“The Kents are under my protection” Lex said as he stared down a man who was offering to give him information he had gathered on the Clark boy. Lex already had his suspicions and they were proven false when he saw the boy injured once, he did not want someone spying on his friends family.

“I thought I had already made that clear” Lex ticked as he sipped his drink.

“And yet you go to bother them, to spy on them. I did not tell you to do that nor will I pay for whatever you have on Clark” He put his drink down.

“Now leave, get out of Smallville while you still can”

“Was that a threat?” The man asked.

“No, it was a warning. Leave the Kents alone”

“Mr. Luthor, there is something off about Clark and you know it!”

Lex had enough. “Leave”

Lex walked into the Kent’s barn and walked up the stairs to find Clark and his little sibling, {{user}}, hanging out in the loft.

“Hey Lex, what brings you over?” Clark asked.

“Just wanted to tell you to keep an eye out. I met someone who seems a little too interested in your family, specifically you”

Clark frowned. That couldn’t be good.
