"How many times do we have to tell you, it isn't safe going out there alone?!"
"I get it but it's suffocating being here all the time!"
"I know but that doesn't justify you having to always sneak out every time we turn our backs!"
"It's the only way I can get out of here!"
Clark sighed. The arguing started the moment they arrived in Oliver's penthouse. Chloe has been restless for the past 4 months and she has voiced it every chance she got. She didn't like the idea of being held 'hostage', as she calls it, while the rest could go in and out as they pleased. She wanted to understand the reason, of which they knew they couldn't give her, not yet. She didn't need the stress of knowing the secrets that she held within her. It was bad enough that she has no recollection of her life before she woke up and what had happened to her that led her to her 'death'. When they brought her back her super healing started to kick in.
The drive there was too slow for Clark's own agitation. When he received the call about Chloe, all he wanted to do was to instantly run to her, but Oliver insisted that they use his car instead. Neither him nor the rest wanted questions to be raised by these strangers on how he had gotten there so quickly without a proper transportation in sight. And so here he was sitting across from their leader in his limousine anxiously waiting to arrive at their destination.
Upon arriving they took in their surroundings. It was a cheap motel somewhere in the outskirts of Kansas. They didn't know why Chloe was here, all they knew was someone called for her help and so she went. They needed answers and the only way for them to get it was from these men that are currently taking watch over their friend.
Knocking on the door, Clark kept shifting from one foot to another, while Oliver stayed calm and collective as he usually does. The door opened to a tall brunette, eyes bloodshot probably due to the lack of sleep. The grim look was all he gave as he looked them over. "Yes?" he guy croaked out, the gruff voice tried to hide the emotion of grief but it was a miserable attempt.
"I'm Clark Kent, the one you called and this is Oliver Green"
"Sam Winchester", nodding his head in acknowledgment as he moved aside to let them in. The room was dim but Clark could spotted Chloe on the bed easily and went straight for her. Slowly he sat onto the bed beside her as he looked her over. His hand instantly went to her face as he shifted her hair away from it. He didn't know what to think or do but just stare at his best friend's pale face. He had seen this a few times but she had always come back to him. This time he wasn't so sure. The longest Chloe has been unconscious was 24 hours. His hand moved from her face onto her neck, searching for any indication that she would come out of this once again. Once his eyes landed on her right side of her neck, there was a tiny punctured wound, that would not have been detected if his hands did not ran passed it. Other than the punctured wound, there weren't any signs of other physical harms. Clark frowned as he turned his attention back to the man who seemed to be looking awkward around them. "What exactly happened to her?"
The brunette rubbed the back of his neck as he shook his head. "I'm not too sure" As he shifted his gaze from one to another, he cleared his throat. "One minute she was right next to us, and the next she was gone"
"What do you mean?" Oliver frowned as he stood stoic beside the door of the motel.
"Look, my brother and I work these odd jobs, you know like the unusual kind of cases, and Chloe happened to know a few things about it. There was a case about people going missing, and they always came back like nothing happened. The last thing they remember was being in the same area all the victims were last seen. So when we were searching the place, she suddenly went missing. We searched the whole place for a whole week and when we found her, she was on the ground unconscious. We checked for a pulse but there was none so we brought her back here."
"Why didn't you call us then?"
"Well a couple of months ago, she told us about the whole healing thing. She said if anything like this were to happen, we should wait for 3 days before calling you."
Clark nodded at this but there was a question as to how she came about this. If it wasn't due to her healing than it must have been from something else. "What did you exactly find about the missing people?"
Sam crossed the room towards the table as he shuffled through the papers on top of it. It was evident that they were very engrossed in what they were researching about .Once he found what he was looking for he placed the all together in a file before handing it out to Oliver.
"Everything is all here?"
"Yes" And with that Oliver gave a curt nod to Clark, a sign to gather everything so they could leave. Clark stood up to gather all her belongings while Oliver informs Sam of the situation. "This case of yours, starting from now on will be dropped. It's out of your league. Whatever we are dealing here has something to do with the meteor sightings that have happened in the last week or so. Chloe must have connected the dots; that is probably why she came here to investigate just to be sure."
