   Summary

   General Sam Lane has never liked Superman, or trusted him. When news of the Quantum Unfolding Chamber becomes public, he sees the perfect opportunity to drive a wedge between his daughter and the alien she loves. With the help of Lex Luthor, he devises a plan to isolate Clark, turn the people he loves against him, and push him past his breaking point. What follows leaves Clark questioning his worth, his place, and everything he's ever meant to the world, and her.
