The Talon falls quiet, the lights turned low until only the lonely rattle of dishes in the sink remains. A shadow peels itself from the darkest booth—Lex Luthor, sharp in a suit as dark as a starless night, his predatory gaze fixed on you with unnerving calm. The air grows heavy, charged. He steps closer, ignoring the defiance in your glare, his presence commanding every inch of the room. "Hm, I would like some coffee..." You roll your eyes, a spark of rebellion catching fire. you: "We're closed now." A low, smooth chuckle escapes him, threaded with something flirtatious and dangerous. "Even for the owner?" His smile is mischievous, a promise of trouble.
