"Intrigued" he replied "not interested" he shifted his weight to the right "It's a wonder however that you're working for Lex, is the government watching him after all these years? I know not to trust a spy but you've got no way to lie to me, I need to know everything."

He underestimated just how good she was at lying. Her heart never faltered, her breathing never changed as she told the story.
"Time is of the essence so I'll give you the quick version. You're right in assuming I'm a spy, been one for years, the US government created Regina Wilde and gave her a background so that when I suddenly became visible any probing would not come up empty. I work for Lex to keep an eye on his campaign, he's underhanded and sneaky but currently seems fairly sincere in his promises. Using the money he pays me, as well as the money given to me through government funding I'm creating a taskforce. The government is aware but not wholly; so when the Keene act is repealed, and it will be repealed, we'll all ready have the upper hand on national security."

If she was lying she was very good at it "If Lex wins the election it wont be."

She smiled, pulled out her phone, opened it to the texts and turned it to face Superman. The last text was from Lex and it read: "We have to spin this, that shitheel Ashton is being worshiped like a god and the public is opinion on heroes have changed dramatically in the past year. I wont be on the wrong side of history no matter my personal opinion. If I'm to win we have to appeal to he public."
She put her phone back in her purse and tilted her head.

"You'll forgive me if past experiences with Lex color my opinion" he frowned "I still don't trust him, nor do I trust you."

"As you shouldn't, Lex is still a egomaniac and I'm a spy, there's nothing to trust" she sighed "but understand that this event has given us an opportunity to regain our rights. The next is convicing the world that mutants aren't a threat."
Which will never happen, nor will repealing the keene act change the other half of the nations opinion on heroes. Humans are foolish and punchy Superman when will you learn.

"Hey! HEY!" She called to him, knowing damn well he could hear her "you asshole! You can't just leave me on the roof!" But he had, she groaned and used her particular set of skills to get down the side of the building and toward the med tent.
"Get out of my way!" She told a nurse who was trying to stop her.

"I'm sorry miss unless you're injured-"
"Nurse allow her through" Lex's voice came out of the tent in a boom, then a cough.

Regina moved past her with false concern "Mr. Luthor-" he was a mess "why haven't they carted you to a hospital?

"Is that concern in your voice?" He laughed but was immediately reminded of his injuries.

"Of course not" she said a little too quickly "maybe concern for my salary" she turned angrily to find an emergency worker that would have answers. Quickly she realized nobody cared and they were too busy with old women who got rushed in to corners, she started rolling through her contacts and hit one quickly "I need an emergency medical helicopter at the metropolitan museum, yes, Mr. Lex Luthor, yes" she paused "thank you."
Walking over to Lex she leaned down "The helicopter will be here in 15 minutes, in ten start gasping for air."

He raised his eyebrow "There are people here who need that more than me, but who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth."

"These people are parasites" she hissed "their lives are meaningless in the long run."

"And I thought I had a bad night" he tried adjusting himself on the stretcher but bit in to his lip as he tried "when I get to the hospital I want a press conference, call everyone from the times to the enquirer, everyone. We have to make this work for me."
