1Disclaimer I do not own these characters.

A/N this is and idea that was rolling around in my head for awhile. I decide to finally write it and this is what came out.

Daddy night out

Lex leaned back against the door, dress from head to toe in black. A tight black shirt ended 4 inches short of his low-slung black pants. Gray blue eyes outlined in eyeliner He was watching his four-year-old son who sat on the floor playing with Lego's. Half of the blocks were scattered across the floor of the boy's room. The other half were stacked in neat rows next to him. He was trying to build a skyscraper; his intentions were for it to touch the ceiling. The child sat staring hard at what he had accomplished, a stack of bright primary colors placed one on the top the other. He shook his head slowly causing his black hair to fall into his face. Reaching out with his small hand to where six pieces floated above his head, he pulled down a bright blue and placed it on top the red that sat at the peak of the tower. Lex moved to kneel next to his son.

"We have to leave now Conner."

Conner looks away from his building. He tilted his head up to look at his dad.

"Can I bring the Lego's."

"Of course."

"My building will break if I try to carry it."

"I'll carry it for you. I promise I won't let it break."

Conner smiled up at his dad

"Can I watch you dance?"

Lex shook his head "We've been over this Conner. It's not safe for you on the dance floor."

Conner dropped his head, his lower lip slide out in a pout

"You can call my cell when you want to sleep. I'll come read you a story."

Conner looked up at his dad through his lashes "I don't want to sleep."

Lex smirked "Than don't call me."

Conner reached out and pocked his dad in the arm. Smiling, Lex reached out and pulled his son into a hug. Conner wrapped his arms around his dad; even at four he knew not to hug too tight.

"I'll miss you papa."

"I'll be a room away."

Lex's pulled back just enough to see his son eyes.

"We can stay home if you want."

Conner shook his head. He wanted to watch his dad dance.

"I want to go"

Lex smiled down at him "Than lets go"

Conner gathered up all the scattered Lego's. He handed them to Lex who made neat stacks of them and placed them in a small black duffel bag.

"Is that all of them"

Conner looked up Lex tilted up his head to follow his son gaze. He smiled at the floating pieces

"Can you bring them down Kon?"

Conner nods. His eyes moved from the Lego's to his dad

"There pretty up there"

"You might need them later. They might be the last 5 pieces that make your work matter. Without them it might just be a building instead of THE Building"

Conner steered at his dad then at the flying pieces. he didn't understand all of what his dad was saying but it made sense, in that odd way that seem to make his dad make sense even if he was using big word and talking about people Conner had never seen. He concentrated on dropping the Lego's. They fell one by one in to his dad's lap. 2 reds 2 blues one yellow Lex placed them in the bag. He zipped it closes and slung it over his shoulder. Hosting up the building he moved towards the door Conner following close behind.

Lex climbed in to his sliver Jaguar. It was late. Really to late to be dragging a four year old out of his bed. Lex glanced at Conner who was busy dig around in the duffel bag. The need to move had started 3 days ago it hadn't let up. His nerves where shot every now and than he would find himself taping out a beat on his desk. He needed to move he needed to dance. He was too paranoid to leave Conner in the care of anyone. Not after he found out his second nanny had be on Lionel pay list. It was better to keep his oddly talented son where he could keep his eyes on him.

"Are you buckled up Kon"

"Yes papa. Move"

Lex's foot dropped on the gas and didn't let up till he was in front of Forge, a club in the wear-house district. Lex shut off the car. He glanced back at Conner who was steering up at him a grin on his face. Lex didn't bother trying to hold his own smile back.

"What are you so happy about"

"I like it here"

Lex's half smile turned in to a full on grin

"You would it in the blood."

Lex grabs kid, bag and Lego tower locking the car he made his way around to the back door. Forge had been a mediocre spot till Lex had bought it 3 years previous made a few changes and now it was a hot spot. He knocked on the door twice. The door swung open to reveal a big black man with a harsh look on his faces his snarl turned in to a smile when he saw it was Lex.

"Mr. Luthor we weren't expecting you"

"It was a last minute thing"

Conner stepped around his dad and smiled up at the man.

"Hay Bugs can I have a ride to the play room"

Bugs reach down and picked up the little Luthor who squealed with delight as Bugs swung him up on to his shoulder.

Lex followed them up to the playroom. He got Conner settles before turning to Bugs

"Call me when he starts to get sleep"

Bugs smirked "I think I can handle the kid"

Lex returns the smirk "I wouldn't let you nearer him if I didn't know you could"

Bugs laughs "relaxes Lex that what you came here to do relaxes go shake you white-boy ass I'll deal with the kid"

Lex gave him a real smile before truing to look at his son.

"Don't be too hard on Bugs"

Conner smiled up at his dad

"I'll be super nice"

Lex pulled the boy in to a hug

"I know you will. Call me if you miss me to much"

"I will" Conner kissed his dad cheek. Lex let him go and head for the door with a nod at Bugs he was gone.

