Notes: Many thanks to my beta, bluetoads, for an excellent job at the last minute. I rushed her, and any remaining mistakes are mine.

Day 1

The phone rang. Lex looked at it in annoyance, having been caught up in the reports from one of his pet projects. The folder full of charts and analyses lay open in front of him, but he closed it as he reached for the ringing phone. It was an outside line and the number of people who had his direct number could be counted on two hands. "Hello?" he greeted, keeping most of the curtness from his voice.

"Luthor." The voice was deep, weighty and familiar. Its owner was not on the list of people who should have this number. Lex felt a complete lack of surprise that he had been able to find it, however. The Gotham vigilante was nearly as irritating as Metropolis's resident alien and would have had the potential to surpass Superman if not for the fact that he kept mostly to his own city.

"Batman." A vague morbid curiosity kept him from hanging up. Anything that brought the Batman out of the hell known popularly as Gotham had to be interesting. Though given the lack of alien airships or giant robots threatening the planet and the fact that the biggest news on CNN was about a bill in Congress, this probably involved something closer to home.

He wondered idly which of his projects was currently causing the League enough consternation to warrant a phone call. Normally, they just sent Superman in to demolish anything they took issue against, but Lex was willing to encourage them in this new policy, if in fact that was what they were doing. He just hoped they hadn't viewed his cooperation in defending the Earth from that last menace as some kind of friendship overture or something equally absurd. He'd made two attempts on Superman's life since then, however, so that seemed unlikely.

The latter of those had been only the previous day, so this may have something to do with that. If that were the case, though, he would have expected a police raid with superhero backup, not a phone call. Since the prototype had proven to be ineffective against the alien, even with the kryptonite power cells, and Superman had managed to destroy it without so much as breaking a sweat, perhaps they were content to issue only a warning this time.

"This is a courtesy call," the Batman stated, nothing in his voice sounding remotely courteous. So it was just a warning. Don't try to kill Superman.Yada yada . Lex restrained himself from rolling his eyes just out of principle. When the Batman continued, however, he gave a rather different commentary. "Superman has suffered some side-effects from the ray gun you used on him last night."

Lex blinked, surprised more by the fact that they were telling him Superman had been incapacitated by his prototype than that there had been delayed reactions. If he had hurt Superman, why were they calling him to chat instead of getting law enforcement involved? "Side-effects?" he repeated, taking the opportunity to ask for more details even if he didn't understand why he was being offered one.

"He has been behaving with increasing anger and aggression since he was exposed to the ray gun. We are uncertain how much longer we will be able to contain him. As he keeps muttering your name, we decided to warn you that he may try to confront you. As you were the primary cause for this change in behavior, we may have left you to his mercy had we not also noticed that green kryptonite, which we know you have surrounded yourself with, makes him only more violent and no longer disables him physically."

Lex's eyes warily tracked to the walls of his office which were subtly imbued with the alien mineral so that Superman always suffered ambient discomfort whenever he came calling. It was possible that the Batman was lying about the reversal of Superman's main weakness, but Lex had observed him destroy the prototype last night with no ill effects, even when his fist slammed through the power core where the kryptonite was.

"We would also like you to give us the plans for the ray gun so that we may look for ways to reverse the effects."

And people said the Batman had no sense of humor. "I don't think so."

"Luthor," the Batman growled low in his throat, "Superman is fast becoming the unstoppable menace you have predicted for years. Give us the plans so we can stop him."

Lex laughed. "And give up the chance to prove I was right? You'll get the plans when he does something the public won't be able to forgive him for."

An unhappy silence filled the phone receiver for a moment, then the Batman's voice warned, "Let it be on your head, then. As I said, we suspect he will come after you first." Lex was given no chance to respond to this as the connection clicked closed and a dial tone came over the line.

Though his penthouse had as much kryptonite in the walls as his office did, the layout was more open and he hoped the greater open space would diffuse any negative affect the rock had on Superman's normally stoic temper. Though Lex could recall a time when the alien was just as irritable as any teenager on Earth (possibly more so), he had aged and matured into a very boring caricature of himself. Some days, that alone made Lex as angry at the alien as anything else.

Lex changed out of his power suit when he reached the penthouse and put on a pair of dark slacks and a pale blue shirt. He settled himself on the couch in the sitting room, since that was one of the largest rooms in his home and the couch was a comfortable place to wait for the inevitable. He opened his laptop to examine the flaws that must have existed in the ray gun's design to pass the time.

He was sipping at his second scotch and frowning at a few baseline assumptions that he was now questioning when there was a crash deeper in the apartment, from where the door out to the balcony was. He sighed and took a larger swig of the alcohol, then looked up in time to see his two bodyguards collapse to the floor, their guns only half-drawn from their holsters. Superman materialized directly in front of Lex, his eyes looking wild and red instead of their more usual frowning blue. He didn't look entirely sane.

Lex took another sip of his scotch and closed his laptop, pretending he wasn't the least perturbed by this development. Putting the computer aside, he asked calmly, "What are you doing here, Superman?"

The alien took the drink out of his hand and tossed it aside. Lex didn't let himself flinch as the glass shattered and fine scotch spilled all over the original Mondrian that it had smashed against. "That was a priceless . . ." His protest trailed off as Superman grabbed him by the shoulders and forcibly lifted him off the couch, turned 180 degrees and set him down on his feet. Feeling faintly ridiculous and somewhat precarious standing on the glass coffee table that sat in front of his couch, Lex found himself looking eye-to-eye at Superman. As the top of the table was eight inches over the floor and Superman was only four inches taller than him, Lex had to glance down to confirm that, yes, Superman was flying.

Without any warning, Superman shoved Lex, pressing the fingertips of both his hands against Lex's chest and just pushing. Lex stumbled backwards and fell awkwardly off the table, as the change of his weight shattered the fragile glass under him. He felt the burn of cuts as glass shards cut into his legs, then grunted as his bottom landed hard on the not-nearly soft enough Persian rug. The air knocked out of him, he fell backwards and lay on his backside as Superman floated down and straddled his torso. The alien looked down and smirked. For all that the Justice League had named Lex a supervillian, he was sure he'd never looked that evil even at his worst.

He scrambled backwards, trying not to wince as his legs fought to disentangle themselves from the frame and glass pieces of the broken table. He twisted around and tried to get back up on his feet so he wasn't so vulnerable, but Superman just kicked him and he was down again, gasping and clutching at the rib that the Superfoot had probably cracked. From his position on the floor, he traced his eyes up the red boots next to his head, up the long blue legs, past the red underwear worn on the outside, over the S emblem on Superman's chest, and up to the face looking down at him from almost six feet above.

Keeping all trace of pain and fear out of his voice, he asked scathingly, "What are you going to do? Kill me?"

Superman spoke for the first time since his arrival. "I might."

Lex tried to sit up, but Superman's foot was there, pushing him back down and then resting flat against Lex's chest, pinning him against the rug. Lex tried to twist away, but Superman just pushed his foot down harder, making Lex still for fear of having his ribcage crushed. He scowled, not at all liking being kept helpless on the floor.

Superman laughed. It lacked the uncontrolled tones necessary to qualify as maniacal, but it was definitely chilling and cruel. A shiver of fear chased down Lex's spine and curled uneasily in his gut. "I'm enjoying having you at my mercy too much to kill you now though."

One of the bodyguards groaned as she fought to regain consciousness. Superman gave her an irritable look, and then the world lurched. Lex blinked against the sudden bright glare. He staggered dizzily, finding himself on his feet again.

"We won't be disturbed here and I can take as long as I like to play with you." Lex focused on Superman at the words, but his eyes didn't stay there long. They drifted to take in the surroundings. Superman had brought them to a large crystalline cave. He was almost positive this was the much sought-after Fortress of Solitude. He'd spent millions trying to find this place. He didn't allow his excitement or interest to show or Superman might realize that it was completely worth being abducted and tortured just to be here. If he was really lucky, he'd get knocked unconscious, Superman would wander away to amuse himself beating up some other villain, and Lex would wake up and be able to snoop.

