Synopsis for "Clark & Lex"
Young Clark Kent is bored of his slow life in Smallville, and his parents constantly telling him to hide how special he is. He enters a Young Journalist contest run by Luthorcorp's Brainwave Foundation, hoping it will be a gateway to a more exciting life. He makes it to the finals, which are held at Luthorcorp Tower in Metropolis, and his adoptive parents agree to let him go. At the train station, he is met by Lex Luthor, the son of Luthorcorp CEO Lionel Luthor and another finalist. Lex insists that he won his spot in the finals fair and square by entering under a false name, and that his father didn't even want him to participate. He quickly impresses Clark with his wealth and lavish lifestyle, and invites Clark to stay with him at his luxury penthouse.
