"Oh Lexy..."
Lex groans, blinking his eyes open as his vision tries to adjust to the dark. The room he is in is definitely not his office. The first glaringly obvious clue were the goons in masks and black gear surrounding him with guns.
Lex looks to the side to see the Joker.
"You... what are you doing?" Lex asks, voice slurring a bit from the drug they pumped into him.
"Well I've been paid good money to put you here in this position... now you just sit right there and look pretty while I get this show on the road," Joker grins, loading his gun no and that is not a euphemism. Lex is worried as to what he will be using that for.
Lex is tied to a chair with ropes around his chest, wrists and legs. He would try to break out if he wasn't having a splitting headache from whatever it is they injected into him.
He can't even remember how he got here. The last thing he remembered was reaching the lobby of Luthorcorp from the private elevator, ready to head home.
"I'll pay you more to let me go," Lex grumbles.
"Nah... this is more fun!" Joker grins. "Look at it this way, you get to see your lover one last time before he dies!"
"Lover- what-" Lex stammers, his relationship with Superman is a secret one to protect Lex and there was no other lover he could be talking about unless he was talking about the Bat?
"Joker... this must be some mistake-" Lex tries to reach for his watch only to find it missing. "I'm not with Batman!"
Lex isn't sure if he would tell everyone about his relationship with Superman should he know about it, Lex can only hope the reason why Superman is taking a long time is because he was getting the other leaguers to come help him.
"I know that," Joker grins, he presses the button again since he didn't come the first time he pressed it and suddenly the roof bursts open.
Superman's eyes are glowing red as he looks down at them.
"Took you long enough!" Joker snarls with his pernament grin as he pulls out a gun to Lex's head. "Did you do something with your face? You look different..."
"Joker... what is your endgame here?" Superman asks as if confused as to what this picture is telling him.
"Isn't it obvious?" Joker snorts. "Surrender or I'll blow his brains out."
"Ooookay... do it then," Superman snorts. "I bet you wouldn't dare to! You're basically gal pals!"
Joker raises an eyebrow and Lex is pretty sure this is the first time Joker actually looks confused, he wouldn't know he had only seen the Joker on the news and never met the guy himself in person until now.
"Me and..." Joker bursts out laughing. "I think you must have mistaken me for Wayne, I'm being serious Superman, put on the cuffs and we'll talk business."
He pulls the gun out of Lex's range to shoot a bullet up in the ceiling. Lex flinches away from him but he can't exactly move much from the gun threatening to blow his brains out.
"One... two-"
Superman rolls his eyes before melting the face of his goons, who screams in terror as they collapse, not actually expecting Superman to kill someone. Their shock turns to collective hysterics as they immediately start shooting the one guy in the room who is bulletproof.
"No you idiots!" Joker exclaims and growls. Lex was sure that Joker was going to kill him but instead he ducks over and whispers to Lex.
"I can't believe you dated that guy..." Joker muses as he ducks out of the way of his heat vision which almost hits Lex. "Your boyfriend almost killed me Lex!"
"Boyfriend? Pfff- what is this a fanfiction?" Superman snorts as he shoots his heat vision recklessly as if not caring if it hit Lex. Lex can only squeeze his eyes shut hoping that he knows what he is doing.
"It's for kinktober!" Joker helpfully supplies before ducking out of the way of Superman's heat vision.
"Alright alright I'm going to save you this time Luthor, don't make me regret it!" Superman exclaims.
Lex was going to say something maybe about the stench of dead bodies in the room when just a day ago he was crying about people dying on the news when Joker appears behind Superman and points a gun at Superman this time. Lex quickly blocks the hit with his own body, even though it was a Kryptonite bullet, it was still a bullet.
"No!" Superman zips over to knock Joker through the wall before hurrying over to Lex and flying him to the nearest hospital. He didn't have time to think or worry about Joker who surely also needs the hospital for crashing through solid concrete but Lex who took a bullet for him is more important.
