Chapter 14: When All That's Left Is To Say Goodbye
Her hand fell to her side. Her grip loosened and the phone hit the floor. A blank stare took over her expression and her body stiffened. The name kept ringing in her ears. Oliver Queen. Oliver. Oliver. She hoped Chloe was wrong. She prayed she was. But her mind went on high alert knowing that Chloe was never wrong. It all began to make sense, how had she not seen this before? She heard Clark’s voice faintly in the distance. He tried to get her to speak, to find out what she heard but…nothing. She сказал(-а) nothing. She sat completely still as if in a trance. She tried to talk but no words managed to leave her lips. Her gaze locked on the phone that had fallen to the ground.
“Lois? Lois? Hello? Are Ты there?” Chloe asked frantically on the other line. Clark quickly reached down to pick up the phone.
“Sorry Chloe we’ll have to call Ты back.” He сказал(-а) quickly and without waiting for her to respond he ended the call, shifting his focus back to Lois. Her mind was racing. She clenched her jaw and swallowed hard as a mix of rage and sadness took over her. He placed one hand on her thigh and used his other one to pull her face towards his.
“Lo, what is it?” His words were shaky. He watched her intently as her lips slowly began to part.
“Oliver.” She mumbled. “It was Oliver.” Her eyes shut and she took a deep breath.
“I knew it! All along I tried to shut out that little voice in the back of my mind that told me it was Oliver and now…” he ran his fingers through his hair. “We have to do something about this, it has to stop.”
“Clark…” she looked down and nervously played with her sleeve.
“No Lois, Ты can’t possibly be having any секунда thoughts about this, he’s not the same Oliver we once knew.” He told her sternly, once again pulling her gaze towards his. “Don’t worry I’ll take care of him, and trust me once I'm through with him, he will never bother Ты again.”
“Can I try to handle it my way, first…please?” she picked up her phone, not waiting for an answer and started to head for the door.
“Lois wait.” He grabbed hold of her arm, pulling her back. “I know how stubborn Ты are,” he smiled. “So I’ll let Ты handle it but if he tries anything, Ты have to tell me right away and let me handle this, promise? And since Ты won’t go to the police, it looks like I’ll have to do it my way.”
She immediately understood what he was intending. She had never been used to the all manned-up Clark much. He always preferred to under-play his strong masculinity in front of other men, partly as a cover of his dual life, she assumed. The main reason being that he never liked being that way. But now seeing him like this, Lois realized just how much he loved her and cared for her. He shredded the one thing he rarely does, his inhibitions.
“Okay Clark. I promise.” She smiled as he rubbed her forearm. “You don't have to get all 'blurred' up now, super dude. Whatever it is, he won't back off unless the words come from me" Looking at Clark's assuring eyes, she really hoped she made the right choice.
“Can Ты drop me off at his place on your way home?” she asked as she took hold of the door handle. Just as she was about to open the door, Clark’s hand pulled hers back. “What?” she looked at him confused, not bothering to remove her hand from his tight grip, there was something about it that was comforting.
“Are Ты sure that’s such a good idea?” she tilted her head giving him a questioning glance. He gave her a ‘like Ты don’t know’ look. “Going to Oliver’s…alone.”
“Why wouldn’t it be?” she shrugged.
“I just don’t think it’s…safe, going there alone. Can’t Ты just call him?” He took her other hand in his, holding them both to keep her close.
“No, I have to do this. Didn’t Ты agree to let me handle it?” she intertwined her fingers in his as she stared up at him giving him щенок dog eyes.
“You’re right, but be safe! If anything happens-“
“I’ll let Ты know right away.” She cut him off, finishing his thought with a reassuring nod. He smiled; comforted by the way she could complete his sentences.
