The day after her wedding, Helen awoke chained to a bed in an unmemorable bedroom, presumably somewhere near Smallville.
A shadow in the hallway drew her attention and she fruitlessly threw the water pitcher at it. She flopped backwards onto the bed, gathering her wits to plan her escape.
In the hallway, Lana congratulated herself. It had been child's play to lure Helen away from the plane, a sick friend who needed the great Dr. Bryce-Luthor's aid.
Soon Helen would realize that straightening her hair wasn't enough to win Lex's heart. Lex belonged to Lana and he always would.
