Unable to help himself, the almost hysterical chuckling turning into fully hysterical laughter and it took Lex a moment to catch his breath. "You want the truth. You really want the truth? Fine. Then let me tell you about the man you fell in love with." His voice was twisted and dark, caught between anger, despair and a slight bit of insanity. Time to prove himself right...that Anatoly wouldn't be able to handle the truth. He'd tried to save the other man from this, but now he had no choice it seemed.

"I couldn't sleep still, after the drugs. I was plagued by nightmares of my brother, of the night in the woods, of shooting at you, at my father. Even that fucking bastard Superman, who I technically haven't even met despite him and Clark being the same man. I didn't want to wake you, so I went for a walk up to the Compound. There in the rec room was an image of my father, projected larger then life on the wall. It seems the island wanted to show me where I come from, a tv show called, aptly enough, Smallville."

The laughter was back for a moment as Lex turned away from Anatoly, unable to look at the man as he told the next part. He reached out and grabbed the pawn from the dresser to run through his fingers. "Unable to help my insatiable curiosity, I turned it on. And I watched my future, as I murdered my father by pushing him out of a 40 story window. In cold blood because he wanted to help me off the dark path I'd strayed off on. And before I sent him hurtling to the pavement below, I told him that while I may have grown up in his shadow, he was going to die in mine."

He paused for a moment before he spoke again, his voice saner now, but also colder and tireder. "I am the man everyone expects me to be. I do enjoy the games I play, as much as it sickens me. And I'm not going to take anyone else down in my shadow, no matter how much I love them. So now that you have your truth, get out." Lex didn't turn around, not wanting to see Anatoly leave, hopefully for good this time.
