The Dress Hunt
Chloe has been talking to Lana for a couple of weeks now about how she needs to get a dress for the upcoming wedding. Lana has been dragging her feet and it has been making Chloe crazy.
Chloe sits in her home office at Sherwood the new estate of the Queen’s she really had a issue with Oliver calling the place Sherwood but she was getting used to it after she made the green archer take down the robin hood statues either side of the main gates.
Chloe thought to herself even Batman doesn’t have bats all over Wayne manor her husband just didn’t get subtlety very well, she just smiled at the thought.
Ok back to Lana, Chloe picks up her phone and speed dials a frequently called number “hey girlfriend what are you doing today’ was Chloe’s first question.
Lana answered “hi Chloe, actually today is a day where I don’t have much going on?”
“I was going to hound you about getting a dress you know the wedding is less than six weeks away. Have you at least picked out invitations yet?”
“Um well not yet Clark wants to pay for everything and the budget is kind of small, Clark doesn’t make that much yet at the Daily Planet so were going to have a small wedding it looks like.”
“What says Chloe, this is the guy who saves people everyday and doesn’t ask for anything in return ever. I will have to have a talk with Mister Clark Kent about this.”
Lana says “Clark is pretty set about this Chloe.”
“Set or not I will not have my two best friends who deserve much better, leave mister cheapo to me Lana. You might own his heart but I still know how to appeal to his brain. So back to my original question what are you doing today?”
“Well nothing really important unless an emergency comes up and Clark needs help”
“So you’re free for the day” asks Chloe?
“Yes” is Lana’s answer
“How fast can you get over here to Sherwood?”
“Let’s see its about 120 miles right so that should be like a couple minutes at most.”
“Ok, get here now.”
“Let me get my purse and phone and I’m on the way.”
Less than three minutes later Lana is ringing the front door bell. Chloe hit the door buzzer and the intercom “Lana come on in and welcome to Sherwood.”
“Turn right at the second archway that will lead to the kitchen and family room were I’m at” said Chloe.
Lana was impressed this place is huge like 24000 sq. ft. it’s almost unbelievable that Chloe was two years ago living above the talon in her old apartment but now she is in a mega house mansion. Lana shook her head in amazement how things have changed for all of them. As soon as Lana found her right she entered the kitchen and beyond was the family room with Chloe.
‘Chloe this place is huge, how many people do you have for house staff.”
“It’s just me and Oliver we have a cleaning staff that comes in twice a week otherwise it just the Queens. Oliver always hated having people waiting on him so when we moved here he didn’t hire anyone. His parent’s house still has a staff and we went there last year for a meeting of some kind, yet no one lives there anymore.”
“Well I talked some sense into Clark I got him to see that his friends want to be part of the life that you two are starting and that means we are going to have a wedding not huge but around 100 or so people.”
Lana was speechless she didn’t know what to say only Chloe could get through Clarks thick head sometimes she said a silent prayer of thanks she really wanted Clark to have great memories of getting married.
She looked at Chloe “how did you pull that trick off?”
“Simple I told him his wife deserves to be lavished and fawned over. I told him that his friends would be pissed forever if he didn’t invite them to share your guy’s happiest moment.”
“Ok” said Lana not knowing what else to say.
Chloe grabbed Lana’s arm “you and I are going to get a couple of days of girl time in; we have 40 minutes to get to the airport.”
Lana's jaw dropped in shock and surprise “Huh”, said Lana “airport, where are we going?” “We are going shopping and you are getting a wedding dress I set the appointment. We are expected this afternoon.”
“But Chloe I don’t have any clothes with me.”
“That’s fine we can buy some there and wear them home ok let’s get going.”
“Hold on a second I have to call Clark and tell him…”
Chloe looked at Lana and said “I’ve already done that, you’re going missy and you’re going to have fun check your text messages you should have one from Clark any second.
Seconds later Lana’s phone went off it was a message from Clark “baby I love you I have been a fool our friends demand to be part of our life’s and if I won't let them attend our wedding they won't ever talk to me again, I can’t have that; so enjoy your trip. If I can get away I might stop in and visit you and Chloe, have a good time I love you Lana.”
Lana texted back “I love you too are you really sure about this?”
Clark replied with only one word, “yes.”
“Ok Chloe I guess were going on a shopping trip” smiled Lana.
Chloe said “lets get the limo out front and we can go.” Moments later the two women climbed into the limo and Chloe told James’ the driver “airport please.”
James replied with “yes Chloe” and away they went.
A Shopping They Will Go
When they arrived at the airport they entered through the private aviation section, they were meet by Clark and Oliver “hey ladies enjoy your trip” said Oliver giving Chloe a kiss then hugging Lana.
Clark kissed Lana and gave her a small carry on bag. Holding her tight he said in a low whisper “I packed a few things for you.” He kissed her deeply and said “I love you have a good time don’t worry about anything.”
Lana was surprised to see this change in Clarks plans for their wedding. She asked “are you really ok with the wedding list getting bigger.”
“After Chloe got done with me; I felt like a heel, so yes I’m ok with the expanding list. I trust you to pick out what ever you want and desire, you and our friends are more important than anything else. I love you Lana I’ll see you at home in two days.” Clark gave Lana one of those toe curling kisses that just melted her heart and left her very excited craving more, much more.
Oliver hugged Chloe and passionate kissed her then talked to the pilot before they closed up the plane and taxied off to the ramp.
“Well Clark we have two days with no woman around what do you think party time or what?”
“Come on Oliver you know me better than that by now I’ll take Lana over any party any day.”
“You wouldn’t be you without that answer I just wanted to check and see if anything else changed with Chloe talking you into having a bigger wedding.”
“You know Oliver the thing that made me change my mind is Chloe telling me that Lana waited for this forever and went through hell to get where we are today and she deserves to have a wedding to remember and if I didn’t like it, well too damn bad, deal with it. I didn’t know what to say. Lana does deserve to have something special so I owe you both.”
