Chlark: Soulmates Part VIII
Rating: K
Pairing: Chloe/Clark, Lois/Richard, and Vicky(Chloe)/Bruce
Summary: Ok I had this story in my head for a while so I thought I write it down. Originally this was just going to be a simple two-shot but I decided to make it into a series of two-shots with different scenarios. Using songs to express different points of views of Clark and Chloe, so here is another one. This one uses a character from Batman universe in it. This time the points of view are duets Chloe's POV will be expressed in the song "( I Wasn't the one [Who said Goodbye] " by Peter Cetera and Agnetha Faltskog and Clark's POV will be expressed in the song "Last Thing On My Mind" by Leanne Rimes and Ronan Keating. This scenario is Chloe Sullivan decides to go back into Journalism so she finishes her degree at Gotham University since her name is still blacklisted she writes under the alias Vicky Vale working for the Gotham Gazette . This takes place in the Superman world after Superman Returns.
(Chloe's POV)
Your eyes and my eyes haven't talked in quite a while
Seems like a lifetime since I walked beside your smile
There's a dark cloud that's hanging above
Memories never lie
Still we talk about the way that it was
And I think we both know the feeling hasn't died
Vicky Vale (a.k.a. Chloe Sullivan) was sitting at her desk still fuming about what is happening between her and Bruce Wayne her boyfriend. She had noticed lately that they have seemed to grow distant after the past few months by keeping secrets from her. This latest secret about helping an ex-girlfriend Selina Kyle was the last straw that why she gave him this latest ultimatum. She had a feeling she would know the outcome that Bruce would chose Selina because that is who he loves more. This makes her think back to her past relationships.
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da Da
The first one that she thinks back to is the one that happened before Bruce with another billionaire but this time she was still Chloe Sullivan. She had dated Oliver Queen with a friends with benefits kind of thing it worked because they really cared about other people. So when she left that life behind it did not hurt to go away and start a new life. Then there was the relationship with her husband Jimmy Olsen who ended up getting killed because she was protecting a certain friend by trusting the wrong person. At that instant Bruce Walked in and interrupted her thoughts.
Your touch and my touch haven't spoken for some time
You say we've both changed and your always on my mind
I can tell you that it's over and done but I would only lose
Being close to the want that I want
So go on and ask me if I'm still in love with you
[Vicky put her computer on sleep mode so she and Bruce could talk.]
Vicky: Ok Bruce what have you decided?
Bruce: Vicky I want to let you know that this has not been an easy choice and that I still want to be friends.
Vicky: So your choice is Selina and let me say I kind have predicted this. This is why because I see your eyes light up every time she is around and I could never do that for you.
Bruce: I understand I want to see you happy too.
Vicky: Bruce I will be maybe it good for me to be on my own again for a while.
Bruce: I understand but don't give up on love to easily it might be in the most unlikely of places.
Vicky: What do you mean with that?
Bruce: Let just say an old friend was inquiring about you at the Justice League meeting last night.
[With that said Bruce got up giving her a kiss on the cheek, and then headed out. Vicky was just left in shock because she knew who that certain friend was.]
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
And I won't be the one to say that we can't try
Da Da
Vicky went back to her desk not knowing what to think. First that was the last thing she expected for Bruce to say let alone Clark asking about her. Second she had left that life behind seven years ago because she was tired of being the back pocket girl to Clark Kent's life. Third she knew that Clark was dating her cousin but maybe he is feeling lonely because he left without so much as a goodbye. For three weeks Lois ranted to her over the phone about it and then she found out she has a nephew that is Clark's son. Fourth she knows that Clark is probably in moping mode as she use to call it because he blew his chances a long time ago. Finally she was not going down old broken roads again.
There was no need for you to ask - please don't ask
You oughta know by now, ooo babe, I want you back
She had no more time to dwell on it because she had to finish this article before she got ready Pulitzer ceremony. That is the one thing she was happy about because Chloe will be fulfilling a long time dream if she got the Pulitzer just she reached it a roundabout way. After what Bruce said she wondered if she will see Clark there maybe she could get the truth behind Bruce's statement.
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
At five she was done for the day printing out her article for the editor and then she headed to her apartment to get ready. Once she made it to the apartment she found her dress and changed into it. An hour later she was ready and called a taxi to take her. So she got to the ceremony paying the taxi driver heading in for it. As she was heading in she thought back to time in her senior year that she was prom queen and went stag it all brought her back. Once in the hall she found her seat and low and behold she was sitting at the table Clark was at and that was not all she was sitting next to him. It was awkward to say the least but Lois eased the awkwardness with giving her a big hug and then the ceremony started. When it was time for the best article in journalistic achievement it was awarded to Vicky Vale and she was shocked. She got up and accepted it then headed back to the table with a smile on her face.
I wasn't the one who said goodbye, oh no
I wasn't the one who disappeared in the night
[Two hours later the ceremony was over, Lois and Richard said goodbye to Vicky saying congratulations on the win then left in a taxi. As for Clark he stayed behind offering to walk her home so they could talk.]
Vicky: So Clark what with this walk
Clark: First off I wanted to congratulate you on the win I know it been a dream for you Chloe. Second I wanted to see how you were doing with what is happening with Bruce?
Vicky: Thanks Clark. As for Bruce we broke up earlier today and I kind of knew that would happen. What is the sudden interest in my life Clark?
Clark: It just you were my friend once and I still care that why the interest.
Vicky: I don't know what to say to that Clark because we have not talked in seven years.
Clark: I understand but am glad to see you happy. Well I better get going.
(Clark turned to leave but before he could leave Vicky stopped him. Clark turned back to her saw the look in her eyes making his move by kissing her. When they came up for air it was Vicky who spoke.)
Vicky: Wow the spark is still there. I guess Bruce was right when he left.
Clark: I agree with the spark. What did Bruce say before he left?
Vicky: Just saying that you were inquiring about me last week.
Clark: Why did you stop me Chloe?
Vicky: I missed you Clark and maybe we can look into being more than friends this time.
Clark: I agree and missed you too Chloe.
Vicky: Let's get out of here before we draw anymore attention.
[With that said Clark let Chloe lead him by the hand to the taxi. They headed back to her place to talk and catch up. So they fell asleep on the couch in each other's arms for the start of a new beginning.]
Here is the last of the latest two shot. Enjoy and Review.
