Kal-El knew something was wrong when his mother failed to appear for the wedding ceremony. He kept delaying it, hoping she would enter the Fortress at any moment. But after awhile, he could not help but fear that something had happened to her.

Jor-El and Zod feared this as well, as they were forced to reveal to Kal-El, that Lara had last been seen in the company of Chloe Sullivan. Once Lois heard that, she more than believed that her future mother-in-law, had been shrunk!

Kal-El pulled out his phone and decided to call Chloe, keeping his tone casual. Everyone else, listened in...

Chloe answered after two rings.

"Hello?" Chloe asked, her tone sounding suspiciously innocent.

"Chloe, this is Kal-El. I was wondering if you happened to know the whereabouts of my mother? We were supposed to meet to discuss our wedding plans."

"Really? You know, I did see her. Yes. But when I talked to her, she didn't seem all that eager to talk about our wedding. As a matter of fact, it was almost as if just because I was not pregnant with a 'full blooded' Kryptonian child, I wasn't as good as Lois."

"I'm sure you misunderstood." Kal-El replied, but his stomach did flip flops! His mother had clearly argued with Chloe.

"I don't think I did."

"Chloe," Kal-El said patiently, "I was planning a special Kryptonian ceremony and I need her help. If you know where my mother is, please tell me."

"A special Kryptonian ceremony? Awww! How sweet! Where are you, by the way? I'm here at Wayne Manor and you're nowhere around. Neither is Lois."

Everyone, with the use of their special hearing, could hear Chloe and her smarmy tone. Lois could tell by the looks on their faces that the conversation was not going well. Hell, she could hear Kal-El practically gritting his teeth when he talked to her! Lois closed her eyes and found herself concentrating, for some reason. Soon, she could hear Chloe just as well as the others...

"Lois ran off when I told her about her upcoming nuptials. Where did you say my mother was again?"

"Lois ran off? Is she with her father at the military base? I know she's not with Aunt Ella because I just left there. Aunt Ella is going to help plan our wedding. And I don't want it to be Kryptonian, okay? Just a small church..."

"Chloe. Where. Is. My. Mother?"

"Where is your mother? Hmmm. Oh maybe she's in the same place that stick is in. You know what I'm talking about, don't you, Kal-El? That stick that you FUCKED me with earlier...only you made me think it was your..."

"Chloe, have you shrunk my mother?!"

"She's a present for Aunt Ella."

Jor-El gasped! Zod shook his head. Kal-El had not handled this right. Kara tried to restrain her laughter! No, it was not funny that Aunt Lara was small...but Kal-El had had sex with this girl using some stick, unbeknownst to her? Oh no, Kal-El, she thought.

Lois stopped listening in and walked over to Kal-El. She quickly snatched the phone out of his hands!

"Chloe? It's Lois."

"Lois. I figured you were with him."

"That's right. I am. We're here at the Fortress putting on the finishing touches for your wedding. I hope you don't mind, but I assigned myself the job of being your bride's maid."

Chloe was silent on her end.

"Chloe? Are you still there?" Lois asked. She held the phone with one hand and rubbed Kal-El's back soothingly with the other. Unfortunately, they had to find out for sure where Lara was. She really hoped that her mother was not using her as some decoration in her house! Lois was very aware of how much Ella despised Lara.

"You expect me to believe that you're helping plan my wedding?" Chloe asked.

"Kara is here as well, okay? I couldn't get ahold of Lucy..."

"I could." Chloe interrupted. "So I don't see why you couldn't. We were going to meet up to look over bridal dresses. "

"Well I didn't know that, okay? The point is, you should get yourself over here to the Fortress so you can try on a Kryptonian wedding gown. It's important to Kal-El that this wedding be traditional."

"Why would you help me?" Chloe asked, still sounding suspicious.

"Why wouldn't I? Chloe, I don't really remember even conceiving this child. I liked Kal-El, yes, but this is no big deal. And you're making more out of this than you need to. So come to the Fortress, with Kal-El's mother and the two of you will be married tonight. What do you say?" Lois asked, now locking eyes with Kal-El, who was shaking his head.

"I think Aunt Ella has went through a lot of trouble. I don't want to disrespect her by chucking all of her plans away."

Kal-El motioned for Lois to hand him the phone and she reluctantly did so.

"But it is fine to disrespect my mother? I want her returned to her full size."

"After we're married. My way."

"Fine. Is my mother with you at Wayne Manor?"

"Yes."

"My father and I will be there shortly." Kal-El said and hung up. He then looked around at everyone.

"You all have heard what happened. Father and I will go to Wayne Manor and make sure that Chloe Sullivan keeps her word."

Zod decided to make his opinion known.

"Kal-El, I think more serious measures need to be taken here."

"Meaning?" Lois asked, folding her arms. She didn't like this Zod guy anyway. He seemed kind of gross!

"Meaning, we cannot allow an Earthling to control us in this manner. Either she is disposed of or we find a way to imprison her."

Lois moved to Kal-El and Jor-El's side.

