John 1:1-2 problem!

This is John 1:1-2

1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2) He was in the beginning with God.

OK, so The Word is God (John 1:1)

But hang on a minute!

He was "with" God??? (John 1:2)

If he is said to have been "with" God does not that detract from him being God?

Surely these two statements cannot both be true?????

Either he is God or he is with God?

Is there a way out of this?

Edit: I think I've solved...
