Which Clark Is Mine?

Lionel is finally up. Clark snuck out really early, not knowing Lex was gone, and went to question Lex’s father in the hospital. Lex left for the office super early to figure out what was going on, knowing his father would not tell him a thing.
Clark snuck past the hospital staff and into Lionel’s room. Not too long after arriving, things got heated.
“Clark, what are you doing here? I should call the police.” Lionel said.
“It is me, you moron.” 'Clark' said. “I did not find anything at the mansion. Lex has changed the pass word.”
They saw the door knob turning, and as the door opened, Clark appeared. "Lionel, is this a bad time?" The nurse was just leaving.
“Thank you, if I need anything, I’ll call you.” Lionel smiled.
“Clark, how are you?”
“How did you do it?” Clark said angrily.
“Clark, what are you ranting about this time, my son.” Lionel sneered at Clark, trying to lie.
“Why insult my intelligence, I never insult yours, Lionel.” Clark pretends to feel a bit hurt. NOT!!
“Who is this guy parading around as Lex and me?” Clark demanded. “Last night, while Lex was here, his car was stolen by, who else, but a guy or something pretending to be him. How is that possible?”
“This man has been seen with you quite a bit, I understand. He was here a few hours after Lex left.” Clark crossed his arms waiting for Lionel's next lie.
The nurse called him, “She said you where walking around the halls, and when she went to your room, you were asleep.” Clark relayed to him. “How is any of this possible?”
Lionel looked at Clark, “Are you done, son? Can I talk, or are you going to ramble the whole time you are here?”
Lionel removed his glasses and placed his book beside the bed. “It is an experiment gone wrong.”
“What else is new?” Clark butted in.
“Are you going to let me finish?” Lionel looked at him, eyebrows raised high.
“Okay, finish.” Clark looked into his eyes with a hard stare.
“We were trying to find a way to help the military go under cover on their missions. We found Tina Greer. She was affected by the first meteor shower.” Lionel stated.
“Tina Greer; I know her from grade school, I think.” Clark said.
“We ran some experiments on her. I thought she was ready for her trial run to get information from Lex about 33.1.” Lionel said.
“What about 33.1?” Clark said.
“It is a place where bad things happen.” Lionel admitted.
“And, what you are doing is not bad?” Cark asked in a snappy voice.
“I want to help the government; they are putting quite a bit of money into this operation.” Lionel admitted.
“Figures,” Clark rolled his eyes.
“Let me finish, please.” Lionel tried sounding sincere. “I snuck her out for a private mission. To see how she was progressing in her treatment; I was wrong to take her out before she was ready.”
“Ya think” Clark said sarcastically.
“Okay, I deserve that, I guess.” Lionel lowered his head.
“How do we fix it?” Clark demanded.
“I’ll call the police right now to clear your name.” Lionel said.
A nurse entered, looked at Clark, and screamed. “Call the police.” She turned back around and Clark was gone.
Orderlies came running. By the time they got there, the nurse was confused.
“Never mind; I guess I just thought I saw Mr. Kent in the room.” the nurse shook her head.

At the office, Lex is looking at a picture of Clark he put on his desk this morning.
“Why is this happening to us, my dear?” Lex looked teary-eyed. “My father will pay for this.”
Just then, a green smoke filled the room. Lex started coughing and grabbed his throat, falling to the floor. He had passed out only for a few minutes, which left him disoriented and a bit nauseated.
“What the hell; how did I get on the floor?” Lex questioned himself, confused. He shook his head, trying to figure out what had just happened.
One of the security guards rushed in, “Mr. Luthor, someone is in the building. We need to get you somewhere safe, sir.”
Lex looked up at him, angered. “I’ve been hit with some kind of gas. What was it?”
“It is Lionel, sir, or so we thought.” the guard admitted.
“What? My father is in the hospital, still.” Lex said.
“I know. It looked like him, but his prints did not match on the computer.”
“So, how did this person get in?” Lex was pissed at this point. “I have a mind to fire who ever let this impersonator into my building. Find him KNOW or you will be looking for a new job, as well.”
“Yes, sir. Right way.”
“All the screenings on my guards and shit like this happens,” Lex said.
