An unknown limo driver for Bruce Wayne quickly entered on to a freeway ramp and merged into traffic. Soon, the vehicle was doing close to seventy miles per hour.

Lois boldly stared out of the back of the limo window, since all of the car's windows were tinted so passerby's in their cars would not get a peepshow.

She fought desperately to quell the urgings sweeping throughout her body, as she simultaneously rocked and bounced upon Bruce's bulbous penetration, that now felt as if it had swollen between three to four times it's original size. His hands cupped the sides of her breasts firmly, while his cowled head was buried between them.

Lois surrendered to Bruce the moment he pulled her into the limo. The instant he ripped her dress off, seized her by her hips and mounted her onto his enflamed, pulsing root, all of Lois's plans to walk away from Wayne Manor and cut Bruce out of her life, went out of the window-along with her dress. His engorged thickness completely dominated her body and mind as it fluttered deeply within her molten core.

Lois was still riding Bruce's girth, by the time the limo returned to Wayne Manor. When it pulled into a darkened garage, Lois's body was crackling like lightening! Bruce's cowled head lifted from between Lois's breasts and slid down to cup her two, full, round cheeks.

Lois snatched the cowl from off of Bruce's head and their lips met in a hungry kiss that seemed to be never ending, until a tap could be heard on the window. They both knew it was Alfred.

"I have Miss Lois's dress and something for you to wear, Master Wayne." he called out. The sound of Alfred's voice brought reality crashing back in for Lois. Kal-El had asked her to 'pretend' to like Bruce. She would not be able to lie to him about what had happened today, and yet there was a part of her that had found the encounter to be quite exciting. She realized, reluctantly, that it had to be because of the mask. Whatever had made her respond to Bruce in this way, Lois could not let it continue inside the house. Their lovemaking had only stalled a serious talk that they both needed to have with one another.

As Lois and Bruce re-dressed in the car, Lois heard the sound of the front driver's side door, open and close. Footsteps moved towards the inside door.

"Who was that? I've never seen anyone else but Alfred drive you." Lois noted as she ran a hand through her hair.

"He's a young man I've been mentoring." Bruce said casually, as he finished dressing.

"So he helps you by driving the car while you seduce unsuspecting women?" Lois asked, smiling.

"There is nothing about you, Lois, that is 'unsuspecting' about anything." Bruce said, now opening the car door. He got out and reached back in to help Lois out of the car. He then closed the door and pulled on her hand, to lead her into the house.

But Lois pulled her hand from his. Bruce looked at her quizzically.

"What is it?" Bruce asked.

"Bruce, what happened between us just now doesn't solve anything."

"Lois, there is nothing to solve. I need for you to understand why I do what I do."

Lois swallowed, then spoke.

"Why did you buy the Daily Planet? You could have bought a newspaper here in Gotham."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Bruce asked.

"Come on, Bruce. You knew what kind of articles I was writing about Batman. Did you think you could stop the articles if you bought that Daily Planet?"

"Lois...that you could ask me that after what just happened between us. What NEEDED to happen between us, means that I was wrong about..."

"Oh please!" Lois sighed. "What happened between us was a moment. It's over and now we have to deal with what happens next."

"But you do want something TO happen next, correct? This isn't the end because I told you about myself?"

"I don't know. To be honest, Bruce, I've got bigger problems here."

Bruce reached out to touch her shoulders.

"I more than get that, Lois. That was why I wanted to talk to you about seeing Dr. Hamilton. I don't think Kal-El is telling you the truth about this whole thing. Let's have Dr. Hamilton look at you, here, and see if there is another way to get that mark off of you besides giving Kal-El a child that you're not ready for." Bruce said firmly.

At this point, Lois did not like to think about the possibility that Kal-El had lied to her, just to have sex with her. She sensed he had real feelings for her and he had even insisted they be married at one point, back at the Fortress. But she nodded to Bruce.

"Okay. I'll wait for Dr. Hamilton. I'm going to go in and use one of your fifty bathrooms." Lois said, smiling wanly at Bruce, before walking back into the house. Bruce's phone rang and he continued to watch Lois leave before speaking to his caller: Dr. Hamilton.

"Dr. Hamilton. I was just going to call you. I have Lois here at Wayne Manor. I need for you to look at her. When can you come to Gotham City?"

"I am already here." Dr. Hamilton told him. "I am at Wayne Enterprises with another patient of mine-Davis Bloom."