"What are you, a cat?" Lex asked in disgust, angling for that sought after unconsciousness with as little damage beforehand as possible. "I'm your enemy, not a toy."

Superman was suddenly standing too close, looking down at Lex with a deeply frowning visage. His hand gripped Lex's chin, lifting up and forcing him to stand on his toes. "You tried to kill me," he growled, abruptly angry.

Lex realized belatedly that reminding the psychotic super-powered alien that they hated each other was pushing a little too far and now he was in danger of losing not only his consciousness but his life. He could see the homicidal insanity in those unnaturally red eyes. Heart pounding, Lex sought a way to return the lunatic to his almost playful calm from earlier. Superman had wanted to play with him, right? Fine. As Lex didn't currently find death preferable, Lex let every muscle in his body go lax. Superman's grip on his chin hadn't been meant to hold up all of Lex's weight even with super strength. Surprised, Superman's hand let go and Lex crumpled to the floor. He twisted onto his back to look up at Superman from the freezing cold ground. He preferred his Persian. "True, but you were no fun to play with. I'm far more entertaining." Fuck, that sounded like a bad pickup line.

Double fuck, Superman heard it as one. He could tell that by the way the alien's eyes swept over Lex's prone body and the evil smirk that replaced his angry expression. "Stand up, Lex. When I want you on a horizontal surface, I'll put you on one."

Lex swallowed and reviewed his options. He could stay on the floor out of contrariness, but that was a position of weakness and far from the ideal location to launch an offensive. He could stand, but that would be obeying Superman's order, and that sat wrong with him. He could rise to his knees, but that might imply a submission of some kind, and that was unacceptable. He saw no other options. The lesser evil available was standing as ordered, so he did. He lifted his chin and gave Superman a defiant look so he wouldn't think that Lex Luthor was rolling over that easily.

Superman's smirk only grew. "I believe you're right, Lex. You will be entertaining." He made a beckoning gesture with his fingers. "Come closer."

Lex's heart was hammering in his chest. It was ridiculous. His pulse had hardly accelerated at all when he'd been lying on his rug with a foot on his chest. But then, he'd been home. It had been his territory. Unconscious though they may have been, he'd had people and security there. It had been familiar and he knew all the escape routes. Here, as intriguing an idea as the Fortress was, there was no escape. Even if he did get the drop on Superman, there was nowhere to go.

Worse, there was unlikely to be a rescue. Nobody knew he was here and nobody even knew where here was. Some of the League might have an idea how to get to the Fortress, but once Superman went rogue he probably would have set the defenses against them. They wouldn't risk coming here in Lex's behalf anyway. So long as Superman was occupied with Lex, he wasn't endangering the rest of the population. In fact, neither of them were. It was win-win as far as the League was concerned. His only real hope of survival was to last until a cure was found. How ironic was it that Lex had refused the only people looking for one the best information about what was wrong?

Lex stepped closer. Superman beckoned again and Lex took another step. Superman's hands rested on Lex's waist and the smug look on his face told Lex that he knew Lex would be a wonderful new toy. Lex held his gaze arrogantly, but the hands stayed on his waist until it became an acknowledgment that Lex wasn't going to push them away, even when Superman's thumbs began to rub erotic circles over Lex's hipbone. The hands only moved away when Lex's eyes involuntarily drifted closed as he fought to stave off any kind of physical response to the stimulation. Superman chuckled in his victory and let go of Lex's waist to start unbuttoning the pale blue shirt.

Lex's eyes snapped open as he felt the chill air of the Fortress against his increasingly bared chest. "Clark, don't do this," Lex asked, the entreaty aimed at the teenager he'd once known, the one he tried so hard to forget about, the one who was the reason he hated the alien and yet the one who ultimately kept Lex from being able to actually kill that same alien.

Superman's hands never slowed in the unbuttoning of Lex's shirt. He gave no acknowledgment that he'd even heard Lex's words until the pale blue fabric hung loose off Lex's shoulders, and none at all that Lex had admitted, for the first time, that he knew Superman's secret identity. The alien eyes that looked at him had nothing of Clark in them, and they held none of Clark's human concerns. Lex swallowed his uneasiness down. He would not be intimidated. Superman's finger stroked Lex's cheek and his voice was colored with amusement. "Do not even try to deny that you want this, Alexander Luthor." The way Lex's full name was rolled around Superman's mouth felt nearly as intimate as the fingers that brushed over the vulnerable flesh of his exposed belly.

Lex closed his eyes and did not deny it. If he denied it, he would know whether he was lying or not, and that was a self-awareness he was just as happy not knowing. If he knew he was lying, he would be disgusted with himself. If he knew he wasn't lying, he wasn't sure he'd be able to do what he needed to do to survive. For this, it was best to remain ignorant because neither possibility was palatable.

Instead, he stepped into the touch and prayed to gods he'd never believed in that he wasn't biting off more than he could chew, that becoming Superman's sex toy for however long it took the alien to return to normal wasn't worse than the torture they had both initially expected. Superman's hands - how had he never noticed before how large they were - wrapped around Lex's torso, sliding under the silk of the opened shirt to stay against his skin. Lex rose up on his toes, pressing the front of his body against Superman's as he lifted his mouth up to whisper near his ear. "All those times you pushed me up against walls . . ." Lex had intended to imply a sexual deviancy within the usually straight-laced demeanor of Superman in his right mind, but Superman was pushing him against a wall now, and Lex grunted from the impact and lost his train of thought as the alien tore open Lex's belt and pushed a hand down the back of his pants.

A distant part of his mind lamented that Superman would never be able to push him around again without Lex thinking of this and that would put serious kinks in their working relationship. Most of his mind, though, was already well past any concern over his 'working relationship' with the alien and was gibbering over the fact that Superman was pushing a finger inside Lex's ass. Lex couldn't bite back a verbal cry as his body was violated and his hands, taking over in the face of his knees' weakness and the desertion of any strength Lex was supposed to have in his legs, grabbed hold of the only thing available to help him keep his balance: Superman.

Superman's free hand and his other four fingers of his occupied one steadied him. The fifth stayed where it was, foreign and invasive. Lex's heart beat painfully loud. The only other sound in the great ice cavern was Lex's ragged breathing.

The eerie stillness broke with Superman's harsh laughter. Lex cried out again and hugged Superman closer to his chest, as the finger angled differently and pushed in past the first knuckle, sliding two more inches into Lex's body. Every muscle Lex had trembled with the knowledge of that finger's promise. Every blood cell vacated his face, brain, hands, arms, and legs. He could feel his skin, white-pale and tingling from the hasty departure. His penis hurt from the speed and fullness of its engorgement.

"It occurs to me, Luthor," Superman stated, voice rich with amusement, "that your problem all these years has not been the stick up your ass, but the lack of one." The finger pulled out half an inch then pushed back in as deep as the last knuckle would allow. Tears blurred Lex's vision because no lube had as yet made an appearance and the friction of the finger's passage was agony. He suspected it had been able to go as deep as it had only with the aid of alien strength. Disturbingly, the pain did not lessen his hard-on in any significant way.

The finger abruptly left him, and he unwillingly let another sound escape him as his body resisted the removal as much as it had the entrance. He couldn't keep up with the speed of the encounter. This was, in part, excusable due to the superspeed of his partner, but even as he was bent over a previously non-existent long banquet table with a tablecloth just a few shades lighter than LuthorCorp Purple, his mind was still reeling over the part where his body decided of its own accord to get hard instead of scream in terror and horror like any other person on the planet would do when they got finger raped by the psychotic alien that they have actively hated beyond reason for more than a decade. He barely noticed the complete removal of his shirt, dropped onto the table beside him, but his whole body jerked from the force of it as his pants and underwear were yanked down, just far enough to give Superman access to his ass and no further.

