Any Other Day

by Mindige0

“Please….” Was passed through the lips of a naked, dark haired male teen lying on the dirt floor of what looked to be an old saw mill or large barn.

“I do like when you beg, Kent ” another voice said with a decidedly evil smile on its face, stroking his purpling cock while watching the naked male on the dirt floor.

“No” the teen on the floor whispered hating that he had said anything at all now. He had thought that when he pleaded that the other two males with the third teen would hear his plea and help him, but it seemed that this was not the case.

“Say it again Kent , or do you like it when Luthor calls you Clark better?” The first teen spoke still watching Clark on the floor and wondering how much longer he would have to wait before having another go at Clark; Clark on the other hand laid on the ground hoping against hope that when Pete ran out of the structure that he had gone and got help. He of course had no hope that he would since Pete had always talked about being apart of the ‘Senior Prank' and also being with the crowd that put on said prank and since the guys of the crowd now stood surrounding him he didn't think Pete would be do anything besides be in denial.

“ Kent answer me!” The guy that had his cock out screamed while kicking Clark when he spoke. Clark knew that any answer he gave would get him into more trouble than he already was so he just groaned and hoped that they would leave him be.

“Since you won't answer” the boy said before waving his hands to the others so that they could hold Clark down while he mounted him and entered Clark 's body for the second time that evening. The pain that came from being violated in such a way made Clark cry, not wanting to voice his pain since it seemed to turn on the boy who was riding him harshly.

“Like that do you” the boy asked before barking out orders to the other two teens that stood by and watched with what Clark thought was horror on their faces.

“Go and get the cross ready, we will hang him up after we have something to eat and I have another go at him” the boy said before waiting for the two others to respond to his command. Once they left and he was certain they were gone the teen on top of Clark began to pull out a knife and started to speak in what most would think was a loving but crazy manner.

“You are mine! Not Luthors do you understand?” When no answer was forth coming from Clark the teen decided to make a permanent mark on Clark to show whose he was.

“Since you seem to not want to answer me, I will just have to make a permanent mark of ownership on you” the teen said before pulling slightly out of Clark's body to get a position that he knew would make Clark moan in pleasure, if it weren't for the fact that he was being raped by a fellow classmate. A few more thrusts from the teen and he emptied himself for the second time that night into Clark 's unwilling body.

“Now to mark you” the teen said running the knife up and down Clark 's back deciding on where to put his mark, while leaving trails of blood in the wake of the knife. He had done this before with a previous boyfriend and it had turned him on knowing that the other person was marked for life by him. He had fucked his boyfriend raw when he saw the mark and to this day it still turned him on.

“I think right here will work out nicely” the teen said before pulling Clarks now pliant body towards him so that he could get a better angle for drawing his initials on Clark 's body. The first stroke of the knife on Clark 's left lower hip bones had him screaming out in pain.

“There, there” the teen said before continuing on what he was doing for a few minutes more before the two other teens made their way back from making the cross that Clark would be hung up on as the *finale* of the ‘Senior Prank'.

“Shawn, what the hell?” A blonde headed teen screamed out making both Clark and the boy behind him turn and look at him. One looked out in fear, pain and sadness while the other looked on with glee on his face.

“I'm marking him, he was a good fuck and I won't have Luthor not knowing that I fucked what was his” Shawn, the one that had raped Clark said with a smile on his face as if his explanation made perfect sense.

“Dude, you're fucked”

“If you can't take it, leave Fordman” Shawn said a hard edge to his voice making the blonde headed teen turn and look at the pair on the floor again.

“I hung Kent up as a freshman and I plan to hang him up as a senior, so just finish what ever the hell you are doing so we can eat and then we can hang him up.”

“All right, fine” Shawn said before running the blade just a bit deeper a few more times and then pulling away for one final kick to Clark's ribs that were already bruised and turning a horrible shade of purple/blue.

“We'll need to lock him up” the third boy said making the other two turn and remember that he was there.

“Yeah, Kent does have a tendency to disappear when you need him” the blonde boy said eyeing Clark and wondering where to put him.

“How about here?” The third boy said pointing out a room that had a small cot in it and looked to be some sort of work room from many, many years ago.

“Excellent” Shawn said before going into the room and make sure that it was clear of anything that Clark would try and use to get out of the room for he wanted at least one more go at Clark before they would hang him and take photos for the ‘Senior Prank' for the Torch.

“Well Fordman, help Dick put him in there” Shawn said before going over to Clark 's clothes and wiping his knife on the pants that were on the top of the pile. He watched the whole scene with a critical eye, making sure that neither Whitney nor Dick were touching Clark in a manner that spoke of more than ‘prank' feelings for the other teen.

“Ready?”

“Yeah, let's go” Dick said before backing out of the room last and finding a heavy metal rod to put through the hole in the door that once held a lock.

“Where to?” Shawn asked casually as if it was every day that you would take a classmate and rape them and then lock them up before going to eat.

“The Talon, Lana can hook us up with something to eat” Whitney said eyeing the door and wondering how things had gotten so out of hand so quickly.

“Sweet, your girl rocks!” Dick said before making his way towards the brand new truck that sat outside of the building.

“We are going to have to get rid of his truck” Shawn said once they had driven away from the building and where making their way into town and to the Talon where Lana would be waiting for her boyfriend as she worked. The other two nodded their heads and then started blaring the town's rock radio station on the way into town.

~Saw Mill~

Clark looked around the room he had been placed in and had to wonder on how the ‘Senior Prank' had gone from humiliating him one more time to this, this horror parallel universe where he was being raped by Shawn Barclay with Whitney Fordman and Dick Turner watching and not doing anything to help him. He knew the two didn't like him much, but this was just plain crazy, but so was his ‘best friend' making him come out here and become the victim to Shawn's twisted mind for a senior prank.

Clark dared not to speak for fear of having Shawn come back in and attack him one more time, he wasn't sure if he would be able to survive another attack so soon, he was really sure if he was surviving now. When he heard the distinct rumble of Shawn's truck start up Clark finally let go of a breath he had been holding since he had been placed into the room that smelled of saw dust and dirt.

“What to do, what to do” Clark mumbled to himself, thinking on if calling his parents would be a good idea. They had gone over to Lansing to visit some friends and he didn't expect them back until tomorrow sometime. He knew that calling Pete was out since he was the one that made him come out here with the promise of bonding time since Pete had taken to hanging with Whitney, Shawn and Dick after making the football team. Both Chloe and Lana were out but for very different reason, Chloe due to her wanting an exclusive about what had happened and Lana because she was Whitney's girlfriend and Clark was not stupid enough to call Lana and tell her to help when Whitney along with Shawn and Dick were sitting right there in front of her acting as if nothing was wrong. That left only one person and that one person Clark had been avoiding for the past two weeks do to a fight that they hand over some silly.

*~Flash Back~*

“Lex you can't actually expect me to answer that do you?” Clark said shock on his face at what he thought was his best friend just asked him.

“Yes I do” Lex said his voice telling Clark how serious he was about what he had just asked the other man.

“That's personal!” Clark said now outraged over the thought of having to answer Lex's question.

“ Clark just answer the question, do you find me attractive?”

