Brand Master [Comprehensive Yingmei]

The so-called meeting with the Great Demon King means that as soon as Vera said that she wanted to have a decent Christmas for her children, everyone who hadn't made any prior arrangements raised their hands to sign up.

The Flash, Green Lantern, and Diana aside, even Clark smiled and said he would visit Jason late at night with Christmas presents, as "Superman," of course.

As for Batman...

Vera: "On Christmas Eve you brought—"

"I am very busy."

Bruce had absolutely no intention of celebrating Christmas Eve with his fellow Justice League mates, and immediately said, "I don't have time to bring presents..."

"—bring Richard here."

Vera said the second half of the sentence coldly.

Bruce: "..."

Vera: "I promised the kid to invite him over to play."

what are you thinking about?

Not to invite you, but to invite your son - you are just a tool daddy to send Dick, thank you.

Zheng Lianzhong who witnessed the tragedy: "..."

Sure enough, no matter what they've been through, Vera and Bruce just don't match up ==

With this kind of cognition, when they saw those two wishes, the omnipotent Wonder Woman and The Flash were all in a bad mood.

Barry's whole body was torn apart, and he held his forehead: "I don't think there is any need to read the third article."

The first wish is to let Batman go, the second wish is to let Superman go, and the third wish doesn't even need to be thought about, basically it is to make Mother Vera belong to the child alone.

Hearing this, Vera paused when she unfolded the note. She glanced at the half-stretched ball of paper, squinted her eyes, and squeezed the small ball of paper in her palm again, and put it in it as if nothing had happened. into his pocket.

I have to say that raising a child who is too precocious is also a very difficult thing.

For Jason, who used to hang out on the streets of Gotham, telling him about fairy tales and holiday traditions is nonsense. He only has vigilance and rejection of the so-called Christmas, without any sense of joy.

He knew that Santa Claus was also nonsense, and when Vera asked him to write a wish, he knew what Vera wanted to do—the child simply relied on the convenience of this "wish" to make a request to Vera openly.

Just damn smart.

If Hal, who doesn't know how to read people's faces and is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, is here, he will definitely help Vera with advice and advice, and help little Jason to drive the villains Clark and Bruce away bravely and fearlessly.

But the three people standing here had some conscience. They pretended not to see Vera's obviously special attitude towards the third ball of paper, and they were not stupid enough to ask a question.

Trevor was too embarrassed to look at Vera's face, so he reluctantly found an excuse to help Mary cook and ran away.

For the remaining two superheroes, Barry said with a dry smile that he would go home to get the forgotten Christmas present. Diana said with a serious face that she planned to leave for 10 minutes to visit Shazam and Cyborg, and ran away with her.

——Sorry, I can't bear it, we bid farewell to this wish! !

Vera: "..."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the coconut-smoked chicken in the oven emits a strong aroma, Christmas red wine is gurgling in the enamel pot of the kitchen, and the complex and sweet smell of cinnamon, lemon, cloves and honey reverberates in the warm living room .

The fire is blazing, the firewood is beeping, and the decorations hanging on the holly tree are all customized by Vera. In addition to common decorative toys such as candy canes, snowmen, and bows, there are even various Q version superhero model.

As expected, Barry brought back a big bag of presents. Like a real Santa Claus, he stuffed all these large and small gift boxes under the Christmas tree. Diana also returned as promised. She brought back the cake made by Skeleton's father And handmade candies from Shazam.

On the terrace on the third floor, the old father Batman who was in charge of transporting the children and Superman who came from Kansas appeared in front of Vera at the same time.

"Vera!"

The most excited Robin came out from behind Batman like a bird, showing great anticipation and joy for being invited by Vera, and then he was grabbed by the collar by his old father. Say hello to Vera honestly.

It was obvious that he had gone through a night patrol that was not so smooth, the boy's uniform still smelled of gunpowder smoke, and his face was flushed red by the cold wind:

"Isn't it too early to say Merry Christmas...well, I mean, thank you for having me, Vera, you wouldn't have thought how happy I was when B told me about—"

Bruce had to cough twice more, interrupting Dick's overexcited chatter.

Unfortunately, Vera just looked down at the time and shook her head at Bruce: "You're 10 minutes late."

The joy that filled Dick's throat suddenly caught in his throat, and he froze.

be late?What's late?

Is this party over yet?

