As Martha and Jonathan stepped from the church, the minister spoke quietly to them. "Would you mind hanging around until I'm through here? I want to talk to you."
"Of course, Reverend." Jonathan said a bit puzzled.
Martha assumed that he might need Jonathan to do some work at the church. They made their way to the truck and Jonathan pulled off his jacket and tie as they waited. Martha took off her hat and placed it in the cab of the truck. It wasn't long before Minister Taylor hurried over to them.
"Where's Clark today?"
"Lex took him into Metropolis yesterday for the opening of the Tiffany exhibit. Clark has been fascinated with him and the Art Deco period since they talked about it at school last year." Martha told him.
"Do you think it's a good idea for Clark to be spending so much time with a Luthor?"
"Reverend Taylor, I'm shocked that a man of the cloth would say something like that." Martha frowned as Jonathan gave her a 'see I'm not the only one' look.
"Ben, why are you concerned?" Jonathan asked.
"A week ago I saw them together in the alley behind the Talon. I knew it was Luthor, his head was shining in the moonlight. He had Clark backed up against the wall and from the movement of his arm I believe he was molesting him. When I called out to them, Clark looked up at me, his eyes looked red in the light from the back door of the Talon and then they ran off."
Ben wasn't about to say they disappeared in the blink of an eye. He didn't want anyone thinking he was crazy, no matter how many weird things happened in the town.
"When I saw Clark the next day he denied it was them. He said he was working on his English paper at the time. But then the day after that I saw them together again, out on the bridge. They were struggling and then Luthor threw something he took from Clark into the river. Clark dived in after it and came up grinning at Luthor."
Jonathan let out a sound that sounded like a growl. Martha immediately jumped to Clark's defense. "I'm sure there is a logical explanation for what you saw at the river. Plus Clark was working on an English paper. I took him cookies and milk around ten and told him not to be up too late."
Jonathan turned to look at his wife, shocked that she was backing Clark up in a lie that wasn't to conceal his powers. She gave him a look in return that promised several sleepless nights on the sofa if he refuted her story.
"Martha, others are talking. The servants at the mansion drop hints but never say anything outright. It's a fact that Luthor is having his staff keep a supply of things for Clark's use. The pizza place now has an expression 'the Kent Luthor special'. Luthor's reputation is that he'll have sex with anything with a pulse. I've heard about the standing order for earrings that the females receive. The males just seem to be in it for the sex."
"Jonathan, I'm not listening to any more of this. Ben, even if Lex wanted Clark that way, he'd never force him. I've never heard any rumors of him forcing anyone. Clark is too important to Lex for him to risk the friendship for a quick…" Martha turned almost as red as her hair. She spun on her heel and opened the truck door, climbing inside.
Jonathan shrugged at the minister and walked around to get into the truck with Martha. Ben leaned into the window and spoke softly. "Martha, I know you want to see the best in everyone, but it just isn't normal for a man Luthor's age and station to be hanging out with a teen. The rumors are flying hot and fast. Best to put a stop to the relationship before rumors become fact."
"Jonathan, take me home before I say something unforgivable."
Jonathan put the truck in gear and pulled away from the church. Once they were on the road he looked over at Martha.
"We need to find out what Lex threw into the river."
"I think we already know."
"Martha, if Lex is leading Clark on…"
"Jonathan, Clark has all the power in the relationship, haven't you figured that out yet? Lex would die for Clark, and I'm afraid Clark would follow soon after."
"What do you mean?"
"Wake up and smell the coffee, Jonathan. The two of them are entwined, like it or not. Lex is probably the only one on Earth who could accept how alien our son is. I'm sure he's the only one who could protect him."
"Protect him? Have you lost your mind?"
"No, I'm just practical. We have to stop acting like Clark is a little boy. We know nothing about his planet, his real age, why he was sent here. Maybe he was rejected by his people. Maybe he was a freak there. He certainly feels like one here. Lex can relate to that, can help him cope with that."
