Lex did not mention to Serene or Leon that Liz had fused with a Sovereign, or that Moon was fusing with a realm. It did not seem to matter, since they were trying to distance themselves from the kids anyway. Moreover, since Serene wanted to protect Moon by keeping her secret, then Lex should do the same.
It seemed that… they had more or less run out of things to talk about. Serene and Leon had shared their side of the story. Perhaps they were hoping that after sharing it, the connection between them could be rekindled. Unfortunately, Lex had moved on a long time ago. Sure, there had been some lingering resentment, but that was all.
Now that resentment may have faded, but it was not replaced by fondness or closeness. They had their mission, their goal to save humanity, and Lex, quite frankly, couldn't be bothered to care about humanity too much.
The silence between them lasted for a few seconds, and just as Lex was about to get up, Serene sighed.
