Chloe Sullivan (SV)

**Chloe Anne Sullivan-Queen** is Oliver Queen's wife and Clark Kent's closest friend. She served in the role of Watchtower, where she provided operational support to Clark and Oliver and the Justice League. Previously, Chloe worked for a few years as a struggling basement reporter for the Daily Planet and then managed the Isis Foundation.

Chloe's parents are Gabe and Moira Sullivan. Chloe has no siblings but has two cousins: Lucy and Lois Lane. Chloe is very close to her older cousin and the two have often looked after each other.

After four years at Smallville High School, Chloe moved back to Metropolis after graduating in 2005. She had been attending Metropolis University as a journalism major and was also an intern at the Daily Planet. She began writing obituaries and classifieds and answering the 24-hour news hotline, followed by small general-interest and current event articles. She, along with many other staff members, was fired from the *Daily Planet* by the paper's new owner, Lex Luthor. After Chloe was fired from the *Daily Planet*, she became manager of the Isis Foundation.

Due to her computer skills, Oliver Queen chose Chloe as a part-time member of the Justice League, working as "Watchtower" in a mission coordinator capacity and other digital espionage, until she finally decided to becomes a full-time member. Since then, her career has turned from journalism to more of an oversight position in the superhero community.

After dealing with an infection from Brainiac's programming, a wedding nightmare, and a serious trust problem, Chloe and Jimmy were unable to sustain their relationship and they divorced. Chloe also tried to keep Davis Bloome from killing Clark and finally witnessed in horror as Davis and Jimmy killed each other. She was devastated after this and pleaded with Clark to go back in time and prevent Jimmy's death, since it was both of their faults that he died. Clark flatly refused, driving a wedge between them and severely straining their friendship.

Since she had been emotionally destroyed, the only safe place that she found was the computers of her Watchtower and began to spend more time there than in the real world, keeping her eyes over Metropolis through the monitors and helping the heroes' community. This led her to become a harder person, manipulating people like chess pieces in the name of the greater good.

Because of the time spent together with Oliver, the two started to develop an attraction towards each other and started a relationship "without strings" that ultimately developed real feelings in both of them. Chloe eventually decided that she wanted to be plugged again into the real world and realized that her time as Watchtower was only a facet to escape her loneliness, but Clark persuaded her to continue helping the community saying that she was a real hero like him and Oliver and that what she created will be a legacy for future generations of heroes.

Chloe was desperate to find Oliver after he was abducted, so she turned to the Helmet of Nabu for help. Not only did she see Oliver's location, she also saw much of the future. She later traded herself for Oliver and set up an elaborate fake death so she could disappear and keep her friends safe. Later, she returned to help and successfully save members of the Justice League, and was asked to be the Maid of Honor for the upcoming marriage of Clark and Lois and got married to Oliver.

## Powers and Abilities

### Empathic healing

Sometime before actually moving to Smallville, Chloe and Moira were exposed to meteor rock radiation and Chloe suffered a mutation that remained latent until it manifested as mysterious healing tears when Chloe was twenty years old. So far, this was shown at least four times - two of which she underwent herself. Chloe used her powers for the first time in May 2007 at Reeves Dam, when she healed her cousin Lois. Lois was bleeding severely from a deep stab wound then died and after Chloe started crying, a tear fell on Lois and she was resurrected. However, Chloe herself was rendered unconscious, to such a degree that the staff at Smallville Medical Center pronounced her dead. Her powers further manifested by reviving her three hours later in full health.

Dr. Curtis Knox later performed testing on her meteor rock infection and informed her that she has a high concentration of the mineral in her heart.

The next time she used her powers, she had apparently gained some control over them. She used her healing powers, this time without tears, to heal a cut in Jimmy Olsen's finger as a demonstration of her newly professed status as a meteor freak. As she healed him, she explained that the side effects were harsh while visibly wincing and clutching her own finger. Presumably, she took on the pain of Jimmy's cut, suggesting that Chloe's power has an empathic component.

Chloe's abilities are capable of activating without her explicit will, as seen when her body eventually resurrected itself back to life. Her healing factor has yet to exhibit being able to accelerate Chloe's self-recuperation outside of resurrection, suggesting that her powers are still developing.

