"Mr. Luthor? There's a Lukas Ashton here to see you."
Loki smiled placidly at Luthor's receptionist. He could wait.

"Does he have an appointment?"
Lex was very busy at the moment, chewing on a fat Cuban cigar and watching world news on a giant wall television that CNN simply didn't warrant.

"Tell him it's important," Loki prompted politely. "He says it's important."

Lex almost rolled his eyes, everything was important these days.
Flipping the channel, Lex turned it to the security cameras where his secretary sat, and leaned forward. The man seemed terribly familiar, he wasn't sure why. He'd seen him somewhere before, television, or a magazine, or maybe he'd just been in front of him at Starbucks. Either way, the man was familiar.
Trying to fight back his curiosity was harder than he expected however. He flipped back the channel to CNN, and informed his useless secretary to send him up.

Loki was still quite skilled at replicating the halting, almost timid aura of respectful quiet that had indeed once been his general nature. When he peered into Luthor's office, it was with a mild, inquisitive, brow-lifted expression.
"Mr. Luthor, sir?"

"Come in, come in Mr. Ashton was it?"

"Yes, sir-"
He strode inside, the loose-limbed confidence of his gait belying his meek expression.

Raising an eyebrow slightly he brought attention to something other than a cocky smile, he believed if anyone saw a man like himself, with a smile like that (one he so eagerly wore) they'd think him more arrogant than most.
Although he was more arrogant than most, and would be the first to admit it... just not to anyone but himself.
Standing he held a hand out to the chairs in front of his desk "Take a seat, talk to me."

Loki smiled politely and sat down.
"I hope I find you well-"

"Always, always Mr. Ashton."
What is it that is so important that you interrupted me?

"I know you're not, ah, primarily based in New York," said Loki, "but I believe we might be of mutual use to one another."

"I've a few offices in New York this is true, it's no Metropolis-" he trailed off with a wave of his hand "no matter, explain."

"You see, sir, I'm running for mayor of New York City in the emergency elections."
He leaned back.
"And I understand you're eyeing the presidency."

"My political goals are no secret" he replied, making sure Aston understood that it wasn't anything special that he knew "if anything, they're something of a fall back conversation for journalists."
Tapping his foot, he smiled "It's something of a hobby of mine, watching as well as of course helping, the rebuilding of New York. The most interesting of course, the political leaders coming forth... yet this is the first I've heard of you."

"The subject only occurred to me after... well, to put it delicately, after Manhattan," Loki said swiftly. "It was a moment of clarity, as the saying goes."
