Lex isn’t a guy; he’s a man.

Understatement of the year!

I'm loving these drabbles and can see you really expanding the second one. The issue of hiding his gifts within the context that you've written it has been skittered over in the show. Yes, they have him pretend to be normal but I'd love to see how much a struggle it is, how he really has to study the people around him to gage what is normal and what is not.
