## Background

### 1998 - 2004: Lewis Peter Ross

Lewis Peter Ross is the only child of childhood friends, Pete Ross & Lana Lang. The two somewhat lost contact after high school & only communicated rarely to check up on each other. While Lana was working in the public relations office at Goldstar Inc, she became reacquainted with Pete after literally running into him on the streets of Smallville (she was distracted by her phone & walked right into him). The two began hanging out more as Lana begcame a regular sighting in Smallville to check in on Martha Kent, who had recently become a widow. Between their many coffee & dinner dates, the two discovered there was more than just a friendship between them.

When Lana discovered she was pregnant after dating for some months, Pete proposed & they were married the next week at the courthouse to avoid any hassle. Lana figured they would start their lives together in Metropolis but Pete wanted her to move to Smallville. He felt it was important for their child to get that same experience as them & Lana let him convince her it was the right idea. For income, Pete bought a general store for them to manage. Just as they settled in the small town, Lana gave birth to their son Lewis Peter Ross.

Things worked out for a bout a year before Lana finally decided she had enough. She constantly told Pete how she wanted to move but he would not budge. Arguments over their residence led to more & worse arguments that made them realize they were definitely not meant to be together. Lana then took Lewis & moved back to Metropolis before the divorce was even finalized. She got her job back at Goldstar Inc then spent her nights & weekends with Lewis.

Because he was so young, his parents worked out a compromise for Lana to bring Lewis to Smallville often as she was very close with Martha Kent, the mother of her ex boyfriend Clark. The two were able to be amicable throughout the divorce.

Just months after their move, his mother began dating the business mogul Lex Luthor. Lewis was way too young to understand the dynamics but when they moved into his penthouse the next year, Lex became a bonus father to him. After the two got married, Lewis gained a stepsister, Lena. If his father was not around, he would ask Lex questions & Lex would frequently try to make time for the boy as he did with his daughter growing up.

### 2004 - 2016: Lewis Peter Ross

Lewis lived a charmed life. In Metropolis, he was seen as the son of a multi-billionaire with anything at his disposable. But when he went to Smallville to see his father, he was a small town boy who helped his father run the general store & Martha Kent with her farm. He began two different lives & enjoyed both of them equally, with each shaping him in hiw own way. Lewis would like to say he got most of his values from Smallville but the resources to use them in Metropolis.

Around the time that his father became the state's senator, Lewis became close with a girl around his age named Sally McKnight. Sally was the son of local artist & painter Tyler McKnight, whose works were featured all throughout town. Tyler had went to school with both of his parents but they were mostly acquaintences. The two quickly became best friends, with the two looking forward to Lewis' returns to the small town. But Sally had a secret: she was a witch. Sally had only recently discovered her heritage & had kept it a secret from Lewis until the two started dating right before high school. Lewis accepted her with open arms & told her that she was the coolest person he knew. He event started calling her Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. When Sally had to move to Gotham during her sophomore year, the two changed their meeting spot from the Smallville cornfields to the Gotham's Robinson Park, a halfway meeting point between Gotham Academy & Hamilton High.

As this was going on, Lewis began to feel the pressure to prove his worth to his family. Lena had just graduated high school at the age of sixteen & earned herself a full scholarship to Ivy University. So Lewis began diving into his work & Sally did the same, trying to mater her occultism. The two's devotion to their studies led to the two breaking up but staying cordial enough for coffee dates every month or so. When Lewis graduated from Gotham Academy, he couldn't decide on where to attend college. Though he was originally sold on attending either Gotham or Metropolis University, he changed his mine after a heart to heart with his stepfather. In the fall, Lewis enrolled at Ivy University.
