Notes: This is a very AU scene filler for Chloe's stay at the castle.
Part 1
Chloe looked through yet another drawer in Lex's desk finding nothing of interest except Altoids. Of course she stole the entire container with a kleptomaniac's glee.
What? He was a billionaire, he could afford more.
Sucking on the spicy mint, she sighed and sat back in the desk chair.
This was ridiculous. Chased out of her own home by friends turned assassins, forced to sit and twiddle her thumbs in Lex's castle while he was off probably raiding villages and deflowering innocent maidens. If Boy Wonder didn't fix this pesky 'Let's murder Chloe' problem, she was going to...
Obviously, this was not her best week.
Chloe flipped on the expensive orgasm-inducing laptop that lay on the desk, waiting impatiently for it to load.
Maybe she could find something incriminating, even if it was just farm animal pornography. Eww.
The screen popped up and the blonde began searching through the files.
Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Recent E-mails. Maybe he has a pen pal or a cyber sex buddy. The snoop formerly known as Chloe snickered and clicked on the icon.
The E-mail at the very top made her gasp.

Crap. Frantically, she clicked on the Status button.

Chloe looked at her watch. 5:40.
He had a four minute head start.
Wasting no more time Chloe leapt out of the chair and ran for the doors. She came to an abrupt halt when one of the doors started to open. She made a break for the library stairs, bumping into the leather chair on the way.
Please let there be a door up there. Please let there be a door.
She reached the top of the steps only to realize there was no door. Trapped, she scrunched behind one of the reading chairs just as Lex stepped into the study.
Chloe peeked over the top.
The predator stood silently in the middle of the room searching for his prey.
Lex tilted his head to the side as if listening to something far away before he turned and left the study.
He never spared her a glance.
Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and laid her head against the back of the chair closing her eyes.
Too close.
After a couple of minutes, she made her way down the stairs. As she reached the bottom step an arm shot out and wrapped itself around her waist while a hand muffled her scream.
Struggling, Chloe bit her captor's palm. Kicking back, she rammed the heel of her heavy boot into his shin. Lex's viselike grip loosened and she sprinted for the door.
Her hand had barely touched the handle when Lex grabbed her by the arm and threw her across the room. Chloe fell to the hard floor with a yelp, stars of pain dancing before her eyes.
He stalked toward her, a strange gleam in his eyes. He was acting differently than the other attackers. Almost... Animalistic.
Panting, Chloe crab-walked across the floor before landing in a heap by the desk. Using the desktop for leverage, she pulled herself up and began backing toward the fireplace.
Lex abruptly ceased pursuit. Reaching into the waistband of his pants, he pulled out a gun and aimed it at her forehead.