“I….I….you…you….yes, fine. There. Happy?” Clark said before storming out of the room and then castle, embarrassed that Lex had asked the question and even more embarrassed to having answered the question that yes in fact he did find Lex attractive, if Clark were to admit it he would say that he found Lex very attractive and very, very sexy but he was glad for not being asked that since he stormed out of the castle. Clark had left a shocked Lex in the den, and by the time that Lex had woken out of his shock. Clark was long gone and by then taken up the idea to avoid Lex and the castle at all possible costs.

*~End of Flash Back~*

“Lex it is” Clark said with a sigh and sadness in his voice. When he had left the castle he figured that he would have been receiving at least one phone call from Lex ribbing him about his attraction to him, but that had yet to happen and since Clark had seen Lex into town with some brown haired, doe eyed beauty that Clark had a hard time hating until she started pointing and giggling at him to Lex. Clark slowly opened his left hand which had been holding his cell phone the whole time he had been raped by Shawn. He had hoped that the phone wouldn't ring and that he wouldn't break it while being raped, luck was on his side since it seemed that the phone not only didn't ring but seemed to be in working order even after being in his hand all that time. As soon as Clark released the phone his hand began to cramp up do to the amount of time he had been holding the phone in his hand, with his right hand he opened up the phone and scrolled through the phone book and found Lex's cell phone number. He knew that it was a fifty-fifty chance that he would get Lex on his cell phone that night, since he had remembered Lex telling him about some event that he had to go to before Clark 's confession. Clark 's hand shook as he pressed the green button and then heard the phone ringing waiting to connect to the phone dialed. It was after the third ring that Clark began to loose hope; Lex always answered his phone on the first two rings when it was Clark . He had noticed that one day when he was waiting for the other man at the Talon, he had called and heard the phone go off and on the second ring he heard Lex's voice it just confirmed his thoughts that maybe there was something more to their friendship.

“Luthor” Lex barked into his phone not noticing the phone number do to being in a boring as all get out conversation with his date and her ‘friends' which really just meant women that wanted him but couldn't have him.

“Lex” Clark said faintly, wondering if calling Lex at all was a good idea. Denver wasn't that far away and with his parents being in Lansing , a suburb of the large metropolis they could be home within the night to help him. That of course wouldn't stop the prank from continuing but they would be there to help him none the less.

“Clark” Lex said his voice warming up at hearing from Clark . He had been shocked when his *male and only* friend had said he found him attractive. It had angered him that Clark had said nothing but then he realized that Clark would always worry over his reaction to everything and this was a big thing to have to worry over. He hadn't pushed to see his friends and it had hurt that Clark had been avoiding him but now hearing his voice, even though it did sound a little off made him feel so much better.

“Lex, help me” Clark whispered into the phone before becoming silent, listening to make sure that the trio was not on their way back in.

“Clark” Lex said now breaking away from the group of women leaving them all shocked that he sounded concerned about the person named Clark and not for his date that was looking at him as if he had lost his mind.

“Help me” Clark said before listening again and hearing nothing, it was at this time that Lex became very concerned over what was going on.

“Clark, Clark” Lex said in a panic making the women near him stare at him, while his date looked like she was ready to breath fire at Lex for not paying any attention to her as he had been for the last two hours, he had been well on his way to getting laid but now she was thinking otherwise.

“At Elmsford Saw Mill, come quick” Clark said before groaning at hearing Shawn's loud truck pulling back up to the building.

“ Clark what's going on? Clark!” Lex screamed into the phone as he made his way out of the event and to the valet that were standing around looking bored.

“Come quick and love you” Clark said before hanging up the phone and then turning it off to make sure that none of the three teen that were making their way back to him knew that he had the phone and had called for help.

“ Clark !” Lex screamed into the phone only to push the 1 button and receiving Clark 's voice mail.

“Fuck all!” Lex said as he made his way to the first car in a line of cars that looked to be packed in like sardines.

“Where are the keys to this car?”

“Mr. Luthor, would you like…..”

“No just give me the keys to this fucking car” Lex said making the guy who was trying to help shake in his valet jacket.

“Here” the valet attendant said before handing Lex the keys and getting a quick thanks before he sped off into the night time air of Metropolis.

“That ain't good” the valet attendant said before going back over to where the others stood trying to keep warm in the cooling night air.

“Lex Luthor!” Lex's date screamed as she came out of the Metropolis Symphony Orchestra Building , in her long blue sleeveless dress.

“Can I help you Miss….” A valet attendant said eyeing the woman and the outfit she had on and the words that she just screamed.

“Where is Lex fucking Luthor?” She screamed at the attendant making him not want to help her any more.

“Left” the attendant said before going back over to the group and continuing on with what they were doing.

“What!?” The woman said before stomping back into the building and making a bee line for one person she knew would get Lex back, Lionel Luthor.

“Lex Luthor here” Lex rattled over the phone as he made phone call after phone call to line up a helicopter to Smallville and also have a waiting group of security personnel there when he arrived. Some thing was very wrong with Clark and he was going to make sure that things were taken care of with the utmost professionalism and care for this was not only Lex's best friend this was also Lex's secret love. Lex soon arrived to the LuthorCorp Tower where the helicopter was waiting for him with spinning rotors ready to take him back to Smallville when his cell phone rang.

“Luthor” Lex barked into the phone not looking at the caller ID knowing that it wasn't Clark and if it wasn't Clark he didn't really care who called since he was already making his way towards the top of the tower and to the helicopter that awaited him there.

“Alexander” Lionel said into the phone with a bit of amusement in his voice. He always found it funny that his son had taken up the habit of barking his last name into the phone like he did, when he had heard from his son that he was nothing like him time and again.

“Not now dad” Lex said before Lionel heard a ding that let him know that his son was some where with an elevator, which wasn't a good sign at all.

“Alexander is there a reason that you left Ms. Burke here at the Metropolis Symphony Orchestra's Annual Silent Auction, alone?” Lex heard the unasked question, ‘where are you going?' and decided that he didn't have time to play his father's word games.

“Pressing matter” Lex said once he made his way to a wall of glass that showed the helicopter was indeed waiting for him. He hung up the phone without even bothering to say good-bye and then he made his way onto the helipad to where the captain of the helicopter was waiting for him.

“Ready!?” The captain yelled over the noise the rotors were making, Lex nodded his head in the positive and they both got into the helicopter ready for the short flight to Smallville.

~Elmsford Saw Mill~

“I still say she has the hots for me” Dick said as he made his way into the large room where most of the saw mill equipment sit rusting do to years of disuse.

"Right and I am best friends with Chloe Sullivan” Whitney said with a roll of his eyes totally forgetting for a moment that he along with two others had Clark Kent locked into a room waiting for more pain from them.

“Whatever” Dick said before stopping since Shawn had stopped in front of him and seemed to be looking for something.

“Dude?” Dick said wondering if Shawn had lost his mind completely now.

“Nothing” Shawn said with a wave of his hand before starting his walk over to where Clark lay curled in a ball in the room that they had placed him in before they left, hoping that Lex would come and soon.

“Go and get the cross and the body paint, plus figure out what to do with that truck of his” Shawn said not taking his eyes off of the door that still had the metal bar they had placed on it there.

“Alright” Dick said knowing that if they said anything of importance now Shawn would not hear it for he was dead set on taking Clark one last time, or at least for the time being if the way that Shawn told the story was true. Once Dick and Whitney saw Shawn nod his head they headed outside to try and figure out what to do with the Kent truck and to also bring in the cross and the body paint which they picked up on the way back to the mill.

