Another Chloe

Disclaimer: Okay people as much as I would like it but I don't own the characters from Smallville.
I think I should warn you because my English is not really good so please over look the mistakes I made. Thanks!!!
They were in Gabe Sullivan's office at the plant and it was just getting dark outside. He was in a late meeting with his boss Lex Luthor as Chloe came in the room. She came in without hearing the protests that were coming from her dad's secretary a little red-head in the late twenties.
Till now she let her head hung down but the secretary was getting on her nerves. Suddenly she turned around and screamed at her: "Fuck off already just leave I won't disturb them long." As the secretary was about to protest they heard a deep charming voice who told her it was alright to let Chloe stay.
Chloe took a deep breath then looked once more at the woman in front of her and apologized for her behaviour. As the red-head had left the room Chloe turned around and looked fist at Lex thanked him for letting her stay then turned to her father. She stared at her father and then opened her mouth to speak: "I need to go to Metropolis for the next two weeks." As her father was about to protest that she can't do it because of school she silenced him with a simple look of her had that clearly said don't interrupt me I'm not finished yet.
She opened her bag and took out a notebook: "I've asked all my teachers for the homework of the next to weeks and I've already done them. So there is no need to worry about it. I have refilled our fridge and talked to Lana and Pete. I couldn't find Clark so I talked to his mother and she will tell him that I'm gone the next weeks. Lana and Pete also agreed to take over the Torch for me while I'm gone and I'm sure Clark will help them." explained Chloe.
Her father was shocked: "So you say everybody knew before me that you are going and you haven't even asked me if you could go Chloe?" he asked in an angry voice. "That you have understood correctly and I didn't ask you because your permission is this time not important to me." she said in a calm voice. The emotions she felt were anger, pain, sadness, madness, grief and rage but she didn't want them to see this. She wore just like Lex most of the time a mask just that her mask was a bit brighter. She didn't want other people to see how she is feeling not since her mother had left. She was as got as Lex at slipping this mask on and off. Gabe Sullivan was now standing behind his desk and looking at his daughter. He was totally confused Chloe never left without his permission.
Lex was totally surprised by Chloe's behaviour but didn't show it. He had never seen her act like this but that doesn't say much because he saw her not that often. He looked from Gabe to Chloe and back to Gabe as Chloe spoke again this time in her usual voice because she knew that she would get nowhere with her father if she spoke without emotions in her voice like she had done before.
"Look daddy I'm sorry that I didn't asked you if I could go but I need to go to Metropolis for the next two weeks. It is important if it were not then I wouldn't go but I can't change how it is. So don't be mad I promise I'm not in any trouble. So amh...I don't want to disturb you any longer." She went up to her father kissed his cheek, hugged him and then turned and walked to the door but before she went out her father called her back. Chloe turned around and looked at her father waiting for him to say something.
"Chloe stay out of trouble okay, call me once a day and I think you should take this with you!" in his hand was a credit card. Chloe looked at it and then up into his eyes: "I promise that I will stay out of trouble and to call you once a day but I don't want to take that card with me. It was my decision to go to Metropolis so I will pay for my life there for the next two weeks." She gave him a small smile then turned back to the door and walked away but not without saying goodbye to Mr. Luthor.
Lex was impressed that Chloe didn't took the credit card from her father but also that her father had her allowed to go and that all on her own. He knew that his plant manager had mostly not much of a choice but to let her go. But he thought also that Gabe would have put up more of a fight with his daughter.
He was so deep in his thoughts that Gabe had to call him more than once to get his attention. As he looked in the worried face of his plant manager he assured him that everything was okay. They then finished their meeting and they both drove to their homes.
Chloe was driving down the streets towards her old home: Metropolis. The city where she grew up before her mother had left the family. She loved Smallville but most of the time she missed the city because here she was not an outcast just because of her clothing style or the way she is and here she had friends who liked her for who she is. Back in Smallville she had very few friends it doesn't bother her but it was nice to know that she had friends in Metropolis with whom she could stay in situations like this one.
