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.

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?"

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.

"It's gone." She assured him, watching his face for any signs of the monster before glancing towards the secret room which had been sealed shut once more, "It's been taken care of. You don't have to worry about it."

His eyes were watery. "Thank you," he whispered.

"Lets get out of here, okay?" She said softly, placing a hand on his arm. She had to get back to Metropolis, to check on Ollie and make sure he was okay and also on Clark, to make sure he had gotten back from the fortress okay.

He covered her hand with his for a moment and nodded his agreement, then froze. "Oh God. Oliver." His eyes widened with alarm.

With a pause, she nodded, swallowing hard, "he's with a doctor, but I need to see him, we need to go, Davis."

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

He nodded quickly. "The car's stolen," he admitted with a wince as they moved toward it. "But I guess that doesn't matter at this point."

[chloeas.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, holding out her hand, "do you have the keys, I'll drive."

[davis-dooms.livejournal.com]

He dug them out of his pocket and handed them to her without hesitation.

Chloe took the keys, nodding at him before rushing to the car, starting it as soon as he was in and taking off to Metropolis.

"I know there is a lot you need to think about right now, but if you need help with anything, Davis. Let me know. You'll probably need a new identity, I can do that for you, drivers license, social security, medical history, anything."

"Right now I just want to make sure I didn't--" He stopped himself before he could utter the words kill Oliver Queen. He knew how real the possibility was. He hadn't been able to control the beast to stop it from happening. He knew what the thing had done, had used his body to do. He swallowed hard.

She glanced at him, her stomach turning at his silence, the look on his face told her what he had been thinking of. She just wanted to make sure that hadn't happened to him, she had to get to Metropolis. Fast.
