Chapter # 13

Clark walks into the farmhouse and drops on the couch holding his head in his hands after a hectic day at the Daily Planet. It has been one month since his Red-k nervous breakdown and he has apologized to everyone he may have caused pain all of them saying they know the type of man he is and would never intently cause trouble. Lois is still avoiding and not speaking to him! Clark remembers being on red- k before but never went off like that. He asked Ollie to get a specialist who asks no question in return of being paid to check his blood. Come to find out their was slight meteor rock mixed with the class ring Lana had remade that makes him paranoid! He thinks of how Lois acts around him mow and he is ashamed of how he hurt all of his friends especially Lois. He tells her that it was not him and she says she understands but he sees something in her eyes that cuts like a knife through his heart, FEAR OF HIM AND OF BEING IN LOVE WITH HIM BECAUSE OF HOW HE HAS HURT HER. As each day goes on he feels the distance between the two of them growing bigger everyday and thinks eventually that the damage done may be forever stained on their relationship over all! So now he sits here doing what Lois used to call his "brooding time". He is so caught up in his thoughts that he does not hear Chloe and Oliver approach.

Ollie: what did I tell you Watchtower he is here brooding just like I said? What is it with you and overanalyzing dude?

Chloe: (smiling) you were right Ollie, pulling a Lana. 2.0 with my cousin this time. By the way leave the surfer talk to Bart. Ollie he pulls it off way better.

Ollie: Hey! (Smirking) I am more than just a playboy loving womanizer by day and a crime fighter by night. I have a very well rounded personality.

Clark: (annoyed) I swear I see Lois rubbing off on you two more and more every day.

Chloe: And how would you know what Lois is teaching us when she can't stand to be in the room with you more than a minute.

Clark: (sadly) I know! Did you guys come to tease me about the love of my life and how she hates me or is there a purpose to this little visit? (Sarcastically)

Ollie: seriously I know what it's like to be rejected by lane and it is not fun but dial down the bitch tone!

Clark: (annoyed) your one to talk especially after your little roll in the hay with the Luthor clone Tess. (Smiling) By the way what happened to your little jail bird girlfriend and how is she still running the planet from inside prison.

Chloe; He got you there Ollie! (Laughing)

Ollie :( annoyed) well both of our "killer ladies" have been sentenced to 5 years on conspiracy charges and has to give everything to charity. Lana of course was put into a Belle Reve for a mental relapse. She was not even stable enough to be around normal murders. That's how much of a freak she is.

Chloe: you can say that again. (Rolling eyes)

Clark: Wait so how is the new owner of the planet? Are our jobs in jeopardy? Will Lois be OK!?(Nervous)

Chloe: relax Clark everything is fine we are both looking at our new boss and I mean outside the hero club (pointing to Ollie)

Ollie: Always the naïve Boy Scout Clark! I brought the planet because the price was so low after the tainted stain the Luthor mane has on it! Hell I only paid 5 million and that's without taxes.

Chloe: (seeing dumb look on Clark's face) meaning he also brought Lana foundation for only half a million. She was desperate since she ran through her divorce money. When she comes out, well if she does with interest she'll have about 7 million if she's lucky. You are now looking at the head director of the center. (Pointing to herself)

Clark: that's great Chloe and thanks Ollie for saving a lot of jobs including mine.

Ollie: I couldn't like you and Sidekick get fucked out of money. You guys are all ways there for me and I owe you both like big time which is another reason why we are here.

Clark: AH!!! I knew it wasn't because you wanted an audience for what I think was supposed to be a standup comedian performance.

Ollie; HEY IN ANOTHER LIFE I COULD HAVE GAVE JIM CARREY A RUN FOR HIS MONEY! (ANNOYED)

Chloe: Yeah a run to his bank count of audiences you ran way!(smiling)

Ollie (annoyed) ha! Anyway we want to help you get Lois back.

Clark: (sad) didn't we already try that and look how it turned out.

Ollie (angry) so you're just going to give up! Lois is not worth fighting for.

Clark: that not what I mean. (Angry) Lois said she would come to me in her own time. I will respect her wishes.

Chloe: How that going Clark? You're doing such a bang up job with trying to get her attention every five minutes. Sometimes I wonder if I should keep a piece of Kryptonite to smack some sense into you with. (Annoyed)

Clark: Fine (angry) this was your idea so how do you suggest I fix it!

Chloe: well last time I let Ollie (he rolls eyes as she points to him) and Jimmy help handle to reigns and as much as I love him. He screws up a lot so this time I'm taking the lead and handling this with finesse.

Ollie: How do you plan to do that, Lois has been distance with us too.

Chloe: Nothing brings us girls together like a night out to bash men especially since I'm in a "vulnerable state" before my wedding. (taking out cell she calls Lois) hey cuz (fake crying) how's about a girls night out) TBC
