Flight with dp_lois.

[chloesullivan]

Chloe arrived at the airport a little early simply because she was restless, she had left Mia at the Watchtower with Bart, Oliver was in Smallville, meeting with Tess and she was worried about Clark.

She walked up the stairs of the plane carrying a small overnight bag with her as well as her laptop bag and her purse, greeted the pilot and spoke with him for a moment before walking toward the back of the plane.

Ollie was planning on taking Mia and Bart on patrol that night and she wouldn't be comfortable with not being around, or at least being in their ears, because she knew that if something went wrong and Mia was somehow in danger, both Ollie and Bart would be more vulnerable and more worried about helping Mia than getting them all out of whatever trouble they got themselves into.

Once her things were secured under one of the seats and her phone was in her hand, she sat down and looked out the window. She didn't like the fact that Clark was pretty much by himself in California, having to deal with all of it and she hoped Lois was on time so they wouldn't miss their scheduled flight plan and take even longer to get to the state. At least if Clark needed anything, they would be close by.

"It's not a problem," she agreed with a nod, finishing off Chloe's drink.

With a deep breath, Chloe looked at her, "tell me what you're feeling."

"Like I haven't had enough to drink?" She smiled hopefully.

"Yeah, I want you sober when we land, in case Clark wants us to come by tonight," she pointed out then rubbed Lois' arm soothingly.

She exhaled slowly. "Right. Sober is good." She looked out the window, down at the clouds, then laid her head back against the seat.

Chloe shifted closer to Lois and linked her arm with her cousin's, she wished she could be more helpful, but getting information like that out of Lois was always hard, even for her, and when her own brain was so filled with everything else, it made it even harder.

Lois glanced over at her and smiled faintly, resting her head against Chloe's. "I just need to focus on work."

Smiling slightly, Chloe shook her head, "that's not going to help," she warned her softly, "I think you need time to figure it out and I want you to talk to me about it, but I also think you need to pay more attention for any signs from Clark."

Despite everything else that was going on, Chloe knew Clark didn't just fall asleep with anyone. And she didn't know in which way, but she knew Clark cared about Lois.

"I don't know, Chloe. I think you were right when you said the timing wasn't great. It's not. It's terrible. And it's not like I have any kind of great history when it comes to relationships. I'm just not that girl. You know?" She chewed on her lower lip.

"Not a single one of us has a good relationship history," Chloe pointed out, raising her eyebrows a little and smiling softly at her cousin, "look, I'm not saying jump headfirst into this, I'm just saying there might be something to it."

"Maybe," she murmured. "But I don't want to get my hopes up either. Besides, it's probably just a passing thing. I mean, he's good looking, and sweet and he's saved my life a bunch of times." Lois paused.

Crap. She really was in trouble.

There was no denying that. Chloe leaned closer and pressed a kiss to Lois' temple, "we'll figure it out, Lo, it's what we do."
