After this unfortunate episode Lex sat down on a nearby chair and wondered what could have provoked Clark to try such a bizarre thing, it was so out of character. He thought for several moments and then said, "Oh, of course, it's really understandable that someone's affection for me would lead to insanity, after all, I'm so lovable…and fabulous."

Just then his father, Lionel, walked in, "Hello Lex," he said. "I just came by to tell you that I'm not disappointed in you."

"Oh really. And, Father, what could possibly prompt you to say that? Is it the fact that I'm perfect in every way? Because you haven't commented on that to my satisfaction."

"Well, actually I just think that if I constantly call you perfect then you'll develop an ego problem, and we wouldn't want that."

"Oh no, Father," Lex said, sarcastically. "Well, I guess I'll just have to rely on myself to call myself perfect, gorgeous, fabulous, suave, rich and sexy. Well," he said after thinking for a moment, "Other people call me rich and someone calls me suave, although I can't put my finger on whom." Then he rubbed his head for luck and left the room. Lionel didn't see the head rubbing, as he's blind, but if he had he would have frowned.

Later that evening Lex is standing around in the library, aimlessly staring at the wall when a servant comes and announces a young daredevil (Based on the comic book, I haven't seen the movie)

"Ahem," said a servant, predictably, "Matt Murdock, sir."

"Why didn't you ask me if you could let him in? Since when are we inviting random people off the street into my house?"

"Well…"

"You're fired."

"Of course."

The polite, blind teenager stepped into the room and said, "Hello."

"Ohayogozaimasu," Lex said, in Japanese for some reason (it means good morning). "Since you're already here I suppose you should tell me what you want."

"Well actually I don't want anything I was just on a subway and I was studying so hard that I forgot to get off at my stop and I ended up in Smallville. In Marvel comics the cities have real names."

"Marvel comics?"

"::Cough:: nothing."

"I…see. I'll have one of my shiny helicopters fly you back to wherever you came from."

"Gee, thanks mister. My dad'll be so worried!"

"My father doesn't care about me. In fact as a child I would often read comic books and wish that the characters would adopt me or that anyone would adopt me. The other children always teased me because I was so rich and I never had any friends. But I don't want to bore you with the sad details of my life."

Matt Murdock was saved from having to respond to this because just then who should appear but Clark Kent. "Oh for the love of God," muttered Lex.

Matt was sensing more awkwardness coming on and he mentally sighed and cursed his luck for ending up in this imported Scottish castle.

"Hi Lex!" said Clark, enthusiastically.

"How can you just show up in my house like this and act like nothing has happened?"

"Well the servant who's usually at the door wasn't there so…"

"That's not the point!"

At this point poor Matt Murdock was trying to casually walk to a secluded corner of the room where he wouldn't have to join in the conversation. But to his dismay Clark asked, "Who is that agile blind person?"

"Oh, that's ahhh…"

"Matt Murdock," said the person in question.

"Well anyway," Clark began, "I came to see if you would come to my secluded barn with me while my parents are out running errands."

"Clark, that's the most ridiculous thing anyone's ever said to get me alone with them. Way to be sly."

"Oh," said Clark with a downcast expression on his face. Then he ran over and began to take Lex's clothes off. Lex was beginning to feel very depressed about this when Matt ran over to them and knocked Clark away with his cane, or blind stick as Fafner affectionately refers to it (Fafner is my brother's friend's guitar's name).

"Thanks Matt," Lex said, suavely, "How did you do that?"

"I heard Clarks speedy footsteps going in your direction and his heavy breathing let me know what he was planning even before I heard him ripping off your clothes. I knew his advances were unwelcome because you don't seem to like him."

"Well, thank you but you're still fired."

"I don't work for you."

"Oh right," Lex chuckled, "Just a reflex."
