Chapter 15: Secrets Revealed
(Chloe's POV)
It took Chloe a week to heal completely from the ordeal but she healed remarkably well. Anyway here she was heading to back to the office at the Gotham Gazette. As soon as she stepped into the building she heard her boss call. Within a minute of him calling her in she was there holding an article in her hand that revealed Chloe Sullivan is none other than her. Finally with the door closed they started their meeting and secrets are revealed.
Chloe: So Jason what do I owe the call into your office as soon as a walk through the door?
Jason: Well I just wanted to see how you are doing and I have been thinking I need to tell you something.
Chloe: Ok well I have something to tell you but you go first.
Jason: Well Cassie you see my name is not really Jason Michaels but Wes Keenan.
Chloe: But I thought Wes Keenan was dead.
Jason: Well in a sense he is dead where as a clone of him.
Chloe: Ok I can understand it but first off let me tell you that I am Chloe Sullivan just lost my memory for a while.
Jason: I kind of recognized that when you first stepped in the door but I didn't say anything because I figured something happened.
Chloe: Well thank you because if I was pushed I don't know what I do.
Jason: I would you wouldn't be Lois Lane's cousin for nothing.
Chloe: Wes how did you know that?
Jason: Remember Lois and I grew up on a military base together but she was always close to you I heard endless stories.
Chloe: Lois could never keep her mouth shut. Anyway I just wanted to drop this article by so it could be run about my true identity.
Jason: Sure no problem. Oh Chloe do you need a date tonight for Bruce's gala?
Chloe: Why Wes you asking me on a date?
Jason: Yes I am.
Chloe: No I do not and Wes I loved to go with you.
(Chloe just opened the door and then smiled.)
Five minutes after Chloe entered the office she sat at her desk starting work for the day. Also in a good mood after Wes asked her to Bruce's gala that means she have more fun with Dinah and especially Lois reaction to Wes being alive. Finally the thought of being there Lois's first kiss would be fun and also Bruce's reaction to his friend having a date.
(Jason's POV)
Jason just sat in his office after Cassie left but to find out she is actually Chloe Sullivan Lois's cousin was great. Ever since Cassie walked through that door looking for a job he kept a close eye on her because he would notice little mannerisms that reminded him of Lois and he just had to laugh at the thought. Also he thought of the times he would overhear Lex mention what kind of trouble that Sullivan, Lane, and Kent would get into. Finally to the reason he asked her to Bruce's gala is because he had a little crush on her and he was glad she accepted. All of a sudden he was interrupted by a knock on his door and it was none other than Lucy Lane the new photographer and Lois's younger sister.
Jason: Lucy what can I do for you?
Lucy: Wes I was just wondering on how you were doing.
Jason: Lucy how many times do I have to tell you call me Jason when we are here?
Lucy: Sorry Jason but what is this big smile on your face?
Jason: Just our top reporter Cassie Sandsmark accepting a date for the gala tonight.
Lucy: She's back and now I understand. Anyway I could have sworn I saw my cousin Chloe Sullivan leaving your office earlier.
Jason: In that case you are right because it seems that Cassandra Sandsmark is your cousin Chloe Sullivan but just lost her memory for a while. Here read this article and it going in the paper today.
(Lucy walked over and grabbed the article to read.)
Lucy: Well much like Lois she did always have a knack for getting into trouble.
Jason: That she did. Also why don't you go pay her a visit because you are her new photographer?
(Lucy just thanked Jason and then headed over to Cassie's office.)
Also Jason had just let Lucy leave because he just had a lot to be thankful for with Lucy. After he escaped Lex Luthor facility he ran to Europe running into Lucy who helped him stay safe. Now here he was under a new life because he could not go back to his old life to the world Wes Keenan was dead. He did keep tabs on his old life he discovered his wife moved on only to die in a car accident with his children so there was nothing left. Finally he decided his military career would not be good to back into but utilize his skills in a new way.
(Lucy's POV)
Lucy didn't know what to think that the fact her cousin is alive and well. Also the fact they had not talked in years but she always loved Chloe and was devastated when she heard the news that Chloe was dead. Another reason was when Wonder Woman appeared she could have sworn that she was Chloe and her assumption was right. That was all due to her boyfriend Bart Allen who happens to be the Flash and he called her a week ago when they finally found Wonder Woman. Finally here she is standing outside the office of her cousin she looked in and it looked like her cousin was on the phone. So she stepped in and waited until Chloe got off the phone with none other than her sister Lois.
