Chapter One
Clark doing his rounds as Superman let his mind wander. They always went back to one person Lex Luthor. It had been eight years since Clark had gone to see Lex in the hospital. Lex had always known about Clark's abilities but had never said anything not even after he was hurt.
Every night since then Lex had stared in all of his dreams, fantasies and nightmares. The fantasies even made him blush now as he thought about them. The nightmares had terror gripping his throat and ripping out his heart and the other were just of friendship and of love. Words whispered against his ear a promise of forever. A lifetime of love.
Lex had made huge differences in his life Clark had guessed that they were to do with his daughter Lillian. No one knew who the mother was or what happened to her but his now ten year old girl was Lex's everything. He had cleaned up LexCorp and stayed away from an illegal experimentation. Smallville was getting cleared on the Kryptonite.
Superman flew past the penthouse at least twice a night on his patrols and he always listened for Lex, Lillian or Lex's bodyguards Hope and Mercy. Lex was a prominent citizen, with everything that happened to him in Smallville Clark felt justified on checking to make sure Lex and his daughter were safe well that was what he told himself.
He'd never brought up Lex around his parents. They always seemed to get a strange look on their faces when he had tried to find out what happened during his amnesia. Clark still hadn't regained those memories. He had wanted to find out more after the hospital visit. Things didn't seem to fit together. Something was missing, something important. His parents weren't talking, neither were Chloe and Peter. Lex was avoiding it as well, Clark would have normally pushed but seeing the pain on the older man's face made Clark's heart ache with sympathy but he didn't know why?
Clark felt the pain rushing through his body. He collapsed hard to the ground in a heap. Veins turning a glowing green. Someone had meteor rock. The pain was getting worse, curled up in agony praying for someone to help him. There was a prick in his neck that he barely was aware off, then whoever had the rock moved away.
He had to go home to see his parents Clark was still feeling sick it should have gone almost immediately.

Lex had just put his daughter to bed when there was a telephone call.
Walking over he picked it up. "Yes." A frown marred his handsome features. "Send her up."
There was a soft tap on the door, opening it there stood Chloe Sullivan.
"Lex I need your help."
"What can I do for you Ms Sullivan?" Lex asked politely.
"Mr and Mrs Kent don't know I'm here." She said quickly.
Lex's heart felt as if it were going to stop beating. "What's wrong with Clark?" That is the only person in the Kent's life that would have Chloe running to him.
"He's dying." Tears fell from her eyes as she moved forward and wrapped her arms around Lex's waist and cried.