Oliver smiled and said “it’s ok, it’s the thing friends do for each other Clark.”
The men watched the Queen jet take off and lift into the sky, Oliver looked at Clark “that’s our que to head out and back to work.”
“Yea me too, back to the desk and Lois joy of joys”….
As soon as the captain turned off the seatbelt light Chloe offered Lana decaf coffee which she gladly took, “I’ve got to know where we are going Chloe.”
“How about a shopping trip to New York City. Maybe picking out a wedding dress, shoes, and veil for you Lana.”
Lana just looked shocked.
“We’ll meet with the designer when we land then some time wondering around then a relaxing evening. Followed by a spa day consisting of massage, relaxation, and pampering then a short trip home.”
“Chloe you shouldn’t have done that.”
“Sorry, too bad I made all the arrangement and its set in stone. We my friend are going to have fun so get used to it.” Lana just didn’t know what to say she just smiled ear to ear.
The jet touched down less than 2 hours later at a private airfield reserved only for business class jets, the ladies then loaded on to a helicopter for the trip to midtown. The chopper touched down on the heli pad of the Waldorf Astoria hotel where the women would be staying. Chloe and Lana handed over their small overnight bags. They were lead to their suite overlooking Central Park both Lana and Chloe drank in the view.
Chloe finally has enough “hey Lana we need to get going or we will be late for your appointment with the designer.”
“Your not going to tell me who it is are you” asked Lana?
Chloe smiled and said “let’s go already.”
They took the elevator down to the lobby and headed off to the front concierge desk a smart looking young woman looks up from the desk “ah Mrs. Queen nice to see you again your limo is waiting outside see the bell captain he will point you to the correct limo.”
“Thank you Alice” said Chloe.
Lana is impressed her long time friend and confidant; she has grown up a lot in the last year she is happy they are together again and are friends. They arrive in midtown west in a little while and are ushered into a very modern looking building. Lana was completely surprised when she saw the name on the office as she and Chloe entered Vera Wang Design’s. Lana wore only Vera Wang once before in her life and that was the night she and Clark danced at the prom Lana thought only Chloe would remember who my favorite designer was.
Chloe walked over to the reception desk with Lana following closely. The lady behind the desk asked them both to sign in and greeted them with “welcome to Vera Wang Designs Mrs. Queen and I presume this is Ms. Lang” asked the receptionist?
Lana was impressed these folks had it together. Moments later a lady walked out up to greet Lana and Chloe “hi I’m Vera you must be Lana Lang” she looked in Lana’s direction.
Lana said “Yes that’s me it’s a real pleasure to meet you Ms. Wang I have been a fan of your fashion designs for years.”
“Please call me Vera, and thank you, your most kind to say that. Shall we enter the design studio Ladies” said Vera.
They went through double doors on the right and saw several people busily working on different garments there were white boards everywhere and cameras to capture almost any image anyone would want. They sat next to a table that Vera pointed to she asked “what kind of a dress are you looking for Lana?”
Lana had given some thought to what she wanted by looking in the various bride magazines. She told Vera that she was looking for something along the traditional lines as well as she was pregnant and would be three months along when the ceremony would be held. Vera started writing things down on a tablet.
Lots of lace, or strategic lace, long train, or short train, length, hem, line color, and the questions continued for about fifteen minutes. The entire time she had been writing things down and making notations on the tablet. Vera finally saved the information and opened a starting design for Lana to consider. There were several dresses that looked ok but just weren’t exactly what she had in mind. Vera suggested they try a couple of the dresses to get a feel for what she wanted Lana and Chloe both thought this was an awesome idea.
They were escorted into a changing room area with rack after rack of wedding gowns. Lana was ecstatic and Chloe was impressed. Lana’s first trial dress was a long line traditional which she liked. Some of the features were ok but she wasn’t all that happy over all with it. After about 15 or so dresses Vera looked over at the two ladies and said “you know I have a design that didn’t make it into production so I only have the one dress but thinking about it there is a good chance this dress is exactly what you’re wanting Lana”.
Lana’s face lit up. A wedding gown that might just be what she wanted. An assistant brought over the gown in question. She got instantly excited the second she saw the gown. Lana had been getting concerned that even with a brand designer she wouldn’t find a dress. As Lana got into the dress the first thing she noticed it fit like a glove there was a little room but not much and it had everything she wanted in a wedding gown. Lana was falling for this dress before even seeing it on her once she was buttoned into the gown she walked over to the small platform they had in the changing room she looked at it in the mirror the front was perfect and what she could see of the back it was the perfect dress she fell in love with it on the spot.
Lana called Chloe over “hey I think this is the one what do you think Chloe” Lana asked?
“Wow that is the right dress for you Lana it looks awesome on you.”
The wedding dress Lana fell in love with is a white elegant classic shaped gown with its strapless fitted bodice with floral embroidery that adorns the bodice. Also veiled lacquer-print irises on organza material which is magnificent layered on top. It's a sheer fabric layered over the skirt of the gown it's so beautifully transparent it just looks decadent. The skirt of the gown is a very full skirt that brushes the floor. The train is a chapel train long and gorgeous. The back of the gown has satin buttons leading up to a very sexy low cut back. Lana felt so elegant and regal as she wore the wedding gown which fit her like a glove, just like it had been exclusively designed for her. The gown perfectly showed off her beautiful curves to the exact degree certain to drive Clark wild.
Lana asked if they had a veil that went with this gown. Vera’s assistant replied we don’t normally do veils but we have the material some clients ask if we can custom make one to match their gown. Lana crossed her fingers before asking the next question Chloe noticed Lana’s crossed her fingers and chuckled to herself. Lana looked at Vera and asked if they had any material that had Irises in the design, now it was Vera’s turn to chuckle “well we just got some in the other day would you like to see a sample.”
Once the bolt of material was brought out it was exactly what Lana wanted, netting with a appliqué of a iris. Lana asks for a certain length and that the irises be draped down both sides and the bottom edge of the veil. Vera says “shouldn’t be any problem we can make that up in a half hour can you wait” asked Vera?