Oliver’s Penthouse
Lois paced back and forth in the small elevator trying to control her emotions. She felt her stomach tighten as the elevator stopped at the all too familiar penthouse. She used to Любовь going there, but now, there was nothing she dreaded more. She quietly walked in looking around for a, usually shirtless, Oliver Queen. He was nowhere in sight. She glanced around the penthouse taking in how different it felt to be in there now. She did a double-take when she noticed a picture of her sitting on the mantle. She walked over, picking up the picture to analyze it. She hadn’t been looking at the camera which made sense considering she didn’t remember taking the picture. Her hands began to shake as she started to put the picture back realizing what had happened. She doesn’t remember this for one simple reason; she didn’t know it was being taken. She suddenly felt her сердце begin to race as she wondered how many of these he had, and how many times he’d been watching her…and she had no idea. The sound of footsteps approaching in the distance startled her, making the picture of her fall to the ground, the frame shattering into a million pieces. She spun around to find Clark standing outside the elevator.
“Clark?” Lois squinted as if not believing her own eyes. He dismissed her inquiry as his focus remained glued to the shattered glass surrounding her feet.
“Lois be careful, watch your step.” He told her cautiously. “I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you.” He walked towards her, crouched down and started picking up the pieces of glass.
“It’s okay, it wasn’t your fault. I was just…jumpy.” She joined him in crouch and began to help clean up. Clark picked up the picture of Lois that had been in the frame. He turned towards her his face filled with anger and confusion.
“What is this!?” he stood up, crumpling the picture in his fist. She looked down, shaking her head as she moved вперед leaning onto Clark’s chest.
“I’m really scared Clark. I just want this to stop. I want it to be just Ты and me with nobody to get in the way.” She whimpered. He nuzzled her hair, holding her tight. But then she pulled back still holding onto his forearms and looked up at him. “Wait, what are Ты doing here anyways?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.
“I was about to ask Ты the same thing.” Oliver walked into the room and just as Lois suspected, he was shirtless. What was with this man and his inability to wear a shirt? She used to Любовь it but now she tried to resist the urge to хлопать, привкус him. But her anger got the best of her, like it often did. She walked up to him and without saying a word, slapped him right across the face. “Ow!” he yelped, rubbing his hand across his cheek and jaw.
“You’re an ass.” She barked, pointing her finger at him violently. “What don’t Ты understand? I don’t Любовь you. I don’t want to be with you, things will never ever be the same between us and the fact that Ты can’t seem to get that through that head of yours makes me infuriated. Ты have to stop with all the gifts and creepy text messages, I’ve had enough, I don’t want anything to do with you. Ты made your decision that night, and now Ты have to live with it. No matter how hard it must be for Ты to believe it. I don’t know how else to tell Ты this. I Любовь Clark, not you. In fact just the idea of Ты makes me want to throw-up.” She was waving her arms around her aggressively while Clark stood behind her trying to cover the smile that was sneaking its way across his lips. Oliver stood in front of her, looking down through her speech and then his eyes made its way up to hers.
“Lois, I’m sorry.” He сказал(-а) relentlessly, throwing his hands up in frustration. “I just don’t know how else to tell Ты how much I care about you. I can’t take seeing Ты knowing that Ты belong to someone else; that I will never be able to be with Ты ever again. Seeing all the pain I’ve caused Ты hurts me еще than Ты could ever imagine and I thought if I showed Ты how I really felt…you’d maybe change your mind about how we feel. Everybody makes mistakes, and I know mine was a huge one but I guess I was just hoping we could Переместить past this, start a life together.” He smiled hopefully. Lois chuckled, holding her stomach as she tried to stop the erupting laughter.
“You have got to be kidding me Oliver. There’s no way Ты could honestly believe I would want to start any sort of life with you. Can Ты just tell me how I can prove to Ты that I don’t want to be with you? What can I do to make Ты just leave us alone?” her voice became еще serious as she stared deep into his eyes, her hazels blazing with fury.
“Lois, please.” He walked up closer and grabbed her hand. She quickly snatched it back as Clark stepped in.