"I think this is being blown way out of proportion. Chloe is just hurt, that's all. Kal-El just...just...marry her. We'll figure this thing out. I'll be fine." Lois told him.

"No." Kal-El said curtly. "And unfortunately, Zod is correct. Chloe cannot be allowed to be dictate our personal lives. I don't want her executed but maybe she can be restrained. I have an idea."

"Kal-El, if your idea involves tricking her again..."

"Yes. It does. I will marry her. After she will be drugged and kept that way until her powers either wear off or we can strip her of them." Kal-El told her.

Lois sighed and walked away from him. Kal-El nodded to his father and Zod, before moving to her side. He rested his hands on her shoulders.

"I know you don't agree with this. But..."

"No," Lois interrupted, "I see she has to be reigned in. But I just wish it didn't have to be this way."

"I will not stand for anything or anyone that gets in the way of our future life together. I would like your help with this. I want you to pretend as if you are helping with the wedding. It will be easier to subdue and drug her, if she is around trusted people. I know what I am asking is not easy for you."

"No. But I'll do it." Lois said. "Chloe has no business having powers like this. But she is a victim in this. This all goes back to Moira."

Zod walked over to them.

"I agree. And unfortunately, I think your aunt knows more about why her daughter has come by these powers than she is letting on."

Meanwhile, Jor-El witnessed the three of them speaking from afar, while he endured his own private turmoil. Chloe had shrunk Lara and given her to Ella as some sort of play thing! What if they failed in their task to trick Chloe into submission? Would Lara stay small forever? Lara had to be returned to full size before they captured Chloe. Zor-El and Alura moved to comfort him, while Kara partook in more food over by the buffet table!

"What do you want us to do, Jor-El?" Zor-El asked his brother.

"How can we help?" Alura asked as well.

"Leave here. Zor-El, I want you to work on looking into a way of stripping Chloe Sullivan of these powers given to her by Darkseid. Alura, I need for you prepare a cell for Miss Sullivan, keeping in mind what her ability is. I also want Kara to go and pick up Moira Sullivan and re-arrest her. She is an enemy of this Kryptonian state."

"I don't mean to be rude, Jor-El, but at this point, Ella Lane should be arrested as well." Alura pointed out.

"She is an accomplice. Ella Lane should have reported what happened to Lara to the proper Kryptonian authorities." Zor-El reminded his brother. Kara wiped off her hands and joined her parents with Jor-El.

"I will go and pick up both women and arrest them on conspiracy to commit crimes against Kryptonians. Don't worry, Uncle Jor-El. We'll get Aunt Lara back and Kal-El and Lois will be married. This Earthling is not going to control our fate." Kara said.


Chloe set down her phone. She wanted to believe that Kal-El and Lois were being truthful about their intentions. But somehow, she just didn't buy it. And she needed some kind of plan for when they did show up here. Should she trust their explanation in good faith? Or shrink them? It seemed safer to just shrink them.

Then another plan came to mind. One that made Chloe smiled wildly! But she would need Davis's help. She pulled out her phone and hit his number. Davis answered after two rings.

"Chloe? Is everything alright?"

"Yes and no. Where are you?"

Davis sighed. He was standing in the lobby of the Daily Planet, which had been rebuilt much faster than usual, with the help of Kryptonian technology. He could see John Corben sitting at his desk. Kat was sitting on the end of it and she was clearly showing now.

"Out and about." was his answer to her. "Why? What's up?"

"I need your help. I want to make amends for what I did to Bruce, Dinah, Oliver and all the others. I want you to help me get into the detention center so that I can return all of the league to their full size."

Davis nodded approvingly and turned away from John and Kat. He walked out of the building and continued his conversation with Chloe while walking the busy sidewalks of Metropolis.

"I think that is a good idea. Together, we could go in and free them all. Chloe, I can't tell you how much it means to me to hear you say this! Does that mean that you've given up on the idea of marrying Kal-El?"

"No. But I will protect myself when it comes to him. I promise. I also need one more favor from you."

Davis frowned. There was something about Chloe's tone that seemed off. But then her having the ability to shrink people was about as 'off' as you could get!

"Okay...what is it?"

"When we free the the league, I need for you to fly both Bruce and I back to Wayne Manor. I want to restore his home to him." she lied. There was no way she could tell Davis her real purpose for wanting Bruce by her side.

"Kal-El will never go for that." Davis said quietly.

"He can pay the price if he doesn't. Davis, Kal-El and I can live somewhere else. He only wanted THAT particular house for spiteful reasons. I want to be a liaison between the Earthlings and the Kryptonians. I think it's a very small compromise. And I know Lois would approve. It might make her happy too."

"Things are already going to be hard between you two with this wedding." Davis noted. "Alright. I'll be there in a minute to come and get you."

"Good! Thanks, Davis. You've been a true brother to me." Chloe said before hanging up.


Kal-El, Jor-El and Lois arrived at Wayne Manor and found no one there. Kal-El and Jor-El used their abilities to speed through the house looking for her, while Lois looked around for signs of anything out of place. Meaning something one could fit someone small in to.

