This time when Lex went out for a round of battling creatures he was much better protected. He had worn body armor under his clothes and as he was the team's driver the truck was his primary concern over the fog. He's sporting a few minor injuries but nothing serious, at least nothing serious unless you count the snakebite on his left hand between thumb and forefinger. None of his other team members had died from bites they sustained and coupled with his immunity he sees no reason to be worried. It stung when it happened and now he has a battle scar for the moment. It couldn't hurt to gain favor around the city.

He heads straight for the section of the house designated as the shared research lab between he and Adrian and lays his prize in front of him on a steel table.

"Agreed," Adrian replies, smiling slightly as he realizes that they do seem to be looking at things along the same lines after all. "And in fact I'd prefer any ventures I took part in, aside from the job I already have established, to be backed solely by myself. Or by myself and a single partner."

He raises his glass in a salute toward Lex, clearly suggesting who that partner would be. "Veidt Enterprises has done some real estate investing as well, although that isn't our central focus. Do you have some ideas in that direction?"

Lex raises his glass in return, smiling with instant acceptance. "I'd advise looking toward business districts than residential myself. Also we should take a look as to tends in what the government buys, and where. I would need to see if eminent domain works the same way here as it does back home, but either way, it's a certain paycheck."

The day has turned into a rather exciting one with both discovery and a new business plan in the works. It's refreshing to see the other man just as on board.
