Superman: Batman, I know it was you!

Batman: What are you upset about now, Superman?

Superman: My packed lunch in the Watchtower fridge, it’s gone missing again! That’s the third time this week!

Batman: What makes you think I’d want your lunch? I have my own.

Superman: Because mine included Alfred’s special white chocolate cookies with cranberries! You’re just bitter he didn’t pack any in yours.

Batman: …Irrelevant.

Superman: You know what? I’m checking the CCTV footage.

Batman:

Superman: There are missing minutes in the footage!

Batman: Hm. Perhaps the food thief is also a hacker. Clearly a security threat. They must be found.

Cyborg: Hey, don’t look at me. I didn’t touch your food.

Batman: Curious. I’ll open an investigation. Leave this to me, Superman. [flourishes cape and walks away dramatically]

Cyborg: Uh… want some of mine, Superman? We can share.

Superman: It’s okay, Cyborg. I’ve already eaten.

Superman: [texting Alfred] Mission accomplished! Bruce ate the lunch out of sheer gleeful vindictiveness.

By the way, I am absolutely convinced that manipulation through reverse psychology works flawlessly on Vox. And I just don't understand how Vox himself hasn't figured it out yet, given that Alastor is literally constantly manipulating through reverse psychology. I can give you a million examples because Alastor does this all the time, but most of all I remember:

And like it's so stupid oh my God AHAHAHA

It's like really basic reverse psychology Alastor: You can't do it blah blah blah Vox: I can do it!! Just watch Alastor.

He so stupid haha

I don't know if anyone would be interested in hearing this, but I have a probably hilarious Bowuigi idea that deals with reverse psychology.

Okay, so imagine with me a time where Luigi and Bowser just started dating and Luigi shortly thereafter (probably like a few days later) tells Mario that he and Bowser are dating. While I feel like Mario would go big brother protective mode on Luigi, Mario eventually tells Luigi that he'll give Bowser the benefit of the doubt, but also tells Luigi that if Bowser hurts him in anyway, he (Mario) will give Bowser hell.

However, after his conversation with Luigi (probably a few hours later or something), Mario would march over to Bowser's Castle and demand the minions to see Bowser. Once Mario and Bowser are face-to-face in Bowser's throne room, Mario would interrogate Bowser about what Luigi said to Mario (i.e., "Is it true that you and Luigi dating?", "How long has this been going on?", etc.). After asking a lot of questions, Mario would get quiet for a little bit and then would tell Bowser that he does not approve of his and Luigi's relationship. Now if Mario was completely honest, he wasn't sure how Bowser was going to react upon hearing his disapproval, but shocked couldn't even describe how Mario felt as soon as he hears Bowser say this specific line:

"Good. I wasn't planning on dating your brother for very long anyway."

Now, the throne room was completely fucking quiet after Bowser's statement. Hell, it was so quiet that if one were to listen closely, they could probably hear the sound of nearby Koopa Paratroopas flapping their wings or even the soft sound of minions walking outside the throne room.

But Mario quickly breaks the silence with these two sentences:

"The fuck do you mean 'you're not planning on dating Luigi for very long'?!"

"What, you think you're too good for my little brother?!"

These two sentences were just the beginning of Mario's rant as he started to go fucking off on Bowser. Bowser, being Bowser, just has this uninterested/bored expression on his face as Mario continues to go off on the Koopa King (but he now switches between speaking English and Italian). Eventually (don't know how so bear with me), Mario tells (no, pretty much orders) Bowser that he (Bowser) will continue to date Luigi until the day that either Bowser or Luigi dies. (Note that Mario's goal is to make Bowser see that Luigi is so much more than meets the eye.) Before Bowser can have a chance to give Mario a response, Mario storms out the throne while saying a few more curse words in Italian.

But the moment Mario leaves the throne room, Bowser's bored expression is instantly replaced with a big smug smirk.
