Bruce should be outraged.

No matter what the answer in his heart is, he should be angry.

Lex Luthor doesn't respect him.Luther didn't think he deserved respect.The other party did not stare at him as equal, Luthor acted as if he was an unskilled opportunist, as if his... relationship with Lucas was just a transaction.As if he was a jester under that throne.

Bruce should have been angry.He was so tired, so restless.He once told Lucas that he had stepped out of another shadow caused by himself. This is not a lie, but the shadow is gone, but the influence is still there.He is still eager to prove himself, eager to 'be useful'.

That's why he lost his composure tonight.And he could have lost his temper even more.

But under Lex Luthor's rhetorical question, he suddenly woke up from the chaos caused by exhaustion.Bruce felt goosebumps all over his body. He looked at the very serious Luther in astonishment—the moment he realized that the other party really thought so, and really felt that he couldn't have true feelings for Lucas... Bruce felt the creeps.

The reason for his creepiness was beyond Luthor's guesswork.Lex had never in his life truly, wholeheartedly, unrequitedly loved someone.His original family made him never demanding this, and Dr. Luthor's greatest passion is all dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and truth.

He couldn't understand Bruce's feelings for Lucas at all, even if Bruce was really willing to tell him everything, he couldn't understand.

But that's not what's creepy about Bruce.He just glimpsed the views of those 'ordinary people' in Luthor - those who only knew that he and Lucas were together, didn't know much about the views of the two of them.

This made Mr. Wayne feel stunned, and even a little confused: If Luther, as wise as Luther, thought that he only accepted Lucas' confession because the timing was just right, then Lucas' other relatives and friends, even Lucas himself... do they know what he's thinking?

This is a frightening topic.Bruce couldn't help but be a little shaken—he suddenly realized that he really didn't seem to have given much thought to why he accepted Lucas' confession.

He also seems to have been restraining himself from thinking and researching.Because he was really happy when they were together, and it was kind of weird, like being back in school.

Bruce wishes their relationship could be simpler, simpler.He refuses to see it as some kind of quid pro quo, he refuses to realize that he may have accepted Lucas' affections because he thought it was 'best of all'.It would make him feel stupid and disgusting - which was fine, but he couldn't help but feel self-loathing when it was Lucas who was 'in his favor'.

...but if not, then why?Bruce clenched his fists, savoring his complicated mood, and scenes flashed through his mind.

Did he really fall in love with Lucas? ...it's funny just thinking about it that way.he?He Bruce Wayne? …no, not really.He was really fascinated by Lucas, this powerful, dark, vulnerable young man who was always special to him.

How could he not be fascinated by it?Can anyone say 'go away' when a beautiful and fierce beast willingly curls up beside you? ...he likes this feeling.He likes the feeling of being looked at differently by Lucas and cherished by Lucas.

But if this is 'love', then love is too cheap.Bruce knows his own charm, he has never lacked the experience of being loved, and he is also kind to those who once loved him.He'd dated the lucky ones too...but no, no.Lucas is special, Lucas-

Bruce felt strangely angry.After thinking about it he seemed to have to admit that he had said yes to Lucas because it was 'a good fit' - but he knew, and he knew that wasn't the case.

"Maybe it's because you've lived alone for too long, so you simply forgot the boundary of prying into other people's privacy." Bruce's expression was rarely so aggressive. "I have to admit that you have overwhelmed me with your question. I couldn't think of how to make this matter clear without revealing my privacy."

"But I don't think I need to be so troubled. After all, this is a private matter between me and him, and I don't have to explain it to you or anyone at all."

Wow.

The self in Lex's heart gave a soft praise.If the atmosphere wasn't so tense at this moment, he could still control his hands, and Luthor almost wanted to applaud little Wayne's reaction.

It was only at this time that Lex finally looked at the young man in front of him.He really didn't take Bruce very seriously - he didn't even take Lucas very seriously at first.

The opponent's tough attitude won a little bit of respect from Lex.And that's a good thing, after all, if Bruce Wayne is really an ass, he wouldn't be able to entrust his skills to such a person.

