Chloe's POV)

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it's all a big surprise
'Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You'd tell me this was love
It's not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it's enough

The day after Chloe Sullivan's birthday Karen Starr was back at the graveyard visiting Oliver Queen's grave who died five years ago. When Oliver died she had no clue that she was his supposed dead wife Chloe Sullivan let alone the mother of his now adult son Connor Hawk Queen. Connor was only a week old when Chloe was killed by Lex dying in her husband arms. She also remembers that Clark saw the whole thing and was heartbroken himself but she only hope he was there for his girlfriend and her cousin because Lois had just told her she was seven months pregnant. That was a miracle baby because Clark was not even sure he could have kids. Chloe never knew what happened.

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

She remembers the first time she was back as Karen Starr and the help Lois and Clark helped her adjust back into life with her new powers. So here she was Power Girl and Karen Starr a computer programmer that is a far cry from Watchtower who used to hack into security files to protect Clark's secret.

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
You wondered how you'd make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

[She crotched down to the grave and put the flowers down to talk to Oliver.]

Karen: Hey Ollie bet you never would have thought that the woman you have worked beside for years was your supposed dead wife. Come to think of it something that started out just for fun like a friends with benefits thing turned into something more. Connor has grown into an amazing man the more I look at him he looks so much like my father that is good to see. I love you Ollie and miss you and I was glad Dinah was there for you when I couldn't be.

[When she was done speaking she stood there pondering if she should tell Clark that his long dead best friend is alive.]

'Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

The funny thing is she would have never thought the day she met Clark Kent it would change her life. She remembers being the first to kiss him and they became friends. She loved Clark from the first time she met him and knew he was the love of her life but Clark never saw it. Their relationship has always been indefinable. When she looks at Jason she sees the young farm-boy she has always loved and always will love.

And now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

Sometimes the very thing you're looking for
Is the one thing you can't see

After she was done at Oliver's grave she headed over to the grave of a dear friend and first husband that she loved. The funny thing is he may have been the causality of a mistake that she made but she loved him no doubt about that. She may have loved him but like Oliver he was always Chloe's second choice because first in her heart will always be Clark Kent the flannel loving farm-boy alien that she fell in love with the first day in Smallville.

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes 'round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

You went and saved the best for last

[She bends down and touches the grave speaking.]

Karen: Jimmy I sorry I have not been around to visit more often. You have probably figured out that I did not remember the life of Chloe Sullivan but now I do. I miss you and sorry you got in the middle of my mistake with Davis. Yes I am taking all the responsibility for it no matter how much I want to blame Clark it was my fault more than his. That mistake tore a friendship built on years apart I miss him and hope one day I can tell him I love him and that never has gone away.

(Just then a figure stepped out behind the shadows walking over to her. Then without her turning around he spoke.)

Clark: I think you just did Chlo.

(Karen turned around to see Clark standing behind there with a spark in his eyes that she has not seen in a long time.)

Karen: Chlo no one has called me that in a long time. Just so you know I am proud of the hero you have become.

Clark: Thank you Chloe it has been because I finally saw whatever you saw in me. How are you alive?

Karen: Let's just say a certain AI is involved.

Clark: Jor-El even now he still has his secrets. It just matters that you are here now and I'm in love with you and always have been.

Karen: I meant what I said I love you and that has never stopped.

(Then Clark kissed her. He pulled away just holding her in his arms)

Clark: You know Bruce once asked me why I look at you at times like I have seen a ghost.

Karen: Funny his wife Diana used to say something similar to me. Anyway how did our kids become good friends?

Clark: They grew up together even though I was gone for the first year of their lives. Yes I did abandon Lois when she was pregnant but realized my mistake after my grief.

Karen: So when you came back you discovered that they were friends. Clark you got to stop running when things get tough.

Clark: After Lois died it is the last time but I hope to make things up to you Chlo.

Karen: I hope to do the same. You know every time I look at your son Jason Samuel Kent I see the farm-boy I first fell in love with.

Clark: I feel the same way with Connor.

(Then he kissed her again and they flew off to spend time together.)

[In the heavens the ghost of Henry James Olsen, Lois Joann Lane, and Oliver Jonas Queen were smiling down at the scene they just saw. Finally two separated friends who were always meant to be finally made their way back to each other.]
