episode fic: "Progeny"

[xparrot]

So after rewatching most of "Progeny" I decided that Lex is the hero of the ep, at least comparatively speaking; he was attacked first, and spent the ep trying to contain a dangerous emergency situation that was his responsibility, as cleanly as he could.

I also decided that after Lex, my second favorite character is Lowell, the hat-wearing super-strong meteor mutant with two lines of six words total. Obviously his story needed to be told, and since I don't know if we'll ever see him again, I went ahead and fic'ed it.

This is pretty unapologetically Lex-apologist, or else not at all; take it as you will, and remember as always that no narrator is entirely reliable or unbiased. Either way, Lex needs some minions, darn it!

Lex can be very charismatic and as charming as his father, when he wants to be...I don't know why he doesn't have fanatically loyal minions! I'm hoping he does have them and they're just stashed away in 33.1, but will be revealed eventually...
