Chloe woke up in Oliver Queen's bed euphoric. She gazed out of the night sky full of peace. She looked out at the city scape of Metropolis and couldn't believe she was going to leave it all behind. She walked out and tied her green silky robe on tightly. She saw the big golden Globe of Daily Planet spinning. Could she really leave that behind? Could she leave her cousin? Her cousin. Her partner. She was more of a sister to her then a cousin. Could she really leave her behind? She had fought so hard to keep them as partners. What would Perry do with her, if Chloe left? He was being a little backwards. Lois didn't need a partner. She could do things by herself without… who was she kidding. She worried about her cousin running after stories going head first and thinking of safer ways to go about it, like she had learned. That was fine, since she was there to look out for her. There was a whole town of super heroes who happened to be there to keep her safe. But now most of them were leaving. They were all being stationed back into their home cities to help better protect the world. Lois would be fine. Clark would still be in this city. And she was sure their paths would cross, he would make sure she would be safe. She hoped.
Chloe folded her arms and held onto the railing of the balcony and then she saw a big red blur come out of no where. She saw Clark floating there with his arms folded. Chloe smiled warmly and said, "Clark I was just thinking about you."
"Really. You could have fooled me." Clark said agitated.
"Are you mad at me?" Chloe asked shocked.
"Yes, Chloe, I'm mad at you. You left me with Lois and disaster struck."
"Disaster? Really? That's not how Lois told it." Chloe said smirking.
Clark rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah, for her it's just another time she meets a super hero. With Justice League I'm sure she's used to it by now."
"Clark. Lois doesn't see you as just another Super Hero. She sees your arrival as the story of the century. You should take it as a compliment." Chloe said.
"A compliment. Chloe, she's writing a story about me and you're not doing whatever it takes to get her to drop it?"
"Clark, I don't do that anymore. I've learned that lesson with Ollie. I don't have to ruin people who I care about careers just to protect others. Now we report on the super heroes and their disguises it keeps their identities safe."
Clark sighed, "I guess that will work but for how long? Do I really have to wear glasses every time I see Lois, now?"
Chloe tried to suppress her laughter but she was finding it very difficult and she snickered.
"It looks that way. Superman."
"Chlo, please don't call me that."
"What? You don't like the name? I think it suits you well. It's better then Boy Scout."
"Yeah, it's better then Boy Scout, at least but it's just so presumptuous."
Chloe touched Clark's arm and said reassuringly, "Clark, you're a man now. It suits you just fine. And I doubt you actually picked it out."
"Yeah, Lois just assumed with the "S" symbol and all."
"Oh, she didn't get it was the symbol from your alien family crest. How did she miss that?" Chloe teased.
Then Clark said, "Yeah, well, I don't know what to do now."
"Clark, I think you do know exactly what to do, now."
"Chloe." Clark said not sounding too happy.
"You were looking for a disguise. I think you found it." Chloe practically jumped up with excitement.
"No way, Chloe. I'm not wearing a pair of horned rimmed glasses where ever I go now."
"Clark, it's perfect. You're a journalist slash super hero. It will give you that smart sophiscated look if not slightly geeky. No one will suspect a geeky guy who falls all over himself to be Superman. It's great two completely different identities."
Clark leaned on the edge on the balcony folding his arms and said, "I guess that will work. So I guess congratulations are in order."
Clark pointed to Chloe's ring. Chloe looked on her finger and smiled biting her lip happily, "Yeah. He proposed today."
Clark looked at Chloe looking a little sad and looked deep with in her green eyes and said, "Well, congratulations. I hope he makes you happy."
"He does. I know he will. He's my life now."
"Well, not your whole life I'm sure. You still have the Daily Planet right?"
Chloe gazed out into the night sky reflectively and said, "Actually, no. I'm going to quit. I'm moving to Star City. Ollie needs to be there. Star City desperately needs a hero."
"Chloe, you can't be serious?"
"I'm serious."
"But the Daily Planet is your whole life. What about Lois? What about your partnership? You can't just abandon her." Clark said frantic.
"I'm not. I'm just moving on to the next stage of my life. I've been partners with Lois for almost four years. It's been amazing. There has been a lot of bumps on the road, but it's been great. I've lead my dream. I've made it to the top of the Daily Planet with my cousin by my side. I loved every exciting minute of it."
"So why leave it?"
"Clark, I've accomplished my dream. And I have a new dream now." Chloe said.
"What about you're Pultzer?"
"Clark, I probably could still chase after that. I'm going to Star City not Mars. It has a News Paper there."
"I thought the Daily Planet was the best News Paper in the world. How can you go to the very vague competition?" Clark asked.
Chloe store straight in Clark deep blue eyes and said simply, "Clark, I love him. And he has to go to Star City. We were going to leave each other. He would go off being the super hero and I would stay here being a reporter. And maybe it would be right. And I wouldn't abandon Lois but I would feel empty."
