The world needs more heroes

"What are you looking at?" Philomena's voice suddenly appeared, waking up Dick who was distracted.

Dick shook his head, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "You seem to have very little furniture in your room, are you too busy to buy any?"

Philomena raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and looked around. There were indeed few furnishings in the room, which looked a little too simple.

But since she was a child, Philomena has never owned many things. Her desire to shop is not strong, and she only buys what she needs, so she can use insurance funds and investment funds without any scruples. Buy two houses in full.

So Philomena shook her head: "It's just not necessary."

She brought out a large plate with five desserts neatly arranged on a thin white porcelain plate, including the pudding Dick just mentioned, the salt and pepper pumpkin pie and the French quiche pie, as well as a tiramisu and a Strawberry mille-feuille.

It can be considered that the preparation is very comprehensive, whether you want to eat salty or sweet, very sweet or not so sweet, you can have everything you expect.

Philomena noticed the logo on the bag that Dick brought. It was a very famous pastry shop in the metropolis, famous for its handmade desserts. sooner or later.

"Don't you have to work?" The girl frowned, pulled away the chair by the table, and gently placed the plate on the table.By this time Dick had come out of the kitchen, still holding two plates and two sets of knives and forks that Philomena had just put on the counter to take out.

"I just took my annual vacation. I didn't come to the metropolis very much before, so I wanted to come and have fun." Dick put the plates, knives and forks away, neatly like the waiters who would see them in restaurants: "I remember recently School should be on holiday for a few days, right?"

Indeed, that's right, it should be the anniversary of the birth of someone important in the metropolis - or the anniversary of the death - and the entire metropolis school has a three-day holiday.

"You actually know this." Philomena shrugged, looked around the plate, and finally chose the quiche pie.

In fact, Philomena doesn't hate sweets, and she was really moved when she saw the box of pudding and that piece of tiramisu, but just 5 minutes ago, she just said that she hates sweets, so it can't be so fast Just slap in the face.

Fortunately, quiche is a very classic French country cuisine. It is a popular and common food in families or banquets, and it is not difficult to make. Simply put, it is a salty, pie-based Baked eggs wrapped in skin.

French quiche has a special flavor whether it is cold or hot. The taste of butter is more fragrant when it is hot, but after it is cold, the taste is multi-layered and rich because the baked eggs have solidified.

The dessert shop is not far from the apartment in the city center. It seems that Dick came here directly after buying it. When Philomena picked up the French quiche, it was still slightly warm. hot temperature.

Philomena moved lightly and looked very focused. Dick, who was sitting opposite the girl, supported his head with one hand, and slightly bent his eyes looking at Philomena.

She looked, indeed, much more lively than what was shown in the information, even if she was a little more vigilant, she seemed a little more repulsive.

But still a good boy.

"What are you looking at? Don't you want to eat?" Philomena frowned slightly. The girl noticed that Dick had been staring at her after eating two mouthfuls of salty pie, so she couldn't help but put down the knife. Fork, asked in a vicious voice.

"I'm thinking—" Dick paused for two seconds and elongated his tone slightly.

"Since it's all on holiday, do you want to go to the amusement park tomorrow?"

Philomena Olson never thought that she would appear in the amusement park one day, or it should be said that she never thought that anyone would dare to invite her to the amusement park.

The girl with a cold face has a gorgeous face, her long curly hair casually draped over her shoulders looks shiny and bright, her pair of azure blue eyes seem to be soaked with ice that will never melt for thousands of years, and she is coldly scanning all the people present. people.

The girl's height is not high, but her proportions are good. She has a slender waist and long legs. Wearing simple denim shorts and a sleeveless short top, she looks youthful and beautiful.

It would be better if she didn't look so impatient.

And the young man walking next to the girl made the eyes of the girls who noticed this side light up slightly. He had a gentle and bright smile on his face, and his short black hair fluttered with the breeze, azure blue. His eyes are like deep sea water, blue but unable to see the bottom.

The young man's clothes are also very simple, a short-sleeved T-shirt and black denim trousers, but his figure is fully exposed under the slightly tight T-shirt, and his eight-pack abdominal muscles are vaguely attached to the clothes, strong and strong .

