A/N: So i decided to write a scene out of Hydro. I haven't seen the episode for awhile, and i didn't really want to rewatch the whole thing, and what's the point for you guys to read an exact replica of what we saw on screen anyway. Back to the point. I wanted another Oliver and Chloe interaction, so here we go. Enjoy!

4 p.m Chloe and Lois's Apartment

Chloe stared at the photo being waved in her face.

'I managed to get the Green Arrow's mug' Lois crowed as she sat on the edge of Chloe's sofa.

Chloe made a grab for it, almost tearing it out of Lois's hands before bringing it up to her nose. There was no way Oliver Queen would be that stupid.

Tilting it to the side, her eyes narrowed, in fact, she wasn't even sure it was the green Arrow.

'uh-Lois'

Lois dreamily looked away in space, imagining her speech as she won the Pulitzer-

'LOIS'

'What?' Lois glared at Chloe standing over her.

'I know my age is getting to me', she squinted at the photo again, 'but this is so blurry, and all I know is there is some green maybe here….and I think that's an ear…wait…maybe not.' Chloe scrunched her nose, trying to close one eye, then the other.

Lois peered over her shoulder at the photos, 'Hey, its not my fault your boyfriend can't seem to understand the simple command, point and shoot. He did take a photography class right?'

Chloe raised an eyebrow as she handed the photos back to her, grabbing a hold of her coffee mug. Ignoring the boyfriend comment for now, she instead asked, 'So exactly how did you manage to get these…ummm…fascinating photos anyway? Usually the green arrow is like Casper the friendly ghost…except for the friendly part.'

Lois opened her mouth for a second before closing it, Chloe raised an eyebrow.

As Chloe sipped her coffee, Lois grinned at her, 'I kissed him.'

'WHAT!' Chloe spewed her coffee all over her lap. Lois looked somewhat disgusted, 'Hey cuz, it was just a kiss, not like we started rolling in the hay or anything'

Chloe quickly grabbed some napkins, dabbing at her lap and counter in front of her as she muttered under her breath, 'or anything'

'So…uh…d-did…' Chloe was for once at lost for words trying to ask without asking if she knew who the Green Arrow was.

As Lois stood and turned her back on Chloe, Chloe frantically grabbed the pictures again, trying to figure out if there were any obvious clues again.

Half tuning her out, she frowned as she glanced at one particular photo, a blur of green.

'…and then Oliver showed up.'

Chloe looked up, 'Come again. I think I might have been hit harder then I thought' she said with a laugh, 'I could have sworn you said Oliver saw you kissing the Green Arrow'

Lois smiled as she shrugged, 'yeah…pretty much…and wow…Oliver's a good kisser…but he could take some lessons from the Green Arrow.'

Chloe's jaw dropped as she stared at her cousin, wondering if Lois had been smoking anything…wait…maybe she had too.

'So I guess my whole theory about Oliver being Green Arrow was way off base here. Huh…and I was so sure about it…' Lois said in the background.

Chloe turned to the last photo, a streak of green, and Chloe suddenly understood.

The door knocked, and Chloe grinned, knowing who was on the other side.

'You wouldn't believe what I just hear' Chloe jumped up from the couch with a grin.

9:00 p.m

Oliver's apartment

'So I heard about this amazing Green Arrow who could not only shoot an arrow rather decently, but run as fast as a speeding bullet. And get this, he threw a man into the billboard.'

Chloe stepped off the elevator, wondering why half the lights were off, but was more interested with the man just getting up from his desk.

Oliver winced, 'Lois?'

Chloe grinned, her eyes dancing with amusement, 'Oh yeah, and there's proof might I add, hard evidence right here.'

She waved the photos in front of him like dangling a juicy bone. Oliver made a grab for them, but she pulled them close to her chest, 'uh-uh, I want answers'

When Chloe came tonight, she expected a quick drop off of a file Clark wanted Oliver to look at, but when Lois showed these pictures, it was too good to be true.

The last time she saw him was after his tangle with Lex and watching him as he recovered from a bullet and the drugs he was on. She had to say, he definitely improved.

Oliver raised an eyebrow, 'Since when did you become so greedy'

Chloe smiled, 'Since I saw these. First I want to know how you managed to get my best friend, someone I had been trying to convince he needed to broaden his color palatte, into a green leather vest and pants. Mind you with an armband.'

Oliver stayed silent, an amused glint in his eyes.

