Do we have an innate tendency to think girls can take care of themselves?

In Stark Tower, in the encrypted training room dedicated to Iron Man, outside the wormhole, the atmosphere of two groups of people is at war.

In the second after Luthor appeared, the basic quality of the agent made Natasha pull out the gun from the back of her waist with a speed that could almost be called conditioned reflex, and aimed at the bald man in the suit walking from the sonic boom tunnel. Probably the most famous, most hated and helpless bald head in the world.

No matter Natasha herself, Tim or Doctor Strange knew that the gun pointed at Luthor could at most keep one's side from losing the wind, and it did not constitute any real threat to Luthor at all.

——Because appearing on the left and right sides of Luther are his two tall female bodyguards, Macy and Hope.

Both of them brought heavy firepower and aimed at Tim and the others.

Red Robin, Black Widow and Doctor Strange VS Luthor and Bodyguard?It needs a fierce battle, but there is still a chance of winning. It's just that Tim understands that Dr. Strange and Agent Romanov around him choose to stay put, and they should share the same thoughts with him at this time-he wants to take this opportunity to know first. What the hell is Luther plotting.

Whether it was when he was Robin or when he later became Red Robin, Tim has of course encountered more tense and urgent situations, but the current state can definitely be ranked among the top three he has experienced.

The blockade of the watchtower, the sudden appearance of Luthor, the future timeline and the future self...

It's all like a fog, and even if Doctor Strange pulls him in because of his special bond with himself in a future timeline, Tim still has to admit that he doesn't have a plan at the moment.

And now Bruce is far away in the watchtower in space.

The future that Doctor Strange tells sounds like a science fiction story to Tim.Helena, grew up like that?

In his logic, no matter what kind of heartbeat needs to be investigated first, he believes that Bruce will also agree.But right now, he doesn't seem to have the time.

Tim knows that the adult Helena in Doctor Strange's mouth and the little baby Bruce loves are two completely different people in essence, just as they will not treat Clark because of certain actions made by the black and white Superman in the parallel world. Look at it differently.

But Tim couldn't believe that in some unfortunate timeline they'd let a little girl in the family grow up like this.

Even someone like Damian can be taken care of by Bruce, not a little girl...

Well, think of Stephanie's short Robin career, which ended with a serious injury and suspended animation... and Cassandra who barely spoke...

Okay, so Bruce is actually less likely to get along with girls than with boys.

Including himself and Dick, Stephanie and Cassandra did not take the lead. On the contrary, they were more dedicated and handy in persuading Damian.

Barbara and Cassandra always give them a "more independent" impression, always able to handle the crises they encounter, and they hardly ever worry about Bruce in terms of character.

Stephanie often gave Bruce a headache, but what did Bruce do?Disqualify her as Robin and alienate her.

Tim had always thought that Bruce was doing this for the girls' benefit, but now, Tim began to suspect that Bruce didn't know what to do.

Are we inadvertently ignoring the psychology of girls?

Do we have a natural tendency to think that girls can always take care of themselves?

Compared with these brats, do the girls seem to be more stable, but in fact, they are more lonely than them in this family?

That being said...if Damian was a girl, the situation might really be worse...

Compared to Luthor, who was making a presence in Stark Tower, what worries Tim most at the moment is how to explain it to Bruce.

How do you tell Helena's story in this timeline so that it doesn't sound like you're accusing Bruce of being a father?

"Messi, Hope..." Luther said, interrupting Tim's complicated thoughts, "Be kinder to our partners."

"Are you right, Agent Romanov? Can this gun be put down?" He blinked at Natasha, and the red-haired female agent just wanted to roll her eyes.

He clapped his hands hypocritically—at least in Natasha's eyes, the most famous superhero opponent showed the most traditional attitude of a pompous politician and capitalist in everything he did.

"Let's cooperate friendly, what do you think?" Luthor put on what he thought was the most friendly gesture, from Tim to Natasha, and then to Doctor Strange, "I have the technology you need, obviously, from the current Judging from the progress, you can’t do without me.”

As if for a product demonstration, or technical explanation, Luthor pressed a button on his right watch with his left hand.

In an instant, the watch expanded, deformed... and he put on a... armor.

This armor is different from Tony's. It is bigger, more square, and without a helmet. It seems to be a black technology that can protect the head without a helmet?

And this armor is silver-blue, with fluorescent strips on the sides, and the chest...

——It's a big red S, still glowing.

Natasha:  …

Tim: ...

Stephen: ...

Luther, you still say you are not a fan of Superman?

Now it's not just Tim who wants to complain.

"Are you sure you don't need to pay royalties to Tony?" This was Natasha who frowned.

"There is also Superman's right to use the trademark..." Doctor Strange glanced at the s, and his muttering was not deliberately lowered at all.

These complaints can't affect Luthor's pride at all. This armor uses Kryptonian technology stolen from the Fortress of Solitude. What do these ordinary people know?

And what's more practical than the Stark guy is that his armor is powered by kryptonite, which can be used as both a drive and a weapon.

A vibration energy conversion decoding system is installed, and a receiver is arranged outside the wormhole, so that people outside the wormhole can receive the information of the team members inside the wormhole in "real time" by skipping the complex and limited Morse code. instruct.

This "real time" is only a relative concept, and Luthor himself is still temporarily unable to determine how the five-dimensional world inside the wormhole will represent "time"-this does not scare him, but makes him excited because of the unknown.

