Summary: Chlex. He got the girl, but can he hold onto her? Disgruntled worker takes out his frustrations on Lex and Chloe, pushing Lex to his limits.

Author's Note: Thanks for all the feedback guys. This part will be on how Chloe was kidnapped and after her kidnapping, so it goes from the past to the present. Lex's reaction will come in the next chapter.

Chapter Two:

The house had been bought for two weeks now and everything was going according to plan; the panic room was well stocked with bottles of water and snacks for Chloe, the plumbing was hooked up and the blankets were placed. Soon, Chloe would be his.

Taking her wouldn't really be a problem, as the 'Daily Planet' listed the wedding announcement of its two star reporters and it was a given that Chloe would be there, as she was not only a friend, but also family. Henry had taken to mapping out the church and watching for all locations in which it would be easiest to lure her to him, weeks in advance; from there he would chloroform her and take her away, but he didn't expect it to be as easy as it was.

He had been waiting in the south corridor of the church, near the exits, near Chloe, but far enough so he wouldn't be conspicuous to the Luthors and the guards that trailed them. It was like a dream come true when Chloe announced that she had to get something and that she would be going alone. He then followed her thirty seconds after her departure, all the while thinking, he'd get everything he'd hoped for; it'd just be a few more minutes now.

He let her slip into the room to get whatever it was she needed, but once she came out the door, he trailed behind her two or three feet and then put the chloroformed towel on her mouth. What he didn't anticipate was her reluctance to be taken; she fought hard, slamming her foot onto his, getting away for about three feet, but he was close behind, towel in hand. She was able to let out a scream, but it was too late to save her; he had already taken her limp form away and into his car.

She would stay put for a few hours so the drive and transportation into the panic room would be peaceful and met with no resistance; he could explain to her then why he did this-he did it for them.

--------------------

Henry had kept vigil at her bedside waiting for her to wake up and she would start to arise soon, as the effects of the chloroform would wear off. Until then though, he had taken to tidying up the place, making her as comfortable as he could; after all, he didn't want his child to be uncomfortable or his wife, for that matter.

It was some time later that Chloe started to wake up, trying to stretch her body awake, but her right leg was tied firmly to something and panicking, she shot out of the bed, stumbling over. She was caught, though by someone who she had never seen in her life.

"Who are you," she questioned, all the while panicking at the scenarios that ran through her mind. Her first instinct was to clutch her stomach, as if to make sure the baby was okay, an action that went unnoticed by her capturer.

"Don't worry about where you are and our baby is fine; the chloroform shouldn't have hurt him or her," he responded going to rub her stomach, but was firmly pushed away.

"Your baby? What the fuck are you talking about? This child is Lex's. I don't even know who you are," she exclaimed, trying to get the restraint off her ankle. It was no use though, only a key would open the godforsaken thing.

"The baby will be mine," he screamed at her. When he saw how pale and frightened she became, he lowered his voice and told her, "The baby may be Lex's biologically, but you and I will raise that baby together; he'll be our baby and Lex Luthor will be destroyed."

"So that's what this is about. Destroying Lex," she questioned, somewhat appeased for now, as she knew no harm was coming her way or to the baby. All she needed to do now was figure out a way to get out of the room. "What is this place anyway," she asked, trying to get some information.

"It's a panic room, not popular in newer houses these days, but can be found or built in for those who want to take extra precautions. And you my love, are in need of all that precaution. There is a bathroom over there and the chain on your ankle is long enough to let you reach each corner of this room. There is a small pantry to that corner, where you can find small healthy snacks; it won't do any good to have you spoil our baby's appetite. I'll be bringing your meals to you, but there will be a caretaker here to keep you company. Those monitors will allow you to see what's going on inside and outside the house. There's also a television in that cabinet and who knows, maybe you'll get in a peek of your husband."

"Go to hell you bastard," she screamed. All she wanted to do was get the damn gift to Lois, not be kidnapped and taken away. Most of all, she just wished that this was a dream and once she woke up, Lex would be there to hold her and comfort her like he did every time she woke up after a bad dream.

Chloe was somewhat at peace with her safety, at least for now, but she was scared to death at what would happen to Lex. Security would obviously be doubled to protect him, but even the best-trained ex-soldiers couldn't save Lex from himself. He would go insane looking for her, blaming himself for her disappearance, blindly going after anyone and everyone who could have had any reason to harm her.

Lionel would be the first on his list to go after, but that effort would prove fruitful, as she knew Lionel would never harm her or Lex. His release from prison and bout with his illness humbled Lionel into retirement, handing the company over to Lex, letting him take over-his apology. The two worked on their relationship and it was shaky to begin with, Lex always suspecting that his father had an ulterior motive. It wasn't until Lionel had requested the help of Chloe was the issue resolved; she lured Lex into the study, where Lionel was waiting, ready to hash out any suspicions Lex had. There was a lot of screaming and glass breaking, but in the end, both came out of the room, unscratched, and somewhat onto the road of father and son recovery.

Chloe was more than happy at that reconciliation because she was sure at that point, she would have forced both Luthors upon a psychiatrist; Lex was always going and on about any which conspiracy he could come up with to not trust his father and Lionel was bending over backwards to get his son to forgive him. All in all, it was quite amusing, but horrifying at the same time; there was nothing more scary than Lionel Luthor trying to bribe his son into forgiveness.

The years that followed slowly healed the two, as they reconciled for all the years lost between them; all the hurt and pain was still there, but it was forgiven. That didn't mean though, it would be forgotten.

Lex would be so paranoid at this point that he would go after anyone, even the people closest to him, not caring at all what happened to them, as long as he got his wife and child back. Lionel would be one of the many he would question, but Chloe was convinced that Lionel had nothing to do with this, as the person who captured her was more in it for himself, thinking that he could raise Lex's child. It was now time to get some answers out of this man.

"What is your name," she questioned.

"Henry."

"That's it? What about a last name? How about you fucking tell me why you kidnapped me," she said, starting out calmly, but as she spoke the questions, her temper and frustrations got the better of her.

"Cabrini. And I told you, you and I are going to raise that baby together."

"You just expect me to let you have mine and Lex's child, just like that, without a fight? Well, you are surely mistaken you asshole. I won't let you come anywhere near my baby." She would fight tooth and nail to keep the baby safe and somehow, she'd get back to Lex and they could put this entire thing behind them. "Why do you even want me for?"

"Because you're his," and with that he pushed the remote control button that opened the door and left her there on the makeshift bed, hands protecting the child inside her womb.
