For over a month, Scotty's words and the picture of Lex holding a bundle that he'd claimed was his baby brother had haunted him. Maybe this was what changed everything. Maybe this was what made Lex…evil. It was a scary thought and one he'd wrestled with quietly for a long time on his own. Normally, he would have had Cassie or Tim or even Bart

Lex was actually at home alone, Helen having already left to get the Club ready for the night. He'd been reading in bed, enjoying the peace and quiet since the rec room had started becoming toxic thanks to the jukebox and it's new love of musicals about board games. At least he now knew he hadn't imaged that too.

He was actually surprised to see Kon standing there. He hadn't exactly been avoiding Kon since he'd recovered from his break with sanity and found out about the drugs and his father, but he hadn't sought him out either. Disgust on Anatoly's face was one thing, disgust on Kon's would be another.

"Hello Kon," he said politely, though he didn't open the door any further, protecting himself more then anything.

Now that he was here, Kon wasn't sure what he wanted to say. "Can I just say," he started, when he realized just how stupid it was just standing there staring, "that I definitely don't want to meet daddy dearest? He sounds scary." What were you supposed to say to the guy who was your father but not quite him but the good version of him?

Well, he could start by pushing the door in and heading in with or without his permission.

"Speaking of which, rumor mill has been busy."

Lex was unable to help the flinch that came with daddy dearest. He knew that was Kon's nick name for him and he didn't quite know what to think of that opening statement. So he didn't.

Instead, he opened the door wider as Kon pushed himself inside. "Come in, please." Lex said with light sarcasm, before closing the door behind him. "What rumor mill?" He asked before leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"The rumor mill that says you're living here now and not with Anatoly." Kon turned back to Lex, finding himself in a similar position. "And don't give me that look. I meant your daddy dearest. Lionel. The one who was actually on the island."

His lips twisted a little. "I had a talk with someone who ran into him a while back."
