Lex: There's a darkness in me that I can't always control. I'm starting to think that's my curse. Why every relationship I have ends badly.
Clark: We all have a dark side Lex.
Lex: Yeah, but I can feel my creeping over the corners. Your friendship helps keep it at bay. It reminds me that there are truly good people in the world. I'm not willing to give up on that.


If only we would of managed to have kept that friendship, how things would be different now. Now competing against Jonathan Kent for theGovernor’s race, while trying to think of ways to further investigate Clark. We could have been friends for such a long time and who knows how I would of become, maybe I wouldn’t even be in this race against Mr. Kent. Ever since that day of the barn-raising when those criminals escaped from Belle Reeve and tried to get into Level 3 in which he was successful. I pushed hard and he pushed back even harder. I admit that I investigated Clark too much but what was I to do on that day, he was inside of my company in a restricted area. I had to investigate once the facility was going into lockdown procedures. How surprising it was to see that it was Clark and Chloe and even more surprising was that Clark couldn’t get through the laser barriers. When he came and accused me of enabling those men to escape, and we actually physically fought. We had both just had enough; why I struck him back I don’t know and will regret it for as long as I will miss the friendship. I believe that was the thing that was the start of the downfall of our mutual friendship. While I may still have feelings for him and would like to have our friendship to resume I do not believe that it will, and I fear that this will be what permanently brings out my dark side that is going to drive me to be the man everyone in Smallville always thought that I was and the man Clark Kent used to believe that I wasn’t. The man that he would defend me against to his family and friends. Telling them that I wasn’t like my father, the man who I fear is who I am becoming.