When she healed Lex Luthor after he was shot, Clark observed that she had no heartbeat for 18 hours, much longer than her previous recovery period. This suggests that the empathic component to her powers may weaken over time, or that perhaps Lex's injury was just that much more severe than Lois'.

Also, Chloe's healing factor had a remarkable impact on Brainiac. The machine's power reserves were severely depleted after he attacked her at the Talon, as her ability to heal countered Brainiac's attempts to infect and render her comatose like he had done to Lana. After she recovered, Chloe has not successfully used her healing powers. This was evident at the beginning of Season 8 when she tried to heal Clark from Oliver's arrow wound. She also didn't attempt to use it to save Jimmy when he died, implying it is definitely gone, but it is never explained.

### Information broker

Over the years, Chloe has developed the research and computer skills to get just about any piece of information she needs. Chloe's computer skills qualify her as a member of the Justice League, as their information broker, Watchtower. From her high school years onwards, Chloe could search fingerprints databases, run license plates, download satellite images, hack cellular phone records, and access old newspaper archives. She carries a wide assortment of spy gear in the trunk of her car and is well-versed in their operation. She is highly skilled in using the Internet and other online databases of information. She has contacts in various strategic places, including the Smallville morgue, emergency services, and police stations.

Chloe can not only search online databases: she can also create and forge information records. When Kara Kent came to Smallville, Chloe generated a detailed back story for her based on growing up in Minnesota for 19 years until Kara tracked down her blood relative, Clark Kent. To support the back story, Chloe was able to produce records in order to make Kara's background more credible. She was also able to create an undercover background for Clark as a police officer from Coast City. Chloe also assisted Clark in giving the Kandorians human names, passports and id badges to blend into the Human Race she also erase records of her existing on the internet with ease showing great skill in that too.

### Truth compulsion

While exploring a secret LuthorCorp lab, Chloe temporarily acquired the kryptonite-based power to compel others to tell her the truth. As with other examples of kryptonite-enduced powers, this ability seemingly lowered her morality, as she made people tell her their private thoughts and details about their past with no regard for the consequences to those who were speaking, such as when she exposed a well-liked teacher's past role in a man's accidental death. She even influenced Pete Ross into mentioning Clark's abilities and Martha into mentioning Clark's conflict with his biological father- although Clark was able to deflect and interrupt Chloe's interrogation before she could learn anything definite- and prompted Lex to admit that he still wanted his father's love despite everything Lionel had done. When Lionel attempted to force Chloe to discover Clark's secret, Clark used a cure devised by the original project's creator, Doctor Jonah Doyle, which he injected directly into Chloe's heart, restoring her original personality and leaving her feeling guilty about what she had forcibly exposed during her infection.

### Super intelligence

Shortly after the encounter with Brainiac, Chloe manifested a form of super-intelligence in which she could retain and process data. She was able to memorize and compute complex algorithms and crack codes faster than LuthorCorp's most powerful super computer and also read at super-speed. She also had access to Brainiac's greatly advanced knowledge of the universe. Chloe demonstrated a sub-power of her super intelligence that allowed her to kill a memory-absorbing man by touching him. This feat was possible by overloading the man's brain with knowledge. She also demonstrated some form of temporary super strength while attempting to open a portal to free Clark from the Phantom Zone. After she was freed from her Brainiac infection, Chloe's super-intelligence disappeared.

## Early life

Chloe was born in Metropolis in either late 1986 or early 1987. Chloe's parents divorced when Chloe was young. Her mother first left the family when she was five, but Chloe had at least some contact with her mother until age eight in 1995. One day Chloe came home with her hands covered in ink. When Moira instructed her to wash them, Chloe disobeyed. Moira again told her to wash them until the ink was gone, but found Chloe scrubbing her hands until they bled. Moira realized that she could control her daughter with her meteor power and possibly hurt her, so she had herself committed to a mental institution.

Chloe was unaware of this fact until her senior year of high school, believing before then that her mother was simply not interested in having a relationship with her. The Sullivans moved to Smallville in 2000. Chloe quickly befriended Clark Kent after he showed her around the town and his family farm. She also became good friends with Pete Ross in eighth grade. She also told Mikhail Mxyzptlk she had 'fun' with Johnny Brosen back in the 6th grade.

