Summary: Lex thinks about "the incident"
**************************************************************************** ****************
Clark lies asleep in Lex's arms. Lex looks down at the dark-haired angel before him and smiles.
So innocent, he thinks. Innocent and naïve.
Lex had been naïve once, but that had all changed. He seemed to have lost all his innocence and naivete in one night. That one night that had changed him forever. It hadn't changed him physically, but emotionally. It had left scars that ran deep. He rarely let himself think of that night because of the pain the memory caused; but for some reason, tonight he just couldn't shake his mind from regressing back to that horrible night so many years ago.
He had been just 12 years old when "the incident", as he had begun to think of it, had happened. He had come home from boarding school for the holidays. Since his mother had passed away a year before, he spent the break with his father in Metropolis. It had been a long trip, and all Lex wanted to do when he finally arrived in Metropolis was sleep. Lex hadn't been asleep for very long when he heard his bedroom door bang open loudly. Lex nearly jumped out of his skin at the sound. He sat up in his bed and looked toward the doorway. His father was standing there looking at him viciously. There was something in his eyes that frightened Lex, and Lex had the sudden impulse to run. Before he could act on his impulse, his father staggered over to his bed and pinned Lex to it. Lex could smell alcohol on his father's breath. Lex tried to struggle out of his father's grasp, but his father was stronger than him and held him down easily. What happened after, Lex doesn't remember exactly. The words 'his father fucking him brutally' come to mind, but that's about as far as his mind will let him go. He can't remember details, and he doesn't really want to. He won't let his mind call up those images; they are locked so deep in his mind that nothing can bring them back. Lex doesn't mind this, though. Why bring back the pain? He does know, however, that what happened that night was very, very wrong. He also knows that it will never happen again. He may have been too weak and naïve that day, but he isn't weak or naïve now. As he has told his father before, he has no idea of what Lex is capable of. But if Lionel ever tried anything like that again, he would find out exactly what his son was capable of; and it wouldn't be pretty.
As Lex goes to sleep, there is one thought on his mind "never again."