The ladies both say yes at the same time, Lana adds “I want to wear this gown for a while longer I really love it a lot.”
They finished the veil bring it to Lana to try. The veil has an iris border along the sides perfectly complimenting the timeless classic gown. Lana is exceedingly happy with the shopping trip that’s two items off the list.
The next stop was more fun than either of the friends expected. Chloe and Lana went a little crazy in the La Perla boutique on fifth avenue, after looking at all the wedding lingerie Lana found something very sexy to wear under her gown a El Color Rojo white slip with matching panties with a garter belt the slip was stretch tulle sheer slip embellished with leavers lace having elegant macramé roses line the décolletage. The slip had to be modified by the designer to work correctly with the built in bra in the gown but that was a small issue.
Poor Clark will have no idea what hit him when he gets to help her undress later. She couldn’t resist, the wedding lingerie was going to be the appetizer, and she had another outfit picked out for the consummation of their wedding night she bought a red Maison camisole top with matching tap pant and a plain black silk robe to hide what she would be wearing. Chloe was having way too much fun helping Lana; she even got caught up in the spirit of things picking several matching sets for her and Oliver to enjoy later. Lana bought sixteen outfits that day and something equally special for each evening.
There was bed time to be considered too and those outfits had to be something to surly get Clarks blood boiling. Chloe just laughed and laughed. “If Clark survives the honeymoon he will have truly earned his title “man of steel” Chloe told Lana, they both cracked up at that.
Neither woman thought that they would be able to keep a straight face when someone said “the man of steel” ever again. When Chloe and Lana were done the sales associate had just became the top performer in sales for the month. The ladies had their purchases sent to their hotel and the El Color Rojo slip was sent by courier to Vera Wang Designs to be modified.
The one item that they didn’t do yet was the shoes Lana wanted a pump she could wear and not have to learn how to walk in. Chloe has just gotten some shoes from a European designer Manolo Blahnik who was very exclusive she showed the designers web site to Lana and they talked about shoes and what they had to have in the limo on the way back to the hotel. Manolo Blahnik, the elegant master of women's shoe design his boutique is in London. Chloe had a few hours to wait until she could call in her order but she would take care of that from the hotel. Chloe ordered Lana satin embellished white pumps with crystal-beaded vine appliqué on the front and side of the each shoe they had sexy 3 inch heels they were custom made for Lana. They will look superb with the wedding gown.
All in all the two women had a wonderful day together they decided it was time for something to eat and then hangout for the evening ready to attend the spa the next day. The ladies retired to their hotel and ordered room service. They were both tired from the busy afternoon and went to bed early.
The next morning found them up early and ready to go after a very nice room service breakfast. Chloe drank two cups of espresso to get her going for some reason the hotels coffee just didn’t have the kick she needed. They arrived for their spa day at 9 AM convenient that the spa was in the Waldorf where they were staying. The ladies had a full day engagement with different treatments Chloe just wanted to try and didn’t want to try them alone so she was glad she could enjoy them with Lana.
Lana and Chloe finished their day at 4:30 relaxed, massaged, and pampered like neither small town girl had ever experienced. Lana thanked Chloe for the shopping trip and the spa experience. Lana had thought she had at least paid for her own lingerie but sneaky Chloe had the La Perla store refund all the charges back to Lana’s card and put the charges on hers. She wasn’t about to let her friend pay for anything.
Both Lana and Chloe ate a light meal on the jet home. They arrived in Grandville much to Lana’s surprise Chloe told her it’s easier for her to get home from here for her. While the friends were exchanging hugs and thanks Clark stuck his head in the door of the jet asking if Lana was ready to get back to life in Kansas. Lana jumped into Clarks arms and hugged and kissed him “I missed you so much I had fun but I missed you.”
Clark smiled and winked at Chloe “I missed you to baby its been a long two days for me.”
Clark holding on to Lana turned to Chloe and said “I owe you and Oliver so much I have no idea how I’ll ever repay what you two are doing for us but somehow some way that will happen someday.
Chloe smiled at Clark “Clark this is what friends do for friends. You owe me nothing and I won't put up with talk about repayment, got it!”
Lana whispered into Clark’s ear “honey I think you can’t win this one.”
Clark just shrugged. “How many bags do you have Lana” he asked?
“I bought two new suit cases to fit everything into, oh, the best part was that I found the perfect dress just like it was designed just for me and the designer is sending one of her assistants to make any final adjustments to the dress the week before the wedding when they bring the dress out to us.”
“Cool” said Clark “so I get to see the dress.”
Lana replied with “no silly its bad luck for the groom to see the brides dress before the wedding silly man.”
“Here are your bags” as the attendant handed Clark 3 bags.
“Chloe once again thanks for everything and I’m off to load these into the truck” Lana hugged Chloe once more and followed Clark off the plane.
Chloe was sad to see her friends leave but she was looking forward to seeing her archer. The attendant closed the door and asked Chloe to return to her seat so the plane can taxi and take off she figured that they would land on the private air field outside metropolis in 25 minutes at the most she would be happy to see Oliver and tell him how the first part of their plan worked so far.
The wedding gown arrived as scheduled exactly a week before the wedding the surprise was a Natalie Briggs personally custom designed ultimate heirloom garter. Vintage style beaded white lace on a soft band of white satin, with beautiful irises and intricate bead work.
Lana found a note in the box from Vera it read. “Lana thank you for choosing me for your gown you were such a great client I decided to ask my friend Natalie to make a garter for your wedding day. May you have a long and very happy marriage, all my best, Vera.”
Lana thought that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for her. Lana laughed a little ‘a long and happy marriage’ it was just funny to her at that moment for some reason.

Five weeks later Bachelor and Bachelorette parties
Clark and Lana wanted to have a small quiet intimate ceremony for friends and family. Well the friends and family list got a lot longer than expected along with Clarks frown. Martha told Clark to suck it up this is for friends and family. Besides it was for Lana so deal with it.
