Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Although all members of the Court of Owls have been arrested, everyone knows that the matter is not far from over.

Zatanna was busy studying the blood extracted from Lucas' body. For comparison, she also asked Bruce for his blood. The rest was time, while the vigilantes continued to investigate the missing statue and the pool. .

As for Lucas, the start of school at Gotham University is coming soon, and before that, Bruce holds a dinner party to introduce Lucas' existence.

"Don't be nervous, this is just to officially introduce you to people as the new member of the Wayne family." Bruce said.

In fact, he wanted to keep a low profile...

However, looking at Alfred measuring his body data with a smile on his face, Lucas still compromised.

Bruce chose to hold this dinner at Wayne Manor, and only invited familiar upper-class people and a small number of media. Due to the Court of Owls case, not many people came, and everyone present had a bright smile on their face.

Gotham's cake is so big, and so many people have been eliminated, doesn't this mean that they can eat more of it? However, this can only be said that the members of the Court of Owls deserved what they deserved.

After a barrage of flashbulbs and questions, Lucas was finally able to extricate himself from the reporters.

Grabbing a drink, Lucas hid behind a pillar and breathed a small sigh of relief. He chatted with the group of richly dressed upper-class people with words such as "You and Mr. Bruce look really alike" and "You are so outstanding at such a young age." , You are worthy of being a member of the Wayne family." In response to the reward, he felt that his face was almost numb from laughter.

"Hi, Lucas."

Lucas heard a familiar voice.

"Harry?" Lucas blinked, "Why are you here?"

"I received the invitation." Harry smiled, "Tim gave it to me."

"Is there anyone else coming too?"

"I know you miss us." Harry smiled, "But this time it's just me."

His eyes swept across the media, "This time is different from the banquet hosted by Luther. You are the protagonist, and the presence of peers who are close to you at this banquet will be arranged."

Lucas sighed, "It's not easy for rich people either."

"No one has it easy." Harry shrugged.

The exciting BGM came from the sky, and the golden-red mecha fell from the sky.

"Good evening, everyone." Tony said boldly when the mask lowered.

Bruce's hand holding the wine glass tightened, "You are still so high-profile, Tony."

"Of course." Tony enjoyed the exclamations of everyone, "I am Iron Man."

The armor on his body automatically peeled off and retracted to his wrists.

Tony's goal was very clear, and he walked straight towards Lucas.

"Are you Bruce's new son?" He glanced directly at Lucas's cheek and raised his eyebrows, "They look quite similar."

Bruce paused and looked at Tony suspiciously.

"Um...hello."

"Long time no see, Mr. Stark." Harry next to Lucas also smiled politely.

"Ah, why are the guys from the Osborne Group here?"

"Harry is my friend," Lucas said.

"Friends..." Only then did Tony feel that Lucas looked familiar. He thought for a few seconds and then realized, "Oh~ you are little Peter's friends, right?"

"In that case..." Tony took out a piece of paper and pen and waved it coolly, "I really want Iron Man's autograph."

Lucas:…

He looked at the signature in his hand speechlessly. Peter should like this gift very much.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark," he said.

Tony smiled smugly at Bruce who came over, "I know everyone likes Iron Man."

Bruce twitched the corner of his mouth subtly, Tony... However, he glanced at Lucas who was talking with Harry. He had already known that the superhero Lucas liked was not him. I had a premonition, but...

When Tony was pulled away by Bruce, he did not forget to wink at Lucas, "If there is anything you want, just ask your uncle Tony."

"I will meet Lucas' needs." Bruce said with some gritted teeth.

"Huh? Little Bruce can't break the defense, can he?"

"Hmph, I wonder when you and Pepper will have your own child."

"Who...who wants to be with her!"

"Huh? Really? Then I would rather have a secretary as dedicated as Ms. Pepper."

"What the hell! Why would Pepper come to Wayne Group?"

……

Bruce and Tony left noisily, but seeing the excitement of the media next to them, Lucas prayed for Ms. Pepper.

"They are quite childish sometimes, aren't they?" Tim walked up to the two of them at some point and said with a smile.

"Ah, when did you come here?" Harry was startled by him, "You can't even make a sound when you walk."

"Well... maybe I'm used to it." Tim shrugged.

"Uh..." Harry remembered Tim's identity as Red Robin, "That's right."

"How are the Phantom Thieves' recent activities?" Lucas couldn't help but ask.

"Ha, don't you still care a lot?" Harry smiled.

"I'm still a member of the Phantom Thieves..." Lucas muttered quietly.

"Don't worry, Gwen is a very responsible leader, and the citizens of New York also support us, but..." Harry held his chin, "Even if there are people who need to repent, they are just small characters in the impression space. I haven’t even met a palace master.”

Harry said this with a somewhat regretful expression on his face.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Tim sighed, "If one day, Gotham no longer needs superheroes, then I can be my president with peace of mind."

"Yeah, it would be nice to be able to spend the rest of my life in peace." Lucas sighed.

"You're obviously still very young, so don't speak like an old man." Harry said with a fishy eye.

In response, Lucas just smiled and said nothing.

Then, Clark, who represented the Daily Planet, also came over to pay attention to Lucas's situation in recent days.

"Can't the kryptonite be taken out? Is that so..." Clark sighed, and he looked at Lucas softly, "Then I will have to wrong you for a while longer."

"It's not like I feel aggrieved..." Lucas shook his head, "I'm used to it."

Clark opened his eyes slightly and rubbed Lucas' head wordlessly.

