Chapter 6
Harry sat in the passenger seat of Lex’s car and brooded. No matter how many times he went over everything that happened, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.
“What’s wrong Harry,” Lex asked quietly, taking his eyes off the road to frown in concern at the brooding teen.
Harry didn’t reply, merely scowled deeper as he tried to rearrange his racing thoughts.
Lex pulled the Porsche to the side of the road and killed the engine. Turning to Harry, he reached out and clasped Harry’s hand in his own.
“Now tell me what’s bothering you, it does you no good to brood over something when we can discuss it,” Lex murmured, stroking Harry’s hand softly.
“What’s the deal with my necklace, and don’t bother denying it. The stones in it made Uncle Severus twitchy, and I KNOW it had something to do with Clark’s actions. Now you can tell me the truth, or I’ll experiment with them and figure it out on my own,” Harry glowered, feeling rage boiling in his belly.
“Shh it’s okay Harry, I’ll explain,” Taking a deep breath, Lex closed his eyes before speaking softly, “I don’t know if you know this or not, but I’m a seer. I’m not a wizard, though my father is one. I’m actually a disappointment to him. Anyway, for as long as I can remember, I’ve had dreams about an ebony haired youth with verdant eyes. I’ve always known that he belonged to me, and that I belonged to him. After I graduated and before I started working for my dad, I had visions of another youth, Clark to be exact, and I knew that he belonged with me as well. I know I must seem very selfish for wanting you both, but I must let you know Harry that I don’t intend to lose either of you. The sooner that you accept that, the happier we’ll be,” Lex declared firmly.
“While all that is riveting, what does that have to do with what’s going on with my necklace,” Harry spat out, eyes narrowed in rage.
“I’m not sure. I’ve never heard of the Meteor rock affecting anyone before. My father has been around it a ton of times and never mentioned a side effect. Maybe your Uncle would care to experiment with it when we get back to his house,” Lex stated, shrugging slowly. He only hoped that Harry would calm down and he’d be able to drive them home safely.
As if his hope had been vocalized, Lex watched as the fury slowly died in Harry’s vibrant eyes. While watching he saw the tension drain from Harry’s shoulders and caught the slight nod of permission.
Releasing Harry’s hand, he turned back to the road and started the engine. The Porsche grumbled as the engine turned over before starting to purr.
After checking for traffic, Lex pulled back onto the road and focused on the drive back to the house Harry shared with Severus.
A few moments later, they were pulling into the drive. Harry was out of the car before Lex had even stopped the motor.
Lex cursed softly before sweeping after the petit boy.
As he reached the front door, he was grateful Harry had left it slightly ajar so all he had to do was push the door open and follow.
Harry swept through the house, heading unerringly towards the potions lab that Severus had set up. Without bothering to knock, he stormed into the room.
Luckily for him, Severus had just finished his potion and had already emptied it into it’s vials. All that remained was the still smoking cauldron and the slight odor.
“Harry, what’s wrong?” Severus scowled, worry darkening his ebony eyes.
“Lex gave me this necklace earlier. He “says” that he doesn’t know why it’s having an adverse effect on you, but I’m not sure I believe him,” Harry sneered, tearing off the necklace and tossing it on the table.
Severus sat heavily on the stool beside the cauldron as he stared at the necklace in shock. Knowing little of the muggle world, he couldn’t help but wonder how things have changed.
“Harry, did Lex give you this necklace to keep?” He asked as soon as he cleared his throat enough to get the question out.
“Yeah, why? He said that the green stone was Green Meteor rock, the Red stones were Red Meteor Rock and the clear ones were cubic Zirconia. The band and chain itself are silver I think,” Harry replied, brow furrowed in thought.
“If I’m right, the band and chain are Platinum, and the clear stones are diamonds. He must have spent a fortune on this necklace. I can’t see him doing that for a joke.”
“What? No that can’t be right. I mean I told him that I couldn’t keep the necklace if it was that expensive,” Harry sighed, and rubbed at his faded scar.
“Harry I’m positive. And the fact that Lex lied about the value shows me that he wanted you to have the necklace without worrying about the cost. Now answer me truthfully, what happened with Kent?” Severus motioned for Lex to enter without taking his gaze off the slight teen.
“I don’t really know Uncle. One minute he was showing me around the farm, and the next he kissed me. Then he pulled away as if I made him sick. The only thing that made any sense was the fact that the necklace made him ill, like it made you irritable earlier,” Harry explained, rolling his eyes slightly.
“Your right, it did have an adverse effect on me, but I don’t believe that Lex was expecting that. He knows how important I am to you, and that I would kill him if he did hurt you,” Severus murmured, wrapping his arms around the petit teen and hugging gently.
