This is my VERY first fic so please be kind and review...kindly. I will warn you ahead of time; some of the chapters are very short. Sorry. It's safe to say I own neither Clark, Lex, Smallville, or anyone in the TV show or otherwise. I just thought it would be a nice story, seeing how close Christmas is anyway. No spoilers.

Lex sat at his desk, running through the latest Luthorcorp paperwork. "Sir?" A bodyguard.

"Yes?" Lex asked.

"Sir, some visitors are here." The man's voice sounded strangely...choked.

"Send them in," Lex said impatiently, leaning back in his chair.

"Um…sir, they absolutely insist on you coming down here."

Lex rolled his eyes. "I'm on my way." He logged off and closed his computer, draining his cup of scotch before continuing downstairs.

Sorry 'twas so short, I'll write longer ones in the future, I promise. Now please review.
