I don't know why I do it but when I watch movies or read books I can become fully immersed in the story. And I was with Chloe as she lived those moments in Clark's history without her and when she saw him ready to take on that planet, I could identify with her vocally urging him on even though subconsciously she knew it was in the past. I'm so glad that Jor-El showed her that. Then again I think he knew she needed to see it and what it would mean ;) he is the AI of a genius after all. Well written
"I don't know why I do it but when I watch movies or read books I can become fully immersed in the story. "
An admirable trait, to be sure. :-)

And he's a Good Guy now. And with Chloe second-guessing her decision to keep Gabriella a secret, she needed to know that she'd ultimately made the right decision, no matter how difficult it had been. :-)
I'm actually glad that Chloe went to the Fortress and had this talk with Jor-El. Without this long awaited confrontation Chloe would have never had seen Clark take flight, because of her, at such a pivotal moment or the hero he became because of the choices, right or wrong, she made.
I'm glad that Jor-El has Chloe thinking about contacting her father because I don't think she can truly move forward and close the door with that part of her life until she does.
"I completely agree; she does need to make some kind of peace with her father... I hope that she does. It would mean so much for Gabby."
We'll see. I deliberately left that angle open-ended, as I didn't have time to deal with it in this story and I fully intend to bring Gabe Sullivan back at some point. :-)
"Great visit to the Fortress! Now Chloe can relax a little, knowing that Gabby won't be in danger when she visits."

Agreed. As upset as Clark is about having been cut out of the early years of his daughter's life, the truth is that the world would never have had a chance if he'd known. Chloe needed to know that she really did the best she could, and because of her difficult decision she helped give humanity a chance. :-)

I'm hoping to revisit this in a follow-on fic when time permits. I don't like how Gabe Sullivan just disappeared off the face of the earth, never to return. :-)
Thanks for your lovely comments, Shonnia! Sorry this is coming so late. :-)
Chloe will never stop second guessing her choice not to tell Clark about Gabby but this will help her to find peace easier about what can no longer be changed. Chloe urging Clark on before his battle with Darkseide was beautiful and I like to think that maybe she was doing more than just watching a recording.
"Chloe will never stop second guessing her choice not to tell Clark about Gabby but this will help her to find peace easier about what can no longer be changed."
True. They're all alive, they're together, and they're happy. That's the most important thing. :-)

Glad you like, Mel! Of course, the past can't be changed, but at least now she can see that she made the best possible decision she could have made, given the circumstances.
"“This is for you, Chloe,” he whispered, making her gasp as she heard him speak her name. And then he bent his knees…
Beneath her feet she seemed to feel the earth trembling as he summoned the strength, speed and self-belief he would need to accomplish his greatest feat. The first ray of sunshine pierced the sky and illuminated the wintry landscape with the promise of dawn. And in that instant, Clark shot up into the air, seemingly taking her with him."
LOVED this so much! I just love how it's her love that powers him, more than anything else. And how they're always connected, even when separated by time and space. THIS is what makes a couple EPIC, people!

So, so lovely!"
I'm so glad you liked it, Dawnie! Chlark are the very definition of EPIC. Nuff said. :-)
