Chloe was late by fifteen minute, she told Ollie she would be back to the clocktower at eight, but Lois caught her just as she was about to leave work and she couldn't exactly pretend not to notice her cousin, she had been getting suspicious by Chloe's evasiveness as it was.

To her surprise, Ollie hadn't called her the second she was late, he had been understandably tense by everything that was going on. As she stepped out of the elevator, she frowned at the darkness, all lights were off in the clocktower, something wasn't right.

"Ollie?" She called carefully, turning the living room light on. No sign of him, her heart started beating faster as she dropped her purse on the floor and started turning every light she could on, looking into each and every room, calling his name.

"Ollie!" Her voice was getting more desperate at every room she looked into, and then, finally, she went to the master bedroom, her stomach turning at what she saw there.

There was a big dark red stain on the sheets, the bedside lamp had been shattered to pieces, and in the middle of the messy bed lay a single piece of paper. Chloe rushed towards it, already dreading the worst.

You shouldn't have betrayed me, Chloe.

She gasped as she read the words, she didn't need a signature to know who the note was from. Davis. Davis had Ollie and he was hurt, bleeding, she had to find him, she had to help him, she only hoped she wasn't too late.

He watched her intently from the closet, his eyes already glowing red. He watched as she found the blood, the note. He watched her eyes grow wide with fear, listened to the frightened gasp that escaped her. She didn't know fear yet.

Without making a sound, he left his hiding place and moved to stand behind her. "Did you think you could betray me twice and get by with it?" he whispered against her ear.

She held her breath, stilling when she heard him. If Davis was there, then maybe... "Davis," she gasped, eyes wide as she turned to face him, "Davis, where is he? What did you do to him? He has nothing to do with this."

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

"He has everything to do with this," he said harshly. "But don't worry. He's not dead." He paused for a long moment.

"Yet."

He looked down at her, the touch soothing him some even though he didn't really want it to. "They'll still look," he told her, lifting a hand to her face. "I would. They have resources. They'll know. They'll find a way. Don't worry, Chloe. I'll take care of everything." He smiled at her, then took her hand as the elevator doors slid open. He tugged her out of it and toward the car he'd stolen.

She went with him, her stomach in knots, she had to think of something, anything that would convince him to just take her and leave Clark and Ollie alone, she had to make sure Ollie was alive and then she would have to lie. To somehow convince Ollie to lie too, to make Davis believe he wouldn't try to find them. Somehow.

"Where is this place?"

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

"It's a surprise," he told her, opening the passenger door for her. "You'll see soon." There were bloodstains on the floor mat of the car, on the steering wheel, on the dashboard. "Get in."

A familiar voice whispering his name lured him toward consciousness despite the lingering pain that swam behind his eyes. Everything hurt, including breathing. He tried to remember what happened, tried to recall what had caused the pain, but for the moment he was drawing a blank.

He struggled to open his eyes and when he did, there was two of everything, and the pairs were red and blurry.

She let out a breath when she saw him moving, tugging even harder on the ropes, but it wasn't working, so in an attempt to get closer to him, she knelled down on the floor, ignoring the water that was all over the place, she leaned forward, "Ollie," she whispered, her voice breaking, "it's me, you don't have to speak if you can't, it-- it's okay."

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He coughed, tasting something coppery and metallic in his throat and mouth and grimacing as he realized it was blood. "Chloe?" he mumbled dimly, turning his head toward the sound of her voice.

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

"She's not wrong." His voice was low and dark, almost a growl as he slowly descended the concrete steps.

Oliver tensed at the sound of the other man's voice and he wound his hands around the chains binding his arms, using their strength to pull himself to his feet. Not that it was going to last long, considering the condition he was in at the moment. "Keep away from her."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Chloe closed her eyes and let out a deep breath when she heard his voice, her arms dropping to her sides in defeat, it had taken her too long. Unconsciously, she held on to Ollie's arm, helping him stand up, meeting his eyes for a moment, she shook her head, "I'll handle it." Her voice was barely audible.

With another quick look at Oliver, she turned around to look at Davis, positioning herself between them, she looked up at the other man.

It too him a while, but Clark finally found the place, he could only hear one heartbeat inside, a weak one at that, and since he couldn't find Chloe or Oliver, that wasn't good news.

Ripping the door off of its hinges, he walked in, looking around, "Chloe?" He called.

[dl-greenarrow.livejournal.com]

He'd never been so relieved to hear another man's voice before in his entire life. "Clark. He has her. He has Chloe." His voice was weak, and he struggled to get the words out. "You have to find her."

[thekentboy.livejournal.com]

Clark supersped in the direction of Oliver's voice, giving him a quick look before breaking the chains effortlessly.

"Where did he take her?"

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

Davis gripped onto the steering wheel of the car tightly and glanced at her sideways. "Anywhere you've always dreamed of going?"

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Back inside. She thought to herself, not being able to get her mind off of Ollie, but Davis was believing her, she had to keep going and just hope Clark got to him on time.

"There is one place I've always wanted to take you." She sat up, turning to look at him, hoping he'd accept it, if she took him there, they would know where to find her.

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

He was almost surprised by her words and he glanced at her curiously, his eyes near normal once more. "Where?" he asked, a small smile tugging at his lips. The thought of them being together, forever, calmed him.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She wrapped her arms around herself again, it was hard to forget what he had done to Ollie, but it hadn't been him, and she had seen both sides of him up close before and she knew there was a big difference between what he was and what he wanted to be.

Which was why she was going to try to be honest with him for the first time since he got back. "What if I told you that there is a way to separate your human side from your kryptonian side?"

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

He looked over at her, his eyebrows furrowing a little with confusion at her words. "Separate me from the monster? How would that even be possible?" he asked uncertainly.

Clark was there in less than a second, the caves had been the first place he checked but when he didn't see them there, he went back to Metropolis and started searching the areas around the place he had found Oliver. Until Chloe's call.

He stopped next to her, his eyes wide, "are you ok?" Her clothes were dirty, but other than that, she looked ok.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She blinked and turned to look at him, hanging up the phone. "I'm fine, did you find Ollie? Do you have the rock?" She had to ask.

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

Once she realized the beast was gone, she turned her attention back to Davis, her eyes wide as she got up and walked over to him, "Davis? Are you okay?"

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

He looked up at her with wide eyes, then rose to his feet. "Did that...it's gone." The relief he felt was enormous, and followed by a rush of fear. "What happened to it? Where did it go? Is it loose somewhere?" He swallowed hard.