Bruce's eyes widened!

"Is there something you forgot to tell me, Doctor?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne, it could not be helped. And I have been in a horrible quandary. I could not reveal Mr. Bloom's wife's pregnancy, nor could I reveal anything to her, about his condition. He knew I was knowledgeable in Kryptonian medicine and came to me for a cure."

"Which clearly you did not find." Bruce replied.

"Mr. Wayne, I know you have set a trap for my patient. I am asking you to call off the military. I need privacy in a closed setting to try and reverse the drugs Mr. Bloom's Kryptonian parents injected him with, that causes him to become this monstrosity."

Alfred suddenly appeared at the door of the garage looking frazzled!

"Master Wayne! Miss Lane is passed out on the floor of the lower level powder room! I cannot wake her up!"

"Lois has passed out! I want you to leave your 'patient' to the military. He has killed and maimed so there is nothing more that can be done for him. Come over here and find out what is happening to Lois. I will be waiting, Dr. Hamilton!" Bruce said in a warning tone, before hanging up and running into the house to see to Lois.


Dr. Hamilton hung up, unsure of what to do. He was NOT going to just turn Davis over to the military. Maybe if he explained that Davis was under a doctor's care? Maybe he would be allowed to accompany Davis wherever he was taken?

Myron Nygma was conflicted. He liked Davis Bloom and thought his inventions against the Kryptonians were nothing short of brilliant. But he also felt that he should have been upfront about his own illness, if one could call turning into a raging, murdering beast, and actual 'illness', legally. He now feared for himself, lawfully. What if the authorities thought HE knew what Davis Bloom had been this whole time and blamed him in some way?

Meanwhile, Davis sat next to his assistant, unaware of the trap that had been set for him. He knew Mr. Wayne and Dr. Hamilton consulted routinely and assumed he was in a safe place. He looked at Dr. Hamilton.

"Have you heard anything about my wife, Cat? Is she safe? I am just so grateful that I did not hurt her or our child."

"Your wife is pregnant?!" Myron asked incredulously.

Davis looked at Myron.

"Yes and believe me, I am not especially happy about passing on my defect to a child. I don't even know if Cat will understand when she finds out."

Suddenly, the lab wall crashed in and Jor-El, followed by Kal-El stepped in calmly. Myron's eyes grew wide! He could see various guards lying about, seemingly unconscious. Or he hoped they were unconscious! He began to slide towards the Kryptonian weaponry, that they kept in a refrigerated case...

"Mr. Nygma," Jor-El said calmly, "do not take another step towards that case. We mean you no harm. We want Lor-Zod."

Davis stood up.

"I am not one of you. I am not coming with you and..."

"Quiet, you filthy beast!" Kal-El snapped. "We're here to help you. Why, I have no idea. You would have to ask my father."

Jor-El approached Davis.

"Lor-Zod, your mother is staying in my home now. She told me everything. I want to take you someplace where we can look into stopping what is happening to you. But left in the hands of the military, that will never happen. You will probably be killed or cloned for some sort of military destruction."

"Mr. Wayne is on his way to help me." Davis said coolly. Dr. Hamilton felt he had to step in!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bloom, but I don't think he is. I spoke with him on the phone just now and I am conflicted on how to handle this. The military is coming, if they are not making their way into this building right now. And Mr. Wayne is insisting I come to his house to check on another patient." Dr. Hamilton confided.

Kal-El turned to look at him suspiciously.

"Is the elderly butler the patient?" he asked.

"No." Dr. Hamilton said.

Kal-El asked nothing more and turned from him. Jor-El spoke again.

"Let us take you to the Fortress. There, you can recover from what has happened to you in the last day and we can work on reversing the process."

Dr. Hamilton interrupted again.

"I would like to accompany Mr. Bloom to wherever you are taking him. I have been his doctor of record so far and..."

Kal-El turned back to look at him.

"And you have failed. Why should this be allowed?"

Davis now spoke.

"Because I don't trust either of you. You may have discovered how treacherous my father is, but you did accompany him here to this planet to conspire against the people here. Besides, I have to think of my wife and unborn child."

"Kal-El will find out what has happened with your wife. And if necessary, we will keep her safe."

Kal-El rolled his eyes! He had no intention of bothering with this task. He needed to get back to Metropolis and make sure Lois was in good health. They also had to figure out how they would still continue to make love while Chloe was none the wiser.

