Chloe was about to call Davis to warn the other members of the League that they might want to make themselves scarce, when Kal-El arrived, but Kal-El took the phone out of her hands before she could even punch up her brother's number!
"Part of our arrangement is that you are supposed to be helping Kryptonians keep your kind in line. I will be calling for our security force to accompany us. Everyone with the exception of Lois will be arrested." Kal-El told her.
"Give me back my phone! And we never 'agreed' for me to help you arrest people!"
"YOU were the one that offered to help us keep mankind in line. Our detention centers are the way we do it. And I will expect you to use your powers to shrink anyone who tries to get away. And I am specifically thinking of Black Canary. The moment she begins yelling, you shrink her. Do you understand?"
Chloe said nothing but just glared at him. Kal-El sighed impatiently!
"Do you understand me, Chloe?"
"I won't do it. And if you want Lois back to full height, then you'd be better off allowing me to go and do this myself. Alfred will bring Lois back home."
"Absolutely not. And Alfred is not returning here. Lois should have never been with him. He put her in this danger."
"Kal-El, I didn't shrink Lois on purpose. She's not in any danger."
"Really? Is that the way you see it? You would have not had the opportunity to 'propose' to me, if this had not happened to Lois. The deal was you would help keep your kind in line. There were no specifications as to HOW this was going to be done." Kal-El reminded her.
Chloe held out her hand and Kal-El returned her phone to her. She put it into her purse, then set that on a coffee table.
"Alright, Kal-El. I will go with you and do what you ask. Any by doing this, I am showing you that I am serious about our arrangement."
"What are you saying?" Kal-El asked. "That you don't believe I am?"
"You said you wanted to be the one to tell Lois about our engagement. Just how long is it going to take you to tell her? A day? Two days? A week or what? Because if it's any longer than let's say, a day, I'm going to be forced to believe that you aren't planning on keeping your end of our bargain." Chloe told him.
Kal-El's answer to her question was to suddenly feast his lips on hers with a kiss that had her head spinning! Chloe instantly returned his kiss, that turned into kisses while Kal-El undid his pants and let them drop, then spun her around quickly so that she was bent over a high, obsidian counter like table near the door of the study. A vase fell off of it and fell onto the carpeting without breaking.
Chloe inhaled, her nostrils flaring from pleasure and excitement, as she felt Kal-El's organ enter her with one penetrating thrust. Chloe moaned as Kal-El began pumping repeatedly. She could feel his excitement as he plunged mercilessly into her depths. Kal-El wanted her. And she knew he wanted Lois too. But as long as he still actually wanted her, there was a chance that she could make up the ground she had lost when he touched Lois's thigh.
Chloe cried out as she found her release and she heard Kal-El moan as well. As quickly as the encounter had begun, it was over and Chloe found herself pulling up her underwear and pants. She then turned back to Kal-El, who was adjusting his pants again.
"Is that enough proof for you that I am serious about our agreement?" Kal-El asked casually. Chloe sighed and moved into his arms. She did not notice Kal-El toss something over on the sofa, as she did this. He wrapped his arms around her, returning the embrace.
"I'm glad you're giving this a chance, Kal-El," Chloe whispered against his chest. "What happened just now...it was like Lois had never come between us. We can do this. Just give me a chance."
Kal-El ended the embrace and nodded.
"We should get going. You should take your car. I will be flying Lois back here. Give me 24 hours. Then we can plan our wedding." he said in a matter-of-fact tone. Chloe smiled up at him, then impulsively kissed him, before letting him go and picking up her purse. This was going to work. Somehow they'd deal with the baby, Lois and everything that came with their marriage.
Kal-El watched Chloe as she walked out of the study and out of Wayne Manor. Once he ascertained she was gone, he slowly walked over to the couch and picked up the stick like item that he had inserted into Chloe and manipulated to make her seem as if he had put himself inside of her. He couldn't do it. He would never be able to give himself to her the way he used to. Not since Lois. And he was not giving her up.
