As Lex was being dragged into the kitchen he spotted Chloe on the other side of a four seated table placing some waffles onto a third plate. She looks up from what she was doing and simply spoke "Are you going to just stand there all day, or are you going to sit down and eat." as she placed her flour covered hands on her even more flour covered hips, distorting her shirt and revealing the slightest amount of her toned stomach.

"Actually Chloe, I had just stopped by to pick up some folders you father had left behind but was to ... busy ... to ... get ... them, what is she doing." Lex asked as he looked behind Chloe at a little girl balancing on a precariously tottering chair reaching into a cupboard. Chloe looked over her shoulder and caught her breath as she saw her daughter was about to fall from the chair.

"Oh my god!" Chloe breathed then twisted and jumped to catch her falling daughter, both landing in a tumble of tangled limbs and blond hair. Both sat there stunned a moment before braking into a fit of laughter at there latest predicament. Slowly getting up and out of there tangles so as not to hurt themselves Chloe started to speak to Lex.

"Um, okay, uh, if you just let me wash my hands here I will run up stairs and look for these files. uh, any idea of what I'm actually looking for?" Chloe asked as she stood in front of the kitchen sink scrubbing her hands to rid them of the flour.

"Yes, actually, they are the quarterly annual reports on the maximum out put of the plant that need to be run to the accountant that he left behind." Lex stated still a bit dumbfounded at the whole situation.

"Ah, yes, important one. Makes since that he would forget them. I'll be right back." Said Chloe as she left the kitchen and turned down a hall and headed to the stairs leading to the upper portion of the house leaving Lex alone in the kitchen with a rather perecousiose little girl.

"Are you a friend of my mommy's?" She asked as she rocked back on her heals.

"Actually, I'm a friend of a friend of your mothers, and your grandfathers boss." Lex replied a little unsure of what to do. In all of his twenty-one years he never was sure how to treat children, The way he was treated was most definitely out of the question, but for someone who lived by past experience had none in this area. So to say the least he was a little unnerved. At that thought Lex almost chucked. A Luthor unnerved by a six year old, now there's the tabloid headline of the century.

"So your grandpa's boss?" she asked still rocking.

"Yes." replied Lex

"And who's friend of mom's are you friends with?" She asked still rocking.

"Clarks" He answered.

"Clarks?" she asked puzzled, still rocking.

"Yaeh," he stated shortly. "Are you sure you should be rocking like that?"

"Sure, why not?" she asked, still rocking.

"Just, that you might fall again. I'm not all that clear on your ability of balance." Lex replied just as she was about to fall. Three quick steps however and he prevented another spill as he quickly grabbed a hold of her hand and steadied her. "See."

The little girl became filled with laughter again at the sight of the serious face of Lex Luthor. "Okay, now why are you laughing?" Lex asked.

"Cause ... Your funny." She replied still laughing. "Your a funny bald man, and I'm hungry." She let go of his hand and sat in a chair, then started eating her waffles which were now becoming cold. "Ewe, cold," the little girl whimpered. "Now look what you did."

"And what did I do?" Asked Lex as looked on to the puzzling little girl before him.

"You! You interrupted mommy and me from our warm delicious waffles and now there cold ... gross ... waffles. and I'm hungry." She pouted as she dropped her fork to her plate. Lex smirked a little then walked over to the closet next to the front door, grabbed a little pink coat and walked back to the kitchen then tossed it to the little girl. Just then Chloe came running down the stairs with the folder and jumped behind the table, slid Lex the folder and turned to her daughter.

"That stupid spider, in that stupid window, I swear it was watching me the entire time i was up there. Why do you have your jacket?" she asked.

Her daughter looked up at Lex then shrugged her shoulders. Chloe turned to Lex and raised her eyebrows questionly. Lex took the folder and looked at Chloe.

"Grab your jacket." He simply stated.

"What, Why?" Asked Chloe as she furrowed her eye brows.

"Because, as your every so persuasive daughter has told me that I had ruined you breakfast, and by the look of it, took you quite a bit of trouble to make, I am apologizing by taking you out to breakfast." He stated.

"Yay!" Shouted the little girl jumping, sending a dust of flour to the floor as she fell yet again.

"Excuse me?" Asked Chloe looking a little more than puzzled.

"I said, I am taking you and your daughter, who by the way I do not even know her name out to breakfast since my presence has ruined the one you have planned." stated Lex smoothly.

Chloe, with a slight smile forming on her lips as she tries not to laugh at the situation and replies, "So let me get this straight. You, are going to take us out to breakfast because a six year old, who by the way is named Leigh (AN: pronounced Lee) made you feel guilty." finally laughing.

"Okay, she did not make me feel guilt, I just thought that it was the polite thing to do." Lex replied with a tilt of his head slightly raised eye brows. However Chloe was not about to let this drop. It was just to funny.

"So you think that just because you ruined our breakfast that all you have to do is take us out and all will be forgiven?" Chloe asked trying hard not laugh. Leigh catches on to her mothers game jumps in to play.

"Yeah, Just because your grandpa's boss, you think you can just boss us around?" she asked copying her mothers stance.

"Yeah," Replied Chloe looking at Lex with was suppose to be an abashed look as if she were both angered and insulted. Lex catching on after that last pitiful Yeah, rolled his eyes, and turned around and started to walk away without a word. Chloe turned to Leigh.

"I don't think he know how to play." She stated as Leigh dropped her hand and ran to the front entrance to stop Lex from leaving only to hear Chloe call out from the kitchen, "Don't fall."

"wait, stop, wait, don't go." Leigh called as she tried to stop before she literally ran into Lex. Turning around, Lex tried not to laugh as he helped the girl to stop. Leigh looked up as she spoke. "Do not listen to mom, I'm hungry, she's insane, if you leave me with her I'll starve, and waist away into notingness, and die, and it will all be because you wouldn't feed me." With an overdramatic flare, her hand to her for head as if she were to faint from starvation. after that little display Chloe walks out of the kitchen with a dazzling smile as she looks at her daughters antics to get food and slightly laughs, slightly cries, then quickly pushes those memories away, refusing to go back there But not quick enough for a flicker of emotion to cross her face and be seen by Lex.

"So, are you going to come to breakfast with me or are you going to cause your daughters death due to starvation" asked Lex as he looked at Chloe. She stood there for a minute before talking.

"You really are no fun to play with." She stated crossing her arms once again.

"Sorry to say, but your just going to have to try a little harder if plan on manipulating me in the future. I feed off of mind games." Stated Lex.

"Yes well, I had to keep it simple so Leigh could play along." Chloe said indicating her daughter who seemed to have look of pure indignation. Chloe looks over and ruffles her daughters hair.

"Oh, so your attempts and failure at trying to mess with my head is your daughters fault." Lex nodded. "Okay, so are you coming to breakfast with me or not?" Chloe looked at herself and her daughter, covered still head to flour, wearing cloud pyjama bottoms, and a tank top.

"Sure if you don't mind going to breakfast with two women covered in flour and wearing their pyjamas." Chloe stated while placing her hands on her hips. Leigh looked at herself covered in flour, then to her mothers flour slippers and laughed. Lex looked between the two, shrugged his shoulders and simply stated.

"I've seen worse." then with that said he grabbed what he presumed to be Chloe's jacket, and opened the door waiting for them to exit before him, and with that they were out the door and headed towards Lex midnight blue Porsche.
