the_rckTitle: This Is My Bargain
Fandom: DCU, Smallville
Rating: T
Length: 3226 words
Characters: Lex Luthor, Jor-El. Background Clark/Lex.
Tags: Alternate Universe - Post-Apocalypse, Fortress of Solitude, Desperate Measures, Comic Book Science, Doomed Timelines, Time Travel, Artificial Intelligence, In-Laws, Dubious Ethics, Ambiguous/Open Ending
Notes: Lex uses 'it' to refer to the Jor-El AI/interface with the Fortress of Solitude in his own thoughts. He's probably doing it-- whether consciously or not-- to dehumanize the AI.
Ruminations on mortality and depression. References to past suicidal intent and to the possibility of Lex becoming suicidal again.
Second in a series (linked below). Sequel to The Very Self of the Storm, the story I wrote for Darkest Night 2016.
Summary: "There is something else..." The AI sounded as if it were forcing out words made of razor blades. "It might work. It might not."
This time, Lex let his laughter out, bitterness and all. "Because I've never tried things that might not work."
