Among the talking and chatting an older, statuesque man asked him a question. Was he daft? There had been more than a good share of dark haired women, but not many that fit that description. Scanning around he motioned to a shorter dark haired woman with blunt cut bangs and an ivory and black dress. "Her?" He responded. "You may have to define looks that kill a bit better, friend." He laughed, before clapping him on the back and going in search of another flute of wine.
It wasn't long before he closed the distance to the dark haired woman two flutes of bubbly in hand. Offering one to her he would extend his hand to hers also with a greeting. "I noticed you across the room. My name is Marc. And you?" A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he awaited her response.

Luthor wore black, no tie today, he was feeling somewhat monochromatic and he wasn't quite megalomaniacal enough to do the themed outfit thing that some might do. A part of him debated wearing a purple jacket and an ascot for eccentricity sake, as one of the richest men in America, he found room for a number of eccentricities that helped him when he just got bored with the social scene. Part of him loved making the appearances and basking in the glow of socialization. Part of him enjoyed the business of investment and playing the game of social engineering, but as of right now his mind was on other things. The experiment in Louisiana was about to reach stage four, the new find in New Mexico had been secured by ARGUS. The prototype for the Direct Observation Occupational Module was vested and finished final stage planning, the new GATEWAY pain repressor was now entering human testing phases, and the Material Response Experiments of Dr. Magnus had . . . surprising results. In some ways what he'd seen earlier in the month in Metropolis at the Material Response labs would redefine everything. . . material construction, medicine, the Protean Gap . . . no, these were the things that occupied Lex Luthor's mind as he stepped off the helicopter and moved through security quickly. His people had made arrangements before he landed, wealth and influence were merely the extraneous effects of the game that Luthor played with the world, but he admitted they were convenient on occasion. Through the doors, approaching, LexCorp Security guards walking with him to help with the security situation, Dent was on the rise again, and frankly it was getting to be a bother. Something would need to be done. Two guards walking in, then Lex strode into the room, leaving LexCorp security to coordinate with the Hill's security organization. A glance over the room, names coming to his mind quickly, information. Diana of Themyscira. . . that was interesting. But first thing's first, prioritization. He made eye contact with Barbara Gordon, then nodded once. She'd done well, and it really should be supported. He was actually more and more surprised with her competence in the first days of her internship. . . it was originally going to be a political assignment to gain a bit more support with the police, coupled with his interest in the few papers of hers that he had pass his desk quickly, marked by his forward observers. Already he knew she was more than a political appointment, he'd have a job for her if she wanted it, she was marked quickly by Lex for her potential, she was smart, athletic, tenacious, exactly the qualities that Lex admired most, and while she hadn't fully proven herself yet, Lex trusted his judgement. He'd get her the security clearances and have her intern under himself, Sivana and Ms. Head directly. He approached Ms. Kyle first, however. Moving towards her and Piper. " Miss Kyle, radiant as ever. And Detective Bullock. Wonderful to see you again, have you been keeping up with new events in New Mexico? I think you'd find it interesting." He turns to Piper for a moment, as gracious as ever " And Ms. Hill, we haven't been formally introduced. I'm Lex Luthor. I appreciate you inviting me to your soiree. I brought a gift for your brother, it should be delivered shortly. I've heard you put this entire event together, it's really quite lovely. You've quite the future ahead of you, I'm certain."

Diana whispered back into Selina's ear before she pulled away, "I'm always willing to help a woman out, you know that," she said as Selina pointed out the blonde. She saw her and filed her away as someone she would make sure to say hello to later in the evening before her eyes were back on Selina moving on to introduce Detective Bullock.
The look in Selina's eyes stated that they were more then friends but what beyond that was still up for debate. "Detective Bullock," she said reaching out to shake his hand. "It's good to meet you," she said giving him a firm but, for her, gentle shake of hands. "I always enjoy meeting the people that are on the front line of law enforcement. The people that make what I do, mean something," she explained.

