Can you retire today?

After entering the Batcave, Gray Bat took Bruce to the treatment room.

"How do you plan to treat it?" Gray Bat asked while turning on the scanner. "Several options, one is surgical treatment, the other is mechanical exoskeleton support, and magic, medicine with large sequelae, etc."

Bruce, who had been treated after Bane broke his spine, knew the options.He was still young last time, so he chose surgery. To ensure success, he also asked Zatanna to apply a magic spell to increase luck, although the price was that it would be extremely unlucky for the next period of time.

I don't know whether it was the magic that took effect, or the surgeon who performed the operation was highly skilled, but the final result was a success.But after all, it was injured, so it also left some sequelae.

Thinking of Clark who was in a hurry to avoid all kinds of bad luck in those days, a smile flashed in Bruce's eyes, but the smile was fleeting, because now he has nothing to laugh about.

Who would have thought that Clark, who had been with Bruce through surgery and recovery, and who had said to be his shield, his solid and reliable rear, would turn out to be the one who hurt him? !

Bruce knew that if he had to operate again, the success rate would be greatly reduced.And he doesn't want to spend too long in this world, "a mechanical exoskeleton is fine."

Gray Bat paused his hand, which was adjusting the instrument, and then nodded towards Bruce, "Yes."

During the waiting time for scanning, Gray Bat suddenly asked: "Is it really Bane?"

Bruce laughed, "Why not?"

He didn't answer yes or no directly, but just looked at the gray bat with some sarcasm.

"..." Gray Bat looked at Bruce for a while, and then said, "You better be aware of your current situation."

"The current situation... Am I a prisoner now?" Of course Bruce knew his current situation, he was even worse than a prisoner.

Nowadays, people treat people like knives and me like fish and meat, and he is completely at the mercy of others, but this does not make him grovel.It is true that he has used various means to achieve his goal, including but not limited to disguise, showing weakness, feigning death, sex, etc., but facing the gray bat, he can't do it!

"If I think about it, your life and even more things will be empty." Gray Bat knew that Bruce didn't trust him. They were all Batmen after all, and no Batman would trust anyone.

He understands, but it doesn't mean he can accept it. If the other party is unwilling to speak properly, he doesn't mind using a little extreme method. After all, he is not the same as he used to be.

"So what do you want from me? Do you have any habit of enjoying being flattered by yourself?" Bruce couldn't help coughing a few more times when he got emotional.

Gray Bat just looked at Bruce coldly, "At least I don't like to deceive myself." The other party acted as if he and his Clark were intimate, but who could actually be fooled, at least Gray Bat didn't believe it, and Superman Seems to have seen something.

"Aren't you kidding yourself right now?" Bruce said sarcastically.

He couldn't believe that the Batman in this world would make such a choice. This is the real Batman, the real Batman, not time-traveled! ! !

The real Batman is like this, so when I return to my own world, can I also join the Superman and the others? isn't it? !

A cold light flashed in Gray Bat's eyes, "You'd better not say such things, my Batcave doesn't have a lead layer." He used to have one, but later, in order to show his trust and support for Superman, he removed it himself.

But what he didn't tell Bruce was that Superman saw that he was really not used to it and in order to show his trust in Gray Bat, he helped him install it himself.

But Superman may not even realize that recently he looked at Gray Bat with more and more doubts, and he even inadvertently used various methods to test Gray Bat.

Does Gray Bat feel bad about this?He was uncomfortable, but in fact Superman didn't suspect that he was wrong, he did have some thoughts that might be betrayal in their eyes.

But everything is still in the idea, he hasn't figured it out yet, the arrival of Bruce, the Batman from the parallel universe, gave him a little inspiration, and he wanted to get some inspiration from his other self.

But what Gray Bat doesn't know is that Bruce, who he thinks can bring him inspiration, is about to be blackened because of him.

Hearing what Gray Bat said, Bruce was not afraid at all. Now he is temporarily in a broken state. Before he left, he had sent the analysis results of the Superman Potion to Captain America and the others. If he really couldn't go back Yes, he believed that they could do it, maybe even better than himself.

"Am I going to be arrested for inappropriate remarks, or have my brain lobotomized for making criminal remarks? You can do it, but I can't resist now." His eyes were full of provocation, as if he wanted Gray Bat to do it immediately.

It stands to reason that he has passed the time of being young and frivolous, but at this moment, facing the gray bat, he seems to have regained the shadow of his past.