“Don’t touch her.” Clark warned furiously. Oliver dismissed him, and kept his gaze on Lois. He placed a strand of hair behind her ear, sliding his fingers across her cheek. Clark, enraged by his sudden act pushed Oliver by his shoulder moving him away from Lois and to face him. He punched Oliver hitting him square in the face and watched blood trickle down from his nose. “I сказал(-а) don’t touch her.” He repeated turning around to walk back over to Lois to make sure she was okay.
“Clark! Behind you!” she screamed and Clark spun around to see Oliver coming at him with a Kryptonite arrow. He jabbed it into his shoulder, throwing Clark to the ground. “Oh my god! Clark!” Lois screeched as she fell to her knees beside him.
“No Lois don’t, the baby.” He said, barely managing to get the words out. “Stand back, the baby might be weakened by the meteor rock like me.” He mumbled. Lois reluctantly stepped back her hands covered in Clark’s blood as she sobbed.
“Please Oliver don’t do this.” She wept. She took a step forward, once again coming closer to Clark. She couldn’t handle seeing him there in so much pain when she couldn’t do anything to help him.
“Lois! Don’t! Please, the baby’s life is еще important than mine.” He grumbled. Oliver looked up at Lois in shock as the word ‘baby’ kept ringing in his ears. What was he doing? How could he live with himself knowing that he killed the father of Lois’ unborn child? No, he couldn’t. It would only make matters worse than they already had. Since when had he become this…monster? He felt his сердце sink from his chest and he bent down Далее to Clark pulling out the Стрела from his arm. He threw it across the room, far enough for the green glow to disappear. Lois fell to her knees beside Clark pulling him into her arms.
“Clark! Clark! Are Ты okay!?” she sobbed, sweeping his hair off his forehead. She felt her hands shaking as she wrapped them around his body covering with blood. She took a quick look at all the blood on her hands making her cry even more. Oliver stepped back as he watched their exchange. He was about to destroy a family. He suddenly became aware of what he needed to do. Clark scrambled to his feet pushing himself off the ground and Lois quickly got up beside him, looking at him with fear. “Are Ты okay?” she trembled, pulling off her cardigan, preparing to tie it around his arm for pressure. He pushed her hand away and shook his head with a smile.
“Lois I’m fine.” He сказал(-а) as he took rolled up the sleeve of his shirt. “See?” he smiled as he showed off his perfectly healed and extremely muscular arm. His smile grew larger as she watched her bite her lip.
“Well good.” She grinned nodding her head trying to keep her cool. “I would be worried for this baby growing up in the sole care of Lois Lane.” She giggled playfully hitting his arm. And then her giggling died and her face became еще serious, as she looked up into his eyes through her eyelashes. She jumped into his arms, wrapping hers around his neck. “I’m so happy you’re okay, I don’t know what I would have done without you. Ты mean too much to me.” They stepped away from each other, their arms still around each other. He leaned down and kissed her; completely ignoring the fact Oliver was standing right behind them. He cleared his throat to re-announce his presence. Clark and Lois turned to face him as the joy that lit up their faces suddenly vanished. “We should go.” Lois nodded; intertwining her fingers with Clark’s and started pulling him towards the elevator.
“Yeah that’s probably a good idea.” Clark agreed, following her as he shot Oliver a disappointed look. Lois stepped into the elevator and Clark let his hand slide from hers. “Lo why don’t Ты wait downstairs, I’ll be down in a minute.”
“Clark…” she sent him a nervous glance but he reassured her with a sincere smile.
“Don’t worry Lois, I won’t do something I regret.” He сказал(-а) knowing exactly what she was thinking. She nodded and let the elevator door slide close.
Clark turned to face Oliver who had been just standing there quietly. “How could Ты do it?” Clark asked and Oliver realized he was еще disappointed than angry. “Lois looked up to you, she looked up to the hero Ты were. She thought of Ты as someone to save people not destroy them. She needed the friend in Ты Oliver, whenever things got hard she needed to know Ты were there if ever she needed, to be someone she could trust and confide in. But then Ты took that from her. Now she can’t even hear your name without being traumatized by what Ты did. Even though Ты may be sorry Ты have to know that it won’t change what Ты did. Ты can’t just take it back. And your presents, text messages and Цветы have to stop. They just bring back all the painful memories that she’s trying to forget. What she really needs is for Ты to back off, because nothing you’re doing is making anything any better. When she told me what Ты did I was stunned, shocked and angry. I couldn’t save her from this and the worst part is knowing that it was you, someone who she believed she could trust and would never hurt her. One who had moved on to be a good friend for her whenever she needed. How could Ты do it?”
