Jimmy Olson
Sitting behind his desk at the daily Planet, Jimmy fancied himself a cross between Tyrone Power and Humphrey Bogart. But if you asked Lois Lane, she would tell you that he had a greater resemblance to one of the three stooges. Regardless of either of their opinions, He always ended up being the one Lois went to when she needed help getting a compromising photograph. He was also the one would couldn't make up his mind about who he had a greater crush on, Chloe or Kara. He had a thing for blondes, Kara was beautiful and had legs that came up to her chin, Chloe was Petite and had the skills of a seductress. Today he was dreaming of Chloe, that is until Lois pushed his legs off of his desk and started barking orders…
"Get the lead out Junior; we've got a story to expose…"
"Lois! I'm already working on two deadlines….Can't you grab Tony from…"
"Are you kidding me? He doesn't listen to anything I tell him, and the last time I took him, he bailed on me!"
"Yea, well breaking and entering isn't exactly in our job descriptions!"
"So what? You know as well as I that if you want a shot at the big leagues, you have to take some chances…Now come on before we run out of time!"
Jimmy jumped up grabbed his equipment and started after her
"So what's the big story this time?"
"Lex Luther is having a clandesent meeting with a certain senator, and while you're getting proof, I'll be eavesdropping with the latest and greatest James Bond toy."
"How do you find these things out?"
"I have my sources…"
Lois had actually found out from her time with a certain James Davenport, she copied the all the information off of his hard drive, while she was distracting him with kisses. After which she made a very quick exit.
Today, her conscious was having a field day. Working on a story was seemed to be the best way to get her mind off of …him.
"Hey Lois…I was wondering…is Chloe still- I mean is she…"
"Look Romeo, you're never going to get anywhere with her by asking me about her"
"So…That means Lex is…"
"Out of the picture! And not soon enough if you ask me!"
Jimmy grinned and thought of the first time he meet Chloe Sullivan. She was new at the Planet, and they both were sent out to cover a press conference on a chemical spill at a Luther corp. plant. While all the others were asking questions, she grabbed Jimmy by the arm and said quietly "Follow Me."
His mouth hung open and he said in complete sincerity "Anywhere you want me too!"
Chloe looked at him for a second and just laughed. They snuck round to the inside of the plant and to an office, while she was downloading information off their company computers, he was taking pictures of a warehouse full of Drums filled with Hazardous Materials. As they were making there way back to the conference, they were almost caught by a security guard, but Chloe grabbed Jimmy and pushing him up against the wall she proceeded to make out with him, and not just kissing him, but really getting hot and heavy her hands wandering everywhere on him.
That was it for jimmy, he was in love, and before he could make a home run, she was off of him as quick as she had jumped on him. His heart was breaking. After that day, finishing what she had started was all he could ever thinks about when it came to Chloe.
Kara, on the other hand, seemed to be a giant contradiction. She was drop dead gorgeous, and yet her naivety and lack of confidence with men was nothing less than astounding to him. He had worked up the courage to ask her out after finding that she was constantly looking at him and blushing when he caught her staring.
He could never get her to go past kissing with him, and after six months of going together, it was more than he could stand; especially after he had found out about Chloe's breakup with Lex.
He was suddenly torn; and he was pouring on the charm with Kara even more. It blew up in his face.
"I know what this is about…"
"Come-on Kara…"
he had bought roses and sprinkled them on her bed at the farm, made a
dinner complete with wine and couple of old movie, he had even made a
fire. Kara was sitting on the couch and before he could make his
move…she stopped him." "I know what this is about…"
"Can't we just…"
"I know you're thinking about her…"
"No. I'm not…I'm…"
"I know,
because…I'm thinking about him…" Kara…How can you?
After everything he's done? Don't tell me your still in love with
him?"
"Stupid Huh? She cried in his arms and then he left. There was nothing else to say for either of them.
"So, Should I just call her up? Wait, that's a bad idea….maybe I could pay her a visit, see how she's recovering"
Pulling the car to a stop Lois jumped out of the car and said "Focus Jimmy! We don't have much time!"
"Oh yea…the story right!"
Prowling through the hotel, they went through the kitchen and then back through another door quickly dressing as a waiter and waitress; Lois placed a small device in a Flower arrangement on the table, and then exited into an adjoining room. Jimmy played the part of waiter.
"So I take it that everything is handled?" Lex lifts the glass and eyes it casually, Jimmy hiding on the far side of the room, behind two double doors, snaps a few quick pictures and then makes his way to Lois, who is listening in on the conversation. He gives her a thumbs up and makes a quick exit out back. He goes back to the planet and downloads the pictures and then heads upstairs to catch up with Chloe. When he walks in, he finds Kal-el leaning over Chloe and frowns, tall and good-looking, Jimmy thinks That Chloe has found a new boyfriend a little too quickly
"Hey…Chloe…do you have a minute?" The doubt was very evident in his voice, and it id nothing but amuse Chloe and sir her passions to no end. There was something about him when he was nervous that made her want to attack him. Being caught between the new Clark Kent and Jimmy Olson made her almost giggle. "Clark" was being extra attentive, he was obviously in a mood; no doubt because of something Lois had said or done.
"Jimmy! Have you met Kara's cousin Clark? Clark this is Jimmy Olson…"
"Jimmy reluctantly held out his hand and Clark quickly took it."
"I understand you use to date my cousin?" He asked in an attempt to intimidate Jimmy.
"Yea, well…we're still friends…By the way…why hasn't she mentioned you before?"
"I only just arrived in town…Our parents didn't talk much…it's a long story…"
"I have nothing but time!" jimmy countered, he was determined not to let the over grown Farm boy get the best of him.
"Ugh Jimmy…you said you wanted to talk to me?"
He looked back over at Chloe and forgot all about Clark.
Clark walked around the room and then started out the door…"ill catch you later on tonight…around seven…okay?"
"It's a date…" she answered before thinking
"Great!" he smiled a large smile at Jimmy and walked out the door.
"Don't tell me you're going out with him!"
"As a matter of fact…"
Jimmy sat in a chair and pulled it in front of her, and then said almost in a whisper…what about us?"
"Jimmy, just because we made out that one time doesn't mean…" But she didn't get to finish. He decided he was going full speed ahead, and he was taking Chloe with him.
One look Kara's cousin, and he knew he was out of time. So he pulled her to him so that she was in his lap and started his best lip lock, minutes later she was locking the door, and he was having a little fun.
Sam Spade couldn't have done it better himself.