After a few hours she was finally standing at the front door of her friend's apartment. Under the bell beside the door stood the name Emma Donovan the name of her friend. She knocked three times and then her friend opened her door. As she saw that it was Chloe who was standing at her door she screamed and took the blond girl in a big embrace.
"I can't believe you are here...oh my god I must call everyone they need to know that you are here. Oh I'm sorry were are my manners come in and sit I'll go and make you a coffee and then we call the others alright?" Chloe nodded and with that the black-haired girl went into the kitchen to prepare the coffee.
Half an hour later all her friends were gathered around Chloe and asked her question after question. Together they were about five and the boys weren't even there. As they were all satisfied with the answers they decided to celebrate the return of Chloe next night including the male friends. They also decided to not to tell the guys that Chloe had returned but to surprise them with her long lost friend's presence. Then they all left and Chloe and Emma went to bed.
On the next day Lex went into the Talon to get a coffee as he saw that Clark and Lana were all over each other. Pete sat beside them with his newest girl and they were also over each other.
He thought a moment if he should turn around to leave them to there own put his need for caffeine was too big. So he went up to them and cleared is throat at first nothing happened but after he cleared his throat a second time they jumped apart and looked over to him.
"A coffee, black, to go." he said after Lana had asked him what he wanted. As Lana took the order and prepared the coffee he saw that Clark looked nervous at the door every ten seconds.
As Lex got his coffee he smirked at Clark's nervousness but then asked him: "What is it that you look about every few seconds to the door? Are you in trouble or something?"
Clark jumped lightly as Lex began to spoke but then turned to him: "Oh no I'm not in any trouble at the moment but I think I'm...we are in trouble when we talked to Chloe." he admitted.
"But I thought Chloe talked to you both", he looked at Lana and Pete, "and to your mother? Chloe won't be back for the next two weeks. She told her dad that she talked to you about it."
"Chloe had called me yesterday in the evening but I haven't really listened to her because..." here Lana blushed and looked at Clark, "well I was occupied." she admitted shyly.
"She called me too but I haven't listened to her too because first I was occupied and then I thought that she wanted to tell me something about one of her crazy story's about another meteor-freak." added Pete.
"And my mother...well I haven't talked to here very much since yesterday morning and then in the evening she said something about Chloe but I didn't got it all so I thought it wasn't important because she then had called again. She didn't call again so I thought she would tell me today what she wanted and then Lana and I wanted to tell her about us." told them Clark.
Lex looked thoughtful at the teenagers: So that must be the reason why she had left. She must have felt like an outcast among her friends because they never listened to her. Maybe she left because she knew that Clark and Lana are now an item.
After a minute he said: "It is probably to wonder that she had left I mean do you treat her always like that?" As they didn't answer him he took that as a yes he then added: "You all should think of a way to make it right between you and her." With that he left the teenagers and the Talon and got into his car.
Chloe was woken from the sunlight that was shining into her room she opened one eye and then the other. She decided that it felt good to be back in the city. After five more minutes there was a knock at her door and Emma looked in: "Good you have woken up. Stand up and then we will go and eat breakfast at our favourite café alright?" as Chloe nodded enthusiastically she closed the door again.
Half an hour later Chloe was ready and they walked to a café around the corner of Emma's apartment complex. There was a waitress coming over to them as they sat down they ordered their breakfast and then talked about everything and nothing. As their breakfast had arrived they had Clark, Pete and Lana as topic.
"You know I'm really glad that they are together now I'm over my crush on Clark since a long time..." she was cut of by Emma: "But you are not over your crush with a certain Lex Luthor right?" at that Chloe's face began to redden just a little bit but enough for Emma to see how embarrassed she was. "That was not what I have wanted to say..." and again she was cut of by Emma: "Okay I will let drop that topic for a later time now tell me what you have wanted to say."
"I wanted to say that I'm really happy for them but I can't understand why they didn't talk to me. I mean they are my friends shouldn't I know something like that. Oh and then before I came here I talked to them on the phone to tell them that I'm gone for the next two weeks and they didn't even listened to me. That hurt I mean I get the feeling that I'm not worth it for them to speak to me or of their friendship. It is as if I have wasted all the years in Smallville when my true friends are in Metropolis." She sighed and then added: "Now I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. I'm sorry for telling you such a bull shit."
