[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Ada's heart almost collapsed.

Who would have thought?Who would have thought!

Batman is actually Bruce Wayne, or should I say, Bruce Wayne is actually Batman!

Who suddenly discovered that there is no positive and lace news in his own family to touch the fish. When the horror symbol of the Dark Knight, will feel unacceptable.

If her boss hadn't just rescued her from under the gun, Ada would probably think that this person is probably in a hurry recently, so he put the cosplay Batman on his extreme death schedule.

But it was true that Bruce Wayne had just rescued her from under the dick.

It's also true that the expression on his face and the muscles under his Kevlar suit are Batman.

Sherlock Holmes' famous saying is really good-when you eliminate all impossible situations, the rest, no matter how incredible it is, is the truth.

So Ada could only admit that what the boss said was true.

Yes, that's right, Bruce Wayne is the famous outlaw... oh no, the superhero Batman.

Ada only felt that her outlook on life and the world had undergone an extremely cruel baptism.

But after accepting this fact, many details that she thought were subtle before gradually surfaced, and all of them had reasonable explanations.

The boss is keen on extreme sports and always hurts himself?Violent law enforcement will inevitably lead to accidents. After all, superheroes are all about heartbeats. Engaging in high-risk activities will definitely pay a price. Mortal body... well, he really is a mortal body, right?

"May I ask a question..."

In fact, the understanding of the Justice League is limited to a few words on the Internet. Someone bowed his head and humbly asked for advice.As far as she knows, Superman is the Man of Steel and the Son of Krypton, Wonder Woman is the Amazon warrior with some kind of supernatural power, and the Flash can run as fast as the speed of light... Every member of the Justice League seems to have some kind of special superpower , she would like to know...

"What is your superpower?"

And Batman gave her a peaceful look that made him look like the Bruce Wayne she knew again.After this glance, he casually pressed the Batmobile's operation button twice, folded his arms, turned his head, and showed Ada a smile unique to Gotham babies.

"I'mrich. (Money ability)"

Ahhhhh capitalism.

Ada looked up blankly at the roof of the Batmobile.Although it can't be called luxurious, everything she sees and every part reveals an "expensive" atmosphere.

Well, in this world, money is not everything, but without money, everything is impossible, and all problems that can be solved with money are not problems... Woooooo, she is so sour, she is sour into lemon juice.

Ada, who silently picked six lemons in her heart, had given up thinking about how much the Batmobile would cost in conversion.

As far as the self-driving technology and the smart housekeeping system she saw just now, the patent money is already an astronomical figure that she can't buy with her lifetime salary.

And all this is just the beginning.

After she arrived at the Batcave and saw Batman's garage, Ada really realized what it means to "don't walk around here, I'll go. Buy a lemon tree and come back".

Is this a car?No, this is simply a vast ocean of banknotes.

Lemon fruit on the lemon tree, you and me under the lemon tree.

If it weren't for being a secretary, the financial report would have to go through her hands, Ada would really not be able to help standing here, asking her boss and everyone in the Wayne Group the soul question that any ordinary citizen would ask when standing here ——

——Boss, is our company really not stealing | tax | evading | tax _(:з」∠)_?

……

……

……

Of course Wayne Group did not steal|tax|evade|tax.

In the end, Ada can only attribute all this to "the happiness of rich people is really unexpected".

Of course, this is not to say that she will misunderstand Batman because he is Bruce Wayne. Although Ada's mind will occasionally turn suddenly, and then she will be stubborn to the end, but it is not the kind of ignorance. people.It is absolutely impossible to turn around and slander the personality of others as soon as someone helps her.

There are so many rich people in the world, but only one Batman.Not everyone who has the ability to make money will devote their money and themselves to the cause of helping the weak and guarding the darkness without seeking fame and fortune.For Ada, the existence of such a person is like a lamp that illuminates the night—or the kind that burns itself as a candlestick.

"I seem to understand why my past self did what I did."

When eating breakfast in Wayne Manor, Ada said this to AI.

Because she still has the risk of being attacked, no one can guarantee that those people will not prepare for the next assassination if they miss a hit-in fact, both Ada and Batman agree that the other party will launch a second attack in a short time. The possibility of an attack is very high - so in order to ensure Ada's safety, and in order not to implicate others, Bruce decided to let her stay in Wayne Manor with the highest security measures.

As for work... the big boss has given you a vacation, what else can others say?

The job with a monthly income of two dogs is kept-even if it can't be kept, it doesn't matter, right? ——Ada can naturally live in Wayne Manor with peace of mind.Playing games and watching anime every day, occasionally studying the company's financial reports, living in a luxurious manor that is unmatched by a five-star hotel, and having three meals a day prepared by someone without having to worry about it, these days are simply very happy and leisurely.

