I love it. You've posted bits of this before? The whole ambigously evil chloe/not so ambigously evil Lex dynamic is one of my favorites. Especially since SV!Clark is a bit of a pussy.
I've spent five minutes debating whether or not the quotation mark in this "Put me down, she says." is just in the wrong place or if Batman or Superman is supposed to be saying it, which I could also see.
I think this bit was my favorite though: When she passes Lex later that night at some function or other, she doesn't tell him about Lois' call.
Don't mind me, I'm just a random journal hopper/fic reader

In public, they are not those kinds of people.

She forgets to tell him in private, too.
They're not those kinds of people.
So yes, I like it a lot.
