Lex peered at Kal as if he could see into his head. He said, "You, AI, explain to him. You must know Earth's history. Are you blocking him? Show him—Rome, Persia, England…show him what it means. To conquer."
Kal jerked, and gasped, his eyes going in and out of focus. "But it's not like that! *We're* not like that. We only want good for our people, all of them."
Lex nodded. "I know, I know. He wrapped arms around Kal, and whispered into his neck. "I believe you, Kal, I believe in you."
I loved this bit, i feel all sorry for Kal. He's lived a really sheltered life, he's not ready to think that anyone in his family probably had to be extremely ruthless in order to get into the sort of position they hold. But Lex will set him straight, he just has to do so in baby steps.
I can't wait until the next meeting, and i want them to go back to the Kent farm so Martha can basically adopt Kal all over again lol.
