Chlark: Soulmates Part XI
Rating: K
Pairing: Chloe/Clark, and Bruce/Diana mentions of Chloe/Oliver, Lois and Clark
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. Clark's POV will expressed with the song 'If I Could Turn Back Time' by Cher and Chloe's POV will be expressed with the song 'Save the Best for Last' by Vanessa Williams. Ihave been thinking of how to make Chloe Power Girl for a while in this two shot series so today I was listen to two of my favorite songs and got an idea. So here it is it has been 40 years since the fateful day that Chloe Sullivan was killed by Lex only to die Oliver Queen's arms. As a witness to the death of his onetime best friend Clark Kent regretted the way he treated her. Now ten years after the death of Lois Lane Kent his wife and cousin of Chloe Sullivan Clark is realizing that a certain Karen Starr computer programmer might be his long dead best friend and the woman he always has loved.
(Clark's POV)
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that've hurt you
And you'd stay
Clark Kent has been in a somber mood lately mostly because he lost the love of his life Lois Lane to lung cancer ten years ago. Speaking of his wife he realized that he pushed away the one friend who was by his side all the time and even knew his secret before Lois. That said friend was Chloe Sullivan cousin to his wife but the girl that gave him his first kiss. That friendship fell apart due to many things over the years and the one that broke the camel's back was what pushed her to her second husband Oliver Queen when her first husband was killed by Doomsday.
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Prides like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby..
Chloe Sullivan and Oliver Queen had a good few years together and a strong love but he always felt that it was second choice for both. He had his own issues but feeling like Lois was his first choice and she was the love of his life but felt more for the cousin who should have been the love of his life. Chloe Sullivan was the one that got away he had only himself to blame.
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that've hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
And you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
This blame was because he pulled away at a time that she needed him after Jimmy died. So she turned to Oliver who was dealing with his own demons who after losing Lois to him. The blame further continued when he discovered while he was dating Lois that Chloe and Oliver were an item. Then two years after that discovery Chloe and Oliver had gotten married and left for Star City. So his contact with Chloe became more distant and only on work basis while she worked as Watchtower for the League. Then the fateful day came when Lex Luthor came back from the dead and murdered Chloe in front of his eyes and she died him Oliver's arms. That is when he realized that he loves Chloe more than a friend and should have been with him.
(If I could turn back time)
My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darlin then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know I was blind, and darlin...
After that he turned away from everyone even his girlfriend Lois. When he came back one year later he proposed to Lois after working things out with her and they lived a long happy life knowing Chloe was watching over them. Four years later a new hero arrived on the scene possessing Kryptonian powers but not really sure who she is. So Lois and Clark helped her adjusting to being here forming the identity of Karen Starr computer programmer and Power Girl she has become the friend and leader to the Justice Society.