## History

### Season One

Chloe was the reporter and editor for her pride and joy- the *Smallville Torch*, the newspaper at Smallville High School, which she attended with Clark and Pete Ross. At the *Torch* office, she maintained a "Wall of Weird," a large mural where she posted articles concerning the often bizarre and eerie events that take place in Smallville, many of which are related to the mutagenic effects of the kryptonite from the 1989 meteor shower. Chloe seemingly had 24-hour access to the *Torch* office and a computer set aside for her personal use.

With contacts at the police station, public records, as well as even local hospitals and morgues, Chloe became Clark's source of information when it came to stopping metahumans determined to achieve their goals at the expense of hurting people. Many of these metahumans were students at Smallville: as a result, the victims were often classmates. Chloe was no exception and had several dangerous encounters in her freshman year.

When Chloe helped Clark investigate Coach Walt Arnold, he retaliated by attempting to burn down the *Torch* office. Sean Kelvin, a popular football player, managed to get through Chloe's cool exterior and get her phone number. When he was transformed into a metahuman who could suck a person's body heat from them, Chloe became his target, but Clark saved her just in time.

Chloe was briefly fired from her post as Editor of the *Torch* by Principal Kwan because he did not think she was adequately covering school events and instead focusing too hard on the strange but unsubstantiated goings-on of Smallville. Chloe was devastated and even lashed out at Lana's honest attempts to help her get the paper back. She later apologized to Lana for the outburst and vowed to improve her skills as a school reporter.

Later, Chloe and Clark met Kyle Tippet, a reclusive former salesman who could force his will on others with a handshake. Chloe insisted on a demonstration and when Kyle told Chloe to do something she's always wanted to do, she gave a surprised Clark a passionate kiss, but did not remember doing it seconds later. Not wanting to embarrass her, Clark did not tell Chloe what happened, though Chloe quickly figured it out.

While interviewing Lex Luthor at his mansion, Clark and Chloe encountered thieves who used kryptonite tattoos to enable them to walk through walls. They threw Chloe out of the window, but Clark was unable to save her. She suffered a broken arm, concussion and bruises, requiring an extended hospital stay.

Beginning with an assignment to write a biography about a classmate, Chloe attempted to uncover information about Clark's adoption. She shared with Clark what she learned- that Clark's was in fact the only adoption handled by a company called Metropolis United Charities. He was horrified by her investigations and she promised to stop. However, she broke her promise and continued her investigation in secret.

When Chloe met Ryan James, he read her mind and told Clark that Chloe wanted him to ask her to the Spring Formal. Clark ran for Class President his freshman year: he was disappointed when Chloe and the *Torch* backed his opponent for the job, but understood that Chloe's journalistic integrity would sometimes take precedence over their friendship.

Chloe began a relationship with Justin Gaines and believing Clark to be jealous, was not willing to explore the possibility that Justin was a murderer until it was almost too late.

At the end of her freshman year, Chloe traveled to Metropolis to interview for an internship at the Daily Planet. However, before she left, she was kidnapped and buried alive in a glass coffin by a serial killer, a local police officer. Fortunately, Lana had just developed the ability to see through Chloe's would-be killer's eyes- the two had been close to each other when an explosion took place that scattered kryptonite around the area, resulting in them acquiring an amplified form of a believed psychological condition where people who endured similar experiences during the London Blitz developed a similar 'link' to each other- and thus, she and Clark were able to save Chloe in time. Chloe missed her interview, but won the internship after all with a composition about her experience.

Clark did indeed ask Chloe to the Spring Formal and she was really excited about it. Chloe gave her best to ensure that everything goes well in her date with Clark, but when his father told her the possibility of moving back to Metropolis due to the LuthorCorp Plant closure, she said to Clark her fear about that Clark would forget all about her for Lana once she was no longer in town. However, Clark assures her that this would not happen and at the dance, Chloe's perfect evening was interrupted by a series of tornadoes and much to Chloe's dismay, Clark disappeared from the dance to go save Lana, fulfilling in this way Chloe´s fear of being abandoned by Clark.

### Season Two

Knowing that Clark left her at the Spring Formal to rescue Lana, Chloe offered to go back to being just friends and Clark agreed. She later was ready to delete the picture she had of the dance, but decided to keep it saved. Then, Chloe spent her summer as an intern at the Daily Planet in Metropolis.

