Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

When Lucas appeared in front of everyone again, nothing strange could be seen.

"Lucas, here!" Connor greeted him warmly, "How are you resting?"

"It's okay." Lucas said softly, but there was still a hint of sadness between his eyebrows.

Connor blinked and handed over a sandwich, "Have some breakfast."

"Thank you." Lucas took it. He didn't feel hungry at all even though he hadn't eaten anything for a whole day, and he took small bites of food mechanically.

After a while, he looked at Connor dully, "Why are you still here?"

Connor opened his eyes wide, "Why can't I be here?"

Although there was almost no difference between staying with Lucas and staying with Kryptonite, Connor instinctively felt that Lucas needed company at this moment.

We are brothers, what does it matter if we get along more!

Connor sat next to Lucas as a matter of course and hugged his shoulders, "After all, I am homeless now. Brother, you won't leave me alone, right? Right? Right?"

Connor opened his big gray-blue eyes and launched a dog eye attack on Lucas.

It's a pity that Lang's heart is so stubborn that Lucas is completely unmoved, "After knowing that I am not from this world, will you continue to regard me as your brother?"

He didn't understand that even though they had the same bloodline, they were essentially different. Just like he didn't have similar emotions towards Damian, who also existed in this world.

Looking at the pair of blue eyes that looked very similar to Superman after taking off his glasses, Connor sighed slightly and scratched his head in embarrassment, "As expected, as Tim said, Lucas, you don't really understand people's hearts. "

I don’t understand people’s hearts?

"...Do you know why the Phantom Thieves are called the Phantom Thieves of the Heart?" Lucas didn't think so.

"Of course it's not like this." Connor said helplessly. He took Lucas into his arms and felt his muscles tighten subconsciously. "Although you understand the evil of human nature very well, you don't care about others." My kindness, especially toward you, is always very slow.”

Lucas said nothing.

"Everyone cares about you so much, so don't push others away." Connor complained, with a hint of envy in his tone. He has a group of like-minded friends, which he doesn't have yet. .

Lucas was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Where is everyone?"

"It's such a clumsy way to change the subject." Connor couldn't help but complained. Seeing Lucas's serious expression, he raised his hand resignedly, "Okay, okay, you didn't say you didn't want to be a member of the Phantom Thieves yesterday. Now that we are the group leader, then everyone has to elect a new group leader.”

Connor felt a bit toothache. Why didn't he think Lucas' character was so twisted before? It's not like Superman!

It wasn't until later, when Connor became more and more familiar with the Bat family, that he realized who Lucas looked like.

Lucas blinked, and finally a trace of curiosity emerged from the unspeakable emotions, "Who is it?"

"Would you like to guess who it is?" Connor smiled.

"Well...Gwen."

"Huh?!" Connor said dumbfounded, "Why did you guess it right all of a sudden?"

There was a smile on the corner of Lucas's mouth. He held his cheek with his right hand and said lazily, "Then let me guess again. Someone recommended Tim at first, but Tim refused. He recommended Gwen."

"You...you are at the scene, right? You are definitely there!"

Lucas sighed and said helplessly, "After being friends for so long, I still understand everyone more or less."

"Okay..." Connor puffed up his cheeks, "Gwen was quite nervous at that time and kept saying that she couldn't do it, but Tim said that she was careful and smart and understood everyone in the Phantom Thieves, so she was the most suitable one. She hesitated and agreed."

"I think so too, Gwen is very suitable." Lucas smiled slightly.

"Lucas!" Hope, who was standing on Mindy's shoulder, saw the two brothers leaning together and chatting intimately. His eyes lit up, and he fluttered his wings and flew into Lucas's arms.

"Hope, you've lost a lot of weight." Lucas looked down at Hope. Compared with his original roundness, Hope was now more well-proportioned.

"Oh, who knew so many things would happen in the past half month." Hope rubbed Lucas' fingers. He looked very disappointed, and the originally bright feathers seemed to dim.

"Seeing that everyone is working so hard, but I can't help at all, I feel like I am very useless..."

"That's not true. Hope is very powerful." Lucas raised Hope and looked at him. "He is an indispensable member of the Phantom Thieves."

"Ah!" Hope raised her wings to cover her face, "Don't say such disgusting words, Lucas!"

"But you've been saying this all the time." Mindy poked Hope's wing.

Then, she looked at Lucas, who had returned to his normal mood, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hmph, if Lucas is not the leader in the future, he won't be able to command us."

"I know." Lucas nodded without any regret and asked, "Where are the others?"

"Peter said that Metropolis is definitely in need of help now, and he has already gone out wearing Spider-Man's uniform. As for Gwen, who is still in the room worrying about the Phantom Thieves' next actions, Tim and Raven...well, they should go together Yeah, I don’t know very well,” Mindy said.

"I know what Tim and Raven are saying." Connor interrupted, "There is a mass funeral today. In order to commemorate the people who lost their lives in this disaster, the Wayne Group has established a foundation, and Tim needs to be present. , Raven, she should be feeling quite sorry."

"I wanted to go, but I have to meet someone later." Connor grabbed Lucas's sleeve with rare nervousness, "Brother, do you want to come with me?"

"who?"

"Superman."

Lucas slowly opened his eyes, "No, no need."

He refused subconsciously.

But Connor did not allow him to escape, and directly hung up on Lucas, "Why? Although we are both produced in the laboratory, we do have the same blood as Superman, so it doesn't matter if we meet, right?"

