Part 1
"Dad" said Lex has he entered into his father's office. Lionel was in the middle of an important business meting. There were two other executives in the room with him, and they all looked at Lex.
"What the hell?" muttered Lionel under his breath.
Two seconds later appeared Darius, the personal bodyguard of Lex behind him.
"I'm sorry Mr. Luthor I couldn't stop him" said Darius looking at Lionel. He nodded at the bodyguard.
"We need to talk" said Lex again.
"Not
now, Lex" said Lionel looking again at the papers he had on his
desk. "I am extremely busy right now. Go back to the mansion; I'll
be there in a few hours".
Lex reached into Darius's belt and
grabbed his gun. "No Dad, we need to talk NOW" shouted Lex as he
aimed the gun at his father then he turned to the two other
executives in the room and Darius "YOU, GET OUT FO HERE!".
All of them looked at Lionel Luthor who agreed to be left with his son. When the door of Lionel's office was closed, he raised his eyesbrows and talk calmly.
"What do you want?" said Mr. Luthor standing in front of his son. "I'm tired of these goddamn games! Tell me what it is you're here for, and if possible, I'll try to arrange it".
The hand of Lex trembled but he continued aiming the gun at his father without never taking his eyes off of his as he spoke to him.
"If you want to talk, let's talk but stop aiming the gun at me, ok?"
Lex kept his gaze level, meeting his father's impenetrable eyes and he put the gun down. "We'll have a nice father-son chat. We could started talking about how you and Morgan killed my grandparents-" said as he waved the gun around as he talked.
"-What are you talking about?! They were my parents. I'd never hurt them. And I know that you don't want to hurt me either" said Lionel firmly.
Lex stared at Lionel, trying to get control of his emotions. He suddenly glanced over his shoulder.
"Shh! You'll wake the baby" whispered Lex.
After a few seconds of being disconcerted by such a sudden change of Lex's behavior, Lionel realized what Lex was talking about. "It-It's Julian. Are you seeing Julian again?" whispered with concern not wanting to upset his son more. "Julian is not here" said calmly. "He's dead. You can not blame yourself for the Julian's death".
Lex stopped aiming the gun at Lionel and used the hand he was holding the gun in to rub the side of his head, in obvious discomfort. He walked away, rubbing his head.
"SHUT UP!" shouted Lex over his shoulder at Lionel.
"You didn't mean to hurt him. I know that. It was just an accident-"
"I said SHUT UP!" screamed. "You killed my grandparents! Maybe you-you killed my mother too, didn't you?"
"Lex, your mother had cancer"
"That's what you had the doctors tell her, but I bet you poisoned her-"
"You're wrong. I loved your mother very much, I would have never done anything that could harm her-"
Lex blinked hard against tears and shook his head. "Liar! I'm tired of your goddam lies!" yelled "But it really doesn't matter now, at least she got away from you. She might be dead, but at least she's free from you!" Lex continued in the same harsh, broken voice. "She's with the son that you loved and you're left with the one that you couldn't care less about."
"That's not true Lex. I love you. Come on, give me the gun Lex. Let me help you. I can not bear to lose another son" said Lionel pleadingly as he raised both hands as a symbol that he meant no harm and stepped closer to his son.
"Sure" whispered Lex with scepticism and anger flared in his eyes. With the gun he was holding he hit Lionel on the side of the head, knocking him out. Lionel groaned and fell to the floor, unconscious.
As soon as Lionel awake he found himself alone in his office. Lex had vanished without trace. He stood up with difficulty and went towards his desk. He felt dizzy. He touched his head and saw he had blood, Lex had hit him hard.
"Dominic" said into the intercom on his desk. "Assemble your men and find my son. Bring him to me".
-next day-
"Mr.
Luthor! What brings you here at this time of morning?" asked
Jonathan Kent as he saw Lionel Luthor getting out of his car.
"I
am looking for my son" Lionel told him.
Clark shook his head "Not for a few days. Why? Is anything wrong?"
"Lex is very ill Clark. He needs help" said Lionel seriously.
"What do you mean ill?" asked Clark surprised but showing concern for his friend too.
"There's a psychotic break. It happened while he was on that island. I thought he'd beaten it, but, um... he's had a relapse. He is suffering from paranoid delusions. He's hearing voices. He sees things that aren't there... It's really important I find him. Right now, my son is not in his right mind. He needs help. Pl-Please let me now if you find him" said Lionel.