Chloe would briefly get over Clark as she met a guy named Ron Black at the Daily Planet during her internship. With a little help from Pete and Lex, she aided Ron on an article he was working on. To her disappointment, Ron was married as he introduced her to his wife, Renya.

After returning from their summer vacation, Chloe was still hurt by what Clark had done to her. She tried to put Clark´s jealousy, talking about an affair she had during the summer and making him into believing that she had moved on their relationship, but in really, Chloe was jealous of the growing relationship that had arisen between Lana and Clark during her absence.

Chloe discovered that the class rings they all received that year contained red meteor rock instead of rubies, but she did not connect the ring to Clark's uncharacteristic behavior. Chloe resumed her friendship with Clark after all and continued helping him investigate the strange events occurring around Smallville.

When Rachel Dunleavy came to town claiming to be Clark's biological mother, Clark learned that Chloe did not stop investigating his adoption. They had an intense argument over this breach of privacy that ended with tears on Chloe's part and almost ended their friendship. However, Lana acted as peace-maker between the two friends and they apologized to each other eventually.

When Clark suspected that Ian Randall was dating both Chloe and Lana simultaneously and tried to warn them, Chloe believed Clark was only jealous and dismissed him. The event caused Lana, Clark and Chloe to come to an agreement to attempt to resolve the awkwardness between the three.

Around this time, Lana's aunt moved to Metropolis. Chloe convinced her father to let Lana live with them so that she could remain in Smallville. They cultivated a sister-like friendship, despite their issues with Clark.

While exploring the Kawatche Caves, Pete and Chloe got infected with a parasite that caused them to do impulsive things. Pete slipped red kryptonite to Clark so he would join in and Clark revealed his powers to Chloe. On Chloe's suggestion, an affected Chloe and Clark made out at The Talon, prompting Lana to become disgusted with both of them. However, when Clark snapped out of it, Chloe got upset and declared that she was tired of being second fiddle to Lana and she and Pete left without Clark to go find more thrills. Clark had to save the two from driving their car off a cliff. When they were cured of the parasite, they did not remember anything that happened. However, the damage was already done to Lana's and Clark's budding relationship.

When Clark became infected with kryptonite spores, Chloe (in her new red Volkswagen Beetle convertible) went to visit him at home. While he was unconscious, she read him an emotional, heartfelt letter detailing her feelings for him. However, Clark muttered *Lana's* name in his sleep and Chloe left heartbroken. Lana later discovered the letter, but she did not bring up the subject.

Lana and Chloe got in a fight when she caught Lana viewing her personal files on her computer- photographs of her and Clark's Spring Formal night. Lana profusely apologized, but Chloe accused Lana of snooping and feeling sorry for her. However, she accepted Lana's apology and when asked to make a family tree for school, Chloe chose to include Lana as her "sister," stating that her family tree should contain people who love her, not people who aren't there.

Chloe was directly responsible for connecting Virgil Swann with Clark by publishing a photograph of the Kryptonian symbol that Clark inadvertently burned into the side of the Kent barn. Dr. Swann contacted Clark by spamming Chloe's email box with repeated messages for Clark. At first, Clark was upset with Chloe for inviting investigation into his life again, but he softened when he learned that Dr. Swann might possess information about his origins.

Towards the end of sophomore year, an estrangement developed between Clark and Chloe. Clark forgot to write an article for the *Torch* because he was doing a favor for Lana. Chloe accused him of never being there when she needed him and he accused her of acting as if he was cheating on her whenever he was around Lana. She denied this and the bitter argument that ensued caused both of them to take a break from their friendship.

Later on, the *Torch* office was severely vandalized, leaving Chloe devastated. She was approached by Lionel Luthor, who was becoming increasingly obsessed with the mysterious circumstances surrounding Clark Kent. Lionel offered to restore the *Torch* office and also offered Chloe a job at the *Daily Planet* - her own column, entitled "Sullivan's Travels." Although he kept his promise and repaired the office damage, Chloe turned him down when she realized he also wanted her to investigate Clark.

Although Chloe and Clark were mending their broken friendship, at the same time Clark and Lana began a romantic relationship at her backs. Both were hesitant to reveal their new status to Chloe and when Chloe found eventually out on her own, she was furious and heartbroken.

