Oh, God, Lex thinks. I'm too young to die.

He shifts nervously on the hard wooden chair, watching Martha chopping fruit. "Hello, Lex," she'd said, and "Clark's out," and "No, don't go," and "Wait there," and "Jonathon won't be long."

The only logical conclusion was that Clark had told them. So he sat, trying to look calm, and waiting to die at the hands of an father with a shotgun.

This wasn't his sort of place. He didn't fit. How could he have thought that one day he might be accepted here?

"I wanted to thank you, Lex," Jonathon said.
