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.

Chloe gasps as she hits a knife block and sends it flying as she slides over the counter, she grabs onto the edge of it to stop herself from hitting the floor on the opposite side.

She manages to grab one of the cookbooks behind her back, however and aims for Tess' head, swinging it in her direction.

Tess blocks the book with her forearm and uses her other hand to push Chloe further along - or off - the counter. And those knives are starting to look mighty convenient.

Clark hears the commotion and rushes inside. Yelling over at Oliver to grab Chloe, Clark puts his arms around Tess's waist and hauls her up, not caring if she's kicking and trying to get away. His goal is to stop the fight and move her as far away from Chloe as he can so they can talk about this.

Chloe feels the shove and next thing she knows, she's sliding off the counter and toward the floor in the same direction the knives just fell and even as she tries to stop herself from falling, she can't find anything to reach for now that Tess' hair is no longer close enough.

Oliver moves quickly at Clark's shout and he manages to catch Chloe just before she hits the ground, his arms winding securely around her waist and holding on. He pulls her away from the counter, moving them back toward the back door.

Oh, Tess is kicking all right but deep down she knows there's no getting out of this grip. That doesn't mean she won't keep trying.

"Clark, let me go."

"No." Clark keeps a firm hold on Tess while he checks to make sure Oliver caught Chloe.

"What happened in here?"

Chloe gasps and holds on to Oliver instinctively as soon as he picks her up, taking a deep breath and looking up at him with wide eyes, too distressed to speak for the time being.

Oliver meets her eyes for a moment, and keeps hold of her, checking her over for injuries before looking across the room, his jaw tight.

She's given up trying to dislodge Clark's arm from around her waist and goes back to glaring at Chloe. "She just walked in and started trying to order me around. Then she slapped me."
