Chapter 2
"Hello Lex"
"Well I have to say, this is not where I expected to see you" He said walking closer to her.
"Things change" she replied
"That they do" he said looking over at the insigma on the collar of her uniform. "Captain" He said smiling.
"Mr. Luthor this…discovery cannot be made public"
"right down to business, I always liked that about you" He walked past her to the opening of the tent. "This is a discovery of a lifetime. You expect me to hand it over the government. That will keep this is a secret." He turned to face her "I'm surprised that you've changed so much that you can't see that."
Her eyes met his "Some secrets are meant to be kept Lex"
He stared straight into her eyes. "Secrets, that is the story of our lives isn't it. This is about the truth Chloe, a passion that I thought both of us shared"
"I still believe in the truth Lex"
"But just not sharing it with anyone" He walked closer to her. He inhaled her scent, here she was Chloe Sullivan a grown woman. Not that she was child before, but he could see the subtle changes in the way she carried herself, gone where the teenage insecurities and angst. He stopped a few feet from her. He could dare to get any closer; just being in the same room with her again was bringing back memories.
Chloe was trying her best not step back. She didn't want him to have the upper hand, not anymore she was supposed to be stronger now. And she was until she saw Lex again. She had spent her entire senior year being mad at him for what he did that summer when she was in hiding. But it was wasted time, that was just who he was and she should not have been surprised. But memories of that night would not leave her.
"I know you recognized those symbols Chloe" He said trying to push those thoughts out of his head. "The same symbols in the caves" He turned away from her, thoughts of her lips on his.
Chloe looked down at the ground she couldn't bring herself to lie to him about that. She looked back up at him. Remembering the feel of his skin underneath her hands.
"If I turn this over to you, I'm expected to forget I ever saw anything"
"That is usually the drill" She replied. "I'm expected to do the same"
"Take it" he said suddenly
"You're just going to give it to me"
"I am, because you're right Chloe. Some secrets are meant to be kept"
Chloe walked out the tent. "We can take it"
"Well I have no idea how you mangled that one Sullivan. But I expect a full report on what you said"
"Yes Sir"
"Alright everyone clear out, this discovery is now the property of the United States Air Force, all other personal evacuates the area immediately" bellowed Cornel Ryan.
Chloe watched Lex's jeeps drive away. Lex Luthor always went after the big prize and the ship was no longer that. He is going to try and find out everything I know. Once again I hold the secrets he so desperately wants. I hope the Military covered my tracks well, because a Luthor will do anything to get what they want.
