xparrot | episode fic: "Progeny"

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!
