It only took Louise about a year to go from being here once a day, to once a week, to once a month.At first she thought it was because she was too busy at work, but then she really realized that sometimes forgetting is inevitable.Flowers and candles have begun to decrease. There are people coming and going around the square, but few people stop here. After all, life is still going on, and those heavy memories will not last long on strangers.Louise put the Lorimas in her hand directly under the Superman logo, and then lit the candles blown out by the wind again.She stood up, stroking the ring on her finger and thinking.Heavy clouds rolled over her and the metropolis, and the sunny days here were dwindling for some reason.Louise closed her eyes, and dropped a kiss on the ring that was beginning to wear and lose some of its luster.Then she took it off and put it back in its original bag.

"Farewell, Clark."

She left.

"Tough day?"

"It doesn't count if that car gets fixed sooner."

"Oh, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed, Master Bruce." Alfred took the coffee away calmly and replaced it with a glass of vegetable juice. "I just called and they said the car needed a complete repair."

"Now you're going to aggravate this situation?" Bruce stared at the glass of green stuff.

"At least I can assure you that you won't die of malnutrition."

Bruce ignored the glass, and went straight to put on his bat suit.Tonight—no, it should be said that every night, he will take care of the two cities.I hope that those criminals will not choose to hit the gun tonight, after all, the strength of the fist is more derived from the mood of its owner.

"This matter will not be very smooth to anyone." Alfred said with his back to Bruce who was about to step into the Batmobile.

"I'm past the age of comfort, Alf."

Platforms rose, caves opened, and bats poured out of the ground.

"It's crime season again in Gotham." Gordon threw away the cigarette butt, and directed his police officers to help put the drug dealers into the ambulance. "I don't know who upset you again, but next time it's better to keep a guy or two for me to take notes."

"I stayed, but he was a little frightened." Batman's hoarse voice came from the darkness.

Gordon turned his head to look at the guy who was tearing up and shitting, and felt that the standard of "scaring" really varies from person to person.

"Anyway, thank you for today, Bat—"

He turned around and saw that there was no one there.

Louise suddenly took out the spray when the shadow approached her.

"Shouldn't it be your job to follow ordinary citizens?" She put away the bottle and took out the key.

"You shouldn't have too much trust in me, Miss Lane." Batman stood in the dark alley, far away from the lights beside Louise.

"Hmm, maybe? Although you wanted to kill my ex-boyfriend, at least you killed that disgusting thing together with him, plus those rumors, information, materials... At least I'm sure you won't Crazy like that Lex. But putting away the pepper spray doesn't mean trust." Louise shrugged.

"You took off that ring."

"Nice observation, great detective." She crossed her arms.

"You are very strong, Miss Lane."

"Now it's a moral trial again?"

"I have no intention of accusing you, Miss Lane."

"I don't want to explain my private affairs, but... I know exactly what you mean." Louise Lane stood upright, and she looked directly at Batman in the dark. "I love Clarke and I will always love him. But staying put doesn't help, at least for me. I need to move on, I still need to do something, and I'm sure even Clark agrees with that .There's enough hurt and darkness in this world, and I don't want to feed on it. That's how I handle it, and if it makes you feel... I can only say sorry."

Louise turned and stepped up her front steps, stopping before opening the door.Louise knew she should go inside, close the door and get on with the never-ending work.But for that moment, at least for that moment, she couldn't stop those voices from coming out.

"Did you do all this - all this, to punish the evil, to make up for the shortcomings, or just to make up for your own weakness at the time?"

She didn't wait for an answer, and the only sound left in the dark alley was the flapping of wings.

"I think Miss Lane's remarks just now are biased."

Alfred's voice came from the communicator.

"No, she didn't." Batman's voice was as calm as ever. "She's just pointing out certain issues that we're all avoiding."

"but……"

"I've never been proud of it."

"... Received, the communication is over."

The bat flapped its wings and returned to the cave, and the faint morning light appeared in the distance. Maybe we can see the sun again today.