"There was a little accident."

Bruce would never confess to Vera that he sent Dick here in order to quickly end tonight's battle, what kind of quick plan he made, and what kind of attack he encountered on the way.

Dick stared blankly at Vera and Bruce, and after the two exchanged glances, Vera cast her gaze on Superman.

"...It's not too late."

Immediately understanding Vera's hint, Clark looked up at the sky and smiled.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Having said that, when Dick was still in a daze, Superman lifted Dick up with one hand.

Like 10 minutes ago, Green Lantern rushed out of the atmosphere with the screaming Jason. Dick only had time to exclaim, and after a tearing weightlessness, he opened his eyes again, and was already surrounded by a pure force. And wrapped in powerful green energy.

Looking in the direction of the green light, Dick saw a starlight.

In the dark and gloomy night sky, a river formed by countless stars flows quietly past his head.

Bright, dim, flickering, diffused... The smoky hazy light contained shimmering waves of light. When Dick looked up, the light and shadow composed of stars were boundless, extending to the end of the darkness.

The place where he stands is beyond the earth, the galaxy is above his head, and the blue planet is slowly sliding along the established orbit behind him.

Clark let go, and Dick, whose mind was blank, subconsciously followed the instructions of the green light, and stumbled forward under the traction of this energy.

Farther and farther away from the sun, between Jupiter and Saturn, a huge building formed by the condensed energy of the green light suddenly appeared.

...It is more like a building than a huge playground.

The surface of the gas giant planet is full of gorgeous blue vortices, and the halo of the bright ring is faint. Not far from the planet, the train track made of green energy is like undulating waves, circling Jupiter Connected into a thing similar to a roller coaster track.

This long orbit started from Saturn, went through the galaxy and the belt of light with great flexibility and twisted, circled Jupiter, and finally came to Dick.

The track stretched out, and in the slide train transformed by the green light, the only passenger - Jason, a child under seven years old, was waving at Dick.

Due to the inability of sound transmission, Dick couldn't read anything from Jason's waving, but from his flushed face and bright eyes, he suddenly realized that his blindfold and cloak had been taken off .

Almost foolishly drawn by the green light, the big brother Dick also sat in the small train. The halos on the two boys connected to each other, and Dick could finally hear Jason's words clearly.

"Dick Grayson, you're too slow."

Kid Jason said very contemptuously.

Before Dick could explain, the owner of this huge building—Green Lantern flew to the side of the train at some point, and Superman who just sent Dick was standing beside him.

"Ready?"

Green Lantern's deep and hearty voice rang in the ears of the two children. He winked at the two children and snapped his fingers crisply.

"Children, welcome to the galaxy train designed by the designer Vera Senna and built by the greatest Green Lantern - Merry Christmas!"

As soon as the words fell, the train suddenly took a step forward and fell crazily, and the two children screamed at the same time.

It really is a galactic roller coaster!

In the powerful sense of weightlessness, the train slid almost straight into the dark abyss, and countless tiny light spots passed by the cheeks of Dick and Jason.

The next moment, the train track suddenly went up, spiraling up like a ball of seaweed. The two children felt that their vision was changing wildly. They saw the fiery red sun for a while, and the bright stars for a while... Finally, the train came to the top of the track and passed This node stays for a while and becomes slow.

Dick subconsciously held Jason in his arms, and the two children, one big and one small, looked up at the same time, only then did they realize that the river of stars was in their eyes.

Amidst the mottled light and shadow, they can pluck off the stars just by raising their hands lightly.

This is the beauty that ordinary human beings can't experience in person in their entire lives.

Dick's eyes were as bright as if they had been kissed by the stars, his heart was beating violently, and the whole skeleton seemed to be stuffed with foam. He opened his mouth, but he could only let out a low, hoarse cry.

In a position in front of him, Jason's entire face was lit up. He stretched out his hand involuntarily, but quickly drew it back, as if he was afraid of disturbing the galaxy.

After a brief silence, the train sank to the bottom of the sea like a leaping whale.

It rose and fell, and brought the two children to the surface of the gas giant planet. Here, the following Superman lifted a thick fog with his hands, and the indescribably dazzling diamond rain spread in front of them. Come.

It crosses the entire nebula at high speed, and breaks into the meteor belt with a strong sense of weightlessness. Here, the Green Lantern came in person, pulling the train with a light ring to avoid the heavy attack of the meteorite in a thrilling way.