“There you are” Shawn said once he had opened the door to the room that smelled of saw dust. Clark 's only response was to curl into a ball tighter and hope that Shawn would go away or that they would hang him up and be done with him.

“The boys are taking care of some last minute details, you shouldn't have come with that truck of yours” Shawn said his voice sounding like he was scolding a child and not someone the same age that he was.

“They'll figure something out but in the mean time” Shawn said while making his way over to where Clark lay on the cot that had been in the room trying to make him self as small as possible.

“I get to have my fun with you” Clark so wanted to plead with Shawn but since the last time only resulted in another rape he bit his lips to keep any words from coming out of his mouth.

“Nothing to say precious?” Shawn said in a cooing type voice that made Clark want to vomit.

“You will” Shawn said before taking out his already hard cock and roughly stabbing Clark with it, making Clark scream out in pain. Clark wasn't sure what made him speak but words soon started to flow from his mouth.

“Please stop….please” Clark said tears running down his face as Shawn pumped into him finding his release within the unwilling body below him.

“You know you like it; does Luthor give it to you nice and slow like he loves you or hard and fast like the whore that you are?” Shawn said pushing Clark to the point where he began to vomit due to the words he was hearing from Shawn and the horrible pictures that he painted when he spoke about Lex so cruelly.

“Stop that!” Shawn said before thrusting into Clark one last time and emptying him self into Clark's body before roughly pulling out and beating Clark for vomiting making the room's smell change to something that Shawn couldn't stand to be near. Clark continued vomiting for a few moments longer which made Shawn kicked him in the head and leave the room fuming over the now lost chance to have Clark one more time. He had seen how much effort it had taken both Dick and Whitney to get Clark in the room and he knew he wouldn't be able to drag the other teen out without some sort of help. It was five minutes later that Dick and Whitney made their way back to the saw mill only to see Shawn glaring at the open door and sitting near the open door of the saw mill.

“Shawn” Whitney asked wondering what had happened in the short amount of time they were gone.

“He threw up” Shawn said before glaring once more at the door where Clark now lay on the floor a pool of blood collecting between his legs and vomit near where his mouth lay now. When Whitney heard the words he wrinkled his nose and asked Shawn what he wanted to do next.

“Put him on the cross and be done with him” Shawn said disgusted that Clark had thrown up while he was having a good time.

“Right, we got a plan for the truck too so we will take care of that once Kent is on the cross and in the flatbed of your truck.” Whitney said before he and Dick made their way over to the room to pick up Clark and put him on the cross that they had lying on the floor of the saw mill.

“You going to help?” Whitney said before pointing to some ropes that they had cut while trying to figure out what to do with the Kent truck while not crashing it.

“I have a better idea” Shawn said an evil smile on his face as he looked over to where there seemed to be some sort of nail gun sitting on a work bench of some sort.

“Are you crazy?” Whitney said almost dropping the dead weight of Clark since he had passed out when they began to move him.

“Just a little bit” Shawn said coming over with the nail gun and waiting for the pair to lower Clark to the cross. It would be fitting for Clark to be hung up on the cross like Jesus, since it was always said that Clark was like some sort of God do to how good he was to the town's people.

“You have to be kidding” Whitney said turning to Dick and seeing that the other boy looked at Shawn with a bit of fear in his eyes.

“Do something” Whitney said with a shout making Shawn laugh.

“He won't do anything, he knows his place”

“This is just fucked” Whitney said now at a loss as to what to do, he didn't want to be apart of this now that Shawn had lost his mind but he really, really didn't want to leave Clark there with him even if he hated the other teen.

“Just put him down, I'll take care of the rest. You go and do whatever for that truck of his and Dick and I will carry him out” Shawn said knowing that Whitney would do as he was told, he always did and he always would; ‘such the follower in leader's clothing' Shawn thought before he saw Whitney's back just as he thought he would.

“Shawn are you sure about that?” Dick said tilting his head towards the gun that lay in Shawn's hands once Whitney was gone and they were alone with a semi-awake Clark now.

“He threw up while I was fucking him, he deserves a punishment for that” Shawn said knowing that Dick wouldn't say anything since he had been in on the idea of beating Clark and then hanging him as the famous Scarecrow for the big homecoming game that was to happen the next day. Dick just nodded his head and positioned Clark to where his body lay on the cross as it had when he was a freshman and Whitney had thought it was a good idea back then to hang him up in only his boxers and now would be the same. Clark could only hope that Lex would come and save him like he did the first time, and it was with that last thought running through his mind that Shawn shot a nail into each of Clark's hands leaving him screaming out in pain and then blacking out because of how much pain he was in.

“Fucker” Shawn said before he grabbed his side of the cross and with Dick lifting the other side with fear in his eyes. He never thought that Shawn would do something so crazy, but if he really admitted even to himself Shawn had been recently obsessed with Clark and given Shawn's past with other guys in the area it shouldn't have surprised him as it did. It was slow work getting both Clark and the cross out the large saw mill doors since Shawn was not a large man and couldn't keep his side up high enough to meet that of Dick's side. It was once Clark, cross and all was loaded on the back of Shawn's truck and Dick was in the passenger side while Whitney sat in the driver's side of Clark 's truck, that in pulled a group of cars that had all three boys worried. It was the lead car, that of a black Infiniti M45 and the bald man jumping out of the passenger side that had them all swearing.

“Where's….” Lex started only to stop when he saw Clark naked and nailed body to the cross on the back of Shawn's truck.

“Holy mother” another voice sounded out in the silence that reigned around the area due to the way that Clark looked hanging on the cross. Lex said nothing before waving the men that had gotten out of the cars that followed them to where Clark now lay semi-awake and looking for someone to save him from the hell he was in.

“Clark” Lex said his voice showing more emotions than most of the people in the town of Smallville and Metropolis thought he possessed. Clark turned his head toward where he heard his named being called hoping that it was Lex there to save him and not Shawn playing some sort of trick on him.

“Lex” Clark whispered out afraid to speak for fear of having Shawn beat him or worse rape him again.

“Stay the fuck away from him! He's mine!” Shawn screamed before jumping out of the truck and making his way towards the flatbed to punish Clark for calling out Lex's name, even though said man was there.

“Arrest him” Lex said without stopping in his path to where Clark was now crying since he had seen Lex and knew that he would free from the cross and the hell that he was currently in. The police that had come with Lex took all three boys into custody and drove off without a second thought because of the horror that they had found upon arriving to the saw mill.

“Leopold, start collecting evidence and securing the scene and I will start with the photos until the crime scene team and get here” a male said before starting to snap photos of the saw mill and of Clark, who was still hanging on the cross by the nails in which Shawn had nailed him with.

“Lex” Clark whispered once he saw the police car pull off with Shawn, Dick and Whitney in the back of it.

“I'm right here” Lex said putting a hand on Clark's cheek and coming into view making Clark relax just a bit.

“Hicks get started for I want him off this *thing* now” Lex barked out to a tall gray haired man who had been directing people in black suits around the scene.

“Mr. Luthor” a police officer said only to have Lex cut him off.

