Chapter 1: Painfully Bound
"So, tell me Meyers. Who else knows about your extraordinary.... gifts?" The older Luthor asked as he stepped into view.
She looked up at his words, her face torn between glimpses of pain and fear. She was on her knees, painfully bounded by chains that had been intentionally laced with meteor fragments. Thus making it impossible to try and escape also weaking her tolerance for pain. The younger Luthor across from her mirroring the same position, looking up expectantly waiting for her answer. "No one else knows." She croaked, looking up to see how Lionel would react. What she got was expected, a slow menacing grin spread across his face. She was always told that the Luthors were heartless, but she underestimated how far Lionel Luthor would go to get answers. From what she could remember he had changed alot over the years.
"Not even your family members? Tsk, tsk, tsk . It's very rude to keep secrets to yourself." Lex snorted at his fathers words. Both him and his father had secrets. Between them both they had more secrets than the Luthor's had money to their name. Secrets was what kept Lex from turning into what his father wanted him to be. Lex also knew the secret of the girl in front of him would bring people to their knees, but could also be dangerous when provoked. Lex inwardly cursed himself at the predicament he got himself in, wishing for once that he didnt have the natural curiosity about untouchable and dangerous subjects.
An Hour Earlier
Lex was on his way back from accompanying Clark to a basketball game in Metropolis and dinner when Lionel called about somthing important. Lex hated to leave Clark alone in the city, much less in the penthouse alone to find out what exactly his 'dear old dad' had considered important. Clark had sensed his indecision immediately and told him that he would be alright for a few hours. Lex made sure he knew his cell phone number if he needed anything and made his way to the LuthorCorp plant.
Lionel was waiting in his office when Lex arrived. His father looked pleased to see that he had accepted to join him though no emotions appeared on his face. After all these years he still had trouble reading his fathers emotions. Nevertheless he wasnt here to dissect his fathers facade but to humor his findings. He cut right to the chase saying he found something that might be of intrest to Lex and wanted to discuss how to proceed his testing on a certain 'subject'. Intrigued by his offer, Lex followed him to a so-called 'hidden' level of the plant. When stepping of the elevator Lex noticed that in order to enter this particular level you needed to have a master key. Lionel led him to an area and stood in front of a one-way mirror, he proceeded to tap a few keys and within seconds the room in which they were watching lit up. What Lex saw made his heart race and his blood boil, fear and anger were fighting to be released and anger eventually won.