Very hurt by the treachery of her friends, Chloe kept secret what she knew to see how far they could reach with their lie and finally broke down and confronted Clark about dating Lana. Clark was too distracted with Jor-El's warning to put any effort into the confrontation, so Chloe ended their friendship again and angrily storms away. Also, rather than warn Clark against Lionel as she initially planned, Chloe accepted Lionel's deal, agreeing to investigate Clark in exchange for the job at the Daily Planet.

### Season Three

The summer before their junior year, Clark ran away to Metropolis and took on the name "Kal." Working in Metropolis at the *Daily Planet*, Chloe accidentally ran into him at a dance club but promised not to reveal where he was, mostly because he threatened her. She approached him again and pleaded with him to come home, but Kal reacted violently and dangerously. She told Lana where Clark was and Lana got upset with her for keeping it a secret.

Chloe continued helping Lionel and researching on Clark. However, when her computer hard disk with metahuman information fell into the hands of a sociopath student who hunted meteor-infected people, including Clark and Lex, Chloe began to realize that maybe his research was really dangerous and attempted to delete the database from her computer, but was unable to. Lionel told her that the computers and their contents are property of the LuthorCorp Foundation and revealed to her his interest in Metahumans in general. He threatened her to never investigate a member of his family again.

During this time, Perry White came to Smallville and asked Clark to take him to meet the editor of the Torch who had "a reputation among the bug-eyed monster circles." Chloe was eager to talk about her Wall of Weird until she learned that Perry was working for X-Styles. Her interest was renewed when she realized that he was Perry White: multiple Pulitzer-nominated journalist extraordinaire.

Chloe saw a possible way out of her situation when Clark asked her help to investigate the truth about a mystery involving Lex´s grandfather and Lana´s great aunt and discovered that Lionel probably killed his parents to claim the insurance. Despite questioning Lex on this matter, Chloe could not get better results so she went on her own in the investigation.

Later, Chloe's deal with Lionel was discovered by Lex after he found out that she had been researching into the murder of Lionel´s parents. He warned Chloe about his father and after Chloe found the office of the Torch ransacked, Lex enlisted her help to try and bring down his father.

When Lionel discovered Lex and Chloe's attempt at bringing him down, he accused Lex of insanity and submitted him to a radical electroshock therapy that made him forget his deal with Chloe and what they found out about Lionel's conspiracy to kill his parents.

Lionel demanded another report on Clark Kent and reminded Chloe that Lex couldn't help her anymore. She became very scared and after Clark, using his newly acquired super-hearing, accidentally overheard the telephone conversation between her and Lionel, she assured him that she didn't tell Lionel anything he didn't already know and pleaded for forgiveness, but Clark did not accept her apology and their friendship was tenuous for a time.

Chloe kept her promise and stopped investigating him. When she didn't comply, Lionel canceled her Daily Planet column and made Lex fire her father from his job.

When Molly Grigs, working at the Summerholt Institute, attempted to prevent Chloe from writing a planned exposé about Lawrence Garner, she sent out hypnotic emails to Chloe's friends. Clark and Lana each attempted to kill Chloe and she took refuge in Lex's mansion. Later, Chloe confessed to Clark that maybe she deserved it and Clark decided that if Chloe forgave him for trying to kill her, he could forgive her for investigating his past. He gave her a second chance because she gave him one when he once made a bad choice at a moment of weakness. He told her that he knows things won't make sense or add up about him: she told Clark that she realizes he'll tell her his secret when he's ready.

When Chloe saw Adam Knight injecting something into his arm, she went to his apartment to snoop around and found a vial of clear liquid. She then found the opportunity to work with Lex again as the two tried to protect Lana and discover the truth about Adam, although Lex warned Lana to stay away.

Chloe continued her friendship with Clark, helping him to investigate Pete's troubles with some street racers, trying to discover the truth about Clark's new obsessive girlfriend and even unknowingly tracking clues about a mysterious project that returned people to life.

When Chloe investigated the serum that she found in Adam's apartment, she found that it contained platelets unlike anything human or animal. As she reported this to Lex, she asked him to interview Lia Teng, a professor of molecular biology at Metropolis University who was visiting Adam before he came to Smallville.

After Clark received a phone call from the future in which Adam kills Lana, Chloe helped to protect her and was confronted by Adam when he wanted to know where she was. He used Chloe to blackmail Lana and later knocked Chloe out.

