"I'm finished with my chores Dad. Can I go now?"
"Off to Lex's son?"
Jon turned to Clark as he glared at him defensively, mouth open ready to defend Lex.
Jonathon put his hands up.
"Calm down son. I just asked because I want you to invite Lex over for dinner on Sunday."
Clark just looked at him as if to say 'Who are you and what he you done with Jonathon Kent?', so Jon elaborated.
"You see, I spoke to Gabe, and I've been talking to your mother, and I realised I've been entirely too hard on Lex. He's helped this town – what with the Talon and the plant, and all the while I've been too bigoted to look past his last name. He's your friend too Clark, and I trust your judgement."
Clark looked at his father and beamed. "Really?"
Jonathon couldn't help but smile back at his son.
"Really. I know Lex is important to you, and so I want to get to know him too. You're a good judge of character son, and if you say he's a good man, then I believe you."
