Joanna spent nearly two weeks in the hospital.During the period, Bruce sent people to condolences twice.Joanna didn't intend to make the scene too eye-catching, and thanked the people who came to condolences very politely.Turning around, he still asked Besson to chase after Gordon, asking to see her no matter what.

Gordon, who had been reminded by Bruce a long time ago, had a headache.After hiding from Besson for several days, he had to threaten Besson not to hinder his work by stopping providing information to the newspaper.Besson had no choice but to turn around and explain the situation to Joanna.

When Bethan went to find Joanna, Ethan and Benji were visiting Joanna in the ward.The three of them were talking about something important, when Besson opened the door and went in.

The moment he entered, Besen was stunned.He had never seen the two men in front of him before, but years of investigation experience as a reporter told him that these two men were definitely not ordinary people.Besson glanced at Joanna worriedly: "Sorry, did I bother you?"

Joanna shook her head: "It's okay. I'm just... chatting casually with my friends. By the way, these two are..."

"Hi, I'm Michael Johnson, and this is my colleague Peter Brown." Ethan stretched out his hand towards Bethan with a natural expression.

Bethan held Ethan's right hand and shook it politely, but his eyes involuntarily glanced at Joanna: "Hi, I'm Bethan, Joanna's colleague."

Joanna raised her hand and touched her nose uncomfortably: "Bethan, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

"Oh! I just came to tell you. I don't think Sergeant Gordon is very willing to come to see you. I asked him to come here a few times, but he sent me with excuses. I probably pissed him off today , he said that if I want to pester him again, he will not provide us with intelligence information in the future. I don’t think Kroger will like this ending, so..." Bethan shrugged, "So I left .I guess you won't see him."

Joanna sighed, looked at Ethan, and then said to Bethan, "Thank you, I understand. Let's find a solution after I'm discharged from the hospital."

Besson wanted to ask Joanna what she wanted to see Gordon, but he looked at the two people next to him and decided not to ask too much about it.The reporter's intuition told him that keeping a little information blank on Joanna's issue was necessary to save his life.

Besson paid Joanna a few more words of polite concern, and then left alone.

As soon as Bethan left, Ethan asked, "What are you looking for Gordon for?"

Joanna sighed and looked away.

"Are you going to meet Harley Quinn?"

"Ethan, Harley is my friend. It's normal for me to want to see her. Besides, didn't you say it at the beginning? The clown is here for the tongue of lies this time. Aren't you curious that they plan to use it What are you here for? You are not curious, how many other criminals know the tongue of lies? How much do they know about the tongue of lies? Is this information of no use to you?"

Benji looked at Ethan and nodded restrainedly: "Hey, buddy, I think what she said makes sense. Harley Quinn is indeed the person most likely to know this information."

Ethan glanced at Benji a little dissatisfied, and then said to Joanna in a soothing tone: "Joanna, I used to... didn't know much about superheroes and that prophecy. So many times my decisions Not so...perfect."

Benji couldn't help complaining: "Your plans are never perfect."

Ethan couldn't help but glance at him again.

Benji hurried to make amends: "But every backup plan works. Hey, mission execution requires our resilience, doesn't it?"

Ethan planned to ignore Benji, and after giving him a warning look, he turned to Joanna and said, "But I heard most of it from Batman. I think... we should think about that prophecy carefully." .”

"Think carefully?" Joanna raised her eyebrows high, waiting for Ethan to express his opinion.

"Keep you safe. Until that time comes."

"Tch." Joanna couldn't help lowering the corners of her mouth, "Let me guess, what you were thinking about just now was actually told to you by Batman, right? My God, Ethan, I thought all of you agents Very sharp. You haven't just met him, you have worked with him, with me, remember? You should remember that when I worked with him, I once proposed not to attack Harley, but what happened?"

"But Harry, she treats you..." Ethan stopped talking here.

Joanna pursed her lips and thought for a while: "I don't mean anything else, what I mean is, if what you just said was told by Batman, you should probably listen to other opinions and think about it."

Ethan smiled slightly: "Didn't I come to listen to your opinion now?"