It was getting dark in the doll house. Dr. Hamilton had a lamp on next to the house itself, so that neither Bruce or Lois would break their necks trying to get around there. But now Lois was surprisingly tired. Maybe it was the stress from being small. But usually she was raring to go.
There was one bed and some plastic couches nearby. Lois pulled back the fake looking covers and got under them, fully clothed. The pillow sucked as well.
Suddenly, she heard a very loud sound from the floor below! Then just as quickly as Lois heard it, it was over. Bruce suddenly entered the room, looking pensive. Lois sat up.
"What?" she asked.
"It's nothing." he answered shortly.
"It's not nothing! I can tell by the look on your face. What is it?"
Bruce slowly sat down on the end of the bed.
"I quietly killed an insect that had crawled in here."
"What kind of insect?" Lois asked suspiciously.
"It was nothing. Are you tired?"
Lois got up out of the bed.
"What. Kind. Of. Insect?" Lois asked in a slow, deliberate manner. Bruce placed his hands on her shoulders.
"It was a centipede."
"Oh God!" Lois cried out. She usually wasn't squeamish about things like this, but then again, the insects were the ones that were small! Now, insects like that could murder them in their sleep!
"It's gone. I will stay up and keep watch." Bruce tried to soothe her, but Lois shook him off and went back to the bed.
"We're goners. If Chloe was going to do right by us, then she would have by now. The very least she could do is change you back to full height. You didn't do anything to her."
"And neither did you. Let's get some rest. All we can do is wait." Bruce said, as he began taking off his clothes! Lois's eyes grew huge!
"Uh, what are you doing?" she asked, eyeing him. His upper body was a lot like Kal-El's...
"I don't sleep with clothes on."
"Really? It's kind of drafty." Lois noted.
"I don't get cold easily." Bruce said and began to take off his pants.
"Okay, time out here! I like the strip show but we can't sleep together here. And God forbid you are forced to fight a centipede naked!"
Bruce smiled at her.
"So if I fought a centipede naked, that would mean I would lose?"
"That's not what I mean! I don't know what I mean! I just think you'd better keep some pants on. You'll want to be dressed if Chloe ever comes to her senses." Lois advised him.
"Alright, Lois. If my sleeping next to you, without clothing upsets you..."
"I didn't say it would upset me. I mean if you are really determined to do this and possibly catch cold then I can't stop you. But you should stay on your side of the bed."
"I could sleep on one of the plastic couches on the lower floors." Bruce suggested.
"You're small because you stood up to Chloe for me. I wouldn't let you sleep on a couch." Lois told him and patted the other side of the bed. She then laid back down with her back to him, wondering if she could slyly get a peek at him before he got under these fake covers...
She felt him get into bed and realized she had missed an opportunity! Lois began to fall asleep, just as Bruce moved close to her and wrapped his arms around her...
Screaming and yelling was the first thing Lois and Bruce were awakened by! Lois jumped up out of bed, afraid that another centipede had returned! But Bruce saw Kal-El's eye peering in to the dollhouse and smiled.
"WHAT IS THIS?!" Kal-El seethed. "THEY ARE IN THE SAME BED TOGETHER! AND HE'S NAKED! YOU RETURN THEM TO FULL HEIGHT, NOW CHLOE! NOW!"
"Alright, Kal-El! There is no need to yell like that!" Chloe said, trying to calm him down. Personally , she hoped Bruce's being naked meant what she thought it meant! She waved her hands and both Lois and Bruce were returned to full size.
The doll house was destroyed though.
"Kal-El!" Lois cried and through herself into his arms. Thank God he was here! Thank God she was a normal size again!
Chloe eyed a very naked Bruce. It seemed disgustingly unfair that Lois had two hot men chasing her...
Kal-El let go of Lois and faced Bruce.
"What is the meaning of your state of undress, Mr. Wayne?"