“I want my own investigation of this” Lex said his voice as cold as it was when he was taking over multi-million dollar companies in board rooms in Metropolis. The police officer only nodded his head before going back to the car to radio the station to let them know what was going on and that the police chef may be needed for this case instead of the sergeant since his son had just been arrested and was on his way to the police station for booking.

“Love you Lex and I'm sorry” Clark croaked out of dry throat.

“No need to be sorry and I love you as well” Lex said a smile playing on his lips at being able to declare his love to Clark without a fear of being rejected. A smile made its way to Clark 's dry, cracked lips which made them bleed.

“Hicks!” Lex called out wondering what was taking the man so long to get what he needed should the evidence for the case disappear as it had seemed to do on occasion when Shawn Barclay was involved.

“Mr. Luthor” Hicks said after arriving to Lex's side where he sat on the flatbed of the truck running his thumb over Clark's cheek since he couldn't hold onto Clark 's hand.

“I want him down now!”

“I understand Mr. Luthor but the scene is almost done being processed and we wanted to make sure that we got everything the police did.”

“Fine, but if you and your team are not over here with the paramedics in the next ten minutes, you won't have to worry about this crime scene any longer”

“Lex, stop that” Clark said making Lex stop mid-rant about what he planned to do to Hicks should he not do as he was told, Hicks was shocked when Lex took a deep breath and let it out before nodding his head and speaking.

“I am sorry about that, but can you make sure that Clark is off of this as soon as possible.”

“Now was that hard to say?” Clark joked before Lex shook his head and smiled at Clark . Hicks stepped away and began shouting out orders to his team do to what he needed to finish up with the crime scene. He had always respected Lex Luthor but never in a million years had he thought that he would see the young Luthor in love the way that he was in love with the young man on the cross.

Five minutes later had both the police crime scene unit as well the security team that Lex had hired collecting and taking photos of Clark on the flatbed of the truck.

“Finished?” Lex asked for what was probably the tenth time in almost as many minutes.

“Yes we are Mr. Luthor” both the crime scene unit leader and Hicks said at the same time. Lex wasted no time in jumping back up onto the back of the truck and speaking to Clark who had begun to shake at being the focus of so much attention so soon after what had happened.

“Mr. Luthor” a paramedic dressed in a blue jumpsuit said hoping that Lex wouldn't take his head off for taking his attention off of Clark .

“What”

“Be nice Lex” Clark said noticing that the paramedic was a friend of the family. Lex only glared while Clark tried and failed to smile at the paramedic.

“Sebastian” the paramedic called out to the other man dressed the same as he was.

“Yeah?”

“Get the gurney ready and get me something to cut the wood on the cross” the paramedic said before going to work on detailing as much as he could about Clark's condition before treating what he could so that Clark would make it to the hospital. A few moments later a second man dressed in blue came up with the gurney and also a saw of some sort to cut the cross so that Clark would be able to get on the gurney without the cross on his back. They would wait to have someone take the nails out of the ends of the boards where Clark 's hand lay just to be on the safe side.

“Holy mackerel” the second paramedic second said before dropping a bag full of emergency items that they used when they went on a call. Both paramedics worked on Clark for about five minutes before the cross board was cut and Clark was helped into the gurney for the ride to the hospital where Lex would have a team of doctors waiting for them to arrive. It was just as they were about to leave that Clark remembered his cell phone was still in the room that they had locked him into.

“Wait”

“Clark” Lex said worried that something was wrong with Clark for wanting to stay there longer.

“My phone, have to get my phone” Clark said knowing that his parent's cell phone number was only on that phone unless you asked Clark for the number itself and he didn't think that he would be up to talking after he arrived to the hospital.

“Where is it?” Lex said wanting to collect the phone and leave the saw mill as soon as possible.

“In the room” Clark said not knowing what the room looked like or where it was in the building.

“What room” at that question Clark could only shake his head that he didn't know where the room was.

“Hicks” Lex called out only to have the other man arrive at his side a moment later.

“Clark says his cell phone is in a room” Lex said wondering if either the police and his security team had made their way into the saw mill to see if there was any other evidence there.

“Room” Hicks said making a police officer that was passing stop and listen in just to make sure that they had in fact collected all that they could for the case.

“Yes, did you not go into the mill and check for evidence there as well?” Lex said his voice showing his disbelief and anger at the fact that every base had not been covered by his security team.

“Mr. Luthor….” Hicks started only to be cut off by Clark .

“They didn't know just leave it, my phone is under the cot in the room” Clark said before passing out on the gurney due to the pain he was in. When Lex heard the words and then saw Clark pass out he jumped into action.

“Hicks get the phone and gather the evidence there and meet me at the hospital when you are done”

“Will do Mr. Luthor, and I am truly sorry” Hicks said before barking out some orders to his team which had the rest of the police and crime scene team stop from loading up and then following them into the saw mill only to be hit with the smell of stale sex, wood and vomit.

“Oh my….” A few of the men said as they walked into the saw mill and were hit with the smell and site that greeted them inside.

“Well what are we waiting for?” Hicks barked out making everyone scatter and start collecting evidence. It was at the site of the room and the open area of the saw mill that had both the security team and the crime scene and police team working together; for all there felt that no one should have been put through what Clark had been through and all in the name of a prank for high school. Once Hicks' and the police team had started to collect the evidence in the saw mill, Hicks made his way out to ask about the location of the cell phone once again before they left for the hospital.

“Mr. Luthor” Hicks said while Lex's back was turned away from the man and facing Clark who wouldn't take his eyes off of Lex for fear of him turning into Shawn and coming back to dish out more pain.

“Hicks” Lex said not turning around since Clark had fear written in his eyes when the other man approached them.

“I wanted to personally let you know that we have begun collecting the evidence inside the saw mill.”

“Fine”

“I also wanted to know where the cell phone is located precisely so that I may collect that my self”

“Under the cot” Clark croaked out after waking a few minutes after he had passed out before, he wanted nothing more than to go to sleep and never wake up for then he wouldn't have to deal with the fact that he had been raped and beaten up all for the ‘senior prank' that had been done since the founding of the high school and for the first graduating class almost one hundred years ago.

“Hicks” Lex said once Clark had finished speaking.

“Mr. Luthor”

“I want that phone in my hands once you finish your investigation here” Lex said making sure that Hicks understood that he didn't want the police to have the phone for fear that it would go missing and that was not something that Lex was willing to have occur, even if it was partly selfish reason.

“I understand, sir” Hicks said before walking back to the saw mill and to find the cot that Clark said his phone was under.

“Lex” Clark said with a slight smile on his face at the way that Lex was acting, it was just as Lex was going to speak that his cell phone went off.

“Luthor” Lex barked into the phone as always.

“What the hell?!” Was yelled over the phone which Clark could hear even lying on the gurney.

“Charlotte” Lex said not wanting to deal with the woman on the phone at that moment since he was with Clark and fighting the urge to strike out because of what had happened to Clark .

“Where in the hell are you and why the hell am *I* alone at this charity event?”

“Don't worry about it” Lex said before the woman started talking again.

“I will worry about it for I look like a complete fool with you running off and leaving me here alone with no excuse to give my friends who are here.”

“Charlotte” Lex said before being stopped yet again which made Lex even angrier since he didn't have the time or energy to deal with the woman on the other side of the phone. He had at the time thought it would have been a good idea to bring the woman to the charity event since he wasn't able to take Clark as he usually did.

