Chapter 3: Unwanted Information
When I awoke I was in the same position as Naomi, she briefly looked at me and looked back over to Lionel. I sharply turned my head and looked at my father, regretting this movement as my vision began to blur and a sharp pain at the base of my skull. Great, probably got a concussion from my painful visit with the wall. After all the shit I get from Lionel this would top it all off, I never thought he could beat his own record on my 'Shit List' but this definatly moves him up a couple of notches. Just stay calm, Clark knows your in trouble and he knows Naomi is here too, he'll be along soon. Now all he had to do was wait, but he didnt like waiting. Hell he didnt like being helpless either but right now there was nothing he could do. He knew his father didnt negotiate and he doubted Lionel would help after the betrayal of telling Clark to call the police. He knew Clark would have problems getting down here without a master key for the elevator, but somehow he knew Clark could easily detour that little problem.
Back to the present
She was surprised when Lex had called Clark, she was also happy that Lex was on her side. But with his heroicness he managed to get himself in a useless position.
"You should be the one to know Lionel, with all the secrets and lies im surprised you still have someone to call a son." I say bitterly, how someone could be so menacing and cruel is beyond me. "I wouldnt call him a son, more like an heir. Children are supposed to be faithful to their parents and obey what they are told. Lex listened to his Mother but when it came to me he turned his nose up." Lionel snarled at Lex, and Lex unmoving glared up at his father. "Well you took care of that little problem didnt you?" I say finally getting to the subject I wanted to talk about. Lionel snapped his head towards me and glared. Lex had a deer-in-the-headlights look and I could see sadness and anger well up within him. His jaw muscle was jumping furiously and he looked at Lionel with pure hatred in his eyes.
"What does she mean by that?" He asked loud enough to hear the anger in his voice. "Oh, so he doesnt know about your work, I guess you left out that small detail." I say with disgst in my voice. Lionel just glared at me and smiled at his son and shrugged speaking in a neutral voice, "I tried to persuade your mother to shy away from you but she wouldnt, she said something about 'I'm the one keeping this family together'. When she failed to comply to my 'request' I simply had her removed. But I was unpreparied for consequences," he sighed and put his hands in his pockets "I thought you would become closer to me and hopefully follow my lead and be the perfect son, but when you rebelled and started trying to ruin the Luthor name I got angry." He said staring at Lex.
"So you killed mom, got someone to dispose of the evidence of foul play and claim it as horrible accident? Did you stab her in the back like you do to your so-called allies to LuthorCorp?" Lex asked his voice barley faltering when he pieced it together. This was the second time he had gotten unwanted information, the first was when his mom was 'diagnosed' with a short time to live. Before Lionel could answer the questions Lex was trowing at him Lex cut him off again. "Not only did you fail at having the perfect son, but you also failed at cleaning up your tracks well enough so that no one would find the evidence." Lex said looking over at me, I looked back at him and I could see he was trying to think how I came across this information, and I would have to tell him it sooner or later. At this moment I voted for the latter, it would be easier to explain in a more comfortable atmosphere.
"I didnt phyically hurt your Mother on the outside, I just concocted a slow acting poision that took on the same side- effects as heart failure. As for your first question, failed is such a harsh word, I like to think of it as a mistake. A mistake i'm not willing to take again." Lionel said clearly trying to dismiss the conversation. I was once again blown away at the menacing coldness in his voice as he told Lex just how he killed his Wife and left his only son motherless. Just when Lex looked like he was going to say something a very loud thump abruptly cut him off, causing us to look at one another and Lionel's drone to scurry outside to see what had caused the commotion. Finally Clark's here, or some form of help. Maybe if it is Clark he brought someone with him. My inner voice started to doubt, but I quickly shut it up. Clark can take care of himself.
