Identity Effect

Chapter 5

At Chloe and Clark's

Chloe just entered the door of the apartment and saw Clark on the sofa with the player in his hands somewhere deep in the backs of his mind.

"Clark" she tapped him on the shoulder.

He 'woke up' and turned the music off.

"Hi, sorry, I didn't want to interrupt you. Just wanted to tell you, I'm home"

"Ok" he said standing up. "How was the meeting with your sisters?"

"Don't ask" and she disappeared in her room, taking of the coat.

Clark heard the knock on the door and went to open it. His jaw dropped when he saw who was knocking.

"Clark?"

"Julie?" they asked at the sight of each other.

"What's going on?" Chloe, hearing strange sounds, showed up.

"JJ?" she said confused.

"JJ?" Clark looked at her and then turned back to the dark-haired. "Weren't your name Julie in the morning?"

"Yes. Only my mother calls me JJ" Julie responded. "You live together?"

The three of them entered the room.

"Yeah. We are friend and both decided to move from Metropolis" answered Chloe.

"So you're..." started Julie unsure.

"Roommates" Clark finished for her.

"Oh"

"Did you, girls, meet before?" Clark asked, realizing where the 'JJ' came from.

"Well" Chlo started. "Do you remember I've told you about that I found my mother and that I had two sisters?"

He nodded.

"So, here's one of them. I guess, Julie would be better then JJ?" she looked at the girl in front of her.

"Yeah. Julie Johnson"

"Wow..." Clark muttered.

'So, how did you find me? Or were you looking for Clark? Couse, it looks like you know each other too..."

"We do" answered Julie for both, Clark an herself. "But I didn't know where you lived, Clark, I'm glad I do know. But I'm here, actually, to see you, Chloe. I'm sorry about Sam"

Clark, understanding that it probably was a family thing, retired to his room.

"No big deal. But I thought you both would react like she did" Chloe answered, heading to the kitchen. "Do you want coke or something?"

"No, thanks" answered Julie and followed Chlo to sit on the stool. "You know, Sam's just really hard on everyone, even me. She'll get use to you. You just have to understand that we were really shocked. I bet it was shock for you too"

"Yes. I thought if I moved from Smallville everything would be different. Then I come to Gotham and Bam! find my mother over here, whom I haven't seen since I was four" Chloe took a drink of the drink.

"Sorry again" Juls smiled sadly.

"It's not your fault" Chloe smiled back.

"Look, I really want to get to know you better, because...well because you're my sister, no matter how strange it is" she laughed, but that sadness still in her eyes.

"Me too, Julie. Me too" Chloe nodded.

At Johnson Manor...

"Samantha" Clarissa called out.

"What?" her daughter came from her bed room.

"I've got two news for you: bad and good. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Today I don't want to hear you at all, but if I don't have a choice, then bad" she answered sarcastically.

"You'll have to deal with Chloe being around" her mom sat on the couch.

"A-ha. Dream on" the girl muttered.

"Don't mutter anything. If you want to say something, say it, but never hiss. You've got it?" Clarissa said more strictly.

"What else did you want to tell me?" Sam said laud, almost spelling every word.

"Wayne is throwing a party in two weeks. Everyone is invited: Julie, me and you" Clarissa said.

Samantha froze for a minuet.

"So, Bruce is back to his bachelor-funny-carefree life, isn't he?" she finally said, breathing hard.

"I wouldn't say so, but..." Clarissa commented. "Every invitation is for two persons, so find someone with whom you can go, Sam"

Then she went out of the room, leaving her daughter with the tears building in the back of her eyes. But Sam wouldn't cry anymore. She spent too much time crying over Bruce Wayne. She, Samantha Lenore Johnson would never ever cry anymore over him.