Chloe waved the photos, 'C'mon Queen spill'

Oliver grinned back, 'I just asked him.'

Chloe raised an eyebrow, almost pouting. 'Wow you fold like a cheap suit. That's it...you asked him for a favor?'

Oliver shrugged, 'well there was the whole getting him my friend's number'

'Really?' Eyes wide with interest.

'No'

'So you're never going to tell me.' Chloe said with a pout.

'No, not really.'

They stared at each other in silence, both highly amused by the conversation. Oliver couldn't help but like the verbal sparring going on at the moment. And he almost wished there was more to the story, to keep her interested of course.

Oliver's eyes roved over her face, his eyes widening as he saw the cut on her cheek.

Grabbing her cheek, he tilted it up, trying to see it in better light. Chloe prayed he wouldn't notice the shiver running through her body.

'What the hell happened to you?' His eyes turned black with fury.

Chloe winced, not so much from the cut itself, but the memories of last night. After the mess with Lana, and not even really believing what she saw herself, she was just hoping to chalk it up to a bad day, like every other day in her life.

Moving back a little, she regretted the loss of his touch, but felt the knot in her stomach loosening.

'Just tangled with a psychotic journalist' seeing him smiling she added on, 'okay, an even more psychotic journalist then Lois…' he raised an eyebrow, 'and me' she finished with a grin.

'Don't worry I got the whole speech from Clark. Although personally I think he should be kissing my feet right now. I just kept his dirty little secret from going on the front page, and kept Lana in the dark. If I'm not a Goddess, then I don't know who is.'

Oliver grinned, rubbing his thumb lightly over the cuts. Chloe flinched, and Oliver drew back quickly, 'Does it hurt still?' he said with worry.

'No, no, just…a little.' She finally admitted.

Oliver just nodded, gazing down at the porcelain skin marred by such an ugly bruise.

'So does Lois still suspect me?' He said, towering over her.

'Not one bit' Chloe said shaking her head in astonishment. She leaned over and picked up a paperweight he got from some ex a long time ago. 'its amazing what one is willing to believe.' Her hands playing with the object, 'The minute I found out who you were, I knew it. I knew it with such certainty, that no matter what anyone else said, no matter what Clark tried to tell me, I was sold.'

Oliver sighed, 'You can see why I'm not so eager to tell her who I am' trying to ignore Chloe's snort, 'But…I am glad you know. Clark is good, but…'

Chloe set the paperweight down and sat on the edge of the desk. 'Sometimes ignores you …yeah I get that from Clark as well…and Lois'

Oliver shook his head, plunging his hands in his pockets, 'well I don't mean to be tooting my own horn, but I have done this for a few years now, I have connections he could use. I don't see how difficult it is to go out there and help someone.'

Chloe shook her head, 'Clark…hasn't realized how powerful he could be. He changed, when his father died, but he will get there. He will be what we're all waiting for.'

Oliver smiled as Chloe jumped up from the desk, 'I think I need to go home and eat some ice cream. And listen to Lois prattle about the Green Arrow.'

Oliver nodded, watching as Chloe turned away. But she hesitated.

Turning back around, she grabbed Oliver's jacket, lifting herself onto her toes, only to press her lips against his.

For a moment Oliver stiffened, Chloe was kissing him, Chloe, his girlfriend's cousing was kissing him…and then his mind went blank. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he deepend the kiss, nudging her to open her mouth just a little more.

What was supposed to be a small peck on his lips, suddenly turned into one heartstopping kiss. And Chloe couldn't think of anything but one thing and one thing only, she was kissing Oliver Queen.

Finally realizing she might need air, Chloe drew away, looking up at him in surprise before breaking into a grin.

Oliver blinked, raising an eyebrow in confusion, 'what was that for?'

Chloe shrugged, stepping out of his arms, and taking a few steps back. 'Lois was totally wrong, you definitely don't need lessons in kissing' with that, she turned and walked to the door.

Oliver stared after for a moment, before her words registered in his brain, 'lessons?'

Calling out after her, 'what do you mean lessons?'

The elevator door shut close and started its descent.

'Chloe?'

'Chloe?'

A/N: well I hope you enjoyed. Just a little nugget in my head that wouldn't stop nudging me. So enjoy! and please review, I'm thinking of one more scene for Siren. And then I really want to take toxic and rewrite the whole damn episode, such potential completely lost. Again let me know what you think.