"What if Lex rejects him? Finds out that Clark and his ship caused the changes to him?"
"He'll accept all that."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Lex loves our son."
"He's a Luthor."
"He's also Lillian's son."
Jonathan had no reply for that. No one in Smallville knew
that Lillian was Martha's cousin. It was a tie that had never been exposed, it
was also one of the reasons Lionel had helped them keep

Lex sipped from a glass of water as he watched his lover bend forward to study the stained glass of the lamp in the display. Clark's head turned and he gave Lex a predatory smile. Lex shook his head slightly as Clark's eyes flared red. He turned abruptly and headed for the men's room.
Clark followed and the two of them were soon locked in a
stall together. The sex was quick and rough, marks of possession being left on Lex's body as
As they entered the penthouse, the phone began to ring. Lex crossed the room and picked up the handset.
"Luthor here."
"Lex, I need to speak to
Lex gave Clark a wave and held out the phone. "It's Martha; seems to have her panties in a bunch."
Clark grinned as he reached for the phone. "Hi, Mom."
"Tell Lex my panties are none of his concern."
Clark chuckled and rolled his eyes as Lex grinned at him. "I'll tell him. Why are you calling?"
"Clark, you need to come home. I heard something disturbing today."
"I'm not coming home until tomorrow, that's what we agreed on. Now what is it you heard?"
"Ben Taylor told us today that there is a lot of gossip spreading about you and Lex."
"That? Mom, that's been happening since about two minutes after I dragged him from the river. You know Smallville runs on gossip. They will always be talking some trash about Lex. Besides, I imagine most of it is close to the truth."
"Clark!"
"Mom, you and Dad need to face the facts. Lex is mine. He has been since the first time I saw him."
Clark smiled at Lex as his lover frowned. Lex curved his body around Clark's as Clark squeezed one of his ass cheeks. He managed to repress a moan as his dick began to rise.
"Clark, I understand all that, but you are still underaged. They could see this as us being bad parents and try to put you in foster care."
"Lex would never let that happen."
"He wouldn't have a say if they accused him of molesting you."
"Mom, get real. Lex couldn't and wouldn't do that."
"Clark, this is serious. Let me speak to Lex."
"She wants to talk to you now."
Lex buried his face in Clark's throat and groaned. He took the phone and spoke cautiously into it. "Hi, Martha."
"Lex, he needs to come home and you two need to stay away from each other. The gossip is getting out of hand. Ben Taylor told us he saw you molesting Clark."
"Do you believe I molest him?"
"Lex, I know you can't do anything to him he doesn't want. But the town doesn't know that. If we don't do something now they will think we're selling our son to the billionaire in the mansion."
"Martha, anyone who knows you would never think that."
"Lex, Ben saw you two fighting on the bridge, too."
"You know what was going on then."
"Lex, this isn't Metropolis. We have to live with these people."
Clark pulled the phone from Lex's hand. "You have to live with them, we don't."
Lex heard Martha scream Clark's name before the crushed phone was dropped on the floor.
"Time to move to Metropolis, Lex."
"Clark, you need to think about this."
"We both know it was just a matter of time. I'm old
enough to be emancipated. I'm sure you can find a few bucks to take care of
that."
Clark stripped them between breaths. Lex whimpered as a thick finger stroked over the cleft of his ass before slipping between his cheeks. The red stone in the ring on that finger glowed brighter as the two men became lost in each other.

As Clark and Lex worshiped each other's bodies in Metropolis, Martha sobbed in Smallville. When Jonathan went to Jor-El to make a deal, he was turned away. Jor-El knew that Lex Luthor would lead Kal-El to his destiny. The Kents would only get in the way of that.
In Metropolis the storm of their passion wore itself out just before dawn. The lovers slept entwined, in perfect mimicry of the cave painting. Soon the time would come, the lovers would rule with power and mercy. But first the bond must be completed.
Jor-El could wait; after all they had centuries to be together.
