TOH 22

Bruce was just leaving the dorm building when he heard a voice behind him,

"Bruce, wait up."

Bruce turned around surprised, "Chloe, what are you doing?"

"I'm helping you."

She said as confidently as she could utter. She was shaken by what just happened but she did what she had to do. She did what she thought was right for her and everyone.

"What about Clark?"

"If he doesn't believe you then he has to figure this out on his own." She said in some what grim voice.

"So you do believe me?" Bruce asked sincerely.

"I do, mostly. We need to find that weapon. That's what is important."

"Well we better get a going, then."

"Lets."

Clark could not believe that Chloe would just leave him like that. He could not believe that she choose Bruce, this guy she has known for only a day over him. It didn't make any sense. None of this did.

He didn't know who to trust any more. He had always trusted Chloe. He knew that she must have really believed in Bruce for her to leave him. Could her feelings for him be clouding her usual impeccable judgment? Clark thought that was the most likely explanation.

She had fallen for guys that turned out to be dangerous before. It has been a long time since she had though. When he was thinking about it, it actually was a long time sense she had fallen for any kind of guy at all, to his knowledge.

This is what must have happened. She had fallen for Bruce who was this dangerous guy that Clark just had to save her from. It was his duty as her best friend.

Nick and Andrea arrived at the lab and Andrea stopped.

"Something's not right." Andrea said as she was scanning the formerly abandoned lab and noticed some working computers.

"These were almost completely dead last night."

"So, let's get on with this."

"Nick what's going on?" Andrea asks suspiciously.

Nick looked away into the shadows of the lab. Suddenly a couple guards with guns came in. Andrea was about to leap up out of there when one guard shot her hard with an electric blast.

She passed out.

Nick looked down at her unconscious body ensued with sympathy.

"I'm sorry. It was the only way."

Then Lex Luther appeared from the shadows with a sadistic smile, "Well done, Nick."
