~~~Locking horns with the Devil. ~~~
"Never for a minute think that this is what I want; I love my son more then life itself, but he's left me no choice." Lionel Luthor thought as he watched his son once through the window.
Those were very true words that he spoke to the doctor treating Lex, but he never intended his plan to continue here not like it did. With the drugs in his son's system and knowing his son's volatile temper; it would have been easy to predict the behavior of the unpredictable situation set up around the boy. Lex had friends and he went to them; unfortunately one ended up getting hurt, but Lionel could fix that by slipping funds in the right direction. Though in the end as he thought about it; the whole incident actually helped to condemn Lex in his friend's eyes, perhaps more of a thank you was in order to Ms. Lang. At least Lex did succeed in ridding him of Morgan Edge; he suspected there had been some outside help since Edge's Jaguar had been crushed like a tin can. He was pleased with that part of the plan; Morgan Edge's body had been riddled with bullets. Lionel knew the shooter was Lex since all the bullet wounds were center mass; Lex had always been a master of whatever weapon he was given.
The Doctor arrived at his side, "Enjoying the show Mr. Luthor?!"
Lionel threw a piercing glance down upon the shorter woman; he hated the judgmental tone she had in her voice. Perhaps after she was finished treating Lex with her little experimental drug and treatments, he would make sure she was never heard from again.
"How long before you can move into phase two of his treatments?" He asked her with a fierce tone in his voice.
The Doctor shrank back a little. "In a few days," She said. "The drug regimen he is on is keeping him contained; but that, of course is only temporary. We would have started him on the treatment earlier, but he is still fighting the staff as well as the drugs. It is something we had not counted on; that's why he is still in restraints."
"Never expect a Luthor to simply lay down and be the beta, Doctor. You had best find away around his fight, and start as soon as possible!" Luthor stated his gaze bearing down on the Doctor.
She nodded and with that she quickly retreated out of the restricted section of the ward. She decided to keep to herself, the fact that she had been allowing Lex to have time in the recreation room with the other patients. The wrath of Lionel Luthor was something she did not wish to have come down on her, but Lex was her patient and what she was doing to him was unethical.
Lionel looked back at Lex; he watched the boy pace, and once again his eyes started to twitch. This was the only sign of emotion that dared to slither across the billionaire's always set in stone face. He watched as Lex stopped pacing and leaned against the mirrored wall; there was only this wall that separated the father and son, and once again Lionel raised his hand putting it on the barrier between him and his son.
"You go up against me Lex and expect severe back lash; you knew I would retaliate, just because you are my son does not mean that I would hold back. You brought this on yourself." Lionel said speaking out loud.
Lionel backed away from the cell as Lex slid down the wall to the padded floor; Lex bowed his head and started to rock as Lionel Luthor turned and left. Lionel would not be present for the next phase of the treatment; he knew it was dangerous and if Lex survived, the younger Luthor would think twice about trying to take down the elder Luthor. Lionel actually smiled with the thought of having his son back under his thumb where he belonged; the pain Lex would endure in the next phase of the treatment was one small price to pay to get his son back where he belonged. Lionel boarded the LuthorCorp helicopter and flew away from Belle Reve.