"Chloe there is no need for you to apologize, you needed to get it off of you chest but I think that in your words were a little bit of the truth and that you should talk to them when you get home. Till then no more worrying you should have fun while you are here. Okay now that we have cleared that up and it seemed that we have finished our breakfast we are now making a shopping tour. With that they paid their bill and got up.
Meanwhile Lex was driving down the road to Metropolis. There was a business meeting were he would meet his old collage friend Bruce Wayne and then he had a date with Amber Londwood, of course she was a brown-haired young woman. Normally he would look forward to this date but not today because...he didn't know why he doesn't look forward this time exactly but he was sure it was just something he had heard about Amber that he doesn't want to hear maybe there was something about her and his father but he was not sure so he left it and took it to the back of his mind in hope to forget it. It was the first time that he was glad to have a business meeting because then he was occupied for awhile but later when he had his date he was sure that it would be more boring then sitting in a meeting. But maybe Amber surprised him and he could actually have a real conversation with her or he could talk Bruce into coming with him but that he would have to see later. To his surprise he was already at the restaurant where he would meet the others so he parked the car and got out and into the restaurant.
Emma and Chloe were running in one shop after the other till they had the perfect outfit for tonight. They wanted to go in the most popular club that was managed by a friend of Chloe. As they finished their shopping tour they went into a restaurant to eat a late meal. They decided after they saw that there was a business meeting in one corner to sit in the other corner so as not to disturb them when they talked. The restaurant owner a young man in his early twenties with black hair came over to them as he saw who it was. Chloe had worked for him almost every holiday's she had stayed in Metropolis since she was fourteen to get a bit of extra-money. They became friends over the years and so he told her that this restaurant was a heritage from his grandparents. It wasn't very popular as his grandparent owned it but now it was on of the greatest restaurants in the entire town.
"Chloe it's good to see you again how are you. It is a long time that we haven't seen us and Emma nice to meet you again." he said a small smile playing around his lips.
"You are unbelievable Mike Sanders. Does he do that every time you meet?" laughed Chloe and as Emma nodded she added: "You know that is no way to treat your girlfriend right? I think you should change that!"
Now they were all laughing as suddenly one of the business men were approaching them and stopped right in front of them. They stopped laughing and looked up at him. Mike stood up and asked the man if he could help him.
The man nodded and asked then if they could talk in a place a little bit more private. Mike took him in one of the corner that was left over. Chloe and Emma were curious about what they were talking as Mike came back onto the table and the man got back to his. Mike wore a huge smile and sat down.
"So what did he want?" asked Emma and looked at her boyfriend.
"He asked me if Chloe would work here again because he knew you from the days as you were a waitress Ms. Sullivan and he said that you were the best he ever saw or meet." Mikes eyes were dancing with amusement as he looked at Chloe.
"Should I take that as a compliment or is he just a sexiest who wants to rape me because I'm such a pretty little girl and who is now feeding me with honey so that I don't go to the police?" asked Chloe in a serious voice and with a straight face but with a twinkle in her eyes and they burst in laughers again. This time a bit too loud because all the heads of the business men swirled around to look at them but that didn't stop them. After the laughers died down Chloe asked: "So what have you answered him?"
"Oh I have answered him that I'm very sorry but that you are not working here again that you are here on vacation and to see how the business is working. He was very disappointed but understood that you have other goals you want to reach." explained Mike with a big smile and the girls smiled too.
"Okay so I will take what he had said as a compliment. Such a nice man he gives compliments to woman he doesn't even know and in this little hometown of me is not one who can do that. Such a shame maybe I should invite him to Smallville he could teach the other males how to do compliments.
