Batman moved so fast the camera didn’t even catch it; in an instant he had Luthor by his lapels and up against the wall of his office. “Do not ever presume that just because Superman and I don’t get along, you and I have anything in common.”
This!

“Well, my colleague Metallo runs on Kryptonite. If you promise to beat Superman until he quits, I’ll book Metallo against Kal-El every match until then, until he’s so weak he won’t be able to stand against you.”
Oh my gosh

“No deal,” and the boos collapsed into sighs of relief. “I’m not your lackey, and I don’t do your bidding,” Batman snarled.
Good!

“Okay,” Clark finally said. “But Batman doesn’t have to be evil for that, Bruce. The night isn’t more evil than the day. Shadows aren’t more evil than light. They’re just different.” He looked away from Bruce, blinking. “Besides,” he said in a small voice, “I hate hearing people boo you.”
Clark! I love him!

“It’s a shame, isn’t it?” said Dick Grayson just a few days later, echoing his mentor without knowing it as he did chin-ups in Wayne Manor’s basement gym. “Jean-Paul and I have never gotten along, but I wouldn’t wish an ACL injury on anyone.”
Dick is so sweet. <3

“Clark Kent suffers for our sins,” Dick intoned. “Luthor knows how much we all love him, so he punishes Clark to get at his annoying flock of bats.”
Steph threw her arms around Clark. “Well, we do love him.”
AWWW!

“Oh, but you will,” said Bruce.
“Of course I will,” grinned Clark. “As if I’m going to let you get away with your shameful behavior.”
These boys. :D

“Are all your dreams so kinky, Bruce? Share.”
:lol

“But in the meantime,” he said, “let me tell you more about this promo.”
“The one with you helplessly chained up at my mercy and me being all masterful and intimidating?”
“That’s the one,” Bruce said with satisfaction.
Sounds intriguing. :DD

Awesome chapter! Looking forward to seeing what happens next. :)

It was so nice writing Tim and Dick and Steph all being supportive of Clark! And fun to work some of the images from Dawn of Justice into it too, while making a little fun of them. :D Luthor gets to give his big speech from the movie next chapter!

We're fine! It was quite a ways south of here...but very alarming anyway! *hugs*