When Chloe was exposed to a kryptonite-based truth agent at LuthorCorp, she momentarily obtained the ability to make anyone tell her the truth, except for Clark, but she threatened to discover his secret. Chloe tore through Smallville making Lex, Martha, Lana, as well as others tell her their private thoughts and in the process, set off an avalanche of unfortunate events. Chloe found the perfect opportunity to take down Lionel and tried to record Lionel confessing to killing his parents in order to blackmail him into hiring her father back: Lionel, however, later hacked her voice-mail and deleted his confession.

After discovering that Pete was in love with her for years, Chloe was the first to learn that Pete's parents were separated and gave him her support. She also tried to help Lana when her financial aid from the Paris School of Arts was turned down, offering with her father to buy the Talon for the money, but Lana declined the offer. When Lana mysteriously disappeared days before her trip to Paris, Chloe helped Clark to find her.

Chloe told Lex what happened with Lionel during all that time and in a second partnership with Lex, the data of Lionel's confession was retrieved and a transcript was made.

Before going to testify against Lionel, Chloe helped Jonathan Kent investigate a girl who stalked Clark. Chloe and her father were taken to a witness-protection safe house. However, moments after stepping in the door, the house was blown up by an explosion and Chloe was presumed dead.

### Season Four

Chloe's cousin Lois Lane arrived in Smallville to find out the truth about her death. She and Clark began investigating Chloe's apparent murder, but discovered that she was actually alive. Lex told Clark how he saved her and her father from the blast and faked their deaths to prevent Lionel from finding them. Lionel's assassin, Trent MacGowen, found her but failed to kill her due to the combined efforts of Clark and Lois. Her testimony and voice-mail confession helped convict Lionel of the murder of his parents, landing him in prison.

When she drank a sports drink laced with a kryptonite-enhanced love potion, Chloe was transformed into an overactive devotee to Clark Kent. She joined the cheerleading squad and professed her love for him, showing up in his loft wearing only his football jersey. When her sensibilities were restored, Clark reluctantly told her that he did not have romantic feelings for her, but the two remained friends.

Chloe continued her research about the strange events surrounding Smallville but also had to contend with the latent threat of Lionel Luthor. When Lionel switches bodies with Clark, he humiliated her. Lionel (in Clark's body) leaned in to kiss Chloe, but pulled back at the last second and whispered instead, "Don't you wish,", before sauntering off. Chloe nearly burst into tears and this caused another rift in her friendship with Clark.

Her anger with Clark did not last long and when she was drawn into an underground gambling ring at school run by foreign exchange student Mikhail Mxyzptlk, she went to Clark for help.

On her eighteenth birthday, Chloe was possessed by a 17th Century witch, Madelyn Hibbins. With Lana and Lois (also possessed by witches), she joined a wild party and stripped Clark of his powers. When he recovered his powers, all three girls were restored to normal.

Around this time, Chloe began to seriously suspect that something was different about Clark. However, instead of meddling or investigating as a younger Chloe might have done, she simply stepped back and hoped Clark would come clean.

Chloe confided in Clark, revealing to him that she had found her mother in a mental hospital three months ago, being treated for a hereditary mental illness, which Chloe feared she could one day inherit. She emphasized that she felt much better having shared her secret with someone.

Shortly after, Chloe truly learned of Clark's powers from a "demonstration" arranged by Alicia Baker, in which she saw Clark catch a car, then super-speed away unknowingly revealing his super-strength and super-speed. She believed Clark to be a meteor freak from the meteor shower, like Alicia. Upon the advice of Lois, Chloe didn't tell Clark she knew his secret and continued to be the same good friend she always had been. However, she frequently dropped subtle hints urging Clark to tell her.

Once Chloe had discovered the secret of her best friend, she became his best ally, although he was often unaware of this. She became fiercely loyal to him and began making excuses to cover up his mysterious disappearances. Gradually, Chloe was discovering in secret the rest of Clark's powers while continued to support him in his research about the Stones of Power.

Chloe was reluctantly nominated as a candidate for Prom Queen their senior year and her main competition was Dawn Stiles, the most popular girl in school. The night of the Prom, Dawn was seriously injured in a car accident, but her spirit remained behind, jumping from body to body. When Chloe won, Dawn possessed Chloe and attempted to burn down the school. When Clark tried to stop her, Dawn jumped into him and as Jonathan had to use Kryptonite to subdue her spirit and free Clark, Chloe discovered that Clark was vulnerable to the meteor rock.