Lana had a stunning wedding gown from Vera Wang; she stuck with a gown with a higher waist line because she was pregnant and didn’t want her condition to be the talk of the town gossips. Lana wanted to have people talk about the wedding not the bride. She’s been down that road; she didn’t need to revisit her past.
The day before the bride and groom spent with their close respective friends talking about old times and the future. Neither the bride nor the groom had any interest of get falling down drunk and doing something stupid.
Oliver pulled Clark aside “hey buddy what’s up,” seeing the intense look on Clarks face.
“I’m ok, just looking forward to being married like you and Chloe” replied Clark.
“Did anything really change for you guys” asked Clark?
Oliver gets this pensive look on his face “well the only thing that changed for me is I get to wake up every morning next to this beautiful woman everyday of the rest of my life. I love Chloe more today than the day before we got married, none of us are very clear on the how and why but it happened and I wouldn’t change a thing if that’s what you’re asking Clark.”
Clark thinks for a few moments and says “well so nothing changed then ok I get it, I just want to make sure that the rest of my life with Lana is open and I share all of me with her.”
“Jesus Clark, you make marriage sound like it was the best thing invented ever.”
“Well Oliver I know I’ve never been happier than now and with the upcoming event I can’t imagine life getting much better.”
“I should hook you up with Eharmony as their new spokesperson,” fires Oliver smiling.
Clark shakes his head. “Mentioning jobs I think I’m going to have a problem with Lois she has been acting strange the last few days in-fact ever since I told her about us getting married do you think she will cause any problems?”
“Knowing Lois as I do I would say yes expect something, better yet why don’t I get a couple of my security people here to see that things don’t get derailed?”
“Well if it gets out of hand I’ll take your help” said Clark. “Oliver what happens if she won’t back off she has a connection to all of us I don’t want her hurt but if she is a threat to Lana or my family something will have to be done.”
“I’ll have Chloe talk with her and feel out where she thinks that Lois is at mentally with you and Lana getting married but why would she be so concerned with you getting married?”
“Unless she found out about the altered time lines and has seen something that says things should be different like the time line where I erased Lana’s death and pushed her into the arms of that Luthor bastard.”
“Clark lets not talk about that scum he’s not worth mentioning he’s gone and a part of all our pasts, let dead dogs lie in their graves they have no place with us in the land of the living. If she causes you issues I’ll take care of it, I know Chloe wouldn’t want anyone other than family to take care of Lois.”
“Hey on a lighter subject I was wondering if you might be interested in working in a team environment. I was talking to the boys the other night about forming a team to take out villains and other bad guys delivering them and the evidence to the authorities. No more taking the law in our own hands it’s going to be by the rules and only by the laws of the land. We take them down collect the evidence and hand them over to the appropriate authorities’ simple and straight forward.”
“That takes a new view for you Oliver I guess that means your changing your ways, nice to see you’re going by the rules now instead of taking the law in you own hands. I guess this is where I say I’m proud of you for making the right choice Oliver.”
“Thanks Clark” said Oliver.
“Also I have a question for you are you really happy working at the daily planet I mean really happy you know what I mean? I was wondering if you might be interested in bring some of that wonderful technology that is locked up in your head to the people of earth not the dangerous stuff but small things that would make life better for people kind of thing. Tell you what; just think about it once in a while. You don’t owe me an answer until you’re ready to talk to me about it how about that?”
“What is it you think a reporter can do for you Oliver; I’m not following you here my friend.”
“Ok if you worked for me say every couple of years you could invent something that would help people out and Queen industries would manufacture it so there is no direct path to you and you will have more time with Lana and your other job. Clark just think about it please; get back to me if you think it’s a good idea. Ok so no pressure, I know your happy doing your current gig so I do not want to upset what you have going on in your life and Lana’s. My question is please consider my offer it has no expiration ever. Once you work for me I believe you will be very happy with what you can do personally and professionally. Hell you could even free lance once in a while like Chloe does.”
Clark just stood there considering Oliver’s words he knew that Oliver was a man of his word so this could be something the happy couple could use as a backup plan if nothing else. Clark looked at Oliver and said “I’ll think it over and talk to Lana about it as well. That’s the best I can do for now ok?”
Oliver looked relieved that Clark took the information at all instead of an outright dismissal. “That’s all I can ask buddy” said Oliver
“Getting back to our prior discussion what made you change and thought up this team thing in the first place” asked Clark.
“Well I think it might be something you said to my wife a long time ago. My friend you know how determined my wife can be, so it sounded like a good idea when she told me about this group of super hero’s doing good and fighting for the good guys.”
“So what was it that I said exactly?”
“Ummm something like you can’t be everywhere for everybody all the time you recall saying that to Chloe” asked Oliver.
“Uh maybe something like that.”
“I’ve always been a solo act but it would be nice to have back up.”
“How many people are you talking to already?” asked Clark.
“Well today it’s, so far me, Bart, Victor, AC, Myrna, You and Lana that is if you decide to join, Lana already did.”
“Wait a second Lana already did?”
“Yea just got the text a few minutes ago sorry to be the one to tell you your wife thought it was a great idea”
“Man, ok count both of us in Oliver.”
Oliver didn’t bother telling Clark that Lana has been a member from the day after she put on the Prometheus suit.
“Ok then on to the party then.”
“What party are you talking about Oliver it are just us here at the farm” asked Clark.
“You didn’t do something I’m going to be embarrassed by Oliver.”
“No boy-scout just a little bar hopping and fun night out with the boys I promise no stripers involved at all.”
“Hey my wife would kill me for doing something like that I’ve gotten attached to all my body parts in there current location I have no desire to have them rearranged for any reason, thank you very much” replied Clark.
“Remind me to teach you how to cut loose some time” said Oliver as they walked to the table where the cards were set up.