"Please... don't kill anymore... okay?" Lex asks as his breath shudders to a stop. He is supposed to have died to poisoning but he had to tell Superman... the very reason why he had loved him in the first place, was his kindness and Lex didn't know why Superman suddenly started killing but he can't see it not when he is wearing the symbol of hope.
"Lex? Lex!" Superman exclaims. He arrives at the hospital but they seem more shocked that Lex is in his arms than Superman being here. He didn't need a doctor to know that Lex heart had stopped. He leaps into the Earth's atmosphere and zips around the planet a few times until time is reversed.
Superman this time takes out the goons and the Joker in one fell swoop without killing them, not wasting time on asking questions. Lex flinches at the sheer speed and force used. Superman however doesn't untie him immediately.
"Oh thank god..." Lex smiles. "That was quite fast..."
"Why... I thought in every universe me and you would be enemies..." Superman frowns. "How the hell did you guys get together? Did you do some trick of the mind?"
"What... no! The Joker and I didn't do anything! You have to believe me!"
"I wasn't talking about the both of you!" Superman exclaims before sighing and untying Lex, kneeling at his feet, Lex is taken aback as his truly troubled expression. "I'm talking about you and me... I'm... not from this world..."
"You aren't?" Lex asks, expression sad as he raises his hand to cup his cheek and instead of slapping it away, he allows him to caress it. "But then where-"
"He is probably in my world... I need your world's batman to help me return to my world..." Superman replies.
"Right... about that... I don't really know him that well..." Lex mutters.
"Well I'm sure he will listen to me."
The sound of sirens outside is their cue to leave the area given that Lex had no injuries, there was no need for him to hang out to make it to the news again during his retirement. But Superman cannot help but take a closer look at this Lex.
His Lex is single because he killed his wife in a political debate sure but he isn't too sure about the being together thing. Then he remembers the reason why Lex hates him.
"Wait... in this universe did I discover the ability to make people forget?"
"Um... yes?" Lex smiles sheepishly, he thinks that this Superman also knows about this power since he brought it up first. But from Superman's pink cheeks, he can guess that it is that same power. Lex did not exactly forget the incident with his hair, that was just a freak accident when he was small and had nothing to do with Clark. He instead forgets the sole reason why he hates Clark so much, completely erasing the Xenophobia his father had integrated into him.
Okay now that explains a lot. Superman wonders if he should kiss him again so he would forget this ever happened but then... he had tried that in his universe and didn't like to outcome so turned back time.
Maybe he should have done that to Luthor only, his thing with Wonder Woman didn't go well, Lois has died a lot of times mainly due to Clark himself and Lex... sure he has some unlucky times and often he would pin some of his mischief on him.
But he has a lot of time to think about it as he had to convince Batman that he wasn't here to invite him to the justice league... again and needed a way back to his world.
By the time he returned to his universe it seems like the other Superman had a great impact on the league.
"He called me... useful!" Aquaman exclaims, running away in tears at the loss of the 'good' Superman.
Superman rolls his eyes before leaving the hall of justice. He has other more important things to do. Mainly trying to wipe the memory of his arch nemesis again. But finds Lex nowhere to be seen.
Even the legion doesn't know anything about Luthor's whereabouts. He was going to give up when he hears about Wonder Woman talking about a new catchy song and finds it familiar.
"Diana! Where did you hear this?"
"In the Ace o' clubs."
Clark didn't stick around long and rushes over. There was no singing only loud DJ music but, Superman was anything but patient.
"Luthor?"
As someone who is having his down time and not wanting any villains or hero problems at this time, Lex covers his head over the menu.
"Luthor! Your songs are atrocious and you will never get your hair back! Your songs are atrocious and you will never get your hair back! Oh Luthor-"
"Why you- I'll have you know I had over one billion streams in a day!"
Superman grins, finally. He didn't care about the others giving him weird looks, walking straight to him but he loses his confidence about just two feet away from him.