Lionel
realized that Clark was staring at the bandage he was wearing on a
side of his head. "Be careful Clark, he can be very agressive"
said and then he got in the car and left Kent's farmer.
Jonathan's
hand thightened Clark arm. "Do you know where Lex is?"
asked seriously.
"I really don't know dad" confessed Clark and he turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" asked Martha worriedly.
"If it's true what Lionel said about Lex, he's in trouble and should be found. I'm not going to stay here doing nothing at all. He's my friend"
"Please be careful" said Martha.
Lex dropped into the driver's seat of his Porche. The keys hung from the car's ignition key. When the car started moving he thought for a moment where to go. 'The only who can help me is Clark' thought as he drove towards Kent's farmer. He fought to remain conscious, he felt dizz y. He parked the car in front of the main entrance of Kent's farmer. When Jonathan hear the car, he headed towards the door and opened it. Lex was standing on the porch suffling across to the door.
"Lex are you alright?" asked Jonathan very concern.
"I- I'm sorry to bother you Mr. Kent. I didn't no where to go" he took a deep breath hesitating for a moment "You have to help me Mr. Kent. My father wants to kill me. I found out something that could sentence him to prison. My father and Morgan Edge killed my grandfathers- He's drugging me to make the world think I-I'm crazy"croaked Lex as he fell unconscious to the ground.
Jonathan and Martha were sitting in the couch talking when the door opened and Clark entered inside the house.
"I couldn't find him!" said desperetly Clark. Jonathan and Martha looked up each other.
"He's here Clark. He came here an hour ago very upset. He kept repeating that his father is drugging him, that he and Morgan Egde killed his grandfathers-"
"Where is he now?"
"He's sleeping"
"What are we going to do?" said as he let himself dropped on the couch.
"We have called Lionel" confessed Jonathan. "Lex needs help".
"What?!" shouted Clark as he stood up immediately. He looked upset. Martha stood up too and stepped forward.
"I know how hard it is for you to see Lex in this condition, but he needs psychiatric care" said sympathetically Martha.
"How can you be so sure that Lionel is saying the truth and he is not drugging Lex. After all Lionel has showed us that he is as good as his word"
"Well, we don't know if Lionel is saying the truth or not but we really know is that Lex needs help Clark. This isn't his first brush with mental illness. I think the best thing we can do is trust that Lionel would do the best for his son"
Clark was about to opened his mouth to try another argument, but he didn't do it because he realized that his father's expression had changed to one of extreme concern. Clark turned around and saw Lex standing behind them with a look of disappointment on his face.
"You think you know people, and you suddenly realize it's all just a facade" said Lex sadly after having heard all the conversation. He felt how the angry was rising inside of him. He couldn't take it anymore, each minute that passed Lex felt more frustrated and angry with the people he thought he could trust. He put his hand through the window he had beside him. "I heard you all talking. Plotting to pack me off to the loony bin!" shouted Lex.
"Lex, you know we only want what's best for you" said soothingly Martha.
"From the day you pulled me out of that river, you've been the one person I thought I could trust completely. Now I realize I was wrong" whispered sadly as he looked at his bloody hand.
Clark looked on guiltily as Martha and Jonathan shook their heads.
Lex turned around and started to leave. Clark went after him, grabbing his arm.
"Lex! Where are you going?" asked him with concern.
"I can not stay here and let my father to put me away Clark" said tearfully. "Maybe I am crazy. I-I honestly don't know anymore. But what if I'm right about all this? Are you going to just let them put me away?" Clark looked at Lex, conflicted. "Pl-Please let me go Clark"
As Clark was thinking what to do, the sound of a car coming to Kent's farmer was getting louder and louder. Lionel was coming to take Lex with him. Without saying anything and by surprise Lex pushed Clark away and ran away. When Clark was about to follow him, Lionel opened the door.
"Where's my son?"
"He has just escaped Mr. Luthor" said Clark coldly.
Chloe sat outside her car, looking around nervously when he saw Clark pull up next to the car in his truck. She walked over to his window.
"Thanks for meeting me all the way out here" said Clark honestly.
Clark held out a a bloody shard of glass to Chloe. "Look, I need you to find out if there is any drug in Lex's blood".