“I expect you back here before the auction begins if you even think you plan to wake up with me next to you in bed” Charlotte said before waiting for Lex's response, there were two problems with the threat that Charlotte had given Lex; one was that it was a threat and two was the fact that Lex had never planned to sleep with the woman in the first place.

“Ms. Burke then you should find yourself a bed partner at the auction then, better yet why don't you offer an evening with yourself. There is bound to be someone that would be willing to spend more than necessary time with you” Lex said before hanging up the phone and putting it back in his pocket, planning to not answer the phone again if it did ring which he knew it would.

“Ready to go?” One of the paramedics asked Clark breaking Lex out of his thought process of what had he been thinking spending time with the woman.

“Yeah” Clark said before Lex was able to speak. Once the paramedics had the okay from Clark they began to wheel Clark towards the ambulance with Lex trailing behind them.

“Lex” Clark said once they were about to load him into the back of the vehicle.

“Yes Clark ”

“Take the truck”

“I'm not leaving you”

“Please Lex, take the truck”

“No Clark , I will have one of the security men take the truck to the farm and I will ride with you to the hospital.” Lex said in a tone that said that the matter was settled and that fighting would be useless.

“Fine” Clark said before he was lifted into the back of the ambulance and to the harsh lights that were on in the back. It was once the ambulance started moving that Lex really got a good look at the horrible shape that Clark was in due to the attack.

“My God Clark” Lex said before placing a hand on Clark's cheek wanting to scream, rant or rave at someone over the condition that he was in. Clark didn't respond due to passing out again because of the pain since the nails still lay in his hands. Twenty minutes later had the ambulance pulling up to the hospital and the paramedics unloading Clark into the emergency entrance area of the hospital.

“What do we got here?” A nurse dressed in purple scrubs asked as she made her way over towards the gurney where Lex and the paramedics all stood waiting for some help.

“My God is that Clark Kent?” The nurse said before making her way closer and then finally getting a good look at who was on the gurney and the horrible shape that they were in.

“It is Clark Kent , what happened to him”

“He was attacked”

“Attacked?!” The nurse said before calling out something that had another nurse making her way over to start the in-take process for admitting Clark to the hospital for they knew that the teen would be spending some time in the hospital because of the shape he was. A moment later had the paramedics wheeling Clark back to one of the emergency room's rooms to where another nurse stood waiting for instructions on what to do.

“Beth go and get Dr. Mahone” the nurse dressed in the purple scrubs said before she started to pull down the white sheet that lay over the bottom half of Clark 's body.

“Can someone tell me what is going on here?” A male voice said a moment later while the nurses worked around the room to get an IV for fluid started and making sure that Clark 's vitals were in good shape.

“Dr. Mahone?” Lex said before either of the paramedics could speak.

“Mr. Luthor” the doctor in question said eyeing Lex and the way that he stood close to the gurney that Clark currently lie on unconscious yet again.

“Clark was attacked” Lex said before stopping since Clark had woken back up for the time being.

“Clark” Dr. Mahone said with a gentle smile on his face, showing Clark that he was here to help.

“Doctor” Clark croaked out of his still dry throat.

“Can you tell me what happened to you?”

“I was…..” Clark started only to stop do to the pain that he felt for admitting that he had not only been beaten but also raped by fellow high school students.

“Would you like some privacy to talk about this?” The doctor said thinking that Lex was the reason on why Clark wasn't speaking as freely as he thought that he would. Clark only shook his head no, before trying to speak again.

“I was….beaten up and, and, and raped” Clark managed to get out before breaking down which had Lex at his side the instant that Clark managed to say what had happened. The doctor looked at Clark and Lex before sneering and leaving the room. Once Clark had let go of Lex he looked around the room to see where the doctor was.

“Lex?”

“Let me see what is going on” Lex said before walking out of the room and overhearing the doctor speaking with a nurse at the desk outside of the room.

“He said he was raped, like I believe that” it was once the doctor finished speaking that Lex cut in.

“I don't care what you believe or not, you will treat him” Lex said angry that he had to hear the doctor that was to take care of Clark speaking about him as what had happened was a big joke.

“Mr. Luthor you can't make that decision” the doctor said a smirk on his face as if he had won some battle against Lex.

“I can and I will” Lex said before walking back into Clark's room in the ER and putting a hand on Clark 's cheek.

“Okay”

“It will be, I just need to make a phone call” Lex said before taking out his phone one handed and then dialing a phone number that was very familiar to him.

“Dr. Scofield” was said after the second ring.

“Dean” Lex said before being cut off by the doctor on the other side of the conversation.

“Lex, I'm on my way” Dr. Dean Scofield said knowing that Lex was only calling to find out where he was and how long it would take him to get to Smallville and the local hospital.

“How far away are you?”

“About twenty minutes at the max I think” Dean said eyeing the surroundings and hoping that he was guessing right since all there seemed to be around him was farm fields ready for harvesting.

“Do you know where you are?”

“Out in the middle of no where” Dean responding knowing that would get Lex angry which was always funny to watch as he exploded.

“I know that, but where are you in the middle of no where”

“I couldn't…..oh wait I see a town now”

“Good, come to the hospital quickly for I will not be held responsible for hurting one of your fellow doctors”

“What did they do to offend the great Lex Luthor?” Dean said while he pulled up into a parking spot that was designated as a ‘doctors only' parking spot.

“Just come”

“Consider me here, now where are you?”

“ER, bed 15; although….never mind” Lex said knowing that he was rambling and that usually meant that his emotions were running much higher than usual.

“Lex” Dean said once he arrived to bed 15 after sweet talking a couple of nurses that he was indeed here to see Mr. Luthor and Mr. Kent.

“Dean” Lex said before noticing that Dean had set his sights on Clark 's beaten body and looked about ready to kill someone.

“What is going on?” Dean said looking for a chart to see if there had been any sort of information on what was going on in the chart.

“Clark was beaten, raped and then nailed to a cross all in the name of fun” Lex said his sarcasm bleeding through his words which made Dean fear for the life of who ever had done this to the young man lying on the bed; although if they had the balls to do this he would feed them to the lions himself.

“What?!”

“You heard me” Lex said tension in every fiber of his being.

“Paramedics?” Dean said looking at the pair of men still standing next to the gurney waiting for instructions on when to move Clark . The paramedic that Clark had said hello to, nodded his head and let out a breath he had been holding since Dr. Mahone had walked into the room for some reason that doctor always put him on edge when bringing in patients to the ER.

“Put him on the bed and let me see the work up you did on him prior to his arrival here” Dean said in all out doctor mode now. After a bit of work from both of the paramedics as well as Lex, Clark was now located on the bed that had been in the room since Clark 's arrival to the ER and room.

“Thank you” Dean said before he started to read over the report that the paramedics had taken when they had reached Clark at the saw mill. It was while Dean read the report and Lex sat by Clark's bedside stroking Clark 's cheek that Dr. Mahone made his way into the room with what looked like a suture kit and a few pieces of paper in his hands.

“What is going on here?” Dr. Mahone asked eyeing Dean who held the chart and report in his hands.

“Mr. Kent is under my care now” Dean said in a steel tone, letting the other doctor know that he was no longer needed.

“ Clark is under my care” Dr. Mahone said thinking that he had the upper hand of the situation.

