Summary: Lex Luthor contemplates his condition.
When Lex Luthor stole those forty cakes, how could he know they had been bugged? How could he know someone had put listening devices in them? Superman had caught him and put him here. Lex hated Superman.
Lex suspected Batman had given Superman the bugs. Lex hated Batman too.
Lex's mattress was also bugged. His mattress had many small insects in it.
Lex hit the mattress with his fist. "I am so bugged!" he said. "I am so annoyed!"
Lex's cell-mate, Bluto, looked at him. "Did you say you were buggered?" he asked. "Did you say you were--"
"--No, no. I did not," said Lex hastily. He said it quickly, so he would not hear the end of Bluto's sentence.
Lex hated being in jail. He hated being in places with bars on the windows and doors.

Thank you so much! How did you know that Superdictionary fic was on my birthday wish list? Especially Superdictionary fic with some Superman/Batman in it!
This story is slashy if you squint. This story contains hot man-love if you look at it a different way.
And what do you mean you're not as good at writing humor?! You write the story about Clark getting turned in to a puppy, which remains one of my favorite things ever.
*hugs* Thanks again! This was delightful!

*many hugs*
I hope your birthday was the most wonderful so far, but not the most wonderful you will ever have!
(Also, I wish there were some Booster and Beetle in the Superdictionary! Wouldn't they perfect for it? I might have to encourage you to compose some Superdictionary fic for either the hapless Hal Jordan or the dogged El Dragon sometime...) :)
