Oi! I've been seriously remiss in updating my fics and for that I beg forgivness! But it's not entirely my fault, most of it lays on the shoulders of the people I work for. They cut the manpower of my job from six people down to 2 and I've been going 2 months of work for every 4 days off. I've just been much too tired to do more than do laundry, dishes and then sleep. But...I've vacation time coming up (YAY ME!) so hopefully I'll be able to finish this story off and then begin more than bunny harvesting for the next story.

To my reviewers I say a hearty Thank you! Without them I'd not know how my stories were going over. So these are for you : D

To TEENTITAN - I'm sorry that the descriptive writing you found was disturbing to you, but that is why I put the higher rating on there. On the other hand it does tell me that my words have caused you to use your imagination which is kinda what I wanted. So... :D

To Crazy Danae - I'm happy that you liked the story so far. As for the slash tendancies...the way I see it is: On tv you only get to see and hear what the show shows you, but when you read a book/story you can see what the characters are thinking and feeling beyond facial expression and body language. If you look at it in that manner, Lex isn't really acting outwardly too different from the shows, I'm just taking liberties with his motives and thoughts hehe.

To Scary-Girly - A resounding SQUEEEE to you, without your encouragement this fic would have been completed at my leisure on my hard drive never to be seen again on the net beyond the second chapter.

As for those who think it's Clark who is KryptoAngel, keep reading, you may be surprised or perfectly on target.

This week on "Lifestyles of the Buff 'n Shameless"...

Clark the Studly Stable Boy –

This day at the Talon was much like any other day when Chloe burst through the door like a human-super-ball and sped unerringly towards her target behind the counter. Lana looked up at the sound of the door and an excited gleam entered her eye as she saw who was moving quickly towards her, a large smile crossing her face in welcome. Both girls tossed a quick furtive glance around before leaning slightly upon the counter.

"Did you get something good today?" Lana asked eagerly, her voice dropping into a breathless murmur.

Chloe's sun-kissed cheeks grew flushed with excitement. A quick glance around showed no nearby waitresses or customers that could possibly overhear her words.

"Bench presses today," Chloe clarified.

"Oooh, those will be good."

Chloe nodded, "Pete's in them too. Can't wait till Halloween." She sighed.

"Why?" Lana asked.

"Only time of the year when I can trick Clark into leather."

Lana gasped quietly, eyes closing as she imagined the sight. "Maybe you can get Lex to do it," she sighed.

Chloe nodded, "That's a good idea, just have to pitch it right."

"Pitch what just right?" Lex's voice rolled over Chloe like silk.

She cast a mischievous grin at Lex over her shoulder, "Bondage Clark."

She smirked at the astonished look Lex leveled at her, "Excuse me?"

Chloe turned fully towards him dropping her elbows onto the counter as she leaned against it. "For Halloween," she clarified. "We were trying to figure out how to get Clark into leather."

Lex gave the two plotting girls a sly grin, "Are you really? Perhaps I could talk him into it."

"Really?" hopeful looks around.

"Sure, I'll see what I can do."

The two girls sighed happily, Lex moved to his usual table. 'So they've caught Clark working out…now they want leather…'
