"We Ought Not Die Continues" to plan a road trip
Lois took a deep breath to give Lex a piece of her mind, but thought the better of it when Helga pulled a nine millimeter out of Martha's utility drawer.
Martha didn't say a word. She just helped Lex get Clark on his feet and walked with them to their suite.
"Now, Miss Lane, we were discussing how soon you were leaving to return to your job in China." Helga checked the magazine of the gun and smiled to find it fully loaded. "I'm sure I can arrange to have you on the first flight out of town."

He-Who-Is-Ka-El's-Mate, I suggest that you call off that woman who has threatened my appendages and have Kal-El brought to the Fortress, immediately for a complete examination.
I suspect that Kal-El has entered the third phase of his replication process -- the most vigorous time of growth for a Kryptonian fetus. Kon-El has grown strong and is causing Kal to faint has he? Maybe he can conquer these miserable humans.
Chambers are being prepared for you and Kal-El which will simulate Kryptonian sunlight and gravity. I will endeavor to provide this food Kal-El calls "strudel."
As for the human called Lois Lane, dispose of her as you see fit. She cannot be allowed to threaten Kon-El. I can, if you like, project her into the Phantom Zone, but that would be considered a violation of the rights of those dangerous criminals currently serving sentences there.

"How am I supposed to get Clark to the Fortress? It's not like it's on any airline schedule." Lex practically shouted when he read the AI's response to his email.
"Teleporter." Clark answered from their bed. They had hustled him back to the suite and settled him into bed without his stroganoff. Clark had been mildly pissed about that, but at the moment he was too tired to complain. Maybe later.
Lex frowned. "Teleporter? Justice League teleporters?"
"No. Those can't penetrate the Fortress. The Kowatchee caves have a teleporter the leads to the fortress. I haven't used it since learning to fly, but it should still work."
"And if it doesn't?"
"I suppose you'll have to call Bruce and get him to fly us there in the Javelin."
