Summary: Tim Drake as Lex Luthors son
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Son
When it came to his attention that Lex had a biological son, the first thing he did was collect blackmail material on the boys parents. The second thing he did was arrange for custody of Timothy to be given fully to him. Visitation rights were to be discussed later, and by that he meant that there would be no visitation rights. As far as the word knew Lex had simply been keeping his son out of the public spotlight.
Doll
When he first met Timothy the boy was five years old. His first thought was that the boy was a doll, a living breathing porcelain doll. His second was that he was far too small to be five, maybe three if he was being generous. His third was that they had the same eyes.
Carry
It took 23 minutes of them being in the same room together for Luthor to start carrying Tim around everywhere. The first 15 were spent staring at each other in silence, the next 5 were of Tim reading a physics textbook that would make most university students cry and the last 3 were spent trying and failing to convince himself that Lex Luthor did not walk around with tiny 5 year olds attached to his person.
Sailor Suit
Lex knew that he was a horrible, horrible person what with trying to kill Superman a few times, but this, this didn't just take the cake, it took the entire bakery. Tim stood in front of him looking down at his feet shyly, dressed in a blue and white sailor suit.
Candy
Lex knew that he loved his son when he found himself hoarding candy in his tailored, french silk suits to give to Tim for no reason other than the fact that his son was precious and deserved the world. He made sure the candy was fruit based with no sugar added of course, he didn't want his baby getting cavities.
Adore
When Lex thought of children he thought of screaming creatures that secreted fruit juice instead of sweat. He never imagined a small fey like boy with luminescent blue eyes, pale white skin and dark black hair, almost tinged blue in the right light. He never imagined a shy, incredibly intelligent little person.
Breakfast
Tim was very self sufficient, but that didn't stop Lex from taking care of him. The one morning he saw Tim making his own breakfast (and what five year old cooks scrambled eggs?) Lex banned Tim from the kitchen unless he had adult supervision, which meant that whatever adult was supervising had best make his son food or else.
Mistake
The first time Superman met Tim he thought Lex was kidnapping him. He also had the embarrassing experience of having a toddler calmly explain that he would like to be returned to his father very much now please, Mr. Superman. Clark hadn't known that Kryptonians could blush like that.
Birthday
Tim's sixth birthday party involved no less then 15 hand made four foot cakes, and a procession of 7 elephants. Lex maintains that it was all perfectly necessary.
Giraffe
Tim had a pet giraffe that he rode to school one day. This was mostly because he had drawn a picture of himself riding a giraffe to school, thus his father decided that if he drew it some part of him wanted it, and if he wanted a giraffe to take him to school, it was going to happen.
Teddy Bear
Mercy has a photo album that is mentally titled "Most Adorable Timmy Moments Ever " but really titled budget reviews. The first picture is that of Tim dressed in a full body teddy bear costume as Lex cuddles him. She keeps a copy in her wallet.
Robot
Lex knew he had a problem when most of his son's Valentines came from boys. He contemplated home schooling him but Mercy insisted that he needed social interaction. Lex argued that he could build robots, very lifelike platonic robots.
Seat
Lex had grown into the questionable habit of holding board meeting with Tim perched comfortably in his lap. He found that while it was incredibly difficult for anyone to take him seriously when a child was on his person it was far too enjoyable to watch his son verbally eviscerate men 40 years his senior.
Right
Tim tended to be right. All. The Time. It would be terrifying if it wasn't adorable. Lex often wondered if he should begin preparing the world for its inevitable takeover now or if he should just allow Tim to work his way from the ground up to eventually claim planet Earth for himself.
Sociopath
One of his scientists once referred to Tim as a "sociopath in training, who was far too intelligent and incredibly dangerous." They were conveniently never heard from again. Mercy still won't admit to how she made those marks, Lex suspects it involved 4 jars of honey a length of rope and a hungry bear. Interestingly enough Tim was never spoken of in a negative light again.
Press
Lex was always very careful about the press Timothy received. Small as he was it was easy enough to explain his previous non-existence in the eyes of the world due to some childhood illness. The scandal that came from Lex Luthor having a child was crushed down by the weight of him buying out the Daily Planet.
Puberty
Some parents had to deal with teenage rebellion, Lex did not. Tim was always very well behaved…for a Luthor.
Support
"Umm..I don't think your dad is gonna show." Kon said staring at the youngest Luthor who was staring at the door, smiling. "Wait for it." Tim replied oddly smug. Just then the door to the auditorium burst open. A full marching band came through bearing a massive banner that said GO TIM. Kon stared wide eyed as Lex Luthor came through the middle of the procession and sat in the front row with the rest of the parents as the band played.
Beauty
Lex was viciously aware of his son's beauty. The softness of his skin, the blue of his eyes, the curve of his lips all contained a haunting sort of loveliness. His son was dainty with small feet and small hands. He would never grow to Lex's size, would never be tall nor heavily muscled but he would be lithe and graceful beyond compare. Despite that awareness Lex still intended to shoot his future son in law in the groin. Possibly twice. Probably three times, and then he would go after him with a machete and….
Marriage
Tim's marriage was a terrifying thing. For the most part because his father had attempted and nearly succeeded in killing the groom no less than 79 times since the announcement of the nuptials. Tim was slightly annoyed that Mercy had to spend the wedding tracking his father, blow dart at ready but needs must be met and he was determined to keep his husband alive.