“No, Mr. Kent *was* under your care that is no longer the case”

“Now you listen here…” Dr. Mahone said waiting for Dean to introduce himself.

“Dr. Dean Scofield from Metropolis General Hospital ”

“Dr. Scofield, you did not need to come all this way to see Clark ” Dr. Mahone said now glaring at Lex since he knew that the bald millionaire was the reason that this other doctor was now standing in *his* ER.

“I think I did since it looks like you are just going to suture some of the cuts and send Mr. Kent on his way; when it is clearly evident that this young man has been put through more than a school yard fight as you have noted in his chart” Dean said wondering what the other doctor was going to say to his words.

“ Clark is just trying to get some attention”

“Really? So the paramedic's report of his injuries is just a lie?”

“Report?”

“Oh yes, did you not think to ask for the report when the paramedics came in with Mr. Kent ?”

“I don't have time for this” Dr. Mahone said before stomping out of the room and to who knew where to do who knew what.

“Finally, now let me get started” Dean said before going out of the room and finding a nurse that was willing to help him. It was thirty minutes later that had Dean pulling Lex out of the room where Clark lie sleeping due to the pain medication that he had been given once they had taken out of the nails that had been still embedded in his hands.

“I have never, ever seen something like this before” Dean said shaking his head at the condition that Clark was in. It was a good thing that he had experience dealing with rape victims and battered spouses or he would have run in fear over what he found.

“Is…will he be okay, right?” Lex asked looking like a little boy worried if his puppy was going to be fine.

“Physically he will heal but I think mentally it is going to take a lot to get him to move past this; he is going to need all the love and support that he can get” Dean said looking at Lex and wondering how much the young man in the ER room meant to Lex.

“You don't have to worry about that Dean” Lex said with a sigh and pain showing on his face at how bad Clark was.

“I do have one thing I want to talk to you about”

“What?” Lex said tension in his voice over the next few words that Dean was going to say to him.

“He had a….how do I put this? He has been marked by his attacker” Dean said breaking the news to Lex the best way he knew how; out in the open so that there were plenty of people around so the other man wouldn't attack him; although given the history of Lex he wouldn't' think twice about attacking someone with witnesses around.

“I think I heard what you said incorrectly”

“Mr. Kent has the letters S and B on his lower left hip”

“Scarring?”

“Depends on how deep the cuts are and how quickly it heals” Dean said now pinching his nose do to the build up of pressure that had gathered in his sinuses. It was just as Lex was going to ask about what sort of treatment would be needed to help Clark's healing along when Hicks walked in and over to where Lex and Dean stood facing each other.

“Mr. Luthor” Hicks said breaking the tension that had built between the two men after the doctor had spoken about the mark that Shawn had left on Clark 's body.

“Hicks” Lex said turning around and coming face-to-face with Hicks and a red cell phone that he held in his hands.

“Sorry it took so long Mr. Luthor, there was much more evidence to collect in the saw mill and the police team slowed us down.” Hicks said knowing that Lex would question him about how long it had taken him to gather the phone and come to the hospital. It was at those words that Lex looked at his watch and noticed it was well past nine PM, and that somehow time had gotten away from him when sitting by Clark 's side.

“It's fine” Lex said in a distracted air, wondering on if Clark would like his parents here for him as well. He had no positive thoughts that once the Kents arrived to the hospital that he would be allowed to visit Clark any longer, but he could hope couldn't he? Hicks nodded his head and then noticed that there was a doctor with Lex.

“Mr. Luthor is this the doctor that is treating Mr. Kent ?”

“It is” Dean answered for Lex since it seemed that the other man was in his thoughts.

“Do you have a report of Mr. Kent 's injuries and any photos you may have taken of said injuries so that we may add them to our investigation?”

“Lex” Dean said wondering what he should do since it seemed that at least for the moment Lex was in charge of Clark's care.

“Come with us” Lex said after being broken out of his thoughts. The three men made their way into the room where Clark lay with a nurse by the bed taking his vitals once again as they had been doing since he had arrived. Once they arrived in the room they waited for the nurse to leave and then closed the door to speak candidly about what was going on with Clark .

“I will have to write up a report of what I have found, but no photos have been taken of his injuries here at the hospital” Dean said giving the medical aspect of Clark 's visit at the hospital.

“When you finish with that report, is it also possible to get someone here at the hospital to take photos of the injuries that you detail in the report?”

“Of course, I will get one of the nurses to do that now” Dean said before leaving the room to go and find a nurse to help with the photos that they would be taking. Once the doctor had left Hicks spoke to Lex.

“Will he be okay?” Hicks asked truly concerned for the young man lying in the hospital bed.

“Mentally or physically?” Lex said with a sigh knowing that either had the same answer and that was that it would be a long time before Clark trusted anyone to have a relationship with them, and that was the one thing that Lex longed to have with Clark but he would take what he could get.

“Both”

“Clark's strong, but I think his attack will change Clark in ways that even he never thought possible” Lex said right before Dean walked back in with a nurse that held a camera and shock on her face. She and the rest of the staff working the ER had been told by Dr. Mahone that Clark was not a real case and to stay away from the room and not to offer any help should any one ask for it, but when she had went to check Clark's vitals and saw the condition he was in she was more than willing to help punish his attacker or attackers. When the doctor told her that Clark was a rape victim and photos of his injuries needed to be taken she was more than willing to help, even if it would cost her the job she loved. The Kents were always willing to help those in need and she was not going to turn her back on the son, on what she thought, was the greatest family in town.

“Lex, we're ready” Dean said before the nurse that had just left peeked around the doctor into the room to see Lex standing there his face a mask of indifference.

“Let me wake Clark up so he knows what is going on” Lex said while the nurse watched and saw Lex's mask break at the mention of Clark . She was amazed that the young billionaire held such affection for Clark .

“Clark” Lex said running a hand down Clark 's cheek hoping that he would wake up.

“Lex?” Clark said after Lex called out his name a few times.

“Dr. Scofield and the nurse…” here Lex looked over to the nurse for her name and got her speaking instead.

“Bethany” the nurse said with a smile on her face to show that she was only here to help and not cause any trouble that seemed to be brewing in the hospital.

“Okay” Clark said still looking at Lex, not wanting to see how many people were in the room with him.

“They are going to take photos of the injuries for the case” Lex said hoping that Clark wouldn't freak out about the photos being taken.

“Photos” Clark said in a hesitant voice.

“Yes, they need them for the investigation” Lex said hoping that Clark would agree and soon, for he knew that the police would be on they're way and would want to do this all over again, but if the photos had been taken then Clark wouldn't have to worry about it.

“Okay” Clark said looking at Lex trying to find some sort of comfort in his eyes. It was then that Lex decided that he needed to speak to Clark alone.

“I need to speak with Clark alone for a moment” Lex said eyeing the three other people in the room with him. All three nodded their heads and then waited outside the room for a cue that they would be allowed back in.

“Clark” Lex said stroking Clark 's cheek with his thumb now and letting down the Luthor mask that had been up since Hicks had walked into the hospital.

“I'm scared; I don't want to take any pictures”

“I know you don't but if you don't your attackers will get away with what they did to you” Lex said hoping that Clark would understand the need for the photos that they were going to take.

“It won't matter” Clark said knowing that even if they did have photos that Shawn and the other two that had actively participated would still get off since Shawn's father was the sergeant of the Smallville Police Department.

