Chapter 25

Chloe's eyes opened after her dream was over. Chloe looked around and found herself inside a green tank and medical wires on her. She saw Oliver, Clark, and Jean on the other side of her looking inside of the machine. She tried to beat the glass but no one heard them, not even Clark! She hit it again and again but it wouldn't budge. She began to feel desperate and frustration rise in her brain. Chloe closed her eyes one more time, then sent her fist straight to the glass and it shattered into billion of pieces. She fell onto the ground and gasping in air coughing the ooze in her lungs.

"Chloe!" yelled a male voice.

Chloe turned her head up and saw a pair of emerald eyes look straight at her. "Those eyes…." Chloe thought as she felt big arms wrap her small body. Chloe knew that it was Clark since he was wearing his red jacket as usually. Clark let go of their hard and long grasp and looked at each other one more time.

"Do you always save damsels in distress before or after they're getting kidnap?" Chloe asked smiling at Clark.

Clark shrugged, "It depends." He smiled down at her.

Chloe's smiled fade when she remembered the man and his smile….."No way! That was just a dream, nothing more…..right?" thought Chloe.

"Let's get out of here." Green Arrow said.

Chloe smiled at that thought and moved her body but nearly fell down to the ground. She was a little weak, so Clark offers to carry her to the jet. Before they enter the jet, they all found unconscious soldiers on the ground moaning and groaning. Bart and Victor came in a few minutes later.

"The necklace?" asked Clark

"We were too late." Victor answered, "He's at his kingdom now probably sitting on his shining throne."

"With his queen by his side." Chloe finished looking up at Clark.

Lex enters his office and found Lana sitting down near the fire. She as staring at the fire while it dances in flames. Lana looked up at her husband and smiled but looked worried.

"Lex, have you happen to know where Chloe is?" asked Lana, "I went to the Talon today and found broken glasses everywhere. I'm worried about her." Lana said.

"Lana, I'm sure Chloe is alright. She's probably at work writing a story." Lex said smiling.

"I went there earlier, one of her employers said she wasn't at work for 2 days." Lana said, "Lex, are you sure you haven't seen Chloe anywhere?"

Lex sighed, "She's probably somewhere else thinking. I'm sure she's fine. She'll probably call you late at night saying sorry."

Lana sighed and smiled at her husband. All of a sudden, Chloe burst inside the door standing still waiting for Lex to answer. Instead, Lana ran to her best friend and hugged her tightly.

"Lana….I miss you too….but can you…..let….me…..go…..NOW!" chocked Chloe.

Lana released her best friend, "Sorry but you had me worry all day! No one has seen you all day and the Talon apartment is found with broken vases."

"Are you sure that nobody has seen me all day? Maybe you should ask your husband?" Chloe said giving Lex an evil eye.

Lana turned to her husband, "Lex what is she talking about?"

"The broken vases and holes in the wall? Yeah, your husband sends mutants to kidnap me, so he and his little scientists turn me into those 33.1 people." Chloe said. "And he nearly killed me by putting me inside a tank full of green ooze from the meteor-rocks!"

The room was silent for a while until Lana said something.

"Lex, you told me that 33.1 don't exist." Lana said as she sat down, "You lied to me. And you used my best friend as a little experiment toy?"

"Lana….Chloe is lying. She always hated me since we first met and hate me even more since I got you pregnant." Lex said.

"She's not lying, Lex." Said a voice.

Clark came inside with the Justice Team and the X-men. They were all behind Clark and Chloe smiling.

"Hello Luthor." Green Arrow said. "I would like you to meet the X-men and the Justice Team."

"Give me the necklace now Lex or else-"

"Or else what, Clark? Kill me." Lex yelled

"No he won't but I will." Lara said.

Lex took the purple necklace out of his suit pocket and looked at it for a while and Chloe thought he was going to do a bargain like he always does if he wants something valuable.

"You want it?" Lex said as he reached it out. "If I can't have it, no one else will."

"NO!!!!!!" yelled a couple of voices as Lex dropped the necklace onto the ground.
