"An… alien?" Lex asked, his eyes focused solely on Clark, who was putting the pool table down. Clark just nodded and turned to face the slightly older man. "Clark," Lex said with a light laugh, "That's insane."
"Is it Lex?" Lex looked at the serious look on Clark's face and shook his head.
"Clark-" Lex began, but Clark held up his hand and his words fell silent.
"I thought you'd feel this way," he said, grabbing his backpack. "Come on. I've got something else to show you." Lex raised an eyebrow and Clark smiled. "Come on." Lex grabbed his jacket and followed Clark outside.
"Now what?" Clark smirked at Lex and reached out, lightly gripping his arm.
"I've never taken someone along," he whispered, "At least, not willingly. But I doubt you want me to carry you bridal style across town." Lex rolled his eyes and the sarcasm in Clark's voice.
"What are you talking about Spaceman?" Clark laughed and tightened his grip slightly.
"Ready?"
"I guess…" Clark grinned at Lex again before taking off.
Lex gasped as he was pulled along with Clark, who was running at amazing speed.
Within seconds, they were on the Kent farm; Clark hadn't even broken a sweat. Lex gasped and looked at his surroundings, unsure what to make of what happened. He looked at Clark, who grinned nervously.
"Well… that explains a lot." Clark laughed nervously and Lex smiled.
"Come on, let's go talk to my parents."
…
Martha and Jonathon Kent didn't think twice when their son walked in with Lex Luthor; Lex visited often. But when Clark cleared his throat and dropped his backpack loudly on the ground, they looked up and eyed Clark, who stood in front of them, and Lex, who stood back away, near the door. Jonathon looked at them both before he stood up quickly, his eyes flashing in anger.
"Son… you didn't." Clark took a deep breath as his mom stood up too, her eyes soft and questioning.
"I did." Clark watched his father's face turn from red, to purple, to blue, back to purple, back to red, and then a dull pink before it became neutral again. He was silent as he strode from the room, Clark, his mother, and Lex watched him go. Martha sighed and sat down, rubbing her temples. "I'm sorry mom."
"Don't be," she said softly, giving him a weary smile. "I know how important this was to you. Lex," she said, setting her eyes on him. They stared at each other before he smiled.
"I'll never tell anyone Mrs. Kent. Your secret is safe with me."
"Thank you."
"You two," a rough voice said, causing Clark and Lex to look to see his father there, eyes wary. "Come with me." Lex shared a nervous look with Clark before they followed him out of the house and to the storm cellar.
"Dad," Clark asked, making Jonathon stop and take a shallow breath. "Are you sure?"
"If he's going to know," he said with some difficulty, "then he should know everything." Lex was silent as he watched Jonathon open the cellar and lead them in.
There, in the midst of the dusty cellar, Lex saw it.
"Is that…"
"My spaceship."
…
Clark sat in the loft while Lex paced.
"Just ask your questions. I'll answer the best that I can," Clark said, making Lex nod.
"Okay… when?"
"…The meteor shower," he said softly; Clark had hoped to avoid that question.
"The meteor shower," Lex repeated, a hand running over his bald head. Clark saw this and frowned.
"I'm sorry about that," he murmured, making Lex look at him.
"And… you're allergic to the meteor rocks?"
"Yes. If I'm exposed too long..." Clark shrugged; he didn't want to think about what could happen. Lex took a deep breath as he thought of more questions.
"Does anyone else know? Pete, Chloe, Lana?"
"No, no, and no."
"Just me?"
"Pretty much."
"Why did you decide to tell me?"
"You've been wanting to know. I knew you wouldn't let it go until you found out. And, I trust you."
Lex looked at Clark, who was silent as he stared back. Lex seemed to think something over before striding to sit next to Clark.
"I promise you that no one will ever find out about this. Not from me. And I will do everything in my power to keep you and your family safe in any way possible." Clark looked at him and smiled lightly.
"Thank you." Lex grinned his Luthor smile and Clark grinned his Kent smile before Lex leaned over and kissed Clark, right on the lips. Clark stilled at this, unsure how to react; he only let his eyes slip close. Lex didn't mind though.
As he pulled away he rested his forehead against Clark's, whose eyes were still closed, but a light smile played on his lips.
"I promise I'll keep your family safe. I'll protect your secret."
…
The next morning, Clark is in town with his mother when he sees them.
All around the small town, in the fields and empty lots and even behind some buildings, are bulldozers and other machinery. The machines dig into the ground, searching for something. Clark stares at them for a moment before he feels a hand on his arm.
"Clark, look at the logo." Clark squints and reads the logo on the side of the machines and on the workmen's uniforms.
Luthorcorp.
"What is Lex doing?" Clark whispers to his mother, who shakes her head.
"I have no idea. You should go talk to him before your father sees this." Clark nods and is gone in an instant.
...
Clark is at Lex's mansion in seconds, and in his study in an instant. Lex barely looks up from his files when Clark bursts in.
"Huh, I'm getting used to that I guess," he murmurs, flipping through another page of the file in front of him.
"What are you doing around town?" Clark asks, unsure of what he is feeling. Lex sighs and closes his file before standing up and approaching Clark, taking his hands in his own.
"I'm doing what I said; protecting you."
"How is digging up part of the town protecting me?!" Clark asked, pulling his hands away. Lex frowns and then sighs.
"Really Clark, I thought you were smarter than this. You don't have any idea what I could possibly be doing?"
"No."
"I'm destroying the meteor rocks."
…
Oooh what's gonna happen now?!
Guess we'll see.
Thanks for reading.
