Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"It's not fair. I obviously had to stay in a safe place..." Mindy muttered.

"Obviously it's because I'm strong," Raven said calmly.

"Hey!" Mindy puffed up her cheeks, but couldn't find any words to refute, because Raven was indeed better than an ordinary person.

"The other world is still different from reality, so Raven, you still have to be careful." Lucas warned, "It's best not to use your own name."

"Then you should call me Raven." Raven said nonchalantly.

"You really like crows."

"Because crows represent death." Raven said calmly, "I think it fits my temperament very well."

She looked at Lucas, who was observing the surroundings, with dim eyes. The death aura that appeared on him before was no worse than her natural physique. It could only be obtained by killing countless people. At that moment, Raven You almost think you are facing the king of the demon army.

Sometimes gentle, sometimes terrifying, it's almost like a dual personality.

The dark corridor, the messy bloodstains on the ground, the darkness where you can't see your fingers, you can only hear the sound of your own footsteps, this weird atmosphere can't help but make people sweat.

"Well..." Peter couldn't help but say, "Do you think the scene here looks like an alien?"

Gwen, who had watched many science fiction works with Peter, trembled. Those ferocious monsters suddenly flashed through her mind. Gwen rolled her eyes at Peter and said, "Don't scare me!"

"Hehe." Peter scratched his head and comforted: "Don't worry, if anything happens, my spider sense is not a display."

"There's not even a shadow." Mindy's expression was solemn.

The existence of the palace will definitely attract shadows, but when they circled the Excalibur, all they saw was a dim scene, so quiet that it was disturbing.

"Has Hope sensed the secret treasure?" Lucas asked in a low voice.

"...No." Hope said dullly, "Self, I feel very bad. This palace seems...dead."

The real world at this time.

The sudden interruption of the bug caused Tim's movements to pause.

The bug lost its signal again, and he knew the Phantom Thieves were on the move.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Tim's eyes, like this every time. He was really curious about what Lucas and the others had done!

However, now he also has his own things to do.

The Met's electronic Trojans have been nearly wiped out.

Tim pulled out a grapple gun and whizzed to the roof.

"Cough cough."

Cleared his throat.

"Superboy, Lionel," he said.

There was no yelling, Tim just waited quietly after he finished speaking because he knew the man could hear him.

"How did you know this name?" Lionel floated in the air, looking down at Red Robin.

Apart from Luther, he only told his dear brother the name Lionel.

"What did you do to my brother?" Lionel said bluntly.

Tim's mask and uniform were mixed with lead, and he couldn't see the reality under the uniform. This made Lionel a little wary. This showed that the guy in front of him knew the Kryptonians extremely well, and his extremely weak brother... …

"Brother?" Tim narrowed his eyes.

Lionel pouted, "Yes, we are the best brothers."

We've just met each other. Is Lucas actually so close to Superboy? They actually became brothers.

Tim thought strangely, but remained very calm on the surface, "He and I are friends."

"You said a friend is a friend?" Lionel crossed his chest, "Why should I trust you, a guy who doesn't even dare to show his face?"

"Really, then it seems that you are no longer interested in Superman's news..." Tim turned around, looking like he was about to leave, while counting silently in his mind.

three two……

"Wait a minute." Lionel flew in front of Tim and asked anxiously: "What do you mean? Isn't Superman dead?"

Tim raised his head calmly and looked at this young man who couldn't hide his emotions. He might not have been born for more than a year, so he was still too young.

"What do you think?" Tim asked Lionel again. "Do you want him to live?"

Lionel's expression suddenly became confused, "I, I don't know...I..."

As mentioned before, after seeing the big world, it really gave Lionel a big blow. He didn't know whether he could shoulder the responsibility of Superman. Maybe as many people said, now He is far from qualified.

Seeing Lionel's expression, Tim knew that he had already wavered and deviated from the path Luther had planned for him. Most importantly, Superboy really needed a guide. This is what an ordinary person should do. Something Luther couldn't do.

"I don't think Superman is dead." Tim said, he raised his eyebrows, "Let me introduce myself, I am Batman's assistant, Red Robin."

"Batman's...ah!" Lionel suddenly realized.

Batman and Superman are known to be the best partners. When a group of people competed for the title of Superman, many people were staring at the Justice League and Batman, hoping that the League and Batman would come out to express their stance, but no, not even once. That's why this fight has lasted so long.

"So, Batman asked you to come over and tell me that Superman is not dead, and then ask me to give up on becoming Superman?" Lionel said in a fierce tone.

This magical brain circuit left Tim speechless.

"...Why do you think so?"

"Ah? Isn't it?"

Tim took a deep breath, "It's not what you think."

"Then what are you here for?"

Realizing that beating around the bush didn't work for Superboy, Tim came right out and said, "I think Annihilus and Superman have a special connection."

"That cold, machine-like guy?" Lionel frowned. He didn't like Annihilator very much, not only because he was cold and inhumane, but also because he attacked the Rikers Building inexplicably. To kill Luther.

"I don't think that guy is with Superman," Lionel said.

"I thought so too at first," Tim said.

Anyone who knows or understands Superman does not think that Annihilator, who has such a rigid and ruthless style, is related to him. Even when discussing Superman's successor, people will skip Annihilator by default. His behavior that day was completely inconsistent with people's expectations. Superhuman expectations.

"But after these days of surveillance..." Tim stopped as his eyes rested on Lionel's shoulder.

Lionel, who was listening attentively, gave him a puzzled expression, "What's wrong, Xiao Hong? Keep going."