This allowed Ada to temporarily forget about the fact that someone wanted to kill her, to recover from the previous life-and-death frontline, and even have the heart to chat with AI about those memories that have no clue yet.

"Based on my personality, if I fall in love with this kind of man, it's not surprising that I will become like that."

Ada took a sip of black tea, and was surprised to find that the black tea here was even more to her taste than her own. After sincerely thanking the old British housekeeper, she turned around and continued with AI. topic of.

"He and I are both very tough people. Although I don't remember the past, there are still some left." She raised her hand and tapped her forehead, "I don't know if the formatting is not thorough enough. Occasionally I will also think of something from the past... A long time ago, my friend said that I am the kind of person who must do what I want, not to mention not turning back if I hit the south wall, and I am not willing to hit the south wall She bowed her head and was unwilling to admit defeat. She said that my temper is too bad, and I don't know what troubles I will cause myself in the future..."

Having said that, Ada smiled wryly.

"I always thought she was wrong. Now that I think about it, she might be right."

Ada has always been very clear that there is a very arbitrary side in her character.Although that trait was not obvious, and was even concealed under feminine softness, the cold and arbitrary side was indeed engraved in her nature.

"In a sense, he and I are the same kind of people."

Ada smiled, maybe it is now that she lost her memory, she can jump to the perspective of the sidelines to analyze this relationship.This is probably because the authorities are obsessed with bystanders.

"We are all the kind of people who have strong self-assertion. We firmly believe in the decisions we have made. No matter how many people persuade us or how many obstacles there are, we will take it for granted that we will walk on the path we have decided."

That way of life is a matter of course for them.From the very beginning, there was no other way for them to go.are you tired?very tired.Will it shake?will shake.But in the end, none of them can withdraw from the path they have decided on.

It's not whether you want to or not, it's whether you can do it or not.

"so……"

Ada investigated some Batman information and things about her past "self" a little bit, and she was able to understand why things turned out that way.

"If I had decided at the time that was the only way to be good for him, then I would have done that."

Ada took another sip of black tea, her tone unknowingly brought out some complicated meanings.

"You said before that in the past, I killed someone by mistake in revenge, right?"

The so-called guilt, the so-called sense of guilt, and the so-called pain can only be felt by people who still carry their memories. Now that they have lost those pasts, Ada will no longer be blindfolded by those things.Although she just thought about it for a while... she felt that she could hardly breathe.

Too painful, she thought.

And AI also expressed its opinion.

"Human beings are creatures whose eyes are blinded by their own emotions and impulses, and you only believe what you want to believe." It said lightly, "I told you at that time, his feelings for you will not be because of It will disappear like this, but you don't want to believe it."

"It's not that I don't want to believe it, but I can't believe it." Ada had a wry smile on his face, "Whether it's a scarecrow, Luther or a clown...he won't abandon his lover because of their death, but innocent are different."

The AI ​​exposed her indifferently: "The difference is not how he thinks of you, but how you think of yourself. You humans are always like this, projecting your emotions onto others, using your own cognition to define the cognition of others, and to see all these as 'facts'."

"You're right." Ada drank the last sip of black tea calmly, "Since that point, it has been misplaced."

It wasn't that he didn't want to forgive her.

It was her own inability to forgive herself.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be with her.

It's that she can't allow such a self to be with him again.

On that basis, she gave up the happy end of the two of them, and only sought a way for him to be happy alone.

"Life is really heavy. If you carry one more burden, you will have no way to move forward." Ada said softly.

"Life and death are just life and death. Life itself has no quality. What is heavy is human's own definition of it." There is no emotion in AI's words, "You have always been afraid."

What are you afraid of?

Fear of the sinful self.Fear of seeing myself become ugly like a monster.Fear of being rejected and abandoned by the other party.

Therefore, in such a decisive way, a boundary was drawn between two people, and I hope that the person I like can always walk on the other side of the boundary and not come here.What a naive and arrogant idea.It almost made her feel sad now.

"However, he doesn't want to stay on the other side of the boundary." Ada put down her teacup and quietly looked at the rose garden outside the window.

The tone of the AI ​​did not fluctuate: "Why do you ask knowingly?"

They wouldn't be sitting here now if he'd stayed on the Happy End path she'd arranged.Taking a step back, if Bruce Wayne had the kind of personality that would be willing to accept other people's arrangements, he wouldn't be Batman at all.

"It's not surprising that it will become a formatted situation in the end." Ada's wry smile was a little bit more serious, "When he realized that it was impossible for him to be without himself in his happiness, he had no choice but to give up. Isn't it?"

