Beautiful finish to the story! I really like Robert's conversation with Lex, and I especially like Lex knowing full well that Connor and Clark are listening to everything said. Love the reconciliation scene, with Connor's head on Lex's shoulder, and Clark gathering them both into a hug. *purrs happily*
Lex took his time. "Superboy can make an unofficial appearance," he said finally. "One city-wide fly-by, no longer than a quarter of an hour, starting at 10:15 AM precisely. If you oversleep, you miss the chance."
"All right!" Conner cried, pumping his fist. "Awesome!"
"Lex," Clark said, "what happens at 10:15?"
"Absolutely nothing," Lex said, in a very particular voice that Robert knew meant he was being completely deceitful by being entirely honest.
Clark put an arm around the supervillain's shoulders. "Then what happens at 10:30?"
That is so perfect! A truly and awesomely Lexian moment.
Then there's the lovely bit with Lex and Richie talking supergenius-shop over Richie's latest invention, while Connor goes all Clark-enthusiastic over the prospect of Martha's pie, and the utterly wonderful closing with the dust coming down and Martha cheerfully hoping it's the pheromo-spores. Huzzah! *dances with glee* Love this!
