The next morning, Chloe was also watching TV from Lex's bed. She was zapping through the channels when Lex walked in with breakfast.
"Good, food!" Chloe exclaimed. "I'm starving!" She started to gobble down her food without paying much attention.
"Chloe, hold one or you're gonna be sick."
"Sorry," she apologized a little embarrassed. "But I'm so hungry."
"That's okay. I think I've always been a little envious of you and Clark because of that."
"Because we're hungry?" Chloe asked confused.
"No… because of your family. You have a wonderful family that loves you …"
"Okay, that's not really related to the previous topic but … go on…"
"My father never loved me, not for a minute. Especially after what happened with Julian," Lex started to pick things up and throw them at the wall,. "I just hate this!"
"Lex, calm down!"
"Calm down? How can I be calm, Chloe?" Lex asked very angry. "How?"
"I don't know Lex…. But you're scaring me… you have to…"
"What Chloe?" Lex asked her heatedly. "WHAT?"
"Are you okay Lex?" Chloe asked. "You aren't yourself."
Suddenly, Chloe felt a force flow out of her body. She blinked then realized she was at Lex's mansion.
"Lex?" she looked at him suspiciously. "What's going on?"
"You don't remember?" Lex inquired.
"No, what am I doing half naked in your room?" Chloe asked then suddenly realized what had happened between them. "Uh, uh," she looked around trying to find her scattered clothing and started to get dressed. "Lex, are you okay?" she asked noticing his odd demeanor.
But before he could answer anything, Lex disappears. Chloe changed her clothes and borrowed one of Lex's cars and drove back to the Talon. "Clark will fix this. I'm sure he will."
"And you can fly?" Lois asked in disbelief. "Clark, would you stop with this game? I'm tired already. You starting to annoy me with this "I'm Hercules" game."
"You don't believe me? I can prove it!" Clark claimed as he ran over to the window and began to open it.
"Clark, are you crazy?" Lois cried worriedly. "Get away from there!"
"No, you must see!"
"See what? Okay, I believe you, you can fly, now get away from there!" she asked pulling him back from the window.
"Do you believe I can do anything I want?" Clark teased her. "Anything?"
"I do. I do. You are a superman!" she grinned at him, still trying to pull him away from the window. "Now come back to bed or you'll hurt yourself."
Lois felt a blue light hit her body and suddenly she was also free of her sin. "Clark?" she asked surprised to see a half-naked Clark in her bed. "What the hell are you doing here?" She looked down at her body and noticed she was also half-naked. "And what the hell I'm doing naked with you?"
"Come on, Lois. Come here," Clark pulled Lois towards the bed.
"No. Are you drunk?" Lois asked confused. "What is happening here?"
"I think I know what is going on, Lois." Chloe said startling Lois.
"Chloe? Do you know what's happening?"
"Maybe, I found this in Clark's loft," Chloe said showing Lois a paper about the Seven Deadly sins.
"Seven Deadly sins?" Lois chuckled after reading Clark's paper. "Are you kidding me?"
"I don't think so, cuz. We all have the symptoms. You, Ms. Lust, me Gluttony, and meet Captain Pride here. Which means Lex got anger."
"Great, I had to get the worst sin. That explains why I'm … we're naked."
"Actually, I googled the sins, pride is the worst. We have to figure out a way to snap Clark and Lex out of this."
"And Lana, she was with us so she was probably hit too," Lois reminds her.
"Right, she must at Met U by now. She has an astronomy assignment to work on," Chloe said before phone started to ring. "Lana? Are you okay? Really? Really? Okay, I'll talk to you later."
"What?" Lois asked nervously.
"We at least we don't have to worry about her right away. It sounds like Lana was hit by sloth."
"Well Clark needs to be our first priority. He almost jumped out the window!" Lois pointed out. "Wait a minute? How did you get rid of your sin?"
"I think it was a selfless act. I was worried when Lex started to act violent. And you?"
"Pretty much the same, Clark was trying to prove to me he could fly so I was worried about him. So, it's a selfless act that frees us from the sin."
"Great, now we have to figure out a way to help Clark and Lex or … where's Clark?"
To Chloe and Lois' surprise, Clark had vanished for Lois' bed. "Great, we have to find him before he hurts himself…"
"Okay, we'll split up. You look for Clark and I'll look for Lex," Chloe suggested before Lois stopped her.
"Are you sure? He's violent right now."
"I'm sure. I have to help him, Lois."
"Okay, but be careful," Lois said giving her cousin a hug. "And remember what I taught you if things get out of control."
"I'll will. Thanks, Lois."
