A/N: Yeah, I went there. Oh god oh god oh god, it's done. Look for the sequel when I feel like writing it.
“Relax, Clark,” Lex said, putting the pistol on the desk. “It’s a plastic bullet. It wouldn’t have killed you.”
Lex walked towards him, closing the distance while Clark was still confused. As he approached, Clark could feel the tell-tale signs of the meteor rock. It glinted menacingly from the setting of the ring on Lex’s left hand, and he felt as if he couldn’t breathe.
Lex tore Clark’s shirt open, the buttons popping onto the floor. “Not a scratch,” Lex said, almost sarcastically. “It could have killed you. It probably should have killed you,” he admitted, “but you haven’t even got a single scratch.” Lex let go of the shirt, dropping Clark roughly to the floor.
“It must be a side effect of the transformation-”
“It was never the element,” Lex told him, almost conversationally. “My experts have studied the legends surrounding it intensively, and not a single one of them mentions superhuman powers.”
“I’m not-” Clark tried to stammer a response. “I can’t do all that stuff that Lionel-”
“Give it up, Clark,” Lex told him, cutting him off. “You’ve always got a convenient excuse, don’t you? That or everybody mysteriously loses their memory, and you’re always in the middle of it all.”
“First you shoot me, now I get a lecture?” Clark interjected, but Lex was intractable.
“You lied to me. All those times that unexplained things kept happening to you, they weren’t unexplained at all. You’ve had these,” Lex groped for a word, “abilities since the day I met you.”
Clark took a deep breath. There was no persuading him now that he had all the evidence neatly in hand. “Lex, please, you’ve got to understand, if anybody knew-”
“I was your best friend, Clark! If I had known, I could have protected you!” Lex laughed bitterly. “But you never trusted me, and you never will.”
Clark couldn’t respond. His worst nightmare was coming true, and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.
“You lied to all of us,” Lex told him. “You betrayed me, Clark.”
“I’m sorry,” Clark said, with a weary sigh.
“Get the hell out of my office,” Lex said in a tight, cold voice. Clark turned his back and walked away.