Lex twisted around to see that Superman was still fully dressed in his uniform, but he was aroused to the point where there was a definite outline of a penis against the red outer-underwear. It became even more obvious when Superman rubbed his clothed crotch against Lex's exposed buttocks in a preview for what was to come. "Fuck," Lex cursed, futilely trying to bite it back. The word was no louder than a whisper, but it carried his lack of power, his lack of control, and his awareness that there was none of either for him here out into the air where Superman could hear them and relish in his dominance.

Superman held him down with nothing but his fingertips in the small of Lex's back. Two fingers hooked under Lex's waist and lifted his ass up against the spandex encased dick. It pushed between Lex's cheeks to press against the small hole there and Lex squeezed his eyes closed, braced himself against the table, and pressed his face against the smooth but wrinkled fabric of the tablecloth as he wondered if Superman was going to fuck him while still fully clothed. "Fuck," he whispered again, his voice small and unrecognizable to his own ears, as Superman thrust against him, sliding him further onto the table instead of just bent over it. His knee banged against the edge with the next thrust and after the third, that knee was on the table, bracing him, and he realized Superman was now kneeling behind him on the table.

Superman sat back on his heels, but kept Lex where he was, with his ass up in the air, his bare chest and the side of his face flat against the table he was about to be fucked on. His legs were bound by his own pants that were only pulled down enough to allow one of Superman's legs between Lex's. One of Superman's hands continued to hold Lex's hips in place but, with the other, he ran a finger from the middle of Lex's spine, down the vertebrae to the top of his ass. Once there, the finger delved down the crack, moving slowly, letting Lex feel the digit against the inside of both of his cheeks. Lex's heavy cock wept from the sensation and had Lex been anyone else, his eyes would have probably followed the example of his cock.

His mind still vacillated back and forth between self-disgust for his own arousal and relief that his body was ready and able to follow the survival plan. If he were very lucky, and far more sexually depraved than he'd ever believed of himself before now, he might even find it enjoyable.

The finger paused briefly over Lex's perineum, circled it once, then continued down to the back of his ball sac. The pants got in the way after that, so the hand traced around Lex's thigh instead and gripped Lex's aching penis. Superman only stroked once, pulling down testingly, like a farmer getting the feel of a cow's tits, when impossibly, horrifyingly, mortifyingly, Lex's body clenched, white light pooled behind his eyes, shot down his spine and he shuddered and collapsed in his release.

Superman held him up, kept him in the position he wanted, but he chuckled and dipped his fingers in the spilled semen. "If this was what you wanted all this time, Lex, you should have just asked." White fluid coated his middle and fore fingers as he moved them away from the puddle and pressed them into Lex's body. Lex hissed at the stretch and burn of their entry, but at least it no longer felt like his anal walls were likely to tear apart under the friction. "Acting like an asshole isn't the best way to offer yours."

It was fortunate that Superman did not seem to want or expect a response to this because, under the circumstances, every retort Lex could come up with was likely to return them to the kill-Lex scenario instead of the fuck-Lex one. As that was not in line with his long term plans, Lex kept his vocalizations to the non-verbal sounds his body seemed to think were an absolutely necessary response to the fingers moving inside him. Superman's approval of that line of non-conversation was obvious in the gentling of his motions and the warmth in his voice as he said, "That's right, Lex. See how much better this goes when you just tell me what you need?" Lex gasped as Superman's fingers touched a place that made his vision fade out and if he hadn't just come, he was sure that would have set him off. "Liked that, didn't you?" Superman continued, indulgently. "If you'd just said you wanted me to fuck you instead of fight you, we could have both been much happier."

Superman's fingers pulled out and reached down to scoop up more of Lex's come. Lex turned his head to look behind him as Superman's other hand released him as well. Though this was probably his last chance to scramble away and prevent Superman from fucking him, Lex stayed as he had been put. There was nowhere to go. He watched as Superman's clean hand undid a few hidden clasps and released his cock from his costume. Lex supposed, practically speaking, Clark had needed to put in something like that so he didn't have to get completely undressed every time he had to piss, but that didn't mean he had to like that he was going to get fucked by Superman while he was still mostly dressed in that despised uniform.

"Clark?" Lex asked, trying to keep his voice as neutral as possible so he didn't spark another bout of fury while he was in this vulnerable a position. "Would you mind stripping completely before fucking me?" In case Superman took issue with Lex's hatred of the uniform that symbolized all the wrongs they'd both committed against each other, he added, "I want to feel more of your skin."

The superhero's unnaturally red eyes looked down at him, appearing saner now, but Lex felt a chill even beyond the cold air as their gazes met. He continued to slick his cock with the handful of semen, then positioned the tip against Lex's hole. "I know what you want, Luthor. And you'll get it." He began pushing the tip inside with a pleasured groan as Lex's body yielded against Lex's will. "Just not yet," Superman finished, grabbing Lex's hips with both hands and pulling back even as he thrust forward. Lex screamed as he took all of the Superdick all at once. For the first time since he was a child, tears ran unchecked down his cheeks from the waves of fiery pain that pulsed through out his body, spreading out from his ass.

Deep inside Lex now, Superman released his hips and snaked one arm around the bald man's waist, holding him close, keeping the alien penis trapped within Lex. The other hand ran up his side, sliding over Lex's skin, stroking it until the hand slipped beneath Lex and found his limp cock. Superman chuckled. "Too rough for your first time, baby?"

That was too much. Lex was willing to let a lot slide in the interests of survival, but not that. "I'm nobody's baby and certainly not yours," he gritted out.

Superman only laughed again. "So you do have some spirit left in you. Good. I almost thought you were going to let me make you my bitch without a fight." He squeezed his fist around Lex's dick and rocked his hips re-igniting the dulling pain in Lex's ass. Lex cried out, no longer able to control his own responses. His right hand gripped a handful of tablecloth while his left closed around only air. "Defy me, Luthor," Superman challenged. His hand squeezed again, bringing fresh tears to Lex's eyes. "I'm going to fuck you so hard you bleed. I'm going to fuck you until you've paid for every wrong you ever did. I'm going to fuck you until you know who you belong to now. So defy me, Luthor, so I know when to stop."

Lex knew the wise course of action would be to utterly submit. He knew Superman was spoiling for a reason to hurt him, to fuck him bloody and without mercy. He was in no position to fight back, there was no guarantee that in his uncontrolled psychotic state Superman wouldn't kill him once he began to fuck in anger. Psychosis fed off itself. Once Superman began hurting there'd be little chance he'd stop. Lex knew that.

But between his Luthor genes and Lionel's upbringing, Lex almost literally couldn't refuse a challenge, couldn't let another person claim that much of him. "I'll never belong to you," he growled in spite of his better judgment.

Superman's hands both moved to Lex's hips again, gripping him bruisingly hard. Lex tried to relax his body as much as possible and he attempted to brace himself against the table. He closed his eyes and tried to distance his mind from his body. Superman's dick pulled most of the way out of him and for a moment, nothing happened. The air seemed to hold still for a suspended moment in time. And then Superman howled and he began to fuck in earnest.




The body had no sense of time. It knew pain, but only as a distant enveloping haze, something that existed everywhere but wasn't worth noticing. The body knew the deep shuddering thrusts of the cock that moved inside it, shaking every part of it as the cock penetrated its deepest recesses, as the balls slapped loud and hard again it, as the hips drove the body down with each powerful impact. It knew the press and pull of fingers that directed its movements. It knew the dry rasp of air as it hoarsely tried to gasp, moan, shout, whimper, or otherwise verbalize what was happening to it. After the initial intensity of pain faded, it knew arousal. It knew the pull of fingers and fist along its own cock. It knew the wet feel of tears on its face as the body was driven beyond what its mind had ever known before. It knew the sharp sting of the Other's teeth as they broke its skin to claim it. It knew the suction of its own blood being drunk. It knew the spill of semen into its depths even as the Other's cock stayed hard and continued to pound into it. It had no conception of how long the fucking lasted. It could not count the number of times the Other drank of its blood or climaxed within its body; in some ways it seemed as if this had been the only thing it had ever known. Eventually, though, it knew the retreating pull and the empty sensation as it ceased being joined to the Other.