Lex blinked.He smiled playfully again.

"Maybe I will make you more angry by saying this, but Mr. Wayne, I really mean nothing."

"I don't like Superman, I don't like everything beyond my control. I used to regard him as the biggest variable before, but now it seems that he is the one who makes people worry... and yours, hehe. "

Bruce frowned.He'd just been wondering just how far Luther 'understood'.But after hearing this sentence, he relaxed slightly.

Luther probably didn't know that Lucas was also a time traveler.He didn't know that the wild beast in his heart actually had a heart.

This made Master Wayne let go of his eyebrows a little.He rarely frowned like that—too seldom.Bruce finally calmed down completely, demeanor and reserve returned to his face, Bruce shook his head:

"I don't deserve to give you any opinions. But considering that we are facing this now, you have already offended me...Dr. Luthor. I think your thinking is very problematic."

"I'm not exactly an optimist, but I would say that if you only focus on Superman and Lucas, that's really allowing the runaway."

"You are also very clear that our goals are the same. Whether it is the current matter or-"

Bruce's words drew Lex's sneer again.But this time the old man was not as harsh as before.Luther laughed twice, his eyes seemed to be looking at some very interesting creature:

"Why do you think what he said is true? Why do you choose to believe him?"

"You're not a fool, Wayne. You're just deluded."

These few words are not as malicious as they were at first.But Bruce was still provoked into anger.His icy blue eyes stabbed at the person behind the screen. Luther was surprised by his reaction, but he was still smiling:

"I thought you were a fool at first, Mr. Wayne," Lex's tone was quite gentle, but the words he said were still unpleasant. "And then you show me that you're not an idiot, or, you're an idiot with a lot of backbone. It's interesting,"

"But I've been figuring out your attitude, and I always feel... You're probably very similar to me."

Bruce froze for a moment.He had never expected Luthor to say something like that—it was almost a compliment—but then Luthor turned the wheelchair and drove away from the screen.

This is simply inexplicable.Bruce really wanted to ask Dr. Luthor why he said this...but this time the old bald man didn't mean to whet his appetite:

"This is also very interesting. You know?" His voice was a certain distance from the screen, and it seemed very ethereal. "I feel that you are actually an annoying person with a strong desire to control, just like me. This is what I guessed from your attitude, and it doesn't matter if I guess wrong."

Bruce didn't expect Luthor to mean 'like' like here.He felt a sudden embarrassment.This made Master Wayne put on his defensive expression again.

He is indeed a very controlling person.Although he tries to hide it as much as possible, Alfred often complains aloud about his 'delicacy'... he is indeed a manipulative man, and since that night of childhood, he has been avoiding 'plans' Outside''Accident''Suddenly''.

...but in nearly two months.He can't count how many surprises he has encountered, and how many unexpected events he has created on his own initiative.

This embarrassed Bruce.Fortunately, he controlled it properly, otherwise Luthor would find that he blushed for no reason when he turned around... It was indeed very strange.Bruce was even a little dazed for a moment.

——Why is this happening?

...He seems to have been creating all kinds of 'accidents' recently... If he completely abandons self-deception, he must admit that his 'fascination' for Lucas is actually crazy.

...Mr. Little Wayne didn't know that he had been hinted by the devil.He could understand all this development only in his own way.He is a little shy.Because the reason he didn't want to think deeply about, that made him accept Lucas almost at any cost resurfaced in his mind.

—he became obsessed with Lucas' obsession with him.

—Lucas likes him.Lucas liked Bruce, not 'Little Wayne', not even 'Bruce Wayne'... Lucas liked him.He doesn't have to doubt anything, he doesn't have to worry about anything.He doesn't have to compare with anyone, he is loved just because the other person loves him.

A better, simply great Thomas Wayne?No.no.

Stronger, even Batman of Gotham Heroes?No.wrong.

All Lucas likes is him.

——This made Bruce very satisfied.He was almost never loved without all auras.Even if there is a more special 'self', Lucas still only likes him.

——This kind of complete, safe, wonderful sense of control... Bruce couldn't help but be fascinated by it.