Chloe: Geez cuz Lois I will see you tonight with my date don't worry I already have one. Also it not like the senior prom where I went stag and won queen. Look Lois I have someone in my office I need to go see you tonight. (Chloe hung up the phone and then addressed Lucy.) How may I help you?
Lucy: It seems that you two never stop.
Chloe: Lucy is that you?
Lucy: In the flesh Chloe and it seems I am the new photographer for you.
Chloe: Cool and man this is just a day of surprises.
Lucy: You telling me even with Lois married she still tries to play matchmaker.
Chloe: I know but I really do have a date for tonight.
Lucy: I know that because he just as happy as you. Also you see me tonight because I am going with Bart Allen.
Chloe: You're kidding really who would have thought he end up getting over his little crush on me and end up with family.
Lucy: I know he's the one who called me when they found Wonder Woman.
Chloe: Why didn't you come to the mansion that night?
Lucy: Lois and I had a falling out after you died and I was not ready to face her.
Chloe: Trust me I understand that. Anyway it's good to see you and I am sure will probably see Bart around the office. You have my permission to slap him if he calls me his nickname for me in front of you.
Lucy: Don't worry I kind of like beside he has one for me. Anyway got any leads for an article.
Chloe: No not right now but it does look like lunch time. Would you like join me?
Lucy: I love too.
(Chloe smiled and they headed out to grab lunch.)
Lucy and Chloe where at a café across the seat for lunch and talked some more. Chloe recounted her whole story to me and I was amazed but not happy with Clark. Anyway we had a fun time so it was great finally it was time to go back into the office.
(Chloe's POV)
Chloe had a great time with Lucy at lunch and can't believe she is all grown up. Also she is glad that Lucy knows she is Wonder Woman and will not betray her. Chloe could not believe that she is dating Bart of all people but she always thought they be a cute couple. Finally they made it back into the doorway Jason called them into the office because Bart was there waiting for Lucy. So Chloe and Lucy made their way to Jason's office for some time together.
Chloe: Geez Jason twice in one day in your office this is a record even for me.
Jason: Chloe I could not resist and have you met Bart Allen?
Chloe: Yes we're old friends from the past. So Bart why didn't you tell me you're dating my cousin?
Bart: Sorry Chloelicious but it slipped my mind last week.
Chloe: its ok back besides Lucy filled me in already.
Bart: No problem Chloelicious and anyway I see you tonight at the gala. Jason it was nice meeting you.
Jason: You to Bart. Also I see you and Lucy tonight anyway.
(Bart and Lucy left leaving Chloe and Jason to sit down and talk more.)
Chloe: Lucy is just as bad as Lois right now.
Jason: I know but I owe her a lot by helping me.
Chloe: Wes I hope you don't mind me asking what happened with Lex?
Jason: Well Chloe you see I signed up for a new project with the military to make more effective soldiers by using the Kryptonite.
Chloe: Then you found out it was a fake when it was too late.
Jason: Yes that it and I got taken to the lab with Lex. After three year I started hearing stories of you, Lois, and Clark causing Lex trouble. So when Lex was not looking I had switched one of my clones implanting my memories and set him free.
Chloe: That explains the clone but what about you getting out?
Jason: That did not happened until the Justice League blew up one of the facilities and I escaped. So I made it out to Europe running into Lucy and she helped me hide.
Chloe: Figures she would do that because she was running herself.
Jason: Right but after sometime we decided to stop running and she made a deal with the FBI and I was able to head home. When I got back to the states I could not go back to my old life because I figured out everybody thought I was dead. By the way good obituary you wrote for me.
Chloe: Thanks and I had a lot of help from Lois who was working for the Inquisitor at the time. Anyway I better get back to work and see you tonight.
(Chloe got up and gave Wes a kiss on the cheek.)
As Chloe was heading out she took one last look at Wes thinking man life makes things crazy but you get good people out of it. Chloe made it back into her office only to have the phone ring and it was Lois again. She talked to Lois and finally gave in telling her about her date tonight only to be reprimanded by Lois for it being her boss. So she only knew Lois was only kidding and that they will see each other tonight.
