There’s a flash of light and then sudden darkness that burns brighter than the light and pressure all around her.
That’s the last thing she remembers before she hits the cave walls and passes out.
The next thing she is aware of is the sound of Lex’s voice. It’s distant at first, like he was calling out to her from miles away, but then it came closer and closer until she could tell even with her eyes closed, he was right in front of her.
His hand was gently pressed against her face, she realized a few minutes later, warm almost hot, and that eased her out of the fog she had been lost in more than anything else.
“Lex?” She asks, her eyes blinking open.
She was right; he was hovering over her, his hand still on her cheek as he tried to wake her up completely.
“Chloe, what happened?”
She groaned taking in the sights of fallen rocks around them and the memories of how they had gotten there coming back to her.
“There was a meteor shower.” Chloe tells him.
“Yes, I know that—what happened after that?”
Well, he had dragged her caveman style into actual caves and started demanding answers from her. But she didn’t think that was the answer he was looking for.
“I think I hit my head.” She says, her arm slowly going up to the back of her head. Her limbs were still moving a little slowly but for the most part she seemed alright. Nothing broken, none of the normal signs of concussion.
(There was a slight gash on Lex’s head, smearing blood across his forehead, and maybe she should feel bad.
She didn’t.)
There was no blood when she looks at her hands and Lex looked her over again as well. “You seem fine.” He tells her.
Glancing over at had once been the opening of the caves, Chloe laughs. “I don’t think either of us are fine.”
--
The rocks had come tumbling in. And down. And maybe from underneath for all Chloe knew. All she knew for sure was that the entrance to the caves was now a wall of rocks.
She distantly wondered if there were any meteor rocks mixed in there, new or old, if this would give her and Lex some kind of weird combined power. She almost giggled at the thought and started to wonder about her conclusion about not having a concussion.
She watched silently as Lex tried to clear out some of the rocks, leaving her alone for the time being. He had a slight opening that let in air and sunlight but whenever he moved too many rocks more always seemed to keep tumbling in to take their place. But they still had the opening, if anyone came looking for them.
(Chloe had faith in Lois.
Lex didn’t.)
--
Eventually Lex got too tired and came to rest beside her. Chloe had actually encouraged it, despite everything, because she really didn’t want him to die. She had attempted to get up in the beginning, to help, because God knows she didn’t want to be stuck in their either, but she still felt too drained. Like the light that had hit her had taken part of her with it.
“You have to rest,” Chloe tells Lex as he settles beside her, “Your hit your head, you shouldn’t be moving around this much anyways. And if you pass out, I won’t be any help.”
“Hit my head?” Lex asks turning to look at her, “That’s not how I remember it. I remember you pushing me into one of these walls.”
“I was scared,” Chloe says looking away from him, “You dragged me here in a freaking meteor shower, you were shouting—If you’re looking for an apology, you’re not going to get one.”
“You don’t get scared, Chloe.” Lex says, “You get even; there’s a big difference.”
There was silence after it, but it seemed louder than anything that came before.