With that Chloe stood up and grinned at Emma: "What do you think should I invite him?" "Don't you dare what are you doing if he is really a rapist?" answered the black-haired girl in a mock voice and they all burst in laughers again. Then Emma stood up too and they said their goodbyes to Mike and Chloe told him: "Say him goodbye from me and that I'm sorry for not working here anymore. We see us tonight." Emma kissed him goodbye and then they were gone.
Lex was bored he thought that this meeting could occupied him but he was totally wrong. The only thing that kept him from simple leaving was Bruce presence. Suddenly one of the men stood up and left the table towards another table with guests. He must be really bored because he can't even remember that other people had arrived. They were laughing but stopped when the man approached them. Then he and the young black-haired guy went into another corner spoke there for a short time and then went to the tables where they were coming from.
The man apologized for leaving and then they heard laugher from the corner in the opposite. He saw a little blond hair between the two dark-haired pair but couldn't see more. The entire time till the girls stood up and left he never took his eyes from that little bit of blond hair he could saw. Suddenly there was the need to stand up and to leave this meeting and running after the girls but he didn't move one muscle. He just sat there and never took his eyes from the door where they had gone out. As Bruce hit him with his elbow in his rips he woke up from his trance and as he looked around him he saw that the others were going to leave.
The dark-haired guy came over to the man who spoke to him earlier and told him that one of the girls was sorry for not working here anymore. As all the others had left Bruce came up behind him: "What's going on A you are acting strange today?"
"I have really no idea what's going on today but I was about to cancel my date so that I could get drunk tonight want to join me?" asked Lex and looked at his friend and after Bruce had nodded he went to Mike and asked him: "Excuse me but you were sitting at that table with two young women can you tell me the name of the blond Lady."
Mike was shocked that Lex Luthor spoke to him when it was not necessary but he was even more shocked as he heard him asked after Chloe.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that. What do you want from her anyway? If you hurt her there are many people in this town who want to kick your ass including me! Just to let you know." With that he turned around and left Lex Luthor standing where he was.
Lex shock is had and as Bruce approached him to ask what that was about he silenced him with a simple hand gesture. They then left the restaurant too and went to Lex apartment to dress for a night out.
Chloe stood before the full length mirror and looked at her reflection. Not that bad I must say. I look... her thoughts were broken by Emma. "You look hot and sexy I think I must keep a close eye on you tonight." she said and smiled softly at her friend. Chloe was wearing a red satin top that showed a little bit of her belly and that was held by two strings that were crossing in the middle of her back. In addition she wore a pair of dark blue jeans; her hair was falling lousy around her head in it were black streaks and her make up were a dark eye shadow and lip gloss. Emma was wearing a light blue neck-holder top and a black knee length skirt. Her make up was a blue eye shadow and in addition also lip gloss.
"That won't be necessary Ems I'll be fine on my own but I must say you look stunning yourself. If don't move now we will never make it in time so move." laughed Chloe and not for the first time she was glad to be here. Then they made their way to the club.
Lex didn't know why it bothered him so much that he didn't know who the blond woman from the restaurant was. It was not so that he liked blond- haired girls in that way but something about her reminded him of Chloe Sullivan, the blond reporter from Smallville. He knew that Chloe was special not just because she was a friend of Clark but also because she talked to him as if he was a normal human and not the son of Lionel Luthor. She didn't fear to tell him what she didn't liked on him at his behaviour or at his family.
As Lex broke out of his thoughts he saw that Bruce was staring at him: "Lex? Lex I asked if you are ready? Can we go or have you changed your mind? You are really out of it today, man!"
"That I know!" snapped Lex and then added: "Let's get going." They both made their way to the car sat in the back and told the driver to bring them to the most popular club he knew. The driver nodded and then drove off. As he stopped the car at the entrance to the "Deep Glow" the two friends got out.

This time a bit too loud because all the heads of the business men swirled around to look at them but that didn't stop them. After the laughers died down Chloe asked: "So what have you answered him?"
"Oh I have answered him that I'm very sorry but that you are not working here again that you are here on vacation and to see how the business is working. He was very disappointed but understood that you have other goals you want to reach." explained Mike with a big smile and the girls smiled too.