Conner turned to look up at Bugs "how long till we can go watch"

Bugs looked at the clock on the wall

"We'll give him an hour"

Conner nod and turned his attention to his blocks.

Lex stepped out into the main room the dance floor was full but not over crowed it was still too early to have a full house. The music moved around him, throw him. He started moving before he got on the dance floor. He could feel the tension leave his body with each twist of his hips there was nothing quite like moving to a beat in the middles of a group of withering bodies. He took a deep breath inhaling the smell of sweat sex liquor the smells of a club. He closed his eyes and let himself go he didn't open them even when he felt the firm arm slide around his waist he lent back in to the touch moving with the body to the thumping beat of the song. He felt another body pressed against his front. He opens his eyes to find himself sandwich between a lovely green eyes girl and a tall dark skinned man. He gave them a smirk slide one arm around the girl waist and the other slide back wards to rest against the man hip they dance for two song bodies swaying to the insane beat. The girl moves against him slick and hot. She leans in for a kiss. Lex shakes his head and slips out the hot embrace. It was still too early to start fooling around Conner was still up and there was a chance of him slip down stairs to watch. Lex was unwilling to let his son watching him go at it on the dance floor. He felt the eyes of the man and girl watching him. He move to the bar ordered a drink downed it in one go. He paused for a moment to watch the sway of moving bodies before heading back to the dance floor. He was twisting to the music when he saw him half way across the club dancing with a group of friends. Lex spotted Chloe and Pete and what had to be Lois even if her hair was darker and cut short, one couldn't mistake that sarcastic little twist of her mouth. Of course he would be here of all the fucking clubs in the city he would stop up at the one Lex owned. At least the lovely Miss Lana was missing. He turned his back to the group of friends and danced his dance. Clark Kent in his club was not going to ruin his night out. The song changed and Lex found himself sing along

Well that all that you are

Your just one shining star

Lex felt his presences before the arms slide around his waist pulling him back against a strong upper torso. He turned in the embrace to find himself steering in to a pair of familiarly hazel eyes.

"I though your clubbing days where over."

"Didn't know you knew where to find a club Kent."

Clark gave him a slightly shy smile as he gave Lex's waist a small tug and leading them off the dance floor.

"I did more than study in college Lex"

"I'm sure you did. What brings you here tonight?"

"Chloe it's her birthday she wanted to go out clubbing. Pete said he could get us in here so here we are."

Lex looked past Clark to where Pete stood a guilt look on his face. They would be having a long talk about advances warnings before the weekend was over. Clark's voice startled him away from his thoughts.

"So Lex what brings you here?"

"I own the place."

Clark frowned "I didn't know you owned any clubs. I wonder if Pete knew."

Lex smirked he could write books on the things Clark Kent didn't know.

"Is me being here bothering you Lex?"

"Not in the least Clark. We did say we could still be friend. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't allow you to dance in my club?"

"Don't be a bitch about it Lex."

Lex laughs, "when did your mouth get so dirty."

"LEX" his name was a plead and something else Lex couldn't place.

"Relax Kent I'm just joking with you."

"can you please call me by me name?"

"I did"

"No Lex you called me Kent my name is Clark or have you forgotten?"

"I don't forget CLARK"

"I know you don't forget" the words were said so soft Lex almost missed them under the thump of the music.

Clark turned his eyes to the wall but his hand stayed on Lex's hip

"Can we just dance. Clark I really want to move"

Clark turned to look at him "you'll dance with me?"

Lex didn't replay. He took hold of Clark's hand leading them back to the dance floor and started to move. Closing his eyes he lent in to Clark who picked up the beat. Clark shifted till Lex was leaning back to his chest. He wrapped his arms around Lex and moved.

Bugs followed Conner down the steps. The first time Lex had show up at the club kid in tow Bugs had been assigned the job of watching him. He had freaked out when the kid went missing 15 minutes in to his shift. He found Conner over an hour later toddling across the dance floor trying to get to his dad. Bugs had been surprise Lex hadn't seemed anger. He laugh picked up his kid and head to the backroom. After that, the disappearing act happened enough times to get Bugs paranoid about losing his job. When Conner turned three they made a deal seal with a glass of milk and ores cookies. Conner would sit upstairs for a while before Bugs took him down to watch his dad dance. When Conner stared to get tired Bugs would take him back to his playroom and he would go to sleep with no fuss. For the past year and a half there plan was working perfectly. Although Bugs had a sneaky suspicion Luthor was on to them.

Conner sat down on the floor of the balcony it over looked the whole club and gave him a nice view of his dad. From where he sat he could see his dad was dancing with a tall man who had a big smile on his face. Conner had never seen any one smile at his dad like that. A lot of people smiled at his dad especially when he was dancing with them but all their smiles seem selfish to him. This man was smile for his dad not at his dad. He leaned closer to the bars and watched as the man slipped one hand down to his dad's hip. His dad leaned back against the guy and let his head fall to rest on the man shoulder. His eyes where closed and he looked free more free than he ever looked this early. He usually needed a few drinks in him before he got that relaxed maybe he started drink early. Bugs came to sit beside Conner.

