   Summary

   Self-awareness and control were among Lex Luthor's many strong suits, and he knew that allowing himself to sink into obsession yielded great results.

   But what he couldn't understand was why his focus was being torn between taking down Superman, an alien threat, and coveting the attention of Clark Kent, a Midwestern journalist.

   Or why his fixation on Clark was threatening to consume him whole.
