Chloe Sullivan

Since the news about Lex Luthor being alive broke, Chloe hadn't slept. It took her about thirty-six hours to pack up everything she needed and drove to Metropolis, under the circumstances, it was as fast as she could make it.

Her employer had managed to set up an hotel room for her until she could find a permament place is she decided to stay, and once she made sure all the cameras and security were as desired, she called Lois and set up to meet her during work hours at her cousin's apartment. She was nervous about seeing her again, but with Lex back and obviously being interested in the other woman, she had no choice but to keep an eye on her and make sure she was safe.

It was just a little after two when Chloe made her way up to Lois' floor, her heart was beating fast but her expression didn't betray her emotions, she knew that when it came between her and her cousin, she had to be the collected one.

With just one more deep breath as she stood by the door, she willed herself to relax and knocked, then waited.

Chloe had convinced Mia and Lois to go shopping with her, not that it had been a particularly difficult task or anything, but she really needed their help since Ollie was the hardest person to shop for and she also had no idea what to get Mike.

Besides, she felt like some girl time would be good, especially for Mia who had been pretty much stuck with Mike and Ollie while Chloe was gone, she knew Lois barely functioned when she was too worried about something.

Mia and Chloe left the Watchtower ten minutes before the time they were supposed to meet with Lois for lunch at the Italian restaurant near the shopping center they were going to and still made it there before Lois.

Once they settled on one of the booths, Chloe checked her phone and shrugged a little, "in Lois time, it's still early, hopefully she won't be too much longer."


[Posting order: Mia, Lois and Chloe.]

"You do remember Aunt Lois, don't you?" She asked Mike as they entered the elevator of the Planet and waited for it to get down to the basement. Normally, she would have taken the stairs seeing as it was just one floor, but right now she was trying hard to balance the box of donuts, the tray with their coffee and the chocolate milk precariously sitting on top of it, her purse and keep a firm grip on the little boy's hand all at the same time.

But she had managed it this far, she could manage a few more steps, besides, the look on Lois' face would be priceless and completely worth it, that much she was sure of.


Posting order: Mike, Lois and Chloe.

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 had been a long day of preparations, Victor and Clark did all of the cooking, Bart chopped things up faster than anyone else could, and Clark might have sped up the turkey cooking process with his heat vision because Bart kept complaining he was hungry.

Ollie and AC helped around the kitchen while Lois made it her job to stop Chloe from doing much of anything at all. She was pretty sure those were Oliver's orders for the day, but she had insisted on at least setting the table, and that had been the only time Lois had actually insisted on helping.

In the end, everything had turned out well, there was food for about twenty people on the table, although, between Clark and Bart, Chloe guessed they wouldn't have a lot of leftovers. But that didn't matter, what really mattered was that everyone was there, together, healthy, talking and eating, like the family they were.

They had had a long night, Lois had fallen asleep on their bed, so Chloe and Oliver just ended up sleeping on the couch when Clark had to leave because he heard someone calling for help.

It hadn't been the most comfortable night, but it was for a very good reason. Chloe could hardly believe her cousin was back, not only Lois, but Clark too. It was like having her whole family back together after two very long years without them.

When they woke up, Oliver insisted on going out to get them breakfast, so Chloe was sitting on the couch, wrapped up in blankets and reading the paper while she waited for him to come back and for Lois to wake up.

So the Bruce Wayne Gala is coming up and as usual with Chloe and Lois, they left the dress shopping thing for last minute, now they would be lucky to find dresses that fit perfectly and didn't need any adjustments.

Chloe has been waiting for five minutes, she knew she should have dragged Lois from the Planet with her but she had to do something apparently and insisted on meeting Chloe at the store instead. And Chloe should have known she should have gotten to the place thirty minutes later than what they agreed on.

So she's just going through the dresses in the racks as she waits, making faces at them, wondering how people could wear some of that stuff.