Chapter 16: Bruce's Gala
(Bruce's POV)
Bruce stood in his mansion waiting for the guest to arrive. Also tonight was a special night for Bruce because he had been dating Dinah Lance for two years and never been happier. So Bruce had decided to throw this special gala and propose to Dinah tonight in front of friends. Also Bruce was anxious for another fact it because Chloe called last minute saying she was going to make it after all. Somehow Chloe got a date at the last minute and was wondering who that can be. All of sudden Bruce was brought out of his thoughts when Dinah came to greet him.
Bruce: Dinah you look beautiful tonight.
Dinah: Thanks Bruce hey you looked lost in thought.
Bruce: I was because I was just wondering who Chloe's last minute date was.
Dinah: I know me two because when I saw her for lunch with her cousin Lucy at the café she seemed in a good mood.
Bruce: That really unusual for Cassie but I did not know her when she was Chloe so I could not say.
Dinah: Trust me Bruce it was not that typical for Chloe unless she was around Clark. Now I don't know much of what happened between them before Chloe lost her memory. Anyway I just wanted to see how you were doing and wondering when the guest should arrive.
Bruce: Any minute.
(Just as Bruce said that the doorbell rang.)
So Bruce and Dinah go to the door to get it. As soon as the door opened Lois and Clark stood to greet them followed by Bart and Lucy and some others. Finally after about ten minutes Chloe arrived with her date Jason Michaels. So naturally Bruce, Dinah, Clark, and Lois were all surprised to see Chloe had come with her boss.
(Lois's POV)
Lois stood there looking at her cousin like she was crazy. In the past Lois knew getting involved with her boss was not a good idea. Then again Chloe was not her but there was also something about Jason that seemed so familiar. Also she did not want to deal with the fact that Lucy her sister had come with none other than Bart Allen. Finally she figured that maybe it was time to mend ties because Chloe turned out to be alive. So first she figured she talk to her cousin by taking her arm.
Lois: Geez cuz do you think it a good idea to show up with your boss.
Chloe: Come on Lois it not like the Grant situation. I made a name before I showed up with him and he is not who you think he is.
Lois: Chloe what is that supposed mean?
Chloe: You will find out later tonight. Anyway what do you think of your sister showing up with Bart?
Lois: Let just say it a surprise and I guess I should go talk to her.
(Lois ran off leaving Chloe to head back to her date. Lois made her way over to Bart and Lucy to mend ties.)
Lois: Ok Luc can I talk to you alone.
Bart: I guess that my cue I head over to Clark, Chloe, and her date.
(Bart left leaving Lucy and Lois to talk.)
Lucy: Listen Lois I sorry for what happened after we found out Chloe is dead.
Lois: I know you are and I am sorry for it too. Anyway when did you start seeing Bart?
Lucy: A few months ago. Jason introduced us.
Lois: You know what he seems like a nice guy and I hope he treats Chloe right she deserves it. Also there is something familiar about him but I can't quite place it.
(Lucy just stood there staring at Lois and figured Lois will find out soon enough.)
Also Lois was tired of holding grudges and needed to make up with her sister. Also she needed family close to her because she missed her father. Lastly there was something about Jason that seemed so familiar and she needed to keep a close eye.
(Jason's POV)
The gala had started and Jason was having a great time with Chloe but kind of getting frustrated with Lois constantly looking over. Also as far as he could tell Clark her husband was also getting frustrated but also keeping an eye on Chloe. Finally to get this straightened out he decided to confront Chloe about it.
Jason: Chloe I am kind of getting frustrated with the way the Kents are keeping an eye on us?
Chloe: I know I am too but what should I do?
Jason: I think it is time you should tell Lois.
Chloe: I do too while you are talking to Lois I need to talk to Clark and clear the air.
Jason: Let's do it then.
(Jason and Chloe walked over to the Kents. Chloe took Clark while Jason took Lois so they could talk.)
Jason: Excuse me Clark may I cut in?
Clark: Sure no problem as long as I get to dance with Chloe.
Chloe: That was the plan Clark.
(Chloe took Clark's hand and guided him away to give Jason and Lois some privacy.)
Lois: Jason this is nice but what is this?
