Chloe updated Andrea what had happened. She told her how she got caught by the DDS by helping Clark. She didn't mention the specifics of the mission though. Even though Andrea knew about Clark and the strange and abnormal, Chloe doubted she knew about extralestrial things. Even when talking to other superheroes' vigilantes' she still tried to keep Clark's whole alien nature and anything connect with it a secret. That included using government databases to find Brainiac.

Chloe was pleasantly surprised that George was Andrea's secret keeper. It felt good to know that she wasn't the only one on earth with a super powered best friend. Andrea's and George's relationship did remind her of her and Clark's. She never thought in a billion years she could find someone else with a relationship like she had with Clark. It felt good and disappointing at the same time, it made her relationship with Clark slightly less special it not being a one of the kind, but then she realized that it did feel special. They weren't exactly the same.

Then George said, "So how about Andrea will you help us?"

Chloe shot up her eyebrows at George indignantly, "Us?"

"Yeah, I'm helping you clear you're name whether you like it or not."

"Excuse me? Who made you the boss of me? This is my choice. If I choose to be on the run all of my life, it's my choice." Chloe said defensively.

Then Chloe turned to Andrea, "Come on Andrea talk some sense into him. If anyone can understand it's you. You live you're life on the run too with only living life as The Angel of Vengeance."

"Chloe I don't recommend it. Besides, you shouldn't have to. You didn't kill a man." Andrea said frustrated.

Chloe jolted at that.

"Andrea…"

Andrea became angry.

"No, Chloe, you listen. My life is lonely. George is my only friend these days. All I do is try to do my part to keep these streets clean. Now it's all about penance. I can't let myself enjoy the pleasure of having a normal life. I killed a man and it eats at me everyday. But you…Chloe you didn't. You deserve to have some kind of normal life, even if it's a little part of you're life. Chloe you did a good thing, you shouldn't punish your self for it."

Chloe took in Andrea's words. She felt for her friend, feeling like just saving people's lives was her penance. Chloe didn't feel that way. She did this because she cared. There were a lot of people who she could help. And if just being a hero is what it took, then so be it. Besides she had to protect her best friend's secret. This was her only choice. At least that's what she kept on telling herself. A part of her would miss interacting with people in mainstream society. A part of her misses being a reporter and going after that dream, but that's what heroes do, they sacrifice their wants for the common good.

Then George said, "Chloe, Andrea's right. Listen to her. Do you think I enjoy watching my best friend torture herself? She never lets me take her out and introduce her to any of my current friends. She doesn't let me tell any of our old high school friends that she's ok. If there was something I could do to persuade her from hiding in the shadows I would. But Chloe please let me help you."

Chloe ached at Andrea's struggle. She wished there was something she could do. Then something dawned on her.

"OK, Andrea George I'll let you help me on one condition."

"What's that?" George asked.

"If Andrea joins the Justice League."

"Done." George said.

Andrea punched him, "Thanks, for answering for me. Chloe, I've told you this before. I'm really not a team player."

Chloe smiled, "Great, you'll fit right in."

Then George said, "Come on Andrea, I hear you bond with more vigilantes' who love to run around in leather."

Chloe said, "He has a point there."

"Fine, if you let us help you I'll join the Justice League." Andrea said. Then they shook on it.

Then George said, "Great now that's settled. Lets reconveign at your place Andy. I need to go to my place real quick and get a hold of my aunt. Make her call off the S.W. A. T. team."

"Good, we'll see you there." Andrea said.

"And Andrea"

"Yeah?"

"Make sure she's safe." George said sincerely.

Chloe started to feel on warm inside at George's concern.

"No worries. I have mi amiga's back."
