Meet the father-in-law [Comprehensive]

Hodge's voice sounded a little different than usual, of course, Poison Ivy's pollen was well-deserved, and even someone like Batman fell for it.When he spoke, he was no longer the calm, restrained, low-pitched voice with a unique sense of rhythm and rhythm. His voice sounded hurried and trembling, as if reason was fighting fiercely with instinct.

Hodge's eyes were still in a dazed state of being out of focus. He kept looking in Elide's direction and kept repeating the same words, "I'm sorry" and "I'm sorry", over and over again, as if these words held together With the last sliver of clarity in his mind.

It seemed as if it had taken a century. Elide finally woke up from the shock just now, and her blank brain started to function again. She suddenly realized that Hodge's words were meant for her.

His expression was full of guilt, and he kept repeating the words of apology... The object of all this was not the Haili she just thought, but herself!

—Is he apologizing for what just happened?

Elide felt that she was still standing in the torrent of emotion, which was like icy sea water, soaking her body with cold.She silently took a deep breath, stretched out her hands to hold Hodge's face, and stared seriously into his hazel eyes.

After repeatedly hesitating to speak, she finally spoke with hesitation, and softly comforted her:

"I know, I know, Hodge, I understand what Poison Ivy's pollen will do - don't worry, everything will be fine, we have the antidote, and the ambulance will be here soon."

Before this moment, Elide never felt that she was a poor tongue, but at this moment, she could only use different sentences to repeat the same meaning upside down.

She only felt that her heart was heavy, filled with complex emotions she hadn't expected, but at the same time, she also felt that her heart was barren, like the abandoned Wayne Manor, with only ruined walls and dead grass.

For a long time in the past, she has always regarded Aaron Hotchner as an idol and monument, a hero similar to Bruce Batman Wayne, she wants to become stronger, and wants to protect the people she wants to protect , but she never thought that this kind of emotion not only comes from the fetters between family members, but also from her... love for someone.

"I'm very sorry……"

The man was still struggling and repeating those words. Elide could only try her best to stabilize Hodge's body to prevent him from hurting herself due to agitation. At the same time, she carefully observed the other's pupils to judge his physical condition. .

For a moment, Hodge's eyes seemed to recover. The man stared at Elied for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was hoarse, almost intermittent.

"I know you're not her, I know who you are, I just—"

Hodge suddenly coughed violently. Under the silence of the night, the sound was almost heart-piercing. He tightly grasped Elied's arm, struggling to continue talking.

Elide didn't know what was going on, but based on her guess, Hodge was emotionally agitated at the moment, and he was trying to overcome the pheromones in his body, trying so hard that he damaged his body.

After a short period of hesitation, Elide quickly made a decision. She used a trick she learned from Bruce: press two fingers hard on the back of the neck, which can make people faint for a while.This move is the same as the hand knife slashing the neck below the ears, it is her most commonly used stun move.

She reached out her hand resolutely, only to feel that her left hand was shaking a little.

Hodge immediately passed out, and his shortness of breath gradually calmed down, and the weird light green color on his face gradually faded, but his face was still terrible.Fortunately, other than that, his heartbeat was steady and his pupils responded to light normally.

Elide stretched out her hand and carefully brushed Hodge's forehead with her sleeve. The effect of the pollen made him sweat profusely, and the hair on his forehead was almost soaked.He rested on Elide's lap, curled up slightly and lay on his side. Even in a coma, he still frowned tightly, with the corners of his lips drawn down, as if he was enduring the pain caused by pheromones.

At this moment, the majesty and calm that Hodge wore on his body as an armor and a fortress disappeared. He looked so embarrassed and so fragile, far from the aura of suits and leather shoes in the daytime.

Elide stretched out her hand in a daze, and lightly touched his frowning brows. Maybe it was the woman's cool fingertips that soothed the scorching heat in his blood. Hodge seemed a little relieved—but only a little.