After Clark was struck with total amnesia, Chloe found herself teaching Clark about his own powers and learning about the ones of which she was not yet aware. She told him that she believed he was a metahuman and that she had known about his secret without him telling her, instead trusting that he would confide in her on his own time. When Clark regained his memory, he asked what he had done during the time and Chloe simply told him he did one thing differently- he trusted her. She again left it open for Clark to tell her himself.

Shortly before finishing the school year, Chloe was kidnapped by a meteor-infected colleague, Brendan Nash, who was obsessed with school. Nash kidnapped students from the yearbook's "most likely" list, imprisoning them in a warehouse simulated to look like Smallville High. This included Lana and other Smallville High students. Their mysterious disappearances brought Clark and Lois to search for Chloe and Lana, finally freeing them along with the other hostages still alive. That was when Chloe finally said goodbye to her years at The Torch and sadly closed the office door.

Chloe's graduation ceremony was interrupted when the military announced a second meteor shower on its way to Smallville. She later discovered a kryptonite-weakened Clark in Lex Luthor's walk-in safe and pulled him to safety. When Lex found her in his office, he dragged her forcibly to the Kawatche Caves and demanded she give him answers. There, Chloe knocked him down and watched as Clark entered a chamber that mysteriously opened in the far wall.

### Season Five

Chloe and Clark were transported to the Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic and unable to withstand the sub-zero temperatures, she called out to Clark, who begged to interrupt his training to save her life. Clark took Chloe to a hospital in the Yukon and Chloe finally told Clark that she knew his secret and Clark told her that he is an alien. She became his confidante, promising to never be the "iceberg to his Titanic." Later, Lex located her and took her back to Smallville.

After Jor-El stripped Clark of his powers and Clark became mortal and when Clark's family was held hostage by deranged Metahumans, the now mortal Clark turned to Chloe's resourcefulness and cleverness. Together, they retrieved a kryptonite serum from Level Three at LuthorCorp plant without his abilities.

After Gabriel Duncan, attempted to blow up Smallville with a nuclear missile and begged her to leave town so that she could survive, she and Clark confronted Gabriel, who shot and killed Clark and took Chloe to his bunker for safety. However, Jor-El brought Clark back to life and restored his powers and he stopped the missile from landing. Clark's death and resurrection was not without a price. Clark returned to his former life of keeping secrets. Chloe urged him to tell Lana the truth, but he did not take her advice.

Chloe moved into the Metropolis University dorms and scared her first roommate away with a mini version of the Wall of Weird. Lana became her new roommate after applying for late acceptance. Chloe became one step closer to her dream job of editor of the Daily Planet when she wrote a paper detailing her experiences with a vampire sorority.

Shortly after, Lionel Luthor approached her again and fed her inside information on the true identity of Milton Fine, as well as Lex's campaign for the Kansas State Senate.

Chloe went undercover along with Lois to the Windgate Club to investigate the murder of stripper Melissa Paige and then she wrote a story and obtained her first byline, which Lois and Clark applauded her for.

Chloe revealed to Martha and Jonathan Kent that she knew of Clark's abilities as she helped them to
deal with Clark when he began to act differently because of being infected with Silver-K and finally reassures Clark that she would never betray him and reveal his secret.

Lois then enlisted Chloe's help in digging up information on Lex to defeat him in the election. She broke into Warehouse 15 and witnessed Professor Fine form himself from the ship. She realized that Fine was duping Clark and followed them to the Fortress of Solitude. Fine overpowered Clark with kryptonite and opened the portal to welcome General Zod back to Earth. Chloe removed the Green K and Clark was able to defeat Fine and prevent Zod's return.

After Jonathan passed away, Martha told Chloe that she was glad she was not the only person carrying such a burden, saying that Clark was lucky to have Chloe as a friend. Chloe helped Clark work through his grief over the death of his father by helping him search for the Angel of Vengeance in Metropolis.

Chloe was seemingly driven to suicide and was treated by a psychiatrist, Dr. Sydell. She insisted that she did not try to kill herself, but no one believed her except Clark. When she began to hallucinate a vision of murdered girl, Gretchen Winters, Lana asked Lex to transfer her to Belle Reve for better care. However, Clark rescued her and took her to Lois' apartment, where the murdered girl possessed her to exact revenge on her murderer. Back to normal, Chloe had to face her anxiety over her mother's mental illness and with Clark's encouragement, went to visit her for the first time.