I really messed up badly Somehow I forgot to post two chapters that are key parts of the story Around the World and Homeward Bound. My apologies for taking so long to catch this oversite, as a friend of mine once said it not the lack of drugs its the lack of quality drugs. Without further a due. 11/29/14

Chloe has been talking to Lana for a couple of weeks now about how she needs to get a dress for the upcoming wedding. Lana has been dragging her feet and it has been making Chloe crazy.
Chloe sits in her home office at Sherwood the new estate of the Queen’s she really had a issue with Oliver calling the place Sherwood but she was getting used to it after she made the green archer take down the robin hood statues either side of the main gates.
Chloe thought to herself even Batman doesn’t have bats all over Wayne manor her husband just didn’t get subtlety very well, she just smiled at the thought.
Ok back to Lana, Chloe picks up her phone and speed dials a frequently called number “hey girlfriend what are you doing today’ was Chloe’s first question.
Lana answered “hi Chloe, actually today is a day where I don’t have much going on?”
“I was going to hound you about getting a dress you know the wedding is less than six weeks away. Have you at least picked out invitations yet?”
“Um well not yet Clark wants to pay for everything and the budget is kind of small, Clark doesn’t make that much yet at the Daily Planet so were going to have a small wedding it looks like.”
“What says Chloe, this is the guy who saves people everyday and doesn’t ask for anything in return ever. I will have to have a talk with Mister Clark Kent about this.”
Lana says “Clark is pretty set about this Chloe.”
“Set or not I will not have my two best friends who deserve much better, leave mister cheapo to me Lana. You might own his heart but I still know how to appeal to his brain. So back to my original question what are you doing today?”
“Well nothing really important unless an emergency comes up and Clark needs help”
“So you’re free for the day” asks Chloe?
“Yes” is Lana’s answer
“How fast can you get over here to Sherwood?”
“Let’s see its about 120 miles right so that should be like a couple minutes at most.”
“Ok, get here now.”
“Let me get my purse and phone and I’m on the way.”
Less than three minutes later Lana is ringing the front door bell. Chloe hit the door buzzer and the intercom “Lana come on in and welcome to Sherwood.”
“Turn right at the second archway that will lead to the kitchen and family room were I’m at” said Chloe.
Lana was impressed this place is huge like 24000 sq. ft. it’s almost unbelievable that Chloe was two years ago living above the talon in her old apartment but now she is in a mega house mansion. Lana shook her head in amazement how things have changed for all of them. As soon as Lana found her right she entered the kitchen and beyond was the family room with Chloe.
‘Chloe this place is huge, how many people do you have for house staff.”
“It’s just me and Oliver we have a cleaning staff that comes in twice a week otherwise it just the Queens. Oliver always hated having people waiting on him so when we moved here he didn’t hire anyone. His parent’s house still has a staff and we went there last year for a meeting of some kind, yet no one lives there anymore.”
“Well I talked some sense into Clark I got him to see that his friends want to be part of the life that you two are starting and that means we are going to have a wedding not huge but around 100 or so people.”
Lana was speechless she didn’t know what to say only Chloe could get through Clarks thick head sometimes she said a silent prayer of thanks she really wanted Clark to have great memories of getting married.
She looked at Chloe “how did you pull that trick off?”
“Simple I told him his wife deserves to be lavished and fawned over. I told him that his friends would be pissed forever if he didn’t invite them to share your guy’s happiest moment.”
“Ok” said Lana not knowing what else to say.
Chloe grabbed Lana’s arm “you and I are going to get a couple of days of girl time in; we have 40 minutes to get to the airport.”
Lana's jaw dropped in shock and surprise “Huh”, said Lana “airport, where are we going?” “We are going shopping and you are getting a wedding dress I set the appointment. We are expected this afternoon.”
“But Chloe I don’t have any clothes with me.”
“That’s fine we can buy some there and wear them home ok let’s get going.”
“Hold on a second I have to call Clark and tell him…”
Chloe looked at Lana and said “I’ve already done that, you’re going missy and you’re going to have fun check your text messages you should have one from Clark any second.
Seconds later Lana’s phone went off it was a message from Clark “baby I love you I have been a fool our friends demand to be part of our life’s and if I won't let them attend our wedding they won't ever talk to me again, I can’t have that; so enjoy your trip. If I can get away I might stop in and visit you and Chloe, have a good time I love you Lana.”
Lana texted back “I love you too are you really sure about this?”
Clark replied with only one word, “yes.”
“Ok Chloe I guess were going on a shopping trip” smiled Lana.
Chloe said “lets get the limo out front and we can go.” Moments later the two women climbed into the limo and Chloe told James’ the driver “airport please.”
James replied with “yes Chloe” and away they went.
A Shopping They Will Go
When they arrived at the airport they entered through the private aviation section, they were meet by Clark and Oliver “hey ladies enjoy your trip” said Oliver giving Chloe a kiss then hugging Lana.
Clark kissed Lana and gave her a small carry on bag. Holding her tight he said in a low whisper “I packed a few things for you.” He kissed her deeply and said “I love you have a good time don’t worry about anything.”
Lana was surprised to see this change in Clarks plans for their wedding. She asked “are you really ok with the wedding list getting bigger.”
“After Chloe got done with me; I felt like a heel, so yes I’m ok with the expanding list. I trust you to pick out what ever you want and desire, you and our friends are more important than anything else. I love you Lana I’ll see you at home in two days.” Clark gave Lana one of those toe curling kisses that just melted her heart and left her very excited craving more, much more.
Oliver hugged Chloe and passionate kissed her then talked to the pilot before they closed up the plane and taxied off to the ramp.
“Well Clark we have two days with no woman around what do you think party time or what?”
“Come on Oliver you know me better than that by now I’ll take Lana over any party any day.”
“You wouldn’t be you without that answer I just wanted to check and see if anything else changed with Chloe talking you into having a bigger wedding.”
“You know Oliver the thing that made me change my mind is Chloe telling me that Lana waited for this forever and went through hell to get where we are today and she deserves to have a wedding to remember and if I didn’t like it, well too damn bad, deal with it. I didn’t know what to say. Lana does deserve to have something special so I owe you both.”
