Clark stood there stunned. Chloe was kind of afraid for George's safety since Clark stares have known to be deadly. Chloe backed away embarrassed. George got up annoyed. Andrea had pursed lips looking amused about the whole thing.
Then Chloe said awkwardly, "Andrea, Clark."
George turned to Andrea going straight back to business.
"So, Andy did you get what I asked for?"
"Not quite. Chloe's cousin has an idea that we think…"
Chloe interrupted, "It's a horrible hero exposing idea."
Then Clark interjected, "She won't expose anyone's secret identities. She'll just let the public know that there are heroes out there and that they are here to help. Then the article will explain about the specific mission."
"She doesn't know anything about the specific mission!" Chloe yelled outraged. She couldn't believe she was even having this conversation in a room full of heroes: people who live secret lives in order to help people. She couldn't believe Andrea and Clark would even consider risking everyone else's secrets just to help her.
"Exactly. That's why you should write that part."
"What?" Chloe asked Clark baffled.
Then George chimed in excitedly, "That's a great idea. Who knew your friend had brains."
Clark stared at George fiercely and then shrugged, "Come on Chlo. You know Lois really shouldn't write this article without you. And you know how relentless she can be when she has set her mind on something."
Chloe knew that. Lois was her favorite cousin and she loved her to death, but sometimes she could be overzealous. And if she had set her mind on doing this there was nothing she could say or do to stop her. But she couldn't let Lois write this article risking everyone's exposure.
Then Clark said, "Chloe you really should help her make sure she gets all of her … facts straight."
Clark said it like he was saying something else to Chloe. Like Chloe was the only one who could get his greater meaning. And she did. She knew that Clark meant for her to write her own spin on what happened. And Lois couldn't write an article like this with out her. Not now. Lois was just starting to get into the whole protecting super hero's secrets and she just didn't have strong hold on it. She couldn't help but laugh when Lois tried telling Chloe that Ollie's Green arrow equipment were just decorations. Chloe needed to make sure that Lois didn't divulge too much. So then she agreed.
"OK. Guys I'll do it."
Andrea, Clark, and George all smiled triumphantly.