"Chloe. Don't you think you're being a little over dramatic?" Clark asked peeved.
"No. Clark, when you find the right person for you, you'll understand too." Chloe said.
"The Chloe Sullivan I know wouldn't give up everything for some guy." Clark said.
"Clark, the Chloe Sullivan you knew lived everyday for you. My career always took a back seat to you. If you didn't leave when you did I probably would end up giving it up for you. While you were gone I learned how to manage while still protecting and helping Ollie and the League. Clark, I would have done anything for you because I loved you but now…"
"Now, you love Ollie. I get it."
Chloe looked at Clark very serious and said, "Is this really about the Daily Planet? I know you always supported my career but are you really upset about the Daily Planet or is it something more?"
Clark looked at Chloe sadly and said, "I just don't want you to give up on your dream that's all."
"Clark. Did you dream that you'd end up being a reporter or that you would fly around saving the world?"
"Actually Chlo. I did."
"Come on Clark. We both know your dreams consisted of ending up on the farm with Lana."
"That's one of my dreams. I kind of had both. I always fought it. But there was always part of me that saw my self the way you saw me. There was a part of me that wanted to become that hero you always saw in me. There was part of me that wanted to be by your side at the Daily Planet." Clark said filled with tenderness.
"Clark."
Clark took Chloe's hand and said, "Chloe don't marry him."
Chloe let go of his hand. She saw the deep ache on his face. She was about to leave. She was about to tell him to leave. She wanted to yell and scream at him for having her pine all of those years. He deserved what he got for not seeing her or not acting on that part of him that wanted her, that part he always tried to bury until it was time for him to leave. It was too late she loved Ollie. How could he do this to her now? Then she looked at her best friend's hurting aching face and felt compassion and she said,
"Clark, I may have represented your super hero life for you and Lana may have represented your normal life but we were both in your past. The truth is you never really truly embraced either of us. Maybe the reason for that was that deep down you knew you can't love someone for what they represent or for what they stand for."
"What about you and Ollie? Are you honestly telling me you don't love him because he's a hero?"
"That's a very big part of him that I love. But there's more to him then just that. I love him for his details. I love the curve of his lips when he smirks. I love the guy who uses his money for good. I love the person he is during the day as well who he is at night. I love him Clark. I love both of his identities and the person he has reserved for only me."
"Chloe, I don't need to know this."
"But you do Clark. Lana and I are your dreams of your past now it's time to look to the future. Maybe you need to go with everything you did with me and Lana so you know what to look for in a girl in the future. Maybe you can find a girl who not only represents both of those worlds but who is right for you. And maybe with never seeing me now you will know how to keep your eyes open and not miss what's right in front of you this time around."
Clark turned around and gazed up in the sky and then he turned around, "Chloe, I know what your doing."
"What?"
"You're trying to set me up with Lois. So you don't feel guilty for ending up with her ex-boyfriend." Clark said darkly.
Chloe pursed her lips patiently and said, "I wasn't talking about Lois in particularly Clark. But if she's the first person who came to your mind what does that tell you?"
"Please Chloe, all you have done for the pass few months was try to set up a time for me and Lois to get together. Then today you practically force me to go out on assignment."
"Oh, yeah, Clark it was all part of my evil plan. I constructed the Jet and made it burst into flames and I made Lois kiss you. Please Clark." Chloe spat out peeved.
"Chloe, are you telling me you didn't expect something to happen. Come on you were hoping for it."
"Clark, I asked you to do that so that you could be there in case my cousin got in trouble and she did. But yeah, I was glad something did happen and maybe part of me wanted for something to happen, not because I felt guilty I got over that Lois practically pushed me and Ollie together, but because I want my cousin and my best friend to be happy." Chloe said irritated.
Clark sighed, "I know you do Chlo, it's just hard. Everything is so different now. I do want you to be happy too and if Ollie does that for you. I'm happy for you."
Clark leaned down and hugged her. Chloe wrapped her arms around him in a sweet soft hug. Then Chloe patted his back and said, "I know you'll find your own happiness too Clark."
Then they both parted with small smiles on their faces. Then Chloe said, "And Clark I'm sorry if I seemed like I set you and Lois up. I will not meddle if you don't want me to."
Then Clark said, "It's ok Chlo. I get it, you care. It's just frustrating feeling like old times with Lois but at the same time it felt just so different and unknown. It's kind of scary facing that with out you."
Chloe smiled warmly and said, "I think you'll do fine."
Clark hugged Chloe one more time and then he parted from her, his face tensed up hearing something.
"What is it?"
"Someone is in trouble. I have to go." Clark said and then he flew away. Chloe stared at the red cape of her best friend flying away. Very pleased with them both looking to the future.
