Chloe stood at the computer like usual, only this time she was just staring at the screen like she was lost inside. The tower was filled with red and green roses, that Oliver had shipped in. She hadn't slept in the past two nights. Every time she closed her eyes she could see Oliver and Tess together and her heart would break all over again.

The doors opened behind her but she didn't move. She stood gazing at the computer. She didn't care if Tess had entered with a sword and stabbed her in the back. It couldn't hurt anymore than she already did.

"Wow, who died?" A.C. said as he entered and flopped down on the sofa.

Chloe put on her strong façade like usual. "A.C. what brings you here?"

"Well if I remember right, you said if we were ever in town on business or pleasure, that we could stay here."

Chloe smiled. "Right. So which is it?"

"I wish that I could say pleasure, but Oliver called this morning. He said he needed my help."

Chloe wrapped her arms around her waist at the mention of his name. She felt like she was being ripped apart. "Business, huh. What's up?"

A.C. shrugged. "Don't know. The green leather hero said to meet him here."

She wanted to grab her purse and run, at just the thought of Oliver coming there. But she was stronger than that, and she was a huge part of the Justice League. She had to put her feelings aside.

The door once again opened and a breath of fresh air, flew by her, blowing her blond hair gently. Clark and Bart stopped dead still in front of her.

"Who died?" Bart asked.

"Already asked that one." A.C. replied. "No answer."

Bart rubbed his stomach. "Are we ordering Chinese?"

"Go ahead and call the restaurant on the corner." Oliver said as he and Cyborg entered the room. He glanced over at Chloe. He wanted to send everyone out and take her in his arms. He wanted to feel her soft skin pressed against him. To smell her sweet fragrance as he kissed her neck. He shook the thought from his head.

"So, what's up?" Clark asked.

"Tess is planning something big. We need to find out what it is and stop it."

Once again Chloe wrapped her arms around her waist, trying to hold herself together. Tess's name coming from Oliver's lips stung like acid being poured into a cut all over her body.

"What do you think she's up too?" A.C. asked.

"I don't know. She has bought a building by the tower of doom." Oliver stated.

"The one that Clark destroyed?" Bart asked.

Oliver nodded. He glanced over at Chloe. His heart aching for her. He needed her more than he had ever needed anyone. This was going to be harder than he thought. "I need you to find out whatever you can about that building. Find out what goes on inside and out." He swallowed hard. "Can you do that?" He asked Chloe.

"I can do a lot of things." She snapped.

"I want you all to stay here. I'll foot the bill at the local hotel like usual." Oliver stated. "Any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads no.

"Alright. Go and get settled in and I'll be in touch."

One by one the army of hero's left the tower. Oliver watched until the last one was gone. He needed to talk to her. He needed to tell her how he was dieing without her. When the door closed behind A.C. he turned to Chloe.

"Can we talk?"

"There isn't anything to say."

"Chloe, I messed up. I know I did. But I can make this work. We can move passed this. You just have to give us another chance."

Chloe bit her bottom lip. "I can't." She wiped at the tears that lingered down her cheeks. "All I see is this image of the two of you when I close my eyes. I thought that I could trust you, but like every other guy in my life you let me fall, only you let me hit the ground hard." She paused. "I can't trust you anymore."

"So just like that, it's over. Your not even going to fight for me."

"I'm tired, Ollie. I have been fighting to live since I moved to Smallville. I just want to live my life and not hurt anymore."

He licked his lips and walked over to her. "I am not giving up. Like I said before, I will fight till the last breath, Chloe." He turned and walked over to the door, pausing and looking back at her. "I'll be back soon as I can. I'll have the guys to meet us here around seven for a briefing of what you find out." He closed the door behind him.
