What is your goal? Clark does not abandon Lex at the end of Shattered, but sticks with him, helps him.
What are you going to do to accomplish it, given the constraints on your powers? I'm thinking coversation a la' the caves of contrivance: today the part of Jor-El is played by the wise and benevolent treetracer: Kal-El, Lex Luthor will soon see you as you are, the last son of Krypton possessed of a might and strength surpassing that of any human. In that moment, you will remember the voices of those who raised you saying 'hide away, flee discovery'.
It is here you must embrace your destiny as a leader, save Lex Luthor from his father and in doing so save your family, your friends and the world from a far worse fate.
Clark: Huh?
Standin!Jor-El: Save Lex Luthor from his father and from himself. In this you will become a hero among men.
Clark: uh, ok.
What do you think the effect of your change will be? Clark stops the car from hitting Lex, sees that Lex *knows*, and bam! right there steps up to the plate, takes responsibility for *who he is*, *what he's done*, and more importantly, what he can *do*. He spirits Lex away from the pysch doctor and together they hide out, get Toby to detox Lex on the side, and plan their return to Smallville.
What might be the unintended consequences? 1. Clark might subvert his destiny as world protector to *Lex's* protector; taking his father's words *so* seriously that he perceives any threat to Lex as a ripple effect threat to the world.
2. Lex doesn't get his brain zapped and remembers *everything.* Does he become bitter and plot revenge against his father, or does he let Clark influence him back to the good side?
3. Lionel targets the Kents to get to Clark to get to Lex.
Dude, this almost makes me want to write SV again. :-)
