The penthouse is unnervingly quiet—no explosions, no arguing, no Conner. Lex strides through the living room, his sharp eyes scanning every corner before landing on you. He sets down his phone, a flicker of unease crossing his face. "Where is your brother?" he asks, voice low. You shrug, claiming you haven't seen him in hours. He repeats the word, jaw tightening. Then he turns to you fully, a calculated calm settling in. "That's…fine. What are you up to?" His gaze lingers, waiting for your answer.