It knew the chill of its remaining clothes being removed. It knew the impression of floating as it was carried away from the hard table it had soaked with its own sweat, tears, blood, and semen. It knew the gentle caress of a softer surface accepting its weight and the rustle of more clothes moving against the Other's skin. It knew the warmth of a larger body moving over it, arranging it onto its back. It knew the push of hands that spread its legs apart and it grunted as the Other returned.

It knew the feel of skin against skin, of bare arms encasing its torso. It knew the taste of the Other's tongue in its mouth. It knew the panic that came when it was not allowed enough oxygen. It knew deep panting gasps as its lungs finally did fill again just before its mouth was taken and the process repeated. It knew the erratic pulsing of its own heartbeat through its veins and under its skin. It knew the creak of the mattress under it and the undulation of both its own body and the Other's as they continued to rut. It knew the feel of hair between its fingers and powerful hips between its legs as it grasped life in a death-grip.

It knew it could die from this, but that just made each gasping breath it was allowed sweeter. That just made every sensation that much more intense, knowing it could be its last. The body took everything the Other gave to it, answering in kind, determined that, if it did die, it was going to die having fully experienced sex at its most extreme. The mind might have objected to that but the mind had given up control to the body long ago, trusting it to know how best to survive. The mind would cope with what the body did and knew once that outcome was achieved.

Eventually, though, the body failed. Its limbs felt heavy. Its awareness seemed coated in heavy fog. Its muscles lost their strength. It knew exhaustion. It fought against it, but complete and utter exhaustion could not be held back indefinitely by will alone. Soon, it knew it couldn't hold out a moment longer and its eyes rolled back in its head. And then it knew nothing but blackness.




Day 2

When Lex awoke, he was surprisingly pain-free. For a moment, he wondered if maybe it had all been a nightmare and he had just fallen asleep on his couch in his penthouse. Then he noticed he was naked and somebody equally naked was holding him against his chest and stroking his fingers over Lex's skin. The air was cold and Lex shivered. The fingers stilled and the hand pressed flat against him. "You're awake," Superman observed. "Good. The Fortress fixed you so now we can get back to the fucking."

Not a nightmare then. "The ray gun must have had some kind of aphrodisiac effect, in addition to its other behavioral influences," Lex theorized out loud, not so much to delay the promised fucking as because he felt it should be put out there. "You're not normally this horny, and your stamina is just unnatural."

Superman shifted them around and laid Lex down on his stomach on the bed they'd been laying on. His hand ran over Lex's body, letting it come to a rest atop his ass. The thumb massaged the muscle there and Lex felt an unwelcome stirring in his groin. "You were in the healing matrix for five hours and slept for another ten," Superman informed him, pushing Lex's legs apart and settling between them. Both hands were rubbing against his ass now. "I enjoyed exploring you while you slept, but I am glad to have you awake again." He pulled apart the ass cheek and breathed wet warm air over Lex's hole. Lex bucked from the unexpected sensation and might have made a very pathetic mewling sound. Despite himself, he was well on his way to full arousal.

Superman chuckled, not moving his face away from Lex's ass, so he could feeling the breath of it against him. A facial cheek rubbed against an ass cheek and Lex could hear Superman's amusement as he taunted, "You are much more entertaining to play with when you know what I'm doing to you." The hands pulled his ass open further. "You're going to enjoy this, Lex," he promised. "You were such a good sport yesterday that I'm going to give you some treats today." Lex cried out in shock and surprise as a rough wet thing that might very well have been Superman's tongue licked over his asshole. "You're well rested and the AI gave you enough nutrients to keep you healthy, so I expect I'll be able to have you for eight or nine hours before you collapse again."

"Oh God," Lex cursed, half in horror at that idea, half in reverence as the tongue again pressed against his hole, this time just barely breaching it.

Superman chuckled again and gave another light lick. "You're going to love every moment of it this time, Lex. Yesterday was for me. Today is for you."

Lex would have liked to comment that if today was for him, he had a few suggestions that didn't involve parts of Superman being inside Lex's ass, but then that tongue was there and Lex found that he really didn't mind that so much and, well, he wasn't really entirely verbal at that point anyway.

When the white fog of desperate arousal cleared and he could think properly again, he could feel the heavy weight of Superman lying atop of him, his dick hard against Lex's cleft but not inside him, which Lex found rather surprising and perhaps even a little disappointing. The tongue that had so recently driven him to climax without even having his cock touched traced the inside of his ear and then Superman whispered, "Lex, do you want me inside you now?"

Options flashed briefly through his mind, but Lex knew there was only one right answer. He nodded. "Yes." As much as he hated himself for it, it wasn't even completely a lie.

Superman laughed again, and lubed fingers began to stretch him. "That's right, Lex," he agreed indulgently, "you want my big cock up this pretty little ass of yours." Lex wasn't sure which he should be more offended by - being told that he had a pretty little ass or the overly confident assurance Superman had about how much Lex wanted him. But the alien's fingers were far more talented than the rough treatment yesterday had suggested and any protest he might have made was superseded by a gasp of pleasure as Superman demonstrated just how erogenous the inside of his body was turning out to be. "I'm going to take you slow and gentle, Lex," Superman told him, whispering in his ear again.

"Okay," Lex agreed because Superman seemed to be expecting some kind of response from him.

Superman kissed the back of Lex's skull and Lex wondered if maybe the effects of the ray gun were slowly going away by themselves. Superman seemed calmer, and certainly more considerate and affectionate, today than he had yesterday. Alternatively, the alien might just be experiencing extreme mood swings and Lex had woken up during a particularly pleasant (if still horny and arrogant) phase.

The fingers pulled out of him and he felt the blunt tip of Superman's cock against his entrance. "I'm going to push in now," Superman warned softly. "Let me know if I hurt you. I don't want you in pain this time."

"Okay," Lex agreed again, letting his body relax as much as it could even as he wondered if that 'this time' referred back to wanting to hurt him yesterday or whether it meant Superman would want to cause pain again in the future.  Further consideration on the matter was cut off as Superman did as promised.  The cock breached him slowly.  His forehead dropped against the mattress as if the tendons in his neck had ceased to exist and he forced his lungs to continue working properly.  He knew, intellectually, that he'd been fucked for hours the night before, but this was different.  His memory of last night lacked anything but the most basic self-awareness.  He could have been anybody or nobody at all.  Now, though, he was fully cognizant that the alien's penis was pushing firmly into his, Lex Luthor's, ass.

"Fuck," he gasped.

Superman stilled, only about an inch of him inside.  "Am I hurting you?"

Lex shook his head but welcomed the moment of reprieve.  The stretch of his body was uncomfortable, but it was his mind that needed the time to get used to what was happening more.  "Just need a second to adjust."

Lips pressed against the middle of his back and Superman murmured, "Whenever you're ready."

He almost wished Superman would just take what he wanted and not give Lex any choice in the matter, as he had the night before.  Then he could call it rape and absolve himself of any complicity.  Now it was back to what it had begun as, before Superman had lost his temper and lost any concern he may have had for Lex's well-being: Lex was whoring his body to survive the next days or possibly weeks or more with minimal pain and suffering.  He could live with that.  "I'm ready," he told Superman and made his body relax further.

Superman pressed in.  Lex felt the deep burn of penetration as their bodies joined and interlocked as deeply and completely as two separate people could.  He could feel a pulse in his ass and wondered if it was Superman's or his own.  A kiss pressed against the side of his neck, and then Superman's voice spoke in a lower than normal register, "You're so tight."

