I am in Lena's secret lab looking at a dog and an alien animal

They are in one cage each behind a plastic barrier keeping them from hurting each other

They are snarling at each other

I don't get it. I said

I haven't done anything yet. She said with a smile

But what are you going to do? I asked as I walked over to her and put my hands on her waist

Then she pushed a button on the tablet and the animals eyes glowed green

What the hell. I said

Go pull the barrier out. She said and I did

Instead of the dog and alien fighting they got along

I smiled

Well, isn't that cute? I wasn't aware a Maladorian Dendroasp could show any restraint. Lex said when he walked in

Well, you two share a lot in common. Lena said and I chuckled

Just like your boyfriend. Lex said

He's my husband. Lena said

Right. Non Nocere does what god couldn't. Turns the most ferocious animal instincts into "do no harm." So far, all of your animal trials have produced perfect results. Lex said

Yeah, but the human brain is far more complex and I've yet to test it to see that it's working just as perfectly. Can't have any critics bouncing on any mistakes. Lena said as she started typing on a keyboard

Hmm. That has a bit of a personal ring to it. Let me guess. Your biggest critic is a kryptonian? Lex asked

Before Crisis, when I tried using Myriad, she assumed that I was trying to mind control people. Her and her friends think I'm going down the dark path. Lena said

No they don't Lena, that's what you think they think, and if you think that then maybe you're more like Lex than you thought, Myriad was designed to mind control people and to be fair you did trap Kara using kryptonite to get it, are their suspensions really far? I asked

Whose side are you on? Lena asked

No one's, because I love each person on both sides, Kara is my best friend she helped me when I was at my worst, but you are my wife, and you saved me just like she has, I love you both, I can't choose either one of you because if I do I'm losing the other. I said

And I would never make you choose. She said

Lena this project is amazing, and I love you for trying to save the world with your smarts and not any power, but you'd be taking away free will, if you use this on a person who is truly good, you'd probably be changing them or hurting them. I said

And I love you for supporting me, and for helping the world. She said

Great, you both love each other, Theo, can you leave for a second so I can talk to my sister. Lex said

I looked at him

Give us a second. Lena said to me and she kissed me

Sure. I said and I left

Skip

Me and Lena are at a prison that her family owns

I am in a black suit with my arms crossed as we look through a window in a different room

All of these men volunteered? Lena asked

They did. It's a cross-section of inmates from the most violent to those who are afraid of their own shadow. The warden said as me and Lena walked into the room the prisoners were in he followed us

Then I saw a small bald man bump into a tall man that had so much hair

What are you looking at? The man with hair asked

Nothing, nothing. I'm sorry, Toby. The bald man said and Toby pushed the bald man against a cement beam and held him there

I walked over and pulled Toby off him and pushed him towards guards

Are you all right? Lena asked the bald man

The second I saw her show sympathy I fell in love with her even more if that was possible

It's nothing. That was practically a high five, considering what he does to me most days. The bald man said

How do you cope? Lena asked

It's prison. Guys like me don't stand a chance. Five years in here taught me that. But maybe after your trials, I will have to worry. I've heard you're trying to turn them peaceful as quakers. If you succeed, that'd be a real godsend for guys like me, Lena Luthor. The bald man said

Let's get started. Lena said

Then we turned around and walked away

Skip

The tests have started we are doing it on everyone at a time

Non Nocere program uploading. Let's see if this works. Lena said and all their eyes turned green

Gentlemen, stand and remove your lenses. The warden said and the men stood up and removed the VR lenses

Then Toby looked at the bald man

Yo, Steve, come here. Toby said and Steve walked closer to him thinking he was going to get hit

Do you wanna grab some grub? Toby asked

Uh, sure, Toby... That would be lovely. Steve said

Yeah. Toby said and walked away

They all started to walk past us and when Steve passed Lena he whispered something

You're a genius. Steve whispered

I put my hand on her lower back and she smiled at me

Skip

We are still here at the prison

We are watching through the window

Toby is walking up to Steve

Hi, Steve. Toby said while holding a deck of cards

I'm sorry, I'm sorry... for whatever I did. Steve said

Everything okay? Toby asked

No, it's not. Steve said as he got up from the bench he was sitting on

I'm not okay! Steve yelled and tried to punch Toby but it's like his mind stopped him

He started shaking

Then he screamed in pain

We ran into the room and over to Steve

Steve laid down on the bench while screaming

Steve! Steve! Lena yelled while running over to him and she put her hand on his back

Get a medic! Lena yelled

Skip

I'm gonna keep an eye on the other prisoners to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else, come get me when you're ready to go. I said to Lena

Okay. She said and I walked out the infirmary

Skip

I just helped Kara stop an alien from killing people and now I am flying into Kara's apartment

Hey. Kara and Alex said

Hey. I said and I walked over and stole some food off Kara's plate and she punched me

I thought you were with Lena. Alex said

No, she's working, I'm about to head home after this. I said

So why are you here? Kara asked

What, I can't come see my best friend and her very scary sister who I love very much. I said

Thank you. Alex said with a smile

You're welcome. Alright, the baby sitter is done for the night so now I have to go. I said

Have fun. Kara said

Sure. I said and I flew out