"Who is that man my papa dancing with?"

Bugs leaned over the rail when he looked back at Conner there was a frown on his face.

"That Clark Kent he on the VIP list but he never comes here."

"So my papa knows him?"

"You could say that."

Conner turns his gaze back to the dance floor. He wanted a good look at the man who held his dad.

"I want to meet him."

"Conner" Bugs could say a lot with just his name. That made Conner wonder if he took lesson from his dad.

"You can't stop me Bugs"

"Conner"

"I have to go Bugs. I have to know if it the smelly drink or the man."

"What do you have to know?"

Conner turns to look at his dad. his eyes where closed and he was smiling in that instant Conner made his choice.

"If he makes him smile just by dancing with him he can make his laugh."

"You make him laugh Conner."

Conner looked up at Bugs.

"He needs more. He needs a dad to make sure he doesn't get scared in the dark."

Bugs gave him on of those soft smiles that made his seem like a big teddy bear.

"If you get caught tell him you me knocked out."

"I'd never tell on you Bugs.

"I know kid."

Conner gave Bugs a quick hug before taking off down the steps.

Lex leaned back in to Clark embrace. It felt nice to move with him. He didn't have to worry about much with Clark Kent wrapped around him. Clark lent in close to his ear

"Lex there a kid running around you club"

Lex's head snapped up he turns to see Conner pushing his way throw the crowed no one but Clark seems to have noticed the four-year-old boy. He pulled slightly away from Clark who doesn't remove his hand off my hip.

"Do you know that kid Lex?"

Lex turns to face Clark face blank. "He's my son"

"Your son"

"Yes my son"

"But.. We you… Wow "

Before he could say more Conner slipped between a couple and trips over his feet. Clark reaches out on instinct and catches him before he hits the floor. Conner smiles up at him.

"I'm Conner Orion Kent-Luthor you made my papa smile."

Clark looks from Conner to Lex a look of wondrous confusion on his face.

"Is there something you want to tell me Lex."

Lex's gives him a tight smile" not at the present moment"

"Lex!"

"Clark!"

He looks angry eyes narrowed cheeks flushed. "I think there something you need to tell me now."

"No. Not here not now." Clark looks about ready to blow

Lex reachs out freeing Conner from Clark's arms. "We can go back to my place Clark. I'll tell you there. For now go tell Chloe and Lois your leaving. I'll meet you out front"

Clark moved to do as Lex bid

"Oh and tell Pete to come with you"

Conner looked up at his dad eyes wide with hope "Uncle Pete is here?"

Clark growled

"Of course he is Kon. Clark go nowhere with out his back up."

Conner looked confused Clark looked angry. Lex takes Conner hand and head for the back room. He wants desperately stop at the bar but would rather not expose Conner to anymore skin for the night.

Bugs was waiting in the back room. A newspaper curled between big hands he looked up as the Luthors entered.

"Let me guess he punched you?"

Bugs gave Lex a small guilty smile

"He's a strong kid Luthor"

A shake of his head hides a quick smile. "we're heading out now can you get his Lego put away."

Conner leaned in to Lex's side "Am I in trouble?"

"I'm not sure yet. I'll let you know when we get home for now I'm still thinking about it."

"I love you papa"

"That won't save you"

He let out a long sigh" had to try."

Bugs hand Lex the bag and the Lego tower taking both he heads out the backdoor Conner at his heals.

Clark and Pete are all ready waiting in front Lex's. Pete saw Lex coming and gave him a big smile

"Hay Lex you look cheerful"

"I'm going to get your phone shut off"

Pete's face fell "Why would you do that?"

"Advance warning Pete!"

He lifts an eyebrow "like I would know you where going to be at a club at 2 in the morning the day before you have a deal to close"

"Shut up Pete"

Lex glared, Conner shock his head.

"Hello Uncle Pete may I have a ride?"

Pete opened his arms Conner stepped in to them "Your getting big Kon, soon you'll be too big for piggy back rides"

Conner shakes his head "I'll never be that big Uncle Pete."

Clark stood lean against the car a glare on his face

"Is anyone going to tell me what the fuck is going on."

"Do not curse around my kid Clark."

Pete turns to look at Clark, Conner settled on his back.

"Not out here CK. wait till we get back to Lex's place."

"Can we go now!"

"You're getting inpatient in your old age Clark"

He glared at Lex. Who smirked and opened the door to his jag "Pete put Kon in the car. I'll meet you at me place"

Pete lifts Kon in to the car seat. Kon pouts.

"I wanted a piggy back ride" Pete kisses his forehead "There will be lots of time for that later"

Clark glared. Lex slide behind the wheel closing the door he takes off before Clark could find the words to voice his righteous anger. There was a lot he had to tell Clark too much that he never planed on tell him. Well not for years maybe when Conner was older and started developing the really odd powers. Clark Kent was going to be in his house. Lex's fingers bang out on beat of wheel he wished he had made that stop at the bar. Conner lent back in his seat and started humming a Christmas song.
