((Cont from here)) He was bandaged and bruised, but in good spirits. The nurses had kept the reporters at bay long enough and he was prepared for what he needed to say. Beside him stood Ms. Wilde, a bastion of strength and determination; she was cold, calculating and just personable enough to keep people from suspecting as he suspected that she was dead inside. He put on his most pained expression and squared his shoulders as the reporters all filed in to his private room. They of course immediately started speaking. "Wait" he raised his hand with a small cough and they quieted down "this is a press conference my friends, not a feeding frenzy. I am sure you all have a lot of questions and you're all looking for the inside information as to what went on inside of the Metropolitan. But I am very tired as they have given me some medication to deal with the pain" he paused and held his side "although I might admit only helps to take the edge off. So you'll have to forgive me if my responses aren't quite as eloquent or detailed as they normally would be."

Smiling she pointed to the left most reporter "We will start here, if you have a question please raise your hand and do not speak out. Announce who you are and where you are from, it's imperative that this be done in an orderly fashion and quickly as Mr. Luthor has been hurt fairly severely and will need his rest."
The reporter she pointed to put his hand up "Barry Monahan, Chicago Sun Times, how are you feeling Mr. Luthor?"

"Well Barry, I've got three broken ribs, a bruised clavicle and some damage to my left knee and hip. Other than that son, I'm feeling fantastic."

There was an uncomfortable laughter through the room "Well I imagine that's from the medicine Mr. Luthor, what can you tell us about what happened tonight?"
Regina took a step back and leaned against the wall.

"That's a pretty open ended question Barry" Lex tiled his head slightly "a lot of things happened tonight, a man died, people were hurt and my old running mate is most likely a norse god" he was dead serious in his response.
Another hand flew up and Lex pointed.

"Not personally, however the woman who murdered him did happen to be his sister."

"His sister?" There was mumbling through the room and Regina allowed herself a small smirk "Did you know her then?"

Lex smiled sadly "I did in fact, quite well" he lied, they'd never know "Ms. Jessica Cartwright. Before she murdered her brother he called her a parasite, mentioning something about her not being her" he furrowed his eyebrows "it's very much possible that Ms. Cartwright was or is being controlled by something other than herself, I can not answer for how long this has been happening, that would be Tony Stark you'd want to talk to."

"Mr. Luthor, Aveline Parker, Life Magazine, are you implying that Ms. Cartwright, a well known and adored Historian is responsible for all of this?"

"I imply nothing Ms. Parker, this is fact" he stared her down "I was there and I watched her- change" he looked visibly uncomfortable for a minute "anyone in the building can tell you that and I'm sure you all knew this before you came here. Ms. Cartwright removed a scepter from the collection and murdered her brother in cold blood. She stabbed him through the chest and laughed" he took a small breath.
Another hand went up and Lex nodded.

"A norse god yes" he smiled gently "Loki, is what they were chanting, he saved my life."

"Are you sure he's a god though? Not just another super hero?"

"What super hero would take on the name of the one who brings about the end of the world?" He raised his eyebrows.
