So Much has Happened Prologue
Prologue
Chloe Sullivan, aka the Watchtower of the Justice League, was absolutely glowing. She was truly happy, years after the death of her first husband, life was finally looking up. Her best friend, Clark Kent had finally married her cousin Lois Lane, took long enough. The couple had been fighting their feelings for years until Jimmy’s death, and then they decided life was too short. The thoughts of Jimmy always came unbidden to Chloe, but she didn’t feel dead inside anymore. She could even talk to his little brother these days, not that it was avoidable, little Jimmy followed Lois and Clark around like a puppy.
Chloe, though glowing, was currently ready to kill her “boys” it could just be the hormones, but ever since she got pregnant she had started going soft on them. She had only found out last week, but the hormones were already playing with her mind. She still couldn’t decide on how she was going to tell the father. He didn’t exactly come off as a “daddy” kind of guy. He was more like, “hero save the day, but I’m only human” kind of a guy.
Chloe strode into her office at the JL headquarters, there was less than two hours before their next mission was to go down, and she had to make sure all the members had full communications.
She loved her job as Watchtower. Years ago she agreed to work for Oliver’s merry band of heroes to stop Lex Luthor from experimenting on Metahumans. She had been around Clark long enough to want to be a hero, and Oliver’s team needed a watchful guardian. She took the job on full time two years later, after Doomsday, Davis Bloome, killed Jimmy. She could never forgive herself, but she did it all to protect Clark. She had fought with Jimmy about Davis, and then it turned out Jimmy was right, Davis was a murderer. To keep Davis from killing Clark, Chloe took off with him to hide from both the Justice League and the Police. That afternoon when she used the black kryptonite on Davis to keep Clark’s conscience clean, she would never have thought the day would turn out that way.
Davis lay unconscious on the floor of Jimmy’s beautiful wedding present. The apartment was magnificent, but her heart ached to make up with Jimmy, she confessed her love and sorrow. He kissed her and she thought only for a moment that everything was going to work out all right. Then as he pulled away, Jimmy’s voice broke in pain. A metal bar was pierced through his chest. Davis stood behind him in a fit of rage, “I thought you loved me!” Tears ran down Chloe’s face as her husband crouched in pain, and the dark haired man started towards her. The last second before Davis would have killed her; Jimmy pulled him back, throwing Davis atop a pile of building supplies. The monster of a man died, while Chloe held her first true love in her arms; life slipping from his eyes.
After Jimmy’s funeral, she was dead inside; she threw herself into her Watchtower duties. She couldn’t go anywhere near Lois and Clark; it seemed overnight they went from coworkers with a lot of sexual tension to a couple with the type of love that made Romeo and Juliet look like a crush. It took most of her energy to keep Oliver from self destructing. He blamed himself for getting Jimmy involved, so Chloe was constantly setting up missions to keep the League and more so, herself from having to deal with the pain.
