"Unfortunately no" he laughed "I've outlined my policies and I've accepted the nomination, I don't have an rallys for a few days and I'm tired of looking out at the city instead of being in the city."

"The reference isn't lost on me" he frowned "we stand for technological progress for a more advanced future."

"So your idea of seeing the city is tracking down a 23-year-old lab assistant for a good time. Gosh, Lex, and just when you were surging in the polls."
She turned toward the kitchen.

"-lab assistant? Who's lab?" He felt almost betrayed, though he had no right to.

"Technically, Adrian Veidt's. More of a name on the door situation, really."

"Yes, true he doesn't spend any time in the lab these days. Than who?"

"Of course" he thought about just breaking in to Veidt's database, he could probably do it from his phone. "He's left the clean energy game to Stark yes?"
Stark was another one he'd like to see fall. From what he understood though, his associations with a known murderer and the reason for his injuries was doing a small number on his reputation. It didn't hurt Lex any to see the spotlight trust on to others for the time being. Let him recuperate, humble and smiling. Let them believe that Lex is a changed man.

"I don't think either of them see it as a competition," said Megan. "If either of them comes up with something it will benefit everyone. They're smart guys, Lex."

"I never implied they weren't. But competition is the key to commerce and job creation, I myself have been working on a device that could boost output of current clean energy solutions by more than double but I'm afraid it may be null by the time they're finished. I can only hope that whatever they come up with creates more jobs than the current power system."
Of course those jobs would have to be tech level, which meant more engineers, which means getting more kids to become engineers. Lex did care, but he knew it started at the bottom.

"There are other things in the world than just energy," Megan said carefully.

"True" he raised his eyebrow "You're absolutely correct." He wondered if Veidt was messing around with genetics again. Stark was transparent, though his suit was a thing of interest Lex had no need of his schematics.
