[Challenge 17: Chloe's Discovery
In which Chloe learns something about Clark that she didn't know before.]
Clark was thoroughly grounded. He needed permission to be out of his dad's sight and couldn't leave the property until school started.
He deserved worse.
Chloe was in the kitchen one afternoon after chores. She looked sophisticated and grown-up. She smiled at him. He managed to smile back.
"How was your summer?" Chloe asked.
What could Clark say? I stole from you, Lionel Luthor, and dozens of Floridians. I blew up my spacecraft and killed mom's baby. I tortured a woman for information. I kidnapped Lex, raped him repeatedly, and fell in love.
"Fine," he said. "How about yours?"
Chloe had felt bad about researching Clark for Lionel. It's not nice to spy on your friends.
As they engaged in meaningless chitchat, and she watched Clark lie, she realized something that made her feel both better and worse.
They weren't really friends anymore.