Harvey looked at Lex Luthor and then the amazonian he couldn't help but adore. She had something in her Harvey couldn't help but feel drawn to. However, at her words of what she did Harvey gained a grimace momentarily before he cleared it up.
"I have mixed feelings about that."
Batman smoke bombs my house. Fucking troll. No one ever believes me about all his troll shit he pulls on me.
Harvey thought about all the times Batman had stopped over at his place to pretty much do what felt like berating and mocking him. Sometimes when he had to make a quick escape, for whatever reason, he always felt it necessary to throw a batarang at at the light main source of light, and overhead lamp Harvey adored. He always took it out all the way down tot he base of the bulb so Harvey would have to go shut off the breakers and grab a set of plyers to loosen it from the socket.
Other than Batman's trollery he still had mixed feelings otherwise. She may have been a bad ass amazon, but she didn't have all the rules by which to operate that he did. He thought the comment a slight bit vain, but he wasn't going to give her too much trouble for it. She did not mean it with any ill irony.
"Nevertheless, it is still an honor to meet you, Lady Diana, you're highness?? I don't know what I should call you..."
Harvey didn't really think of her as a princess, more like a knight or something along those lines.
He then turned his attention to Lex and looked at him skeptically, exiting gentlemanish mode at the drop of a hat.
"New Mexico? What's up in New Mexico?"
Harvey never knew what to make of Mr. Luthor. He wanted to like him, but something about him just made Harvey a little uneasy. He always looked too at peace for him.

As usual, she was instantly introduced to the handful of individuals that surrounded her father. The young redhead recognized each of them instantly, a warm smile lighting up her face as she extended her hand to properly introduce herself to each of them. Her bright blue eyes looked up at the only woman who seemed to be in the surrounding, identifying her as the club owner of the newest establishment in town. “I'm not sure we have been properly introduced. It’s nice to meet you.” The eighteen year old beauty said in pairing with a rather firm handshake. After the proper greeting she turned to Mr. Elliot with the continued smile and reached to shake his hand as well. “I’m sorry, I don’t quite remember…but it is very nice to meet you as well.” When her hand returned to her side, she sent a disproving look in her father’s direction. Her new internship was a borderline obsession and her well-known employer seemed to be the star of her priorities anymore. “Dad….don’t start.” She said almost teasingly, though she continued to look hopefully toward the entrance for Lex to stroll through the door. Babs felt as though she had excelled at her opportunity thus far, she didn’t want to mess anything up now. It was that moment that her attention was seized by the breathtaking woman in white. The redhead tried not to stare, though she was sure her action was noticeable. With a bit of a blush, she shook her head briefly as if to pull herself back to reality. She recognized the woman as Diana of Themyscira and the woman was visually stunning. “I feel so underdressed.” Babs attempted lightly, though her gaze continued to shift toward Diana as if she could not control it. What had come over her? It wasn’t until Lex entered the ballroom did she find her head. Babs stood up a bit taller, chest out and a feeling of accomplishment overwhelmed her. While she was starting to fear that she had forgotten to properly confirm the arrangement in his schedule, he was simply fashionably late. She returned his simple not with a smile before turning away, blushing once more like a little school girl. Now that her worries had been soothed, she could turn her attention back to the flawless brunette on the other side of the room. Perhaps it was time to pay her dear Momma Bull a little visit – as soon as she could slip away without seeming rude. Babs is wearing thissss

Rooster smiled to Barbara as she was introduced. Rooster offered her hand and shook the girl's hand.
"Congrats, let me know if Lex gives you any trouble, I can straighten him out for ya."
Rooster, while she no longer valued Lex romantically, still very much valued him as a friend and accomplice. He was good to bounce ideas around with, at the very least. Her gaze fell on Gordon beside her for a moment and then back to Barbara.
"Nice to finally meet you, yer daddy talks about you nonstop when we run into each other. So your studies goin' well and all dat?"
The accent was thick, but she was a well educated woman despite the sound of her voice.