Dr. Hamilton walked over to Davis as well.

"I trust Jor-El and I will be with you while we search for a cure."

Myron, on the other hand, didn't like any of this! He spotted some military men, sneaking in through the hole the Kryptonians had made into the lab and began yelling!

"IN HERE! IN HERE!" Myron screamed before ducking. Jor-El grabbed Dr. Hamilton and escaped with him, while Lor-Zod and Kal-El made a quick escape as well! Myron Nygma was snatched up by General Lane himself!

"Well, we didn't get who we wanted. But you will answer our questions. The first being where that beast and the Kryptonians escaped to!" he hissed.


Jor-El dropped Dr. Hamilton off at Bruce's home, claiming he would return for him but having no intention of doing so. He did not want anyone else in the Fortress while he searched for a cure for Lor-Zod.

Dr. Hamilton was let in to the manor by a frantic looking Alfred, then quickly escorted to a second floor bedroom, where Lois Lane was. Bruce had carried her from the powder room and up to a guest room. She was lying on the bed, still unconscious. Dr. Hamilton looked her over, then looked up at Bruce and Alfred, who were hovering near the bed.

"Well?" Bruce asked.

"She's not unconscious she's asleep! I've never seen anything like it." Dr. Hamilton admitted. "Did she say anything about what happened during her imprisonment by Kal-El?" he asked, now standing up.

"No." Bruce admitted. "But I have the feeling that Kal-El had his way with her, and even made her believe on some level that he cared for her. I don't know what to think here. One moment she was fine, the next she was like this."

"Where was she? Did she say where Kal-El actually kept her?" Dr. Hamilton asked, checking Lois's vitals.

"Yes. It was a place called 'The Fortress'. A replica of what Krypton actually looks like." Bruce explained.

"Okay, I am totally speculating here. But this mark is the reason Lois is asleep. And this is going to keep happening to her, unless she conceives Kal-El's child."

"What do Kryptonian women do when they don't want to get pregnant?" Alfred asked in wonder. Suddenly, Bruce and Dr. Hamilton looked at Alfred, then at one another.

"Alfred, you might be on to something! Davis said that the weapons he helped create are made from some Kryptonian rocks. He also told me that depending on the type of rock it is, here on Earth it does different things to Kryptonians." Dr. Hamilton confided.

Bruce was not exactly thrilled by the fact that Dr. Hamilton knew more about all of this, than he did. He wondered what else Davis Bloom held back that would bite them in the ass later on?

But he refrained from commenting about it.

"So you think one of these rocks, mixed with our atmosphere and tinkering by yourself..."

"And Davis Bloom. I would need his help." Dr. Hamilton told him.

"Well he's in the hands of the authorities right now. Maybe you could just figure it out? I will give you access to my labs." Bruce said.

But Dr. Hamilton shook his head, then hesitated briefly before speaking.

"There is no good way to tell you this, Mr. Wayne, but Jor-El and Kal-El took off with Davis Bloom before the military arrived. Jor-El dropped me off here."

Bruce's phone rang and when he looked at it, he could see it was General Lane! He hit 'ignore' before focusing on Dr. Hamilton.

"You didn't feel the need to tell me this, when you got here?"

"Master Wayne." Alfred chided, "you made it very clear that Dr. Hamilton was to see to Miss Lane's care. He had no time to tell you."

"Mr. Wayne, Lois needs to go back to the Fortress. It's the only way she can regain her strength and stay awake."

"I'd love to take her there, Doctor, but I don't know where it is!" Bruce snapped, feeling helpless. He moved to sit down on the edge of the bed at Lois's side.

"I do. Davis Bloom took precautions, in case he was killed by another Kryptonian, or the drugs I used on him to try and reverse his metamorphosis, turned out to be fatal. He left me several items that I put into a safety deposit box at a bank in Metropolis. I believe one of those items is the key to the Fortress." Dr. Hamilton said.

Great, Bruce thought, yet another thing Davis Bloom failed to share with him!

"I would need to get back to Metropolis to get the key, then..." Dr. Hamilton began, but Bruce pulled out his phone again and interrupted him.

"I am calling Mr. Queen. He is going to get this 'key' and have it delivered here as quickly as possible. Then we are BOTH going to take Lois to this fortress." Bruce said. He would also have to have a serious talk with General Lane about what was happening to Lois and why it was interfering with the capture of Davis Bloom.