The two children were hit by the huge surprise and almost forgot to breathe. They stared into the distance, reluctant to take their eyes off for a moment.

In the rain of diamonds, under the leisurely green light, in front of the oncoming meteorite, under... this galaxy.

The train roared over the huge blue planet, and they looked up, finally getting a glimpse of this beautiful planet covered by oceans.

Jason stared at the planet intently.

He stands in the gap between the worlds.

In the past, Vera's previous reminders and careless teachings flooded into her brain, and the past about this planet unfolded little by little, including historical changes, the emergence of human beings, the formation of countries, war, peace, crime, and glory. ... the vicissitudes of life.

In front of such a planet, even Superman and Green Lantern seem too small.

The child seemed to understand something, he seemed to understand something, but he seemed to understand nothing.

The only thing that is clear is that after witnessing such a spectacle, Jason can no longer connect Christmas with everything in the past.

As Vera guessed, he really hated Christmas.

For the old street kid, Christmas meant cold and snow, less traffic on the street, closed shops, no way to steal his wallet, no way to get food.

Blizzard can really freeze people to death.

Jason doesn't just hate Christmas, he hates winter too.

On countless nights, young children wrapped themselves in dirty clothes as much as possible, huddled up in dilapidated eaves and garbage dumps to keep warm, and had to be wary of someone who would take advantage of the winter night to attack street children.

Would he find it beautiful when he lit a fire with newspapers and looked at the starry sky and the snow around him?

At that time, he was so far away from the stars.

At this moment, he is within reach of the stars.

Jason doesn't remember much about Christmas in the past, and instead, this galaxy is so bright that it makes people cry.

The boy stared at the universe for a long time, and asked softly:

"Is this...a gift from her?"

"Correct."

Hal didn't know when he flew to Jason's side. He and Superman picked up the two children, big and small, and explained with a chuckle:

"It is indeed Vera's Christmas gift for you—if you are not late, you can even see two diamond rains 10 minutes ago."

It is true that with the imagination and ability of Green Lantern, although such a roller coaster track can also be designed, it is of course impossible to achieve this step in terms of visual effects and experience.

Only Vera will personally find all kinds of roller coaster track designs a few days in advance, consult the architects in person, calculate the time, space and distance, calculate the most beautiful starry sky, and calculate the diamond rain on Jupiter time for children to visit.

Of course, she is the only one who has the guts to ask Green Lantern and Superman to take care of the children at the same time, and ask the Superheroes of the Justice League to be obedient.

Thinking of Vera's domineering look made him feel funny, Clark glanced at Jason, and sighed softly with complicated emotions:

"...you have an omnipotent mother."

As long as you want, as long as you want, she will hold everything in front of you—even this galaxy.

……

……

On the ground, the "omnipotent" Vera is opening a can.

After Jason and Dick were brought into the universe by Superman and the others, she had been sitting on the edge of the terrace, tossing the canned fruit in her hand, and looking up at the sky intentionally or unconsciously.

Bruce, who was planning to leave after sending Dick here, stood aside and looked at Vera for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking:

"...What the hell are you doing?"

Vera: "Open the jar."

She looked up at the sky and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Bruce was silent for a few seconds, pointed at the can that Vera was pinching in her hand and was tortured by her back and forth, and asked sharply:

"Can't you open a can?"

Vera froze: "..."

The air on the terrace froze suspiciously.

Bruce glanced across Vera's fingers that had become a little red and swollen, across the tab on the can that had been torn off, and finally landed on the lid of the can that hadn't moved at all, and immediately "...".

Vera Senna, who claims to be "omnipotent" and can hold the whole world in front of children, is a waste of life who can't even open a can ==

The man sighed and held out his hand to Wei La: "Give me the can, and I'll open it for you."

——That's it, this woman is ashamed to buy a bunch of canned food to make up for it?

"I can drive it myself."

Vera's face was expressionless, she increased her strength, exerted force with her fingertips, and held on to the pull ring, desperately exerting force, her fingertips trembled - only heard a "click", and the pull ring broke.

The tab snapped off, and the can lid didn't budge.

Vera: "..."

Bruce: "..."

After a long silence, Vera suddenly raised her head and looked up at the sky with her hands on the awning: "Ah, they're back."

