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 door and quietly closed it.

And then he turned back to face Emil and proceeded to explain.

Lex was a Luthor, through and through.

And as such, he had enough self-control that when he was done explaining the way of things to Emil, in great detail and at length (and goodness, the rumors were true! -- the man was fully capable of imagining exactly what those sorts of things would be like to a person; sometimes a good imagination really was not a helpful thing, Lex grinned at the thought), he walked out of the Watchtower, took the elevator down, walked back to the LexCorp Towers, took the elevator back up to the penthouse, and made it into the penthouse living room where there were no bugs or listening devices of any kind, before collapsing onto a chair and bursting out laughing.

Revenge was so sweet.