Lex's ass muscles contracted around the cock inside him, almost involuntarily.  God, there was a cock inside him.  Superman hissed in pleasure as Lex's muscles continued to loosen and tighten around him, exploring the size and shape of the invader from the inside.  Superman's mouth and teeth latched onto the same place on Lex's neck that had just been kissed.  "Mmm, that's good, Lex."  He bit down gently and sucked on the skin of Lex's neck, marking it.  "Keep doing that."

Lex did, not because he was told to or to create pleasure, but because there was a cock up his ass.  He had to examine its dimensions, learn the feel of it, find out everything about that part of the alien that his body could determine.  Any horror, disgust, shame, or embarrassment he had felt for giving his body to a male of an extraterrestrial species vanished in the face of actually having it encased within him while he had enough active brain cells left to think about it.  Curiosity consumed him as it hadn't in many years.  He arched his back for a slightly better angle and pressed back, trying to use his ass muscles to pull Superman deeper inside him.  "What's it like, Kal -El?" he asked, refusing to call him Superman right now, but calling him Clark would be just as inaccurate in his current state.  "Do Kryptonians have intercourse the same way humans do?"  Last night indicated yes, but last night had been about domination not pleasure.  Superman may have intentionally kept to human traditions so Lex grasped all the intricacies.  "Is there anything different that gets you off?"

Superman chuckled lowly and nipped at Lex's earlobe.  "You want to have Kryptonian sex?"

Lex moaned as Superman pulled out an inch or two and then pressed back in.  God, that felt almost ridiculously good.  "Ye-es," he answered in an unsteady voice as Superman repeated the motion.

"You're having it."  Lex found himself surprisingly disappointed that there wasn't anything decidedly alien about it.  He was fairly sure he hadn't been hoping for tentacles or anything, but he'd expected something to be different.  Superman seemed to sense this because he chuckled again as he continued to move slowly in and out of Lex's body.  "If you want something kinkier, we can do that later."  He wrapped an arm around Lex's waist and laid his chest against Lex's back as he pulled them together again.  His voice whispered into Lex's other ear now, "What do you think, Lex?  Do you want me to tie you up and feed you?  Use toys to make it last hours?  Dress you in Kryptonian clothes before having you?"

Abruptly, Lex became acutely aware that, despite his earlier orgasm, he was definitely up and painfully ready for another one.  Superman's hand closed around Lex's cock.  Humor laced his tone, "I'll take this as a yes."  At some point, Lex needed to take himself aside and have a long talk with his libido to discuss why such ideas were unbecoming of a Luthor.  Not now, though, because Superman lifted away from Lex's back and placed a kiss between his shoulder blades just before he began to jack Lex off and pick up the pace.  Lex's ability to reason dropped off exponentially with each shift of their hips and pull of Superman's fist.

When it came back, he was lying on his back beside the wet spot he'd left on the mattress.  Superman had one hand under Lex's knee, holding that leg up and to the side while the other leg was splayed out in the other direction, leaving Lex's body completely exposed and open.  Superman knelt between the legs as his other hand tenderly used a warm cloth to wipe Lex clean.  "God, Lex, I'm so sorry," he said, surprising Lex but the depth of pain and regret in his eyes and voice.  For a moment, he thought maybe Clark was himself again and that whatever the ray gun had done had run its course.  But then he laid Lex's leg down gently and slid the hand down the underside of that thigh to cup Lex's buttocks.  "I should have seen sooner how beautiful you are, how much you needed me."

Clearly, he was still delusional.

Lex didn't quite dare to take advantage of the devotion shining now in Superman's eyes, for fear he would grow angry and shift moods again, so Lex just reached up and cupped a cheek of Superman's face and stroked it as Superman was stroking the cheek of Lex's ass.  In the interest of making it last as long as possible, Lex humored the delusion. "It's okay, Clark.  You know now.  Kiss me and just hold me for a little while."  The intent was to put off the next round of sex for a little while, until his body could recover, but when lips pressed lovingly against his, Lex realized the unexpected flaw in his plan, the drawback of this delusion.

It hurt.  The tenderness and apology in the kiss seared through him with an agony that last night's fucking had never managed.  "I'm so sorry, Lex," Clark said again.  "I should have realized sooner that I got so mad at you because I love you."  His thumb brushed over Lex's cheekbone.  "I was so blind, and not even x-ray vision helped me see what I was missing."  Another kiss, painful in its uncomplicated sincerity for no other reason than because it wasn't real.  Clark didn't mean what he was saying because Clark was completely insane.  And Lex had to be right there in Bedlam with him because if he was in his right mind himself, this wouldn't affect him.  He wouldn't care what delusional things came out of the alien's mouth because he hated Clark.   He was a violent interfering lying bastard who refused to believe anything but the worst of Lex.  Even if this were real, an apology, a kiss, and a declaration of love would never make up for everything he did.   And Lex didn't want an apology, kiss, or declaration of love anyway.  Well, maybe an apology, just so he could spurn it.

Lips kissed the skin beside Lex's right eye and then his mouth again, and this time Lex tasted salt.  Clark settled beside him, pulling him in close, and holding them together.  A blanket seemed to appear as if from nowhere (though it was probably just Superman leaving and coming back too quickly to register) and Clark tucked it around them.  Fingers traced patterns over his skin and lips pressed repeatedly against his forehead, face and mouth.  "I'll make it up to you, Lex," Clark promised.  "Sleep for a little while.  Rest.  I'll be here when you wake up.  I'll be here for you from now on."

Lex was tired.  And Clark and the blanket were so pleasantly warm.  His eyes drifted closed.

When they opened again, he was dressed in what he assumed was a Kryptonian style.  Fortunately, it was something that more resembled robes than the Superman costume. They were white with a primary colored edging on the sleeves and collar that depicted the symbol of the House of El.  He was also tied to the headboard.  After a few moments, Superman appeared, dressed in his costume again.  "Hello, Lex," he smiled, the devotion from earlier now absent, though he seemed calm enough that Lex wasn't overly concerned about being tied up.  "Are you hungry?"

With only minimal difficulty, Lex maneuvered himself into a sitting position against the headboard he was tied to.  Superman was there suddenly, tightening the ropes so that Lex couldn't move his wrists at all.  "Hey!" Lex protested, feeling oddly betrayed by the restraints when, what seemed like just a moment ago, Clark had been promising to make everything up to him.  Intellectually, he knew that had been just a mood that wouldn't last long, but he was still disconcerted by the change in behavior. 

Superman's kiss now was sultry and demanding.  Lex returned it after only a moment's hesitation.  The fingers that stroked over his robe covered crotch as if in reward promised that the bindings served a purpose that was primarily sexual.  Superman broke the kiss with a bite at Lex's lower lip.  "First, I'm going to feed you some food, and then you can wash it down by drinking my come.  How's that sound?"

Lex was still uncertain about his opinion of giving a blow job, but he recognized where Superman's current plans were coming from. "Kinky."

Superman smirked.  "So you like the idea."

He was in far too deep to change the plan now.  "I like the idea."

Superman helped him into a kneeling position on the bed before tying a blindfold around Lex's eyes. He began to spoon feed Lex a variety of different foods, which Lex was then supposed to identify.  He did well on the Asian, French, and Italian dishes, but not so well on the Mexican, African, or Indian cuisines.  He got a perfect score on the sips of wine he was fed, even naming the year in a few particularly distinctive cases.  He did as equally perfect on the test of hard liquors but abysmal on the beer tasting (most of which he spit out).  He was actually almost enjoying himself when he was asked to open his mouth again.  But this time, instead of a spoon, fork, or glass, what was placed between his lips was thick and heavy and tasted of sweat, salt, and something indefinable.  He tried to reach forward to hold the hips he knew were right in front of his face, but the ropes held fast and his hands didn't go anywhere.

He was bound and blindfolded and giving his first real blow job.  Yes, he could vaguely recall that his mouth had been fucked the night before but that was entirely different.  Now, it was his lips closing voluntarily around the shaft he'd been given.  His tongue wrapped around it, exploring its texture and taste, and adding further information to the discoveries his ass had made of its girth and shape.  He leaned forward, taking in more of it. 