After all, like a cat that made a mistake, she pretended nothing happened and stuffed the can into the drawer of the desk, and walked towards the living room as if nothing had happened.

Bruce wanted to sigh again, he opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't help showing a smile.

So, Diana, Barry and the others, who were talking in the living room and waiting for the Christmas dinner, saw that Batman, who was supposed to leave Dick, not only did not leave, but followed Vera into the living room, all of them showed shocked expressions expression.

Diana, surprised: "...Didn't you say that there are still tasks tonight?"

"what."

Batman replied calmly, "I'll wait for Dick to come back."

He meant to wait for Dick to come back and go together.

Diana was dubious, and met Barry with an inexplicable look.

However, although……

There's nothing wrong with you staying here, but kid Jason might not be very happy... Should I say it's fortunate that his vest hasn't fallen off yet?

After a while, Barry heard Kazkaz's voice from the cooking table. He turned his head and asked even more surprised:

"Batman, why are you... opening all the cans?"

Just open one can, but the question is why do you open one of each can and put it there? !

This time, Bruce didn't answer.

He continued to take out one can after another from the box, snapping and twisting them open with ease.

It didn't take long for Barry to be tortured by the clicking sound, and Vera, who was standing at the door, finally welcomed the familiar green light.

The Milky Way train fell straight down from the dark sky, and came in front of Vera with the exclamations and gasps of the two children, Jason and Dick.

Vera nodded politely at Hal and Clark, then bent down and hugged Jason who was staggering in the train.

Although the action of hugging Jason was gentle and steady, the words Vera said were:

"Seeing how white your face is, you won't be frightened, will you?"

... as obnoxious as ever.

Of course, this was said when Vera took Jason to his bedroom to change clothes. Although Vera did like to tease children, she would never talk about her children in front of Superman, Green Lantern and other outsiders. shortcoming.

As soon as these words came out, Jason, who was originally showing a complicated face to Vera, didn't know what to do, really blew his hair. He frowned, stared at Vera, and gritted his teeth:

"Who is scared!"

He sat down on his own bed, crossed his arms, and spent a long time trying to suppress the urge to fight against Vera, and said to Vera angrily:

"Stretch out your hand."

Vera followed her words, showing her pale and thin palms... Then Jason stared at her.

Looking at the extremely thin hand, the boy pursed his lips, still lifted his left hand, which he had been holding tightly, and put the small thing he had been holding in his palm into Vera's palm.

It is a small, brilliant, drop-shaped diamond.

This was what Jason reached out to hold at the risk of passing through the diamond rain.

"……Merry Christmas."

Jason turned his head away sullenly and a little shyly, his voice was low.

"I didn't take the initiative to bring it to you. This diamond fell into my hand... Anyway, it's a gift in return for the ring. Also, don't bother with the amusement park train anymore, I don't need it!"

"……Do you not like it?"

Vera tilted her head and asked back.

"……right!"

Jason gritted his teeth, and said firmly, "I don't like it, only a fool Dick would like that kind of gift, look at my wish, when did I like that kind of thing?"

Sure enough, the brat really guessed that she planned to use the name of Santa Claus to fulfill his wish for him, so he deliberately wrote those two notes.

The corner of Vera's mouth hooked, she simply squatted down, kept the same level as Jason sitting by the bed, and asked softly and a little worriedly:

"But, your only wish is 'dislike', I don't know what you like!"

"...Then there's no need to ask!"

Jason was so annoyed, he looked at Vera right in front of him, and blushed.

I don't like anything.

I don't like the bastard men who are always around you, I don't like the Milky Way train, I don't like Mrs. Wigner and Marie, and I don't like Christmas.

...But, I like you.

"Next time you don't need to spend time doing these things for me, I don't need it."

Jason sighed. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked the haggard blackness under the corners of Vera's eyes. He felt helpless and angry at the same time, and a depression suddenly rose in his heart, which was as uncomfortable as a needle prick.

"I don't like anything."

He repeated fiercely.

I don't like you spending time on these things, I don't like you staying up late to do these things, I don't like me who always needs to be coaxed by you, I don't like you being omnipotent, I know you can't do anything.

The third Christmas wish that only belongs to children is not to make other wild men stay away from Vera, let alone let Vera Senna stay by his side forever.

Instead...wait for me.

When I grow up.

I also want to be able to protect you.