"The meaning of it, Kal-El, is that I was asleep."
"In the same bed as my fiancee?"
"It was the only one available..."
Lois jumped in and tried to smooth things over!
"Kal-El, he saved me from a centipede! And you know he was tired from that. Let's just forget about this whole thing, okay?"
Bruce looked around. It was quiet. He then looked at Kal-El and Chloe.
"Where is Dr. Hamilton? And everyone else?"
"Small and arrested. And that included Alfred." Kal-El told him, then reached for Lois's arm.
Bruce looked at Chloe!
"You shrunk everyone here? Even Alfred?"
Chloe looked painfully guilty and Bruce realized that Kal-El and her had come to some kind of agreement. Lois pulled away from Kal-El and walked over to Chloe to confront her.
"What the hell is your problem? Seriously? Alfred? Why? Because Alfred slept with Kal-El too or what?" she asked sarcastically.
Chloe looked from Lois to Kal-El, something both Bruce and Lois noticed.
"Why are you looking at Kal-El? I'm talking to you, Chloe. Tell me what the FUCK your problem is that you'd shrink an old man and people that are just trying to fight the power!"
"The Kryptonians ARE the power," Chloe replied, "and it's time everyone accepted that."
Bruce looked from Chloe to Kal-El. He had a bad feeling about this. Knowing Chloe Sullivan as little as he did, he could think of very few things that would make her use her powers to help the Kryptonians. And none of them would be good for Lois.
"What kind of deal have the two of you made?" Bruce asked. He was looking at Chloe. Lois looked at Kal-El.
"Did you make a deal with Chloe to help you shrink people?" she asked him, her tone now frosty. "I've been small, Kal-El and it really sucks!"
Bruce now faced Kal-El.
"Chloe seems in a better place now. Whatever you've promised her must be REALLY..."
"Shrink him!" Kal-El snapped at Chloe. Chloe waved her hands and Bruce was reduced to the size of an ant!
"NO!" Lois screamed and reached for Bruce quickly and put him in her pocket! Chloe held out her hand.
"Give him to me, Lois! I'll put him with the others. He'll be fine and I will return them to full height once they are taken to the detention center!"
Lois answered by punching Chloe in the face! She went reeling backwards but managed to keep herself from falling by holding on to a table! That blow REALLY hurt and she wondered if the baby she was carrying was giving her extra strength!
Kal-El could see that Chloe was thrown back further than normal and decided to end this! He grabbed Lois's wrist and forced her to drop Bruce onto another table! Chloe hurried over and scooped him up, then left the room. She would leave Kal-El and Lois alone so he could begin to explain how things were going to be from now on. She actually needed to inform her mother, Davis and Aunt Ella about what was going to happen. Chloe knew they wouldn't be happy, but they cared for her happiness. They would come around.
Lois glared at Chloe's back before turning away from Kal-El. Kal-El sighed before speaking.
"Come, Lois. I want you to see a Kryptonian doctor. I want to make sure the baby and yourself are well. There will be someone at the house when we return there."
"That house belongs to Bruce Wayne." Lois replied, still looking away from him. Kal-El reached out and turned her to face him.
"But it does not! This planet IS under Kryptonian rule. You will be my wife and I expect you to side with me! Feeling sorry for people like Bruce Wayne will not help him. He is a user, Lois. And that is all he ever did with you. Use you to get to me."
"I don't believe that. I may not remember him, but he had genuine feelings for me. I think it's just hard for him to express himself is all."
"Lois, I DON'T CARE! I don't care whether Bruce Wayne has trouble declaring his love for you or a goat! Now we are flying back home so that you can be looked after properly! And Wayne Manor IS our home. Not his. Not any longer!"
Lois had little choice but to fly back to Wayne Manor with him. But when they got there, she would have more choice words for him about what went down today!
