Chapter five: Meet my father
Lex stared at the little kid who looked wide eyed up at him. The child was dressed in a pair of dark blue silk PJ's that were too large for his small body. They were practically falling off of him for goodness sakes!
He mulled over this new problem. How the heck did the kid get in here. Was beyond him. Perhaps he should fire his security guard. Since the guy let in anybody.
And another thing bugged him, why was the kid dressed in his father's PJ's. and the old man was nowhere to be found.
He knew for certain the evil guy would never be nice to a little kid and give him his cloths and a warm bed out of the kindness of his heart. There was something more to it. And he, for one intended to find out what it was!
Eyeing the kid, Lex sat down on the bed next to him. And put a nice smile on his face.
"Hey kid, what's your name?"
The brown haired child thought for a minute before answering.
"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers."
Lex raised a single eyebrow at the kid sitting before. He was no more than 3 or 4. And yet he talked like he was much older. So sticking out his hand, he grasped the smaller hand in his shaking it firmly.
"I'm Lex. There, we're no longer strangers. So are you going to tell me your name?"
The child grinned.
"Well, ok. I'm Lonny."
"Nice to meet you. Now how did you end up in here?"
The little kid shrugged, looking around, confused himself.
"I don't know. I fell asleep in my room and woke up here."
Lex frowned. It sounded like the kid had been kidnapped. But by his father? That was even low for him. Well for little innocent kids anyways.
"Do you know where you used to live?"
The kid nodded.
"Metropolis."
He struggled with the large name. it came out a little slurred, making Lex smile.
"I'm from there too. Whose your father?"
The small child looked a little fearful when he said the name.
"Leonard Luthor."
Lex's eyes widened a little. What the-? This kid is related to him? But how could he be his grandfather's child when the man had been dead for over 30 years or more. Becoming suspicious he asked if 'Lonny' had any siblings.
"No."
"Hmmm."
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"So, is Lonny short for Lionel?"
"Yes."
TBC...
A/N: Dun dun dun...so Lionel is a kid now? what will happen...oh, and don't worry, Chloe will make an appearance shortly.
