A/N: My try to tie both Chloe and Dick into each others life after Doomsday… I know, it seems that both Lois and Clark are getting off as badies here, but let me remind you that season 8 ended with Clark being an ass… (God, I still can’t believe that!!!) and well, I figured that whatever happened to Lois altered her soooo much that she even forgot her previous life… hmmm… Anyway, poor Chloe, is all I say to that! Chapter dedicated to ‘ChamberlinofMusic’ because yes… they are almost like Chruce! *wink*

It hadn’t supposed to be like that, repeated inside her mind over and over again as she sat inside the train. She had gotten on a train, without looking which destination it was travelling to, and if she had been honest, she really didn’t care much. All she wanted was to get away. Get away from Metropolis, and away from the unfairness of it all.
After Doomsday, she had really believed that she could continue her work as watchtower. She even got the apartment that Jimmy had given her cleaned and tried to wire it as much as possible, but failed when it came to the necessary equipment. Because Oliver hadn’t wanted her to work with him anymore. Because she was one of the bad guys. And what was worse was that she really had firmly believed that Clark could have been her back up, the guy to save it all.
But Clark had suddenly decided that humanity was weakening him, and wanted to rid himself of it. So he started with a self finding trip, in which he left her all to herself. So there she was, alone in Metropolis, without her bestfriend or her cousin. Lois had still been missing, and even if it was one of Chloe’s goals for months to find Lois, she just couldn’t do it herself. What was worse, was that when Lois finally came back, she had suddenly been a totally different person. Nothing like the Lois she remembered and it seemed Lois also didn’t remember her cousin.
But Chloe had still hoped that Lois would one day just return the way she was. Only it never happened. Instead she had been the target of the ‘new’ Lois Lane. Socially burnt in the newspapers, she had tried to find help from Oliver or his team; the emphasis lying with ‘his team’.
So there she was, all alone and no one to go to. What was she to do, where was she to go? It had all looked so dull to her, that she abounded her home, got on the next train that got out of Metropolis.
As the train came to a final stop, Chloe got up and reached for her purse. The only thing she had taken with her, thought Chloe, suddenly realising that she was alone in a new city, with no one to help her. Oddly enough it didn’t scare her as much as it should have.
She walked some few steps, into a dark alley, when suddenly behind her she heard noise and saw three men following her. As she quickened her steps, she noticed that they’d adjusted to hers, so she did the only irrational thing she knew how to; the Chloe-thing to do. She turned and was prepared to take on the three men with the little self defence she had learnt during her time with Lois.
Only it didn’t plan out as she thought it would. Go figures, she thought. There was a masked hero suddenly driving her way with a motorcycle that looked like… a bird? Strangely enough Chloe accepted her heroic rescue as if it was nothing special, even helping by kicking one of the men in the shins when he tried to come up from behind and hurt her masked hero.
When the rescue act had finally finished, the man introduced himself as ‘Robin’ and held out his hand to her. She smiled and then replied “Watchtower, nice to meet you!”
Yes, life hadn’t planned out the way it should have, but instead Chloe actually got the next best thing. She was able to build herself a life in Gotham as ‘the new’ Watchtower first helping Batman and Robin, and later on Batman and Nightwing. Life wasn’t great, but she lived through it. With the help of her new friends in Gotham.
