" well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes. "
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā contrary to what the daily planet used to publish about him, Lex Luthor had accepted his mortality ages ago. what he had really taken umbrage with was superman's mortality, or more accurately, his apparent lack of one. for so many years, he watched himself get older and older while the alien simply... didn't. imagine the immensity of his relief when superman finally started showing a little gray, confirming that he can, in fact, age. and what can age, can die.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā unless you're a specific species of jellyfish, but despite what his appearance may suggest, superman's biology is slightly more complex than that of hydrozoans.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Lex had never really contemplated what someone like wonder woman 'should' look like in the year 2XXX. mercy was aging like the finest of wines, but she was aging; diana, on the other hand, looked exactly as she did the day she introduced herself to man's world. it's... well, it's kind of creeping him out. something that purports to be made of clay should theoretically share its properties, and clay erodes and discolors over time.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā so how much time needs to pass until wonder woman does the same?
" my wife would literally kill to know your skincare routine, " Lex remarks sarcastically, letting @am4zon know he's still his same charming self even after all these years. he's unsure how much superman's told her about his situation, if he's even told her anything at all, but one doesn't need microscopic vision to see how unwell he isābesides, it's not like this is diana's first time seeing a dying man.