"They look too pretty." The passer-by girl who came with her boyfriend couldn't help but turned on her phone and took a photo. She is a well-known wedding photographer herself, and the couple photos she took are beautiful It is famous that even if it is only using a mobile phone, it can still take a picture of the wind blowing atmosphere in pink.

"Johnny, look!" She tugged at the boyfriend beside her, and when the boyfriend brought her head closer, she raised the phone like a treasure.

The girl in the picture is facing the sun, narrowing her eyes slightly, while the young man walking by must have noticed this, and is pulling out a baseball cap from his backpack helplessly.

"This is too sweet, I'm addicted to it!" Johnny looked at his girlfriend who was always taking CP randomly, and shook his head helplessly.

As for the [couple] who were being craved for CP, the atmosphere at the moment was far from as good as everyone else imagined.

Philomena felt that she had been slapped in the head for agreeing to Dick yesterday, otherwise, how could she waste eight hours of her life by appearing in this large amusement park on the outskirts of the metropolis?

It is not far from the bridge from Metropolis to Gotham, and it is already a very remote place on the outskirts of Metropolis, so there is enough money to buy such a large piece of land.

But for Philomena, she doesn't find all the facilities in the amusement park exciting.

Can the roller coaster still have Genji's real high-altitude jump and be scary?Or is the speed at which angels fly into the sky not exciting enough?

Dick, who was walking beside him, seemed to be in a good mood. The young man kept a safe distance from Philomena, and the smile on his face hadn't stopped since he bought the ticket and entered the amusement park.

Finally, Philomena couldn't bear it anymore, and she said sullenly: "Why are you so happy?"

"kindness?"

"I said, why do you look so happy? Don't you think it's boring?"

Dick finally seemed to come back to his senses. He and Philomena have been occasional neighbors for more than three months, enough for him to understand Philomena's heart surrounded by indifferent appearance. In his opinion, Philomena Na is just a little girl who doesn't want to be hurt anymore, so she wraps herself with a sharp knife.

"I'm not happy because I come to the playground to play."

"Didn't you notice that when you go out with friends, you will feel better."

"The most boring thing in this world is living alone."

Philomena pursed her lips slightly. This was not the first time he heard the word "friend" from other people.

It was Peter Parker, the big fool from New York for the first time. Philomena believed that her attitude towards Dick was definitely a hundred times worse than now, but Parker would maintain a safe distance so that she would not panic. At the same time, he came to the door every day, as if it was real──.

I really want to be friends with her.

Dick Grayson in front of him was the second person to say this in front of Philomena. Philomena knew the secret identity of the other party very well. She even used this secret identity to threaten Batman. , if the other party tries to spy on their identities again, they will announce the identities of their whole family.

Now, for the first time, Philomena regretted it a little.

But she was stubborn, awkward and selfish.

So in the end Philomena just muttered softly: "Friend, ha.", as if she was still struggling to refuse in the end.

"So," Dick unfolded the park information guide in his hand, and quickly scanned it with his eyes: "What do you want to play first, I bought a ticket for express clearance this time, and I can enter in advance."

"...free fall." Finally, Philomena gave the answer, and the girl awkwardly moved to Dick's side, and looked at the guide list with him: "There is also ice cream."

Going from where the two of them are now to the place where the free fall is, just passing by the ice cream stand, Dick suddenly remembered the sentence that Philomena said yesterday when she prevented him from entering the door, "I don't like sweets. ", couldn't help but smile.

She is indeed a lovely girl.

After confirming the target, they walked towards the direction of the free fall, but when they approached the ice cream stand, they heard a weird and sharp laughter.

The big screen in the playground flickered strangely, and then the entire screen went dark completely. When it was lit up again, the people who appeared on the screen made those who noticed screamed instantly.

"It's the clown──!"

There was a strange, red smile on his pale face, green half-long hair was wet on the man's shoulders, he was wearing a purple suit, and there was a rotten flower pin pinned to his chest.

The man's green eyes were filled with a wild and wanton smile, and the corners of his mouth were sutured with scars, making him look hideous and weird.

Sharp laughter came from the loudspeaker, making everyone present goosebumps instantly.

The man opened his hands wide, as if he was making a speech. After laughing wildly, he suddenly calmed down. He was simply a crazy lunatic.

"How are you, Metropolis!"
