Disclaimer: I do not own Lex, Clark, or Smallville. Though if I did it would be a LOT better then it's been as of late!
Authors notes & Warnings:Ok so I was on a Smallville message board and reading posts about Will Lex Remember Clark and Know He's Super Man? Type things and this little ficlet popped into my head.

This is a future fic set just around the time Clark first starts wearing the Superman outfit and going public and getting in the news a lot and after he's working at the Daily Planet.

I don't own anyone or anything!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lex sat back in his chair, sipping his drink, as he flipped though a pile of news papers, caching up on the daily news, while he listened to the TV.

He nearly choked when a name caught his eye. 'Clark Kent of The Daily Planet'?! It couldn't be. Not Clark Kent from Smallville. The boy barely paid any attention to his work at the school news paper! Lex's eyes moved to the small picture next to the column. It was him! He was in a suit and wearing glasses but there was no mistaking that face. It was really Clark Kent!

Lex shook his head in disbelief. Who'd of ever thought Clark Kent would end up working for The Daily Planet?

Suddenly he caught something on the TV and turned up the volume. A reporter was sitting facing the camera and talking. "As you all know the strange being we've come to call 'Superman' has been seen all over Metropolis and the whole world in the last few days. Now here with me is the man him self! Superman! Hello Superman. If I may call you that?"

The Camera moved and now Lex almost fell out of his chair. "Hello Cathy. Yes. Superman is fine." Lex stared in shock as suddenly everything he'd heard about Superman over the last few days and memories from a decade ago rushed though his head. "CLARK!"

The reported on screen gushed. "Oh thank you! And thank you so much for being here! Now you told us you wanted to tell the world some things correct?"

Clark or rather Superman nodded. "Yes Cathy. Yes I do. Hello world. I am Superman. I'm an alien. Ok stop freaking. I'm here to help the world not take it over. I'm here to save people and right wrongs and triumph over evil. The world has nothing to fear from me unless you're evil. I just wanted to let you all knows this since everyone has been worried since I showed up a few days ago."

Lex stared at the TV in disbelief. "I don't believe it! He's gotten more stupid! Has the boy never heard of a mask?! Does he WANT the whole world to know who he is?! Everyone in Smallville must be throwing things at their TV right now!"

The reporter stared at Clark in adoration. "Wow... I mean um thank you so much Superman! I'm sure many, many people minds are at ease now!"

Superman grinned brightly in the way that ANYONE who knew The Kent's would know. "You're welcome Cathy! Well I have to be going now. People to save and all. Nice talking to you!" He then flew off leaving the reporting staring after him.

"Huh? Oh yes! Well you saw it first here! Superman him self! The man the whole world has wondered about! We now know more about him and I'm sure in the coming future we will learn even more! Back you to you Tom!" Lex lowered the volume as the news went back to normal and rubbed his hands over his face and bald head. "Clark Kent is Superman. Well at least I FINELY know how he managed to save my life when I ran him over with my car..."

Lex stood up ans started pacing. His mind raced going over everything he'd just learned. He paused and suddenly smirked as he walked over to his desk and pulled out his daily planer and wrote something in it. "I think Clarky is going to be in for a surprise when I show up at The Daily Planet tomarow....I can't wait to see the look on his face!"

He walked back to his chair and sat back down sipping his drink which he chuckled to him self picturing the shock Clark would be in for tomorrow.
