Obviously, Mikhail didn't know Lex as well as he thought he did, or he might have figured out that Lex was not all that concerned for his staff, and if Mikhail did kill them, Lex would have a new staff as soon as the bodies were cleared. He couldn't have a new Venom, but Venom was powerful too. Chloe had a feeling that he would make it out of here alive, if anyone did.
She didn't show fear as she walked down the hall to meet him, being a Luthor had taught her a few things. Not that Chloe had shown much fear in most situations when she was not a Luthor, but right now she could much more easily repress feelings than she'd been able to when she was just Chloe Sullivan. She was a lot calmer these days too, or at least she appeared to be. But if someone threatened her children she became more like a big mama lioness that was hungry and ready to rip into anyone who messed with them.
"Oh Mikhail, you don't honestly think Lex will care if any of these people die, right?" Chloe asked, with more confidence than she should have possessed. She had changed a lot from the girl that Mikhail had once known. "He goes through security teams at least twice a week." That was a bit of an exaggeration, but that was what it seemed like. "These people don't matter to Lex." She pointed out. Well, Venom mattered but Chloe wasn't about to draw any attention to that.
Now she was standing just inches away from Mikhail. He looked different to her, harder. He'd obviously been through a lot, and Chloe was not without sympathy for that, especially because of what Lex had done to her mother and so many other people. Chloe was not against the fact that Lex had to pay for what he'd done, but Mikhail wasn't going about this the right way. And Chloe had softened somewhat towards Lex since the kids had been born, so she was worried about how much damage Mikhail could do.
He'd made it obvious in his post that his primary target was Lex, but that didn't mean that Clark and Chloe were going to get away free, either. This was going to get ugly, but Chloe was not showing any of that to Mikhail right now.
"So why don't you let these people go and we can go talk about this somewhere a little more private."
