When Chloe woke up she found her self walking around within a deep mist. She couldn't see a thing through the fog until she saw a tall dark image in the distance. She saw his bright red eyes from the distance. As the image came closer she saw that it was a tall middle aged black man.

Then she said, "Martian Manhunter?"

"Please cal me John."

"Ok. John. What's going on where are we?"

"In your mind."

"Oh so I am dreaming."

"Yes and no."

"OK? I don't speak Martian. What's going on?"

"You are dreaming but I disrupted your normal REM cycles to show you something."

"Wow, and the Martian powers keep on coming. I should have known. You went into Clark's head that one time to save him from the phantom. But why come in mine?"

"I'm here to show you something."

"How your life would be like without Clark Kent."

Chloe froze as fear consumed her entire body. She couldn't stand it.

"Look, Martian Manhunter I don't appreciate you invading my privacy of my mind. I barely know you. You have no right…"

"You know of me. I know Clark has told you almost everything about me and our encounters. So I know Clark has told you that I've been watching him his whole life. A side effect of that is I've been watching you too."

Chloe cringed a bit creeped out that a Martian has been stalking her.

Then Chloe asked, "So?"

"I've seen what effect you have on him and what effect he has on you. And I can see what path it is leading you on. I was hoping to show you…"

"I don't see how showing me, my life without Clark is going to help in anyway."

"That is because you don't want to see it." John said with a stern yet sensitive voice.

"Chloe. I've seen you. I've seen how you and Clark and for the most part it is good. But I think it's to your benefit if you see this."

Chloe bit her lip reluctantly, bitterly she said, "Fine show me."

"Of course."

Chloe saw her alternate self walking at night in the streets of Metropolis. She was wearing a long beige trench coat talking on the cell phone.

"Lois, come on, give it a rest. You really don't need to set me up with some guy from your past."

"What? Really? You mean he's that cute little boy who was my first kiss? Lo, that's very cute but I'm done with men. I'm swearing off men after Jimmy…"

"Come on Lo. You're not exactly living happily ever after either. You don't see me trying to set you…"

"Hey, I couldn't just not let you know that the Green Arrow was giving me tips about the crime in Metropolis. You were my partner. I had to introduce you."

"Ok, fine, so what does this tell you cuz? So if me introducing you to the Green Arrow led to your heart break then…"

"I know it's not my fault. I'm just saying…don't set me up. Men are evil."

Chloe said sounding like a child. Then she took a deep breath and sighed,

"Jimmy broke my heart."

"Yeah, well he might say that but he was the one who gave up on us. But that's him he gives up on things so easy. He's such a coward."

"Whatever Lo. I know you're still friends. I'm over it."

"Of course all men aren't like Jimmy… they're worse."

"Yeah, yeah, ok, cuz fine.One little dinner. Just the main course no appetizers or desert. And if you leave me alone with this guy-who you think would be so great for me, so help me a little details about the girl who dated the most Justice League members will be all over the front page!"

"I love you too cuz. I'll see you there."

Then alternate Chloe put her phone back in her over sized red purse. When she looked up she saw a guy wearing a torn down hoodie and holding a knive up to her.

He said, "Hand over your purse. Lady."

Chloe grabbed a hold of her purse hugging it like it was a security blanket.

"Alright buddy. Just calm down. Let me just get my wallet and you can have all of my money."

Alternate Chloe started reaching into her purse Chloe saw that she was reaching for the pepper spray.

"No, give me the whole thing."

The guy grabbed it and Chloe started tugging it bag.

"No way. That's my livelihood."

"You won't have a life if you don't…"

And then alternate Chloe looked past the thug. At another man with a gun pointing at the thug.

"The lady said no."

The thug turned around putting his hands up in the air.

"OK, man don't shoot."

Chloe saw that this was George. She noticed her alternate self's relieved and excited reaction to see him.

Then George said, "Hand against the wall."

"What?"

"You're under arrest for bother the nice woman." He then took out his handcuffs and started to handcuff the guy.

Chloe looked him up and down impressed. She noticed he was wearing nice clothes a black blazer over a semi casual dress shirt.

Then she said, "Thank you officer? Or should I say detective? Are you off duty or do you like to dress up to catch perps?"

"I'm off duty, actually. I'm not a detective yet. But I'm working on it."

He started to take the guy away, "Miss, will you please come with me for a statement?"

"Of course, officer?"

"Dean. George Dean."

"George thanks for saving my computer, it's my life."
