II.

Clark was suffering from a severe case of cotton

mouth. This was it, this was what he and his family had feared

since that fateful day when Clark Kent first met Lex Luthor.

That Lex would discover Clark’s secret.

Clark thought back on the day that he had first met Lex

Luthor. Lex had lost control of his Porsche on a bridge and

slammed right into Clark at about sixty miles per hour. Clark,

and the Porsche with Lex behind the wheel flew off of that bridge

and into the cold river. That was the day that Clark discovered

the truth, that he was not like everyone else. That was the day

that Clark ripped the steel roof of Lex’s Porsche with his bare

hands to pull Lex out. That day Clark saved Lex Luthor’s life.

Clark and Lex quickly became close friends after that.

That same day, that evening up in Clark’s loft in the barn,

Jonathon Kent told Clark the truth, that he had been sent here

from another planet in a small spaceship the same day as the

meteor shower. Everyday thereafter, Clark went to desperate

lengths to hide his secret from the world, especially Lex.

Jonathon Kent’s voice echoed inside Clark’s head, “He’s a

Luthor, son, and you just can’t trust him.” How many times had

Jonathon, Clark’s father, warned him to keep his distance from

Lex, and how many times had Clark not paid any attention. Now

Clark was thinking that his father may have been right. Clark

should have stayed out of Lex’s life, and all of the dangers that

came with it, namely, Lionel Luthor, Lex’s father. No less than

six months ago Lex had discovered the dark truth about Lionel’s

past. Lex had tracked down a child hood friend of his Fathers,

Edge, a criminal gone into hiding with a new face and desperate

for a new life. Lex offered him what he wanted for the truth,

and that truth was that Lionel had murdered his own parents for

the insurance money.

Well Edge let Lionel know about his and Lex’s conversation.

So Lionel started drugging Lex’s brandy, doing things to screw

with his head to make him think that he was going crazy. Lex

tried to fight it, he came to Clark for help, but Clark could not

help him. It all came crashing down after Lex shoved Lana under

the hooves of a horse and ran away. Clark tracked him down to

Edge’s place and it was there that Lex discovered Clark’s secret.

Lex confronted Edge and when Clark showed up right behind him,

Edge started beating on Clark. Lex was only trying to save

Clark, Edge was crazy, he was going to kill Clark, so Lex did

the only thing that he could think of in his fragile state of

mind. He aimed his gun at Edge and pulled the trigger. The

power from the gunshot was so great that it sent Edge flying out

through the window and onto the perfectly manicured lawn outside.

For a split second both he and Lex thought that Edge was dead and

they just gazed at one another in disbelief. But then they heard

the squeal of tires. Edge had been wearing a bullet proof vest

and now he was getting away. Lex jumped through the broken

window and ran right out in front of Edge’s speeding car. He

lifted his gun again and took aim. Lex did not even seem to care

that the car was coming right at him like a raging bull with a

very sharp stick up its ass. Edge’s car was going to hit Lex.

Clark did the only thing he could do, he placed himself between

his friend and the car. The car smashed into Clark, splitting

the hood, right down the middle. Then Clark picked up the car

and through it across the yard as though it were nothing more

than a bag of trash. And Lex had witnessed the whole thing. The

doctors from Belle Reeve Sanitarium showed up then and took Lex

away. After seven weeks in the sanitarium, Lionel ordered for a

very dangerous, very risky, sort of electro, neural operation to

be performed on his son, Lex. The operation worked just as

Lionel had hoped, Lex’s memory of the past few weeks were

completely erased. Any hopes of finally bringing Lionel

Luthor down had evaporated, and Clark’s secret was also lost to

Lex, or so he had thought.

Clark had absolutely no reservations when it came to Lex’s

loyalty. Although Lex had kept things from Clark, Clark also

kept secret from Lex, and Clark was sure that Lex had his

reasons, the same as Clark did. Just because there were certain

things that they hid from one another, did not change the way

that they felt about one another.

Clark pulled out a wooden kitchen chair and motioned Lex to

have a seat. Lex sat down, and Clark sat next to him on his own

wooden seat. This was it..... the moment of truth. “Okay, Lex.

What do you remember?”
