7.17 Revolt by TW and KK Part XVII

as retold by RepairmanBob

(Cast is talking over each other)
AM: What the hell did you do?
MR: Lex has Chloe-bots?
ED: What is going on?
JG: We are going to get sued again!
MR: Lex has Chloe-bots!
AM: What the fuck, Kristin?
JG: I refuse to be held legally responsible for this!
MR: Lex has fucking Chloe-bots!! (Stands up, starts to dance)
TW: SHUT UP!!
(Everyone looks at TW with shocked expressions)
TW: John, we are not going to get sued.
JG: Says you.
TW: Erica, you are supposed to be confused.
ED: Oh, good.
KK: (mutters) Well, no more than usual.
TW: Allison and Michael, if you just wait a minute –
AM: No! I am tired to trusting you two! Super powers are great, but they do not get Chloe –
KK + ED + JG + AoT + TW + AM: Back into the Daily Planet.
KK: Annette, if Allison says the Daily Planet one more time before the end of this scene, can you punch her?
AM: Hey!
AoT: We already have a deal in place for your protection, dear.
KK: I will add another Martha scene. She will be arguing with other Senators about meta-human rights.
TW: Another Martha scene? We don’t even have a closing scene for Clark!
KK: Are you saying we have too much Martha this week, Tom?
AoT: (Cracks knuckles)
JG: (To MR) And this is why you do not write episodes with Kristin.
MR: Word. (MR and JG tap fists)
AoT: You have a deal, Kristin.
AM: Grrrrr.
KK: Chloe speaks with a surprisingly pleasant voice, a contrast to her body language and glowing eyes. "Did I ever tell you imagined what our children might look like, Lex?"
TW: Lex presses a button on his desk. "No."
KK: "I guess every eighteen year old girl thinks about it, when she is lying in the arms of the man she loves." A brown-haired boy in a school uniform appears, next to a small, red haired girl. "Would they have your eyes? My mouth? Would they love me?" The children disappear, and Chloe’s tone shifts to faked excitement. "I was so happy when I woke up and realized we did have children!" She gestures to the Spartans. "It was like a dream come true!"
TW: "You don’t understand –"
KK: Chloe voice becomes sharp, dripping with scorn. "Of course, in this version of the story, Prince Philip drugs Sleeping Beauty, rapes her, and turns their children into soulless killing machines. Not exactly Disney friendly material."
JG: Damn. This is fucked up.
TW: Lex stands up. "Please, let me explain."
KK: Chloe looks pissed. "Explain how you lied to me? Explain how you used me? Explain how you betrayed me?"
TW: Lex looks a little sad. "You are not Chloe Sullivan."
AM: WHAT?!?
TW: "Chloe died while trying to be cured of her meta-human abilities. You are just a malfunctioning clone."
AM: You killed me again, you bitch!
(AM leaps at KK, only to be clotheslines by AoT)
AoT: (Picks AM up, puts her back in seat) Sorry, dear.
TW: "You are confused because your programming was not complete. If you just come back with me to Vault Black, we can clear all of this up." Lex smiles and reaches out to Chloe. "I can help you."
KK: Chloe teleports next to Lex. "Nice try, lover." Chloe kisses Lex, and the screen shifts back to Vault Black, just before Brainiac showed the film that caused Chloe to have a breakdown. Chloe does a voice over. "It is amazing what people video tape today. Weddings, funerals… human experimentation on loved ones." The camera starts facing Chloe, then shifts behind her to show the screen. It opens with Chloe mid-vivisection. Her rip cage is split open, and Dr. Richards, Lex and a team of scientists are cutting into her. The image shows a few nasty surgical scenes, all supervised by Lex.
ED: How in the hell do you expect to get that past the censors?
JG: The CW has censors?
ED: Point.
KK: "I saw why you decided to start our happy family." Lex is facing Dr. Richards in Vault Black. An unconscious, healed Chloe is lying in the birthing pool.
TW: "What do you mean it is not working?"
KK: "We have takes tissue samples from every part of her body. We have removed and examined every major organ, including her heart. Twice. We cannot isolate is Subject C36’s ability to absorb or maintain meta-human abilities."
TW: "Which makes her useless as a way to improve the Project Ares Soldiers." Lex looks frustrated, and suddenly his eyes light up. "I know what to do."
KK: The video cuts to what looks like a newborn infant in one of the birthing pools. "They grow up so quickly, don’t they Lex?" The infant rapid ages, until it looks like a sixteen year-old Chloe. "I always wanted a big family." The video shifts back to show multiple birthing pools, with different aged girls in them.
MR: Lex was growing his own Chloes?
KK: I call them Chlones.
ED: OK, that is just gross.
AM: How is this not going to get us sued by Ron again?
MR: I am not sure if this is really cool or really sick.
JG: A little of each, I would say.
KK: "Of course, it was always nice to know you cared." The video shifts to Lex, sitting alone next to Chloe’s birthing pool.
TW: Lex looks down at her sadly. "I am sorry, Chloe. I… I never wanted this." Lex looks like he is trying to convince himself of something. "What I want… what we want is meaningless. We have to think of the world. People will live because of you, Chloe. People will be safe." Lex puts his head in his hands, and his shoulders start to shake. "It has to be this way."
JG: Great, Lex is crying again.
KK: "How sweet." The image disappears, and we are back in the study. Chloe teleports into one of the chairs facing Lex’s desk.
TW: Lex staggers back. "How did you…"
KK: "An old friend of your showed me the home movies. Remember Milton Fine?"
TW: "Fine?"
KK: "He’s dead. But let’s talk about us, Lex."
TW: Lex sits down. "I assume you are here to threaten me, or gain some kind of revenge. How predictable." Lex looks past Chloe to the Spartans. "Spartans - command Gamma Seven. Neutralize Subject C36 and return her to captivity."
KK: The Spartans look at Chloe, who smiles. "It is always sad when children have to choose between their parents. Don't bother with the auto destruct sequence, either."
TW: "It does not matter. This room has been filled with an aerosol version of Salvation and a mild tranquilizer." Lex smiles. "You will be back in Vault Black within the hour."
MR: Yes!
KK: Chloe gestures, and the air in the room spins and swirls, until an orange cloud solidified in front of her. "Oh, Lex. Did you ever wonder why Dr. Richards used alien technology to keep me under control?" Her voice drops. "I Am Salvation." Chloe gestures again, and the orange cloud bursts into flames. She stands, puts her hands on Lex's desk and looks him directly in the eye. Close up of Chloe. "And you, Lex Luthor, are going to help me save the world." And cut to the credits.