Fingers clasped around the back of his head, some against his bare skin, some dislodging the blindfold slightly, though not enough to let him see anything.  "Mm, that's right, Lex.  You want more to drink of this, don't you?"

Lex hummed, a sound meant to be non-committal, but intended to be interpreted as affirmative and pleasurable.  Honestly, though, Lex found that cock-sucking wasn't nearly as bad as the homophobic name-callers always made it out to be.  It was actually . . . he shifted forward a little more, filling his mouth completely so that the blunt tip of it bumped against the back of his throat.  He waited until Superman's hands steadied on his head again, then gave an experimental suck and heard Superman gasp. Lex felt him give a small, possibly involuntary, thrust of his hips.  Cock sucking was actually pretty fascinating.

From his own experience on the receiving end, he knew teeth were bad, so he tried to avoid that, but on the handful of times he hadn't been able to prevent it, Superman's invulnerability seemed to make up for Lex's lack of experience.  He only triggered his gag reflex twice, and when he did eventually bring Superman off, he even managed to swallow most of the come without choking.

The cock slipped out of his mouth and the same napkin that had wiped up spills of beer and Chicken Tikka Masala cleaned up the semen that dribbled down his chin.  Once that was done, Superman removed the blindfold, and traced his fingers around Lex's swollen lips.  "You haven't done that very often, have you?"

Lex shook his head, and his voice was hoarse as he confirmed, "Not recently."  There was no way in Hell he was admitting that Superman got anywhere first.

"You'll get better at it with practice," Superman encouraged.

Lex looked insulted.  "I got you off, didn't I?"

Fingers stroked his face soothingly.  "That's not what I meant.  You have a wonderful mouth, Lex.  I was just saying that next time it will be easier for you."

Allowing himself to be mollified, he pulled at his wrists.  "Now that you tied me up and fed me, can you let me go?"

Catching the wrist and stilling it, Superman shook his head.  "Not yet.  We're up to the toys."  With no more warning than that, he pulled up the robes Lex was wearing and fastened a cock ring around him.  As Lex hissed from that, Superman let the robe drop down around his knees again.  Superman smirked at him.  "Now, I sexually torment you for several hours until I decide to let you come."  Superman then loosened the restraints only enough so that Lex was able to lie down on his back again.  Once he was settled on the mattress, Superman lifted one of Lex's feet up into his lap.  "We'll begin here."

Superman didn't need hours.  Thirty-five minutes had been more than sufficient to bring Lex to incoherence in his need and Superman hadn't even touched him anywhere obviously sexual yet.  He was, in fact, still clothed in the Kryptonian robe (though, to be fair, Superman had reached under it on many occasions).  The following forty minutes were worse as Superman lifted the robe up to his waist, spread his legs apart, and began fingering him.  The next hours were the most tortuous of all as Superman finally began fucking him properly. 

Tears streamed unchecked down his face as Lex begged for his release, but Superman just thrust in and out of him with powerful tireless strokes, coming several times himself though each time he stayed hard and kept fucking with barely any pause, the come seeming to be more to re-lubricate than provide release.  "Please," Lex begged, throat sore and voice ragged, "Please, Clark, let me, Superman, please,Kal-El."

"You wanted kinky Kryptonian sex," Superman reminded him after what seemed like days but was actually only four hours since he began massaging Lex's foot.  "Well, now you've had it."  With that, he took off the cock ring and thrust into Lex's body four more times as it shuddered and quaked with the most powerful release Lex could remember ever having.  The fragile thread his consciousness was hanging onto was sundered as Superman's final thrust signaled his own forceful orgasm.




Day 3

Lex had expected to feel sore.  He'd spent almost all of his waking time yesterday having sex.  As he came awake on the third day of his captivity to Superman, Lex reached behind himself to probe experimentally at his anus, but there was not so much as a twinge of pain.  He knew he healed quickly, but this was remarkable even for him.

"You were making annoying sounds while you slept," Superman stated from nearby, sounding cross.  "So I put you in the healing matrix again to shut you up."  Lex's eyes, which had just begun to flutter open, closed again and he sighed.  It looked like today wasn't going to be one of the good days. 

Superman roughly rolled him onto his back and shoved his legs apart.  Lex offered no resistance.  Since arriving, he'd been thoroughly fucked and used.  He had nothing left that hadn't already been both taken and given.  "No fight left?" Superman taunted.

Lex lifted his eyebrows and smirked, even as his mind marveled at the sudden epiphany that he didn't want to fight Clark.   Superman.  Whoever.  And more than that, he didn't have to.  It took two to really fight.  If one didn't play along, the other was just spinning his wheels and not getting anywhere.  So he stretched his arms languidly over his head, and spread his legs wider in invitation.  "I see no reason to.  You'll fuck me either way, so why delay the best part?  Will you tie me again?"

Superman sneered at him, but Lex saw the lust in his red-tinged eyes and the way his fingers twitched toward Lex.  "You always were a slut, Lex."

Understanding bloomed unexpectedly and Lex couldn't stop his eyes widening in his shock and surprise.  "You were jealous," he said, unable to keep the realization to himself.  "All these years you lectured me about my wives and girlfriends and my 'immoral ways', but you were jealous."  He laughed with the exhilaration of having solved a particularly difficult riddle after too many years of puzzling over it.  "You've wanted me since high school, haven't you, Clark?  Well, now you've got me, ready and willing in your bed.  What are you going to do about that?"

Without seeming to move, Superman was suddenly over him, their faces inches apart.  Both of his wrists were captured in iron strong grips over his head.  Lex's heart pounded loudly in his chest, but for all that Superman's eyes almost glowed in anger and impending violence, it wasn't from fear.  It was excitement.  He hadn't felt this alive in years.  "I'm going to fuck you," Superman growled dangerously in answer to his question, his tone of voice making that sound like a bad thing. 

Lex had stopped believing that everything Clark considered bad was actually bad a long time ago.  "Good," he said, equally fierce, and bucking under him, grinding their groins together.  "I'd be disappointed if you didn't."  And that, Lex was disconcerted to realize, was the truth.




Day 12

Lex was no longer sure of exactly how long he'd been kept in Superman's Fortress.  He thought it was easily more than a week, possibly two, but still less than a month.  Some days he never ate solid food.  He assumed he was given enough nutrients to survive on, washed, and cleared of waste during his nightly visit to the healing matrix because he rarely felt hungry and he had yet to use a toilet since arriving.  He'd only left the bed twice.  Once he'd eaten at the banquet table he'd first been fucked on (and once Lex had finished his meal, Superman had cleared the table off and had put Lex up on it again so he could have a feast of his own).  The other time, Superman had been in a particularly generous mood and gave Lex a tour of the Fortress (he'd actually phrased the activity as 'I'm going to fuck you against every ice wall in this chasm' but Lex wasn't picky - 'you haven't fucked me there yet' had proved the most useful phrase he'd ever uttered).

The first few minutes of the day were the most difficult.  He could never be sure what kind of mood Superman would be.  He could manipulate all of them.  Even the most baleful moods could be turned to create incredible orgasms.  The trick was figuring out which mood he was in because the triggers that would bring a towering rage into powerfully focused sexual prowess would insult and offend the more human mood swings and then he'd get lectured for the better part of an hour about how he was more than a body and Clark loved him and didn't he see that there was more to life than sex and physical relief?  And then to 'prove' his point, Superman wouldn't even have sex with him because that would be enforcing a negative self image.  So Lex had to be very careful about how he interacted with Superman until he could gauge how to turn his thoughts to sex.  This wasn't difficult in any case, and often didn't require any effort at all, so fortunately the morning disorientation usually didn't last very long.

