Part three: Get a grip!

*Zoof*

Yet another branch hit Lex in the face and he scowled at the boy in front of him. "Mr Ross, I told you the first million times, and I'll say it again. There's a person behind you, so catapulting branches isn't the best of ideas."

"Depends on the person," Pete muttered and saw Clark giving him a warning look. Why had his friend invited Luthor to come along, anyway? Did he just forget about the mutual dislike (to put it lightly) between him and Satan's son?

At the time, Lex was also pondering over what his motives were for agreeing to do this. Right now, he could've been in his mansion, relaxing in front of a warm fireplace, instead of dragging himself through the woods, shooting paint at teenagers.

´Those meteor rocks must've finally fried my brain.'

He shook his head, 'While I'm on the subject: what the hell was going through my mind when I put on this outfit?' Looking down at his black khakis and navy green sweater and groaned. 'If only my father could see me now.'

"So," Clark spoke up, pulling both his friends out of their thoughts. "We've beaten two teams, and three teams were already down, so there's only one left."

"Yep," Pete smiled excitedly. "And we're gonna kick their ass. What do you think we'll win? Russell said there was a prize right? You think it's something big? I mean, the guy doesn't just give a party like anyone else. No, he organizes WWIII! So, it's gotta be a big prize, right?"

Ignoring his friend's rambling, the farmboy asked, "What if Chloe is on the remaining team?" He was feeling rather uneasy at the fact that he'd have to shoot at his best friend, even if it was just paint. But it wasn't her safety he was worried about.....

"We can take hostages," Pete replied, already having everything planned out. "We'll just hit her leg or something, and take her back to the starting point."

"I don't think she'll be too happy about that," Lex piped in, already imagining her screaming, her blonde hair whipping around her face and body covered in red paint. He found the image kind of arousing, so he quickly banned it from his mind.

´Get a grip, Lex!´ he scolded himself.

Just then, a voice from behind startled them and they whipped around.

"Oh shit," all three muttered.
