Disclaimer: Smallville and Supernatural and its characters aren’t mine. I only write fan fiction for fun and entertainment.
A/N: I know that this chapter is shorter... and has not so much chlean, yet again in it... but I wanted to show why she’ll end up alone with Dean on other story hunts... and besides, this is my story so I can make it as boring as I want to...!

Chloe’s interest in the weird and unexplained isn’t just centred on Smallville. She sometimes makes weekend trips just so she can investigate strange happenings in their surrounding towns as well.
Her father isn’t really happy about that, but he told her that she was clever enough to know when to run, and when to stick it up. So the only thing he does is give her a gun and tell her to use it when she is in trouble.
She looks at him doubtfully...

The first few times, Clark and Pete accompanied her. She has a knack for getting into trouble. Even if she’s not around the Talon or high-school... So Clark is there and saves her, while Pete comments on how he saw that coming.
They’re a great team at first.
Clark is the muscles, Chloe the brain, and Pete is just in for the ride. They even have fun.
It doesn’t stay that way.

It all starts to fall apart when Lois came to Smallville. She got cast off from Metropolis, abandoned and left, as she puts it. Ok, so she might have not been left, more like she couldn’t take the Generals constant nagging where she was concerned and then just skipped out on him.
It turns out that Lois is an even bigger danger magnet in Smallville than Chloe could ever be. She finds trouble even without looking for it. Where Chloe got into trouble because she investigated her schoolmates and teachers, Lois just stumbles into the weirdest situations without really trying.
Soon Clark stops coming with her to her out-of-Smallville-investigations, and starts to play babysitter for Lois 24-7. And she doesn’t really mean it in a mean way, musses Chloe, she’s just disappointed because her team of three decreased to a team of two.
At least Pete is still with her.

“I’m just saying, Chloe... If I was a reporter, I’d go look for stories that people want to read about!”
“Like what? Dogs and cats?” she asked amused.
“Well, no... more like basketball and football... I mean I don’t see the importance going to a town just because you read that they had heart attacks there or something.”
“Pete, four heart attacks in the last two months.”
“So, your point?”
“That’s not normal!”

On one of her investigations she meets a guy called Oz Hendrics. A totally cute freelance reporter. Or at least that’s what he says. Yeah right!
Pete is in the car, waiting for her, while she asks the local sheriff about the strange disappearances around an old abundant house. No one takes her serious, except for the reporter...
When the sheriff just ignores them, and shushes them away, they decide to swap information. She can see that he is only giving her useless information, so she does the same. Chloe, after all, doesn’t want him to get the story before she does.

By night, Pete is just about ready to blow up on her. But she’s sure that she’ll get a break through. She just needs more time. ... She wants this story solved, and she wants to know what ever happened to the people.
But a phone call from her dad tells her that she needs to get her ass home. No arguing about that.
Pete is more than just happy about that.
Before they leave for home, Chloe gives one of the people she questioned about the mysterious disappearances her telephone number, and tells her to call her, in case anything happens.
Two days later she gets a phone call telling her that the people, who had been missing, are back. No one remembers what happened and no one wants to talk to her about it.
--
Pete is still with her. At least for another month. Then he starts to date Lana. Much to the disappointment of Clark. And to hers.
That was the end of her investigative team. Now she is on her own.
--
That was until she met cute freelance reporter Hendrics after three weeks again. Only this time his name is Paul Tyler.
Yeah right!