A similar excitement only comes when Superman is first discovered.

Under his signal, the bodyguard Messi opened a suitcase locked on his wrist—this was the receiver that was intended to be placed outside the wormhole to receive energy and decode it.Luther briefly introduced the purpose of use, and incidentally satirized Stark, who used Morse code, for his lack of imagination...

He selectively ignored the most important reason - Tony just didn't bother to use Kryptonian stuff.

"Look, why can't we cooperate?" Luthor smiled insincerely, "Let me take the lead, lead Mr. Drake, and sacrifice to save the future of the world."

Ah... Tim understands, so the other party really covets the technology in the wormhole beyond the dimension they are currently in.

It is also in line with Luthor's usual way of doing things.

Luthor has the tools to communicate inside and outside the wormhole, but to find another Helena, the way with the highest probability of success is to use the magic of Doctor Strange, plus Tim and the existing future him in the wormhole. contact.

"Impossible." Natasha was the first to veto. At the same time, she glanced lightly at Hope who was standing beside her, as if she was evaluating the quickest steps to take down the female bodyguard.

"Oh, I'm so disappointed," Luther was still smiling, "Why, I let you down so much?"

Natasha is still serious: "It's very simple, you have never been so kind, I don't believe you are a good person who can 'take the lead'."

"Well... I'm not... what's the word you use, good guy? But, look, if I'm a 'bad guy', am I in prison now?" Luthor spread his hands, "How do you tell if someone is a good guy? ? And, semantically, is there a concept of 'good guy' at all?"

He smiled maliciously at Natasha, "How do you define yourself, are you a good person, Agent Romanov?"

Doctor Strange simply observed the complex and green fluorescent equipment in the suitcase, "Dr. Banner can also do this technology, and we don't need your...'friendly cooperation'."

Luther sneered, withdrew his open arms of 'cooperation', and put his hands into his trouser pockets, "Well, let's make it clear that the current situation is like this."

With the arms retracted, and the false smile he had been hanging on, he changed into vulture-like eyes, staring at Tim, "I will tell you everything about the little, cute Helena 'future' The story is announced to the public. How I tell it, you are not sure; and whether other people in the world believe it, and how they will think about the relationship between the two Helena..."

He paused, "You can't be sure."

"An infant anti-social element, will such a definition be placed on the innocent little Helena? I think..." He touched his chin exaggeratedly, "There must be a debate in the whole society. Crowds are blind and easily incited, since they can hate the divine Superman, a child who is destined to become the end of the world...will they get their special care?"

"You..." Tim closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down, "The world finally understands Superman, these arguments are nothing."

As long as she is well protected, these "controversies" are just "language".

As if seeing what Tim was thinking, Luther shook his head, "Public opinion and the power of words can destroy a person. If there are too many controversies, people will naturally act under instigation; even if there is no action, think about her growing up." What kind of eyes will you face during the process?"

"Can you filter every word she sees, every word she hears?"

How much do you love her?

How much do you love her, Timothy Drake?

"So it's a threat," Tim said dryly. "A threat I can't refuse."

His tense shoulders suddenly relaxed—he was going to go into the wormhole anyway, with Luthor... it just made him more of a challenge to protect Helena.

"It seems that I have no other choice, Mr. Luthor," Tim rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, loosened his tie, stepped forward, and shook hands with Lex Luthor hypocritically, "So, I hope We have enjoyed working together."

Before (being escorted by Luthor) into the dark wormhole in front of him, Tim turned his head and gave Doctor Strange a look, hoping that he would contact Batman as soon as he got the chance-even if it was 72 hours After the quarantine, if Batman can know the cause and effect, Tim will be relieved a lot.

——I don’t know if Doctor Strange can receive his gaze.

***************************************

Clark hung up the phone in frustration—after Alfred connected, he simply said that the baby was also in space, and then terminated the communication; Jason was not in the service area, and Tim didn't answer.

Bruce, who was isolated in space, even paid attention to the official communication of the alliance-was it impossible to pay attention, or was there no time?

No matter which possibility made him panic, he felt uneasy.

And when the super hearing was turned on to the extreme, Clark found that he couldn't even hear Tim's heartbeat...

In the end, after the series of calls that would surely be complained about, Bruce's face finally appeared on the watchtower video communicator.

"Clark," the other party nodded, very serious, without uniform, with obvious dark circles under his eyes, "The event log has been synchronized to the communication device of every member of the alliance. Read that, and you will understand..."

Seeing that Batman is about to lose contact again...

"I know, I read it," Clark said quickly, "Ah Fu said you took the baby up?"

"Is she okay? Is there enough milk powder? Definitely not enough"

"Enough." Bruce replied with only one word.

"I synthesized it." To Clark's questioning eyes, he explained in detail helplessly.

Clark's expression relaxed, "You never disappoint, Bruce."

The author has something to say:

*Recently, I am doing an internship, and I am also preparing for two exams that are very important to my personal future career development, one in early September and one in mid-October. I can only write essays every day after the completion of the study plan (or touch it at work) Fish, written on the subway...), the latest update cannot be guaranteed, I will try my best to _(:з」∠)_

I still really want to have time to write it. Preparing for exams and going to work are too hard. Thinking about the men and women I love is a rare entertainment time.

After I finish the CPA exam, I will open the CFO article angrily! (The flag stands tall...)

But think about it, after the exam in October, November seems to be the time to hand in the first draft of the thesis... Oh shit, life is too hard.
