"Why are you doing this?"
It was the first time Superman had asked, though he'd railed and lectured for almost a year now. Strangely, he didn't ask when he was losing or suffering; it was Lex at the disadvantage, kryptonite buttons thirty-five stories down, torn shirt flapping in the wind, bald head held over the edge.
"I don't want to die." The wind carried his soft admission into the skies, and Lex couldn't read the look Superman gave him before letting go and disappearing after 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.
