Lex Luthor had never felt so good as when Superman's giant golden hand wrapped around his pale neck and ground his bald head into the wall.
He had wanted to go out with a bang, to take the only extra-terrestrial on earth with him. It would be his greatest victory; he'd be remembered, forever connected to the world's most beloved hero. Instead, he had been thwarted. Lex hoped Superman would kill him, use his cold fury and heat-vision to burn through Lex's eyes and into his Mensa IQ brain. Lex had been steadily dying for months, after all. He wanted his demise to mean something.
He felt dizzy. It was to be expected, dangling feet off the ground with flesh-covered steel crushing his windpipe. But he also felt very alive. If he survived the alien's wrath, if this really wasn't coincidence, then it seemed he and Superman had a future together. Lex would make sure of it.
please review, especially those of you familiar with the dc-verse--i don't have a beta, nor someone who knows overmuch about the comic superman/lex luthor dynamic. all i know is past smallville seasons and what Te says on her lj.