“But it doesn’t make any sense Uncle. Why would the necklace have an adverse effect on Clark?” Harry scowled, rubbing at his forehead.
“That I do not know, but I know we have to find out. Lex, you said that this rock came from outer space?” Severus turned to inquire from the silent seer.
“Yes sir, about ten years ago a meteor fell here in Smallville. It was during that time that I was exposed to the radioactivity and lost my hair. To my knowledge this rock has never had an adverse effect on anyone else,” Lex explained fervently, staring at Harry beseechingly.
Harry sighed and smiled slightly, “It’s okay Lex, I believe you. I was just hurt and scared, that’s all,”
Lex pulled Harry into his arms and kissed his forehead lightly, relieved that he hadn’t screwed everything up with his gift.
“As intoxicating as this is, do you two mind? We do have some experimenting to do,” Severus drawled, feeling slightly ill at the sight of his nephew in the arms of Luthor Jr.
“Your right Uncle, how do you want to go about experimenting?” Harry asked briskly, turning to the problem at hand.
“As far as you know, only myself and Mr. Kent have had a reaction to the necklace, right?” Severus remarked calmly, debating on which course of action to take.
“Yes,” Harry agreed, “But I didn’t feel any sort of reaction to the necklace, and neither did Lex.”
“Interesting, Of your two young men, I would have figured that Luthor would have been the one to react to it,” Severus murmured, lost in thought.
Lex stifled the bolt of anger that Snape’s words had caused him. After all he couldn’t fault the man for his findings.
“Uncle if your going to be busy in here, do you mind if I take Lex into the kitchen and get started on dinner?” Harry asked, knowing that his Uncle was a thousand miles away trying to unravel the latest dilemma.
“Hmm, what? Of course, go ahead.” Severus muttered, lost in thought.
“Come along Lex, let’s leave him to it.” Harry murmured and drew Lex away.

Clark worried his bottom lip as he thought back to what had happened in the barn,
“Clark, you know we told you that you had to keep all your powers a secret, right? Your father and I were only trying to protect you. But if you feel this strongly about a boy you just met, then maybe there’s something more between you. I don’t believe this is just a crush. From the way you describe everything, Harry seems to be your soul mate,” Martha whispered softly, coming to stand behind Clark.
“Soul mate Mom, do you really think so?” Clark turned around and looked at her beseechingly, his blue eyes wide and slightly teary,
“Of course. Soul mates exist Clark. If this boy is yours then you have to be truthful with him. After all a relationship can not be built on lies,” Martha brushed his bangs out of his eyes and gave him a sad smile.
“Be Happy Clark, that’s all your father and I ever wanted for you,” she whispered before turning to the stairs to leave the loft.
“Mom? Are you okay?” Clark asked as he stared in shock at her departing back.
“Just fine darling, now don’t you think you need to let him know how you feel and what you are?” Martha called back, laughter ringing in her voice.
“I’m gone Mom.” And with a gust of wind he was.
Martha Kent pressed her fingers to her forehead and frowned in confusion, “Now what in the world am I doing out here?”
Clhclhclhclhclhclhclhclhclh
“What do you suppose Clark’s problem is?” Harry asked Lex as he pulled the ingredients for Lasagna out of the refrigerator.
“I don’t know. If the meteor rock reacted to your Uncles bond with the Dark Lord even slightly, why would it react to Clark?”
“That is the million dollar question,” Harry agreed with a laugh.
Lex gave up any pretense of not watching the younger man and sat down at the bar.
“If your not going to help, you need to leave the kitchen,” Harry scolded before placing a loaf of French bread in front of him.
“What do you want me to do?” Lex asked, staring down at the bread bemusedly.
“Make the garlic bread,” Harry replied nonchalantly, before returning to the stove and frying up his beef mixture.
Lex mumbled under his breath before slicing the loaf in half. Going to the fridge, he pulled out the garlic butter sauce, and proceeded to apply it to the bread.
After he was done, he went and pulled out the ingredients for a house salad.
When the Lasagna was placed in the oven to bake together, Lex approached the slight youth. Placing both hands on his shoulders, he spun him around and grinned down at the startled look on Harry’s face.
“Now that I have your complete attention, I do believe you owe me something.” Lex murmured before leaning down and kissing Harry passionately.
Heat. That was all Harry could think of, Lex was fueling the fire burning inside. The same fire that Clark had kindled earlier, all the passion and rage that had twisted in his gut was now gushing through his veins and he burned for Lex.
“I came to talk to you, but I guess you’ve already moved on to greener pastures,” Came the cold voice from the doorway.
Lex froze and Harry looked as if someone had dumped a gallon of ice water over his head.
“Clark…”