“Clark please Ты don’t understand.” He stepped forward. “You know how much Lois means to Ты right?” he сказал(-а) waiting for Clark to nod in agreement. “Then how would Ты feel seeing her with someone else and knowing that the life Ты once dreamed of with her would never happen?”
“That does not excuse what you’ve done.” He сказал(-а) his tone getting еще serious.
“Would Ты not just do anything to get her back?” Oliver asked trying to give reason to his mistake.
“You’re kidding right? There’s nothing Ты can say to make what Ты did any less horrible.” Clark shook his head and turned around starting to walk away.
“No wait! That’s not what I meant; it’s just about how I was trying to Показать her how I felt. But Ты have nothing to worry about…” his voice trailed off, as he ruffled his hair.
“What? Why?” Clark turned back, his brows furrowing with confusion.
“I’m leaving tonight. I’m going to take a vacation…indefinitely.” He shrugged his shoulders. “I just can’t do it anymore, seeing her, with Ты and always being reminded of the mistake I made. Knowing that I made her feel this way, it hurts too much. I feel so bad; I care about her so much. And I know I can’t just take it back, but Ты have to believe me that if I could I would. I want her to be happy and if that means without me then I get that. I don’t deserve her, not anymore…so please, take care of her okay?” he sighed and Clark wasn’t completely sure but he could’ve sworn he saw tears fill Oliver’s eyes.
“I will. Goodbye Oliver, I’m sorry things had to end this way, I really am.” Clark shook his head and stepped into the elevator.
------------------------------------
Lois waited outside rubbing her arms to keep warm. Clark stepped outside and couldn’t help but smile at the sight; she just looked so adorable. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, snapping a picture of her.
“Clark what are Ты doing?” she quickly turned around at the sound of the camera. “Let me see that!” she giggled and snatched the phone.
“You looked cute.” He blushed and shrugged his shoulders. She looked up from the picture a coy smile inching across her lips.
“Here let’s take a better one.” She smirked and pulled him in so his lips met hers as she raised the phone to take a picture. Their lips parted as she looked down to see the result. “Much better.” She сказал(-а) clearly pleased with herself as she showed it to him. “What do Ты think?”
“I think I’m going to have to agree with Ты on this one.” He сказал(-а) against her lips as he leaned in for another kiss. Her lips softly brushed against his.
“What happened up there?” she asked curiously. He cupped her cheek with his palm and smiled.
“Don’t worry everything is going to be okay, Oliver is not going to be bothering Ты anymore. Let’s just say he has decided to go on a really long trip.”
“Thank Ты so much!” she smiled letting out a sigh of relief. “Did I ever mention how much I Любовь you?”
“I wouldn’t mind hearing it again…” he grinned as she stood up on her tiptoes. She leaned in close to his ear and he could feel the warmth of her breath.
“I Любовь Ты Clark Kent.” She whispered. She leaned back looking into his eyes that were so full of love.
“I Любовь Ты too Lois Lane.” He pulled her in, Поцелуи her passionately making her foot slowly rise. Their Kiss was broken by a sudden drop hitting Lois’ face. They looked up at the sky and saw millions of tiny snowflakes falling to the bare ground.
“It’s beautiful.” She smiled. “There’s nothing like the first snowfall.” He watched the snowflakes hit her eyelashes as she stared up at the sky. She stuck out her tongue trying to catch one and he laughed tugging on her hat making it cover her eyes. “Hey!” she giggled pulling it back on вверх of her head. He scooped her up into his arms. “Clark!” she сказал(-а) through her uncontrollable giggling. “Where are we going?”
