"Why are we here?" Clark asked, frowning as he followed Oliver into the hotel room.

"I told you it's not safe at my place right now. Until we figure this out, we need to stay away from there." Oliver glanced around the room, but he guessed it didn't really matter. If Clark's darker half decided he wanted in, it wouldn't matter if they locked the doors or not.

Oliver fingered the comforting weight of the meteor rock that Chloe had given him. She'd said that it was the only way to keep Clark at bay. He looked over at Clark as he sat down on the bed and bounced a little. He smiled slightly. He'd protect Clark, even if it was from himself.

Oliver had called some of his people already to find what they needed to fix this, but it might take awhile. Clark looked up at him and smiled.

"I'm glad your here." He said. "That other person, he's really..." Clark frowned, like he couldn't come up with the right word for it. Oliver just nodded, though and sat down in one of the chairs.

"Yeah." He said, smiling a little back at Clark.

"I really like you, Ollie." He said after a moment.

"I like you too, Clark." Oliver said, smiling a little wider and sitting back in his chair.

"Good." Clark nodded. "I was so worried about that before." Oliver's smile dropped into a frown at that. He knew what Clark meant, but he seemed not to be worried about anything anymore.

"Why were you worried?" Oliver asked after a moment. "We've been friends, right?" Of course, they'd gotten into a few fights at first, but after what happened with that drug that Oliver had taken, he thought that they had pretty much settled things between them, actually become friends.

"I just really like you." Clark frowned. "I used to get so worried about it. Like with Lana, I guess." Oliver froze at the words, staring at Clark. It took him a minute to find his voice.

"Like with Lana?" He blinked and shook his head. "You know what? We can talk about this after you get some sleep, alright?" Clark nodded, smiling again at him. Oliver watched as Clark laid down on the bed, still a little thrown by the words.

It wasn't as if Clark was himself, though. But he still couldn't help but to think about that and the fact that his darker half had kissed him in his apartment earlier that day.

Letting out a sigh, Oliver got up and walked out to the hotel balcony, staring out at the city. He shouldn't be thinking about this now, not when Clark wasn't even technically here.

"Thinking about me?" Oliver turned at the voice to see Evil!Clark, standing on the edge of the balcony looking entirely to comfortable on the tiny rail. He was still wearing those dark clothes and somehow his eyes even seemed darker than they usually were. Oliver put his hand in his pocket were he had stowed the meteor rock.

He was glad that he had given another to the other version of Clark, sleeping in the other room. Evil!Clark grinned at him, though, and held up a hand before squatting down to make eye contact.
