Disclaimer: The characters and world of 'Smallville' do not belong to me. However, I promise to put them back (in more or less the same condition) when I'm done playing with them.

Author's Note: Each 100 word chapter (true Drabbles) revolves around a one word prompt—i.e. the title—and connects to the larger story arc. The first eight are tags for the episode 'Reunion.' However, they pretty much springboard off after that.

Intimidation--(Reunion tag)

Ignoring the elevator's slow journey to the penthouse, Lex Luthor psyched himself for the looming appointment. Intentionally paying visit to one person who made his school-days miserable was a necessary obligation.

Oliver's timely arrival in Metropolis mysteriously correlated with an increase in dodgy situations for Lex. Whether it was karma or simple coincidence, Lex wanted the permanent departure of his old nemesis.

Lex could brush off Geoffrey and Alden's crude (but not underserved) murders. He also reconciled with the occasional attempt on his life as an occupational hazard. However, Lana's shave with death was personal and punishable.

'Let's finish this.'