"Xiaohong?"

"Don't you think it's cute?" Lionel grinned his white teeth.

Looking at the sunny and cheerful Lionel, Tim had the same doubts as Lucas. Isn't this kid a white guy?

"You take off the Lex logo on your shoulder first." Tim chose to skip the topic.

"Huh?" Lionel tore off the sign with an inexplicable look on his face, "What's wrong?"

The logo was also mixed with lead, but Lionel had no defense against Luther, so he didn't pay any attention to it.

"Can you take a look at it?" Tim said.

"Okay." Lionel handed the sign in his hand to Tim.

The first time Tim took it over, he checked whether there were monitors and locators inside, but soon he touched something hard.

Sure enough, Luther was not kind enough to run around with his personal property at all.

Tim exerted a little force with his fingers, and the sound of the machine breaking was heard.

Then, he returned the sign to Lionel without changing his expression, "Okay."

Lionel's super hearing was not a decoration. This little sound was clear to his ears. He said to Tim blankly: "You...what did you just do?"

"Can't you hear that?" Tim asked.

It was precisely because I heard it that I felt uneasy!

Lionel's face was full of confusion. If the bug had been there from the beginning, wouldn't it mean that he had leaked everything about his brother to Luther?

Although Lionel serves Luther, this does not mean that he does not understand Luther.

"I have to protect my brother, he may be targeted by Lex!" Lionel said uneasily.

Tim was stunned. Lionel's current reaction was not what he expected. Is there some information that he didn't have?

"What do you mean?"

"It's too late to explain." Lionel closed his eyes. Although his super hearing is not as powerful as Superman, he still has no problem finding people in the same city.

The super brain and super hearing are activated at the same time to ensure that his brain will not be overwhelmed by too complicated information.

No, not one of the eight million heartbeats belongs to Lucas!

Lionel is quite at a loss. Brother, he won't... he won't die! What's more, isn't there Peter beside him... He calmed down again and looked for Peter's heartbeat.

Peter's heartbeat also disappeared? !

"How could this happen..." he murmured.

Even if Lex wasn't a good person, he wouldn't be able to deal with Lucas so quickly. After all...after all, Lucas had Superman's blood just like him.

But in this case, Lucas and he are competitors, and judging from Lucas's attitude towards Lex, it is obvious that the two parties will not get along well.

What should I do! The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Lucas was secretly dealt with by Lex!

Tim frowned and watched the expression on Lionel's face change, "If you don't mind, there is another person here waiting for you to answer your questions."

"You...you are also Lucas's friend, right?" Lionel said very sadly, "I can't hear Lucas's heartbeat, and I can't hear Peter's either...I really don't know what's going on. It will become like this..."

Can't hear their heartbeats? Sure enough, the Phantom Thieves entered a place similar to a different space when they were repenting, so they disappeared on the spot.

"Why do you look so indifferent!" Lionel looked at Tim, whose expression didn't change at all. He was filled with grief and anger, "You keep saying that you are Lucas's friend, but you didn't react at all when something happened to him! "

What kind of friend is this? His brother's taste is so bad!

"Something happened?" Tim shook his head, "Lucas is fine."

"But...but, I can't even hear his heartbeat!"

"You think Luther took action against them? No." Tim could see Lionel's thoughts at a glance. He was monitoring the Phantom Thieves when they were repenting.

What Hank Henshaw wants to do with the image of Superman is definitely not a good thing based on his current paranoid mentality. In this case, it is best to stop him while he has not done anything. Lucas and the others have their own methods, and naturally Tim can't be idle either.

Since Henshaw wants to take over Superman's identity to discredit him, all it takes is the real Superman showing up.

"Listen, when I was tracking Annihilator's whereabouts, I found that he disappeared on his way to the North Pole every time." Tim said.

"What does this mean?"

"You really don't know anything." Tim sighed, "Superman has a secret base in the North Pole."

The Fortress of Solitude, a shelter built by Superman in the North Pole, houses a lot of Kryptonian technology and collectibles that Superman brought back from aliens.

When suffering injuries that cannot be restored by Earth's technology, Superman will use his Kryptonian technology to heal Batman's injuries. Of course, Batman himself refuses to rely on Kryptonian technology.

Tim had a strong intuition when he found out that the Annihilators disappeared every time on their way to the North Pole.

Superman may not be dead.

Has Bruce realized this a long time ago, so he has never removed his position as chairman of the Superman Alliance?

"Anyway, I need you to come with me to Superman's Fortress of Solitude in the Arctic," Tim said.

Lionel was silent for a few seconds, "...Why me?"

Tim stared at the face that bore a striking resemblance to Superman.

What else could it be because you are the only one among these who truly inherits his bloodline?

"Ah, because you have to do this."

To enter the Fortress of Solitude, you must use the key that weighs hundreds of tons. Apart from Superman, who has super strength, is there anyone else on this earth who can lift that key?

However, Tim's words still caused Lionel to misunderstand something, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Haha, I like what you said!"

He flew to Tim's side, eager to try, "Do you want me to hold you, or hold you?"

"...I have a plane." Tim said reservedly, declining Lionel's considerate service.

As the two teenage heroes headed to the North Pole, Hank Henshaw noticed something strange.

Although he wore the appearance of Superman, his soul had already mutated. Because of this, he felt that some kind of power was invading his mind.

It is very difficult for humans to enter their own subconscious, but Henshaw, whose soul can travel through the Internet, can easily do this.

He closed his eyes and went deeper into consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing inside the Excalibur again.
