As they walked up to the hut, Lex got his first look at this Trip Tucker. The first impression was of one of the Smallville football players in 15 years. He certainly had that classic American look and the accent certainly didn't help, though it was slightly off from the Atlantian accent of Walter de Courcey. Granted, that didn't mean anything since the Walter from Anatoly's version and Trumper and Florence's version could be from different areas of the south east.

But there was a genuine openess about this man that the FBI agent lacked, even at his most charming.

Still not ready to draw a firm conclusion either way, Lex held out his hand when they got closer, doing his best not to make a face when shaking a sweat and sand covered hand. "Lex Luthor. I mentioned I'd seen you moving in earlier and Anatoly said he knew you and that we should meet, as we're practically neighbors."
