Walking over, he handed the glass to her before raising his own for a small sip. There were many unspoken things between the two of them.

“I could say the same to you.”

“ and i . . . i appreciate that . ”

there was more she wanted to say , much more , but it could not flow easily from her tongue , so simpler words came instead .

“ it means a lot to me that you care . ”

The world isn’t as black and white as you think it is.

Even Lucifer was an angel.

Well surprise.

Gimme about 8 shots of tequila and 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 we’ll talk.

“I would never ask that.”

Almost reluctantly, he stepped away to pour them a drink. The brandy that he had in his office, with his gold trimmed glasses.

“I haven’t had somebody I trusted working her as much as you in a long time.”

her own face couldn’t be rid of the smile that was found there —- he was smiling at her , and she understood the rarity of the situation .

@NOVALEEDA — moment.

With his hands on her waist, Lex kept her close while keeping it respectful. Their bodies swayed like a melody, and he nodded at her words.

“So do I.”

While one hand held his glass, the other slipped into his pocket. The man listened closely to what she had to say, especially as she brought up people that could have died in this battles.

“That’s why I believe super powered individuals, including the Justice League, are —

Novalee takes the drink listening intently. The brunette would say nothing about metahumans in general, with her own secret she could be considered one. That was something she was very careful about.

“Thank you.”

She says taking a sip of—

@NOVALEEDA The tiniest of laughs is exhaled through his nose at her response. In all of his life, he had been to hundreds of these events. In a lot of instances by himself, in some with a model on his arm.

But he hadn’t felt as relaxed as he did right now. As content with being in the —

Jeez, they’re burning. He should get off the computer more.

@NOVALEEDA — swayed and moved to the music, he smiled again. He did enjoy her company.

“From being bored,” the billionaire responded, his eyes staring into hers for a brief moment as the music allowed them to fall into the dancing.

[𝕃𝕖𝕩 𝕃𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 @CorpOfLuthor]

@NOVALEEDA In all of his life, throughout the traumatic events and memories, Lex had learned that you have to take in the brief moments of happiness when you could.

Moments when you didn’t have to be stressed, you could just be happy. That didn’t occur much for him.

As the two of them —

[𝕃𝕖𝕩 𝕃𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 @CorpOfLuthor]

The city was always so beautiful at night.

Standing in front of the large window of his office, Lex paid attention to every light in the city and every star in the sky.

One day, it would all be his. One day.

[𝕃𝕖𝕩 𝕃𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 @CorpOfLuthor]

He’s walking the streets of Metropolis, coffee in hand and enjoying the weather.

It’s a good day so far.

@NOVALEEDA — going to come. The ways he was going to help Metropolis.

And Novalee. It was evident to him that she needed a break from whatever was haunting her.

As they got closer to the dance floor and the music filled the air, Lex pulled her fairly close to him. His hands went to her —

Don’t mind him pouring her a cup, then.

@azureinquiry — “I’ve read your work, Miss Page,” he told her, breaking the brief moment of silence.

“Good stuff.”

[𝕃𝕖𝕩 𝕃𝕦𝕥𝕙𝕠𝕣 @CorpOfLuthor]

@azureinquiry — over his notepad.

Wearing a black suit with a purple shirt, Lex went to his bar cart and poured himself a scotch and one for her as well. Both glasses were brought to the table, and he set hers in front of her before sitting across from her. His legs crossed as he smiled. —