It was Brainiac that was sent over to look in on Lois and her unborn child. Lois did not have time to be creeped out by him. She was still too angry over Chloe's turning traitor, to put up much of a fuss about him or the examination. Dr. Hamilton had said her baby was fine and she chose to believe him.
Meanwhile, Kal-El stood in the front hallway of Wayne Manor and spoke with General Zod.
"Chloe Sullivan is a real coup for you, Kal-El. To have turned a Darkseid disciple is no mean feat." Zod told him.
"Chloe is not one of his disciples. She came by the power unwittingly."
"I know that you are not happy about your arrangement with this young woman. But we must think of the greater good here. We now have an assured way to retain power on this planet."
"I know that, General. But I do not intend to lose Lois. You may have cared nothing for Moira Sullivan, but I plan to keep her daughter in line and be with Lois Lane."
"Kal-El, if you can pull that off, peacefully, then by all means do so. I just don't think that with the temperament that Earth women have, that it will be possible." Zod advised.
"The temperament of Kryptonian women is only slightly better. I doubt very much Faora would have been anymore pleased that Chloe or Lois, if she had known the full truth about how Lor-Zod was conceived."
"You overstep, Kal-El! And in the end, I have a most powerful son..."
"That hates you but loves his mother. My son or daughter will love us both because we will be together. And I will handle my own affairs without comment from anyone." Kal-El said, before hanging up. The Brain Interactive Construct, otherwise known as 'Brainiac' had taken on a human form now that he was on Earth. He was walking down the stairs towards him.
"Well?" Kal-El asked.
"Your fiancee is in good health. The baby was not interfered with in any way. Though I would go to her if I were you. She is packing a suitcase."
Kal-El watched as Brainiac walked past him and out of the door. After the door closed, Kal-El calmly walked up the stairs and towards the room he and Lois shared. He opened the door and found her locking her suitcase. She picked it up and faced him.
"Don't try and stop me!"
Kal-El walked in leaving the door wide open.
"Why don't you tell my why you are so upset?"
"I have to tell you that, hey? Let's skip the obvious, that being all of this shrinkage crap going on. What did you promise Chloe to make her do what she did? Why is she suddenly helping Kryptonians instead of humans?"
Kal-El said nothing.
"Okay, Kal-El, let me run a theory by you: Chloe is pissed off about us. And the only thing that might calm her down is if she could get you back. Am I somewhat warm?"
"I agreed to marry her. Yes."
"Of course you did. Go to hell! I'm leaving, don't try and stop me and I hope Chloe and you have a really horrible life!" Lois snapped and walked past him and out of the room. Kal-El waited a few moment, then caught up with her as she was walking down the stairs!
"I love you, Lois." Kal-El said simply. Lois stopped walking down the stairs. She clutched her suitcase tightly but said nothing.
"I love you more than love. I agreed to marry Chloe so that she would restore you to me. I will agree to a ceremony and to whatever demands that she makes to keep you safe."
Lois turned and looked back up at him. Kal-El began walking down the stairs towards her.
"I want us to be married tonight. In a place called 'The Fortress'. It will be a legal, Kryptonian ceremony which means that anything that takes place between Chloe and myself after, will not be legitimate. I will bide my time until I can be free of her. But it never occurred to me, ever, when I agreed to this, to give you up. Ever. Not you nor our child."
Kal-El had now reached Lois. He bent down to take her suitcase out of her hand and toss it over the railing. It hit the lower floor with a loud thud.
Kal-El's mouth savaged Lois's, as he made slow and tireless love to her in their bed. Lois kneaded his massive shoulders as her body treacherously yielded itself. Why couldn't she have walked out of here? Why couldn't she walk away from him?
Kal-El's oversized form continued to dominate her firm, young body while his searing length thrust shortly and deeply, within her willing warmth. Lois arched her back in response to each of one his intense penetrations until she felt a long, shuddering quiver possess her. A quiver that burned with electric heat.
After, Lois could still feel the pulsing root of him within her when she told him that yes, she would marry him. Tonight.