Lucas' body froze. In fact, it was not that he had never seen Superman before, he was even very familiar with him. Fighting with Superman was a common occurrence when fighting for the world.

That's all in the dark universe.

"At this point in time?"

Realizing that Lucas' attitude had softened, Connor also smiled.

"Now is the most appropriate time. Clark, um... Superman, and Lois want to meet us." Connor emphasized this us.

"You also mentioned me?" Lucas had a complicated mood.

"Of course." Connor looked seriously into Lucas's eyes, "Didn't I tell you before, we are brothers."

Lucas pursed his lips unconsciously. He wanted to accuse Connor of buying and selling by force and telling Superman about his existence without his consent, but Connor actually had no obligation to keep it a secret for him... Wait, he doesn’t know Tim? No, no, no, meeting Superman is still within the acceptable range. If it is that person, Lucas feels that he is not ready yet.

"Okay, let's go see him together," he said.

Connor smiled, happily.

He grabbed Lucas' hand and said, "When you take out the kryptonite, we will go to the sky and fly together."

As a Kryptonian, he is too lonely on this planet. The all-pervasive voice and extremely powerful power all show that he is unique.

In the past, Connor would not think about this, but since leaving Luther's protection, the malice of human nature has been revealed in front of this immature soul who was less than a year old.

Obviously he did a lot and ultimately saved Metropolis, but people who lost their families would still blame and abuse him for not doing enough.

"This is how the world is, welcome to the real world." Tim said.

"However, it is not easy to maintain an innocent heart. I hope you can continue." He said with some complexity, "Don't be like Lucas..."

In a roadside cafe, the disguised Clark was restless. He once again stuffed himself into a bloated old-fashioned suit, wore black-rimmed glasses, and looked at the watch on his hand from time to time.

"Relax, Clark." Lois next to him was much calmer, "Those are just two kids."

Clark touched his nose awkwardly and said in a muffled voice, "It's because they are children."

Luther is such a pervert!

Clark cursed in his mind.

Luthor's use of his and his own genes to create children is extremely perverted, but why would he instill the idea of ​​worshiping Superman in his children? They have cultivated clones and instilled them with memories, so is it difficult to make him worship Luther himself?

Clark has always felt that it was very possible for Luthor to create a group of cloned Superman to rule the earth for him.

If this is the case, Clark can at least treat his clones with a fair and objective attitude, instead of discovering that his nemesis has raised a son for him after a long sleep, and that son And was taught well.

To be honest, Clark didn't know what attitude to use when facing Connor, or the kid named Lucas in a similar situation.

After Lucas detailed the information about the Dark Universe, Tim realized that it was no longer time to hide it. The Dark Universe could invade at any time, and the hero could not face the enemy without knowing anything, even if he and Lu No matter how good the relationship with Cass is, it is impossible to put all the chips on him.

So, Tim told Bruce and Clark about Lucas.

The two best partners in the world have both kept silent about this matter. Whether they should say it or not, they have a child with their best brother. This matter would be embarrassing to anyone.

"I need to see him." Bruce said first.

"Then...then I'll forget it." Clark dodged his eyes, "As you know, I still have Connor's matters to deal with."

"I don't think it's appropriate," Tim said.

"Bruce, Lucas probably has a psychological shadow on you." He said, "In his world, you are very likely to become a villain."

Although Lucas didn't explicitly say this, Tim was the second best detective in the world. How could he not see that the man who used Lucas, who was just born, like a blank piece of paper, as a weapon, tortured Damian into a Who else could be a lifeless person besides Bruce from that world?

Bruce's hands tightened under the table. No one knew better than Batman himself what the consequences would be if Batman turned evil.

The darkness in his heart poked his head out, hoping to get more information about that world, but Bruce's conscience told him that he could not stimulate that child, his son from another world.

"Clark." Bruce looked at his partner.

"Here?" Clark suddenly felt a bad premonition.

"Go see him," Bruce said.

why me? Clark was about to cry but had no tears. He had finally prepared his mind. After having Connor have a son, would he have another son? !

Bruce saw through the Kryptonian's thoughts at a glance, frowned and said, "He also has your blood, but he is different from Superboy."

"It's best not to treat him too differently." Tim said silently, "Lucas is still very keen."

"You know him very well?" Bruce immediately looked at Tim.

Tim didn't feel guilty at all, "That's right, Lucas has been in this world for several years, and all his previous experiences in Gotham can be found. We met in school."

It was clearly right under his nose, but he didn't notice it at all...

"Hasn't he shown any power over the years?" Clark asked doubtfully.

"Well...because he has kryptonite implanted in his body."

Clark's eyes widened.

"Rao..." He sighed subconsciously.

"That's why for so many years, Lucas has always considered himself an ordinary person. Even when I first met him, he was still being bullied at school."

The two adults were silent again. This was indeed a difficult question. At the same time, they felt a sense of guilt and pity for this young man they had never met before.

This is exactly what Tim wants. He has seen Lucas's fragile side, especially his resignation as leader of the Phantom Thieves. Tim believes that Lucas has a serious tendency to self-destruct. When necessary, , he may not care about his own life and choose to sacrifice himself.

Now Lucas needs more bonds, not from friends, but from the more important family.

Although Tim secretly hopes that Lucas will return to the Bat family, he has to admit that the Bat family's family relationship is too obscure and tactful, but they may not have much time anymore, and it is obviously still the same as Superman's family. True and passionate love is more straightforward.

Clark, who saw the two teenagers coming together from a distance, took a nervous breath and sat upright in his seat.
