Clark leaped onto the tall building where Andrea and Nick were waiting for him. Nick was staring cross the street with the binoculars. Andrea was waiting for Clark patiently, with her arms folded; the night was starting to get a little brisk.

Clark was really annoyed; he and Andrea did not get along that well. Andrea's and his conversations never lasted that long. It was short and to the point. He was still very disappointed in her. Every time he saw her it reminded him of that night and her killing that criminal snake. It hurt even more because he was about to do the same thing but realized what huge mistake it would be. She just couldn't listen to his pleas she was so angry and full of revenge. He knew from Chloe that she had regretted what she had did and it had weighed on her soul. He just did not like how Andrea and Chloe were so close. Chloe and Andrea have been working together for several months now. He had recently found out that they have been having all of these secret roof top meetings. Chloe finally spilled when Clark asked where was she getting all of this info on some very unscrupulous and dangerous stories from. He did not like the idea that Andrea was very willingly putting Chloe in danger. Of course Chloe didn't see it that way she saw it as her chance to do some real good with her articles. He had always worried about Chloe especially since she found out about his secret of his extraterrestrial origins. Chloe took it all in with excitement. She always had a thing for the abnormal and always just wanted to help people. He admired that quality about her but it was that quality about her that caused him to worry. His biggest fear was that she would get herself into something that he could not save her from. That's what made him mad about Chloe and Andrea's little outing. Sure Andrea was strong with super powers and Chloe resourceful but he did not like Chloe doing those types of thing without him.

"So Andrea what's so urgent?" Clark asked impatiently.

"It's Chloe." Andrea told him while folding her arms.

"I thought you said her whole zany plan was off?"

"It is. Well it was."

"OK?" Clark asked confused.

"I mean, it was and she went on the date…"

Clark cut her off furious, "What? Her date? You failed to mention that in your last call."

"I know but she went and then after she left I found out that the tracer on Nick was from Bruce Wayne."

"Figures, I knew I didn't like that guy. Did you tell Chloe?"

"Yeah, I called her a little while ago. I waited until her date was over."

"What you just let Chloe go out with an obvious dangerous guy."

"We don't know all that much yet Clark. And Chloe can take care of herself."

Clark breathed out in frustration and then he turned about to leave. Andrea put a hand on his red jacket clad shoulder.

"Where are you going?"

"To see Chloe and make sure you didn't do too much damage."

"Clark, I am sorry. I really am but we have to put are differences aside to help Chloe and Nick here." She tapped Nick on his shoulder. Nick stood up and looked at Clark for the first time.

"Who's the big guy?"

"Nick this is Clark, Clark this is Nick."

They both nodded acknowledging each other.

Then Andrea continued, "We have to find this guy and find out what he's up to. We think he is working with Lex."

"Yeah, Lex in 33.1. All we found in the lab was a bunch of abandoned machines and Nick being tortured and that weird ninja guy. And Nick had a tracer that we traced back to Bruce Wayne."

"Nick so you're a…"

Nick backed away hesitant. Then he shot Andrea a disappointed look.

She looked at both of them and said, "Relax we're all super powered here. So what do you say Clark, will you help us?"

"Yeah, I'll help."

Chloe climbed onto the fire escape of the rooftop. She took the receiver that showed where Bruce was. It led her right her on top of this dark building. Just what was a Gotham billionaire doing on the dark metropolis rooftop in the middle of the night? Ok, so she has frequented dark metropolis rooftops in the middle of the night but she was an investigative reporter meeting a vigilante. What was his excuse? She took her flash light out of her black cotton purse that strap had been secure across her chest. She looked through the shadows and saw a dark figure go towards the light. It was the ninja from the other night. It was the ninja from the other night? How did she not figure this out earlier? Of course, she meets this ninja guy and the next day she meets Bruce. He is in town doing some business with Lex that he doesn't want to talk about.

"What are you doing here?" Chloe asked in an accusing tone.

"Miss Sullivan. We need to talk."

"Yes. Bruce I think your right we do."

He pulls off his ski mask. "I thought you've figured that out. I found that tracer on my suit. I must say, I am impressed, not much gets passed me, especially a tracer that's my thing."

"I've heard." Chloe said bitterly.

"So what are you up to Miss Sullivan?"

Chloe moved closer to him, "I was about to ask you the same thing. Mr. Wayne."

He leaned in hovering over her whispering in her ear. Chloe shuddered.

"Is this about a story? Is that why you were breaking and entering last night?"

She wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Is this about you being another obsessed billionaire experimenting on the super powered?"

He put his hands around her waist.

"Why are you protecting a criminal?"

She brushed her lips against his and parted.

"Why are you going after a lab rat?"

He then kissed her hard.

"Why do you help those people? They have so much power who is going to control them?"

Breathing hard, her fingers lingered around his upper neck playing with the bottom of his hair.

"You? Who are you to choose to lock people up just because they're different?"

He kissed her neck.

"Who are you to set people free who are dangerous."

She pushed him away. Looking straight at him with a fierce and yet hurt expression in her eyes.

"Every one has the potential to be dangerous, super powered or not."

He gazed down at her.

"Like me?"

She nodded, backing away.

"And you?"

"I'm not dangerous. I just protect my friends."

"I see. And this nick is your friend?"

"No he is a friend of a friend."

Bruce walked towards her and Chloe backed away from him again.

"Bruce, I really don't think this is going to work."

"And we were getting along so well. I suppose we could just agree to disagree."

"I better go. I have things to do."

"So do I, I have a feeling the things we both have to do will conflict."

"Agreeing to disagree isn't going to work. It looks like were opponents Mr. Wayne. It's not the first time I've gone against a billionaire but will be the first time I've gone against a billionaire that dresses up like a ninja."

Bruce moved towards her this time Chloe didn't have and room to back away she was pretty close to the edge.

"It looks that way." He caressed her cheek.

"Are you sure you don't want to hear me out?"

Chloe looked away, "I've heard enough."

He looked down at her with his intense deep blue eyes.

"Chloe what you're doing is dangerous. You need to stop before you get hurt."

"Are you going to hurt me?" Chloe asked looking up at him really wanting to know.

"No. Never but…"

Chloe blinked and then she grazed her hand across his cheek and then she started kissing him passionately.

Andrea fiddled with the homing device that had the location of Chloe's tracer.

"That's where Chloe's at?" Clark asked.

"Yeah, she's on top of the building across town …" The next thing Andrea knew Clark was gone.

"Where did he go?" Nick asked.

"The same place we'll be. He'll just get there faster."

"Huh, where did you find this guy?"

"It's an interesting city."

As Chloe was kissing him thousands of things flooded in her mind like why was she doing this? What had gotten into her? She knew that kissing this guy that was after the guy she was helping to protect was not a smart thing to do. But she knew when it came to issues of the heart she never was that smart.

She found herself melting within Bruce's arms. And then she heard some thing, a whoosh of the wind. It was a very distinct sound that she had grown very used to over the past year.

She froze and immediately stopped kissing.

"What's wrong?" Bruce asked.

And then he turned around and saw Clark Kent staring at the both of them.