She spotted the tupperware right away. Lois peered into it and saw Kal-El's poor mother inside!

"Kal-El! Jor-El!" Lois yelled. They returned quickly and Lois handed Jor-El the container.

"Mother of Krypton! Lara, my darling, are you alright?"

Lara appeared to be speaking and Jor-El flung off the top of the container, but she could still not be heard!

"I do not understand this, Father! We can hear pins drop but Mother cannot be heard! Why?" Kal-El asked tersely,

"I do not know. What I do know is that we have to convince Chloe to reverse what has been done to your mother." Jor-El said, looking from son over to Lois. Kal-El moved away from his father, grabbed Lois's arm and walked a few feet away from his father and tiny mother.

"I don't want to do this. I don't want to lie to Chloe anymore. I don't want to lie about us and how I feel about you."

"Look at your father over there. He's counting on us to make this right."

Kal-El suddenly cupped Lois's face within his hands!

"We did nothing wrong but fall in love! These things happen! No, we were not forthright with Chloe but she should not be doing this! I think we can convince her to restore my mother to her full height and..."

"You think so?" Chloe's voice suddenly boomed. Kal-El slowly slid his hands off of Lois and they both turned to see Chloe, Bruce and Davis walking in. Jor-El clutched the tupperware container that now served as a home for his wife!

"Chloe," he said, drawing out her name, "I want you to restore my wife to her full height. NOW!"

Davis moved past Chloe and Bruce, to peer at the container! Good God! He then turned to face his sister.

"You didn't say anything about shrinking Lara!"

Chloe folded her arms and stared her brother down.

"If you want to be in this family, then you need to start acting like it! Aunt Ella didn't do anything but love Jor-El. Just like I did nothing but love Kal-El. Do you really think we deserve to be hurt like this?"

"No one is hurting you, Chloe," Kal-El answered, "I agreed to marry you."

Bruce now understood that he was here under false pretenses. Chloe had freed him and the others by shrinking more than a few Kryptonians. Davis took on the ones that dared to challenge them. The others in the JLA went underground-for now. But Chloe had told him that she had convinced Kal-El to return Wayne Manor to him. He was now glad he had insisted that Alfred go with the others. Nothing was settled here at all.

Chloe had used him, or planned on it? But for what purpose? Bruce looked at Lois, who was standing at Kal-El's side and staring at Chloe in disbelief!

"We're here, Chloe! There will be a wedding! YOU'RE wedding to Kal-El," Lois said, "so you don't have to keep hurting people!"

"You know, at first I thought I'd feel better if I watched Kal-El rape you with a stick, like he did with me but..."

"What?!" Bruce and Davis asked in unison. Lois shook her head and walked up to her cousin.

"Never mind! It doesn't matter. It's time to cut the bullshit, Chloe. Why is Bruce here?" she asked her.

"I'll restore Lara to her full height when Kal-El and I are married. But I want a double wedding ceremony." Chloe told her cousin, looking her straight in the eye. Kal-El suddenly felt sick! And he'd never felt ill not one day that he had been on this planet, with the exception of the times he had been exposed to the radioactive rock from Krypton. But this illness felt different. It was in the pit of his stomach and it felt like he was going to actually vomit. He knew what Chloe was about to say and the idea of it made him feel beyond ill.

Bruce looked at Kal-El and noticed he looked pale, but God help him, he knew what Chloe was going to say as well.

"I want you to get married right along side me, Lois. In this house. I will marry Kal-El and you will marry Bruce Wayne."

"Stop this, Chloe! I've had enough!" Davis snapped and he began to turn into the creature known as Doomsday! Lois's mouth dropped open! Holy God! Was Davis actually beginning to turn into something on his own sister! Jeez!

But Chloe didn't let it get that far. She waved her hands as poor Davis shrunk, mid metamorphosis. Jor-El could see him on the shiny, wooden floor and scooped him up. He watched as Davis changed back to normal in his hand, before putting him the tupperware container with Lara-something that did not especially make HER happy! Good God! What if he changed in here with her?!

Kal-El decided to use Chloe's diverted attention to quickly leap towards her. But for whatever reason, despite using his speedy abilities, Chloe must have sensed what he was about to do because she turned and shrunk him as well!

"KAL-EL!" Lois screamed, before dropping to the floor, seemingly unconscious! Bruce ran to her and bent down to cradle her in his arms! He glared up at Chloe!

"That's enough, Chloe! This is over! Return everyone back to their normal size and stop this!" Bruce yelled at her. Chloe eyed Lois.

"What's the matter with her?" she asked.

"Do you care?" Bruce retorted. Chloe didn't answer that. Instead, she began to look around, until she focused on Jor-El.

"Do you have Kal-El in that container?" she asked him. Jor-El shook his head and now Chloe began to look around wildly!

"No one move! He could get stepped on! We have to find Kal-El!" Chloe yelled.

But Kal-El was in a nice, safe place. He had run up Lois's leg when she fell to the ground, and down her pants! Now, he was inside of her underwear, where it was warm, toasty and safe! And he would not be coming out until he and Chloe struck a new deal.