"OK, I'll get it to my source at the pharmacology lab" said Chloe as she took the bottle. "I'll call you as soon as I'll have the results". Chloe got inside the car and left.
Lex stood in silence, cutting a solitary figure in the storm lit sky. He didn't know where to go. His body trembled and his long black jacket flapping wildly around him.
'It would be so easy' thought Lex as he looked down the cliff that it was two steps behind him. He stopped caring, because he no longer had anyone or anything to care for. 'Is this what you wanted father? Then you'll have LuthorCorp just for you as you always have wanted, no?' thought Lex.
A voice calling his name cut into his thoughts suddenly. He turned slowly in the direction of the voice.
"Lex!" cried Lionel again, the fear growing steadily in his eyes. "What are you doing here?".
Lex didn't answer, just turned his head away and looked again at the cliff.
"Lex, I'm talking to you. Look at me while I'm talking to you"
"Since
when do you give a fuck about me?"
"Lex you're my son.
I-I"
"No. Don't you dare, Don't- " yelled Lex as he
walked slowly towards his father.
"YOU
killed my grandparents! YOU have been drugging me to make me look
crazy so I won't tell anyone what YOU did to me."
"If
you could only hear what you are saying; with a clear mind. You must
trust me Lex, you must know I have your best interest at heart, don't
you?
Lex smiled ironically and digged his fingernails into the back of his neck."The only interest you have is staying out of prison" whispered furiously.
Lionel took the sedative from his pocket and gave Lex a shot. He caught the boy before he fell to the ground and carried him home where he would laid him down in bed.
The phone of Kent's home rang and Clark answered it anxiously hoping to hear Chloe and if there has been found anything in Lex's blood.
"Clark?" asked Chloe.
"Yeah it's me Chloe. Do you have the results? What did you find on Lex?"
"Well someone is drugging him. However that doesn't prove anything Clark. He could have be in medical treatment sinde the airplane accident. We don't know for sure that he is being drugged against his will-"
"I know" sighed Clark as he shook his head "But I got to do something" said determined and hang the phone interrupting Chloe who was about to argue.
"Please be careful Clark" whispered Chloe to herself looking at the phone as she hang too.
Clark super speeded to Lex's mansion. He threw the door open and stride inside.
"What did you do to him?" Clark shouted angry. Lionel got up from his chair, tossed the document he was reading aside.
"Listen to me, young man. Lex is very sick. He needs help""What did you do to him?!" yelled again stepping closer to Lionel.
"He needs to be monitored so that they can be sure he's taking his medication."
"Liar!" hissed the young Kent.
"I know you're upset Clark but you won't solve anything shouting like this. Lex is now being treated, in few days he'll be recovered. You have to be patient, so should I and pray everything we'll be alright. Now if you would be so kind to leave" said Lionel."Lex
is my friend, I swear if anything happen to Lex, you'll be the
first to regret it" threated Clark and then left the house.
Lionel waited until he saw Clark had left definitely the
house and went to Lex's room where there was doctor Foster, Lex's
physiatrist.
"How's Lex?" asked Lionel to Doctor Foster.
"Now that he has been found I'll be able to control his meds much more tightly. By the time he finishes his treatment, he won't have any short-term memory left" said Dr Foster. Lionel sighed
"Wasn't that exactly what you wanted?" asked surprised after hearing Lionel sighing.
"Never believe for a second, Doctor, that this is what I wanted. I love my son more than life itself" answered slightly angry "But he had left me no other choice" muttered to himself with tears in his eyes as he watched his son tossed and turned, twisting, knotting the blankets, and pulling the sheet off of the bed.
-two days later-
When the Lex woke up he was groggy, and his memory was covered in a fog. He had no short-term memory left.
"Dad, what happened?" asked Lex when he found his father sitting beside him. Lionel stood up and brought his son a glass of water and some pills."You stopped taking your medication, Lex. You suffered another psychotic break. But we could detect it on time, and now you are going to be ok, as long as you take your medication".
Suddenly Lionel hugged Lex and whispered in his ear "I had been very worried about you. I thought for a moment I would lose you. I love you Lex".
Lex didn't know what to say. This sudden reaction had catch him by surprise. It was the first time his father has showed him he did care about him. "I-I love you too dad" muttered.
Part II soon...
