angsty future fic also still in my wip folder-this was actually started pre-rift I think. It'd be easier to complete now...if it actually had a plot.
“I’ve been waiting for you.” Lex’s voice was resolute.
“Why Lex?”
“So that big, dumb, wholesome alien thing really wasn’t an act all these years. I swear Clark you’ve regressed mentally since I first met you.” He smirked. “It was for you-everything has always been for you...”
“Are you crazy? I never asked…”
“One of the few things you didn’t.” Lex shrugged.“Stuff of legends Clark. For you to be Naman, you had to have a Seget, and since my father was no longer available, that left me.”
“Bullshit! Don’t try and make this my fault-you made a choice. I had nothing to do with it.”
“You had everything to do with it! I know what it’s like to have a father try and decide your destiny Clark-or should I say Kal? I once told you I’d do anything for my friends." He took a calming breath. "You gave up on me Clark. I realized I was never going to be the hero, but I couldn’t let you be the villain.”
“Lex…”
“It really doesn’t matter anymore. This is the end of it. So Clark why are you here? To save the world from me or to save me?”
“To save you.”
Lex nodded. “One last time.”
