Identity Effect
Chapter 8
At Chloe and Clark's...
Chloe was putting the make-up on when Clark entered her room, looking like Man in black.
"Wow" Chloe exclaimed, turning to face the guy from the mirror. "And where are you going?"
"To the party. This guy from Wayne Corporation throws it"
"Bruce, I believe?"
"Yeah, how do you know?"
Chloe turned her gaze to the long blue dress on the bed.
"Oh, with whom?"
"This Wayne guy!"
"Shut up!" Clark looked at he with a bit of both: confusion and surprise. "Really?"
"Yes! Is that so hard to believe?"
"No, actually. It's not hard to imagine you with a billionaire....sorry..."
"It's ok. You're probably right. But we're just friends with Bruce, so...at least, he said so..."
"Ok. I'd better go" and he made his way to the door when she called him.
"And with whom are you going?"
"With your sister" and with that Clark retired to his room.
At Johnson Mansion...
Clarissa was about to call her daughters when she saw Sam, leaving the house.
"Sam!" she cried for the girl to hear. "Where are you going?"
"To the party. Where else?" she answered sarcastically, turning to look at her mother. Samantha was wearing a knee-length black dress with a really 'open' décolleté, and a sink shawl, wrapped around her back. "What do you want, mom? The car's waiting"
"Car? With whom are you going?"
"With one old friend"
"Ok, then. See you at the party. And where's JJ?"
"She's already gone" then Sam headed to the door and went away from the house straight to the limo that was near the gates.
"I must say you look great" Lex said and the car started.
"Thank you"
"I'm glad you decided to go"
"I'm not. I still think it's not a good idea. At least not the best of yours"
"Stop it. You want it, you just don't know it yet" he said in defense. "I like you new color"
"Thank you" said now-brunette.
Wayne's Manor...
Chloe has never seen so many people even on the parties Lex had had. She was walking along with Bruce , looking at everyone and sometimes even listening to what all of them were saying. Then Chloe saw familiar faces: Clark and Julie, holding hands. Julie looked like a princess in a long light milkshake pink dress, her hair felt free on her back and shoulders, lips glossy, there was almost no make-up on her, but it seemed even better. Julie looked in her half-sister's direction and smiled brightly. Chlo did the same.
"You know, we should say 'hi'. It's kinda his party" Lex pulled Sam to the place where he's spotted Wayne a second ago.
"No, no way"
"Yes, you don't have a choice"
They finally reached Bruce and...
"Luthor!"
"Wayne!"
"Luthor?"
"Chloe?"
"Chloe?"
"Samantha?"
"Sam?"
"Bruce!"
Now all the guests were looking at the awkward position in the middle of the hall.
"You..." Sam was lost for words, looking at Chloe. "I'm outta here!"
"Wait, Sam!" Bruce herd himself calling Samantha.
"Nice job, Chloe" Lex put the smirk on the face. "Another billionaire. I see you don't play on less then a how mach? Hundred millions?"
Chloe was speechless and Lex fast made his escape.
Near the front door...
"Samantha!" Bruce chased her till he grabbed her hand and turned her to face him, only then he saw the tears streaming down her cheeks. "Sam..."
"What do you want? You've already cursed me so much pain! You wanted more? Well, congratulations! Coming to the party with my sister was the highest peak of all disgusting things in you!" she cried.
"What? I didn't know you were sisters! You came with Luthor, by the way!"
"So what? Lex and I are friends!"
"So are Chloe and me! And why'd you care? You broke up with me, if I remember correctly!" Bruce started getting angrier with every second.
"Did I have a choice? You were hiding something really important from me! You still do! How the hell am I suppose to be with a person who's hiding half of his life from me!?" her voice could be heard in whole manor.
"I'm...I'm sorry, Sam, I don't know what to say" he looked at his feet.
"I loved you, Bruce. I guess, I still do, but this secret is killing everything" Samantha looked at him once more, but Bruce was still exploring his feet. "I knew it's gonna end up like this. You would look down guilty and I even don't know why you're feeling like that...I'd better go..." she turned on her heels and made her way to the limo, and never heard Bruce matter 'I love you too, Sam'.
At the party...
Chloe was standing at the window, watching at Samantha and Bruce fighting. She saw tears in the eyes of her half-sister, Bruce's face when she said something, pain in her whole being when he didn't reply.
Chloe knew who cursed all of this. Only one person in the whole world could such things and just stand aside watching everything to fall apart. But not this tine. This time she wanted her revenge. This time Lex Luthor will get everything he deserves.
"Yeah, that's a bit different from what I imagined" Julie said when she and Clark were strolling in the park, a part of Wayne Manor.
"Not the best place for the first date, but...I enjoyed it"
"Really, Mr Kent? So you think that was a date?" she smiled evilly. "You had cruel intentions then?"
"Of course, not, Ms Johnson. Why would you think that of me?" he said in an old manner.
"Well, Mr Kent, You haven't asked me on a date, have you? So I assumed that coming here with me, thinking what you might be thinking are you cruel intentions!" then both laughed. "Ok, that was funny"
"No, really, will you...." He stopped in the mid sentence.
"Will I what?"
"Maybe let's go somewhere?"
"Like on a date?" Julie raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, you can say that" Clark agreed.
"Ok" she said and her and Clark with a goofy grin made their way back to the party....
