Well this story is going longer then I thought and I think I'll continue it for a while. Hopefully those who read it like it.

12:00 AM

Someone was screaming. Lex thought it was his own dream but it wasn't his dream or him, it was a female scream. 'Sam' Lex thought jumping up and speeding out of the room and across the hall.

Sam was thrashing and screaming, her eyes closed tightly and hands clenched into fists at her side. "Shit," Lex swore before trying to grab her arms and wake her up. "Sam! Samantha!" Lex screamed catching her wrists in his hands and trying to stop her from writhing, but she was as strong as Clark making pinning her down difficult.

Lex used all of his force and weight but eventually ended up sitting on her lower abdomen to pin her down. "Samantha!" He screamed.

Her eyes snapped open and her back arched as she tried to breathe, taking in gasps of air at a time. Lex moved quickly, getting off of her and pulling her into his arms. "Shh," Lex whispered as she clung to him. "Come on, it was a nightmare, it's over," he reasoned.

"But everyone was dead Lex," Sam whispered. "Everyone was dead because of me and there were so many things wrong with the town. The farm was on fire, all the shops and houses were rubble…"

"It's okay," Lex said tightening his hold.

"You were dead," she choked out her head buried in his chest. Lex's eyes widened at her words but said nothing. They sat there for a few moments in silence, Lex shocked at how easy the instinct to comfort her came.

"Are you going to be okay?" Lex asked a few minutes later as she pulled away from him.

"I think so," Sam said her voice barely above a whisper. Clearly this dream was worse then Lex thought. When Lex got up to leave she said, "Lex, I know this sounds stupid and childish but could you stay here for a little while? Until I fall asleep again?"

Lex froze and looked back at her. Her eyes were still wide and she was shaking slightly as she looked up at him. Lex nodded and walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Sam lay down and turned to face him, taking his hand in hers as she closed her eyes. Lex smiled at the innocent gesture and had to fight the urge to lie down next to her.

Within a few minutes Samantha had fallen asleep but Lex couldn't bring himself to pull his hand away and walk back to his room. Instead he lay down next to her and closed his eyes until morning.

1:00 AM

Sam sat up with a start. She looked over and saw Lex lying next to her and about a million thoughts ran through her head. It was then she noticed he only had boxers on, and this realization causing her to blush. She glanced over at the clock and cursed. School was in seven hours meaning if Lex drove like a madman they could get home in time. "Lex, we have to get back to the Kent farm," she said shaking him awake. "And you have work," she said laughing when he groaned.

"Damn Mondays," Lex murmured turning his back to her.

"Lex Luthor get your ass out of bed before I do it for you," Sam said an evil smirk on her lips.

"Oh and how will you achieve that exactly?" Lex questioned turning over to face her.

"Like this," Sam said tackling him out of the bed and onto the floor, the two of them ending up in a heap on the floor, the comforter falling with them cushioning part of the fall.

Lex looked up at her in shock with fake outrage. "I do believe that besides that action being totally inappropriate to do to anyone let alone in the mornings, you caused this very compromising position."

Sam's eyes widened as she looked down at how they had landed. She was on top of Lex, lying across him, nearly every inch of their bodies touching. When she went to move off of him Lex caught her arm pulling her back. "How did you sleep?" he asked wondering why he'd pulled her back but not minding all the same.

"Better since you were there," Sam admitted blushing slightly before standing up and walking over to the door of the room. "We should get going," she said quietly looking over at Lex and barely stifling a giggle. Seeing the millionaire on the floor comforter wrapped around him as he looked up at her with a slightly confused expression on his face.

Lex nodded detangling himself from the blankets before standing and stretching, his muscles catching Sam's eyes as they moved beneath his skin. He half smiled at her as he walked over to the window and pulled the curtain back nearly blinded by the sunlight. "Whoa," Lex mumbled shielding his eyes.

Sam laughed and walked over looking out the window as well. "No more rain," she said smiling before picking her boots up and pulling them on. "Are you changing and then are we heading to the farm or are we just leaving?" She asked.

"Give me a minute," Lex responded disappearing into his room and pulling sweat pants and a t-shirt on. "Okay, let's go, you probably have a few chores and you have to get ready for school," Lex said as he reappeared.

Sam laughed as they headed out to the car. "What?" Lex asked confused as he unlocked the doors and climbed in.

"Lex Luthor walking around in his pajamas, not exactly how I had you figured out," she explained.

"Please, two years ago I was a pissed off man trying to get revenge on anyone who crossed my path, you just chose to get in my car's path Ms. Kent."

"Not by choice, I was being chased."

Lex turned the car off and sat back in his seat looking over at her. "Why were you being chased?"

"A few friends and I had been having some mischief night fun Lex, and we ran into some kids from our school who were never really fond of me or my friends and they chased us, saying they'd hang us up by our bondage straps on our pants when they caught us."

Lex thought back to the first night he hit Sam. It was around midnight, and she had been wearing all black, but her hair had been a bright dyed red back then although even that didn't help Lex see her in time. She was at the back of the group of kids running, cradling her right arm as she did so. After that all Lex remembered was seeing her lying on the ground in a bloody heap, not moving.

"Why were you holding your arm that night?" He asked sitting up more in his seat.

"Well the kids we ran into obviously picked on the slowest of us, but I wasn't about to let my friends be beaten and embarrassed, so I went back. Had a small fight with a few of them, which was distraction enough for my other friends to run. Mitchell Caldwell however, didn't see the heroism behind my act, only the stupidity. As a way of rewarding me for it, he bent my arm behind my back, straining a few muscles."

"But you're like Clark, bullet proof," Lex said confusion reigning supreme in his mind.

"I wasn't two years ago, it was later that week after I was hospitalized that my powers started showing. My parents, the Kendal's, figured it was the accident that set me off. I mean how often do people recover from a near fatal accident within a week?"

"I remember hearing about that, and joking that at least I'd hit a 'strong boned, hard headed kid,' instead of someone who could have died."

"Well lucky you, I'm still here," Sam said laughing.

"Out of curiosity what made you run out into the street that night in Smallville?"

"It was raining what did you think I'd do? Enjoy a stroll along the streets?"

"True but even you are smart enough to look where you're going," Lex said.

"I know but the thing is, I was desperate for a place to stay, and I saw an unlocked car across the street and figured I could stay in there, wait the storm out you know?"

"But instead of finding a place to stay you found my car hitting you for the second time in your life," Lex finished.

"Exactly," Sam said leaning back.

"Well we better get to the Kent farm, don't need Jonathan pulling out his shotgun on me," Lex said as he turned the key and started the driving to Kent farm, explaining the shotgun reference along the way before Sam fell asleep in the car.