Joanna took a deep breath, and then said: "Of course, what I said next did not happen at all, and may never happen. However, I hope you can consider the possibility of this."

"All ears."

"You've always been thinking about keeping me safe, but you haven't thought about it. If I can't figure it out and suddenly become a big villain. What should I do? I mean, look... I work for a small newspaper, work Not very happy yet. Superman in Metropolis beats me, you know. Iron Man in New York can't get in touch with me now for various reasons, and we are scared to send each other postcards for the holidays. Batman is a ... Forget it, I don't swear. My former good sister is now brought into Arkham. I also... broke up, and I haven't found a new target until now. In this case, in the TV series, I black It’s not too much to change into a villain, right?”

Ethan hadn't had any real fights with Joanna before, but when Joanna asked him this question, his mind went blank for two seconds.

"Wait a minute." Benji opened his mouth first, "Is it just a rumored lying tongue? Why do I think what Joanna said is very reasonable?"

Ethan looked at his companion, feeling that life is difficult.

"Do you know what makes me feel the most uncomfortable? It's just like this. Every time I say something very reasonable, but you always think it's a matter of lying tongue." Joanna looked at Ethan with a little hurt, " Is it that hard to admit that you were wrong?"

Ethan was speechless, and could only ask for a long time: "What are you going to do after meeting Harley?"

Joanna, who had prepared a long paragraph, suddenly lost her temper when faced with this sudden question.

"I agree with what you said. It does make a lot of sense. It's Batman's fault for not thinking about it. But, Joanna, can you tell me what you're going to do when you meet Harley? What do you think you can do for her?" What?"

Joanna bit her lip, unable to answer.

Seeing Joanna's appearance, Ethan knew that she understood what he meant, so he didn't say any more.

Joanna sat sullenly for a while, and suddenly said in a low voice: "I just want to try to make myself do something, so that I feel that I am not useless..."

"Joanna, you...you're not useless. Why do you think so?"

Joanna raised her head suddenly: "Isn't it? If it weren't for the lying tongue, would you care about me? If it wasn't for the damn prophecy, Shi...Captain America would still come to see me at this juncture ?”

Why Joanna is so stubborn, Ethan finally has the answer at this moment.

He sighed and looked back at his companion.After hesitating for a long time, he said to Joanna: "You have a good rest. If... if you still want to see Harley Quinn after you are discharged from the hospital, we can discuss it at that time. But promise me, don't do it." Stupid thing."

Joanna was a little dazed, she didn't understand why Ethan thought she would do something stupid.She couldn't think of anything else she could do stupidly.

But in the end, she asked Ethan a question that had nothing to do with this.Ethan didn't tell her the answer to that question.

"Why did you help me?" she asked.

The same question, after Ethan communicated with Batman, Batman also asked it once.

"Don't say you're just thinking about the prophecy. Don't fool me with the 'if she turns black, we're in big trouble' argument." Batman in night clothes has a pair of eyes that can be seen clearly in the dark. Eyes of all mist.

"Shouldn't we think about it that way?"

"Yes." Batman replied calmly, "but I don't think you should avoid my question just now."

Since Ethan didn't answer Joanna's question, he naturally wouldn't answer Batman either.

He believes that although everything he experienced in the past made him who he is today, it affects his decision-making.But that doesn't mean he should come clean about his past.

"Anyway, I think you should consider my proposal." Ethan looked at Batman with expectation in his eyes.

"You also said that letting the two of them meet won't change anything. It's Arkham, and I don't think it's a good place to visit." Batman showed a kind of dissatisfaction on the issue of Arkham. Understandably stubborn, "And judging from what you said, she won't do stupid things just because she can't meet Harley Quinn. We don't need to take risks."

"On the contrary, it's not an adventure, but something that must be done." A strange male voice suddenly sounded from the corner.

Batman didn't think about it at all, and subconsciously threw the bat dart in the direction of the sound.

The dart neither hit the target nor was it parried away.But inexplicably...disappeared? !

Batman looked at the scanning device on his wrist, and the instrument showed that within a radius of 20 meters, there were no known energy fluctuations.

In other words, the stranger did not use some high-tech means to dodge the attack.

At least not on Earth technology.

Batman asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
