The way she wanted it...
Chloe: Lana...I know
that you miss all of us, but something tells me there's
more to your trip back home than simply checking in
with the old gang.
Lana: I actually came back here to find out more
about project Ares.
Chloe: Project Ares ... wasn't that Lex's schemeto genetically enhance
injured soldiers?
Chloe: Lana: Using alien DNA.
Lana, this is all in the past. Lex is out of your life now.
Why don't you just put this behind you and move on?
Lana: I am moving on.
Chloe: Really? Because it seems to me like you're not just
playing with fire, you're stepping
into a raging inferno. Clark should know about this.
Lana: I plan on telling clark when the time is right.
Chloe, i want you to promise me
that you won't say a word. I can take care
of myself now.
Next scene: After six months Lana gets abducted and Chloe comes clean with Clark.
Chloe: All I did was honor
my friend's secret. And now I feel like
this is all my fault.
Clark: That must have been the way she wanted it To make her feel guilty or lying about project Ares?
so she could do what she had to do without anyone
getting in her way... especially me. Did you check on project Ares
after she left?
Chloe: Yeah, it turns out the project
was mothballed (abandoned?)over a year ago

Mothballed = put into long-term storage; put on the back burner; action is suspended, but may be resumed In temperate climates, where temperatures are vastly different in summer and winter, we put our winter clothes into storage during the summer. There are professional services which deal with expensive furs (cold storage), but at home we worry about the moths having a feast on our woolens. So we use lots of mothballs in our special storage areas (paradichlorbenzene) I have no idea if that's spelled correctly.

- The navy uses the term figuratively when an entire fleet of ships is/are put into storage for an indefinite period of time, with special measures taken to prevent deterioration.
- They don't want to scrap the ships (use the material for another purpose) because they may need them again.
