For Kon

[capable_of]

Once he'd gotten Clark settled, Lex wanted nothing more then to go home to the comfort Anatoly would provide once he heard Lex's news. Whenever he thought of Clark's return to the island, he'd prepared himself for another disgruntled teenager or the man who would grow up to be Lex's enemy. This new, mature version was almost more then Lex could handle, even if it was a pleasant surprise.

But, there was someone else Lex owed it to to tell about Clark's return. And that's why he was standing in the doorway of Kon's hut, knocking urgently. "Kon? Kon! Are you there?" He called, uncharacteristically loud. "I need to talk to you."

Lex didn't quite believe him but he let it go. The only way he was going to prove to Kon that nothing would change was to show him, as he knew words wouldn't placate him in a similar situation. "If you want me to go with you, if you ever want to see him, I will. Anything you need," he added, saying it just one more time.