If everything is for the happiness of that person, there is no other way but to become like this.

Love will make people refuse to let go of their clenched hands no matter what kind of wounds they have.

It will also make people stop and turn around at the last moment no matter how far they have traveled.

The so-called love is such an unreasonable thing.

"So, do you want to get back together with him?" AI asked calmly.

"of course not."

Ada's answer was still the same as before, unchanged.

"That's something that I, who have the memory between the two of them, can decide."

As a bystander with little knowledge of the past, she has no right to make any decisions on behalf of the parties involved.

……

……

……

Knowing that Ada is a reality bender, knowing that she will inevitably appear around Bruce Wayne, an organization capable of creating such a large-scale pursuit...

Batman suspected the SCP Foundation at first, but he quickly dismissed that judgment.

After all, the purpose of the SCP Foundation is to control, contain, and protect (Secure, Contain, Protect), not destroy.While the SCP Foundation does clearly show hostility towards reality benders, they are equally aware that Ada cannot be killed.

She will come back to life again and again, and each death will give her a new identity and ability, and this ability will only become stronger and stronger.

The purpose of the SCP Foundation is to prevent her from becoming a god, not to cause her to become a god.

After briefly speaking with Foundation agents, Batman confirmed his opinion.

— not the SCP Foundation.

Of course, he also clearly rejected the other party's proposal to hand over Ada to them for containment and protection.

"I will take good care of her." He only left such a brief promise, and then disappeared.

——I will protect her.

As if to verify this statement, after that, there was always someone who stayed with Ada in Wayne Manor.

Sometimes it's Dick, sometimes it's Jason, sometimes it's Damian, and more often it's Tim.

It's not that Tim has more free time than the other kids, it's that Red Robin is always the busiest one, he's used to having the most work, and it's like he doesn't need sleep or food at all .

As the oldest kid, Dick was the funniest one, a handsome boy who was born to take center stage and get the most attention, and he was conscious of that and had fun doing it.Later, Ada learned from the conversation with him that he was a trapeze star who grew up in a circus, and he had learned how to make the audience's eyes fall on him since he could not walk.

Their first meeting was also quite pleasant. A beautiful circus trick can quickly bring the distance between two strangers closer, and Dick has never been stingy with showing off his skills to others. Encourage his more aggressive character.Soon the fancy trapeze tricks aren't enough for him, and Dick even performs a live trapeze for Ada during her seal clap.

...Of course, Dick, who was so daring enough to climb the chandelier bravely, received Batman's disapproving gaze, and was so cold that he almost fell off the chandelier.

Then Batman's eyes became more and more cold...

Damian is the polar opposite of Dick.This bad-tempered kid made no secret of his disdain for Ada, and almost wanted to hang the words "Nobodycares" on his face.And Ada naturally doesn't have any feelings for the Virgin to make a good relationship with the little kid who hates her. The two basically ignore each other in the Wayne mansion.

In modern terms, this is called two-way blocking.

Jason rarely returned to Wayne Manor, so he was the one who showed up the least.I don't know if it was Ada's illusion, but she always felt that this boy was avoiding her a little bit.After shielding each other for a period of time, Ada was really confused, so she pulled out the AI ​​to ask what happened.

The AI ​​gave the answer succinctly: "He has a good relationship with you in the past. Without knowing that you are you, this reaction is already very gentle."

Ada: "........."

Well, I understand, I cheated myself.

So, in the end, of the four pups... she turned out to have the best relationship with Barbara Gordon.

Oh, you said Barbara Gordon wasn't one of the four pups?

Yes, girls are not good?Is it because Batwoman is not cool enough or Batgirl is not cute enough, and you can still think of Robin when you get along with cute girls?

In fact, even conversations with girls are more frank and smooth than conversations with human males.

After a simple greeting, Barbara quickly revealed a surprise to Ida.

"Actually, we are all very curious about why Bruce would tell you his real identity directly." Barbara hesitated for a moment, and then said, "He really trusts you."

For a control freak + paranoia, this kind of sacrifice is indeed as great as a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder who does not close the door before going to bed. Thinking about it, one can't help but "hiss" as a respect, and then add "This is true love, right? ".

Although the Bat family didn't know why Bruce Wayne suddenly fell in love with his intern secretary, and it was the kind of sincere and straightforward true love, but upholding their trust in Batman, no one said much (except Damian), also released a kind attitude towards Ada (again except Damian).

But in Wayne Manor, the one Ida saw the most was the butler Alfred.The old butler with all white hair took good care of Ida, probably because of a woman Bruce hadn't dated for a long time.

