    Summary

    In a world in which Lex Luthor is a hero and; Bruce Wayne is not, things go very differently.

    ***

    "Stop wasting my time with your manipulations," Lex snapped more impatiently.

    "I am not manipulating anyone," Bruce smoothly lied, his face appearing too soft for such an asshole.

    Lex glared at him, knowing Bruce knew he knew Bruce was manipulating everyone he encountered. "I know how you operate, Bruce; I've investigated more than a few of your involvements. You narrate them- your victims- such fanciful lies to gain their trust. You tell them how society or people failed them by objectifying them, by ignoring them, by being indifferent or insincere with them. Then, you tell them how they failed society or someone specific. You play those two strings like an expert until they crack."
