OK, this was "What A Call In The Morning Can Do", however I've been wanting to change the title for a while now.
I was never very fond of the title and first chapter having the same name.
Also, warning, their is some abuse. - Also POV in a way from Lex and Chloe. I know it's short but I'll update faster next time!
scifichick774: Yes, Lionel can really be a bastard but that's why he's so loved. I'm glad you feel he's in character.
I've been very worried that I'm getting everyone extremely out of character. Please, let me know if you feel I've
messed up anyone! Again, thank you for your review!
Ruffyan: I could not let them take their cloths off to soon, believe me I was thinking about it.. I'll have to see how the next
couple chapters go.. As for them staying together, well, I'm not sure I could deal with them breaking up. But I really have no
idea what my plot bunny will do to me. Oh, I was just wondering, do you still post at the official Mutant X board?

~ Flashback ~
"LEX!!"
'Why must all good things come to an end?' Lex was only able to ponder this thought for a couple of seconds before
Lionel entered the study. He was as upset as the day he sent Lex to Smallville. This time however, was different for,
Lex, he would be living in the same town as his father if, Lionel had his way.
"Why have you refused to give the movers admissions to all sections of my house? You know I want you home by
nightfall!"
"Dad," Lex began but was cut off as he was spun around. He landed with his stomach pressed firmly on the top of
his desk. While shoving him, Lionel had grabbed Lex's right arm and twisted it across his lower back.
Lex began to kick but he father did let up.
"Stop it! You will do a I say, you have no choice, son."
~End Flashback~
"You have no choice. You have no choice." His fathers haunting words filled his mind. Lex lay sobbing on his bed.
He could hear the movers packing on the lower levels. Dominic, his father's lap dog, was giving orders, telling him
how every aspect of the moving should be handled. Items that were of any value to, Lex where to be sent directly
to trash bins.
Some of the things however that his mother had given him, those many years ago he kept hidden. As he laid in his
bedroom, clutching his worn copy of "The Prince". His tears had died done a bit but every time he opened his eyes
he saw the home that he called "freedom". After living with his father for so long, even living in the same city as he
did, was a prison. Now he was going back. He had not wanted to go to Smallville yet, after living here for so long, it
was one of the first places he felt at home in.
He would be leaving in two hours, leaving Chloe. Fresh tears began to flow. Just as the door opened.
"Oh for Christ sake! Lex Luther get your ass out of that bed and over here-" But Lionel stopped as he saw what Lex
was holding and the wet sheets next to his head.
In just eight paces Lionel was standing over his son, "Give me that." He yelled at Lex as he tried to rip the book from
his son's hands.
"You must not burden yourself with such things Lex. This only tells of the past. Give it to me, NOW!" Lionel had
yanked Lex up from the bed. His tears flowing like a river just released.
"No, I... I wo-" Lex tried to say, however he was forced to stop as the tears started again. Lex did not see the
horrified look that was plastered across his fathers face, he only remembered that he was not alone in the room
when Lionel's hand connected with his left cheek.
"Disgraceful brat." Lionel spat, "I want you ready in forty-five minutes. Don't make me come up here again if you
know what's good for you. I sincerely hope you remember your last lesson in tardiness."
With that, Lionel released his grip on Lex's chine and shoulder, causing his distressed son to fall in a heap onto the
floor next to his bed. Lex curled up into a ball, hands over his face, crying. With no one to hold him.

Chloe
0o0o
"NO! He lives there! And I know the damn number!" Chloe screamed into the phone. She had been getting the same
message everything she had attempted to call Lex. His cell was out of service while his home phone was, "no longer
in service." according to the message she kept receiving. It went on to sugest she check the number and dial again.
"Honey, are you all right?" Her father asked, entering the family room, the concern in his voice evident.
"I'm fine dad, I just-" she stopped, it was hard talking to Gabe about Lex, even with his acceptance of their
relationship (the parts he knew about), Lex was still his boss.
"Lex and I had a fight." Chloe said simply.
"Oh," Was all Gabe was able to say, the look on his face told Chloe to either go on or run for her life.
"It was about the plant. He just.. we both said things, I just tried calling him but, neither his cell nor is home phone
are working. I'm worried about this, I need to fix thing with him."
"I'm sure it's not that bad, Chloe." Her dad told her as he opened his arms to her. Chloe gladly sank into his
embrace, crying slightly.
"Come, we need to finish packing. I've already contacted a Realtor, he lined up some homes for us to look at
tomorrow. Until we find one we like, your Aunt Judy said that we may stay with her. I would like to leave no later
then eight tonight." Gabe said and he pulled her out of the hug and kissed the top of her head gently.
Chloe gave a weak smile and said, "All right. Thanks dad."
TBC...
Alright, I know that Lionel would most likely never do that to Lex. Trust me, their is a very good reason for his
outbursts.
Points to the review button... PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's makes me update and let's me know that people are reading!
