He shakes his head, remaining firm. "You're wrong, Chloe. You're wrong. Jimmy Olsen is dead because of me, not you. I did this, you didn't. Your husband, the man you love, died, and it's all my fault. And nothing you say or do can change that." There's unshed tears in his eyes for his would-be friend, and for her. "I might as well have killed him myself, Chloe." His words are harsh, but true. Jimmy was dead because of him, and in more ways than one. Clark had loved his wife, and a part of him had wanted to take her from him. So, instead, Jimmy's life had been taken away. A cruel exchange, but Clark figured he deserved the guilt.
"I killed Jimmy..."
His words are whispered, like a realization on his part.
