Chapter six: Breakfast of Champions
Lex's heart stopped when he heard that. Staring in shock at the little kid, who apparently was his father. Except without the evil personality.
Taking a deep breath, he ran his hand over his scalp. Calming his nerves.
'Ok, my father is now a toddler. Barely old enough to talk, let alone run a corrupt company. How the fuck did this happen?'
He glanced back at the kid who gazed trustingly up at him. The look didn't help his frayed emotions and erratic thoughts.
"Ok, Lonny, you know what?"
The kid leaned forward, looking up with a large smile on his face. Lex was going to tell him a secret.
"We're related."
"Really?"
"Yes. On your father's side."
"We don't look alike."
"Yeah, but we're related, trust me."
"Ok."
Lex thought for a moment before looking down curiously at the kid.
"What do you mean we don't look alike?"
"Well, I have a lot of hair, you have none."
The kid motioned to his head-full of thick brown hair. Lex chuckled, knowing what he meant.
"Yeah, but I used to have a lot of it. Though it was red."
"Red?"
"Yep. Bright red, my mother's hair."
"Oh."
Looking at the clock, Lex saw it was nearing noon.
"Hey Lonny, you hungry?"
The kid nodded and started to get out of the bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, the large silk pants fell off. Lex covered his mouth to keep from laughing at the poor child.
He looked ridicules standing there in only a large blue top. The sleeves covering his hands. It looked like it was about to fall off any second.
"Well, first we should get you some cloths."
Lonny looked up at him as he shuffled over. The shirt slipped some more, making it harder for the tiny child to even walk.
Picking him up, Lex took him over to his father's closet. Hoping to find some t-shirts or something. But of course, all he found was business shirts and casual business shirts.
"Didn't ever have a life without business."
Lex muttered to himself as he rummaged through the clothing. Finally he sighed and looked over at Lonny, who was watching him with large doe-like eyes.
"Well, I might have something that might fit. But I'm not too sure."
The kid nodded and Lex picked him up again. Surprised a little by how light this younger version of his father was. And so tiny. Even for the toddler age.
Entering his room a few minutes later he found a clean white t-shirt that had gotten small. Then, he found a pair of small shorts and gave them to Lonny. They fit the kid perfectly, though they were more like pants for him.
"We should go eat now."
"Ok."
Picking him up again, Lex mulled over his newest problem. How was he going to hide the fact his dad was now turned into a little kid. It was like finding the fountain of youth. Though he didn't know it, it was more like a pond in Lionel's case.
Pausing in the doorway into the kitchen, he heard the sounds of voices coming from inside. He remembered that the servants were still around. He didn't want them to see him with a little toddler and assume the worst.
Setting Lonny down, he told him to stay quiet and out of sight.
"Why?"
"Because…I said so."
Lonny pouted for a second before Lex made it up to him with a promise of chocolate and sugar for breakfast.
"Promise?"
He didn't keep the whine and the hope out of his voice. Lex smiled and ruffled Lonny's hair.
"Yeah I promise. So will you do it?"
He nodded.
"Good, I'll be right back."
With that, Lex made his way into the kitchen and found the cook, the butler along with a few other of the Mansion's servants. Clearing his throat he smiled at them.
"Sir? Is there anything you need?"
James (A/N: yes I know, cliché…) his butler asked, curiously at him.
"No. but there is something you can all do for me."
"What is that sir?"
"Take the day off."
They all looked startled. Giving him a look like they hadn't heard him correctly.
"Excuse me sir?"
"You heard me, take the day off. All of you. Heck, take a few days off! I'll call you back when I need your services."
"Are you feeling well sir?"
Lex smiled and nodded.
"Perfectly fine. And I'm not kidding. I want you all to take a few days vacation. Enjoy life it's a beautiful day, go out and enjoy it."
"Uh…ok sir."
That done, Lex turned back to get Lonny. He knew that they'd all be gone by the time he returned to the kitchen. And he was right.
After setting Lonny down on the plain table in the middle of the large room, Lex went about finding food for them to eat.
He was too wrapped up in it to notice someone knocking at the door.
