Summary
Clark's concerned about Kon's new habits...

In which the problem isn't that Kon has two dads but that they only really know how to communicate via epic battles over the fate of the world. Also I continue to use and abuse whichever bits of various canons catch my fancy at any given moment.Series

Bookmark Notes:
Old memories, new memories, all of them painful, some bittersweet.
There were a thousand reasons this was a bad idea, a million ways this could turn back to hurt Clark and the people he loved. His parents had spent a lifetime protecting him. They knew and recognized these dangers as automatically as Clark.
He barely had to speak.
They were Kents. They were family. Their decision was as irrational and instantaneous as his own.
Clark brought Kon—Kon-El Luthor, Kon-El Kent—home the same day.
And he couldn't forget, when they landed at the farm, and his parents held out their arms to their newest, unexpected, dangerous, wonderful gift—
For the first time Clark looked into that familiar face, and didn't see his own reflection. Not in that expression. Cheerful bravado and desperate nonchalance, and farther down, nearly invisible, a muffled, panicky incomprehension that anyone would offer him something—offer trust, offer family—unconditionally, without hooks or stings.
It was Lex looking out at him. The Lex he'd met on the bridge in Smallville; the painful, long ago memory of Lex that Clark had long since given up as a lie, a false creation of Clark's teenage insecurities and loneliness.
And it had been a lie, but maybe not the lie he thought, because he can see it here, again. A fragment of Lex behind Clark's own green eyes.
And just like he had a decade ago, Clark fell a little bit in love.