Today, though, as Lex opened his eyes, he found himself alone.  This was not unprecedented, though, so at first he just sat up and made himself comfortable against the headboard and waited for Superman to bring him breakfast.  Whenever Superman wasn't already in bed with him when Lex woke up, he'd usually arrive with food within a minute or two.  But after almost ten, he still hadn't arrived.  Frowning, and a little concerned, Lex got out of bed and found theKryptonian robe Superman sometimes dressed him in and went to look for him.  "Kal?"

No answer.  Lex navigated the hallways to the main chamber, "Kal?"

"Kal-El has gone out," the AI's voice seemed to come from everywhere. 

It had never directly addressed Lex before, and he'd only heard it address Superman two or three times.  Normally, he'd be asking it a thousand questions about everything he could think of, but the information it had already given was enough to focus Lex's thoughts in one direction.  Superman was not exactly sane right now.  Who knew what he might be doing out in the real world.  Pulverizing LexCorp Tower.  Decapitating all of Lex's surviving wives (not necessarily a bad thing, but Clark would feel guilty about it when he regained his sanity and Lex's vindictiveness towards Clark had been pretty well fucked into submission by now - he was less sure if that was true forgiveness or just Stockholm's Syndrome).  Assisting with monsoon survivors.  Causing mass destruction.  Any or all of them were distinct possibilities.  "What's he doing?"

The was a momentary pause before it answered, "Ransacking your Smallville residence."

Lex hadn't been there in years and hadn't lived there in longer.  "Why?"

Lex could swear there was a trace of disapproval in the artificial voice as it answered, "I believe he said he was looking for bottled water." 

Absolutely, positively, completely insane.  Lex shook his head slowly, bringing his formidable intellect back on line to consider this opportunity.  "I assume you want him back to normal?"

"Yes."  There was no hesitation at all.  "What do you need?"

Not what.  Who.  "Mercy Graves.  I need to talk to her."

"Done." The voice said, and a moment later Mercy's voice stated her name in short clipped syllables.

"Mercy, this is Lex."

"Boss!" she exclaimed, possibly the most emotion he'd ever heard from her.  "Where are you?"

"Superman's Fortress of Solitude.  Mercy, I need you to get my laptop and send everything I have on the kryptonite powered ray gun to the Justice League."

"The Justice League," she repeated flatly, clearly unimpressed with his plan.

"Batman has the best chance of figuring out how to reverse the effects.  If he can't, the AI here can hack into the Watchtower's system and try to find something as well."

"Very well," she grudgingly agreed.  Then, more determinedly, "While they do that, I'll find you."

"No," Lex refused.  "I'll be fine as long as no one interrupts and angers him.  If you want to help me, offer your assistance to the League finding that cure."

There was a brief silence, then the AI announced, "She hung up."

Lex nodded.  She wasn't happy with her orders, but she wouldn't disobey them without compelling cause. "Will you let the League past the defenses when they come with the cure?" he asked the AI. Once it gave an affirmative answer, Lex turned to a less pressing but still needful matter. "AI, am I correct in assuming you are the source of the coffee and danishes Kal-El brings me sometimes?"

"They are available on the table, Lex Kal-El."  At the name the AI gave him, Lex felt a chill that had little to do with the cold air.  He pulled the white Kryptonian robe closer around him and tried not to notice he was wearing the El house symbol in the piping on the sleeves and collar.  He made his way to the banquet table without correcting his name.  For all he knew, he had participated in a Kryptonian wedding ceremony.  If he had to wager a guess, he'd say it happened the second day.  Superman had urged him to say any number of things that Lex had carelessly repeated in hopes that Superman would release the cock ring.  Hell, the white robe might very well be some kind of bridal dress.

By the time he finished his breakfast, Superman had returned brandishing a bottle of Ty Nant.  "Lex."

"Kal."

Superman handed him the water.  "Drink."

Curious, but willing to wash down the last of his danish with the water instead of the cooling coffee, he uncapped the bottle and began to drink, watching Superman out of the corner of his eye.  Superman watched Lex avidly.  When Lex lowered the bottle, Superman's eyes glittered with red.  "Kneel."  Ah.  Superman had an oral fixation today.  Lex moved in front of him then gracefully knelt down.  Superman released his cock from his uniform and Lex licked his lips as he looked at it.  Then he wrapped those same lips that were still cool from the chilled TyNant bottle around the heated head of Superman's cock.

Large hands held his head and guided him forward so that he engulfed more of the thick flesh.  Superman had been right.  It had gotten easier with practice and now he was even able to relax his throat so that he could take the whole thing to the root.  "God, Lex, I remember watching you drink that water," Superman told him, pulling out then pressing back in.  "I never understood then why I got so flustered."  He gave a small thrust of his hips and his fingers tightened briefly, "But now I do."

With a mouth and throat full of cock, Lex could only hum in response, but he wondered if his own enjoyment of drinking from the phallic water bottles in front of Clark had been rooted in the same repressed interest.




Day 23

For the first couple of days after he'd contacted Mercy, Lex had expected the League to come charging in with the cure.  Or possibly that Hope and Charity would appear, guns blazing, following his order to the letter in that Mercy wouldn't been involved.  But the days passed as they had since Lex had been abducted.  He became downright skilled in the art of giving head and was damn proud of his accomplishment.  He developed a Pavlovian response to waking up with his hands tied.  He'd never be able to look at a banquet table again without getting hard.  The bed he slept on was as much Lex's as it was Superman's.  He returned the kisses of all variants of Superman without any hesitation or painful concern about it not being real.  Not because he thought Superman's delusions were real now, but simply because repeated exposure taught him that Clark did mean it for however many hours that mood lasted.  Also, the fact that every mood seemed to enjoy having him in bed (or on a table or against a wall or on his knees) suggested that even when all these separate bits of Superman gelled back into one whole, that whole would probably still want him.

On the morning everything changed, Lex hadn't exactly forgotten the League was looking for a cure, nor had he entirely given up hope that they'd find one, but he had stopped expecting them to appear.  So when he woke to angry shouts and the sound of things crashing around outside his bedroom, he quickly dressed himself in the Kryptonian robes, located the pair of handcuffs that Superman had used once instead of the ropes that usually bound him, and used them to fasten himself to the headboard once he had strategically arranged the robes to best show off his eager assets while still flaunting the El symbols for the most possessive effect.

When the door swung open, he'd expected Superman to storm in, completely incensed over something Lex had done months or years ago.  He had not expected Batman to step into the room and stop with a hanging jaw as he took in Lex's attire and position.  "Fuck!" Lex cursed, twisting his body so that the robe fell and covered his erection.  "Bruce!  Don't you knock?!  Where's Superman?"

"He passed out when I hit him with the revised ray gun."  Batman moved to the side of the bed and picked the lock to the handcuffs, releasing him.  "I assumed he was torturing you.  I did not expect you to be in any condition to care if I knocked or not."

Lex did not let himself flush.  "I found an alternative to pain, suffering, and eventual death."

"I see that."  The voice was dry but lacked censure or ridicule.

Reclaiming his wrists, Lex rubbed at them, though they hadn't been confined for more than a minute.  He got off the bed and fastened the robe more securely around himself.  "I assume you're here because you found a cure."

"Yes," Batman confirmed but did not elaborate.

"How long have I been gone?"

"A little over three weeks."  Not long enough for his board to have elected a new CEO, but long enough that the acting one might have begun to get hopeful.  With luck, Mercy hadn't been too busy trying to find him to prevent any bounds from being overstepped.

"Will Superman remember anything?"

Batman shook his head.  "I don't know.  We'll find out when he wakes up."

Lex honestly wasn't sure how he would prefer it.  It really depended on Clark's stance on what they'd done.  "When will that be?"

"Soon, I imagine."

Lex nodded.  "Aside from me, did he do anything he might regret?  I know he was here whenever I was awake, but what about the rest of the time?"  Batman gave him a narrowed eyed look of suspicion.  Lex returned it with an irritated one of his own, "Batman, I spent the last three weeks as Superman's sex slave.  I have more than enough to hold over him if that's what I want to do."

