For a moment, Lex could only laugh bitterly, matched with an ironic smile. "With Clark...even I don't know where to start. But what happened..." Lex took a moment to look out the door, down the beach as if gathering his thoughts. "I supposed I should start with the night at the club. I told you I fought with Clark. He was attempting to seduce me and I was more interested in the secrets of Connor's origins, which he was teasing me with." He shook his head as he glanced back at Anatoly. "Clark didn't like that...but then he's never liked people prying into his secrets. Of which he seems to have more then his share and which fascinated me about him. Mainly because I wondered why he wouldn't trust me with them."

Well...it was a start.