Oliver smiled and said “it’s ok, it’s the thing friends do for each other Clark.”
The men watched the Queen jet take off and lift into the sky, Oliver looked at Clark “that’s our que to head out and back to work.”
“Yea me too, back to the desk and Lois joy of joys”….
As soon as the captain turned off the seatbelt light Chloe offered Lana decaf coffee which she gladly took, “I’ve got to know where we are going Chloe.”
“How about a shopping trip to New York City. Maybe picking out a wedding dress, shoes, and veil for you Lana.”
Lana just looked shocked.
“We’ll meet with the designer when we land then some time wondering around then a relaxing evening. Followed by a spa day consisting of massage, relaxation, and pampering then a short trip home.”
“Chloe you shouldn’t have done that.”
“Sorry, too bad I made all the arrangement and its set in stone. We my friend are going to have fun so get used to it.” Lana just didn’t know what to say she just smiled ear to ear.
The jet touched down less than 2 hours later at a private airfield reserved only for business class jets, the ladies then loaded on to a helicopter for the trip to midtown. The chopper touched down on the heli pad of the Waldorf Astoria hotel where the women would be staying. Chloe and Lana handed over their small overnight bags. They were lead to their suite overlooking Central Park both Lana and Chloe drank in the view.
Chloe finally has enough “hey Lana we need to get going or we will be late for your appointment with the designer.”
“Your not going to tell me who it is are you” asked Lana?
Chloe smiled and said “let’s go already.”
They took the elevator down to the lobby and headed off to the front concierge desk a smart looking young woman looks up from the desk “ah Mrs. Queen nice to see you again your limo is waiting outside see the bell captain he will point you to the correct limo.”
“Thank you Alice” said Chloe.
Lana is impressed her long time friend and confidant; she has grown up a lot in the last year she is happy they are together again and are friends. They arrive in midtown west in a little while and are ushered into a very modern looking building. Lana was completely surprised when she saw the name on the office as she and Chloe entered Vera Wang Design’s. Lana wore only Vera Wang once before in her life and that was the night she and Clark danced at the prom Lana thought only Chloe would remember who my favorite designer was.
Chloe walked over to the reception desk with Lana following closely. The lady behind the desk asked them both to sign in and greeted them with “welcome to Vera Wang Designs Mrs. Queen and I presume this is Ms. Lang” asked the receptionist?
Lana was impressed these folks had it together. Moments later a lady walked out up to greet Lana and Chloe “hi I’m Vera you must be Lana Lang” she looked in Lana’s direction.
Lana said “Yes that’s me it’s a real pleasure to meet you Ms. Wang I have been a fan of your fashion designs for years.”
“Please call me Vera, and thank you, your most kind to say that. Shall we enter the design studio Ladies” said Vera.
They went through double doors on the right and saw several people busily working on different garments there were white boards everywhere and cameras to capture almost any image anyone would want. They sat next to a table that Vera pointed to she asked “what kind of a dress are you looking for Lana?”
Lana had given some thought to what she wanted by looking in the various bride magazines. She told Vera that she was looking for something along the traditional lines as well as she was pregnant and would be three months along when the ceremony would be held. Vera started writing things down on a tablet.
Lots of lace, or strategic lace, long train, or short train, length, hem, line color, and the questions continued for about fifteen minutes. The entire time she had been writing things down and making notations on the tablet. Vera finally saved the information and opened a starting design for Lana to consider. There were several dresses that looked ok but just weren’t exactly what she had in mind. Vera suggested they try a couple of the dresses to get a feel for what she wanted Lana and Chloe both thought this was an awesome idea.
They were escorted into a changing room area with rack after rack of wedding gowns. Lana was ecstatic and Chloe was impressed. Lana’s first trial dress was a long line traditional which she liked. Some of the features were ok but she wasn’t all that happy over all with it. After about 15 or so dresses Vera looked over at the two ladies and said “you know I have a design that didn’t make it into production so I only have the one dress but thinking about it there is a good chance this dress is exactly what you’re wanting Lana”.
Lana’s face lit up. A wedding gown that might just be what she wanted. An assistant brought over the gown in question. She got instantly excited the second she saw the gown. Lana had been getting concerned that even with a brand designer she wouldn’t find a dress. As Lana got into the dress the first thing she noticed it fit like a glove there was a little room but not much and it had everything she wanted in a wedding gown. Lana was falling for this dress before even seeing it on her once she was buttoned into the gown she walked over to the small platform they had in the changing room she looked at it in the mirror the front was perfect and what she could see of the back it was the perfect dress she fell in love with it on the spot.
Lana called Chloe over “hey I think this is the one what do you think Chloe” Lana asked?
“Wow that is the right dress for you Lana it looks awesome on you.”
The wedding dress Lana fell in love with is a white elegant classic shaped gown with its strapless fitted bodice with floral embroidery that adorns the bodice. Also veiled lacquer-print irises on organza material which is magnificent layered on top. It's a sheer fabric layered over the skirt of the gown it's so beautifully transparent it just looks decadent. The skirt of the gown is a very full skirt that brushes the floor. The train is a chapel train long and gorgeous. The back of the gown has satin buttons leading up to a very sexy low cut back. Lana felt so elegant and regal as she wore the wedding gown which fit her like a glove, just like it had been exclusively designed for her. The gown perfectly showed off her beautiful curves to the exact degree certain to drive Clark wild.
Lana asked if they had a veil that went with this gown. Vera’s assistant replied we don’t normally do veils but we have the material some clients ask if we can custom make one to match their gown. Lana crossed her fingers before asking the next question Chloe noticed Lana’s crossed her fingers and chuckled to herself. Lana looked at Vera and asked if they had any material that had Irises in the design, now it was Vera’s turn to chuckle “well we just got some in the other day would you like to see a sample.”