Then, Lex realized what the smoke was: the Veritas solution. “I had a feeling this would bite me in the ass one day. It always does.”
Lex looked up at the doorway; Clark was standing there, looking hard at Lex. He scrambled to his feet and ran to the desk to grab his gun. Pointing at Clark, he asked, “Who are you? What do you want with me and Clark?”
As he was asking this question, the person changed in front of his eyes. “It is me, Lex, you do not recognize me? Oh, that is right, you’re gay now. Since I do not have a dick, I’m worthless to you, or should I say, since I’m not Clark's dick it meant nothing to you.”
Lex squinted his eyes and said, “Tina.”
He walked toward her with the gun pointing at her head. “Why are you trying to hurt Clark? He has nothing to do with this, what so ever.”
“Jealousy, Alexander; revenge for how you broke my heart. Go ahead, shoot if you can!” Tina teased.
As he pulled the trigger, she vanished.
He asked himself, “How does my father play into all of this?” He told the guard the perpetrator was gone, but to keep a look out.
“Any more mishaps and it will be someone’s head. Got it?” Lex warned all the guards.
Lex went to pay his loving father a visit at the hospital, with his newfound talent.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clark had gone to the Daily Planet to see Chloe and Jimmy. The team sat down as Clark filled them in on what was going on.
Chloe was typing Tina name into the computer. To her surprise, she found Lex’s company was doing experiments on the poor girl.
“Lex, why do you do shit like this?” thought Clark. “How can I love a man like this?”
“Clark, are you okay? You look weird. It’s Lex-information-overload; happens to me at the time.” She glanced at Jimmy with a quick smile and then back down to her computer screen. “You go to Lex; see what is going on at that end. We’ll stay here and see what else we can dig up.”
“Okay, call if you get anything. Thanks.” Clark flashed a smile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the hospital, Lex entered his father’s room. “Hello, father, how are you feeling?” Lex had a wide spread smile cross his face.
Lionel felt a bit strange, but answered Lex’s question. “I’ll be fine, son, nothing new for us Luthors, right.” Lionel looked confused.
“So dad, what are you doing with Tina Greer?” Lex’s smile straightened.
“Tina? I let her out of your lab to catch you talking about your plan with the army of meteor-infected people you have imprisoned there,” Lionel just realized what he had said.
“Oh, going behind my back again to try to stop me. Since when do you care about anyone but yourself?” Lex asked.
“I do not. This is all about me, me, me. You are planning to take me out, like I did my parents. It runs in the blood, my son.” Lionel confessed.
“What?” Lex looked at his father, bewildered. “You did what?”
“You heard what I said. You want to kill me like I did my parents.” Lionel stated.
“I do not want to hurt you, unless you give me no choice in the matter. I have compassion for human life, unlike you.” Lex sneered.
Lionel smiled, “You have as much compassion for human life as I had for any of your 3 wives. Everyone knows I despised all of them. Trying to hurt and/or kill a Luthor. Stupid bitches.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” Lex was beginning to agree.
“I was just saying, they did not love you. They loved the money.” Lionel smile grew.
“Okay, stop, dad. We are getting off the subject. Why do you want to know about 33.1?” Lex tried getting back on track.
“Do you remember the story about Pandora’s box?” Lionel looked at Lex with concern in his eyes.
“Yes, the (box that holds grief) for the world. Only one person is said to have control over when, or if, it gets opened. In the wrong hands, the world could self-destruct.” Lex narrowed his eyes a bit. “What about it?”
“You are, in a sense, making your own type of plague for the world. I do not think you can handle it. Once it is started, it could be hard to keep it under control.” Lionel said.
“I know what I’m doing. Trust me. Leave me alone, or your prediction may come true.” Lex left the room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was late when Lex finally made it back to the mansion. Clark greeted him in the bedroom. He had the room set up for romantic tonight. Candles, oils, and a special cherry/chocolate cake Clark had made for them to enjoy together.
“Not tonight.” Lex said to Clark, “I’m not feeling well. I need some sleep.”
“Okay, Lex. Are you feeling alright? Can I do anything?” Clark looked concerned.
“I’m fine; let’s just go to bed.” Lex lay down and drifted off to sleep.
Clark kissed Lex and said good night.