“What? Why?” Lex said confused on why Clark spoke the words he had.

“Shawn is going to get away with it, even if there are pictures; his dad is the police sergeant”

“Sergeant Barclay?” Lex said shocked that he didn't put the two names together and end up with what Clark had just told him.

“The one and only” Clark said in a mock tone that the sergeant had given him a time or two when he had been pulled over by the man for some reason or another, mostly it was just to piss off his father but he had no clue as to the reasons for that.

“You have to be kidding me” Lex said to no one in particular but knowing that Clark could hear him.

“Wish I was, it would make things a bit easier”

“Oh, this isn't going to get lost in Barclay's sweep it under the rug ideas” Lex said knowing now that he had to be extra careful with the information that he had Hicks gather for the attack since it now seemed like there was more to the attack then ever.

“Are you sure about that” Clark asked wanting to know if Lex was willing to see this through since he was certain that once the town found out he and his family would be in the hot seat and it would not be pretty for all those involved.

“Positive, I am not going to let this go…” Lex said before stopping worried that if he declared his love for Clark now that the younger man would bottle up and not want to do anything further.

“What Lex”

“I love you too much for someone to get away with hurting you the way those three did” Lex said after he decided to say that he loved Clark . A smile broke out on Clark 's face at hearing Lex's words.

“I love you too” Clark said reaching out a hand but then pulling it back do to the pain he felt at the movement.

“Don't do that” Lex said before clucking over Clark and the pain that was written on his face. Clark would have laughed if he wasn't in so much pain.

“So will you allow the photos to be taken?” Lex said still clucking over Clark . Clark just nodded his head knowing that if he didn't agree Lex would find a way for him to agree later on, a thought that had him wondering what Lex would really do to get him to agree.

“Good” Lex said before spinning around and getting the three people that still stood outside of the room.

“Lex”

“Yes”

“Can you call mom and dad for me?” Clark said knowing that he needed his parents here and soon if Sergeant Barclay was going to show up in the near future.

“Of course” Lex said before waving the three in and then shutting the door behind him to call Martha and Jonathan. While Clark's injuries were being photographed Lex had taken out Clark's cell phone and found the Kent 's cell phone number programmed into the phone.

“ Clark ” was the answer after the second ring of the phone.

“No, Mrs. Kent it's Lex”

“Lex, what are you doing with Clark 's phone?”

“ Clark 's been….”

“What” Martha said wondering what would have Lex calling them on Clark 's phone at the time of night that it was even if it was a weekend.

“Attacked” Lex said not wanting to go into too much detail for fear of having Jonathan Kent's wrath upon him, something he did not want.

“What do you mean attacked?” Martha said before Lex heard Jonathan's voice in the background talking about packing up and leaving.

“Clark was attacked by three boys for the senior prank” Lex said trying not to tell the Kents that Clark had been raped over the phone; that was just something you didn't say over the phone to the parents of the person that was raped.

“What aren't you telling me Lex?” Martha said knowing that Lex wasn't telling her something and for that she feared the worst.

“I would rather tell you in person if that is possible” Lex said side-stepping Martha's question.

“Consider us on our way, but Lex please tell me what is going on” it was the plea in her voice that broke Lex.

“ Clark was raped” Lex said before he heard a sob and Martha screaming for Jonathan to forget their stuff and get them back home.

“Where are you now?” Martha said before she began screaming at Jonathan about getting the car warmed up and ready to go.

“At the hospital, I have had one of my personal doctors come and take care of Clark ” Lex said wanting to comfort Martha in any way that he could.

“Thank you so much for that” Martha said before saying her goodbyes to Lex and getting in the waiting car that held Jonathan in it wondering what was going on with their son. Once Lex had disconnected from the Kents he made his way back into Clark 's room to see that Hicks, Dean and the nurse, Bethany, were finishing up with the photographs that they knew would be needed in the near future.

“Lex” Clark said a blush on his cheeks at being caught naked and in front of Lex no less. The blush had Lex smiling and then laughing at the embarrassment that Clark still seemed to have even after his attack.

“Mr. Luthor” Hicks said after the last photo had been taken and Clark had been put back in the bed to wait what the doctor's next step would be.

“Hicks, I want you to supply the local police department with a copy of those photos and I also want you to handle all evidence about Clark's attack personally” Lex said already planning out a back-up plan should the evidence that the police department collected go missing or got destroyed some how.

“Will do Mr. Luthor” Hicks said before nodding to Dean and the nurse and then leaving to go and start the processing of the photos.

“Lex, did you call mom and dad?” Clark questioned once the other man had left the room.

“I did and they are on their way” Lex said coming to stand next to the side of Clark 's bed.

“Okay, did you tell them what happened?”

“I did”

“Okay” Clark said before closing his eyes not wanting Lex to see the pain that was held in his eyes for he was certain that once Lex truly knew what Shawn had done to him that he wouldn't be seeing the older man ever again.

“Clark, look at me” Lex said some how knowing that if he didn't tell Clark one more time how he felt that he would some how lose the teen. Clark opened his eyes and turned towards Lex not taking notice of the doctor or nurse that still were in the room.

“I love you and nothing is going to change that” Lex said before leaning over a bit to whisper in Clark 's ear.

“This is forever for me so don't think that I am going anywhere” it was at those words that Clark broke down and cried tears of joy over what Lex had said and also tears of pain over the attack and subsequent rapes.

“Lex” Clark whispered awed that Lex would still want him even after the attack, he remembered Lex's words from earlier but thought that Lex only said that to calm him down, now though he just *knew* that the words that Lex spoke were true. Dean broke the staring contest that the pair seemed to be having after their confession to each other.

“ Clark ”

“Huh?” Clark said tilting his head towards where Dean stood with the nurse by his side.

“I have decided to have you admitted overnight for observation” Clark only nodded his head in agreement not sure if he was happy to not be alone tonight or sad at the thought of not being able to spend the night with Lex alone. Clark 's thoughts were stopped when Lex spoke in his Luthor tone which never, ever boded well for those receiving it.

“ Clark isn't staying here”

“Lex” Clark and Dean both said at the same time, making both smile since they knew that they were in for a huge fight with Lex over Clark 's over night stay.

“No, you are going back to the castle with me no need to fight me on this”

“Lex, Clark needs to stay here for his own good. Staying there with you and being so far away from the hospital just isn't a good idea right now. I don't expect for Clark to have any trouble but since he did take a few blows to the head, I want him here so that he can be monitored” it was at those words that both Dean and Clark could see that Lex was going to give in.

“Plus mom and dad are coming here any way” Clark said knowing that Lex would want to avoid any trouble that may come from Jonathan Kent should Clark not be where he should be, which just happened to be the hospital.

“All right you win, but I am not leaving you alone here tonight”

“Fine with me” Clark said happy to hear that Lex was going to stay with him over night.

“Well let me get the paperwork rolling on your admittance and I will see the both of you in a bit” Dean said before making his way over to the door with Bethany hot on his heels. Fifteen minutes later had both Clark and Lex broken out a quiet conversation they were having by a loud and rapid knock on the closed door.

“Yes” Lex said once he opened the door and was met with the Smallville Police Department, Police Sergeant Doug Barclay.