Lex was going to pull Kryptonite out of his ass when Superman has a bright idea and swoops him out of the club.
"Put me down you imbecile!"
"Lex hear me out... what if... we don't need to fight?"
Lex is busy panicking to hear him as he looks over his shoulder to see them hovering over the skyscrapers, if Superman were to drop him...
"Wait... don't drop me!" Lex shrieks, clinging onto Superman like a Koala.
"What...? I'm not going to drop you..."
"Don't kill me!"
Superman realises that maybe his recent killing spree might have a bad influence on other villains. Intimidating villains was suppsoed to be Batman's thing not his.
"I'm not going to kill you..." Superman frowns, looking like a sad wet puppy when he could literally just crush Lex with a twitch of his finger.
"You aren't...?" Lex asks in surprise, perking up and looking at him with a wide eyed expression.
"No... I was just wondering... maybe if you let me find you a cure for your condition then we can be friends instead of fighting each other all the time..."
Hovering in the sky was still intimidating and Lex has no reason to believe him.
"Okay okay! Just put me down!"
Superman puts him down onto the top of a building. Lex is sure that this is stagg industries and still is about as bad as being in the sky.
"Can I bring you to the fortress then?" He asks, smiling like a little kid at the candy store.
Lex didn't know why Superman was pulling a Joker but he guess it wouldn't hurt being brought there willingly so he can analyse the place. While Superman can trap the place, there was no situation Lex can't bust himself out of. There would be a bonus if Superman can actually cure his inability to grow hair.
"Fine."
So that is how Lex finds himself in Superman's fortress, snooping around while Superman talks to his father about it.
"He seems like a nice guy," Jor-El grins cheekily. Oh my god Jor-El is one of those dads, Clark had forgot.
"Not the time Dad-" Superman sighs. "I need a way to cure permanent baldness... do you think you could figure it out?"
"Of course I can! There is nothing your dad can't do," Jor-El grins and after a pause of awkward silence, he nods to the wandering Lex.
Superman sighs, he sincerely hopes he knows what he is doing...
"Lex! Come here,"
Lex didn't want to go over but it was either he follow or bust out the door and he still wants to be invited back in to explore the bigger on the inside secret lair of Superman. Lex trudges towards them and without warning, Jor-El shoots him with a green beam.
"What the fuck?!" Lex shrieks, thinking that maybe it's a death ray. He however feels something warm on his head. He touches his head tentatively to find hair! "It really worked?!"
But Superman didn't seem so happy about it.
"Dad! What the fuck?!" Superman exclaims.
"Uhh... no idea how that happen but nothing a quick fuck can't solve, good thinking son!" Jor-El grins before fading into the background as if escaping.
"Not what I- urgh!" Superman kicks the crystals.
"What?" Lex glares at him why was he acting like that when Lex got what he wanted.
Superman looks guiltily at Lex before giving him a mirror. He looks fine... his red hair is back but... he notices something behind him. He tosses the mirror to the side and looks behind him to find a tail attached to his butt... no it's his actual tail bone!
He places his hands onto his head and there are extra hair there that are... he can hear his hair tickling his ear! And his human ears are gone! Ignoring the fact that he is an anatomically accurate catboy- he is an anatomically accurate cat boy!
"Get your father to fix this!" Lex shrieks.
"I... can't... he just comes out whenever he wants to and well..." Superman kicks another crystal and his father appears.
"Well what are you waiting for Kal?" Jor-El nudges his holographic arm through Superman before disappearing.
"Look... maybe I can ask someone else-" Superman's hand brushes against his tail and it bristles.
"What the hell did you do?!" Lex exclaims as if Superman just molested him.
"What? I barely touched it!" Superman exclaims.
"No I..." Lex trails off, tail swishing agitatedly, it curls around Superman's arm once but it looks like it's trying to get control of itself or has no idea what it's doing.
