Lexion was laying in a bed at his home, he was still injured. He did discover that being a freaking billionaire, the same rules for other didn't applie to him. For instance, he didn't want to stay at the hospital, usually doctor would say thing like, you can't leave because were monitoring your injuries. But with money came a whole bunch of options, like have your very own private team to monitor his injuries all in the comforts of his home.

He found he was really being spoiled in many ways, so he could easily see and understand how this type of life would affect anyone in a negative way. Having your every whim satisfied, would most definitely warp any normal person, if they didn't have any anchor in reallity. This was no doubt one of the many reasons why the person in the past became so twisted, even with all that intelligence he already had a warp sense of life, and nothing to hold him down to keep him grounded.

"Old me, you've really left me, with quite a mess to clean up."

He turn to the clock, she would be coming soon, he decided to act now. Be pro active in changing his public image, and she would be the best in helping with that. The fact that he would also be sending a message to his past greates foe, was a bonus not that the old him even knew about her.

Mercy walk in the room with a smile, for the past week she had expected Lex to drop the othe shoe on her. It never came, instead she was witness's to something she had never hope to see, a better boss, a better person a more patience and under standing Lex Luther. Hell she even got a raise and a new title, she was no longer just his driver or bodyguard, she was the now proud head of all security. That means she had a say in any project no matter how big or small it was, in essence she became his second in the company.  

"Sir, she here, should I have her be brought up now?"

"Yes, and how are thing on your end?"

"Thing are going smoothly for the most part, but we getting some resistance on the government side of thing, especially on the more secret defensive project we have with them."

As Mercy continued to debrief him on everything, she had signalled the security team in escorting their guest up. They continue to exchange news about the company, this was another thing that had surprise Mercy during this week. Not only did Lex ask her for her opinion, but in some places he would encourage her on finding her own answer for certain problems. Making it so that her role wasn't just a empty puppet for Lex to control, but an actual place for her to grown into her own not as his shadow but more like he was grooming her for bigger and better possibility.

As they were coming to the end of the debrief, there guest came in. She walk up in a confident stride, like she new she would be perfectly fine. Well she did have that right, she was Lois Lane the famous reported, and the current fiancés of superman. To the world at large she was practically untouchable, no one in their right mind would want to pist off, the man of steel. 

"Mercy lets pick this up later." Lexion turn to her and said, then he turn to Lois and gave her his best smile.

"Ms Lane, or should I say Ms superman, congratulation are in order I believe." 

Mercy gave a polite nod to both Lexion and Lois before leaving then. Lois for her part had a frown on her face, she did return Mercy nod but chooses to ingnore Lexion greeting. It was perfectly understandable, since he did in the past tried and failed to kill her fiancee, on multiple occasion, oh and lets not forget the fact that he tried on more that one time, seduce or drug her into his bed. To which he had at every time came very closes, into making superman kill him for his actions.

"Luther, im here as you have requested, just so we are clear he know were I am and he's not far away, so if you so much as raise your voice, I out of here."

Lois said as her piercing bleu eyes, shown with cleared determination. Clark had been very against her coming in the lion den, but at the same time, Luther had been making some odd moves over the last couple of days. As no amout of spying could shed light on what was going on, so when there was a invitation for Lois to come and have a private interview. Everyone except Clark was on board, he was ready to take Lois away so that she wouldn't go, until she calm him down and convinced him to let her do it.

"If you want, your boytoy, could come in from the window, it isn't lock, and the alarm have been turn off." He said as he smiled looking outside, were he was sure superman was looking. He move his hands up, to show he wasn't wearing any kryptonite. "I not wearing any kryptonite on me or in this room."

"Excuse me or him, for not jumping in here, considering are past expirience, I think will take are chances, and stay away just in cass this is another one of your ploys."

Lexion noded, he new he couldn't really push to fast or hard, his past had done allot of damage, it would take a long time to repair any bridge.

He release a sigh." I guest it only fair considering everything. Well then, first since superman is listening on are conversation, allow me to personally say, thank you superman for saving my life a week agos after my limo was destroyed by a rocket lancher."

Lois eyes went wide, this wasn't what any of then had expected, well everyone but the Flash, since in a joking tone he said maybe Lex wanted to thank then. The surprise didn't end their.

"I also want to let the justice leage know, Im going to retire from my supervillain life. After this incident, I've come to realise the folly of that path. I'm determine to change as a force for a more positive change, so in light of that I wanted to let the daily planet know of my change of heart. Of course i doubt you would take me at my word, which is why all of my previouse plans in destroying superman, have come to a stop, and will be converted into more productive projects."

"Mr Luther, you do realise that this isn't the first time you pull this out. In the past, you've use this exact excuse, the result was a week later you were firing a kryptonite laser beam at Superman at point blank range. Which it almost killed him, if it wasn't for Batman and the Flash rushing to his rescue. So forgive me for being a little septic on your sincerity, on renouncing your Villanise ways."

Lexion nodded, he then sigh, look back at Loise as they continued to exchange questions and answers. He continued defending his point of changing for the better, and present new innovation in place of the doom days plans he created for Superman.

Lois keep drilling him, she brought out all the dirt she had on him, she half expected him to shut her down. But instead he calmly in a most disturbing friendly way, answer all her question, and even clarified certain plans. Rendering the dirt she had on him almost like a sort of public cleaning, he himself accepting all the responsibility. The most stupefying thing was everything he admitted wasn't technically illegal, just morally wrong and here he was admiting his guilt. To which made her job easier but also harder as well, cause it was difficult to attack someone, who openly accepted his guilt compaire to one who denied it venomously. 

As the interview came to a closes Lexion ask if they could wrap it up. As he was getting tired, ever since his injurise he had a lot less energy.

Lois said her goodbyes and left in a much confuse and daze state, in a way this had been the best interview she ever had with Luther. But on the other hand she didn't know if she should be happy or terrified about all this.

A little further away on another building, stood a equally confuse Superman. He listen at all the interview, he felt conflicted on all this. 

"The whole time he didn't lie once, what the hell are you planing Luther."
