Part One
For as long as she could remember Chloe had lived her life for everyone other than herself. So much of her existence had been revolved around Clark Kent that she had completely lost all of the dreams and aspirations that she had had for herself.
There were so many reasons that Chloe had had for doing the disappearing act nearly three years ago, and her wish to have her own life was only one of them.
Thing was in the act of trying to become her own person she had successfully managed to kill any and all mention of Chloe Sullivan. At first it had been about necessity, if she was going to effectively hide from the entire gang of superhero friends that she had accumulated and her up and coming star reporter cousin than she had to disappear completely. At least until they stopped looking which she had hoped would've taken a little less time than it had. She was pretty sure that Oliver still had someone searching.
Oliver of all the people that would never give up the search, she hadn't expected it would be him. Lois had given up first, resolving to be angry with her cousin rather than admit that Chloe had severely hurt her. Clark she somewhat understood, he'd figured out the flying thing than he himself had vanished for a couple years, she supposed he was finally finishing his long awaited training.
But Oliver had not stopped; every where she turned in this new life she'd started there seemed to be another someone from Queen Industries asking questions.
Oliver, though she was now beginning to believe that maybe he had loved her in the end, he never fully grasped her talent, none of them had.
Chloe closed her eyes and inhaled the stench of Gotham city; she'd only ever been to Gotham once. Oliver had had a meeting and it was near the beginning of their little arrangement. He'd nearly begged her to get on that jet with him, and if she had been honest with herself the last thing she had wanted at that time was to be apart from Oliver Queen.
She hadn't wanted to return to Gotham, it was the home of Batman and though she had never met the superhero she'd had her fill of superheroes. Not to mention the latest super hero gossip that he'd joined the league. That could be disastrous for her. In the past 6 years she had effectively managed to steer clear of every single person that had any kind of special ability.
By becoming a ghostwriter she could continue to do what she truly loved, write; without anyone questioning her about who she was or where she came from, they didn't want to know anything about her because then it would be too much like stealing.
She came in she wrote their story and she left. It was that easy and it kept her moving never in the same place twice.
Now she had been hired again, though something about this one just felt different, this person had searched her out, and he'd found her.
Or he'd found Anne Smith. Anne Smith was a quiet woman in her late twenties, she was a ghostwriter always on the move and if desperate she could get you out of any tech problem you had. That was the most that anyone knew about her these days and yet he had managed to track her down.
Chloe wasn't entirely sure why she had chosen that name or in the end made the decision to accept the job. Maybe deep down Chloe was kind of glad that someone had actually found her after all these years. Even if it wasn't the someone she had been hoping for.
Chloe grabbed her duffel and made the dash across Main Street to the hotel her new employer had reserved for her. She'd yet to meet the man, she didn't even know his name and this above all else bothered her the most, these days Chloe didn't do anything without knowing exactly what she was getting herself into. She knew that he must have money and influence, or else he wouldn't have been able to find her and looking at the hotel he'd put her up in only confirmed her suspicion.
"Anne Smith, checking in" the girl behind the desk looked up and Chloe was taken aback by her natural beauty. Violet eyes so piercing she would have though them contacts where it not for the pale blue ring around the iris. Her skin was like fresh cream with only hint of light freckles over the bridge of her nose and under her eyes; on someone else it would have looked childish on this girl it served to make her eyes look that much bigger. Her hair fell in large curls over her shoulders so dark it was like night.
She was every writers fantasy the perfect heroin.
"Welcome to The Grand my name is Luca Dawson we've been waiting for you Miss Smith." She smiled and Chloe was once again captivated unable to hear the warning signal, they had been waiting for her that was never good.
"Mr. Wayne put you up in the penthouse; I would love to stay in the penthouse. So what are you doing for Mr. Wayne? I bet it's something secret. He is a very secretive man."
So Bruce Wayne had hired her, Chloe smirked another billionaire bachelor, just great.
"Isn't he in every single paper here?" didn't seem very secretive to Chloe and Chloe knew more than she should about secrets.
"Yes but none of that stuff is real, if we believed everything the gossip columns told us than we would be overrun by aliens from other planets and every other woman would have slept Bruce Wayne, and as good as I'm sure he is, he isn't that good." Luca winked at Chloe and Chloe nearly laughed, it had been a very long time since she had mindlessly chatted with another girl about boys.
"So you don't believe in Aliens?"Chloe responded and this time both girls really did laugh.
"Here you are," Luca unlocked the set of double doors to the Penthouse suite and shuttered as she walked through. Her duffel hit the floor beside her and she instantly made her way to the floor to ceiling windows. She could see the entire city. It felt so much like watchtower that she wanted to cry.
"Pretty nice hey, there's a small kitchen in the back you can hit the grocery store tomorrow it's just across the street, I'd avoid going out at night even with Batman out there, it's still Gotham and he's only one man. Have a good night Anne," Luca slipped out and closed the doors behind her, Chloe couldn't take her eyes from the view of the city.
This would not do if she was going to keep her own secret.
