Clark was up for more mind games. Lex had passed out an hour ago, just as Clark had arrived. He didn't want the blood to stain the floor so he unhooked Lex. He loved using the taser gun on his victims. For kicks he took the rolled up blanket and wrapped it around a baby doll. He then sped off.
o-o-o-o
"So it spells help?" Chloe stared at Lionel.
He stared back at her. They both stared. Then Lionel said, "Yes, I think he may be in immediate danger."
"Sweet! Think they are torturing him?"
Sadly Lionel nodded, "And I had wanted to do so myself."
o-o-o-o
Lana went down into the Talon's basement. This is where they kept the Liquor. The stock was running low however since Lex's death, so many people wanted to celebrate.
o-o-o-o
Lex groggily awoke. "Shit," he muttered under his breath. Then he looked up. "Julian? Julian! I am so glad you're here and…"
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
He looked down at Julian. Not a word came form the doll's lips, "Julian? NO! NOT AGAIN!"
He sobbed and tried to get closer to his brother. The steel bonds stayed.
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Clark came down the stairs. Lex looked up at him with anger, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO JULIAN!"
o-o-o-o
Clark was bruised, bloody, weak, tired, bound and gagged. His body was laying behind the spaceship in the storm cellar. Weakly he looked up and shook his head
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
o-o-o-o
Lex looked up at Clark then down at Julian. His eye glared with hate.
"Hey Luthor let's say we redecorate this place huh?"
He unhooked Lex then took out the pole. Lex gaped, "Oh my god! You are different!"
Clark looked over his shoulder while reformatting the pole and said, "Duh."
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over?
Clark thinned out the pole into some chains and hooks. Lex however took his chance to escape while Clark was busy. He bent over, grabbed Julian, and ran towards the exit. "Thought you'd run away huh rich boy? Well, to bad. It's all set up if you want come over."
Lex stood rigid. Clark gave him a light tap and he was out.
o-o-o-o
Clark groaned slightly, his wrists hurt from the taser gun.
"Hey man."
He looked up at himself, the man who and put him here, and whispered, "Kal-"
He was cut off by a kick in the ribs as a smug voice said, "Yeah, boy isn't this great? Us guys just hanging out. You know dad wanted you to destroy 'Lex' but you didn't want to huh? That's why I am here. Besides of course because of the accident you created flannel boy."
Clark looked up, "Do you really think my parents will fall for it? They'll find me!"
"Hey I just got an idea. What if I let you and Luthor fight it out. You both seem like aggravated young men. Plus it would be funny. Actually he knows you have strength so he might be a bitafraid…"
"YOU TOLD HIM?"
"Well not really. He's just observant. Excuse me but I have homework to do."
Clark swore as he left and he thought back to that one day in chemistry.
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
o-o-o-o
Lex shook himself awake. In front of him was a decapitated baby doll. He wanted to cuddle it so badly. He tried to bend down only to find he was chained to ceiling.
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels alright
You don't know what it's like to be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
o-o-o-o
His chemistry teacher was evil. Pure evil. Using black and gold kryptonite in a science experiment! Bah. Clark spat at the memories. He hadn't noticed the two substances until the explosion he created. Under the mask of smoke each took effect on him. The gold took all of his powers, and the black gave it all to the newly reborn Ka-El. Using his new found freedom, along with super speed, he had been 'escorted' out of the classroom. Clark had fallen unconscious from the blast and had woken up to see Ka-El's taunting face.
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
"So, think Jor-El was wrong? Huh? Thought you could stay away from him huh?" The monologue was ended by a kick in the stomach.
Welcome to my life
Ka-El laughed at the perdicment, "Well I'm off to find me a Luthor!"
He loaded his gun changed into a flannel and left Clark in darkness.
Now one week later Clark was still in the same spot.
o-o-o-o
Kal walked in as Chloe and Lionel were…… talking. They gave him suspicious looks.
"Well, Chloe, the Torch needs to be printed. Now, I'd like to talk to Lionel." Kal said smugly.
No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
Chloe took her jacket and left, "We were done talking anyway. Hmph."
As the door closed behind her Kal smiled at Lionel. "So you have my son?"
"I'm sure we can arrange something."
o-o-o-o
"Oh Lex look at my new play toy!"
Lex gulped. His cheek was stained by tears.
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be ok!
"Ya know Lex for a while I was jealous of you. Rich, money."
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like
What it's like!
He chuckled at himself as he pulled out a fire poker. It was hot from his heat vision. "Have you ever played with a piñata? It involves hitting what-ever is dangling from the ceiling."
Lex trembled. "Guess you never have huh? Seeing as you had no friends. I have friends. Not you, but I have friends."
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
Clark circled Lex, first poking him, but occasionally poking the doll too. Lex barred is teeth and resisted screaming in agony.
o-o-o-o
Dinner at the Kent's house was normal.
"So Clark how you day?"
"Oh, you know nothing exciting. Tomorrow's Monday, so I got to go to bed early tonight."
"Okay son, I'll do the dishes tonight."
"Thanks mom." Kal kissed the two and went up to Clark's bedroom. Things were just perfect.
o-o-o-o
Lana meanwhile was dead drunk and passed out on the counter at the Talon among liquor bottles.
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
o-o-o-o
And as night closed on the town both Clark and Lex cried softly praying for a way out of this hell.
To be kicked
When you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
o-o-o-o
Lionel poured himself another glass of scotch waiting for his plan to come into action.
Welcome to my life
o-o-o-o
(Welcome to my life)
T O B E C O N T I N U E D...please RR!
