That encounter lead to close to a year of hiding at her father's house. He was the only one who knew that she was pregnant and who the father was. He didn't push her and helped her every step of the way.
She pulled up to the office building and got her son out of the back seat. 'Well today he is going to find out'
"Miss Sullivan. Mr. Luther is waiting for you." The secretary said.
"Ok, thanks" she said as she nervously pushed open the door. She kept the child behind her as she entered.
"Chloe, its nice to see you again. Please have a seat, I'll be right with you." Lex said. 'Well he's in a good, mood.' She thought. He was still facing the window while he finished is conversation. "Ok, let me know when that prototype will be done. Ok, talk to you later, bye." He turned around to hang up the phone. "Chloe, how have you been," he said. "Its so good to see you"
"Wow, Lex Luther in a good mood. This can't be good" Chloe said with a smile. "Well I hope what I have to tell you won't ruin it"
"What is it"
She didn't say anything at first; she just pulled the little arm out from behind her. With it was the little boy with the red locks. He had his thumb in his mouth. Lex's mouth hung open. "I didn't know you had a kid." He paused. "Whose the father?" he asked, but he already knew the answer. The hair look like his before the meteor shower took it.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't look at him as she said it. "You are Lex." He walked over to the woman and hugged her.
"Oh Chloe, why didn't you tell me?" he sighed. He bent down to look at the boy. "He has my hair," Chloe smiled
"Lex you don't have any hair" she said with a laugh.
"Well uh, you know what I mean" he said quickly. "Does he have a name?"
"Oh, where are my manners, Lex, this is Anthony. Anthony," she said, kneeling down to the boy. "This is you dad."
"Hi," the boy said shyly. He quickly hid behind his mother again.
Lex smiled. He had not dated since Helen left. Most people though it was because he was still heartbroken about her leaving. The divorce was a quiet one. Her demands were not unreasonable and the split was barely noticed by the media. The truth was that he had been waiting until Chloe started talking to him again. He never understood why she would disappear for about a year. She never mentioned that she had a kid on their phone interviews.
He was about to ask her about that when the building started to shake and the wall exploded. Chloe screamed, picked up Anthony and rushed to the far wall. Lex on the other hand, was glaring at the blue clad hero who had just given his office a new window.
"Can't you use the door like everyone else?" he said angrily. "Do you know how much I've spent fixing the holes you make!"
"Sorry Luther" Superman said, "but you have gone to far this time. Where's Lois?"
"I have no clue where she is. What are you, her personal bodyguard? Maybe, she is out with her fiancé. Why don't you go bother Kent." Lex said bitterly.
Chloe looked up from her spot in the corner. Anthony started to cry, he was afraid to the man who just burst into the room. Superman heard the crying and spun around. He was shocked to see Chloe holding a redheaded little boy. "Lex. I think I better go." She said glaring at superman, 'Clark, what are you doing' she thought. She was angry; she could have just blown his cover right there. But she didn't. She had promised him years ago that she would not tell anybody.
"Ok Chloe, it was nice seeing you again." He walked over to her and walked her to the door. "If you ever need anything, you have my number"
"Don't worry, I will"
Lex closed the door and turned around. He was about to give the 'man of steel' a piece of his mind but was meet with a new hole in the wall and an empty office.
