Lex stared out the large window of his Metropolis office.
He had his first conference today.
Although through web cam. He'd be speaking to the humbled masses of New York, at one of their largest tech seminars of the year. It would be here that he'd officially announce his admission to the presidential race.
"Hearts and minds win wars they say" he muttered to no one in particular.

***MANY MONTHS LATER***
Madison strolled into the gloomy lobby of the Metropolis branch of Lex Corp, wearing a large fur coat and a pair of dark sunglasses. It was chilly and the incoming sun was shining off of every wet surface in the city; her hangover didn't thank her for leaving the house. Her heels clacked against the marble flooring but nobody turned, it was a familiar sound in the building and not a single soul cared; she felt invisible and that terrified her.
Quickly she got the clerk at the front desk, she was responsible for knowing everyone who was coming or going from the building and her irritated look proved she had no idea who Madison was. Clearing her throat she smiled her most paparazzi friendly smile "Can you inform Mr. Luthor that Madison Springfield is on her way up to see him?"
"Do you have an appointment?"
"No, but he'll want to see me I can assure you."
"I doubt that" the clerk tapped on the keyboard of her computer as she sneered at the monitor, which Madison recognized as a new LexCorp holographic model 7. She hated that he was everywhere. "Without an appointment-"
"I'll just call him and tell him how incompetent his clerk is-"
"Hold on" the clerk raised her hand and shook her head "fine, but if he tells me to send you away-"
"Trust me" he'd never turn away a chance to bully me. The clerk held her finger across her ear and Luthor's face showed up on the screen.
"Mr. Luthor a Ms. Madison Springfield is here to see you-"

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows with a laugh "Send the old girl up, limited access pass."
He waved his hand and the image disappeared from his monitors.

"He uh-" the clerk turned to Madison surprised and began scrambling for a pass "please put your thumb here" Madison did so and a pass with her face and thumb print, printed on the front "right elevator, top-"
"Top floor, corner office with the big doors, yea not my first rodeo" she snagged the pass and a clip and clipped it to her jacket. With a quick turn, she walked dramatically to the elevator and a shit eaten grin. As the doors of the elevator closed however she lost all of her confidence and wrapped her arms around her.
"What am I even doing here?" She sighed and leaned her head against the back of the elevator, it dinged open faster than she expected.

Lex was standing in front of the elevator when it dinged, leaned carefully on a cane.
"Hello sugar."

Madison jumped a little and held her chest "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"If anything's to give you a heart attack sugar, it'd be the coke" he smiled.

"Do you not watch the news?" He followed her toward his office, obviously a little stiff.

"Like what sugar?" He replied, sarcasm dripping from every letter "You haven't done a thing in your life worth remembering, well-" he smirked "-except for me."

She tensed her jaw and stopped in front of the doors to his office "Are you going to tell me or am I just going to have to google it?"

"I'm sure if would have come up when you searched 'Lex Luthor Campaign Schedule" He stopped next to her, his smile suddenly gone "You know what happened, stop trying to make conversation, it's unbecoming" his office doors opened suddenly and he headed toward his desk.

"Can't we just act like normal people for once? Have a normal conversation?"

"We aren't normal people" he replied looking down at a stack of papers, the big doors to his office suddenly slammed shut "and we can't have normal conversations. Small talk is trivial and boring and I for one deplore it, so do me a big favor and get to the point of why you're here."
