It was almost night when they noticed some police cars that surround the area. Lionel, Jonathan, and Martha were there.

"Lex!" Lionel yelled. "What the hell are you doing here?"

"Lois! Clark! Chloe!" Martha screamed, relieved to see that they were okay. "We were so worried about you."

"What the hell are you doing here?" Lionel asked again, furious. "I thought you were kidnapped."

"We were celebrating Christmas with Lex, Mom," Clark said. "He never had a real one since his mother died."

"And we thought it would be nice to do this as a present to him," Chloe added with a smile.

"This was a fun place to do that," Lois jumped in. "We wanted him to be happy, for a change."

"Oh" Lionel was surprised by the kids' attitude. "I don't know what to say."

"It was wonderful what you did for him, Clark. But you should have called us to tell us where you were. We were worried." Martha hugged him. "But, thank God you are fine."

"I think it's time to go back home," Jonathan reminded them.

"I know, Dad." Clark's smile faded away.

"Wait. You don't need to go now," Lionel interrupted them. "How about we finish this little celebration at my house?"

"In your home?" Jonathan asked, still suspicious. He had never trusted Lionel Luthor since he adopted Clark. "I don't know."

"Please, Mr. Kent. Your kids were wonderful with to my son. At least let me give them ice cream to complete the party," Lionel insisted.

"Please, Dad. Let us go!" Clark pleaded after hearing the words "ice cream".

"Pleaaaaaaaaase!" Lois and Chloe begged in unison.

"All right. If you want to, you can go. I'll tell the girls' fathers that they're with you. I'll get you later, okay?" Jonathan was still worried about Clark's friendship with Lionel's son.

"you don't need to do that Mr. Kent. I'll ask my driver to take them home. You can trust me." Lionel smiled

Jonathan still didn't trust him, but he didn't say anything; he just nodded. "All right. But can you get them home by 10:00?"

"Yes, of course," Lionel answered. "Let's go, kids. Ice cream for everyone."
