"Lex… Lex, wake up!" he heard a vague distant sound as he roused from slumber. Confusion filled Lex's foggy mind as he yawned, drowning out Mary's voice once more. He looked around, and for a moment didn't recognize his surroundings. This didn't look like his bedroom.
"Lex, wake up. The emperor has been waiting for hours!" Mary said once more, and Lex's mind suddenly snapped, recalling what had happened. He had entered the Hot tub to rest and recover a bit after his exertion from reading the governor's letter, but he must have fallen asleep at some point.
The unusual thing was that even after that long nap, he felt tired and drained. He made a mental note to avoid anything dangerous until he completely recovered, but then teleported to his room and quickly started suiting up.
"Sorry about that," Lex said. "I was more tired than I actually expected."