Jason: Well Lois first off shall I say you look beautiful. Second off my real name is not Jason Michaels is Wes Keenan.
Lois: Wes but I thought he was dead.
Jason: That was a clone Lex created from his Ares project. I just did not know what I got involved in when I signed up.
Lois: Well I understand that but how did you get out from what I understand the Justice League blew up all of Lex's labs.
Jason: See that what provided me the opportunity. While I was in Lex lab for the project I overheard you, Chloe, and Clark had been giving him trouble so I devised a plan. When Lex left the lab one night I was able to switch me with one of my clones that had most of my memories.
Lois: That was the clone I ran into before he recognized me and the one who died. Now what happened afterwards?
Jason: Well when the Justice League went to blow up the facility I was able to escape just before the explosion. So I went on the run while on the run I heard about my death so I created a new identity. Also I ran into your sister in Europe and she helped me create a new identity new life. Finally when we got back to the states I discovered my wife had moved on but eventually died so here I am.
Lois: Wow…I must say I am happy you are alive Wes. Does Chloe know?
Jason: Yes she knows because I told her before she told me that she was Chloe. Tomorrow I am going to publish the article stating that Cassandra Sandsmark is Chloe Sullivan alive and well.
(Jason and Lois talked some more and danced some more catching up on old times.)
While Jason was dancing with Lois he happened to look over to Chloe and Clark to see how they were doing. He noticed a look on Chloe's face that he had not seen before but knew all was good. Finally he turned his attention back to Lois.
(Chloe's POV)
Meanwhile dancing with Clark brought back memories for her and Clark. She was smiling at the irony of the situation but also she was still mad at him. Despite the memories there was still some more things that need to cleared air.
Chloe: Listen Clark I know we haven't had much time to talk since I got my memory back but I like to do that know.
Clark: I know I would too.
Chloe: I am still mad at you for abandoning me when I needed you the most. You know I had just lost Jimmy and trusted someone that I thought was good.
Clark: I know that too and before you go off at me the situation was more my fault than yours.
Chloe: It was equally our faults because I should have listened to Jimmy, Lois, and your warnings about Davis I would have never gotten into that situation.
Clark: Chloe it was like you said to me over the phone you did it because of my secret. That was when I realized I loved you more than a friend and do everything to get you back.
Chloe: You knew how I felt and you did for a long time but it took me doing that to get you to realize.
Clark: Yes and I am sorry about that. I realized you were right with Davis so that why I thought of using the black kryptonite to separate the two. If I knew how it would affect you I would have never come up with the plan.
Chloe: Clark it needed to be done but I would not trade anything for a moment.
Clark: Me neither because it turned you into an amazing person but mostly the woman that I always admired. I only knew that Cassandra Sandsmark was you because of Jor-El and I never wanted to push the memories because I knew how you react. Your temper mixed with an Amazon temper does not mix because you blew up as Cassie for a number of times.
Chloe: Yeah that a deadly combination. Anyway I am staying Wonder Woman and that is that. Also at least this time we are dancing you are not running out on me and I not possessed by an evil prom queen spirit.
Clark: True that.
Chloe: Let's go back to our dates.
(Clark and Chloe finished dancing heading back to their dates.)
After they finished dancing Chloe was back in Jason's arms. They said goodbye to Clark and Lois heading over to the other side of the dance floor for more dancing. All of a sudden the music stopped and Bruce made a big announcement.
Chapter 17: The Proposal
(Dinah's POV)
When Bruce her boyfriend announced he has an announcement it suddenly shock her. The shock was that she never expected to see what Bruce was doing. Bruce was down on one knee holding out the ring and was going propose tonight.
Bruce: Dinah you have been the light in my life that I never thought would come. Also I never thought I find someone who fit me so perfect since Rachel. I had a feeling ever since we met that Rachel guided us together. So I am asking Dinah will you do me the honor and become my wife?
Dinah: Yes Bruce I would be honored to become your wife. I love you and never thought this moment would come after Oliver.
Bruce: (put the ring on her figure.) I know and I love you too.
Dinah: Bruce when did you find the time to buy the ring because it is beautiful?
Bruce: I had the time after my alter ego duty. Only the best for you love.
Dinah: You bet yah.
