So the Omegas can shrink things as well?! Seems like any time I feel like I have a handle on their capabilities I get thrown for a loop. My natural inclination is that this ability must be somewhat limited, otherwise why not just shrink offenders to Beta sized.
Claire will probably be a tough one mostly because of this acceptance that it’s alright for Claire to treat her like she’s nothing, just like it’s okay for Stephanie to treat Betas like their nothing. Still there was a crack in the demeanor when the subject of the beta that died came up. I’m assuming she escaped punishment either because it was an accident, or she was just too young. Will be interesting to gain some details, even if they’re not dropped immediately.

Hahahahahah~
I'd expect details sooner rather than later on it.

This is going good. Put in some sex and insertion and this will be the best story.

I had Stephanie pegged as a psychopath due to her lack of empathy. Seems like her flat affect is the result of a traumatic incident in her childhood. Her lack of caring is in fact a defense mechanism.
This makes the eye for an eye discipline a little more troubling. Someone like Stephanie should also be getting some counseling. I don't know if Claire is up for that or not. Interesting that Stephanie doesn't see herself as a hypocrite. Are Omegas hypocritical for punishing Alphas in the same way that they don't want Alphas treating Betas? (Especially if the eating Alphas who ate Betas part is true. Kind of like spanking a child for hitting their sibling.) -pardon this analysis, it's just my educational background in developmental psychology spilling out.
On the subject of Omegas, compression shrinking is a new ability. I assume the mass remains the same to make her proportionally more durable for the ride?
Author's Response:
I'll just say that Stephanie (and Naomi) are very, very lucky they were transferred over to Claire's custody. You are not off the mark on the "eye for an eye" issue. I will say, since it's not really a spoiler or anything, that Omegas do not go out looking for Alphas to harm. They're a purely reactive force when it comes to them.
That is a good assumption.

I think Stephanie's views will change soon and this is just the first session.
How often is Claire going to visit her brother in this story? Chapter 4 had so much emotion and chemistry.
That I think should be visited again a couple of times, depending on how long your planning on making this story.
Author's Response:
There will be more between them, but it will probably be a while. I have a bit more I want to do, and then I'm going to skip forward a bit in time so Corey can actually be mobile and open up a lot more options for interaction.

Compression is an apt name for this chapter and it probably references whatever Claire did to shrink Stephanie. I don’t think that shrinking process is perfect or even allowed outside disciplinary action. I can see how that could be abused otherwise. I also wonder if that’s Claire’s natural ability or some technology allows her to do that.
Stephanie seems to subscribe to the typical giantess size based Darwinism where the small should be at the whim of the large and that’s just the way things are even if she’s the small one compared to Claire. Whatever she did eight years ago seems to have heavily influenced why she has that way of thinking.

Wait, how? Omegas can shrink people? If they can do that, why not grow Betas to be equal in size to Alphas and reduce the chances of incidents like this from happening? Would that not make things better?
Stephanie is well...she killed someone and I would love to know what transpired eight years ago and if she will feel any remorse for killing that Beta. She clearly looks down on Betas and can't even fathom how a god like being like Claire can think of Corey as an equal but I hope Claire can induce a change in her.
Even so, I think Marion will fall the farthest and hardest, nothing Naomi or Stephanie receives will compare to her.
I think I am falling in love with Claire, loving sister, soccer star, so beautiful and loving and she doesn't seem to buy into the whole "being bigger means I can do whatever I want to you" belief that Stephanie and Marions believes in.
Author's Response:
Hahah, I've been waiting for this chapter to show this off.
As some later commenters have surmised, it's not a perfect process on either end. Everett will answer why the Betas aren't enlarged a few chapters from now, and it's a position that mirrors my own stance on the hypothetical matter.
I'm looking forward to developing Stephanie further.
I would not bet against you on Marion.

I thoroughly enjoy your balancing act between sweet loving and vindictive angel of punishment Claire.
