Confrontation [Facebook verse]

[have_no_mercy]

Tess has barely been back in Kansas when her attention gets pulled in a hundred directions at once. It isn't a while until she realizes she's forgotten one very important thing: Lena's lost barette, probably somewhere at the Kent Farm.

After a call to Clark to make certain the coast is clear, she drives over intent on making a quick search of the property and then heading back to the mansion. Naturally, it would be rude not to say hello so her first stop on arrival is the farmhouse itself, letting herself in the kitchen door.

Tess leans in, as if to impart a secret. "I hate to break it to you - well, no, I don't - but this," she gestures upstairs to where Clark's room is, "wasn't my idea. And again, this isn't your house. You're not in charge here."

"Not your idea but you're taking plenty advantage of it, of Clark's inability to pick someone who will actually be good for him."

And Tess' choice of words isn't helping, but Chloe doesn't pull away, just glares up at the other woman.

"I know what is good for him, same goes to Ollie, and I will get Clark to listen hopefully before you completely break his heart."

"Just like you knew what was best for Davis?" Tess tilts her head down at the blonde. "For Jimmy? I'm not so sure they'd agree."

Chloe's stomach clenchs at her words, at his name. If she was angry before, it just multiplied. Her hands feel shaky even as she lifts it and slaps Tess across the face as hard as she can.

"You have no idea what you're talking about! Get out now!"

Tess blinks and a lifts a hand to her cheek, but as soon as she's regained her composure, she slides off the stool, staring down at Chloe. "You want to throw down? Let's go."

"I want you out of here and out of my life, if that's what it takes..." She trails off, not stepping back, just arching her eyebrows instead. Slapping Tess made her feel better than she had in days.

She scoffs none too softly. "Please." Then without further warning, she backhands Chloe. Hard.
