Done For
Spoilers: Forsaken
Summary: “Besides, I know you won’t let anything happen to me.” [One of the essential quotes a true CHLEXer must memorize. Ü] Lex POV during that particular “Forsaken” moment.
A/N: Thanks to all my drabbles communities in LiveJournal for exposing me to different styles, to beccap over at FF.net for inspiring me with her fics “The Life I Chose” and “The First Man You Remember”, to XMarisolX and the first drabble I ever read, “Taxes”. I know this scene has been used so many times already in videos, the opening line inserted and modified in so many fics, etc. Well, I just want to share my take on one of the ship-defining moments of CHLEX. First drabble, un-beta-ed. Constructive criticism please. Very open to suggestions for improvement. Ü
“Besides, I know you won’t let anything happen to me.”
Nobody really relied on me. Nobody ever put that much faith on my protection. Nobody ever looked at me so expectantly.
A smirk. I try to pass it for all the smiles I wanted to show, and the words of assurances to shower upon her.
Lex Luthor. The usually articulate, eloquent billionaire playboy, rendered speechless…and struggling to prove himself by a highschool girl.
The moment Chloe Sullivan beamed that mega-watt smile with a mix of trust and vulnerability in her eyes; my worst fear emerged.
Crap, I’m so done for.

Hero
Spoilers: None, I think. Do let me know if there are some.
I may not have the strength of 10 men. I may not have superspeed. I may not be invincible. I may not be a superman.
However...
I can give you a new identity or a regular column in the Daily Planet. I’ll buy any major newspaper in the country for you. I can assure protection from my father. I can take away all your pain and regrets. I can offer you the world.
Just let me in and I’ll prove my worth. Just save my soul tonight.
I may not be Clark Kent.
But I can be your hero, Chloe.

Home
Spoilers: None, I think. Do let me know if there are some.
After all the business trips, the decisions made with boardroom sharks, the meetings and negotiations, all the pointless parties and mindless chatter, and the “family moments” with his father…Lex Luthor calls it a day and prepares to go home.
But where is it?
Home is not the Metropolis penthouse. Home is not the mansion. Hell, not even the plant office is home.
Now, as cliché as it sounds, home is where the heart is. And his is currently in Smallville.
I’m coming home, Chloe; he tells her heart in his hands.
He could almost hear her reply; I’m waiting, Lex.
