To get Clark and Lex together as friends, allies and lovers -- ideally forever.
What are you going to do to accomplish it, given the constraints on your powers?
I will use my mind-altering mutant powers on Helen Bryce, to cause her to kill Lionel instead of Lex. I will make sure, however, that she leaves behind enough evidence to make it obvious that not only did she cold-bloodedly murder the man, but she also accepted money from him and conspired with him against Lex before turning on Lionel.
What do you think the effect of your change will be?
Lex will be shocked and dismayed (perhaps more by the conspiracy against him than by Lionel's murder), and will divorce Helen and let her rot in prison. More importantly, Lex will be able to search for Clark when Clark puts on the red kryptonite ring and disappears. Lex will find Kal, and Kal will happily move into Lex's Metropolis penthouse and show off his powers and alien origins in order to lure Lex into bed. Lex will have the truth he's been searching for, and -- once he's somehow gotten the ring off Kal's finger -- he and Clark will forge a new and stronger and more honest alliance, both as friends and as lovers. Clark/Kal will avoid coming to Morgan Edge's attention, since he will be staying in Lex's penthouse rather than out pulling bank jobs. Lex will forever escape Lionel's influence and evil plans, and will have myriad reasons to stay good and law-abiding in order to keep peace with his significant other. The CLex will live happily ever after.
What might be the unintended consequences?
Jonathan and Martha (and perhaps even Clark's friends) may try to break our guys up, most likely by threatening to turn Lex in to the law for seducing a minor. And, since Jonathan won't have to borrow any superpowers from Jor-El, he's likely to live a very long life. (Drat!) Clark might keep the scar Jor-El gave him. Aside from that, I'm not sure if there are any negatives here, though I'm probably overlooking something. Or many somethings.
