Okay, this is my first attempt at a Smallville fanfiction, tell me if you like it or not. No flames, please. I don't feel like listening to some idiot rant and rave about how my story doens't follow the Smallville story lines. I really don't care. Anyways...enjoy!
Lex sipped his coffee at the Talon, reading his newspaper. Apparently some rich family had moved into Smallville and it was stirring up trouble. Like when Luthorcorp moved into Smallville. Apparently, the father of the family, Derrick Rubix, had twin daughters, among other children. Exactly identical, nearly impossible to tell them apart Derrick was a corporate business owner with a bug business like Luthorcorp called America Inc. Ami was a natural born leader, but had a rebellious streak in her. She was most likely to run the family business when her father died, which probably wasn't going to be long. He was fifty and had a history of heart problems. People didn't like her much, like people didn't like Lex much. It was all because of Ami's father. Katrina, Ami's twin, was wild, very outgoing and sometimes reckless. She partied all night, sometimes didn't come back until late the next morning. Both were clever and cunning, and if you had dirt on either one of them, you disappeared. Lex smirked, reminding himself of his father, and sometimes, Lex himself.
"Can I get you more coffee, Lex?" Lana asked, and Lex put down his paper.
"No, actually, just give me the check. I have a meeting I need to be at by ten thirty, and its almost ten now. Oh, by the way, if you see Chloe, tell her to take a look at today's paper, if she hasn't already. There's a story in there that might intrigue her." Lex said, and Lana nodded and walked off.
"Hey, Lex. How's it going?" Clark asked, sitting down at the table beside Lex. Lex smiled and showed Clark the paper, which had a picture of Derrick and his two daughters. His smiled widened when Clark's eyebrows shot up. Truth be told, he thought the same thing Clark was right now.
"Wow…is it just me, or did it get really hot in here?" Clark asked, looking around.
"I think its just you Clark, the temperature in here is fine." Lana chose that moment to grace them with her presence. Clark blushed and looked away and Lex took the check from Lana. He handed her a ten dollar bill (coffee plus more than 15 tip) and stood.
"Well, I've got to go, business calls. See you later, Clark, I'll-"Lex stopped as two young ladies entered the room. Ami and Katrina. Both were wearing the same dress, a sleeveless black dress which ended right above their knees and was cut low, but decently low. Both carried identical dark blue messenger bags and both had their hair tied up in braids in the same way. The only difference was Ami's eyes were a bright green, where Katrina's were blue. Both had raven black hair, both were the same height, and both were looking right at Lex, Clark and Lana.
"Hi, I'm Ami Rubix, this is my sister Katrina. I heard this was a great place to go in town if someone wanted a good cup of coffee." Ami said to Lana who unlike Lex and Clark, wasn't staring dumbstruck at the two ladies. Lex was doing a better job hiding it than Clark.
"Whoever said that was right, you're in luck, and we're not that full today. Pick a seat and I'll get right with you." Lana said, picking up Lex's cup and taking it back to the kitchen.
"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't Lex Luthor. Who's your friend here, Lex?" Katrina asked, sitting down and crossing her legs at the ankles. Lex regained his composure and opened his mouth to reply.
"This is Clark Kent, he and I were just on our way out. He's got to get back home. I've got a business meeting. If you'll excuse us, ladies, we've got to go." Lex grabbed Clark and booked it, heading towards his BMW. Clark stumbled along beside him, turning to watch Lana walk up to the table.
"Lex, wait. I'm pretty sure I don't need you pulling me out of here. I can walk on my own. What's with you, anyways?" Clark asked, and Lex took a deep breath.
"Ami and Katrina are, without doubt, two of the most beautiful individuals I have ever met. And God help me Clark, if you repeat those words to anyone I'll-"Clark laughed, although kind of nervously.
"I agree with you there, Lex. Very beautiful. And not in the way that makes you want to just date them…kind of in the way that you want to bring them home to your parents. Did I just say that?" Clark asked, and Lex chuckled.
"Anyway, Clark, I've got to go. If you want, you can come by my house later, and we can have a manly talk about beautiful women." Lex got in his car, and motioned for Clark to do the same.
"Come on, I've got time to kill, I'll take you home."
"So how about that Kent kid? Pretty cute, eh? In that farm boy manor, anyways. " Ami asked, and Katrina made a face.
"He's cute, but I can tell he's not my type. He seems too close to home for me. Now Lex on the other hand, what can I say? He's rich, powerful, handsome, and did you hear about what happened in Metropolis? That's my kind of person." Katrina said, and Ami shook her head.
"Hey Clark, Lex. What are you doing home? I thought you were going to the Talon." Martha Kent asked, sitting at the table when the two boys walked in.
"Yeah, about that…there were a couple of girls-"
"Let me guess. Really pretty girls that you got all tongue tied around and made yourself look like a fool in front of, and you didn't want to stick around? Does the same go for you, Lex, or did you keep your head?" Martha grinned. Clark just stood there, red faced, and Lex laughed.
"Right on the money, Mrs. Kent. Except for the fool part. We didn't exactly loose our cool, just kind of stood there."
"Staring" Clark added. He didn't like the look on his mother's face.
"And who would these girls be?" Jonathan asked, coming into the room. He had the paper in hand but hadn't read it yet.
"Ami and Katrina Rubix. They just moved into town, and were in the Talon today." Clark said, and Jonathan's eyebrows shot way up.
"Rubix? As in the daughters of Derrick Rubix, the owner, CEO and President of America Incorporated?" Martha said, and Clark nodded.
"Well. There's something you don't see everyday." Jonathan said, and Lex excused himself and left.
"No kidding. Dad, look at them. Their picture's in the paper. You have to admit, they are pretty. Well, drop dead gorgeous, but I wouldn't say that with mom in the room" He smiled at his mom, watching a small smile creep on her face.
"Well, I'll give you that, Clark. But you better watch out. Make sure their father doesn't find out who you are, Clark. He's just like Lionel. But I'm not going to judge the girls on their father until they do something that he would."
"Hey, daddy." Ami said, coming into Derrick's office. Or was it Katrina? He could hardly tell these days. They always dressed alike.
"Hello, sweetheart. What can I do for you?"
"Nothing. I just saw Lex Luthor at the Talon, this coffee shop downtown, today. He was with a friend of his, Clark Kent. Both really nice, Lex isn't anything like the papers make him out to be. He seems really nice, not the heartless bastard Lionel-" The office door slammed open and three young men walked in the room looking extremely pissed off.
"It's called knocking. Maybe you should try it, bro." Ami said, staring at her brother, Adrian.
"Why are you moving America Inc. into Smallville? Do you know how Luthorcorp is going to react to this?" Adrian said, and Katrina poked her head in the doorframe.
"Okay, which one of you did this? I could hear it all the way in my room. Marcus is too skinny, and Adrian wouldn't want to harm himself. Robert, was it you?" Katrina asked and Robert, a tall, muscled guy, shoved her out of the doorframe.
"Ami, out. Now." He ordered, and Ami's eyebrows shot up, her eyes daring him to challenge her. It was obvious to him she couldn't win.
Robert crossed the room and grabbed her arm, intending to forcefully evict her from the room, but Ami's high heeled foot spun around and caught Robert's shin. She grabbed his arm and twisted it at the same time, freeing herself from his grasp.
"I'm stronger than I look, Robert David Rubix. I could kill you right now if I wanted to. Don't mess with me, Robert. You will regret it." Ami growled, leaving the room. She picked up Katrina and pulled the office door shut behind her.