Chloe and Lois discovered that Clark's new girlfriend Simone had the ability to hypnotize people with an exotic amulet. At Simone's request, Clark almost killed Lex, but Chloe was able to stop him. After they broke up, Clark frequently asked Chloe about Lana's well-being until Chloe told him that she would rather not be in the middle.

However, Chloe was forced to tell Clark that Lana had become addicted to a mysterious drug. She helped him track Lana down and he was able to save her. She also gave Clark Fine's recent whereabouts, information given to her by Lionel Luthor.

Chloe was the first to discover what was happening between Lex and Lana and was shocked. Chloe and Lana had a fight when she questioned Lana's growing relationship with Lex. Both Lana and Lex responded to her questions with indignation, telling her to mind her own business.

When Clark discovered the relationship, he became angry at her too, saying she betrayed him. Chloe stood up for herself, telling Clark that Lana can date whomever she chooses and suggesting he finally get over Lana. He later apologized when he realized that she was just being a good friend for keeping Lana's confidence.

Chloe, Lois, and Martha gave Clark a surprise birthday party the same night he saw the spirit of his dead father, who instructed him to kill Lionel Luthor.

Chloe went to check Martha at the hospital and there, Martha asked Chloe why she leaves Clark's side. They both agreed that leaving Clark had been for the best, but that they should now stay with him for support due the VRA. After helping Lois in her campaign to overthrow the VRA, Chloe went to the Kent Farm to watch the VRA announcement and shared in the celebration when the act was repealed.

With the VRA rejected, Chloe and Oliver decided to go out on an anniversary date at the Ace of Clubs but had troubles because of their identities. While using another couple's surname to get an already reserved table, Chloe and Oliver became embroiled in a mystery involving the darkness that ended in Chloe being kidnapped by Desaad. She was confronted with hallucinations of the Deadly Sins and unfulfilled dreams, but bravely resisted. After being rescued by Clark, Chloe revealed to Oliver that she regretted erasing her identity and felt lost, especially when she looked back on the person she was in high school.

After getting magically drunk at the engagement party of Clark and Lois, Chloe found the part of a marriage certificate with her name on it and mistakenly thought that she had married Clark. After solve the mystery, she met Clark in the barn and informed him that she was once again leaving Smallville because she had discovered what she wanted done with her life: return to journalism and find more heroes and inspire them to reach their full potential.
She said she was moving to Star City and after one last reunion with the group in the Watchtower, Chloe snuck away to leave but was stopped by Oliver, who revealed that it was in fact him that she married the night before. Chloe then left to start her new life, with her husband, Oliver, by her side.

In Star City, Chloe moved with Oliver and the two began living together, mixing in their apartment her geek chic and Oliver's hero green predilection.

Chloe returned to Smallville to be present at the wedding of Clark and Lois and was concerned about the recent actions of Lois, who showed no interest in marrying. Following the advice of Oliver, Chloe went to the Daily Planet to talk to her cousin to encourage her to continue with the wedding, and after an emotional conversation in which Lois was firm in her position. Chloe, really upset by her cousin behavior, gave Clark's vows to Lois for her to read. After Lois read the vows, Chloe was joyous that words and actions worked as she Lois' positions over the matter changed.

The wedding took place, and Chloe was with joy as her cousin and her best friend walked together down the aisle. During the ceremony, the ring that Oliver had shown her earlier drew Chloe's attention because something about it was different. She began to sense that something was not right. Chloe noticed that the ring grew brighter as it approached Clark's finger, which she then realized it was made of gold kryptonite. In a panic, Chloe intercepted the ring before Lois could place it upon Clark and saw in horror as Oliver revealed he was possessed by the darkness. With the help of Lois, Chloe drove everyone outside the chapel as a battle between Clark and a possessed Oliver began.

After Clark managed to save Oliver, Chloe met with him at the Kent Farm to began investigating the coming Apokolips. With the Watchtower systems out of service, Chloe told her friends she needed to return to Star City to use the equipment and database at her house to investigate more and call the other team members. She gave Clark a hug and left him with a puzzling line.