“Where's Kent ?” Doug Barclay grunted out in an angry voice. He had been sitting at the police station when he got word that his son was being brought in for battery and raped charges. He became livid when his son told him that Clark Kent was lieing to them all and that this was all for the senior prank that had been planned earlier on in the month for Homecoming.

“Sergeant Barclay” Lex said already knowing that the man in front of him was going to be a huge problem for Clark in the near future.

“Luthor just let me in the damn room since I know Kent is in there”

“No”

“I think I must have miss heard you”

“I don't think that you did”

“Luthor”

“Sergeant Barclay” it was at those words that the sergeant stomped over to the nurse's station to be granted permission to see Clark . A few minutes later had the sergeant and Dr. Mahone making their way over to where Clark 's door now hung open.

“Clark Kent ” Sergeant Barclay said from the doorway of the room. Clark looked towards the door and away from Lex, who he had been talking to when the sergeant called out his name.

“Sergeant Barclay” Clark said in a respectful tone, knowing that things were going to go down hill and fast if the look on the man's face was anything to go by.

“Mr. Luthor, I need to speak with Clark alone” the sergeant said in a strained voice.

“It's okay” Clark said knowing that if he was alone with the man he would be in more pain than if Lex was there.

“It's about your attack” the sergeant said thinking that Clark wouldn't want Lex to hear about the attack and the charges that were being brought against the three teens that were still in holding cells at the police station.

“Okay” Clark said not seeing where the problem was if Lex was there or not, since he was the one that arrived to the scene first.

“Fine….Am I to understand that you would like to press charges against Whitney Fordman, Dick Turner and Shawn Barclay?”

“Yes”

“And what sort of charges would those be?” The sergeant said giving Clark a hard time. Lex wanted to say something but knew that if he did it would only make things worse for Clark .

“Ummm, I'm not sure what my choices are”

“Well how can you want to bring charges against them if you don't know what sort of charges you want to press?”

“I thought the arresting officers would have stated the charges” Clark said confused on why the sergeant was making such a big deal about the charges when it was very clear that something had happened to Clark and it was more than just a prank.

“Are you even sure it was those three young men that “attacked” you?”

“What is going on?” Clark finally decided to ask since he knew that if he didn't come up with the right answers that the three would be released and he would be in even more danger than before, for that he was certain.

“I am just investigating your *supposed* attack and the suspects that they brought in for said attack” the sergeant said with a sneer on his face to show just how much he cared about whether or not Clark was okay or believed.

“I believe that it is time for you to leave sergeant, my security team will be contacting you in the near future” Lex said ending the conversation between Clark and the sergeant.

“I don't have to listen to you” the sergeant said thinking that Clark wouldn't respond to his comment.

“Yes you do, or at least you do until my parents arrive back in town” Clark said worried that Lex would want to know what Clark was speaking about when the sergeant left. It was at the threat of Martha and Jonathan Kent that the sergeant finally left but not without a parting shot.

“This isn't over Kent , got that?” Clark could only nod his head and wonder if he had just made things worse by speaking.

“ Clark …what were you talking about” Lex said once he was certain that the sergeant had left not only the room but the hospital.

“Well….” Clark started out before blushing at what he was about to tell Lex.

“ Clark ”

“My parents put you in charge of my care should anything happen to them, or if they are away and decisions need to be made” Clark said a blush on his cheeks that made Lex want to kiss him.

“I don't remember signing anything like that” Lex said more to himself than to Clark .

“You did when you decided to partner with mom and dad over the farm” Clark said a smile on his face at his parents getting over on Lex and him not knowing it.

“What?!” Lex said surprised that the Kents would have done something like that to him.

“Well they weren't certain at the time if you would sign so they just put the papers in with the contract for farm”

“I would have signed, you know that right?”

“I did but mom and dad didn't at the time and given that dad hasn't been the nicest to you he was worried that you wouldn't sign just to spite him”

“I would never do something like that” Lex said before getting a face from Clark that said ‘are you crazy'.

“Okay, I would but not against you and your family…never” Lex said with so much passion it left Clark wanting to kiss Lex silly.

“I know Lex, I know” Clark said before reaching his hand out slowly, trying to limit the pain, so that he could hold Lex's hand.

“So me doing” Lex said before waving his hand around the room to explain his power trip over Clark 's care.

“Was just what mom and dad wanted” Clark said before smiling at Lex, showing him just how much he truly appreciated what Lex had done for him. Lex nodded his head and finally gave into the urge to kiss Clark , even if it was a kiss of promise he couldn't hold off any longer.

“Clark” Lex said leaning in and coming closer and closer waiting for Clark to tell him to stop, but the directive never came and soon he was kissing Clark; it may have not been mind blowing but the kiss spoke of true love and promises that both planned to keep once Clark had recovered. Lex broke the kiss when the urge to grab Clark and ravish him became too much.

“Wow” Clark said before smiling at Lex and then closing his eyes and licking his lips which had Lex moaning at how amazing Clark looked licking his lips.

“Clark” Lex groaned out before he adjusted himself in his seat and then glared at Clark as he smirked at Lex to show that he had known what he was doing would make Lex hot and bothered. Lex was about to speak again when there was a knock on the door which had both Clark and Lex looking towards the door to see who had decided to visit.

“ Clark , ready to go to your room?” Bethany the nurse from earlier said as she came in with another nurse to wheel Clark up to his room. Clark only nodded his head and waited for directions on what to do next. Soon Clark was being wheeled up to the third floor with Lex hot on the nurses heels as they made their way to the room that Clark had been assigned.

“Here we are” the nurse said before asking Clark to move to the other bed and then leaving both Clark and Lex alone once Clark had made the move to the bed that was in the room.

“Lex” Clark said thinking that it would be a good idea for Lex to call his parents and tell them where he was now that he had been moved into the hospital.

“Yes”

“Can you call mom and dad and tell them where I am, so they don't go to the ER and get in a panic that I am not there?”

“Of course” Lex said before pulling out Clark's phone and then calling Martha and Jonathan to tell them where Clark was; after the quick update was made Lex hung up the phone and brought a chair over to Clark's bedside so that he could be as close as possible to Clark . It was while Clark lay with his eyes closed that Lex's phone went off.

“Luthor” Lex said noticing that the person calling was Charlotte .

“Lex where in the hell are you?”

“Not your concern”

“Lex” Charlotte whined making Lex roll his eyes and semi-listen to what the woman on the other side of the phone was saying.

“ Charlotte is this necessary to discuss this now”

“Of course it is, I am standing here with no date and no real reason as to why I am still here”

“Well then leave”

“But you should be here with me”

“No, I am where I need to be”

“Lex” Charlotte whined one last time before being hung up on by Lex. Lex knew that his phone would be ringing again soon, only this time it would be his father on the other side of the phone telling him how disappointed he was in Lex by leaving his date at the party and going off to where ever it was that he was currently at.

“Okay” Clark said a few moments later, he hadn't quite fallen asleep and when he heard Lex speaking on the phone he figured that Lex was in hot water with his father.

“Fine” Lex said looking at Clark 's bruised but still beautiful face. He just couldn't believe that someone would hurt Clark as badly as the trio had.

“Hmmm” Clark said before giving into the pain meds that still ran through his system. Lex watched on with a small smile on his face, Clark could always get a reaction out of him even with the littlest things he did.
