Lex smoothly strode into the center of Justice League operations -- the Watchtower -- with impunity and cool self-assurance.
He smiled to himself as he navigated the central area, currently-deserted of the usual assortment of heroic foes, and ascended the smooth and rather high-tech looking metal-and-plastic staircase to the medical level above.
Then he swung a quick right into the living area for the League's resident medical doctor who, as luck (or, rather, planning) would have it, was in fact currently in residence at the moment. Imagine that

Emil blinked up at him. "Oh." He blinked a few more times. "Um, well. That's really not necessary. I would never hurt her--"
"Of course not," Lex smiled breezily.
"And I really don't think you'd have to worry about finding a shovel to hit me with--" Emil said, relaxing a little and starting to gather steam.
"Hmm?" Lex interrupted oh-so-innocently.
Emil stumbled to a halt and looked horribly uncertain.
"Ah, isn't a shovel talk when someone says--"
"--that when I was done with you the authorities would never find where your body was buried, or remains otherwise disposed?" Lex ended, talking with as pleasant a tone as if they were discussing the weather (sans tornadoes, as that topic generally required cussing across the region, he was well-aware).
"...Done with me?" Emil said, shrinking into his chair.
"Oh, yes," Lex confirmed, then waited a beat. "Eventually."
"...Eventually?!?" Emil was back to squeaking again.
"Ah, it seems I was right. I do have to give further explanation, don't I?" Lex smiled as he walked back to the

"What did you do," Clark glowered at him later that night.
Lex attempted to look innocent. He was pretty sure he failed miserably, but only because he was able to keep a straight face for thirty seconds before laughing so hard that he nearly had trouble breathing. Good thing he had started out on the couch.
"Lex! This isn't funny!"
"It.. it kind of is..." Lex half-babbled, wiping tears from his eyes.
"I've never seen Tess so mad!"
Oh, Lex had known it was going to get back to her in all the wrong ways. Going after her lover like that and giving him a good scare would either scare him off or have him stick around even harder. Either way, Lex would get a better read on Emil, Emil would get a better understanding of himself (he was not a stupid man by anyone's accounts), and Tess would have an emotional and mental double-handful of a mess on her hands to deal with. That'd teach her to mess with him and his own love affairs like a shot across the bow -- keep her nose out of his personal life, or he'd repay her in like kind and full

LOL. Yay! for Lex getting his revenge. Although I kind of wish we'd actually seen Tess's reaction. And, I love that Clark realised his mistake with the promise. Hee. Loved it :D.

*g* When Lex wins, he wins hard! *nods*
Ah, well, it is supposed to be Clex-intensive, and I felt like I was pushing the boundary a bit with 1/4 really being Clex interaction ^_^;; Maybe in a flashback in the future? --Though I get the feeling that CLark and Emil may disagree with you there! *lol*
