When his mind settles to the point where he's willing to listen, Adrian will be glad for Lex's explanation, and he'll be impressed by the man's willingness to go out and risk his life for people he doesn't know. Not that he doesn't think it's a quality Lex possesses, but if it was a common quality then the world wouldn't be in need of superheroes.
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm not angry with anyone." Not really, or at least he's not so much angry at Lex as just uncertain about the situation and about taking up a role he'd deliberately set aside years ago. So his next words are calmer, more centered, as he adjusts the mask over his eyes. "I agree, Mr. Luthor. And since you've been out there already, I'll follow your lead as to where you think the best area to begin would be. I only ask that when you see me like this, you don't address me by my given name."
