Andrea was seeing how much she weighed now, reluctantly and she was now lifting her eyebrows at the weight that was on the scale in front of her.

"Remind me how tall you are again?" She spun around and threw the first thing that she could see, which happened to be her full water bottle, directly at Lex.

He barely ducked in time, as the water splattered everywhere. "Whoops." Andrea said awkwardly, seeing that he was soaking wet and dripping from head to toe in water.

"Well, at least I know that you haven't lost your throwing arm." Lex said as he grabbed a towel from a bunch on the wall as he was drying his head off. "Didn't mean to scare you." He noted.

"Nobody ever does." Andrea pointed out as she was briefly stepping off of the scale. "5' 6 to answer your question." She said and she was wincing. "I was in the centre-field for the Smallville high softball team." She said and Lex nodded.

"That explanation would track. Is there a reason, that you are always here?" Lex was looking around at the gym. "I mean, other than the fact that it is the only room in the house without windows."

"Lex, you already know why." Andrea replied as she hopped back onto the scale and she was waiting for the result. "Huh, I guess that I have put on more muscle." She noted and she swiftly took a picture of the scale with the camera around her neck and she was hopping off the scale swiftly putting it onto the countertop.

Andrea was hopping up and grabbing onto the pull-up bar, as she was starting up again as Lex sighed. "I am hosting Lana's birthday party here." He said as she was continuing to exercise. "I could use somebody else who has experience with a town full of high-schoolers at a party." Lex stated and she was focused on her exercising. "Hey, are you even listening to me?" He asked and she dropped down to look at him.

"You wanted me to be at the party, because you do not want to have to deal with almost an entire town full of teenagers in the house on your own. It's Lana's birthday party and Nell is making it almost all about herself." At the words, Lex's eyes widened swiftly at the words.

"How is it, that you are able to perfectly recall everything that I just said?" Lex asked and she looked at him, before she shrugged at the words.

"I'm just about an expert in acting now like I'm not paying attention, but actually, I often hear everything that is being said." Andrea replied with a small smirk on her face as he was nodding.

"All right." Lex said with a smile and she was grabbing her own towel quickly and she was grabbing another bottle of water quickly. "Did you ever consider that you should get yourself tested?" He asked and she looked over at him.

"For what, exactly?" Andrea asked and Lex was shrugging his shoulders. "What are you insinuating?" She asked and he sighed.

"You seem to have laser-like focus, when you are doing things that you enjoy like you on a computer. Or your weapons training, as you kick my ass in fencing. But when you are doing stuff like exercising, you can suddenly recall all sorts of things." Lex pointed out and Andrea was looking at him with a brief moment of silence.

"I have already been clinically diagnosed with ADHD, Lex, you don't have to rub it in more." Andrea replied as he looked surprised at her rather quick and surprised swiftness to admit it to him. "I'm not medicated by choice." She said as she was moving over to a mat, where she was going to start her situps.
