In the past month Lex Luthor had been around the world, making stops in places like Hong Kong, Sydney, New York, San Fransisco, Los Angeles, Melbourne, Dublin and now London.
He had his people hastily throw together a charity event supporting this and that from some disaster that had struck somewhere at some time. That was the most he knew about it and in his speech he used quite a few key words like 'tragedy' and 'quick response' and people clapped and got excited when he got excited and then it was over, drinks were handed out and music began to play.
These type of things bored him to tears, but a big smile convinced the world he was thoroughly enjoying himself. A few journalist's who'd made the list hounded him with questions, some probing others horribly typical:
"Mr. Luthor why run for president?"
"It's a complicated question with a very simple answer miss: The United States is in need of a fresher eye. These past three terms of Nixon have left us all with a bad taste in our mouths, his policies are stagnant and old fashioned. I think America's ready for something new and with no one else stepping up to the plate, I figured I could be the man for that job."
"What about your past? Can the people trust you?"
"Of course they can, I'm not a politician and I hope that I've more than made up for my less than pleasant past. I'm a businessman and I don't mince words, never have never will. You want to know the truth? I haven't as issue in telling it."
"What about Superman?"
"Superman? What of him?"
"Well you two have famously butted heads, if you don't mind the crude saying-"
"Not at all-"
"How do you think he feels about your candidacy?"
"I believe, if Superman had any real concern for my plans he'd have made them known. Yet still, not a word from the man of steel. I think it goes to show you that even he seems to have accepted that I have honestly repented. Now I really must mingle-"
"Mr. Luthor just one more question-"
"Just one more? Or will this turn in to a long string of questioning that keeps me even longer from my lovely guests?"
The journalists laugh and there's a question about Elle "She's a lovely young woman who've I known a while, any questions about her should be directed toward her, not I, thank you."
He waves them all away and grabs a glass of champagne with a roll of his eyes Peasants.
