Great story one that combines some of my favorite characters. In this one Clark is his usual not paying attention to who is watching and this time he will pay the price. Two characters are killed right off the bat it is amazing what one change can do. With Clark unaware of what is happening, Lana and Luthor are killed in the tornado setting off a series of events. Clark is kidnapped and will auctioned off by a group that specializes in unusual and highly illegal auctions for the very rich.  Luckily Tony Dinozzo is visiting his cousin Martha and agrees that Lex is the best chance that Clark has of getting free. They all work together adding Jethro who comes looking for Tony and Bruce Wayne. Jonathon Kent is an ass before, during and after the kidnapping not wanting to accept responsibility for his own actions. I have always felt that 1/2 the reason Lex goes bad is the behavior of Jonathon Kent. Great story, believable characters and some kickass action scenes. Lex goes above and beyond to prove his loyalty to Clark, a loyalty that Clark returns. Tony finds a place to belong and cause to believe in, Jethro finds that he needs more then work in order to live and Martha finds that she is ready to step up and believe in others to help Clark become all that he can be.
