Bond of Justice: Power Girl and Riku

Arco's eyes focused on the shadowy figure of Lex Luthor standing at the doorway. His muscled arms folded across his chest and his hair neatly combed with a hint of grey. There was something different about him, but Arco couldn't quite place what it was.

He walked down the stairs of his hideout towards the man who had been his greatest enemy for years now. "Mr. Luthor," he greeted politely, nodding his head slightly. He had been aware of Luthor's presence ever since he had received Eliza's letter warning him of Luthor's plan to steal his blood.

Luthor stared at him for a moment before speaking up, "Arco." He then took a step closer and reached for his necktie - unbuttoning it and pulling it away from his shirt collar. "I'm afraid I've gotten used to calling you by your name now," he said smugly as he tossed Arco's tie aside, "and I don't think I'll be referring to you as 'Mr.' anymore." His hands went to his shirt buttons but not before he made sure that Arco could see them.

Arco looked away from the scarred torso that was revealed as Lex undressed himself before continuing on with his original plan. He immediately got down on one knee and reached for the side pouch of his belt where he kept Riku's vial hidden. He grabbed it and quickly unscrewed the lid before holding the vial up in front of him, just enough so that only he could see it while Lex continued undressing himself behind him.

"Oh, is that where you keep my little experiment?" Lex sounded amused as he stripped off the last piece of clothing covering him except for his briefs which were still at half-mast as he stepped forward to stand right next to Arco who was still kneeling down with the vial in both hands stretched outward in front of him like an offering without looking away from it or even raising his head at all. "Well why don't we have a look at her?"