"Wait a minute" Sam shook his head as he tried to understand what he was being told. "You mean to say it's has to do with the whole meteor thing that Chloe keeps writing about?"
"Yes" Oliver took the bags that Clark gave to him as he patiently waited for Clark to gather Chloe up before they had to leave.
"Why didn't she tell us?"
"I don't know the reason as to why she ever does something but there is always a good reason for it" Turning back to Clark, who has Chloe in his arms. "All set?"
Only a nod as an answer, Oliver began to open the door when Sam blocked him. His jaws clenched and his eyes glazed with determination. "You're just going to keep us hanging like this?"
"Like I said" Clark frowned as he retorted. "This is not your problem anymore"
"So you're just going to take her away and leave us high and dry; not knowing what the hell happened to her?"
"What happened is none of your concern"
"Whatever happens to Chloe is our concern as well, we're her friends too! I'd like to know what happened to her to make her go like this" As he waved his hands towards Chloe's limp body, "And I would like to know what will happen after this"
"We're bringing her home" Clark said with a stern look in his eyes, "Where she belongs"
"And that's it?"
"There is nothing else for us to say" Clark's frown as he really wanted to get Chloe out of there and back to Metropolis or even Smallville. "Now step aside"
On the way to Metropolis Chloe started to show signs of life. Though she didn't wake up instantly like she use to, she did slowly regained colour onto her skin. She started to breath, though in slow douses, as if she was just sleeping. Instantly they admitted her to the Metropolis Hospital and went to research on the happenings in the area, but their main priority at that moment was Chloe who stayed unconscious for another 2 days after that. They tried finding a way to wake her, doing secretive DNA testing by scientists and the best doctors Oliver could find. The only thing they found was an abnormality in her system. She was injected with something that made her meteor mutation more complex; though she did not show any other abilities other than her healing powers they weren't completely sure if she was safe to tell the world that she was fine.
While Chloe was unconscious they went back to the area where Chloe was attacked in search of finding any kind of understanding on what Chloe was injected. What they found was yet another 33.1 near the area, though when they raided the place it was too late. Everything was cleared except a file with ever possible medical records of Chloe. It was as if Lex was taunting them. Without further discussion or arguments, they all agreed to hide Chloe away until they could find more about what happened to her and the only option they came up with was to fake her death. It was hard on everyone, especially Clark to lie to Lois about the death of her favoured cousin. They made sure not to leave any trace of her while they tracked down Lex's 33.1. Every time they came close, Lex was at least one step ahead of them. So here they were, with no lead on what Lex was up to but a friend who doesn't remember anything beyond waking up to 5 men hovering above her in her hospital bed.
"Hell, someone saw you!"
"But Clark got to me before anything happened, didn't he?"
"Chloe... ", Oliver whispered as he knew if he kept on pushing it, it would end up making the whole mess even messier.
"No! I'm sick of this!" Everyone stood silent as they watched Chloe vent's her frustration yet again. They don't blame her for being frustrated. Heck, they would feel the same way if they were made to just sit still in the penthouse for the last year. "I don't want to be cooped up here just to make you feel better! I want to live my life! Why can't I?"
Oliver sighed at this. Though Chloe has amnesia, she was slowly brought back into their world of saving the world. For the most part, she needed to relearn everything but her basic instinct and personality has stayed in tack. She may not have any recollection of who she was before but her curious nature and quick thinking was always there and so they managed to use it for their missions behind the safety of her desk in a secret room inside of the penthouse and it also serves the purpose of giving her something to do. They had told her almost everything about the JLA and its mission to keep the world safe but they never came into the issues about her and her involvement with Luthor Corp. They had kept those files far away from her as they possibly could, afraid that somehow she would get more worked uo in wanting to remember everything and she has enough of it as it is.
"It's just not safe at the moment alright?"
"Argh! All of you are impossible!" Chloe screamed out before walking away towards her room, slamming her door as she went in. Everyone looked at each other knowing that wasn't the last of it, and pretty soon when the knowledge of moving away was to be told, a huge storm would be coming towards them and nothing is scarier than an angry Chloe Sullivan.
