“When Lex was younger and Lillian was still alive, we owned a ranch in Montana. We all used to have our share of chores around there, teaching Lex the value of hard work.” He paused.

“ I appreciate the offer, Lionel. But you've done more than enough. ”

The man basically wrote a blank check to fund the campaign. Of course, Jonathan might find it amusing if Lionel put in a hard day doing farm work. Yeah, he'd pay to see that.

“This is all necessary to protect Clark’s secret. I’m not about to let my son cross any lines. I put him on this horrible path. I used to think I was superior to eveyone else. But I’ve come to know the truth. My greatest accomplishment is

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

A sudden uneasiness settled in his chest. The idea of putting someone in the middle of all this- it didn't sit well.
After what happened with Lana, it was hard to imagine anyone would be willing to cross Lex. Unfortunately, Lionel was right. They needed ——

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

I agree wholeheartedly!

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

Yeah, very true.

Some people just rub you the wrong way, but again, I can see a turn where these two become unlikely friends, primarily to protect Clark.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

The thing is we’re all so far from being perfect, as Jonathan reminded Clark in season ten. I don’t blame Jonathan either. Hell, even I was skeptical.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

Yes, and so I don’t blame Jonathan for being skeptical.

But he let his anger get the better of him even after preaching to Clark he should control such emotions.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

Indeed. He threatened to expose Clark’s adoption as a sham. Then he caused a wedge between Jonathan and Martha. So Lionel always pushed people’s buttons.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

I’m not saying Jonathan didn’t have his reasons.

Let’s face it Lionel pushed his buttons just for sport.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

Due to the past encounters with the Luthors.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

I’m with you on that idea.

Because he did suspect Clark he was just waiting on conformation and once he got it he didn’t spread it around. No, he decided to use it to his advantage. But who’s to say his intent was for personal gain?
To be fair, Jonathan assumed a lot—

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

That he only intends to carry out Verita’s original mission to protect the Traveler. Lionel did suspect Clark. He kept that secret longer than we could imagine.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

No good deed goes unpunished. And the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Our storyline definitely made things fun. We should do that meeting, the night Jonathan died. Instead o making it look like a threat, he could explain his intentions.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

It would be quite interesting considering their history.
I mean, after all, they did sort of start out on the right foot.
But you know what they say about good deeds.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

Plus having Lionel and Jonathan becoming friends would be interesting. A sort of role reversal. Their sons are arch enemies while the fathers are friends.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

You're absolutely right.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

Same. But that’s what makes AU so fun, putting our own spin to it!

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

That's great.

I should do some rewatching myself, but I don't like going past season 5

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

Due to rewatching Smallville I did find muse again though.

[Jonathan Kent @LovingPatriarch]

I understand. I find that I’m busy settling in my new house.
That and I've been trying to avoid this muse.

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

I’m herre. Been through some stuff RL wise

He hates to admit this, but he misses @LuthorPatriarch

“Really? Well I had no idea your goals were quite lofty. You’ve become an expert at hiding your projects. You may fool other people. You may even be fooling yourself. But not me. You will never fool me, Lex.”

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

are you gonna let go of this obsession with Clark and everyone connected to him?”

[𝗟𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝗟𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿 (fake) @LuthorPatriarch]

“I have, Lex. But you’ve changed.... whereas you used to criticize my former criminal activity, you’re now declining into that same descent. Think, Lex. Think. You know this...” Lionel looked at his son.

“Your lust for power is what drove Clark away from your friendship. When
