    Carrier of a Secret - G - COMPLETE

    Carrier of a Secret
    Rating: G-PG13...just to be safe
    Pairing: Chloe/Lex
    Spoilers: Truth
    Disclaimer: The four lines of dialogue were taken from a transcription of episode18, season3. Complete script of the episode can be viewed here. Lyrics of the song over here. None are mine, though to have Lex on eternal loan would be truly appreciated. *grin*
    Summary: Of all the things Lex Luthor could admit to Chloe, it had to be about him yearning for his father's love. Chloe ponders what it must be to know a Luthor secret.

    A/N: Second fic, un-beta-ed. Constructive criticism please. Very open to suggestions for improvement. Ü

    ~*~*~*~*~*~
    Carrier of a secret
    No one wants to know
    Show a little conscience
    Guardian of the palace
    No one wants to go
    Broken hearted monster


    “Why do you keep doing this to yourself? Why can't you just walk away from your father?”

    “Because he won't give me the only thing I've ever wanted from him.”

    “And that would be?”

    “I want him to love me.”

    A heartbeat later, he realizes his slip and the fall of his usually cool façade further affirms his admission. I’m probably more shocked than he’ll ever be. I don’t think even Clark Kent could’ve coaxed that secret out of Lex Luthor.

    Tell me the words that'll touch me
    Tell me what's hurting you so

    Carrier of a secret
    Let your secret go


    He’s still reeling from the moment; I could sense him having an internal rant and berating himself for being so cocky. Truth serum be damned!

    He’s the one who asked to meet here in the mansion. He knew I inhaled his latest K-experiment at the plant. He willingly exposed himself to this meteor-related “power”, knowing I would get only the truth to every question I ask. Now why the hell was THAT his answer?!

    He could’ve said he wanted Lionel to bequeath LuthorCorp to him. He could've said he wanted Lionel to stop meddling in his personal life. He could've said he wanted Lionel to give him the freedom to develop LexCorp.

    Yet he revealed what his heart must be yearning for the most. His deepest, most sincere wish; the love of his father.

    Carrier of a secret
    Whispered in the dark
    What are you afraid of
    Carrier of a secret
    Hidden in your heart
    Show me what you are made of


    I could've questioned him further. I could've threatened to reveal his secret, unless he grant me a complete, on-the-record exclusive interview. I could’ve blackmailed him into giving me anything I ask for. Worse, I could’ve taunted that he’ll never get Lionel to love him, that he’ll never deserve it.

    How many mountains must you climb
    How many tears must you cry
    How many seasons must go by
    Before you let your secret fly
    How many mountains must you climb
    Before you let your secret fly


    Yet I chose to remain silent. No words are necessary or even appropriate.

    I hope you understand that this current silence is to extend indefinitely, Mr. Luthor, I think to myself. Most people might think that to be privy to a Lex Luthor secret is to be doomed with a burden, a life threat, or worse…a curse.

    Let it fly -- let it light the sky above you
    Let it fly -- let somebody try to love you


    But to me, Chloe Sullivan, it’s a blessing.

    To be the carrier of your secret is a privilege I wouldn’t dream of forfeiting. Thank you for trusting me, Lex.

    I love that scene and every interpretation of what happened after the camera cut away. Great use of a song and wonderful inner monologue from Chloe.

    It's nice to see someone realizing when Lex makes a sacrifice and leaves himself vulnerable, with out turning around and taking advantage of it.
    Her soul is senstive like a finely made tuning fork. It vibrates and resonates with every little hint of trauma, evil and monstrosity that might be humming in the air, and channels it into expressions of fiction... or recomended websites - somethingeasy

    I love your take on this scene. When I saw the actual scene, I knew there was more to it that what they showed, and I love when people expand on it.

    Re: Carrier of a Secret - G - *Complete*

    Teejei---you have such an amazing touch with those two, there is no suggestions I could ever give you about it. In fact, if I had betaed it---there would have been no changes. Well, done, sweetie. And might I add---I thought it was so incredible that the creators allowed this secret to be told to Chloe cause I know deep in her heart, she would hold it forever a secret. Lana---she would have told Lex to tell his father---that would not have been a good idea. Chloe knows what Lionel's all around---Lana's view of it would have been through rose colored glasses---Chloes, through the darkest shades ever.