Batman huffed, but answered the question.  "He tossed a few of your properties, but we were able to stop him from hurting anybody."  His eyes darted briefly to the handcuffs lying on the bed.  "We had wondered why he went after some of your ex-wives and girlfriends."

"So they're all still alive?  Pity."

"Hannah Bishop didn't survive the month, but that was unrelated.  Her new husband killed her two days after they got married."

Lex lifted an eyebrow.  "If she did the same thing she did to me, that is hardly surprising.  Good for him."

"He's in prison."

"That's why I didn't do it.  Better him than me."

How Lex knew the Batman was lifting an eyebrow when he was wearing that mask was difficult to say, but he did.  "I can hardly believe a potential prison sentence would prevent you from doing anything, Luthor."

Lex shrugged.  "Her family's lawyers are even better than mine are.  It was hardly prudent to risk getting into a legal battle with them."

"Lex."  Lex spun toward the voice from the hall.  Clark stood there in Daily Planet garb.  He looked awful, and it wasn't just the suit and glasses.  He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks, though Lex knew he'd looked fine (if a bit red-eyed and insane) just yesterday.  "Batman, could you give us a minute?" Clark asked, not looking at the costumed hero or Lex.

Batman looked between them once then nodded.  "I'll be in the hall if you need me."

In another moment, they were alone.  Clark ran a hand through his messy hair.  "God, Lex, I don't even know where to start."  He still didn't meet Lex's eyes.

Lex moved in front of him, forcing him to look at him.  "Let's start with the easy one.  Do you remember everything?"

Somehow, Clark went both red and green at the same time and he squeezed his eyes painfully closed.  Lex supposed that answered well enough, but Clark nodded and blasphemed again,  "God."

It seemed mostly guilt, self-disgust, and self-horror that he seemed to be feeling, so Lex ventured another question.  "Here's the next easy one.  Do you think I'm physically attractive?"

Clark's eyes snapped open, obviously taken by surprise by the question.  "Don't ask me that, Lex," he begged in a pained voice.

Lex's heart constricted, but he wanted to hear from Clark's mouth that he thought Lex was a bald freak before he assumed the worst.  Every mood had told him he was beautiful or hot or some other equivalent compliment.  They couldn't have all been lying.  "Here's a harder one.  Did we get married?  The AI calls me Lex Kal-El."

Green eyes squeezed closed again.  Lex was sure that not even kryptonite had ever made him look that miserable.  "I won't hold you to it, Lex.  You didn't know what you were saying."

So he'd been right.  Satisfaction surged through him until he processed that Clark was attempting to void it.  They'd been married for over three weeks and Clark wanted to annul Lex's most successful marriage and pretend it had never happened.  Of course, while Lex might have not known what he was saying, Clark had been completely insane.  It probably wasn't valid anyway.  It certainly wouldn't hold up in any human court.  In the most selfless gesture Lex had ever made in his life, he grated, "You were out of your mind.  I won't hold you to it either."

Sharp green eyes zeroed in on him then, confusion and suspicion showing clearly in their depths.  "Are you implying that you want to be married to me?"

Lex threw up his hands and stalked away from Clark, pacing toward the other side of the room.  "I don't know, Clark!  I've taken more of your semen into my body in the last three weeks than I've ever spilled into all of my wives combined.  I've been married eight times and yours is the only one that lasted longer than a week.  Helen doesn't count because she had me declared dead for most of the time we were married."  Reaching the end of the room, he spun around and stalked back toward Clark.  "Meanwhile, you were batshit crazy and the closest you ever came to killing me was some really enthusiastic sex.  Hell, Clark, even when we hated each other and I was taking potshots at you, you never tried to kill me."  Stopping in front of Clark again, Lex's temper suddenly snapped and he slammed both of his fists against Clark's chest.  "Damn you, Clark!  I'd never been penetrated before you! You said I was beautiful!  You said you loved me! You can't just leave me because you're suddenly sane again!  I'm yours, Clark.  You took me over and over again and told me so many times in so many different ways from so many different personalities, and now that I believe it, you can't just say it was never real!"

Clark's arms closed around him and he was guided to the bed.  Clark sat down and directed Lex to sit down next to him.  "Lex," he said cautiously, as if Lex were now the crazy one.  It wasn't impossible.  He knew there were better than even odds that he was suffering from Stockholm's Syndrome to some degree.  "I'm going to ask you two questions and I want you to answer as honestly as possible.  Okay?"  Lex nodded, though he silently reserved the right to lie depending on the question.  "When did it stop being rape?  And by rape, I mean, when were you no longer concerned for your life if you didn't have sex with me?"

Lex shook his head.  "That's an unfair question.  I never stopped being afraid of that.  But ever since we were married, I wanted the sex as much as you did.  I only considered the first night as remotely non-consensual.  The second day was enjoyable whoring.  After the wedding, it was sex, plain and simple."

Clark blinked in surprise.  "You knew I'd married us?"

"Not at the time.  I figured it out later. When you went to get the Ty Nant bottle, the AI called me Lex Kal-El, and I worked it out from there.  It was the second day, right?  During the first cock ring encounter?"

The arms around his tightened briefly, and for a second, Lex was sure Clark was going to kiss him, but then he didn't.  "Yes."  Lex nodded, pleased by his own deductions.  "Okay, the second question that I want you to answer honestly."  Lex thought about protesting that he'd already answered two questions honestly, but he'd known the one about knowing they were married was an aside.  He nodded for Clark to proceed.  "Do you love me?"

Lex laughed, the sound bitter.  "Fuck, Clark.  I don't believe in love anymore.  Even if I did, I don't know what the hell I feel for you.  I was just a fucking sex slave to an insane alien who I could never know from one hour to the next if he was going to fuck me like an animal or just hold me.  I knew he wasn't really you in any real sense, but damn if that mattered when he was balls deep in me or telling me he loved me.  I had no other name but yours to give him.  All I know is I don't want you to vanish from my life.  Even before this happened, I'd rather fight you that lose you entirely.  And now the idea of not having sex with you again is painful.  I know I should hate you for what happened between us, both here and before, but I don't, not anymore.  I know you have reason to despise me, but I don't want you to, not anymore.  I know I'll kill to protect you.  I know I was afraid that whenever you weren't fucking me, while I slept, you were out doing something you'd regret now, and I was angry I couldn't stay awake all the time so you'd have to stay with me.  I was afraid you'd come to your senses and forget everything we did together.  I was afraid you'd come to your senses and it would have all been a false personality that wasn't at all like the real you and you'd mock me or pity me for what I did and came to believe.  I don't want your pity, Clark.  I want your cock, I want your arms around me at night.  I want forever. Is that love, Clark?  What the fuck is that?"

Clark hugged him again and this time he did press his lips to Lex's temple.  "That's enough," he said softly, though it didn't really answer Lex's question.

Lex wanted to know what it was enough for but he was exhausted and emotionally wrung out and he'd only just woken up.  What he said was, "I need coffee."

Clark laughed briefly and stood up, perforce pulling Lex up as well.  "Then let's get you coffee."

"Clark?"

"Yeah, Lex?"

"If we get married again, can our next honeymoon be someplace warmer?  I mean, an alien fortress is really great, and I loved the tour you gave me, but it's freezing and you kept me naked most of the time."  They opened the door and stepped out into the hall where Batman was still waiting, as promised.

"I gave you a tour?" Clark sounded baffled and a little worried.  Maybe his memory wasn't as good as he thought.

Lex pointed down the hall, past the Batman, toward the main AI console.  "I don't think you fucked me there yet."

Lex savored the look of chagrin on Clark's face and the stunned one of horror on what could be seen of Bruce's.  Lex snickered.  "Shut up, Lex," Clark told him.

"Oh, and Clark?"

Clark gave him a look of waning patience.  "What?"

"Those glasses are completely unflattering.  Get a new pair or the wedding's off."
