Being a single dad wasn’t very easy. Chloe knew that, because she would always watch her dad, struggle to do the right things, the right choices. She watched as the life-loving man he had always been around her mother, slowly turned into a little less active member of society.
He stopped going out to his usual friends, he even stopped the trips he had always done before, to visit his family... And he became a full time dad.
He even got a full time job at Luthor Corp, something Chloe knew he didn’t really like. But she knew without a doubt, that the reason he did everything was to make sure that she could grow up as normal as possible.
And for that she loved him all the more. It might have been selfish of her to be happy that her father was giving it all up for her, but then she had been only a child, who had lost her mother recently, and was now only left with one parent alive.

Chloe was the best investigative Reporter a high school had. She ran the Torch almost singularly, she could dig up things like no other, and she could make a story even from the most boring things given to her.
What she never found out though, was what her father had been doing before he married her mum and settled down. Funny enough his records before that were mysteriously missing. When she asked her father one day about it, he answered that the small town he originally came from had a great fire that destroyed half the town and many documents.
She wasn’t sure why she didn’t really believe it, but then again, her father was the most harmless person she knew. He couldn’t even harm a fly, and he always swooned as soon as he saw her hurt. So, she tried to believe him, and ignored her father’s lack of a past records.
She never asked about it again.

Her father had always been laid-back in a way. Of course he was worried that one day her investigative work would get her hurt, and not to speak of the times that he’d return home only to find out that Chloe had been once again admitted to a hospital, but he wasn’t the type of father to actively forbid her to hunt down stories of her interest.
Instead, when she had been kidnapped and almost buried alive for certain death, Gabe had a week later, taken her out of Smallville, to some lonely Farm and then taught her how to shoot. He also showed her some moves she’d need for self-defence, in case she ever got face to face with someone who wanted to hurt her again.

“And then you hit him with all your might here!” he pointed at his windpipe. “After that you run away... Get it?”
“Wont I hurt him like that?” asked Chloe a little unsure; she didn’t want to seriously injure someone.
“Look honey, when someone wants to harm you, you think of yourself first!” Gabe noticed that his daughter still didn’t look very convinced so he said, “Alright fine, you hit, you run and after that you call an ambulance... Ok?”
She smiled and nodded.

All the time Chloe always believed that her dad was the most harmless person in the world. He was a mild mannered man, who was friendly with all the people, and was too trusting with others... Naïve in a way.
She should have known better... She had afterall lived in Smallville long enough to know that looks could be deceiving.

The façade cracked when she started dating a man she had met in a story hunt outside of Smallville. Dean Winchester.
