Lex Luthor

@YourPrankster @MsTeschmacher - the next stage." Soon the Chevrolet merged into the traffic leaving away from the city center.

@YourPrankster @MsTeschmacher - Luthor straightened up, pulling the bloody gloves from his hands, tossing them into the boot. "Ditch the car," he said to Eve as he walked towards another car under the vast canopy. This car, a racing green Chevrolet. "And meet me back at the office. We have much to plan for -

Luthor shook many hands as he made his way across the stage. He moved towards the back with a last wave to the crowd, his arms raised, before exiting off stage. He was escorted to a waiting car beneath a canopy, turning to @MsTeschmacher. "Do we have him?"

@YourPrankster @MsTeschmacher - a handful of the Prankster's hair. "Unfortunately for you, I'm quite good at reading people, understanding their motives. A lifetime in business."

@YourPrankster @MsTeschmacher "You're probably wondering how I knew, aren't you, Oswald. Wondering how I knew your escape before this day would be such a return for you. A time for you to have the masses of this city in the same place for you to perform your greatest jest yet." With his left hand he grabbed-

@MsTeschmacher Luthor nodded, accepting the gloves, pulling them on and clenching a fist each time they were fitted. He nodded to one of his men who opened the boot of the car. Luthor stared down at @YourPrankster. "Hello Oswald."

@MetropolisMogul "Yes, he is in the boot." She would open her bag and hand Lex a pair of black gloves with steel knuckle impact protection. "He was very loud so we needed to provide him with a gag."

- Metropolis is back! - The city has reopened! #OneYearOn! - Thank you, @MetropolisMogul! And thank you, Metropolis!

- And there we have it! - What a speech! - And @MetropolisMogul cuts the red tape to a thunderous applause, once more the voices of Metropolis are one! - What a time to be alive! Beautiful!

- today or tomorrow, this city, Metropolis, has shown once more that it will never fall. Metropolis, I salute you.”

- city has risen time and time again. It has done so again following the Hour of Terror. “With remarkable courage, with a steel-like efficiency, we are here today, #OneYearOn, to celebrate all of you. I praise you all and I am awestruck by your courage. “Whatever threats we face-

“A year ago, the Terrible Toyman, @WinslowSchott, carried out a cowardly act of terror upon this city, instigated by comments made by @TheSymbolOfHope. These atrocious actions resulted in the deaths of thousands, the ruination of lives, and the destruction of this great city. -

- Here we are! Downtown! And @MetropolisMogul is striding up onto the stage, and the crowd… - The noise! - … their voices are one as they hail the saviour of this city! I am sure I saw some of those down on the stage stagger from that cheer! - Blew the metaphorical roof off!

- A lot of eyes on LexCorp Tower this morning with the knowledge that @MetropolisMogul, who has spent the last year with all his resources, rebuilding this city. - What a sacrifice! - Just an amazing display of humanity! - We are hoping to grab some of his time later today.

@MsTeschmacher @MetropolisEagle @TedBergstresser He placed his glass down and stared at the tablet. Luthor nodded. "We do indeed know him. I would like a message given to him tomorrow," Luthor said, rising from his chair. "A warm message, one that delivers a pattern."

@MetropolisMogul She would end the meeting, silencing the screen. "We have a request from the @MetropolisEagle. A reporter, @TedBergstresser. We know him." Walking up beside him, Eve would place a tablet before Lex, an image of the reporter and tabs displaying his articles. "I have said no."

Cognac in glass, glass in hand, Luthor gently swirled the liquid within, listening to the updates through the latest online meeting. They were going to make it, with time to spare. The work would be complete hours before the reopening ceremony. "Good, good," he said, quietly. -