“Home, we have some unresolved sexual tension we need to deal with.”
-------------------------------
want more? Ты know what to do :)
Her hand fell to her side. Her grip loosened and the phone hit the floor. A blank stare took over her expression and her body stiffened. The name kept ringing in her ears. Oliver Queen. Oliver. Oliver. She hoped Chloe was wrong. She prayed she was. But her mind went on high alert knowing that Chloe was never wrong. It all began to make sense, how had she not seen this before? She heard Clark’s voice faintly in the distance. He tried to get her to speak, to find out what she heard but…nothing. She сказал(-а) nothing. She sat completely still as if in a trance.

“Lo, what is it?” His words were shaky. He watched her intently as her lips slowly began to part.
“Oliver.” She mumbled. “It was Oliver.” Her eyes shut and she took a deep breath.

“Okay Clark. I promise.” She smiled as he rubbed her forearm. “You don't have to get all 'blurred' up now, super dude. Whatever it is, he won't back off unless the words come from me" Looking at Clark's assuring eyes, she really hoped she made the right choice.
“Can Ты drop me off at his place on your way home?” she asked as she took hold of the door handle.

“I’m leaving tonight. I’m going to take a vacation…indefinitely.” He shrugged his shoulders. “I just can’t do it anymore, seeing her, with Ты and always being reminded of the mistake I made. Knowing that I made her feel this way, it hurts too much. I feel so bad; I care about her so much. And I know I can’t just take it back, but Ты have to believe me that if I could I would. I want her to be happy and if that means without me then I get that. I don’t deserve her, not anymore…so please, take care of her okay?” he sighed and Clark wasn’t completely sure but he could’ve sworn he saw tears fill Oliver’s eyes.
“I will. Goodbye Oliver, I’m sorry things had to end this way, I really am.” Clark shook his head and stepped into the elevator.

Lois waited outside rubbing her arms to keep warm. Clark stepped outside and couldn’t help but smile at the sight; she just looked so adorable. He pulled out his phone from his pocket, snapping a picture of her.
“Clark what are Ты doing?” she quickly turned around at the sound of the camera. “Let me see that!” she giggled and snatched the phone.
“You looked cute.” He blushed and shrugged his shoulders. She looked up from the picture a coy smile inching across her lips.
“Here let’s take a better one.” She smirked and pulled him in so his lips met hers as she raised the phone to take a picture. Their lips parted as she looked down to see the result. “Much better.” She сказал(-а) clearly pleased with herself as she showed it to him. “What do Ты think?”
“I think I’m going to have to agree with Ты on this one.” He сказал(-а) against her lips as he leaned in for another kiss. Her lips softly brushed against his.
“What happened up there?” she asked curiously. He cupped her cheek with his palm and smiled.
“Don’t worry everything is going to be okay, Oliver is not going to be bothering Ты anymore. Let’s just say he has decided to go on a really long trip.”
“Thank Ты so much!” she smiled letting out a sigh of relief. “Did I ever mention how much I Любовь you?”
“I wouldn’t mind hearing it again…” he grinned as she stood up on her tiptoes. She leaned in close to his ear and he could feel the warmth of her breath.
“I Любовь Ты Clark Kent.” She whispered. She leaned back looking into his eyes that were so full of love.
“I Любовь Ты too Lois Lane.” He pulled her in, Поцелуи her passionately making her foot slowly rise. Their Kiss was broken by a sudden drop hitting Lois’ face. They looked up at the sky and saw millions of tiny snowflakes falling to the bare ground.
“It’s beautiful.” She smiled. “There’s nothing like the first snowfall.” He watched the snowflakes hit her eyelashes as she stared up at the sky. She stuck out her tongue trying to catch one and he laughed tugging on her hat making it cover her eyes. “Hey!” she giggled pulling it back on вверх of her head. He scooped her up into his arms. “Clark!” she сказал(-а) through her uncontrollable giggling. “Where are we going?”
“Home, we have some unresolved sexual tension we need to deal with.”
