Summary
"Superman," Lex says. His hands move nimbly as he treats his wound. "I almost killed him today. It's always an almost. It's stupid. Why doesn't he just die?"
He swallows and opens his eyes to look at him. "And that would make you happy?"
Lex looks at him. Slowly, directly. "I don't know," he admits, then makes a brief, small face, as if he's considering the bad instead of the good, as if he's already doing the math in his head—he probably already is. "But I'd sleep peacefully."
"And... would you sleep peacefully if someone you loved died believing you hated them?"
Lex doesn't stop his movements, but watches him with a calm gaze. "What's that about?"
Clark shakes his head. "Nothing. Forget it."
Or: Lex hates Superman, but loves Clark Kent.