"Don't say that, no one should get used to suffering."

"What are you doing?" Damian appeared quietly behind the two of them, looking at Clark warily, "I'm warning you Kent, Easton is from the Wayne family."

"Huh? I didn't..." Looking at Damian's eyes, Clark couldn't laugh or cry.

He doesn't have the same hobby of raising children as Bruce. Neither Connor nor Lucas is in Clark's life plan, but as Bruce said, now that they have been born, Clark, as a person connected by blood, I naturally have that responsibility.

"Okay, Damian, this is so rude." Dick patted Damian on the shoulder and said to Clark apologetically, "I'm sorry, Clark."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Of course Clark wouldn't argue with a child.

"But..." Damian looked at Dick unwillingly, his baby-fat cheeks bulging.

"Okay, okay, I'll just leave." Clark reluctantly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Dick saw this and put his arm around Clark's shoulders, "Then let's talk."

The relationship between him and Clark had always been good, and Clark would even help look after Bludhaven when Dick was particularly busy.

Now, only Lucas and Damian were left.

Damian glanced at Lucas and said in a low voice, "I will keep an eye on you."

After saying these incomprehensible words, Damian also left. He didn't want to be photographed like a monkey by the media.

After the banquet, Lucas was about to report to Gotham University. Since his relationship with Bruce was announced, Lucas' college life was smooth sailing. After all, Bruce donated a building to Gotham University.

"It's been pretty calm lately. There's no sign of any trouble from those super villains."

"Isn't this great?"

"Well...it would be nice if it could continue like this, but there is always a feeling of the calm before the storm."

"Oh, are you thinking too much?"

Lucas was taking notes while listening to the conversations of the classmates around him.

That said, indeed.

Lucas looked at his dense notes and couldn't help but become distracted.

It has been nearly a month since I arrived in Gotham. Except for the Court of Owls, who had something hidden behind his back before, the other villains are all staying in Arkham Asylum. Objectively speaking, this is undoubtedly a good thing, but this is really It's not normal, let alone ordinary people, and Lucas also feels that they want to make something big happen.

Lucas sighed, it would be nice if he could do something, but he also knew that if he used another world in Gotham to repent of criminals, it would undoubtedly touch the bottom line in Bruce's heart.

Batman is a very difficult enemy, whether good or evil, not to mention he doesn't want to be an enemy of Bruce.

In a safe house somewhere in Gotham, Jason opened his eyes, and his blue-green eyes quickly completed the transition from ignorance to clarity.

After getting up and washing up, Jason sat at his desk, his brain constantly thinking and supplementing his next plan.

Two years ago, he saw another version of himself and learned the truth about the world from himself in another world.

Even though Jason learned that he was a lucky person in the main world, he didn't feel very happy because he saw another memory of himself from the dark universe.

The place called the Dark Universe is like a quagmire, with countless worlds shattering like a bubble at the bottom, leaving only endless wreckage.

To be honest, he was not surprised by the Dark Universe's counterattack against the main world. No matter who lived in such an environment, he would have the urge to destroy the world, but being the party being invaded would not be great.

Thinking of Lucas, who was now peacefully attending Gotham University, Jason felt irritable. Does that kid know what he will face in the future?

That kind of blues is so fucking bad! It's like a nightmare!

Thanks to his other self, he clearly felt the pain when his brain was penetrated by a bullet. Although he had never died before, he didn't want to experience the feeling of death again, okay?

Jason saw the aftermath of Batman killing the Joker.

He has always wanted the clown to die. The more miserable the death, the better. There is no need for such a scumbag to live! When he returned under the pseudonym Red Hood, he carefully laid a dead end for the Joker, but was resolved one by one by Batman.

Originally, Jason wanted to kill the Joker himself, but Bruce's attitude really made him doubt whether he or the Joker was more important in Bruce's heart, so he asked Bruce to choose between himself and the Joker, and the result was... It's obvious.

Batman didn't choose anyone. He neither wanted to kill the Joker nor hurt Jason, but this approach had already hurt Jason. He clearly realized that he and Batman had embarked on a completely different path, but It is impossible for him to remain loyal to his adoptive father and mentor, so now he can only maintain this life of taking a step back until the arrival of his other self.

Jason never thought that there would be such a powerful virus in the Joker's blood, powerful enough to shake Batman's will and turn him into a lunatic like the Joker, no, even worse.

If I killed the Joker in advance from a distance, would such a future still happen in this world?

Just doing this is not enough. The life of a clown is not worth the entire world. We need more weights, more... ways to protect the world.

Why are you helping me so much? This isn't your world, is it?

my world? The other one seemed to sneer, my world is already hopeless, as for helping you? Do you need any more reasons to help yourself?

really?

how? I don't remember Jason Todd being as paranoid as Old Bat one day.

Just state your purpose directly.

Well, let me get it straight, I hate the combination of the Joker and the Old Bat. Don’t you think it’s disgusting?

…You’re on to the point.

Jason was indeed disgusted by the Laughing Bat, a combination of an enemy and a person he cared about, how could such a thing exist in this world!

It feels really amazing to work with me. Since they are essentially the same person, they can think of the same thing every time and their cooperation is quite tacit.

After nearly two years of hard work, the Jasons feel they are ready.

The layout of the city has been completed, and the army is already on standby in Gotham. Although this has a little help from Deathstroke, and he has also annexed some of Hydra's forces, these are all insignificant arrangements. , he does not have enough time, so he can only increase his bargaining chip by any means.

Next, it's his time.