Once the bolt of material was brought out it was exactly what Lana wanted, netting with a appliqué of a iris. Lana asks for a certain length and that the irises be draped down both sides and the bottom edge of the veil. Vera says “shouldn’t be any problem we can make that up in a half hour can you wait” asked Vera?
The ladies both say yes at the same time, Lana adds “I want to wear this gown for a while longer I really love it a lot.”
They finished the veil bring it to Lana to try. The veil has an iris border along the sides perfectly complimenting the timeless classic gown. Lana is exceedingly happy with the shopping trip that’s two items off the list.
The next stop was more fun than either of the friends expected. Chloe and Lana went a little crazy in the La Perla boutique on fifth avenue, after looking at all the wedding lingerie Lana found something very sexy to wear under her gown a El Color Rojo white slip with matching panties with a garter belt the slip was stretch tulle sheer slip embellished with leavers lace having elegant macramé roses line the décolletage. The slip had to be modified by the designer to work correctly with the built in bra in the gown but that was a small issue.
Poor Clark will have no idea what hit him when he gets to help her undress later. She couldn’t resist, the wedding lingerie was going to be the appetizer, and she had another outfit picked out for the consummation of their wedding night she bought a red Maison camisole top with matching tap pant and a plain black silk robe to hide what she would be wearing. Chloe was having way too much fun helping Lana; she even got caught up in the spirit of things picking several matching sets for her and Oliver to enjoy later. Lana bought sixteen outfits that day and something equally special for each evening.
There was bed time to be considered too and those outfits had to be something to surly get Clarks blood boiling. Chloe just laughed and laughed. “If Clark survives the honeymoon he will have truly earned his title “man of steel” Chloe told Lana, they both cracked up at that.
Neither woman thought that they would be able to keep a straight face when someone said “the man of steel” ever again. When Chloe and Lana were done the sales associate had just became the top performer in sales for the month. The ladies had their purchases sent to their hotel and the El Color Rojo slip was sent by courier to Vera Wang Designs to be modified.
The one item that they didn’t do yet was the shoes Lana wanted a pump she could wear and not have to learn how to walk in. Chloe has just gotten some shoes from a European designer Manolo Blahnik who was very exclusive she showed the designers web site to Lana and they talked about shoes and what they had to have in the limo on the way back to the hotel. Manolo Blahnik, the elegant master of women's shoe design his boutique is in London. Chloe had a few hours to wait until she could call in her order but she would take care of that from the hotel. Chloe ordered Lana satin embellished white pumps with crystal-beaded vine appliqué on the front and side of the each shoe they had sexy 3 inch heels they were custom made for Lana. They will look superb with the wedding gown.
All in all the two women had a wonderful day together they decided it was time for something to eat and then hangout for the evening ready to attend the spa the next day. The ladies retired to their hotel and ordered room service. They were both tired from the busy afternoon and went to bed early.
The next morning found them up early and ready to go after a very nice room service breakfast. Chloe drank two cups of espresso to get her going for some reason the hotels coffee just didn’t have the kick she needed. They arrived for their spa day at 9 AM convenient that the spa was in the Waldorf where they were staying. The ladies had a full day engagement with different treatments Chloe just wanted to try and didn’t want to try them alone so she was glad she could enjoy them with Lana.
Lana and Chloe finished their day at 4:30 relaxed, massaged, and pampered like neither small town girl had ever experienced. Lana thanked Chloe for the shopping trip and the spa experience. Lana had thought she had at least paid for her own lingerie but sneaky Chloe had the La Perla store refund all the charges back to Lana’s card and put the charges on hers. She wasn’t about to let her friend pay for anything.
Both Lana and Chloe ate a light meal on the jet home. They arrived in Grandville much to Lana’s surprise Chloe told her it’s easier for her to get home from here for her. While the friends were exchanging hugs and thanks Clark stuck his head in the door of the jet asking if Lana was ready to get back to life in Kansas. Lana jumped into Clarks arms and hugged and kissed him “I missed you so much I had fun but I missed you.”
Clark smiled and winked at Chloe “I missed you to baby its been a long two days for me.”
Clark holding on to Lana turned to Chloe and said “I owe you and Oliver so much I have no idea how I’ll ever repay what you two are doing for us but somehow some way that will happen someday.
Chloe smiled at Clark “Clark this is what friends do for friends. You owe me nothing and I won't put up with talk about repayment, got it!”
Lana whispered into Clark’s ear “honey I think you can’t win this one.”
Clark just shrugged. “How many bags do you have Lana” he asked?
“I bought two new suit cases to fit everything into, oh, the best part was that I found the perfect dress just like it was designed just for me and the designer is sending one of her assistants to make any final adjustments to the dress the week before the wedding when they bring the dress out to us.”
“Cool” said Clark “so I get to see the dress.”
Lana replied with “no silly its bad luck for the groom to see the brides dress before the wedding silly man.”
“Here are your bags” as the attendant handed Clark 3 bags.
“Chloe once again thanks for everything and I’m off to load these into the truck” Lana hugged Chloe once more and followed Clark off the plane.
Chloe was sad to see her friends leave but she was looking forward to seeing her archer. The attendant closed the door and asked Chloe to return to her seat so the plane can taxi and take off she figured that they would land on the private air field outside metropolis in 25 minutes at the most she would be happy to see Oliver and tell him how the first part of their plan worked so far.
The wedding gown arrived as scheduled exactly a week before the wedding the surprise was a Natalie Briggs personally custom designed ultimate heirloom garter. Vintage style beaded white lace on a soft band of white satin, with beautiful irises and intricate bead work.
Lana found a note in the box from Vera it read. “Lana thank you for choosing me for your gown you were such a great client I decided to ask my friend Natalie to make a garter for your wedding day. May you have a long and very happy marriage, all my best, Vera.”
Lana thought that was one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for her. Lana laughed a little ‘a long and happy marriage’ it was just funny to her at that moment for some reason.