But the reason why he provoked the gray bat was more because he was venting his anger.

Gray Bat glanced at Bruce and sneered, "Why do you have to act like this in front of me? I didn't break your spine."

I am the one who knows best how to sting myself. Gray Bat has no interest in being a punching bag for others, even if that person is himself.

"..." Bruce looked away, he didn't want to face Gray Bat's mocking and understanding eyes, and he was indeed stung by Gray Bat's words.

He never thought that Clark would do this, even at the moment when the clown died, he had already realized that the small town boy Clark was "dead", but until Clark killed the Arrow himself, he still didn't really treat Clark. Lost expectations.

Batman is always the calmest and most sensible one in the Justice League, but this time facing Clark, he is full of fantasy.

He always fantasizes that maybe when the sun rises tomorrow, Clark will turn back into that sunny little reporter. Although the Metropolis is destroyed and the "Daily Planet" is gone, as long as Clark is still there, everything is still hopeful. .

But his illusions were shattered time and time again, and his expectations were only met with disappointment time and time again.

From Bruce's point of view, all of this is his own fault. If he could... just... kill the Joker the first time he appeared in Gotham, maybe everything would not be the way it is now.

It was all his fault, and he was at least half to blame for everything Clark did wrong.

People who love Batman praise him for being a mortal who can do what gods can't do, but in fact he is really not that strong.He may seem unbeatable, but in fact he may be the easiest one to break.

It's just that he can climb up with difficulty after being knocked down again and again.

He stood there looking intact and intimidating, but in fact his soul was already shattered.

He didn't know how the other Batmen did it, maybe because they were all strong, but he really wasn't as strong as the other Batmen.If Clark is at heart a small-town boy from Kansas, then at heart he is an ordinary rich kid.

In the 18 years of his previous life, although he didn't feel any family affection, he lived a chic and unrestrained life, but after becoming Bruce Wayne, although he had the affection of his parents, he lived an indescribable life.

Between gains and losses, it is really hard to say.

After the scan, the gray bat carried Bruce to another bed, and then turned on the therapeutic device. Although the therapeutic device could not heal the spine, it could also heal the bruises on Bruce's body.

When the gray bat hugged him again, Bruce felt a little warmth in his heart. He thought of another parallel world he had visited when he was young. Compared with himself, the gray bat was more similar to the Batman there.

"Why did you make the change, because of The Flash?" Bruce asked suddenly after a moment of silence.

"Maybe, but it's not entirely because of him." The gray bat leaned against the wall next to the healing device.

"What's that for?" Bruce asked dispensable, as if he only asked because he was a little bored.

"..." Gray Bat faced the healing device, but his eyes were empty, "Because Superman realized it was time to make a change."

He remembered that he, Diana and Superman went to the White House to find Luthor. He and Diana were delayed for a while because of some bodyguards. When they arrived at Luthor's office, they saw Superman and Luthor who was killed by Superman.

"Only Superman realizes?" Bruce looked at his right wrist, where the crack in the bone was pinched by Clark.

"And us." Gray Bat turned his attention to Bruce, "Now the world has become better. This is something we couldn't do as the Justice League in the past, but when we became Lords of Justice, we did it."

"Maintaining justice cannot be done only by vigilantes, what it needs is a controller." In fact, Gray Bat doesn't know whether he is speaking to Bruce or himself.

"Where is Diana's Lasso of Mantra?" Bruce suddenly changed the subject. When learning about the world, he noticed that Diana never used the Lasso of Mantra after becoming Lord Justice, and when they faced themselves, they also No mantra lasso was used.

"..." Gray Bat didn't know how to answer this question.

"She lost the lasso of truth, didn't she?" Although it was a question, Bruce used an affirmative tone, but Gray Bat did not refute.

"Diana is a demigod, and the lasso of mantra is an artifact. She lost her own artifact. Doesn't that explain anything?" Because of Diana, Thor, and Loki, Bruce is serious about understanding all kinds of things. of fairy tales.

"No matter what this means, it has nothing to do with you, you just need to wait for your Clark to come to you." When he said "Clark", there was sarcasm in Gray Bat's voice.

Although he seemed to be completely unaffected, in fact his heart was a little messed up.

It's not that he didn't feel Diana's change, but in fact, all of them have changed, and Gray Bat is not sure whether the final result of this change is good or bad.
