Chapter Three

"What are you doing here Lex? Clark asked.

"I understand you are pushing people away and it revolves around me? Lex said simply.

"How did you...Damn Bruce. Clark muttered turning away.

"And your father I got phone calls from bot of them."

"I'm sorry Lex for everything, some friend I turned out to be. Clark sat down heavily hiding his face in his hands.

"We both made mistakes Clark it wasn't just you. If it hadn't been for my kids who knows where I would have ended up. Everyone did what they thought was for the best. I can understand more know what you r parents were going through with you being different. Lex suddenly shut up realising he had given away more than he meant to.

"What do you mean? Clark asked.

"Clark give me time. I just can't open up to you just like that not after everything we have been through and what I have been through. I have children to think off now. Lex saw Clark's face fall. 溺aybe we could try and be friends again. See if that is possible with no lies in the way. He saw Clark's mouth open to speak and Lex held up his hand. 的'm not lying to you, I said I can't tell you yet. That's different. If there things you can't tell me just say the same thing."

"I have nothing to hide ask anything you want. I have to earn back your trust and this is the best way to do it. Clark grinned suddenly. 鉄o pizza."

Lex laughed. 的 see your appetite hasn't changed."

"Some things never change and me liking food is one of them. Clark stopped and stared at Lex for a moment longer. 展hen uhhhh..."

"When what Clark? Lex waited for a moment.

"When, umm is it possible that I can spend some time with you and your kids. I'd like to get to know them. If you don't mind I mean."

"I don't mind Clark. I will sort something out that's not a problem."

Martha smiled as she watched her son helping around the farm and smiling. She knew that he hadn't completely forgiven them but his talk with Lex had obviously made a lot of difference.

"I'm not sure about this. As Jonathan stood next to her.

"Jonathan we are not doing this again. Lex has asked Clark to be his friend again. If we or you do anything to stop that we will drive Clark away. Lex has done nothing wrong. I won't let you interfere and let your prejudices ruin something that our son desperately wants.

Jonathan looked at Martha, turned and walked back into the house. She watched as Clark turned, smiled and waved at her. It was obvious that he had heard everything that was said. Martha would stop her husband if he tried anything.

"So Lex when are you going to tell Clark that the kids are his? Bruce asked simply.

"Hello to you to Bruce. I have to tell my kids first. When Clark can prove that he is not automatically think that I am evil incarnate. I can't, no I won't put my kids into a situation like that. I'm actually going to talk to them tonight. They already know that I had been implanted with the embryos. Clark wants to get to know them, they should also get to know the Mr and Mrs Kent, that is my main worry."

"What that they will keep telling Clark how evil you are? Bruce couldn't help it but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?"

"I'm just trying to imagine you as a criminal mastermind."

Lex laughed as well. 典he strange thing is that it could have happened where I was going. I was following my father's footsteps. Him impregnating me was the best thing that could have happened. Bruce I know I have said it before but thank you for everything. I wouldn't have made it without you. My sanity would definitely have not survived without you involving me in creating gadgets."

"You are still going to help aren't you?

"Of course you can't get rid of me that easily. It's fun brings out the comic fan side of me. Who gets to make cool gadgets for superheroes, it's every geeks dream."

Lex waited until after they had dinner and they were all on the sofa watching television. Picking up the remote control he turned it off, and then moved so he was kneeling in front of them.

"What is it daddy? Lily asked.

"There are somethings that I need to tell you. Important things that you can't tell anyone until I say so. The only person who knows about this so far is Bruce."

"You can tell us anything dad. Connor said not liking that his father looked afraid.

"First of all I did speak to Clark, we are going to try and be friends again. He wants to get to know you too. I've said ok, if that is ok with you? Lex what to know what they wanted, if they said no then he would have to explain it Clark.

"We would like to get to know him to. We know how much you cared for him. Lily's eyes narrowed, Lex couldn稚 help but smile it was times like this that he could see how much she took after him. 泥oes this other things have to do with Clark and that's why you have to tell us?"

"Yes it does, Clark doesn't know this but if things go well I'm going to have to tell him. At some point even if I don't it's going to become obvious. Lex took a deep breath. 添ou always asked who your other parent was, why you had these abilities? Well... He trailed off.

"Clark Kent is our other father? Connor asked.

"Yes he is that is one of the reasons why I wanted you to get to know him. You can't let him know about what you can do or what I just said, not yet anyway."

"Daddy he's not going to be happy when he finds out you've kept this from him? Lily said stating the obvious.

"I know honey but my concerns are for you two. That is the most important thing to me."

"Mum, dad I've invited Lex and his kids to come to the farm tomorrow? Clark said as he rushed in.

"Clark. Jonathan started to talk.

"That's a great idea Clark. Martha interrupted him and ignoring the look of disbelief that her husband was giving her. 的'll make lunch we can have it together."

"Lunch? Jonathan bellowed.

"I think it's best if you weren't around then Jonathan. Martha replied. 鏑ex and his children are welcome here anytime just like any of Clark's friends. If you can't deal with that then other arrangements will be made and I will go with Clark to meet Lex and get to know his children. Tomorrow they will be here having a nice lunch, that I will make and with good company."

Clark didn't like to cause problems between his parents but he was so glad that his mother was trying to help. He didn't know what he would do if he had to fight the both of them. Clark walked over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Thanks mum, I love you. He whispered pulling away and heading towards the barn ignoring is father.

"Look at what Lex Luthor is doing to us already. Jonathan mumbled.

Martha turned and looked at him with disbelief. 泥o you really believe that? She waited for him to nod. 笛onathan he's not doing anything, he's not even here. You're doing this all by yourself. Martha walked back into the kitchen and grabbed the flour. She had to do some baking for tomorrow. Martha smiled it had been a long time since children had been in the house and she was looking forward to it.

Lex sat on his bed staring at a picture of him and Clark. He was even more handsome know, there was just something otherwordly about him. If Lex had to do it all again he would like to have made kids the old fashioned way with Clark.

It didn't matter what had happened he was still in love with the young man and nothing would ever change that. His feelings, in this case, didn't matte. It wasn't just him now. Lex moved and climbed into bed. Martha had called him and asked what kind of pies they all liked and to warn him about Jonathan. Lex was glad that she was trying and continue to meet up with him, just like her son no matter what Jonathan thought.