Five weeks later Bachelor and Bachelorette parties
Clark and Lana wanted to have a small quiet intimate ceremony for friends and family. Well the friends and family list got a lot longer than expected along with Clarks frown. Martha told Clark to suck it up this is for friends and family. Besides it was for Lana so deal with it.
Lana had a stunning wedding gown from Vera Wang; she stuck with a gown with a higher waist line because she was pregnant and didn’t want her condition to be the talk of the town gossips. Lana wanted to have people talk about the wedding not the bride. She’s been down that road; she didn’t need to revisit her past.
The day before the bride and groom spent with their close respective friends talking about old times and the future. Neither the bride nor the groom had any interest of get falling down drunk and doing something stupid.
Oliver pulled Clark aside “hey buddy what’s up,” seeing the intense look on Clarks face.
“I’m ok, just looking forward to being married like you and Chloe” replied Clark.
“Did anything really change for you guys” asked Clark?
Oliver gets this pensive look on his face “well the only thing that changed for me is I get to wake up every morning next to this beautiful woman everyday of the rest of my life. I love Chloe more today than the day before we got married, none of us are very clear on the how and why but it happened and I wouldn’t change a thing if that’s what you’re asking Clark.”
Clark thinks for a few moments and says “well so nothing changed then ok I get it, I just want to make sure that the rest of my life with Lana is open and I share all of me with her.”
“Jesus Clark, you make marriage sound like it was the best thing invented ever.”
“Well Oliver I know I’ve never been happier than now and with the upcoming event I can’t imagine life getting much better.”
“I should hook you up with Eharmony as their new spokesperson,” fires Oliver smiling.
Clark shakes his head. “Mentioning jobs I think I’m going to have a problem with Lois she has been acting strange the last few days in-fact ever since I told her about us getting married do you think she will cause any problems?”
“Knowing Lois as I do I would say yes expect something, better yet why don’t I get a couple of my security people here to see that things don’t get derailed?”
“Well if it gets out of hand I’ll take your help” said Clark. “Oliver what happens if she won’t back off she has a connection to all of us I don’t want her hurt but if she is a threat to Lana or my family something will have to be done.”
“I’ll have Chloe talk with her and feel out where she thinks that Lois is at mentally with you and Lana getting married but why would she be so concerned with you getting married?”
“Unless she found out about the altered time lines and has seen something that says things should be different like the time line where I erased Lana’s death and pushed her into the arms of that Luthor bastard.”
“Clark lets not talk about that scum he’s not worth mentioning he’s gone and a part of all our pasts, let dead dogs lie in their graves they have no place with us in the land of the living. If she causes you issues I’ll take care of it, I know Chloe wouldn’t want anyone other than family to take care of Lois.”
“Hey on a lighter subject I was wondering if you might be interested in working in a team environment. I was talking to the boys the other night about forming a team to take out villains and other bad guys delivering them and the evidence to the authorities. No more taking the law in our own hands it’s going to be by the rules and only by the laws of the land. We take them down collect the evidence and hand them over to the appropriate authorities’ simple and straight forward.”
“That takes a new view for you Oliver I guess that means your changing your ways, nice to see you’re going by the rules now instead of taking the law in you own hands. I guess this is where I say I’m proud of you for making the right choice Oliver.”
“Thanks Clark” said Oliver.
“Also I have a question for you are you really happy working at the daily planet I mean really happy you know what I mean? I was wondering if you might be interested in bring some of that wonderful technology that is locked up in your head to the people of earth not the dangerous stuff but small things that would make life better for people kind of thing. Tell you what; just think about it once in a while. You don’t owe me an answer until you’re ready to talk to me about it how about that?”
“What is it you think a reporter can do for you Oliver; I’m not following you here my friend.”
“Ok if you worked for me say every couple of years you could invent something that would help people out and Queen industries would manufacture it so there is no direct path to you and you will have more time with Lana and your other job. Clark just think about it please; get back to me if you think it’s a good idea. Ok so no pressure, I know your happy doing your current gig so I do not want to upset what you have going on in your life and Lana’s. My question is please consider my offer it has no expiration ever. Once you work for me I believe you will be very happy with what you can do personally and professionally. Hell you could even free lance once in a while like Chloe does.”
Clark just stood there considering Oliver’s words he knew that Oliver was a man of his word so this could be something the happy couple could use as a backup plan if nothing else. Clark looked at Oliver and said “I’ll think it over and talk to Lana about it as well. That’s the best I can do for now ok?”
Oliver looked relieved that Clark took the information at all instead of an outright dismissal. “That’s all I can ask buddy” said Oliver
“Getting back to our prior discussion what made you change and thought up this team thing in the first place” asked Clark.
“Well I think it might be something you said to my wife a long time ago. My friend you know how determined my wife can be, so it sounded like a good idea when she told me about this group of super hero’s doing good and fighting for the good guys.”
“So what was it that I said exactly?”
“Ummm something like you can’t be everywhere for everybody all the time you recall saying that to Chloe” asked Oliver.
“Uh maybe something like that.”
“I’ve always been a solo act but it would be nice to have back up.”
“How many people are you talking to already?” asked Clark.
“Well today it’s, so far me, Bart, Victor, AC, Myrna, You and Lana that is if you decide to join, Lana already did.”
“Wait a second Lana already did?”
“Yea just got the text a few minutes ago sorry to be the one to tell you your wife thought it was a great idea”
“Man, ok count both of us in Oliver.”
Oliver didn’t bother telling Clark that Lana has been a member from the day after she put on the Prometheus suit.
“Ok then on to the party then.”
“What party are you talking about Oliver it are just us here at the farm” asked Clark.
“You didn’t do something I’m going to be embarrassed by Oliver.”
“No boy-scout just a little bar hopping and fun night out with the boys I promise no stripers involved at all.”
“Hey my wife would kill me for doing something like that I’ve gotten attached to all my body parts in there current location I have no desire to have them rearranged for any reason, thank you very much” replied Clark.
“Remind me to teach you how to cut loose some time” said Oliver as they walked to the table where the cards were set up.