After staring at that face quietly for a long time, when the siren of an ambulance was faintly heard by her ears, Elide curled her lips slightly, leaned down, and kissed the corner of his mouth gently.

It was a purely heartfelt move, without any particular reason.

She just wants to kiss the person she likes at this moment.

When Huo Qi woke up, he felt severe pain all over his body, as if he had just been in a serious car accident.

At the end of the hazy line of sight is the familiar yet unfamiliar ceiling, he is in the hospital—he is in the hospital again.

Fortunately, there is no breathing tube in his nose, no needles in his wrists, and no part of his body is unconscious due to the effect of the anesthesia... Thank God, he is just lying on the hospital bed.

He didn't want to explain to Jack why he was hurt again.

Lifting his eyelids with difficulty, Hodge tried hard to look at the surrounding environment, and soon heard someone calling his name, coming from one end of the ward.

It's Rossi.

He was well-dressed, looked very energetic, and had a relaxed expression on his face. Hodge couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Judging by Rossi's appearance, there must be nothing particularly dangerous about him.

but……

The man frowned. He still remembered that they split up to arrest the unknown suspect. He and Elide went to the small farm on the outskirts of Gotham City, where he seemed to meet a woman, and then—

Numerous fragmentary images faintly appeared in his mind. Hodge recalled and pondered, but couldn't piece together a complete memory for a while.

"Don't put on such an expression when you just woke up." Rossi had already pulled a chair and sat in front of Hodge. He leaned on the back of the chair with a leisurely expression, "You should smile more, Hodge."

"What's wrong with me?" Hodge said while trying to sit up, Rossi quickly got up to help him, and thoughtfully stuffed an extra pillow behind his back.

"Poisoned, you have met a well-known mental patient in Gotham City. According to Dick, that woman is called 'Poison Ivy'. She has some... well, special abilities related to biological pheromones, pollen."

"Where's Cook?" Hodge only felt a severe headache. Rossi's words aroused some memories in his mind, but there was not enough information, and his mind was still in chaos.

"We got him - to be precise, someone packed him up and dumped him at the gate of gcpd. Gotham City's urban legend is more diligent than their cops, and I'll tell you the truth, I've considered joining one of Batman's fan club."

Rossi changed his sitting position as he spoke. He crossed his legs and crossed his fingers on his knees. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone that could not be detected.

"It is said that most of the pheromones of Poison Ivy only affect men. Of all the people who went to the farm, only Elied was safe-but you were the most injured. Fortunately, the Applied Medicine Department of the Wayne Group has developed The universal antidote—they said they were afraid that the boss would be given a potion of fascination—so, you recover quickly after using the antidote.”

Even if Rossi didn't deliberately say it clearly, Hodge has already realized what aspects of Poison Ivy's "pheromone" are aimed at.He grinned at Rossi in embarrassment, and after a while, his face suddenly sank.

"Oh~" Rosie said emotionally, shaking her head while talking, "It seems that something interesting happened between you and Elide—but, I assure you, when you are sent When you came to the hospital, Elide was fully dressed, and the only person who touched your clothes was the emergency personnel, and you didn't do anything to affect the dignity of your team leader."

Even after Rossi said so, Hodge's expression was still very bad, his lips were tightly pressed together, and there was even a deep wrinkle on his chin.

He vaguely remembered what happened. At that time, he was affected by the pheromone of the poison ivy woman, and his mind was in chaos, and he even had hallucinations in front of his eyes.

At first, he thought that the person in front of him was Haili, but he also knew that the person was not Haili, but under the influence of the pollen, he couldn't control himself at all.

Then he knew who it was before him, it was Elied, but he...

Probably because Hodge's face was too ugly, Rossi's attitude immediately became gentle.

"Do you have anything to say, Hodge? You know, I'll always be your listener."

Hodge frowned and pondered. He needed to sort out his thoughts and organize his words. When he finally raised his head to look at Rossi, he caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

Through the glass window of the ward, he happened to be able to see the end of the L-shaped corridor, where Elied and...

An angry Bruce Wayne.