"Okay so I will take what he had said as a compliment. Such a nice man he gives compliments to woman he doesn't even know and in this little hometown of me is not one who can do that. Such a shame maybe I should invite him to Smallville he could teach the other males how to do compliments.
With that Chloe stood up and grinned at Emma: "What do you think should I invite him?" "Don't you dare what are you doing if he is really a rapist?" answered the black-haired girl in a mock voice and they all burst in laughers again. Then Emma stood up too and they said their goodbyes to Mike and Chloe told him: "Say him goodbye from me and that I'm sorry for not working here anymore. We see us tonight." Emma kissed him goodbye and then they were gone.
Lex was bored he thought that this meeting could occupied him but he was totally wrong. The only thing that kept him from simple leaving was Bruce presence. Suddenly one of the men stood up and left the table towards another table with guests. He must be really bored because he can't even remember that other people had arrived. They were laughing but stopped when the man approached them. Then he and the young black-haired guy went into another corner spoke there for a short time and then went to the tables where they were coming from.
The man apologized for leaving and then they heard laugher from the corner in the opposite. He saw a little blond hair between the two dark-haired pair but couldn't see more. The entire time till the girls stood up and left he never took his eyes from that little bit of blond hair he could saw. Suddenly there was the need to stand up and to leave this meeting and running after the girls but he didn't move one muscle. He just sat there and never took his eyes from the door where they had gone out. As Bruce hit him with his elbow in his rips he woke up from his trance and as he looked around him he saw that the others were going to leave.
The dark-haired guy came over to the man who spoke to him earlier and told him that one of the girls was sorry for not working here anymore. As all the others had left Bruce came up behind him: "What's going on A you are acting strange today?"
"I have really no idea what's going on today but I was about to cancel my date so that I could get drunk tonight want to join me?" asked Lex and looked at his friend and after Bruce had nodded he went to Mike and asked him: "Excuse me but you were sitting at that table with two young women can you tell me the name of the blond Lady."
Mike was shocked that Lex Luthor spoke to him when it was not necessary but he was even more shocked as he heard him asked after Chloe.
"I'm sorry but I can't tell you that. What do you want from her anyway? If you hurt her there are many people in this town who want to kick your ass including me! Just to let you know." With that he turned around and left Lex Luthor standing where he was.
Lex shock is had and as Bruce approached him to ask what that was about he silenced him with a simple hand gesture. They then left the restaurant too and went to Lex apartment to dress for a night out.
Chloe stood before the full length mirror and looked at her reflection. Not that bad I must say. I look... her thoughts were broken by Emma. "You look hot and sexy I think I must keep a close eye on you tonight." she said and smiled softly at her friend. Chloe was wearing a red satin top that showed a little bit of her belly and that was held by two strings that were crossing in the middle of her back. In addition she wore a pair of dark blue jeans; her hair was falling lousy around her head in it were black streaks and her make up were a dark eye shadow and lip gloss. Emma was wearing a light blue neck-holder top and a black knee length skirt. Her make up was a blue eye shadow and in addition also lip gloss.
"That won't be necessary Ems I'll be fine on my own but I must say you look stunning yourself. If don't move now we will never make it in time so move." laughed Chloe and not for the first time she was glad to be here. Then they made their way to the club.
Lex didn't know why it bothered him so much that he didn't know who the blond woman from the restaurant was. It was not so that he liked blond- haired girls in that way but something about her reminded him of Chloe Sullivan, the blond reporter from Smallville. He knew that Chloe was special not just because she was a friend of Clark but also because she talked to him as if he was a normal human and not the son of Lionel Luthor. She didn't fear to tell him what she didn't liked on him at his behaviour or at his family.
As Lex broke out of his thoughts he saw that Bruce was staring at him: "Lex? Lex I asked if you are ready? Can we go or have you changed your mind? You are really out of it today, man!"
"That I know!" snapped Lex and then added: "Let's get going." They both made their way to the car sat in the back and told the driver to bring them to the most popular club he knew. The driver nodded and then drove off. As he stopped the car at the entrance to the "Deep Glow" the two friends got out.