"Are you doing that?" Superman asks in astonishment as he threads his fingers through the fur.
"N-no-" but Lex's face is bright red.
Superman is curious so he naturally combs through the appendage, studying Lex's reaction. Lex's mind is ignoring the fact that its Superman is making him feel this way. A part of him is annoyed but for the most of him is stimulated, it was like his dick is being stroked.
It wasn't until Superman was kissing him did he realise that he is painfully aroused. Lex whines as Superman carries him and brings him to bed.
"Son, just an advice-"
Superman learns to ignore his father during sex as he brings Lex's attention back to him by stroking his tail as he hear his father say to rub the base of his tail.
Lex's face is almost the same color as his hair now, sweating and eyes wet, he looks almost enchanting like this.
"You're beautiful... truly..."
"S-shut up-" Lex growls before turning to the hologram. "What did you do to me old man-"
"I didn't do anything other than give you what you want... sure you have an extra limb and your ears are rearranged but all this is you... you must have a lot of sexual pent up frustration with my son huh...?"
"Dad... can you please leave," Superman sighs in exasperation he did this with Lois too.
"Okay good luck son! Call me again if you need anything else."
He is finally gone, Superman is finally pulling his sweat stained shirt off him and his pants. Lex's ears twitch and in an obvious way, reminds him of the cats he always seem to save. It's been a while actually since he done that.. maybe he should have paid attention more then he would know what Lex would like right now.
But his genitalia is at least still human so he knows what to do there. He picks out the lube he hadn't use in a while, warming it up with his hands before inserting a finger into Lex.
Lex surprised that he is just going for it had his tail bristles before curling and quivering as Clark continues to stroke it while stretching his hole.
"Ah- wait- I'm going to urinate" Lex whines.
Superman didn't seem to mind and sinks his mouth onto Lex's cock as he relieve himself, he cannot control it and having Superman swallow it is giving him more satisfaction that he expected. Lex moans, that is dirty but it's not like Superman can get sick. He continues to swallow and suck around his cock.
His other hand finds its way to his tail again and just pressing against his scent gland makes him climax without warning into Superman's throat which is working to swallow everything Lex is going to give him.
Lex looks so cute like this, writhing underneath him it's a wonder why they didn't do this earlier, cat or not, hair or not... Superman finds his eyes the most beautiful, the same color of the rock that gives him a feeling so vivid and wilder than anything he could feel without the red sun.
But he guess the way his hair is splayed like a dead rose was also beautiful.
Unable to take it anymore, he pulls his own pants to reveal his hard member. Lex's tail is much more honest than the person himself, tail swishing in panic.
"Hey... we don't need to do this if you don't want to..." Clark mutters. He knows that movement it's usually when a cat wants to scratch him because it's a stranger touching it and they don't trust easily.
"Not now... please... I'm tired and well... not in my right mind..."
That was all he needed to pull up his pants and leave but Lex grabs him and pulls him back onto bed.
He grabs Superman like a pillow and hugs him. Superman smiles as he places his arm around his shoulder and rubbing soothing circles on his back.
Looks like he is going to have these cat features for a while still if fucking him is really going to cure him. He finds that he doesn't mind as Lex's tail still finds his hand a nice clingable surface to wrap around.
Lex leans onto the shoulder of Clark as they simply enjoyed each other's company. Clark takes the chance to explain to Lex what happened to have a drastic change.
"Right... how did you time travel again?" Lex asks, eyebrow raised.
"I just fly around the earth really fast and reverse the rotation of the earth!" Superman exclaims, proud of himself.
Lex's face is strained. "Yeah... that is not how time works... even if you are fast enough you'd be in the future... not the past."
"Um... I used the speed force?"
"Uh huh..." Lex smiles in amusement. "You don't sound very confident."
"Well what do you want me to do?!" Superman pouts, pulling away from him. "I just fly really fast and it happens!"
"Okay okay... I believe you..."
