Smallville Fic: The Yukon Menagerie
This is a 240 word Smallville drabble for the Numbers Challenge at 1_million_words Enjoy! A/N: In my Smallville universe, Chloe and Lex are happily married and in love-Lex is still a somewhat gray character but he is not full on evil. After all, he adores ice dancing!
Lex Luthor was normally a very calm and patient man but watching his wife running around their kitchen baking pies of assorted flavors since the crack of dawn was driving him crazy.
And he swore she was psychic because as soon as the thought crossed his mind to call Lois and Clark for reinforcements, Chloe decided to throw him a sunny smile.
He wandered around the kitchen island and counted five macaroni and cheese with bacon pies, six Frito chili cheese pies and four shepherd pies.
He cleared his throat pointedly to get his wife’s attention again and when Chloe glanced up he gestured grandly to all of the pies. “Not that I don’t adore your cooking--no make that baking--such interesting pies, can I ask what inspired your four hundred and twenty four minutes of insane baking?”
Chloe shook her head in amusement. “I’ve been baking for the past seven hours and four minutes”-Chloe paused to give her husband her own significant look-“because we’re having the Superfriends over for our first official Nationals Figure Skating party.”
He blinked in surprise. “Nationals are today?”
His wife started laughing at his confusion. “The skating events are being shown all weekend, but we decided to have the party today so we can watch all of the events ‘live’.”
Lex looked at all of the food in anticipation. “Alright, let’s break out the nachos and start watching some ice dancing!”