(Dinah gave him a kiss and then went to join the other women to show her ring off.)
When Dinah left Bruce she saw him being ushered away by the men of the party. So Dinah looks over at the women who are gathered around her admiring her ring. Finally she noticed that Donna Troy has a ring to and wonders when Kyle proposed.
(Donna's POV)
Donna was amazed by Bruce's taste of rings because it looked almost identical to hers. Then she wondered if Bruce and Kyle bought the rings at the same time. So Donna was happy Dinah seemed so happy because she and Kyle joined shortly after Oliver Queen died. Anyway Donna suddenly became distracted by the voice of Chloe who was talking to her.
Chloe: Wait a minute Donna when did Kyle propose?
Donna: Oh sorry I meant to call you earlier today about this Cassie but forgot.
Chloe: Don't worry about it you probably would have not gotten through anyway. That still does not answer my question.
Donna: Last night is when Kyle proposed ok.
Lois: Wait your ring looks similar to the ring Bruce gave Dinah?
Donna: I was noticing the same thing Lois and I wonder if Kyle and Bruce got them at the same time.
Lucy: They did Bart told me they got them about a week ago before the whole mess with Chloe.
Chloe: I could not help happened with Wonder Woman.
Lois: We know cuz we just pulling your chain.
Donna: Lucy Lane and Lois Lane are related to you?
Chloe: Yes they are my cousins and about the only family I have around know.
Dinah: Hey I am the one who just got engaged so shouldn't this party be about me.
Chloe, Lois, and Lucy: (unison) Sorry Dinah Lance soon to be Dinah Lance Wayne.
Donna: Man they really are family if they said it the exact same way.
(The scene ended with all the girls laughing and having a great time.)
Donna was having fun getting to know everyone and also showing off her engagement ring with Dinah. Finally Donna looked over to the men it seemed they were having a good time too.
(Bruce's POV)
Bruce could not believe his luck Dinah accepted his proposal. Then again he could not be happier that she did. Also he wondered if Kyle had proposed to Donna yet. So he approached Kyle to ask him and join in the conversation with others.
Bruce: So Kyle have you proposed to Donna?
Kyle: Yes I did last night and she accepted much like Dinah.
Clark: That a little scary and when I proposed to Lois it was different.
Bruce: How so?
Clark: Well there was the fact that I had to tell her about my identity and then she did not talk to me for a week after that. Finally she accepted but it took a long time for her to accept.
Jason: Yeah I can see that.
Clark: How do you know my wife?
Jason: Sorry Clark. My real name is Wes Keenan and before you say I am dead let me just tell you it was a clone Lex Luthor made that you ran into.
Clark: Ok does not surprise me.
Jason: That exactly how Chloe and Lois handled it.
Kyle: Who is Chloe by the way?
Bruce: Cassandra Sandsmark is Chloe Sullivan it just she lost her memory for a while.
Clark: That was mostly my fault.
Kyle: I get it now just history.
Bruce: Enough about that let's head back to the party.
(Just after Bruce said his words the men headed back to the women for more dancing.)
Bruce went over to Dinah and the couple just took in the site of everyone having fun. Then he took his fiancé out for the dance to enjoy the rest of the night. Finally the gala was about to be over and the guest started to head home.
(Jason's POV)
Jason had one last confession to make to Chloe before things died down. They were dancing the last dance at the gala. Also it seemed that Chloe was having a great night too. Finally he thought this night was full of a lot of amazing surprises. So he needed to tell her that her article will not go out until tomorrow.
Jason: Chloe I have a confession to make.
Chloe: Ok Wes what is it?
Jason: Well I got so caught up in the excitement about tonight I forgot to put your article revealing who you really are in the paper today.
Chloe: I kind of figured that so it will go out tomorrow it no problem as long as it gets out.
Jason: I glad because it just gave me more time to get to know the real you before you go public.
Chloe: Thanks and tomorrow is going to be crazy after that article is published.
Jason: I figured that so I arranged that you are in your office all day incase more family and friends come to visit.
(Chloe just smiled and was grateful for his kindness.)
Finally the night was coming to an end. Everybody said goodbye and then headed back home. Although Jason and Chloe when they got to Chloe's place they just went in talking some more. Also finally get to know each other better and figuring how things are going to work out as they are dating.
