to my little lamb

SUMMARY

“You listen to me, and you listen carefully, Lex. You are an omega, you can’t change what you are. Do you think anyone will see a genius when they look at you? No, they will see what you are, what is between your legs. If I hand this company to you, if I call you my heir, they won’t support you. They’ll tear you apart. And the company will collapse, my legacy with it.”

Pitiful. Weak. Omega—

“You already know how the world works, Lex,” Lionel presses. “But you still think yourself above it...”

It’s been twelve years since Lex has seen himself as an omega, since his father treats him like shit, since his mother acts like a victim through it all. He’s already built the ideal life, the ideal form until he’d almost forgotten what it was like being one… until Superman.
