okay, we need to get serious on this thing. I've got a little bit on how Lex came to be with them, but I'm not sure if I typed it up or if it's still in na note book. If I find it, I'll send it to you. :)
And I think that's the perfect role for Lex in Sam's life. I always see Sam as kind of hungry for knowledge and that would satisfy Lex's need to be needed. But Dean still should be the major force in Sam's life, in some way. Hey, doesn't this make Lex the middle child?
Oh, definitely Dean would always be first in Sam's life. It's just that Dean and Lex are different enough that I think they could fill different needs for Sam, with Dean teaching him weapons and fighting techniques while John is away, and Lex teaching more 'school-type' things. Of course, Dean would be helping John to teach Lex, too, at first, unless John didn't start teaching Dean until after Lex had joined them, which seems unlikely. And, yes, this makes Lex the middle child. Hmmm -- from only child to middle child in one soul-scarring day. (I can see Dean trying to talk Lex into doing his science homework or math homework or something he considers equally useless, and Lex finally giving in and muttering that he'll take care of it once Sam is in bed.)

"Ah, c'mon. You can do this stuff backwards and forwards, and it just gives me headaches."
Lex tried to seem stern in the face of that hopeful gaze. "If I do all your homework for you, you'll never learn anything."
"Lex. Geometry. When am I ever going to need geometry?"
That brought a baffled frown. "For shooting. For any kind of projectile weapon. Hell, for hustling pool, if nothing else."
"Pool?" Dean looked almost horrified. "You do equations in your head when we're playing pool?"
Lex blinked. "You don't?"