Occasionally, very occasionally, Ada would feel that Alfred was watching her with a knowing look.There was nostalgia and kindness in that gaze, and Ada didn't know if the other party already knew her true identity.But since Alfred didn't speak, Ada couldn't say anything.

Based on the attitude of respecting the old and caring for the young is a traditional virtue, Ada often helps Alfred do some work within her ability.Of course, the old British gentleman also wanted to reject her at first, but after Ada used the phrase "idle is idle" in the universal sentence pattern, he no longer refused.

So, Ada helped Alfred prune roses in the garden every evening.

……

……

……

Ida was standing in the garden, pruning some overblown roses with a pair of garden shears, when John Constantine suddenly appeared.

The midsummer roses are blooming in stretches, so red that they seem to be burning in every corner. When the large silver gardening scissors are opened and closed, the dark green flower stalks will be broken every time, and the flowers of different colors will fall heavily. A chaotic and colorful pattern overlapped on the ground.Alfred was mowing the lawn on the other side, the air was filled with the smell of grass and blood of flowers, with a hint of fishy-sweet direction.

The short-legged corgi was happily spinning around Ada's feet, sticking out its tongue like a baby, and kept trying to pounce on her thigh, which made Ada have no choice but to stop from time to time and reach out to rub this The big head of the little spoiled monster made it hum happily.

And Constantine suddenly appeared at this time.Because she was so tightly entangled by the little corgi, Ada didn't notice how he came in.

Konstantin was still wearing his old brown trench coat, which was a bit khaki from washing too much.This old smoker who smoked seven packs of cigarettes a day once pulled himself out of the terminal stage of lung cancer. It seems that because he has made a contract with the devil that he will not die for a while, he has become even more prodigal. He has a cigarette in his mouth, and he has not slept for a long time. , a piece of short stubble grew on his slightly sunken cheeks, making him look a bit more aged.

"Batman asked me to help you," he said briefly.

If Ada still had memory, she would probably run as far as she could on Hot Wheels by now.

But unfortunately, Ada has no memory now, so not only did she not run away, she also put down the garden shears and showed a polite smile to Constantine.

"You are……?"

"John Constantine. A magician."

Constantine shook her hand with his non-smoking hand, and Ada subconsciously offered her hand, but stopped because of an inexplicable intuition that flashed through her mind.Just as she was thinking hard about what this flash of intuition was, Constantine smiled and shook hands with her.

I don't know if it was her illusion, but Ada always felt that after shaking hands with her, Constantine's smile widened a bit.

"Batman asked me to protect you from being taken away by those malicious guys."

Konstantin is really addicted to cigarettes. In just a short while, he had finished smoking a cigarette. He lowered his head and took out a pack of new cigarettes from his pocket, tore off the wrapping paper, and took a cigarette in his mouth. , but did not smoke directly, but narrowed his eyes and looked at her.

"Batman is negotiating with the SCP Foundation." He said calmly, "Although those guys are not very good, but this time it's not them who are targeting you. It's the GOC people."

"SCP? GOC?"

"The Global Occult Coalition is different from those SCP guys whose purpose is to control, contain, and protect (Secure, Contain, Protect). Their methods are more brutal and direct, and they tend to directly destroy those supernatural phenomena."

The corner of the magician's mouth twitched ironically.

"Reality benders like you are the ones they must destroy."

"Reality Bender?"

Ada only felt that she had experienced the confusion when Xiaobai first landed on the moon. What are all these settings... Why did I not understand... Wouldn't it be better to have less terminology! ?

Constantine briefly introduced what a reality bender is, and Ada's mouth twitched as she listened.

Well...she's sure and sure she's not some badass reality bender...but she also doesn't feel like she's being targeted.

Think about it, there is such a freshman AI standing behind her...

Thinking of this, Ada wanted to sigh even more.What is it all about.

but……

The subtle feeling of something wrong became more and more obvious.

Ada recalled the setting of the Justice League, and tilted her head strangely.

"I thought it was going to be Superman."

"Come on, who would put a reality bender next to Superman?" Constantine laughed, "He can't resist Poison Ivy's level of mind control. We don't put nuke|bombs on fire Besides, that's something a fool would do."

is it?

The intuition that something is wrong is getting stronger and stronger, and Ada always feels that there is an inexplicable subtlety in this scene, and even the person in front of her.Although she couldn't speak clearly, she still felt like a stick in her throat.

It seems that something can be seen from her expression.Constantine let out a sudden sigh.

"It's a pity I didn't want to be so rough with a lady like you."

Ada took a step back subconsciously, and suddenly clenched the garden shears in her hand.

Konstantin made a sudden move and brought down the Red Robin who was trying to restrain him from behind.

"Sorry, I can't leave a newborn 'god' alone." He said without sincerity.
